it liberates it so rapidly that much 
of it is carried into the air, and 
washed away by rains. Soil thus 
treated will in time become worth- 
less. A drink of whiskey will pep 
you up and make you feel good (?) 
for a time, but what about the after 
effects? The whiskey liberates the 
energy the body already contains 
and leaves it impoverished. 
Everything Up-side-down 
Nature never plows the soil, turn- 
ing it up-side-down. That is an up- 
side-down way of farming. Nature 
keeps the soil loose by keeping it 
covered, by the decaying of roots 
and by the burrowing of worms. Till- 
ing the soil was commanded in the 
Scriptures but not in the way it is 
being done now. The crude plows 
used in ancient times were more pro- 
ductive of good results than those 
used now. Soil may be loosened to 
almost any depth but it should never 
be turned over putting the good 
soil underneath and the poorer on 
top. Our garden has not been 
plowed for 15 years. We use a Roto-
