The Purchase of a Saxon
Insures Riding Satisfaction
Saxon cars are today generally recognized as
the best cars in their price classes.
Their greater value has been definitely and
decisively established by their performance
records in the hands of thousands of owners in
all parts of the country.
The Saxon Motor Car Corporation has earned
one of the biggest successes in the automobile
industry. It owes its success to the policy of
building good cars and building them in quan
tities. Its cars have won the respect of the
motor buying public.
Such absolute satisfaction as is represented in
the following testimonial i9 the big reason back
of Saxon success :
"1 want to say that Saxon 'Six' is an automo
bilo that will do all the Saxon Motor Car Cor
poration claims it will do and more.
"We have driven our car many thousand
miles and can honestly say it it the easiest
riding car we ever rodo in."

PREVENTING EROSION OF FARM LANPS
? - "
GULLIED FIELD IN
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The existence of vast areas of so
called worn-out hill lands throughout
the United States may be attributed
chlelly to soil erosion, due to the
natural agencies of wind, frost and
rain. Jn most localities, wind and
frost, owing to their comparatively
clow processes, play but a minor part
In the depletion of the soil and the ulti
mate destruction of good farm lands.
It is the failure of the soil to absorb
the rain water which falls upon it that
presents by far the most serious as
pect of the problem. As an indication
of the damage done by erosion, it is
estimated that the Potomac river each
year carries off in solution about 400
pounds of solid matter per acre of
land drained, containing plant food
sufficient to produce a crop. Unless
such loss be replaced annually by
natural agencies or the application of
fertilizer, It Is obvious that the land
soon will deteriorate greatly in pro
ductiveness and eventually be aban
doned. In addition to the loss through ero
sion of the soluble' elements of tho
soil, a noticeable Impairment occurs
In the physical condition of tho noil.
When the moving water washes the
soil particles from the surface of tho
hillside nnd deposits them on the land
below, the heavier particles, or the
sandy constituents of the soli, are de
posited first, and the finer, or clay,
parts last. Since neither pure sand
nor pure clay possesses the produc
tive characteristics observed In a soil
composed of the proper Intermixture
of sand and clay particles, it is appar
ent that the effect of this sorting pro
cess Is to diminish greatly the fertility
or productive power of tho soil. Hence,
not only the eroded land suffers but
also the land at t lower level upon
Which the eroded material Is deposited.
Forms of Erosion.
Erosion duo- to moving water occurs
In two forms sheet washing and gul
Ij Ing. Small areas are practically
ruined by gullying, while sheet wash
ins diminishes the productive power
of large areas.
Gullying generally is the most
dreaded of the two types on account
of Its more apparent destructive ef
fects. Where tho ravages of erosion
proceed unchecked, deep gullies In
variably develop In the field. Their
appearance causes not only nbsoluto
loss of land and Inconvenience In cul
tivating, butva marked lowering in the
watrr table, with u possible accom
panying Inability of the soli to retain
tho proper moisture content for the
production of crops and to withstand
periojs of drought.
The injury due to sheet washing,
which occurs throughout tho United
States, generally Is underestimated
and is regarded by many farmers as
of no particular consequence. It Is
this type of erosion that slowly car
ries away the very fertility of the soil
without apprising the fnrmer except
through slightly diminished crop yields
each year that the application of
remedial measures Is imperative In
order to save his farm.
Methods of Preventing Erosion.
Erosion Is due chiefly to the free
movement of water over the surface
of the land, which carries off particles
of soil. If nil rain water were ab
sorbed by the ground upon which it
falls, soil erosion would be reduced to
a minimum. It Is obvious, therefore,
that In order to prevent or reduco
erosive notion tho soil must rocoho
treatment thnt Is conducive to the ad
mission and the storage of largo iunn
titles of rain water; and methods must
bo employed to reduce the velocity,
and thereby the transporting power,
of the run-oft wnter.
Since tho storage capacity of a soil
depends upon Its porosity, any treat
ment which results In nn Increased
porosity of tho soil will reduco erosion
materially. This porous condition
usually Is obtained- directly by deep
plowing und by n thorough Incorpora
tion of organic mutter In tho soli.
Methods of subsurface drnlnngo which

