H0r,-oM .Soil.--OlIr- American farm
ers talk a great deal about wOrn-Out
soils, just as though land would not re-
main fertile forever if-as much plant
food was returned to it rs is taken out.
in the agricultural districts of Europe
a farmer is expected to constantly in
crease the fertility of his land instead
of wearing it out.
Mr..Lewis, of England, made expert
ments with soil owned in one family a
thousand years. He sOwed piece con-
tinuously TO wheat for twenty-seven
years with an averrge crop of fifteen
and five-eighths bushels per acre. A
piece in barley, nineteen years, gave
twenty bushels per acre; and a piece in
grass, fourteen years, gave $500 pounds
year. This yield, consequently, repre-
sented the condition of the soil, with
the ordinary cult iNation and rotation as
practiced; but similar land of the same
farm, to which fourteen tons of manure
had been applied, produced thirty-six
bushels of barley; and with two hun
dred pounds of Sulphate of ammonia
and three hundred OF phosphate, it pro-
duced forty-eight bushels of barley.
This, again, shows the value of manure
in England, and the increased fertility
of its soil through the application of
manure; and any farmer, knowing the
cost of manure in his locality, may ca
silly estimate whether it will pay him to
Use il or not, bearing in mind always that
it is much cheaper and easier to keep up
the fertility of the soil than TO bring it
back when once it is impoverished

their qualities.
They are medium size, but good lay
ers of good sized, pure white eggs.
They seldom offer 10 set, and if they
have good range, they will find most
of their living in good weather, and
lay both winter and summer. They are
becoming very popular, both for beauty
and as layers. They cannot beexcelled
by any variety in the number of eggs
they will produce year. The chickens
feather out and mature very early, are
easily reared, very handy and exempt
from disease. Pullets often lay at five
months old. PulletS of this breed
batched out the first of August will
come to maturity and begin to lay be
fore Brahmas and .COchins that were
hatched i'm June. From the experience
| have had with this breed, consider
them the best breed of fowls in eXis-
tence, and if they have a good range.
they will produce more pounds of eggs
and dressed poultry than any breed, 10
the quantity of food consumed. During
very hot or very cold weather, when
the large breeds are setting around in
some corner TO protect themselves from
the heat or the cold, the Leghorns are
stirring about and appear to be COM
Portable. They are very gentle and
stand confinement well, seldom flying
over fOur-feet picket fence. Their
flesh is white, juicy and of good quality.
For the farm or city they are very
snowy and ornamental.

AGRICULTURAL.

Spontaneous Combustion IN Hdg.-There
are doubtless MANY farmers who have
experienced sudden and destructive
confagratiOns in their hay lofts, which
could not be ascribed to any exterior
agency. Barns have been known to
burst into flames, almost without warn
ng save perhaps a significant odor, for
a few days previously, around the
places where the hay was stored, and a
summers harvest is swept away in as
many minutes as it has taken days to
gather it. These unexpected confiagra-
tions are generally accredited to tramps
who have made the hay loft their sleep
ing resort, but it is now asserted that
such calamities are frequently due to
the spontaneous combustion of the hay,
a circumstance theoretically quite pos
sible, but rarely considered. Able
Moigno, in Les Nondes, gives the fol-
lowing as the theory of the phenomena
Hay, when piled damp and in too large
masses, ferments and turns dark. in
decomposing. sufficient heat is deyel-
oped TO be insupportable when the
hand is thrust into the mass, and
vapOrs begin to be emitted. When the
water i almost entirely eyaporated,
the decomposition continues, and the
hay becomes carbOnized little by little;
and then the charred portion, like
peat cinaers mixed with charcoal, sui
phurous pyrites and Ignite, etc, be-
comes Kind of pyrOphorus, by virtue
of its great porosity and of the large
quantity of matter exposed to high oxi-
dation. Under the influence of air in
large amount, this charcoal becomes
concentrated on the surface to such
degree that the mass reaches tenn
perature which results in its bursting
into flames.
The preventives for this danger are
care that the hay in the lofts is kept
perfectly dry, that it Is well packed,
and that it is stored in small heaps
rather than in large masses.
