CambIino For Maids.

"Many queer reasons are advanced
by servant girls for losing a place"
said the manager of the employment
bureau, 'but the queerest l have ever
heard was given by girl who blew
in here last week. Her late mistress
was a bridge fiend. One day FOR the
want of money to bet she and her
friends played with their maids for
stakes. At the end of the game each
woman considered herself in honor
bound to stick to her agreement, and
an attempt was really made to swap
servants according to the ups and
downs of the game. Some of the girls
thus raffied off changed places willing
ly enough, but that client of mine re

comes Wien sudden dry period roi-
lows few weeks of excessive rain
fall The abundance of moisture dur
ing the early part Of the season has
kept the plants from sending their
roots down very deep. When dry
weather does come, the soil bakes and
cracks and evaporation goes on very
rapidly. This, together with the de-
mands made by the plants, lowers the
water table so rapidly that root growth
cannot keep pace with 1t. AS result
the capillary moisture within reach OF
the roots is not replaced as fast as 1t
is used, and the growth Of the plants
is seriously checked.
Fields with clay subsoil withstand
dry weather much better than those
with a subsoil of sand or gravel. The
latter, because of their 1ooser texture,

only one Of Its minor uses,
however. In addition to the water
which Is decomposed by the plant and
used In making starch and other prod
ucts, many times as much is used for
other purposes. One Of the principal
Of these Is dissolving plant food and
carrying 1t upward to the leaves. Aft
er reaching the leaves most of the wa
ter is evaporated, leaving In the leaf
cells the materials which II brought
up.
The cells of which the leaves are
made q}sd1 a. are very DELICATE and depend for
contain. Without this water they
would collapse In the same way a BIZ
cycle tire does when the air is let out.
This Is the very thing that happens
when the leaves wilt. The rise of
water from the roots has been checked
In some way. and as evaporation still
continues the leaf cells become partly
emptied and shrink up.
The leaves are not entirely helpless
at such time, however. On each side
of the tiny pores on the underside Of
the leaf is cell known as guard
cell. When the supply of moisture
begins to fail, these guard cells shrink
up and In doing so close the openings
thus checking evaporation. In some
plants, like corn, the leaves curl up at
such a time thus still further lessen
ing the rate OF evaporation. OF course
when leaf is wilted IN this manner
the work Of building up plant tissues
Is seriously checked. This often hap
pens during the dry weather of July
and August, when the soil becomes so
dry that the roots have difficulty IN
obtaining the needed moisture. The
checking Of development which results
often reduces the yield OF corn as
much as twenty to thirty bushels per
acre and that Of other crops In pro
portion. For every pound Of dry
matter In a mature plant from 300 to
500 pounds of water have been brought
up by the roots and evaporated from
the leaves. One of the most impor
tant factors in the production Of 9
maximum crop is the maintenance OF
plentiful water supply within easy
reach Of the roots.
There are three classes Of water II
the soil The first is known as grounC
water and is that water which col
lects in a hole dug In wet soil Of
runs off through the tile In drained
land. The second is the capillary
water and is that which is left be

soil becomes saturated, however, SO
that the water is no longer moving,
the air soon becomes used up, and the
crop will turn yellow and cease to
grow. The remedy, of course, Is to
provide drains TO remove the ground
water quickly.
The only kind of water which the
roots can use is the capillary water.
When this is present in the right
amount, 1t fills about half OF the
spaces between the soil particles. The
the rest are filed with air. The water
easily dissolves plant food from the
soil grains which it surrounds. Thus
