WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician. OF Portland. Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that We
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health. especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation 1 have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts.
and that find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases Of sick
ness and convalescence.
ut IS my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work.
In cases OF indigestion know that
a complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think 1t Is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. / also know the
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
This is written after an experience
OF more than 20 years, treating all
manner Of chronic and acute diseases.
and the letter is written voluntarily
on my part without any request for 1t. :"

PROBLEM OF SOIL MOISTURE

importance Of Water Not Very
Well unde

The Importance of water In the soil
has not been as well understood as 1t
should be- Common soil contains as
many as 40O.OO0,000 separate particles
to the ounce. and between all these
are Infinitely thin layers Of what the
modern soil doctor calls Aim water"
II is on this film water. not on the soil
itself. that plants feed. for 1t dissolves
from the earth particles Of food which
the plants require to keep them well.
The plants feed. too. on air-not only
the air above the surface Of the earth.
but that which permeates the minute
cracks between the earth particles.
Ninety per cent. of any crop taken on
a field comes. not from the soil OF that
field, but from the air above and In II.
Water, however, is the most important
medicine which the soil doctor knows.
says Campbell's Scientific Farmer.
The amount of water needed to grow
one ton OF common hay has been cal
culated to be sufficient to cover a one
acre field more than foot deep. For.
tunately for the farmer. even the
driest soil. when compressed. is dis
covered to contain more than half its
own weight OF Aim water. Too much
water in the soil is as bad ms too lit
tie, for II the soil is water-logged the
crop will get drowned" as surely as
n man can be drowned In any body of
water.

nation, but of the whole civilized
world to Miss Nightingale.
Surviving by all these years nearly
all of her Crimean contemporaries. she
has borne a fame which none Of them
surpassed, II indeed any Of them has
ever rivaled It. That war had the
advantage Of being cnronicied Dy one
Of the most engaging historians Of the
century. and celebrated In song by the
most popular poet of the period. II
developed at least three Of the most
splendidly heroic warriors which war
has produced in later days. and heroic
deeds which will never cease to appeal
to the. admiration of the human race;
but that great conflict was marked
with the most abominable horrors
which can characterize warfare. with
the most disgrsceful examples Of In
capacity and laundering In administra-
ton. and. worse than all. by what has
been called a sordid scoundrelism
which has greatly dimmed the luster
Of what some have called "the giori-
GUS war;" and the verdict of intelli-
gent observers and historians Is that
It was not any soldier Of Balaklava. or
Alma. or Sebastopoi that deserves to
stand first in renown. but the humble
chief nurse Of Scutari.
The work of Florence Nightingale
during that war was like the life Of
Daniel In Babyion-one In which not
even an enemy could md q fault. II
It was exceptionally benevolent in
motive. It was exceptionally ef-
fective In execution. She was de-
voted to her work as no Indian fakir
to his sacrifices. Yet she never de-
generated into a fanatic
She ventured to antagonize former
traditions and stubborn prejudices.
II has been well said Of her that she
set herself to overthrow the fetish Tt
can'tbe-done." and of the supersti-
tiously supposed inevitable. Her sue
cess was beyond words. though her
task was a stupendous one. She was
not only a missionary in the highest
sense to the sick and the wounded. but
she was a pioneer and q leader. She
left the way open on the part of all
that might follow her to a success like
to her own. Her work has been calm
ly and judiciously pronounced epochal.

IMPORTANCE OF THE HARROW
Many Benefits Derived by Use Of This
Implement Immediately After
Flowing Soil.

For many years now the writer has
advocated in public addresses. through
bulletins, correspondence. and other
wise. the advantages 10 be obtained
after spring blowing sy following the
pillow Immediately with harrow. We
fear that a great many farmers under
estimate the great Importance of con-
serving all of the moisture in the soil
that 1t is possible to retain there.
writes Lewis A. Merrill in Desert
Farmer. It is not only true with the
dry farmer, but is equally true with
the man who expects to use irrigation
water for maturing his crops. The
farmer who irrigates, should keep in
mind the desirabil,ty of using the
least amount of water with which he
can safely mature the maximum crop.
To accomplish this be should imme-
diately harrow his ground after plow-
ing 1t is desirable practice whom only
one team is engaged in the field to un-
hitch from the pillow sufficiently long
before the noon hour to harrow all OF
the ground that has been plowed dur
ing the forenoon. and the same prac-
tice should be observed in the after
noon. Unless one has made a study
of the action of soil moisture 1t Is
almost impossible to conceive of the
rapid loss of moisture from evapora-
ton from the soil where it is left un-
narrowed.
In conversation with a farmer he
complained that his soils were so dry
that in order to terminate the crop 1t
was necessary to irrigate the land.
The irrigation was followed by a dry
wind, the soil baked and dried out
very rapidly. and he felt that it would
be necessary to frrigate the ground
within a few days. This might all be
avoided II the blowing had been done
at the right time and the land har-
rowed Immediately after.
This question is not of such impor-
lance on land that is Flowed in the
fall; as a matter of fact. fall plowed
land should be left rough and unhar-
rowed during the winter. but in the
spring time Just as soon as the land
is sufficiently dry to permit OF the
use of harrow. 1t should be kept har-
rowed. This method retains the moist
ure. gives the proper filth. and is an
indication of proper soil culture.
