Farm and FlreSade.


Hon. $. WATSON, President Of the Maine
State Board of Agriculture, says:--
The farmer, when blowing and harrow
ing, is rs really and cllectually mannrng
as he is when cartng animal weddings to
the fields. To the unthinking farmer this
may not he obvious. Let us examine; let
us investigate and see.
We pillow and harrow 10 mako the soil
fine and divisiblc. But why make it fine?
There mustbe an intelligent reason for so
doing. There is.
Plants take up their food only in solu-
BILE luuifiod condition, the soil particles
can be no more available as plant food than
a block of granite. Soil particles may as
well he as large as peanut, as to be reduc-
ed to the size of a pgeon-shot, so far as ell
Their can feed the plant
Chemists divide the soil into two classes,
soluble and insoluble. soluble, that is in
that condition in which the food contained
therein is in an available condition, and
iusolublc. or in that condition which can
not feed the plant. Another classification
suits us better, and that is TO consider the
soil rs active and dormant, or fine and
coarse.
\ soil made fine, impalpahly fine, or re-
duced to a suitable condition to feed vcgc-
tation, ii then becomes active or lortilizing.
While dormant it is inactive, furnishing no
food or fertilization whatever Here then
i, the valueof tillagc, which tends to change
the dormant soil constituents into active
ones.
The more we pillow and harrow-and har-
rowing is only fine plowing-and the more
with the pillow and harrow, the soil is eX-
posed to the action and influences of the
weather, the more is dormant soil changed
into active soil.
Many a crop refuses rcmunerallNc re-
turns, manyan acre becomes impoverished
not because the lime, nitrogen, potash, phos-
pilates, and other elements OF nutrition have
been cropped out, but because the active
elements have been taken out in the crops
faster Than the farmer with his pillow, har-
row and hoe, has ground or reduced the
coarse or dormant elements into fine or ac-
tive ones.
Farmers talk about an exhausted soil
Exhaustion is a myth, an impossihility
No soil can be exhausted of its dormant
and nutrient clements These are deposit
ed in the soil in incxhaustiblc measure ye
the soil may be forced into barrenncss by
too much manure and too little blowing.
Right here is the first and grand mistake
of unsciculfc farmers, those who 10y bone
and muscle dig hard earned products from
an unwilling soil-those who complain that
their manure heaps are insufficient TO lceT
up the fertility Of the iarn-those who re-
grct their inability to purchase commercial
fertilizers like porgie-chum and superphos'
pilates. Let me say to such, trust to patent
manure, less and TO the pillow more; there
is money, there is success in 50 doing

THE .r.vGEL or PsTIB.rCE.

Beside the toilsomo way
Lonely aud dark, by fruits and flowers unblest,
which my worn feet tread sadly day by day,
Longing in vain for rest,
An angel softly walks,
with pale, sweet face, and eyes cast meoky down,
The while from withered leaves and howerless stalks
She wcayes my hitting crown.
sweet and patient grace,
A look Of firm endurance true and tried,
OF suffering meekly borne, rests on her face
so pure 10 glorined.
And when my fanting heart
Dcsponds and murmurs at its adverse fate
Then quietly the angels bright lips part,
whispering softly, "waitl"
''Patencc' she swectly saith
"The Fathers mercits never come too late;
Grid thee with patient strength and trusting faith
And firm endurance watt"
Angel, behold watt
Wearing the thorny crown through all lfc's hours
wait till thy hand shall opc the eternal gate,
And change The tliorns to flowers.

compress and compact its particles,
