SUBSOILlNG, OR NOT.
Why Farmers Should Aim to Make Theil
Soils Deeper and Richer.

Soils Deeper and Richer.
Prof. Sanborn has been making a
series of experiments by subsoiling.
The result is that it all depends on the
circumstances, just like deep and shall
low blowing. Subsoiling, it must be
understood. is properly breaking up
and mellowing the sub-stratum of the
earth, and not turning it up to the
surface and turning the soil down I'M
der. There is rarely a case where this
practice would be desirable. 1t is al
most always a great damage to land,
and it will take years forit to recover its
former fertility. The greatest advan-
tage in subsOiling is to increase the
amount of moisture and to make it
available for the plants. This condition
always tells most favorably in the time
of a drought, but it is proportionately Il
disadvantage in wet season. 1t is
then always an injury, and these two
conditions are shown by the expert
ments Of Prof. Sanborn. Plants grow
near the surface. or rather. mainly feed
near the surface. Their natural home
is in the soil, and this extends but n
few inches beneath the surface. 1t
is the vegetable matter-humus, as
chemists call it, which fits the soil
for plant growth. 1t is more important
then that the farmer should increase
as much us possible the amount of Or
ganic matter in the soil. This is the
foundation of growth rather than in a
deeply stirred or broken up amount of
the ground. If it could be known be-
forehand that the season would be dry.
then subsoiling would be the thing to
do, so that the surplus waters of the
spring might remain in the more open
ground, and be available when the
drought should come. A deep soil is
a good absorbent, and it should be the
farmers aim to make the soil deeper
and richer. There is more real i'm
provement in this than in subsoiling
the undercrust. A rich soil is always
just the thing, but SUBSIDIZED land may
bring more moisture than is required,
and this is always damage.
Where the. sub-strata are open, or
the land is coarse and porous, subsoil-
ing is always an injury. The moisture
goes down. and takes with it the
strength of the upper strata. Such
lands should be compacted rather than
made more open and porous. A mel
low surface is always good condition
for plant growth, although some crops
are benefited by making the land
firmer. and when such is the case. the
needful compacting should be done
Air, light and heat are essentials for
growth. and these prerequisites must
not be lost sight of. d. CARTS, in
Country Gentleman.

Umbstaetter, Aug. 23, 1885.

LONDON, Eng, aug. "a, 1850.
In the chancery division of the high court
of justice, London, Vice Chancellor Bacon
has given his decision in favor of The
Charles A. Vogeler Company of Baltimore,
Maryland, in the action brought by that
house against II. Churchill and Company
of Brisbane, Queensland. The case which
has been in progress here since September,
1884, grew out of an attempt of Churchill
and Company to register trade mark con-
tanning the words st. Patrick Oil in con-
nection with a medicinal preparation.
This was promptly opposed by the Vogeler
Company, who, while admitting that the
term and device which were sought to be
registered by the Australian firm were in
no respect identical TO the we'll known st.
Jacobs Oil trade marks, contended, how
ever. that sufficient similarity existed be-
tween the term St. Patricks applied by
Churchill and Company and st. Jacobs as
used by the Vogeler Company to cause con-
fusion in the minds of the public and lead
to purchasers being deceived. In support
of this position they submitted an over
whelming amount of evidence from En-
glish, American and Australian sources
with the result stated. Under the decision
of the court Churchill and Company can
not register their mark and must pay costs

suit won by the Vogeler Company in En-

a BOON TO MANKIND.

Merits OF . Patented Pancake which VIII
Make Boarding Houses. EDdursble.
We have just received, direct from,
the Patent Office at Washington, 9
patent on q newly-discovered digesti-
BILE pancake, that is sure to be boon
and blessing to the travelling public.
The weary travelling drummer has
been imposed upon by the hotel mana
gers altogether too much.
The proud and naughty hotel keeper
has fed his guests with the pale pan
cake SO often, that it is beginning to tell
on the health of the people.
That is why we have patented pan
cake that will be asuccess as an article
of food, and good lung protector at
the same time.
That is why. we have been studying
natural science and Don Pedro SanchO
for the last few days.
Our patented pancake is the combi-
nation of talent and the pulverized corn
meal and sour milk, and it surely is q
glittering success.
Our p. p. is the only pancake that
will not water-soak, and taste like .
dry boot sole.
1t is built in thorough system of
duplication of parts, so that it can be
replaced as fast as the original disap-
pears.
It is so constructed that it can be
taken apart without the aid of giant
powder or crOwbar, and the expense
of making is only tritle.
1t will not rust.
1t has sober occupied set OF feat
ures, and great affection for gastric
juice and the duodenum.
Our patented pancake will be intro
duced into all the first-class hotels, to
take the place of the old style griddle
cake, with stuff of dish-rags and shoe
nails.
We wish to appoint agents to intn
duce our p. p. to the notice of hotel
managers, and will allow good COM
mission to the right parties.
By an ingenious and adjustable de
vice, it can bemanufactured at one
half the cost of the ordinary cake.
while it is the very perfection of beauty
and tastefulness.
We invite the attention of cheap
clearinghouse keepers, and all those
who are interested in a pure, whole.
some article of food, feeling sure that
we have an invention of real merit

The Farmers Watchword

"Weed out" is an excellent watch
word in the abstract for every BODY.
The farmer can readily appreciate its
significance, because his happiness,
health and prosperity all depend large
ly upon the vigor and persistency with
which the wedding out process is car
ried on. He must be constantly at il
in order to make his business pay. In
herd and flock the scrubs and runts
must be weeded out, and so the same
process goes on in every department of
farm work. Taking the term in its
broadest construction, it is without
doubt well worthy to become the
watcAword of every farmer who de-
sires to reach the highest excellence as
an agriculturist, and to reap the
richest rewards for labor bestowed

Haliowed by trust and prayer,
Waiting to lay her armor down.
