plant. Another classification suits US
better, it is to consider the soil as &C
tire and dormant, or fine and coarse.
A soil made fine, impalpably line,
as reduced to a suitable condition to
feed vegetation, it then becomes act
i've or fertilizing. While dormant,
it il inactive. furnishing no food or
fertilization whatever. Here then IS
the value of tillage. which tends to
change the dormant SOIL constituents
into active ones. The more we plow
and harrow, and narrowing is only
fine blowing, and the more with the
plow and harrow the soil is exposed
to the action and influences of the
weather, the more is dormant soil
changed into active or fertile soil.
Many a crop refuses remuneratiVe re-
turns, many an acre becomes impov-
erished, not because the lime, nitro
gen, potash, phosphates and other ele-
ments of nutrition have beeD cropped
out. but because the active elements
have been taken out in the crops
than the farmer with his pillow,
harrow and hoe has ground or reduced
the coarse or dormant elements into
foe Dr. active ones.
Farmers talk about an exhausted
soil. Exbastion is a myth, an inpos-
sibility. Nc soil can be exhausted of
its dormant nutriB1eur elements. These
are deposited in the soil in inexhaust-
ible measure, yet the sod may be
into ~barrenness by too much
manure and too little blowing.
Right here is the first grand mis-
take of u~nscientifc farmers, those
who by bone and muscle dig hard
earned products from an unwilling
seil-those complain that their
manure h-aps are insufficient to keep
the fertility Of the farm-those
who regret their inability to purchase
commercial fertilizers. like p~orgie-
chum and super phosphates. Let me
to such, trust to patent maDures
less, aud to the plow more-there is
money, there is success In so doing"

fact corroborative of the idea that the old world

Better Late than Never.

Life is like race where some succeed.
While others are beginning;
'Tis luck in some, in Others speed,
That gives an early winning;
But If you chance TO fall behind,
Ne'er slacken your endeavor:
Just keep this wholesome truth in mind,
"'Tis better late than neyerl"
And II you keep ahead, 'tis well,
But never trip your neighbor;
'Tis noble when you can excel
BY honest, patient labor;
But if you are outstripped at last,
Press on as bold as ever;
Remember, though you are surpassed,
"'Tis better late than neverl"
Ne'er labor for an idle boast,
OF victory DER another;
But while you strive your uttermost,
Deal fairly with your brother;
Whate'er your station. do your best,
And hold your purpose ever;
And If yoa fail TO do the rest,
"'Tis better late than neverl"
Choose well the path in which you run,
Succeed by noble daring;
Then, though the last, when once tits won,
Your crown is worth the wearing;
Then never fret IL left behind,
Nor slacken your endeavor;
But ever keep this truth in mind,
"'Tis better late than neverl"
