the Nile nor the delta of the Mississippi. Mr..
Finley Dun, who inside last year for the Lon
don Times careful examination Of Amerl-
can agriculture, was strongly and of course
unfavorably impressed with the same fact
After speaking of "the sod Of 9gea, full of
rich organic matter, the debris of thousands
OF crops OF strong grass, rotted down or
burnt by the fires which sweep these wide
prsiries," he says:
practical men properly inquire how long
do these rich virgin soils continue proflably
to yield wheat. The application of farm
yard or other manures, be it observed, Is
quito exceptional Throughout the wide
wheat.growing regions the great bulk of the
straw is ruthlessly burned. Without any res
titution of the elements Of fertility annually
removed, often eight, ten or perhaps fifteen
years continuous wheat-growing, the best
soil necessarily become impoverished. |
have been shown in various parts of Mime
sofa which had borne satisfactorily without
manure, twenty consecutive crops of wheat.
But where everything is taken out and moth
ing put back, exhaustion must ensue sooner
or later. Such exhaustion has years ago been
induced in many Of the older eastern, and
even throughout some of the middle states,
The yield throughout the United States ay-
erages about one-half of what we were wont
to consider our British average of % bushels.
1t oscillates between 10 and IA bushels"
All of which is very true, and facts which
cannot be too wildly bursed upon the minds
of every farmer in our state. Now, that your
lands are rich virgin, 1t is thousand times
more easy to keep them so than to restore
them after they are ruined. Mature has given
you the right to extract your living from her
bosom, but denies your right to drink her
life blood. Like the hungry wolf, you love
to thrust your beak to the heart and drink
the life blood warm. You must by either
giving her rest from your ravages, or by &C,
tually hauling food back to your iolds-at
least liberal per cent. Of that taken away
if you would reap full annual crop. Your
soil can be depleted ms the sugar cane in the
mill, and as well may you expect saccarhine
matter from those pressed stalks as from
lands you have by slower yet rs fatal pro-
cesses.

Formation of Soils.

Vegetation and growth, says the Christian
Union, are very complex processes, involving
the action of the whole material universe In
vegetation the sun acts by light and heat and
chemical rays; the atmosphere by It's own
elements and by the carbOnic acid contained
in it; the water that pervndes the atmosphere,
or that is furnished in various other ways,
electricity, and the earth, by furnishing the
mineral elements that are essential TO each
kind of vegetation.
There is thus system Of laws that under
lies all agriculture. The elements taken
from other sources than the earth--that is,
from the atmosphere, the water, and heat
and light of the sun--do not exhaust the
sources of these elements, and cannot be
restored to them by human effort, but are re-
stored by the stated and constant action OF
the system. Another fundamental fact is
that the elements taken from the soil by crops
do by degrees exhaust il and must be re-
placed, or else the soil will become barren.
This is the most important fact in agricu,-
tnre. In some instances the distracted ele-
ments are restored by natural processes, rs
by the overflow of the Nile in Egypt, and OF
the Ganges in India, and some other similar
cases; but as "A rule they must be restored by
artificial means.
If n process Of abstraction goes on for a
length of time varying in different cases the
soil becomes barren for all plants which de-
msnd the elements taken away By a pro-
cess of this kind the lar ger part of the world
could be rendered barren, rs large
portions have been, so that uni
versal famine would ensue. Hence
the most pressing problem of agriculture

What Flowers VIII Grow in the
shade?
Peter Henderson answers

Peter Henderson answers
"The question is put to me every spring by
scores of city people, whose little patch which
they with to devote to flowers is so walled up
by neighboring houses, that the direct rays of
the sun never touch ii. But few plants will
develop their flowers there, and none will do
it as well as il it were lighted up by sunshine
part of the day. Fuchsias, pansies, forget
me-nots, violets, lobeias, lilies of the valley
phloxcs, and other herbaceous plants whose
native habitat is shady wood, will do best,
but even these anguish if denied all direct
sunlight. The best effect in such situations
is produced by ornamental level plants, the
beauty of which is not dependent upon their
flowers, Among these may be ranked the
gold and silver varlegated leaved geraniums,
achryanthus, alternantheras, begonias,
caladiums, cantaureas, coleuses, etc, which,
if planted 81 as to bring the various shades in
contrast, produce a pleasing effect, which
continues during the entire summer months,
and is not surpassed by any display of
flowers"

