IMPORTANCE OF COAL DUsT.-Sci.
ence has spoken the Importance Of
carbon, and we now state that a
soil without carbon rarely, if ev-
er produces perfect plant. Our
object is not ct present to show its
Importance as q necessary constitu-
ent of good soil, but to awaken in
the mind, the value Of this element in
the economy Of farm management.
We see thousands of loads of this
useful matter, lying about, consider
ed by many, as cumbcrer of
the ground.
What we are going to say of its
value, we say knowingly, and We ap-
peal to all who have coal dust at
their command, to use and test it.
Carbon is a porous body and read
lily absorbs ammonia, (of the impor-
tancc of ammonia we need say moth
ing,) this being the fact, its utility is
clearly established, and its applica,
ton as clearly pointed out. The an.
nual loss of ammonia from the
COW pen, stables, horse lots &C., du.
ring the year, is very great. This
prodigality in one of the principle ell
omcnts in the pabulum (food) Of
plants, can easily be arrested by
use of coal dust, and so fixed that
when put on the soil, will supply the
necessary amount required BY the
plant. Our manncr:oi doing this is
rs follows: we cover the floor Of eve
ry stable about four inches thick
then cover TO any depth with leaves
from the forest, pine straw, or any
other organic troushnessa we nav
-cisiRStt qiludiantiiiffyj" has accumulated we,
take it out and pen it; if we have
coal dust enough, we cover the top of
the pen with it, this keels the heat in
and the water fo1n rains out, pre-
venting teaching, and other loss, and
saves great amount of weight in
hauling out. 3.

friends in both Houses of Congress. The
friends of the measure argue that if even the

cured 100 acres, the volunteers of 1912, who
served three months, are justly entitled to the
