FILL bitches AND GULLIES
Stones Are About Best Material for
Filling REPRESENTATIVES, Is Per-
mitted to Drain Through.

By r. I. THROCKMORTON, Kansas
Experiment Station)
The little bitches and gullies that
form on rolling farms grow rapidly if
neglected, and deep channels with
steep sides result. BY stopping the
flow of the water in these small
streamlets with such material as straw,
brush and stones, they can be made
gradually to fill themselves. Such OBJ
structions cause the soil to be deposit
ed and the ditch will be filed up back
of the barrier. If measures are not
taken to prevent the small depressions
on a slope from growing, they rapidly
enlarge in three directions, becoming
deeper, wider and longer.
The best way to stop up small
bitches and make them fill up is to
make dam of stones. Stones are
about the pest material for this pur-
pose, because they collect the sedi-
ment and at the same time let the wa
ter drain through, and water hole
is not formed.
When a ditch is very shallow, only
a few inches deep, a board held in
place with stakes is often sufficient
to stop further erosion. Straw is also
very good for these shallow bitches.
1t is very effective in catching the
soil, but is sometimes washed out by
a hard rain. Cornstalks are even bet
ter than straw. Brush can be used.
too, but is hardly dense enough when
used alone. Straw and brush together
are better than either alone. If ce-
ment dams are built, some way must
be provided for the water to get
through, or else a pond win be formed.
Cement dams are really not worth the
extra cost.

you that your little selfish strivings,

and jealousies, that make up so large
a part OF your daily living and your
nightly worrying, are of no more
worth TO the world or you than are
the nameless little gnats that so fool.

AS eggs are highest in price from
October to January, it is important
that the fowls be given extra atten-
ton in fall and winter so they will
produce the most eggs during this
period. On stormy days the fowls
should be kept in the house. They
should be fed three times a day, in
the morning, at noon and late in the
