UNDERSTAND YOUR SOILS.

Mr.. EDITOR There is a wonderful
sameness in our American system of farm
ing, and to this following Of certain fixed
routine upon all soils, and in all situations,
may be traced some of the failures at
least which happen to the farmers. Thus,
for instance, farmer A. has a soil, the
situation and character of which eminent
ly adapt il to the profitable growing of
wheat; farmer B. has a farm, the soil
and location of which are directly the op-
posite of that of farmer A Without
noting this fact, farmer B. follows the same
rotation as farmer A., and is surprised

thorough pulYerization, as heavy manur.
ing, and the same period for sowing or
planting, his wheat crops arc decidedly
inferior to those of his neighbors. He
seeks for reason, but rarely hits upon
the right one, and consequently his well
meant efforts to remedy the evil are of no
avail, because not applied in the proper
direction.
My attention was first drawn to thi.
subject by the fact of having in my carly
farming days fallen into this very common
and hurtful error. A few years of failure
led me to close inquiries, which, with the
aid of some scientific friends, resulted il
the development of the mystery and thu
adoption of system adapted tony soil
We all know that the system which oper
ates admirably upon warm soils and DR.,
situations, will prove total failure upol
such as are cold and wet A drec
northern exposure (the treatment bein!
the same) will, almost invariably, Prov
less favorable for corn than a full southern
one, yet farmers with fields thus differing
plow and plant precisely as though the,
were the same.
For these reasons every farmer shoulc
feel the absolute necessity of ascertaining
beyond the pcyadyeuture of doubt tn
precise nature and quality of the soil h

TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SAVED
Mr.. Spading has sold two millions ot
bottles of his celebrated Prepared Glue
and it is estimated that each bottle saves
at least ten dollars worth of broken furni.
ture, thus making an aggregate of twenty
millions of dollars reclaimed from total
loss by this valuable invention. Having
made his Glue household word, he now
proposes to do the world still greater SER
vice by curing all the aching heads with
his Cephalic, Pills, and if they are as good
as his Glue, Headaches will soon vanish
away like snow in July.
