Soil AnaIEsIS vs.. ExperIence.

"The knowledge gathered from ex.
perience is able in nine-nine cases out
of hundred to give more truthful
verdict in regard to the capacity of a
soil, than any amount of analysis can
do; and l would give more for the
opinion Of an intelligent farmer than
for that of the most skillful chemist,
in most questions connected with farm
ing.'-Prof. johnson.
f"We believed that the water was
the carrier of the most remote elements
of the soil to the immediate presence
of the plant; but all this has been
great mistake. X x X We
have inferred from the effect of water
and carbonic acid on rocks simi>
lar action on 'soils > but this conclu-
sion is false. X x x The soil
does not give up to the water one par
ticle of the food for plants which it
contains. ."-Lie5ig.
Two points surrendered, and the
surrender confirmed in the most posi-
tive language but he rallies again in
few lines, and insists on what he has
Just admitted to be false. "We know
Of no other way in which the earthly
phosphates are dispersed through the
soil than by means of corbonic acid
water. /" Again be says eff tits true
that one of the chief effects of humus,
or the deeaying remains of plants in
soils or in manure, consists in its form
ing source of carbonic acid, with
which the air and water in :he ground
are enriched if it is also true that
carbonic acid water renders the earthly
phosphates soluable, and thus contri-
butes to their distribution through the
soil; then there can be no doubt that
the salts of ammonia, which possess
the same solnable property, can in
this respect replace the organic mat
ters, and exert an equally favorable
influence on the growth of plants"
The mystic shadow of that fatal
little word, 'if, covers up one of the
best established principles in the whole
code Of the laws Of vegetable physi-
ology. Drainage, practiced upon the
best system of economical principles,
and established by fact and argument
/ irrefragible, fatty contradicts the two
/ points surrendered by Liebig, and es-
tablishes beyond a peradyenture the
fact that the introduction Of light and

i phical principle upon which all those
chemical agents are put in motion thai

For the Nebraska Farmer.
Borrowing Farmers.

MR ED1ToR 1t has often been a mat
ter Of wonder to me, how some farmers
could get along farming, and yet have
none of the implements necessary to car
ry on the business with. But l am get
ting somewhat enlightened upon the sub
iect and as / have heard others express
their astonishnient at the way some men
manage to cultivate their land with no
capital, I wilIendeavor to enllgbten them.
Well, here is my neighbor, Mr.. X,
who has lived by me for the last six years
and endeaDorlng to farm. When the time
for seeding comes, he starts around the
country to see where he can get a plow,
harrow, g., &c. Coming to neighbor Y
who has sOmo buOiheoo 10 trenoact away
from home, he succeeds in obtaining bis
harrow for the next day; but fortunately
for Y, he accidently is enabled to trans.
act his business without leaving home
and is therefore anxious to proceed with
his seeding. In this way it very fre.
quently happens that the man who ha:
spent his time and money to procure the
necessary implements TO farm with, many
Of which he has to keep in repair during
the entire year, for the sake Of having
the use Of them for a few days, mus
either deprive himself of their use during
those few days, or be called selfish, IN.
obligihg. SC. This, then is the way those
farmers who farm without owning any
tools, get along Aby7 Ievying tax OF
such Of their neighbors assare willing
to pay whether they are able or not.
bow, I do not wish to be understood
as advancing the idea that it is wrong t.
borrow, and by no means wrong to lend
But do contend that no one should make
habit Of receiving value, without giving
value in return. Now, the custom of tht
country is such that men do not make /
specific charge in cash for the use 9
farm tools, but rely upon receiving a com
pensation for their use by borrowing 9th
ers IN return. But these men never hav
anything, and consequently cannot pay il
that way. Notwithstanding, they stil
persist in compelling their more indus
triOus, or honest, neighbOrs, to keepther

