It would be better for him, better for the marquis himâ€" self, if he would confide in Gerald, and leave him free to seize on any chance of saving him. But the marâ€" quis evidently did not mean to speak. Gerald knew that the silence which the marquis had observed would be maintaired.

Agaio, drainage is absolutely necessary for the proper pulveri« zation of heary soils It is manâ€" fest that a wet soil can never be pulverized. More water is held by a pulverized and open soil thas by a compact mad close one. Wat« er is held in the soi@ between the milaute particles of earth, and if these particles be pressed together: compactly there is no space jeft between them for water. This comâ€" pactness exists more or less in most subsoils, certaioly in â€" adl those through which water does anot readily pass. Hence, all these subsoils are rendered more retepâ€" live ol moisture by having the parâ€" ticles of which they are composed separated fTrom oae anotherâ€"in a word, by pulverization. This inâ€" creasged _ capacity to _ contain moisture by attraction is the greatest security agaiast drought. ‘The plants in a dry time send their rootlets throughout the soil, and flourish in the mo‘sture thus stored up for their time of need. Boils that are always wet, so that large amounts ol water evaporate from their surfaces, never become warm. The sun has groat powoer to warm dry soils, or suils which permit of a {nee circulation of air, but it has little effect on a «maturated soil. Warmth is essential to the germinaâ€" tion of seeds and the proper growth of plants. Farmers who are cultivat« ing what is known as a ‘"cold" soil will be the first to concede the imâ€" portance of this fact. rain cannot pass directly downward, as explained above, but runs away upon the surface, carrying with it much of the sgoil, and washing the fertility out of much which remaine. But with proper drainage, the rain is at once absorbed, and passes downâ€" wards, saturating the soil in its dee scent and carrying the fertilizing elements to the roots of the plants, while the surplus moisture runs through the drains. . 50 cents a box, sig ‘ompany, ‘Torâ€" @ ~ngainst infiâ€" l1 elgnature "4~ "1mous reâ€" ~ _ zorv baw 12 1}
