PREVENTION OF
 SOIL WASHING
When Ditches Are Small They May be Filled with Rubbaoh to Cheek the Current
 of Water.
6By J. c. MosIA)

When soils are likely to wash, an ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure The best remedy is preventive one. This applies es- pecially to the formation of gullies on hillsides by which a farm may be completely ruined in very few years.
 When these ditches are small they may be filled 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 hiily and even slightly rolling land should be looked after as well.
 This washing removes the hest soil ard 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 ab- sorb the rsiHfaii readily. because the pores are >sfna,1. so there is more water to run off
 While 1t Is impossible to change the inorganic constituents of soils to any nppreciable extent, yet they may be 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. giv- ing 1t somewhat the porosity and looseness of a sandy soil.
 The granules thus formed are too large to be carried readily When in this condition. water will be absorbed rapidly, and If deep blowing is prae- ticed the ground will be In condition to absorb heavy rainfall.
 It Is estimated that ten inches of loose soil will absorb two inches of rainfall. A large supply of organic matter should be maintained. if pos sshle by growing legumes and cover crops.
 act a soil that Is liable 70 wash badly should never pass through the winter without cover crop. Tho reos. will ho q the soil particles to. 2 e and the top will prevent raDt1
 co currents from forming

About tha Putterer.

The art of puttering consists of d0 ing for yourself slowly and inefficients ly what you can pay some one else to do for you quickly and well. is hard work that you do not have ta do. strenuous loaflng that invites the soul.
 The putterer works in pure lovA and If the produce prove poor thina 1t is at least his own. To be perfect putterer is to achieve liberal edn cation.
 Puttering is tonic relaxation from the mechanical efficiency of our pro fessional selves. corrective of the extreme specialization that otherwise would result in our becoming all foos or hand or head. The putterer makei laws and breaks laws and breaks the laws he makes. He produces startling variations from type. An inspired fool, he Is true creator.--From tht Atlantic.

MANURE GOOD
 FOR FLOWERS
Rose Bush ia Tremendous Feeder of Rich Soil - Should be Given Additional
 Leaf Mould.
tBy MyRLE TYLER IRoNso

A correspondent asks If manure will harm rose bushes2' adding that one of her nelghbors told her that 1t would prevent them from Towering.
 We never heard or such thing before. It Is fact, however, that in some parts of the country there are people who still believe that manure will poison the soil for farm crops, and doubtless this idea has spread to rose bushes.
 Nothing was ever more absurd. Rose bushes are tremendous feeders of rich soil and it should always be composed Of welIrotted manure be. sides additional reaf mold and the entire soil should be of the richest character.
 A heavy loam or clay and gravel, well drained. are suitable soils for rose bushes. 4 trench at least three feet deep should be dug and filled with post and well worked up before the roses are planted
 After the plants have become well started they should still receive manure and this should be applied every spring in liberal quantities.
 Do not be afraid of giving your rose bushes a soil too rich. The richer 1t is the more vigorous will be the growth of your plants and the more beautiful will the color of your flowers be
