Real Love Stories.

One of the great daily newspapers
has been making feature of late Of
the personal history Of citizens who,
by means Of their prominence, are
supposed to be known to its readers.
In a series of articles entitled, Real
Love Stories" it has told how they
won their wives and pictured the life
of the family. More than SO Of the
stories have been published. Since
they are romantic in the best sense,
and since they crafty that harmless
curiosity which is inspired by admira-
ton and respect, there is no reason to
regret their popularity. One might
go little further, indeed, and say
that the fact bears opportunity and
conclusively on comment by an
English traveller which was recently
printed in another newspaper. There's
no home life In this country, you know,
among people of my class" he IS re-
ported to have said. Your men are
business men and marry for CONNER
cial reasons; many of your women do
the same; and if the result IS not
alienation, 1t is liable to be unpleas'
antness." The reader will wonder
what kind Of people the unlucky tour
list has met. Men and women who
know the United States, because they
live in it, seldom find any who answer
his description. The couples who fig
ure in the stories married for love
and reared happy homes upon that I'M
commercial basis, declares the Youths
Companion, and persons who are not,
as they are, in the public eye, are do
ing the same thing everywhere and
every day. Family Quarrels and do
mestic scandals get into the neWspa-
pers and are talked about simply
because they are exceptional events.
Behind most marriages in this country
there is real love story, and it is al
ways ito be continued"

Stopping Washing on HiIfy Land.


Prevention Is better than a cure. bu
there may be others, who, like myself
unknowingly broke the wild sod across
the ravines or natural run-ways and
found out too late that they never
should have been pIowed. Sometimes
on hilly land a wash-out may start
| on top Of a hill where there is nd
natural depression but one caused by
a dead furroW. These washes leave
| unsightly bitches and often cover
large portions of the best land in the
low places with sand and gravel, max
ing them unproductiye. besides cut.
ting the fields into irregular shapes,
making them hard to work. | have
tried many ways Of stopping a wash,
sometimes with success, sometimes
with failure.
II the wash is a small one two or
three feet deep, it can be filled partly
full Of brush, then straw on top, then
by blowing, throwing the dirt on the
straw, then sowing rye and June grass
seed, and if the rye gets a good start
before another heavy rain it usually
holds.
If the wash is large one and grad
ually breaking off at the upper end,
1t Is harder to handle. We have tried
filling these with brush and straw,
but with little success; they keep
working back. breaking off as the
water works under the sod
Now we build dam with piow and
shovel across the ravine eight or ten
feet above the end of the ditch, leay.
ing a space in the middle for a fume
made of lumber SO tight that there
will be no leakage, eementing it at the
end so that no water works its way
outside, and long enough to extend six
or eight feet over the ditch, first set
ting long post in the ditch for the
end Of the flume to rest on, then fill
in with brush for the water to dis.
charge upon.
Another way we have tried with sue.
cess is to thrash a straw pile into the
head of the ditch, then make dam
around the head and down both sides,
seeding with rye and blue grass, in
this way dividing water and carrying
1t down on we'll sodded runway,
and by sowing rye and grass seed ON
the slope of the ditch it may be held
from getting any worse.
We have tried growing willows on
the bottom and sides of these washes
with but little success.
The farmer with billy land liable TO
wash should pillow and cultivate as
little as possible, keeping the land
in hay and permanent pasture, and
keeping more cows and more sheep
will keep the land from washing and
the farmer from bankruptcy.-(W. Z.
Bradley before Wisconsin Institute)
