Ordinarily It is desirable to have a
deep soil, that the roots of plants may
strike deep. The latter is a desidera-
tum for the reason that a deep root
ing plant is less affected by the
droughts than any others. We see
this in the case Of some trees, which
have tap roots and are seldom affect
ed by the dry weather The shallow
soils are first to respond to drouth
and sometimes they are the slowest
to dry out, when the weather is wet.
The deeper the soil and the more 1t
is loosened up the greater the zone Of
earth that will be subject to the op-
erations Of the bacteria that add nj
trogen to the soil. One way of deep
ening soil is to pillow it as deep as
possible with O common plow and
then put on crop OF deep roofing
legumes. There are some legumes
that do not send their roots very deep,
such as COW peas, and there are
others that send their rotos to the
greatest possible depth into the soil.

muiutudes of farms soil viii re.

will and the air will be present on the
displacement of the water. SubsoiI.
blowing is sometimes effective and
sometimes not. but it should not be
undertaken unless there is to be a
considerable benefit received from the
operation, as 1t is an expensive one.

The screams which were issuing
from the little house were truly heart
rendiDg. It seemed that q terrible
tragedy must be in progress, and an
anxious little knot OF people gathered
in front Of the house, and wondered
why the others had not sufficient cour-
age to enter and rescue the victim.
At last an unconcerned youth came
out Of tho front door, whistling, and
one OF the spectators buttonholed
him.
What's going on in your house7"
he asked. whats the meaning OF
those fearful screams?"
"Eh?" said the youth. "oh'e-as a

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time. because Il
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 1e oz--one full
pound-while all other Cold Water
starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages. and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch Is free from all injurious chem
icals, II your grocer tries to sell you

4 stock on hand which he wishes to

Golf Mani In ENGLAND.

Lady Violet Greville. writing about
the golf mania, says: 1T has reached
all classes; 1t has swept England like
whirlwind and decimated It like a
pestilence. II you neither play golf
nor bridge, You are not man; you
are merely a number. The golf votary
believes that life was made for golf,
rot golf invented to enable one to
live. It is an obsession, madness, an
overmastering passion. The ardent
golf player forgets his wife and chill
cren his business, his sweetheart, his
country, while he is on the links
swinging his golf stick staring at the
tee"

The farmer and often the success or
failure of a crop will depend on the
kind of bacteria there is in soil,
The kind of soil and its physical
structure also have great deal to
do with the abundance Of bacteria.
IL has been found that a soil that is
rich in humus, that is, has much
vegetable matter in it, is better suit
ed for the development of bacteria
than SOIL that has in it very little
hpmus. It has previously been be
lieved that the only advantages In
having the humus was that 1t was q
source of nitrogen and that it also
held moisture and kept the ground
from drying out. The third good
quality must now be added, that of
making bacterial life more abundant
Whether this connection between the

important because the humus fur
nishes food for the bacteria or
whether 1t Is important because the
humus keeps the ground light and
moist and lets the air work through
1t easily. we do not yet know. Both
are reasonable suppositions. We are
sure to understand more about them
in the not distant future 1t is now
certain that we can introduce new
kinds Of bacteria into soils and that
we can by doing this greatly increase
the productive capacity of the farms
for certain crops.

The turning yellow Of wheat is fire.
quently caused by too much water in

times seen in house plants when the
owner has been too attentive to them

the field Of wheat or other crop this
condition may exist when the surface

Of too much water retards the ripen.

creases its yield. It may be that this
is one Of the chief causes why corn
on low land is caught by the frost
when corn on land only dozen feet
higher is not injured. Il has been
assumed that It was difference In

the hollows, but It does not seem like

difference But the low land fire.
Quently has In it more water than is
