others gain, but all TOO frequently
ones loss Is another's disaster.
From study OF soils, IL becomes
clear that the key to the problem lies
IN the control Of the water which falls
on each acre. This waterfall Ii an
asset Of great possible value; saved II
turned where il will do good, lost If
permitted to run away, doubly lost If
| II carries away also soil that, on the
leverage in our domain, crops can use
to profit all the rainfall during the
growing season and much or all Of
that which can be carried over from
the non-growing seasons. This great
| ly simplifes the complex problem, for
the highest crop values will usually be
gained when the soil is made to abb
sorb the largest part OF the total rain
fall and snowfall. In securing this,
there will be the least run-of and sur
face wash. Obviously, then, the high
est solution Of the problem by the
tiller Of the soil essentially solves the
whole train Of problems.
How is this control to be effected?
All the known and tried methods Of
preventing wash and turning the
fall into the soil should be employed
TO the utmost. II Is obvious that all
methods OF culture and all crops that
increase the granularity and porosity
Of the soil contribute to the end
sought. Deep tilth to promote soil
granulation and deep roofing plants to
form root-tubes are specific modes OF
great value. Artificial and undcrdrain-
age by preventing water-logging and
promoting granulation aids the end
sought. Contour cultivation by ar
resting and distributing the surface
wash may also assist. Alternate
strips OF protected and cultivated land,
reservoirs for catching and distribut-
ing concentrated rainfall, and other
divides, serve to limit the wash Of the
slopes and give the surface waters
the right direction.
II is possible that some OF the more
radical and permanent remedies will
be found by closer study Of natures
methods. Nature has been working at
this complex problem OF balance be-
tween soil formation, soil waste, sur
face slope, plant growth, and stream
development for millions of years.
Looking closely at her methods we
note that she uses much larger va
riety Of plants to cover and protect
the soil than we do. These plants
have wider range of adaptation to
the special situations where protection
is needed. We may therefore inquire
whether we should not follow this
precedent further by developing more
kinds OF profitable plants and by
using the protective varieties more
freely on slopes especially subject to
wash. The present profitable forest
trees are a resource of this kind to be
employed to the utmost. We also
have many shrubs, vines and fruit
trees whose employment on wash
areas is urged, both alone and in con-

GENERAL CRAWFORD RETIREs
Was Made Brigadier General
Month Ago.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 27.-Brig-
adler General Crawford, who was ad-
Vanced to that rank to fill the va
cancy caused by the retirement of
Brigadier General Charles S. Smith
month ago, today retired from
active service, having reached the
age limit. At the time of his APP
pointment he ranked as eighth
on the list of Colonies, but he
was selected by the president be-
cause of the fact that he had no
civil war service and could not be
retired as a brigadier general unless
advanced to the grade before his re-
tirement. His last active duty was
as commandant at Fort WadswOrth,
N. Y, but for over year he has
been in Washington on leave of alb
sence. General Crawford was ap-
pointed to West Point military
academy from Oregon in 1868 and
was graduated in 1867.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Studying Soils.

1t can be laid down as q fact that
where we find hardwood trees -four
ishing the soil is rich and IN such a
section the climate is healthy. Such
small grains as wheat and oats will
yield good crops in the land where the
sugar maple, the beech and the white
and black oaks grow.
A wet soil is indicated where we find
willows, poplars, birch, red maple,
black ash and elms. BY drainage such
land Is often made available for farm
purposes, but it is better for grass than
either grain or fruits
We find strong, rich soil, hard to
work, but of great fertility when once
brought under cultivation, where the
hickories, buckeyes and black walnut
grow.
The chestnut thrives best in a light,
thin soil, a soil adapted to the growth
of corn, rye, vegetables and small
fruits, but which, unless strongly fer
tilted, cannot grow good crops Of
wheat or oats or the general fruit
trees.-Philadelphia Record.

Profitable Hoo Breeds.

