Few Words Regarding the Productive
Capacity of the Soil.

A Few Words Regarding the Productive
Capacity of the Soil.
Before estimating upon the prospect
i've yield of location some considera-
ton must be given that which the crops
will take from the soil and the amount
of fertilizing material necessary for Sc
curing the results desired. There are
sections in which two. and even three,
crops may be grown in one year upon
the same soil, nor is it difficult matter
to grow two crops in nearly all por-
lions of the United States. provided the
soil is rendered capable of withstanding
the double taxation upon it. We often
hear of the exhaustion of the soil. Such
a term should become obsolete. True
scientific agriculture does not admit of
soil exhaustion. Progress is the order
of the day, and he who undertakes
farming without determining to have
each succeeding year witness his soil in
crease in fertility, no matter what kind
of crops are grown, will have some
thing to learn in regard to his calling.
In the use of piece of land we have
the advantage of the material upon
which to operate. If we take from it
we must add to it. 1t is only the agent
for our use, and can only be expected
to produce by changing the complexion
and character of the substances given it
for the purposes desired. Hence, we
may grow an early crop of some quick
ly maturing plants. to be followed by
those that may be planted later in the
season. And by good cultivation and
the systematic use of fertilizing food,
there s no limit known as yet regard
ing the productive eapac,ty OF ne soil.

DEVELOPMENT OF BIRDS.
The Narrow Gap Existing Between Then
and the Reptile Family.

| The Narrow Gap Existing Between Them
and the Reptile Family.
| A birds feather was thrown on the
screen at the beginning of Prof. Bick-
| more's recent lecture to the teachers.
| The feather was so magnified that it APP
peared more than three feet in length,
showing the manner in which each barb
| was fastened and braced into position,
| and the nerves that passed into the
quilts A series of colored plates showed
the many varieties of birds which
formed the subject of the lecture in
their natural colors.
Prof Bickmore said thatfeathers were
divided into two classes-the contour
feathers and the down, the barbs of
which were not braced. but turned in
any direction. Birds, unlike reptiles,
are warm-blooded Prof. Agassiz
taught that birds were a distinct and
isolated class in the animal creation.
In the short interval since Agassizs
death ornithologists have discovered,
mainly through fossil remains. that
birds are closely related to reptiles in
their structure and the gap showing the
direct connection between the two
is now small. One of these
fossil birds discovered in Ger
many was purchased by the British
Museum for small fortune. A picture
of it was exhibited as restored by Prof
Owens, showing body heightened out
into tail that without the wings closely
resembled reptiles body. A variety
having teeth is found in the fossils in
the Rocky mountains. The teeth are
not for masticating food, but for Selling
and retaining the prey. Those species
like the ostrich have not developed the
ability to fly. but use their wings mainly
to assist in running or swimming. have
flat breasts, while the species marked by
great power of wing have developed
keel-shaped breast for particular ar
rangement of the muscles. Among
those of the fiat breast were the great
auks, which were found in large num-
bers on the Atlantic coast formerly, but
within the last half century have be-
come almost extinct. They were as
large as geese and the markets were sup
piled with them in the last century. The
museum has one of the last that has been
captured, for which S616 dollars was
paid.
Another species is still in existence
which is almost without wings and the
feathers are like coarse hair. The differ
ence between hair and feathers Prof.
Rickmore showed on the screen. The
