The Soil InexhauStible.

Some speculative philosophers have
of late years, predicted that the time
will come when the soil of the world
will be exhausted and the human race
gradually become extinct on our plan
ct for want OF food-be starved out"
as it were-but the American Agricul-
surist does not take readily to this
melancholy view Of the case. 1t says:
"One.foot in depth of a fairly good
agricultural soil contains 1000
pounds OF phosphoric acid; 5000
pounds OF potash; 10000 pounds of
nitrogen and lime, magnesia, soda,
chlorine, sulphur and silica to afford
food for all the crops which these
three elements can feed per acre. After
farmers, by careful and skilled cultiva
tion have exhausted all this great store
of plant food in the uppermost foot of
this soil, which will require several cen
turtles, will the soil be exhausted? Not
at all. AS theland is gradually changed
into vegetable growth, and the surface
isremoved as farm crops, as it gradual
ly deepens, the subsoil which contains
the very same elements becomes fitted
for plant food. And this the imper-
ishable nature of matter applies to
the soil, which can never be exhausted
during all the ages that are to come.
All that mankind has to do is to use
its arts, under the instruction OF
science to develop this latent fertility
of the soil, and to go on feeding the
human race until the end, if an end
ever shall come, when the earth will
no longer exist as fit habit alton for
mankind"

must never be eaten with vinegar,
which is poisn to the rheumatic pa

ed a short time before making a pub
lie address will enable q speaker
troubled with hoarsness to fulfill his
task with ease. The use of this root
is rapidly extending, and as it's cultiva-
ton is exceedingly easy it is profit
able crop to grow.
A few practical hints on the best
method Of cultivating it are given by
a correspondent OF the American Gull
tivator, who says that the soil for it's
cultivation should be deep, mellow
and very rich, so that the roots will
be able to reach good size. The
land should be thrown into ridges
several feet apart, after being raked
smooth, and the sets placed in the
hollow made by a wheel marker.
These sets are about an inch in length,
and they can be obtained from any
old bed or purchased from market
gardeners. They should not be too
large or they will branch and send up
lnnumerable roots to sap away the
strength of the stalk.
The sets should /. be planted out in
May or June, and covered only about
an inch with the SOIL Catch crops Of
beets, lettuce and spinach can be
planted along with the horse-radish,
which can be gathered up before the
horse-radish has made much he ad-
way.
The roots can be left in the ground
until spring, as they are quite hardy
and not much affected by the FROST;
but if dug in the fall and kept in pits
through the winter the flavor and ap-
pearance will be better.

Experiments in Keeping Eggs.


At the New York State Agricultural
Experiment Station a few Of the
methods OF packing eggs dry for keep
| ing were tested in 1890. The eggs
were all wiped when fresh with rag
saturated with fat or oil, in which had
been mixed some antiseptic, and pack
led tightly in salt, bran, etc. Eggs
packed during April and May, in salt,
which had been wiped in cottonseed
oil, to which had been added boracic
acid, kept from four to five months,
with loss OF nearly one-third, the
quality of those saved not being good.
Eggs packed after the same prelimi-
nary handling in bran were all spoiled
after four months.
Better success was had with eggs
packed in salt during March and April,
after wiping with vaseline, to which
salicylic acid had been added. These
kept four or five months without loss,
and the quality after four months
was much superior to that OF ordinary
lined eggs.
The eggs, in all these trials, were
kept in a barn cellar, the ordinary
temperature of which varied from 60
to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and each
box was turned once every two days.
Little difference was observed in the
keeping OF the fertile and the infertile
eggs, and no difference was noticeable
in the keeping qualities OF eggs from
different fowls or from those under
different rations.
