pitiful package or bundle or box is

mot every one understands how
inf1ammable and explosive chlorate Of

peculiar manner. He was carrying
chlorate of potash tablets in a small
bottle in his coat pocket; the cork
presumably became loOsened and fell
out. Entering street car, he knocked
the ashes from his pipe, as he sup
posed, and put it in his pocket. In
a few moments there were Spurts of
blue flame, and the tablets went Off

nerves and those of the passengers,
the only damage was to his clothes,

Bedouin Rards.

The descriptive power and fidelity
Of Arabic poetry in setting forth both
the life of the people and the scenery
of the cline are remarkable. 1t con-
lures up visions of tawny brows, flow

bans. paving chargers, and patient
dromedaries. We seem to be there.
1t is the land of the date tree and

torch through the night to win the
wanderer to be a guest. The very

all this is in the lyrics of the Bedouin

broad, shallow sheet at a low ycloc-
ity. 1t has been found that average
soils are, not washed much in broad
terrace channels where the fall does
not exceed 6 inches in 100 feet and
1t Is recommended that this fall never
be exceeded. However, even with this
fall some washing occurs and some
rich soil particles are carried off the
held. Hence a graded terrace should
be given no more fall than is neces-
Sary to remove the run-off water with
out danger of the terrace being over
topped. The terraces may be laid out
with a uniform or a variable fall The
best results are obtained where the
variable fall is used, since it tends to
prevent the concentration of the wa
ter at the lower end of the terrace.
Also less washing occurs where the
variable fall is used.
The provision for suitable outlets
is one of the biggest problems in ter
racing work. Natural water courses
make the best outlets. Sometimes it
use as outlets. Where natural draws,
gullies, or roadside bitches are used
they should be protected from erosion
by building across them brush, con-
crete, stop-plank,. or soil-saving dams.
The growing of grass in draws used
for outlets is especially recommended.
The work of laying off terraces
should be done carefully, preferably
by an experienced man. The best in
struments are the farmers small tele-
scopic level and the engineers large
level.
The plow and the V drag are most
generally used for building up ter
races. Other implements sometimes
used are the steel ditcher or terracer,
the slip scraper, the disk pillow, and
the road grader. At crossings of
draws and gullies the slip scraper is
used to build up the high terrace en-
bankment. 1t is very important that
the top of the terrace be built to the
proper grade. The upper terraces of
field should always be built first.
Care and Attention.
Terraces require considerable care
and attention, particularly during the
first year after they are built. They
should be inspected after every heavy
rain and any breaks or weak places
repaired Immediately. The best re-
suits are obtained when the crop rows
are run parallel to the terraces.
In order to maintain the height and
width of the terrace, a cultivated ter
race should be plowed at least once
each year, and the soil should be
thrown to the center of the terrace.

WHAT THE WORLD WAR COST
Ability to Meet 1t Consists in coun-
try's Productive Power Exercised
to the Limit.

The ultimate factor in war finance
is not the dollar, but what the dollar
can buy-at the moment when 1t is
necessary to use it. The economic
burden of a war is not borne by capt.
tai, that is, the stored-up savings in
vested in railroads, factories and
banks, but by the productive power of
the country, engaged in unproductive
consumption. For war is waste, OBJ

When estimating the financial abil-
ity of nation to make war a consid-
Grafton of her wealth does not tell the
story, just as a consideration of popu-
lation, which would give Russia the
first place, would be altogether false.
1t is the ability nation has to master
and mobilize her dollars and send
them into the trenches and make them
fight, that reveals her financial power
as a military nation. Germany, with
her long preparation, her autocratic
government machinery, was able TO
conscript all production for war pur-
poses, and mass her economic strength
almost as speedily as she massed her
fighting men.

this fallacy is akin to the common one
of mistaking dollars Tor wealth.

Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile land. Bottom as well as hill
lands suffer from the ravages of ero-
sion.
+ Terracing is the most effective
method of stopping erosion. Other
means of reducing erosion that should
be employed in connection with ter
racing are deep blowing, growing
cover crops, blowing under organic
matte- contour blowing, and under
draining.
There are two distinct types of fer
races, the bench terrace and the ridge
terrace. The bench terrace is particu-
larly fitted for use on steep slopes,
while the ridge terrace is especially
adapted for use on moderate slopes.
The ridge terraces are divided into
two classes, the narrow base and the
broad base. Both may be laid out
level or with a fall along the terrace
to carry the water off at low veloc-
cultivated and can be crossed readily
by large farm machinery without in
jury to the terrace. The narrow-baSe
terrace does not possess either of
these advantages, and under ordinary
circumstances is less desirable than
the brOad-base type. However, when
laid out level it Is sometimes cult
waited successfully on very sandy soils
that are capable of absorbing large
quantities of water.
LeveERidge. Terrace.
The brOad-base level-ridge terrace
is laid out absolutely level. This
more nearly meets the requirements
of an ideal terrace than any other
type. Its distinct advantage over a
terrace with fall is that practically
none of the fertile parts of the soil
are removed from the field. 1t is par
ticularly suitable for use on open,
permeable soils. When used in con-
nectiOn with tile drains on any type
of soil it unquestionably is the most
effective method ever employed to
stop erosion.
The brOad-base, graded-ridge ter
race, generally known as the Mangum
terrace, possesses all the advantages
of the brOad-base level-ridge terrace
with the exception of the one stated
IN the preceding paragraph. 1t may
be used on any type of soil, but is rec
commended for use only on soils where
the broad-base, level-ridge terrace
without tile drainage cannot be used
successfully. Erosion is reduced to a
minimum in the terrace channel by
carrying the water off the field in a

If the chickens must be confined on
account of bad weather provide a good
straw litter in which their grain feed
may be scattered. This will give them
exercise and keep them interested and

RIGHT CARE FOR LUBRICANTS
Greases to Stand in Dusty Places
Without Covering.

Tractor operators sometimes allow
oils and greases to stand in dusty
places without suitable covering. Thus
the oil becomes impregnated with
grit, and causes wear on the bearing
parts. Keep the oil and grease con-
tainers tightly corked, and covered If
left outside of a closed building. A
clean, dry place is essential for the
proper care of tractor lubricants.