frod for plants, and air, earth and
water into food for man and beast.
Water, lurking about in the soil,
instead Of dissolving crude minerals,
and transforming them into organized
food for plants, and transferring them
from one portion Of the soil to anoth-
er, possesses a negative power over
those substances, producing a dormant
state Of solubility, actually destrue-
tive of vegetable life, until brought in
contact with carbonic acid of the at
mosphere. Aside from all metaphysi-
cal hypothesis, this is practically done
by a judicious pulyerization Of the soil,
and through drainage. In the vege-
table kingdom, as in al other parts Of
the universe, there ara two prevailing
elements, positive rnd negative. Wa
ter is one Of the most powerful of the
latter class; when free from the eonr
troll of light and heat the very soul
of vegetable life. Vegetable carbon,
the greatest of all fertilizers, to b
found in great quantities in she forests
and low lands, always prisoner to
this negative power to a great degree,
only requires to be transferred to our
exhausted felds-to the action Of light
and heat-to restore them to their na-
tive fertility. There are th0usandsOf
apparently exhausted soils in our
midst, whose vsubsoils contain all the
mineral substances necessary to re-
deem the uppersoil, whenever brought
to the action of the carbonie acid Of
the atmosphere. No better principle
for producing this result las ben es-
tablished than the practice of sowing
and plowing in clover, buekTheat, oat-,
&c. The crop may be turned under
twice each season 4; the time, and what
point of maturity to do this work, are
questions which may require the care-
tul observation of every ,cultivatOr Of
the soil. Clover is excellent for this
purpose, as its long tap roots run deep
iato the subsoil, with draft from ma
ture's own hand demanding dividend
from her mineral deposits below
These facts are only to be known by
continued experiments. Thus We
would unite science with labor, and
establish agricultural economy upona
basis that shall defy contradiction
Verify, soil analysis has proved a hum

/. The United states 5 Flag.

Washington unfurled me frstT Ameri-
can, Or as it was called, Union flag, in
January, 1776, when the British were in
possession Of Boston, and the Americans
eneamped at Cambridge Il was composed
of thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, symbolizing the thirteen revolted
colonies. In one corner, where we now
have the stars, was the device Of the
British Union flag, composed Of two
crosses, red and white on a blue ground.
One was a common cross, a horizontala and
.perpendicular bar and the cross Of St.
Andrew, representing Scotland, which,
in the form of an x. The colors, it will
be seen, were the same as In the British
saags.o Congress, 1777, changed the flag
by substituting thirteen starsfor the Bril-.
ish Union, by the passage, Of the follow
ing resolutions
Resol0ed, That the flag Of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes, alter.
hate9redsand white; that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in blue field, rep
resenting a constellation. -e .v;.,.r
This flag continued in use under the
. Constitution, until the 4yh day Of July
1918, having passed with unsulled honor
through the war with Great Britain, from
June 1862, to its close, by Disqualification
of the treaty of Client, in February. 1915.
In the year 1913, the numbero Of States
IN the Union amounted to twenty, ando
the 4th of April, the Congress Of the
United States passed law in the follow.
ing words:
Be At enacted, SC.
Section /. That from and after the
fourth day of July next, the flag of the
United States be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white; that the
rrninn DO t'vonty stars, white on u blue
field
Sec. 2. That on the admission of every
new State into the Union, one star be
added to the union of the flag, and that
such addition shall take effect on the
Fourth Of July next succeeding such ad-
mission.
So stands the law at this day, and is
unalterable but by law.
The colors selected for the American
flag, it will be seen, were similar to those
in the English-white, the emblem of
purity; Blue, of fidelity; and red, of
courage.

written for the Nebraska Farmer.

