makes out a good case for cheese. It
should be helpful to those who fol
any reason wish to use cheese in
greater quantities in their diet. Since
it shows, on the basis of many ex'

WHAT THE CRAZE FOR VARIETY
COSTS.

Mrs. Ellen H. Richards of Boston
has lived on the same spot for IS
years. In that time cost of living
has doubled. What is the reason?
Mrs. Richards says:
"1t's the craze for variety. The
postman used to come twice a day;
now he comes five times. The tele-
phone not only costs $50 year, but
doubles the orders at the grocer's
and, of course, the grocer's bill.
Hardwood floors mean twice the
work of carpets. Theatres and pic
ture shows take time and money. The
cost Of guests is double-we have six
courses instead of three, with expen-
sive desserts. The old way was good
enough, but we haven't the moral
courage to follow it in face Of the
common practice.
What do We gain by it? Are we
happier, wiser or better in any
way?" Her conclusion is that "the
determining principle in fixing the
standard of life should be the dis
covery of the minimum needed to
maintain full efficiency"
A nationwide society Of middle
class housekeepers which should
adopt the principle suggested by
Mrs. Richards would probably cut the
cost Of living in two, and who would
suffer?
The butcher, the baker and the
candle-stick maker, perhaps.

TO STOP LAND FROM WASHING

We must stop the washing of oul
lands-not only the great deVourln&
gullies which bite away whole acres
| Of cultivated land and leave barrer
wastes in it's place, but also the lit
tie often unnoticed channels down
! which the water runs, carrying witt
| it the best part of the soil. 1t is
no easy task, as anyone who has
tried it knows. Perhaps soil-wash
ing will never be entirely stopped
but We must at least reduce it tt
such point that our hill lands vii
get better instead of poorer.
Many lands could be saved from
washing simply by judici0us rota
ton of crops with decent blowing
and winter cover. To crop any
land at all rolling year after year, I'm
til the soil is robbed Of all yegeta.
bic matter and become dead and life
less, is to invite gullies. Terraces
will solve the problem in many
cases-not weed-grown banks and ug'
ly bitches, but low broad swells of
earth, or real terraces one above an
other.
The hillside ditch may be neces-
sary in some cases. Tile drainage
will yet solve the problem for thous-
ands Of acres, the writer feels GER
tain. Other thousands which men
are now trying to tend will have to
be put into grass or replanted to
forest trees. Indeed, when land can
not be held in place by deep plough
ing, cover crops, the Mangum terrace
and proper cultivation, or by good I'M
der drainage, it ought not to be cul-
tiVated at all.
On land that is now being cult
waited, attention to a few points will
do much to prevent or to lessen the
damage from surface water. Here are
four of them:
l. Rows should be laid off with
the contour of the land, and not up
and down the hills.
2. Cultivation should be level
that is, there should not be ridges
made to catch and hold the water IN
til it gathers sufficient volume to
break through and start wash.
8. When gulley is started, no
matter how small, it should be stop
ped at once. Just as soon as the
ground dries after a hard rain put
the cultiVators to work and fill up
the little bitches. If any are too
large for this,or if any start in places
where the cultivator will not do the
work, fiji Them at once with manure,
straw, leaves, nay sort Of litter.
4. If there is a natural depression
down which the water must run, seed
it down with redtop, or plant it to
Bermuda, and leave it unbroken. II
nothing else, scatter cane seed thick
ly along it.
