expedition, it has just leaked out, is
being modified for dispatch to
North Africa. Following so soon
after the departure of what was on
sidered an ample force to seize and
hold the country, the call for re-en-
forcements can only mean that the
earlier expeditions are in grave
trouble.

up a stubborn resistance. Details

Daniel w. Clayton.
tcontinued from paxe i.i


the family to take up the manage
ment of the farm, and rather than
see 1t pass to strangers, he gave a;p
his business and returned to mis-
first occupation. And the SOUND
principles that made him successful
In business have been applied With
equal success on his farm.
His qualities were not long UNI
perceived by his neighbors. Early
In his Prospect Plains career he was
called upon to take up the care OF
the public schools. When each school
had Its own district, he YVES a mem-
Der OF the board OF three trustees OF
the Prospect Plains School, Later
when each township was made a
district with all the schools under
board, he was elected to the first
board chosen In Monroe township.
He was clerk Of both boards and
served In that capacity until he be-
came deputy surrogate. He has been
keenly interested In educational
work and has been foremost In every
movement that looked to the better
ment of school conditions In Middle
sex county. He was one of the foun-
ders of the Middlesex county school
board association and has been its
treasurer since Its organization.
For several years he was clerk Of
the Board of Freeholders. and 1t
was then that his qualities OF tnteg-
rity and application we're brought
prominently before the people of the
entire county, az they already We're
In his own community. And when
Peter f. DAILY was elected Surrogate
In 1902 it was generally recognized
that he made no mistake In choosing
Mr.. Clayton as his aide.
These nine years that he has spent
In the Surrogate's office have been
nine years OF hard work. In that
time Mr.. Clayton has not taken SO
much as a weeks vacation Every
day, except under the most excep-
tional circumstances, has seen him
at his desk.
There Is no detail of the work
which he has not mastered, or that
he is not much more competent to
administer than any newcomer could
be. His long training In the work
has pre-eminently fitted him for the
chief post OF the Office.
But this Is not sill that has hap
pened. MIR. Clayton brought to his
work a kindly and courteous dis
position and q world Of patience;
qualities as rare MS they are admir-
able. The Surrogatess office Is as
neatly . sacred place as a mortal tn.
stitntion een be, for there IL con-
Quoted the business OF the dead. It
hears, of necessity, OF many fam
lily tragedies, sometimes unfortunate
G~uarrels, and always OF suffering and
broken hearts. Nowhere to there
more needed the exercise OF true
patient Judgment and
willing advice.
And thus 1t is that those who Are
lSs supporters OF mr. uiay~I
ton today are those WHO have been
brought into contact with him In the
pursuance or his Official duties.
There ID not ona, whose burden was
not made lighter In time OF tribu1a-
ton by reason OF hts snorta, which
have always been far tn excess Of
what was strictly demanded OF him.

PREVENTION OF
SOIL WASHING
When bitches Are Small They
May be Filled with Rubbish
to Check the Current
of Water.
tBy ]. G. MosIA.)

When soils are likely to wash. an
ounce of prevention Is worth many
pounds OF cure. The best remedy Is
a preventive one. This applies es-
pecially to the formation Of gullies on
hillsides by which farm may be
completely ruined In a very few years.
When these bitches are small they
may be filed with rubbish that will
check the current of water and cause
the sediment to be deposited there.
which will result In the filling OF the
ditch
The general washing that takes
place from the surface Of all hilly
and even slightly rolling land shoald
be looked after as well.
This washing removes the best soil
and lowers the productive capacity OF
very large areas OF land. Much Of
this was not Of the best to begin with,
and the removal OF the thin top soil
has rendered many tracts almost
worthless
Silt and clay soils are much more
liable to wash than sandy ones. be-
cause the particles are smaller. con.
sequently more easily carried by
water; and. as these soils do not alb.
sorb the rainfall readily. because the
pores are small, SO there is more
water to run off.
While It is impossible to change the
inorganic constituents Of soils to any
appreciable extent. yet they may he
treated In such way as to change
the texture in few years.
This may be done by incorporating
organic matter In them. The partial.
ly decayed material cements the soil
particles into graules or grains. CIV.
Ing 1t somewhat the porosity and
looseness Of sandy soil
The granules thus formed are TOO
large 10 be carried readily. When In
this condition. water will be absorbed
rapidly, and II deep plowing Is prac.
ticed. the ground will be in condition
to absorb heavy rainfall.
1t is estimated that ten inches Of
loose soil will absorb two inches OF
rainfall, A large supply Of organic
matter should be maintained. II pos.
sible. by growing legumes and cover
crops
In TACT soil that Is liable 10 wash
badly should never pass through the
winter without cover crop The
roots will hold the soil particles to,

surface currents from forming.

lowed to dry out before the floor is
nailed in place. The writer is aware
that some builders say that 1t is the
proper thing to nail down the floor at
once. but our experience is that where
this is done, the moisture will swell
the floor, and when the concrete Is
finally dry, the floor will shrink to Its
natural size. which always leaves
cracks in the floor. And II there is
any advantage at all in laying the
floor while the concrete is green. we
have never yet learned what 1t is.
While 1t is intended to fill the bins
from the hail. the same may be used
for storing grain in bags, when the
bins are full. The floor OF the hall

wet weather, more or less damp. 1t
is sometimes necessary to leave a
load Of grain standing over night and
a. sudden rain will sometimes hit us
with load Of grain. in such cases the
driveway will be found very handy.
