HOW THE GULLIES
CAN BE RECLAIMED
PIowing-in and Seeding to Grass
or Timber Recommended.
Farmers Should Build ooiI-Savina
Dams That Check Erosion and
Cause the Filling Of Space
With Silt.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture
Gullies are d source OF great loss
to the farmer. They rum fertile
land, interfere with farm operations,
undermine buildings, encrOach ON pub
lie roads, endanger the life of stock
and mar the beauty and lower the
market value of the farm. They can
be prevented by increasing the alb
Sorptive capacity Of the soil by till
ing, protecting the surface from
erosion by proper cultivation, and by
conducting the surplus water from
the field at d low velocity. Gullies
can be reclaimed by plowing-in and
seeding to grass or timber, or by
building soil-saving dams that check
erosion and cause the filling Of the
gully with silt
In checking outlying, the first thing
is to stop it at the head If possible,
the water should be turned into a
natural Water-course before it reaches
the head of the gully. In shallow
gullieS, dam built close to the head
will give a ill of soil in a short time.
In deeper gullies, a longer time is
necessary according to the condition
and amount of washing. Brush and
straw, firmly fastened down. make
a good dam for stopping erosion.
IN regions where timber and brush
are plentiful good results in filling
gullies have been obtained by the use
of brush dams. In hillside gullies
where the flow of water is small the
dams are commonly built of loose
brush sometimes weighted down with
logs. Where the flow is enough to
overtop the dam, the brush can be
held down by crossp!cces and stakes.
Simply dumping the brush into a gully
will not give good results.
Before beginning to reclaim a gully
with sOil-saving dams, the entire work
Of reclamation should be planned. If
only a part of the work is planned
it may not fit into the complete re-
clamation work which may be under
taken later. After the head dam is
in place and erosion checked, num-
Der of low, temporary dams can be
used in wide, shallow depression
that will gradually fill. If the gully
ends in the side of a deep drainage
channel, the lower end must be built
up with a high dam. The higher the
dams the fewer will be required, but
several low dams are less costly than
constructed. A low dam also requires
less care and attention than high
dam.

FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not laxative
it cannot grippe. 1t is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water it is
harmless and pleasant.

TURKEY FATTENED ON RANGE
Flesh Gains in Flavor and Tenderness
In Way 1t Cannot If Fowl is
Confined.

1t is just as important to have turk
eys in good plump condition before
marketing as it is chickens. However,
a good many farmers regard this as a
hard job simply because there is CON
siderable misunderstanding as to the
correct way to go about the matter.
Turkeys, if taken Alright, are easily
fattened; in fact, easier than most
other fowls. But if turkeys have had
free range all summer, you cannot
fatten them with any satisfaction in
an enclosure. The change will cause
them to fret and refuse to eat and
thus they will lose instead of gain in
weight On the other hand, if they
range too much while being fattened,
they will run off, the beneficial eff
fects of your extra feeding. The right
plan is therefore a compromise be-
tween these two extremes. Teach the
turkeys to come up every evening at
least. and then stuff them with all they
will possibly eat. You will soon find
them ranging at short distances only
and coming up even between feeding
times, where they should always be
able to find some sort of attractive
food.
Don't try to fatten the turkeys on
corn alone. A close diet of new corn
often results in bowel troubles for the
turkeys just as it does for hogs, and
a sick turkey is usually a dead turk
ey. Mix the fattening ration; variety
is desirable for several reasons. Equal

a good ration Give also an occasional

makes a very rich feed. especially
if a quantity of ground beefscrap or

AS the turkey takes on fat the
flesh turns to a rich golden color. If

Gordon B. Nance, county agent of
Oldham county, Kentucky points out,
however, that although his county has
only 1856 farms 10 per cent of the
farmers have signed enrolment

only 100000 sheep in the country
as compared with 64O00,000 in 1903.
This is a decrease Of 49, per cent
during period when the population

able that dogs are responsible for
such a reduction, but, in the opinion
of the author, there would be many
more sheep in great many farming
sections if there were more good dog
laws backed up by public opinion The
possibility of producing early-matur-
