Physically it may lie distinguished

1t is coarser in the grain than beef. In
this respect 1t resembles bull beef more

considered to be half way between the
fiavors of beef and game; it is some
thing like the flavor of hare.
One reason why horse flesh is as a rule
darker in color than beef is that horses

from injury. disease, or old age, are not

moist than the fat of beef. 1t soon
melts and soon becomes rancid. Conse-

butcher from loss of unsold meat.
Lastly, horse flesh can be distin-
guished from beef by its chemical char

Depth OF Good SON.

The opinions OF farmers differ.
though not moro widely than the
facts on which they are based, as to
the depth that soil may be profit
ably cultivated. In the best soils
plant food is found deeper than the
plow can ever so. This, however, is
mainly mineral. Vegetable matters
collect near the surface. ii they are
deep, as they sometimes are, the low.
er portions are generally filled with
stagnant water. Some settlers on
black muck soil in the west thought
they had secured land OF inexhausti-
bic fertility, mainly because ii was
black to a great depth. They found
after a while that however deem
their muck beds. only the part thar
could be thoroughly dried during
the growing season was Of any use
to them. What such land needs most
Is thorough drainage. AS soon as it
gets this, however the muck bed be-
comes thinner, as its carbon burns by
exposure to sun and mir. Then comes
the severest test. IL the original soil
IS deficit in mineral plant food the
lacking clements must soon be sun
piled. But whether poor or rich in
mineral plant food, supplies OF potash
and phosphate will be needed. How
ever poor the vegetable matter NAV
be, its decomposition will liberate
ammonia enough togo long way to-
ward supplying grain crops, provided
is furnished. But where
ever the subsoil is sandy, potash is
also probably needed. Wood ashes
are nearly always beneficial to muck
lands, as the caustic potash they con-
tam hastens decomposition OF vege-
table food, besides making phosphate

was founded on the erroneous suppo-

were confined within narrow space
of comparatively few inches around

earth in narrow hillock was Just
what was wanted. On riding through