Care of Young Chicks.

a correspondent of The Country Gentle
man writes: If large percentage of chicks
be desired, employ only young fowls of any
breed to furnish the eggs. If only few
and choice, fine birds are wished for, use old
or fully niatured parents. The latter plan
is better where one wishes to improve the
size Of the breed, as well as the laying quail
ties, and preserve particular points which
identify the breed or species. These points
come out stronger III the progeny OF old
birds, but there are fewer, comparatively,
Of their eggs, and many of them never come
to maturity sufficient to break from their
shells. The few that do come out, however,
are worth enough to cover the loss, as they
are stronger, grow more rapidly, have greater
freedom from disease, and come into ma
turity sooner and make fine breeding birds
for the following season. The habit Of
selecting pullets each year for breeding birds
will soon run the aocks down. Although in.
creasing in numbers from this practice, their

Locating the Orchard
Prepared for the Herald.

After all the grestest enemy Of the Ameri-
can orchard is Jack Frost. In Texas these
mean little northers which suddenly come
upon us ste in the spring and all out OF
season play more havoc among our fruit
than all manner of worms AMI insects in the
summer. They catch the trees partially orin
full bloom. To guard against
their ravages is our chief duty and tho ques-
ton of questions. Tho first point is to pre-
vent tho trees from budding too early.
Murray Buford, of johnson county, Mo-,
Bays:
"If possible place the prairie orchard on
the north side of the house, as that will be
the most desirable location, and 1t will also
serve as windbreak. The object Of this is to
obtain the coolest exposure, to prevent the
swelling of the fruit buds during the lirst
warm days of spring. The failure of the
fruit crop, in most cases, is caused by the
killing OF the buds by late frosts. The neces-
sity of selecting only such apples as will suit
the locality for which they are intended, can
not DO too strongly urged, The advice OF
some trustworthy Durseryman at this point is
often of great value to the learner. Select
the most hardy kinds; the western prairie
farmer had better not waste time with tender
varieties. The most profitable apple is the
one that stands the severest tests--no matter
fiji is not so fine favored ms some Others il
it suits the climate and bears well keep it.
The Rambo, Wlnesap, Jeniton (Rawle's
Janet) and Ben Davis are good and do we'll in

Don't Lessen Work,

ID. A. Barker, of Genesee county, n. Y,
despairingly says:
"Can any one tell me how it is with all
our labor.saying machines we don't get any

hoe by hand, hoed the corn three times,
ploughed the summer fallow three times
moved the grass with scythe, and rsked il
all by hand, Graded all the standing wheat
etc. Then wehad time TO 60 fishing when
we wanted to, could 60 berrying when the
berries, were ripe, always went TO general
training" etc. Now l don't so fishing once
in ten years, we don't get berry unless we
buy them; in fact, don't get any leisure.
Can the editor or any Of his readers tell the
reason?"
I Mr.. Barker could have ap.
propriately alluded TO the sewing
machine in this connection. When
it was invented and Faithfully advertised az
doing the work of twenty hands, the rational
deduction was that woman would only be
required TO work it one day in twenty. Thi:
would have been the case had not other
things progressed in inverse proportion, and
our present day ladies unanimously elected
that their dresses require just exactly twen-
" times the work upon them that they did
before tho sewing machine was invented
Aud il the machine would do one hundred
times the amount these dresses would re
quire precisely that amount. And from o
woman's decision as to how she will make
her dress you may appeal all day and be
ruled out of order either unanimously or by
majority, plurality, or by an 8 to Z commits
