I BEATS TERRACE PLAN
I Hxpcrience Of a Farmer at the
Foot of the Blue Ridge
Hills.
I have for many years been
insisting that the true method
for preventing the washing of
our hillsides is in deep breaking,
vegetable matter in the soil, and
level cultivation, to make no fur-,
r '\vs to gather a head of water. |
Therefore. I am glad to have the
backing 1 uf L>r. Butler on this
subject. It is no theory with
me. but the result of actual cul
tivation of as steep red hills as
are under the plow anywhere in
the Piedmont ciuntry. A year
or so ago I passed a field not far 1
north taom Raleigh where a new
set of Mangum terraces had
been made. a.id right across
these terraces was a ragged gully
straight through the whole series,
and getting wider and wider as
it went down hill. The water
had gained a head in the upp« r
terrace and broke over, and each
terrace in succession had broken
ovi i'. Right back of the old
Horticultural Hall, at the A. v V
M. College iii Raleigh, the field,
now largely taken up in build
ings, was arranged with Man
gum tetraces. In one cloud-,
burst I saw the water going over,
these terraces in cascades, one
(after another, and but for the
fact that the land was in soJ.
there would have been gullies
made. Hut when 1 was farming
mountain land, near the toot
of the Biue Ridge. \ iriginia. I
always had a sod to run when
preparing the 'hills for a hoed
crop, and 1 got the land back to
sod soon after the hoed crou so
that I would always have
fibrous vegetable matter to pre-;
vent washing.
Then I broke deeply and sub
i soiled deeper, fully 10 inches,
had loose soil for the water to
sink into. Then I cultivated the:
crop as level as possible and
; never formed \alleys between,
. the rows to gather a head of j
I water. Ar.d I never made a
i , .
S KUliy. and never rr.ale a torrao,
! ar.d with thi* proper rotation of
5 crops and deep plowing I would
K not want to be bothered with
K them, for I would not want to
r plow and cultivate the field as a
[1 whole. The oldstyle terrace
£ banks, grown up in weeds and
I grass, with a gully-making ditch i
| behind them are an abomination, 1
1 disfiguring the field and making
2 cultivation inconvenient. The
f Mar gum terraces aie better, so
far as looks and convenience are
concerned, but deep breaking
I and a sod to turn, followed by
level cultivation is worth more
| than any terrace.
Keeping land of a hilly nature
too long in pasture will finally
make gullies. In Piedmont Vir
ginia. I know fields that are
gullied so that they are practical
ly irreclaimable, simply because
they had let the grass run out to
mere poverty grass, and the
cattle had worn tracks that
started the gullies. But I al
ways broke a sod while still
good, and had my neighbors
I wondering why I turned under a
1 good sod. while they were afraid
I I
ito turn it. But I soon had
a better sod and my soi

vh you say, It
would cure me also. I am los

X have every symptom of Brlght's
disease of the kidneys. If you think
I would be benefited by Peruna I will
certainly try some as the doctors have
practically given trie up. the same as
they did him."
In ri ply I wish to say. first, that I
never make any promises as to w hat
Peruna will cure. No physician can
make positive statements of that sort.
1 can say t1.1.i much, however. If I
were In your place I should certainly
give IVruna a trial. I know of no
other remedy that would be so likely
to be of use to you In your present
condition as Peruna. Take a table
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time. Continue this for two or three
weeks anil then If there la anything
you wish to ask me further write me
and I wIU give your letter prompt at
tention.
If I find that tho Peruna Is not
helping y, u I wilt bo perfectly frank
and teil y..u so. for I would not havo
you take IVruna unless It was really
