SOIL TEXTURE AND MOISTURE
Composed Of Combination OF
Sand. Silt and Clay.

GAMES d. MARSHALL. Colorado
College,
The term texture when applied to
the soil refers to the size OF the soil
particles. Generally speaking there
are three main classes OF soil based on
texture, sand, silt and clay, and all
productive soils are, as rule, com
posed OF combinations OF the above
classes.
The amount OF movement and the
rate OF movement of soil moisture are
governed to quite an extent by tex
ture. In sand we find that the action
is rapid but lasts but a short time. On
the other hand, the movement in clay
Is very slow. but the water travels
through much greater distance. In
soils OF medium texture the action is
intermediate throughout. In the aver
age soil. movement Of water is con-
fined to q few feet. but In some of the
fine textured soils 1t may travel . con
siderable distance.

No Menace in Sanatorium.

DR.. Edward l.. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in
the United States in 1885, says:
When ! bought the first land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sanato-
rum Is built, paid $25 an acre for 1t,
but the price was then thought abb
surdly high. My last purchase of Ave
acres cost me $1,000. 70 my knowl-
edge, there has never been an employe
who came to the sanatorium in sound
health who developed tuberculosis
while there; and sanatorium can no
more endanger the health of the neigh
borhood In which it is built, even IL
the residences are at its very gates,
than 1t could If it were placed on top
OF a high mountain miles away from
habitation."

HAD HIM ALL RIGHT, BUT
Il Was a Question Whether Hunter

A party OF choice spirits from the
Mount Ephraim section, where col
ored folk reside, had gone into the
river bottom well provided with coon
dawgs. 1t was not long before a trail
was struck and soon after that the
quarry was freed. The next move
naturally was to climb the tree, so as
to shake down the varmint-coon or

tree. 1t was night time, of course,
and Lemon swarming up was able to
distinguish dimly the figure of an ami

large limb branched out. The fore
feet embraced the trunk, and Lemon
was on the other side from the crotch
He grabbed the forelegs and held on
so that the creature could neither
escape nor hurt him.
But there proceedings stopped. The
rash hunter was afraid to let go. the
men on the ground were shouting