Experience will determine each mans
preference. If a hog is wanted that
will attain to great size, is quiet-in
fact rather lazy and sluggish-that will
fatten readily at any age and make
good use Of the feed given him, the
Poland-ChiDa or the Chester White will
fll the bill, writes j. Al Doble in the
National Stockman and Farmer. But
the Poland China is prone to small lit
ters, and the Chester White is prone to
skin diseases in winter unless well
housed and clean bedded
1 have raised hundreds by crossing
the Chester female to the Poland Chi
ma male, and the combination is very
hard to beat Some strains of the
Duroc-Jerseys approached nearer to
perfection than any have ever tried
and some approached too nearly to the
old woods hog. A cross between the
Poland-China male and Duroc female
is the best all round pork producer l
have ever tried.

MYSTERIOUS MRS. EDDY
Moves Under Guard to Boston Sub.
urbs.

BOSTON, Jan. 27.-Guarded by
the utmost secrecy, Mrs. Mary Bak-
er G. Eddy, founder and head of the
Christian Science church, was re-
moved by special train yesterday
with all her household attendants
from Pleasant View, in Concord, N.
H., where she has lived for 10 years,
to a new house in the fashionable
Chestnut Hill section of Blookline.
The coming was unheralded, and
only few members of the Christian
Science church had been aware of
the contemplated change.
Even the train crew, which early
took the private car to Concord,
were commanded to maintain abso-
lutte secrecy as to the trip they were
to make, and the best men in the
service of the road were assigned to
the duty.
Preceded by pilot engine to clear
the way, the special train of three
cars left Concord at 2 O'Clock and
proceeded over three railroads by a
clrcultous route to the Chestnut
Hill station, on the Boston & Albany
railroad. In the rear of the train,
to guard against collision, trailed a
third engine.

Fodder For EowIn.

Fowls need great deal of fodder in
winter to neutralize the concentrated
feed. One hundred hens win eat five
pounds of clover leaves daily besides
their regular grain ration, and the
clover Is very nutritious food as well
as supplying bulk. Often cut rowen
hay will answer fairly well as a sub
stitute, and If neither clover nor rowen
Is at hand the ehaff from the barn
floor will supply great deal of fod-
der as we'll as serving as scratching
litter. The Maine station found that
Tor 100 hens five pounds of clover
leaves took the place of seventeen
pounds Of beets, and the hens were
kept healthy and thrifty.

MOSCOW. Jan. 27.-The first
game between the Whitman and Uni

Whitman. Idaho outplayed her OPP
ponents in the first half, with better
blocking and basket or two on
long throws. In the second half
Whitman played a stronger game
and a series of fouls for holding
called on Idaho enabled her to build
up the heavy score that gave her
the game.

WiNSLOW. WINS SLOW

That the ball team of Winslow wins (slow but sure) was drmon- strated here Sunday when the Willia ms team went down and out under the slow but sure process nf the bunch from Winslow.
 The home product took the lead in the very first inning. shutting out the Win-slows and showing ore wearer of the gray fab bric across the plate in their half "f the first, thus drawing the first blood. In the next inning, however, the Win slows quicked their pace a particle and eked out two runs. Still the local weilders of the club were not alarmed. and famed the dim atmosphere with their clubs as if they knew not what a base ball bat was made for. In the initial half of the third the Winslows, encour- aged by the fact that they were one score to the good got down to dead run, and with the aid of provi- dence, a bunch of errors on the part of the locals, and long foul fly, accumulated four runs. Then the locals came to themselves, and for the next three innings allowed the Winslows to score but one, while they hammered out six runs, thus tieing the score. During the next three innings the locals drew three blanks, while the Winslows an nexed one score each inning, giving them victory by three scoras. Then it was all over but the cheering of the rooters from the railroad city. who rubbed it in" to the queens taste.
 The Williams team played a good game, and but for a number Ol IOI tO StOSc carelessness, would probably have won the game. The Winslow hoys are a gentlemanly set, and are good ball players.
