A GENEROUS WAY OF REMEM.
BERING EMPLOYEES, AND Also YE
EDITOR.-FOr years past it has
been the custom of the Hannis
Distilling Company to remember
all their Employees ON Christmas
eve with a fine turkey. This year,
as usual, they were up to the
standard of former years, and
have made glad the hearts of all
who have been sharing their
past business. Yesterday num-
bers of fine turkey were carried
in different directions, and to-
morrow this liberal act will be
remembered by the faithful
"stand-bys" in a way that will
more closely attach them to the
Company's interests in the flu
ture. Such liberaIity is deserv.
ing of praise, and we feel safe
in saying the company, ant
manager, Hon. Alex. Parks, will
not have occasion to regret it,
The World.
So say we all of us.

Good Soil for CroDs.

The value of land for agricultural
purposes solely may be said to depend
wholly on IFS fertility and power to
produce crops from its accumulated
supply of plant food While the com
position of a soil is one of the conditions
on which its fertility depends, the latter
does not always depend on the quantity
of the organic matter it contains. Min
eral matter is of equally agricultural
Importance, and where soil contains
both in we'll balanced proportions,
which, by their decay and SOlubility, fit
them for nOurishing crops, such may
be said to be naturally fertile
soils. The importance of the ab-
sOrDtiYe power of the soil, says
the chemist of the Indiana sta
ton, can hardly be overestimatcd. BY
means of this power those mineral in
gradients OF plant food, of which most
soil contains but little, are held in
form too inSOluble to allow Of rapid loss
by drainage, and still soluble enough TO
answer the needs of vegetation, pro-
ylded the store is large enough. The
only important plant food liable to be-
deficient in the soil which does not come
under the influence of absorption is
nitrogen ia the form of salts of nitric
acid. and nature has made wise
provision for this element by binding
it in the form of organic bodies
which ntrify but slowly and by
supplying each year a small quantity
from the atmosphere. BY means
of the abS0rptiVe power of the soil,
the farmer, if he puts on an excess Of
potash OF phoSphoric acid as fertilizer,
does not lose it. but is able to reap the
benefit from it In the next years crop.
If it were not for this power the best
method for applying fertilizers would be
much more complicated problem than
it is at present, as it would be necessary
to apply these just at the proper season
ana in nicely regulated amounts to in
sure against loss. Hence we may con-
clude that liberal dressings of phos-
phOric acid and potash may he used
without danger of serious loss, and that
the phosphoric acid and potash not used
by one crop will be retained by the soil
and be valuable for following crops.
