and Would accept none. Therefore, al
though she was called the housekcep-
er, she stood on an equal social footing
with Mr.. Powell and his daughter, who
were under an obligation to her from
the time she entered the house.
Helen Powell was a childlike girl.
very amiable, by no means aggressive
and easily upset by Il misunderstood
ing with any one. Those who knew
her best assigned this as the cause Of
her remaining away from her desolate
father, thus throwing his care upon
Miss Willard. On this account they
excused her, but the outer world did
not excuse her. She was looked upon
as a very unnatural child of a suffer-
ing parent.
Miss Willard refrained from any
comment upon Helen's actions, but
when pressed for an explanation would
say: Helen is perfectly excusable.
Her absence is nc fault of her or her
father. Devoted to the memory of his
wife, he broods constantly over her
loss. How can such a household be a
place for a young girl just budding
into womanhood?"
Helen was fond of society, and this
was excellent proof of Miss Wizards
explanation. 1t tended to separate the
former more and more from the best
people Of Deerfeld and drew the latter
closer to them. Mr.. Snively, minis
ter of the principal church in the town,
preached a sermon on the text, "The
greatest of these is charity" instanc-
ing a case of a noble woman who was
giving up her life without hope of re-
ward to the care of an old person,
while n who should be near and
dear to him was spending her time in
the worship Of Mammon. Every one
in the congregation recognized in these
persons Mr.. Powell, his daughter and
Miss Willard.
There are always carpers, and in this
case they averred that Mr.. Powell
possessed a little money, and, being
an old man, Miss Willard was looking
forward to it's Inheritance. One of
her intimate friends. hearing of this
slanderous statement, repeated it to
Miss Willard. The lady replied that
if anything could induce her to leave
the poor old man to his fate this un-
just charge would. She declared that
she possessed ar independent income
of her own, whereas Mr.. Powell did
not give her, enough to run the house
and that she was frequently obliged
to make up deficiencies from her w
purse.
Then why do you submit to such
injustice" asked the intimate friend.
why do you not force that inhuman
girl to come and bear this burden,
which belongs to her and not to you?"
81 promised Mrs. Powell before her
death that l would take care of her
husband"
A number of ladies Of Deerfeld were
one day drinking afternoon tea togeth-
er when the subject Of Miss Wizards
sacrifice came up. Not only were en-
comiums passed upon Miss Willard,
but vituperations heaped upon the IN.

The case of Helen Powell turning
her poor old widowed father over to
the care Of his housekeeper, Miss Will
lard, a woman of thirty-fve, puzzled
the social world of Deerfield. The wife
and mother died when Helen was six
teen years old, and Miss Willard nat
urally assumed, or, rather, continued to
administer, the household affairs. In
deed, she had been during Mrs. Pow
ellis illness Indispensable. A few
months after her mothers death Helen
went to boarding school and remained
there for three years except during va
cations, when she visited some one of
her schoolmates.
Miss Wizards entrance to the Pow
ell household occurred when Mrs. Pow
ell was taken i'll. Some one was need
ed, and Miss Willard, who was a social
acquaintance Of the Powells, volun-
teered. Her offer was considered by
her friends TO be one of self abnega-
ton, for she needed no compensation

uuC0 d. crop. 70
Flowing under a green crop does
not produce as beneficial results as
come from blowing grass lands. Plow-
ing under a green crop leaves the or
ganic matter in a mass and not uni
formly distributed throughout the
soil.
After grass in a crop rotation, the
soil shows a large increase in amount
of organic matter but less than two
thirds as much as is found in adjoins
ing fields Of native prairie soil.
Soils filled with a mass of grass
roots furnish, in all parts of the soil,
a uniform supply of organic matter,
which by gradual decay, furnishes the
soil humus. This humus, reacting up
on the mineral constituents of the
soil, seems to aid in liberating and
rendering available this plant food.
Newly broken soils do not blow. 1t
is only after they have been cropped
for a series of years, that soils begin
to blow badly.
The great mass of fine ROOFS inter-
twined about the particles OF soil il
the virgin prairie prevented the soil
from blowing. This mass OF roots
acted as pins to hold the soil in place.
The decay of these roots removes the
binding agents and permits of blow
ing. This is quite common on lands
not we'll cultivated and in wheat con
tinuously.
Adopting a system of rotation which
includes grass, will prevent the blow
ing by again returning to the soil the
binding agents, the hne grass roots
which serve as pins to hold the soil
particles in place.
Bronze grass seems to put the soil
more nearly in the condition of ma
tive prairie than timothy. while clover
acts as a nitrogen gatherer to replace
the legumes, common on virgin soil.
The system of agriculture most
nearly ideal for maintaining soil fer
tility would be one with two years in
grass followed by cultivated crop than