as seeding land to pasture, growing
timber, and planting cover crops in tho
winter, tends to check nnd diminish
erosion greatly. Other methods which
retard the flow of the water and con
duct tho excessive run-off from tho
field with a reduced amount of erosion,
are contour plowing, hillside ditching,
und terracing.
Deep Tillage.
By deep plowing the. absorptive pow
er and reservoir capacity of a soil Is
Increased greatly. - It Is said that ten
Inches of loose, plowed soil will nb
sorb two Inches of rainfall. The In
corporation of organic matter or
humus in n soil adds materially to Its
moisture-holding capacity. This "Is
best accomplished by plowing under
deeply, hinnuro, stubble, stalks and
various cover crops. This organic
matter. In u decomposed stnte, Is
capable of absorbing considerable wa
ter and forms a richer nnd deeper top
soil.
Vegetation or cover crops will pro
tect the soil In four ways: (1) by
holding rain water on the surface for
u time, thus giving the soil a
better opportunity to absorb the wa
ter; (2) by keeping the soil open
through the growth of the roots, which
form passages for the water to reach
the subsoil ; (3) by holding tho soil
particles together through the binding
power of the roots ; and (4) by reducing
the movement of soil pnrtlcles through
diminishing the velocity of surface wa
ter. Cover crops usually are grown
during the winter or when tho land
otherwise would be idle. Vetch, clover,
cowpeas, oats, wheat and rye are com
monly used for cover crops.
Level Culture.
Contour plowing and the following
In general of practically level lines In
farm operations tend to check the sur
face flow down a slope and to retain
the water where It falls. In cultivat
ing crops, each row ih banked up nnd
a shallow depression which holds the
surface water Is left between the rows.
Thus the absorption by the soil of this
Impounded water Is facilitated and
the rapid run-off down the slope, with
Its destructive eroding power, often is
entirely eliminated in case of ordinary
rains. Contouring contributes also in
u considerable' degree to the conserva
tion of niolslurc on hill lands.
Often it seems impossible tp prevent
erosion on lands with excessive slopes.
No attempt should be made to culti
vate such ureas, but they should be
seeded to pasture and usually retained
as such. In well-sodded pasture land
the soil Is not exposed directly to the
erosive action of the water, so that
erosion Is much less destructive than
In cultivated fields.
In many sections of tho country
tlmberlnnd on excessively steep slopes
has been cleared for cultivation, and
In many Instunces after cleurlng it was
found Impossible to control pr check
tho erosion. Such lands should bo re
verted to timber; otherwise the rav
ages j)f erosion will reduce It soon to
a state of barrenness. It Is known
that erosion Is least active In forested
areas, because of the penetration and
binding power of the roots nnd tho ac
cumulation of a thick layer of leaves
and organic matter on the soil surface.
Underdralning.
It can be seen readily that by the
underdralning of land to carry off the
excess water from the soli space Is
created for the reception of more wa
ter from the surface. The water fall
ing upon the surface sinks into the
soil, percolates through It, and Is ion
ducted away by the uiiderdralns to an
open drainage channel without ruimlnfif
over tho surface and causing destruc
tive erosion. Entrapped air, which
often prevents the ontrnnco and freo
movement of water In the soli, finds a
means of escape through subdralnago
channels. Tho physical condition of
tho soil is altered by uudordralnngo
through the aeration and fiocmlutlon
of the soil particles. A pcrceptlblo ex
pansion and a slight upheaval of the
soil tuko place, resulting In an Increase
In the slzo of the Individual pore
spaces. Hence, tho rainfall percolates
more easily and quickly Into the soil
and n diminution In the run-off fJ-lows.
NO PLACE TO HANG PICTURE
Child Could Not Carry Out Teacher's
Instructions Because His Home
Had No Walls.
A young teacher of this city, homo
from kindergarten work In a lnrgo
eastern city, told this story, which she
vouches for. The teacher was anxious
to improve the home life of the llttlo
foreigners she taught, so she bought
some Inexpensive pictures nnd gnvo
one to each child, asking that the pic
ture be hung on the wall of the home.
Ono little foreigner took the picture
with evident reluctance, nnd the next
day brought It back and handed It to
the teacher.
"Why didn't you hniiK It on the wall
like the others did, instead of bringing
It back?" teacher asked. In the expla
nation that followed It developed that
the youngster lived In a large loft
room, with four other families besides
Its own. Each of the other families
had a wall, while the kindergartener's
family lived In the middle of tho room,
hence hnd no place to hang pictures.

Muffin Recipe.
A few weeks after Mr. Newlywcd
was married he said to his wife one
morning: "Martha, I wish you'd write
to that old colored cook your folks
have in Atlanta, and find oiit how she
makes the splendid muffins thnt we
used to have there for breakfast."
Mrs. Newlywcd did so, and about a
week later received tho following re
ply: "Denr Missy: To make tho muffins
you-nll spoke about take as much corn
meal flour eggs molnsscs sugnr salt
and butter as you think you need, cord
ing to the number of persons you think
you're going to have stir them all to
gether and bake In a hot oven." Mrs.

YES! MAGICALLY! !
CORNS LIFT OUT !
WITH FINGERS
You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a smull bottle of freezone."
This will cost very llttlo but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from one's feet.
A few drops of this new ether com
pound applied directly upon n tender,
aching corn relieves tho soreness in
stantly, nnd soon tho entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid one's feet of
corns was Introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who snys that freezone dries in
a moment, nnd simply shrivels up the
corn or cnllus without irritating tlid
Btirroundlng skin.
If your druggist hnsn't any freezone
tell him to order n smnll bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you. ndv,
Sometimes a woman will admit tlmt
the most trouble sho has had with her
husband was in getting him.
