Il wish could always look as cheer.

ling. as she dropped down beside the
attractive widow.
There are times when It Is embar.

you. When my husband died was
journeying alone to his home. where
he was to be buried. was much an.
noyed at the persistency with which
the man across the aisle attempted to
flirt with me. Finally he took seat
In front Of me and said. I beg pardon,
but l thought I'd like to talk with you
awhile. because you have such
cheerful expression
And there I'd been weeping my
eyes out for two days. So don't cult.

Organic Matter of Soils.

All cultivated soils and most vir-
gin soils contain plant and animals
remains. called organic matter.
When in the last stages OF decay
organic matter is called humus. HUI
mus is dark in color and imparts that
color to soil when present in suffi-
cicnt qualities.
Organic matter is very light ir
weight. When partially decayed. and
especially in the form. of .humus. il
has the power to absorb and hold
larger quantities of water than even
the finest clays.
Humus is more plastic (>ticky)
than sand, and less plastic than clay,
consequently il is very valuable in
binding together sandy soils and
loosening up clayey soils.
When organic matter decays. sub
stances called organic acids are pro-
duccd which act on the soil mineral
matter and help to make it soluble.
so that it is available to other plants.
The food material which the organic
matter contained is also broken down
to its original form. and much OF il
is again built up into plant tissue.
Organic matter is gotten into the
soil by crop rotation. by plowing
under green crops, by manuring and
by raising crops with extensive root
systems. When added to soils in
arid regions it should be well rottcd.
II is one OF the most important soil
constituents. The lack OF il in soil
is largely the cause of the decreased
yields under the single, continuous
cropping system.

Fruit and Poultry,


The fruit industry in Colorado ha
become one of the leading industric
and has probably given Colorado n
mneh rrnown as any output of tn,
state. There is no question but tha
the industry is destined to becom,
much greater in the future than it i
at present. So far. however, th,
iruit growing industry has been :
particularly specialized business. II
most OF the districts where fruit i
grown the grower dcvotes himscl
almost exclusively to fruit work.
l!iis is largely the opposite of tn,
work III the eastern states. In Mich
igan. for example. where genera
farming is the rule, each farm ha
Its iruit tract. composed of appl.
pear. cherry. plum. and. in most in
stances. the small fruits, such a
raspbcrrics, blackbcrrics, strawbcr
nes. etc.
There is large part of Coloradl
that is probably not adapted to com
mercial fruit growing. On the othc
hand there are very few places !:
the state where sufficient fruit 70
home use cannot be grown.
Poultry raising is becoming NOR,
and more popular. A large part o
the people. in the smaller towns par
ficularly, keep from a dozen to fift,
or one hundred hens. In most case
these arc allowed to run in pens o
in lot that is practically free iron
vegetation. Often. these poultry pen
are enclosed by high board fences o
buildings. These conditions Civ
the very best opportunities for grow
ing at least few fruit trees. to tn
mutual benefit of the grower and tb
poultry.
We have seen this combination i,
the East carried to point where tn
poultry took the place of sprayin.
for codling moth and other insect
of that character. The place in min,
was handled so that the poultry no
only disposed of all fallen fruit. bu
consumed so large a percentage O
the insects that the number O
wormy fruits was less than in man,
well sprayed orchards.
1t would seem to the writer tina
the city lot of ordinary dimensions

improved by planting the poultr,
yard to either the varieties of apple
adapted to the climate or to cI,crric
and plums. In some places pcache,
may be used. II this is to be done
the trees should be headed some
what higher than is usually done i,
Colorado orchard practice. For tn,
benefit of the poultry the groun,
should be occasionally worked owe,
and this is also of advantage to tn,
fruit trees. The droppings of tb,
birds will also provide the fcrtilit,
that trees in most places need. This
of course. may be carried to exces
where the poultry run is small. re
sulting in too vigorous wood growth
This. however. is not often the case
In fact. for the plains country. an,
places where the climate is not wei
adapted to fruit growing. il will b,
found that fine fruit may he grow
in this way where otherwise it wouIt
be practically useless to attempt frui
growing.

ZINE title for serial, isn't it And it is bet
ter than it sounds, as maker of epigrams
said of Wagners music, because, IN addition to
the provocative interest it is highly descriptive
The scene of Roy Norton's latest serial, which
begins in the next number of our SUNDAY MAGA-
ZINE. is Morocco, where the people make or
binary fatalists seem like apostles of free will
Also it is a country where many strange
things happen that only Fate stand the
responsibility for them.
ZINE title and a fine serial The moment you
are introduced to the Hon. Bob Marshall
you realize that things are bound to happen.
Just grasp the idea of man born and raised in
the free, frank life of the American plains in
Morocco, where people look upon lying as the
finest most admirable of all arts, and make in
trigue their chief industry.
THE HON. BOB is worth story in himself /;
but there are also his joyous daughter, an
American army officer. remarkable English
man who is boss of the Sultans army, and his
very interesting sister, to say nothing of one of
part in a story. He is not only beautiful but
highly capable, and one of the most willing
workers that ever lookup villainy as pro-
fession.
FROM the beginning you feel there is going to
be plenty of excitement The Garden of
Fate" is no calm and peaceful retreat, where
IT.. e.
up. It's boiling caldron. You know we are
very strong for serials with plenty of action
in them; SO you will eagerly await the next
instalment. Maybe you will persuade other
folk to read the story. We appreciate kind
nesses like that a lot. The more you talk about
the stories and articles in our SUNDAY MAGA-
ZINE, the MORE you help us to get out better
issues each week.

TORCHY AND THE MAIN STEM!" Truth
compels us to admit that it is not highly