Later Rev. Mr.. Snively called upon
her to apologize for his mistake con-
corning her, and she showed him a
package Of letters that had passed Sc
cretly between her and her father,
showing how a Woman Of domineering
will and possessing a secret to the old
mans apparent discredit had first got

make him marry her; how she succeed

from the middle Of the street into rows
along the cutters. partly to keep the
oil from flowing into the cutters and
partly that the dirt may be later used
to spread yer the asphalt. Then the
oil is applied. about one-half gallon per
square yard being used. This is gen
orally applied with an oil wagon built
especially for the purpose. although oil
sprinkling attachments can be put on
some water sprinklers.
The oil is permitted to penetrate into
the macadam surface for some time.
and then the dust is swepr back over

open to use. and travel soon makes the
surface smooth and gives it the ap-
pearance of asphalt. The cost of
treatment is about A cents per square

treatment is good for two or three sea.
sons. depending upon the amount and
character OF travel and traffic.
The quantity of oil placed upon a
street or highway is determined by
the amount which will be completely
absorbed by the top dressing. which
becomes plastic and forms the binder
for the surface. In California It Ia
customary to cover the road or street
with q coating OF dust or sand before
applying the OIL. but II requires more
oil TO bind such surface coating and
prevent It being ground up by traffic.

ROTATE THE CROPS.
BY e. F. Laid, North Dakota
State Chemist.

T !. !. j. !. !. !. !. i. !. :. !. i. :. !. !. !.
If you would keep the soils in the
best chemical and physical condition,
there must be practiced such a sys-
tenn of rotation that there shall be in
cluded in the rotation humus produc-
ing and humus consuming crops.
Two humus producing, to three hui
mus consuming crops should, with
proper cultivation, maintain the soil
in it's highest state of productivity.
Soils fertile by nature, such as the
Red River valley soil, should, under
a system of agriculture, as indicated
above, yield good crops, without the
aid of commercial fertilizers for a
thousand years. This ssumes the
proper use of all barn And
the prevention of unnecessary loss
from the soil.
A proper system of crop rotation
should result in enriching the surface
soil with plant food rather than i.
depicting it, and especially should
this be true for nitrogen and humus.
The first foot of soil in the Red
River valley contains enough plant
food for at least 1,4OO maximum crops,
without drawing upon the supply Of
food material in the second foot or
below
The continuous growing of wheat, or
other grains, or cultivated crop, rapid
ly depletes the organic matter from
the second six inches of soil.
The growing of clover and peas in
a crop rotation causes a marked in.
creas in the organic matter and hui
mus in the soil, in both the first and
second six inches. These plants are
also nitrogen accumulators.
Land in crop rotation on which corn
was grown in 1899, and wheat was
grown in 1900, showed more than
twice AS much water in the first six
inches, on July 18th, as found in soil
continuously in wheat. In the second
six inches there was SO per cent more
water. The yield Of wheat was more
than seven times as great.
On July IA the field on which corn
had been grown the preceding year,
contained 80 per cent more nitrates
than for the continuous wheat field.
On July 80, the difference was even
more marked, being 81 per cent more
of nitrates.
Nitrifying bacteria in bare summer
fallow we're not found in the soil be-
low two feet; probably not below
eighteen inches.
Nitrates were found in greater
abundance at a depth of seven feet
than at a depth of one foot.
For every pound of nitrogen re-
moved from the soil by wheat, we
have lost from four to six pounds by
other ways, where wheat has been
grown continuously.
Soils on which wheat has been
grown continuously since 1883, are
found to be in bad condition, chem
ically and physically. They do not
retain water well in the cultivated
portion, and failed to mature a crop
of wheat in the dry season of 1900.
The available plant food and the
principal feeding ground of the wheat
roots seems to be in the first eight
inches of soil.