The Republican Valley, Kansas.
Mr.. EDIToR: The crops in these parts
truly presents very promising appear
ance, now on this eighth day of June
We have rye in full head and over five
feet in height, promising an abundant
Weld. We have what is knownas white
rye; its cultivation was begun in our
neighborhood about four years ago with
about quart Of seed. Such has been
the extraordinary increase, that it may be
seen in abundance growing on a large
number of farms. II makes very fair,
light colored four-the yield 25 or 80
bushels to the acre. We sow in Novem-
ber; from three pecks to one bushel per
acre. All fear of winter killing, in rela-
ton to fail wheat, has passed. We say
now with certainty that Kansas is a
wheat growing country. Our prospects
of wheat is truly encouraging. Fall
wheat, spring wheat, oats and barley, al
though our spring was very backward, is
heading full, and without an extraordinary
change, we will not want for bread.
Our corn and potatoes, although we
have had many cold nights Of late, almost
approaching 10 frost, is very forward
For three. years. after our settlement in
this locality, raising potatoes proved an
entire failure, although the soil was ia
vorable to their production. They came
up, grew well. but about the time Of the
appearance of the young potato, the po-
tato fy { (Cantharis vittata made their
appearance by many thousands, aud be-
fore they ceased their ravages, swept the
vines Of their green foliage and left them
a dried and withered slalk. This fly IS
something of a waspish shape about half
an inch in length. Some are dark vel
low in color, others Of blue and lead
color. Their clustering quality cannot
be questioned. They are certainly supe-
rior 10 the real Spanish fly, called Can
tharis hispaniaca. We tried TO destroy
by brushing them off into basins Of ho'
water, and from thence into tubs of the
same, prepared for the purpose; and BY
planting wide apart, and placing litter
between the rows, driving them from the
vines into the litter and setting fire to the
same. Although we took revenge by
killing thousands, yet for three years we
did not save our potatoes. Now they
have passed away, tr5ubie us but little
and we raise potatoes in abundance.
When our land was new, say the frs
and second breaking, we raised endless
quantities Of squash pumpkins, and mel
ons. have, with little trouble, had a
single pumpkin to weigh over one hun
dred pounds. Now we are reduced tc
more moderate quantities. The striped
bug is very numerous and destructive
Our greatest trouble is a darkish coloret
bug about three-quarters of an inch long

Many Facts in Small Commas.

The number of languages spoken is
4,054. The number of men is about
equal to the number of women. The av-
erage of human life IS 80 years. One
quarter die before the age Of seven, one
half before the age of seventeen. To ev-
cry thousand persons, one only reaches
the age Of one hundred years, and not
more than one in FIVE hundred will reach
eighty years. There are on the earth
1000, 100000 inhabitants; and Of these
333 1913 ,333 die every year, 81 ,S24 die
every day, 1880 every hour, and so ev-
cry minute, or one every second. These
losses are about balanced by an equal
number of births. The married are
longer lived than the single, and above
all, those who live a sober and industri-
Gus conduct. Tall men live longer than
short ones. Women have more chances
of life previous 10 the age Of fifty years
than men, but aftdr that, fewer. The
number of marriages is in the proportion
Of Sc to 100. Marriages are more fre-
quent after the equinoxes, that is during
the months of June and December.-
Those born in spring are more robust
than others. Births and deathe are more
frequent by night than by day.

D0IOrOus Deacon.

] have seen a deacon in the pride Of
his humaity. He combed his hair straight,
and looked studiously to the main chance:
and while he looked, he employed himself
in setting a good example. His dress
was rigidly plain, and his wife not indulg-
ed in the vanities Of millinery and man
taumaking. He never joked-he did not
know what joke was any further than
to know that IN was a sin. He carried a
Sunday face throughout the week. He
did no. mingle in the happy social parties
in his neighborhood. He was a deacon.
He starved his social natdre because he
was deacon. He refrained from all
participation In free and generous life
because he was a deacon. He made his
children hate Sunday because he was a
deacon. He so brought them up that they
considered themselves unfortunat In being
the children Of a deacon. His wife was
pitied by other women besause she was
the wife Of a deacon. Nobody loved
him. When he came into a circle where
men were laughing and telling stories,
they always stopped until he went out
Nobody grasped bis hand cordially, or
slapped him on the back, or spoke Of him
as a good fellow, He seemed as dry and
hard and tough as piece Of jerked beef.
There was no softness-no juciness-no
loveliness in him.

mires such character as this
