The Question Of Soilinq.

What is soilingG By soiling is meant the
feeding of green food to farm stock in the
stable or barnyard during the grazing
season, instead of allowing them to gather
their own food from the pastures. In some
countries of Europe, writes Waldo Brown,
the system has been generally adopted and
some experiments have been made in this
country which have shown that 1t is prac-
ticebe here as elsewhere. At present IL
would not perhaps, be wise or economical
for majority Of our farmers to adopt this
plan but doubtless there are many who
would ind great profit from It. Our sys-
tenn of farming has been wasteful and
improvident as consequence OF
cheap lands and the boundless "out west
TO which the farmer could emigrate after
he had used up the available plant food on
two or three farms. Hitherto the question
in farming has been too generally, How can
we get the greatest profit from this soil with
the least labor9 and but little thought has
been given to restoring the fertility re-
moved. / believe that soiling could
be now adopted with profit on
lands worth $50 or more per
acre, and especially on small fertile farms.
and would result in such saving of expense
and Increase OF profit and produotiveness of
soil as TO far overbalance the objections to
thesystem. The advantages claimed by the
advocates Of soiling are many.
1t is claimed that the same amount or land
required to pasture one animal will produce
food enough for two or three or more If the
food is cut and taken to them. This would
not, perhaps, be true If grass only was de-
pended upon for food, but even with this
the difference would be largely in favor of
soillng, as much of the grass is injured by
the tramping Of the stock, by their lying
down on 1t and soiling it by their drop
pings, liquid or solid, and the heavier the
growth the greater will be the waste.
Under the soiling system, says a distin-
guished writer, the farmer does not depend
on grass alone, but can grow other succu-
lent crops, and often two or more on
the same land in a season. Mr.. Peer in his
book on soiling illustrates the saving of land
by increasing the amount Of stock it will
carry and the increased productiveness
which the manure from the stock will give,
thus: "As in q crowded city they add to
the capacity Of their houses and factories
by building up story above story, SO the
farmers of the older countries have been
obliged to build up their soil till they have
farms two, three or four stories high; that
is to say, they have increased the product
iveness Of the soil until one acre is made to
produce what formerly required three or
FOUR"
Hon. Josiah Quincy, who was the first
advocate Of soiling in this country, wrote
on this subject in 1920: "My experiment.
has resulted in relation to the amount of
land needed in this: l have kept the same
amount OF stool; by soilipg on seventeen

STRAWBERRIES.

without question, the strawberry is a

This statement OF Brady's is not borne out

A Wild Mans Love story.

The Imperial Of Madrid, Spain. publishes a
remarkable story concerning wild man who
has been captured near the desert track TO Cape
de Gaia IN Northwestern Spain.
During the latter part of August this man
was seen several times by hunters. He was
tall dressed in skins, and his beard and the hair
of his head hung to his knees. Efforts to speak
with him were vain, as he always ran when ap-
preached. Last week q search party was
organized to capture him, and, after two days
work, succeeded. The man is about 90 years
old, and has been in the desert twenty-five
years.
He told his captors that he was a native of
Galicla, spain, and at the age Of "a had worked
in a large stocking factory in 1ugo He and
the daughter of his employer loved each other
but the parents of the girl forbade the marriage.
The young couple eloped. few miles from
home he overtaken by the manufacturer
and two friends, who beat the young man
severely and carried off the daughter.
The young man was locked up while recover
ing from his njuries so he could not communi-
cate with the girl. When he reRaiued his lib.
erty she had married a Lugo banker. He
started to leave the country on an emiRrant
steamship but was shipwrecked off Cape de-
Gaia. AL persisted except himself, and he be-
came convinced that providence intended that
he should b. a recluse. Consequently he had
lived in the desert avoiding the society of man
ever since.
Inquiries in Lugo. the Imperial adds, tend to
prove the truth OF the wild mans story.

Junep B, r. j,
The earliest crop Of cabbage to be grown
south OF latitude SO or SO is from plants set
out in the fall. Seeds are sown late in Sep
TENDER or early In October, and the plants
grown therefrom are set out in November.
These plants can be raised in the open
ground, but it is necessary to make the seed
beds near well or other source of water,
80 that the beds can be watered regularly.
Sow seeds of two or three varieties such
as the Wirmingstadt, Improved Bruins
WICK" Florida Header and "Drumhead
Savoy and push the young plants by
rapid cultivation. When large enough set
out In shallow burrows and as soon as the
coolest weather is over give them rapid
cultivation. Set out another crop late in
January and through February.
Cabbages TO do hrst-rate require very
heavy manurinR. The fall set plants
should be lopdressed around with some good
compost made out of cotton seed and stable
manure, and also a mixture of ashes and
phosphate made to them. We have never
seen land too rich for cabbages. On the
other hand, much the larger part Of all gar
deps is too poor to make fine heads OF them.
Good seeds, good soil, good cultivation are
the three essentials Of successful cabbage
culture.

Mr.. Thornycroft, the famous build
er of torpedo boats, has devised an
apparatus for steadying ships at sea
and has completed a series of expert
ments which are said to prove that
rolling may be diminished very
greatly without extrayagant cost and
with comparatively small sacrifice of
cargo space. Some of the fastest
liners ON the Atlantic ocean have
been known to roll through an angle
of 40 degs. each way-a performance
of woeful significance to persons af.
ficted by seasickness. Mr.. Thorny-
croft's device, which it would be diff
ficult to describe clearly and briefly
in detail, consists of shifting weight
moved by hydraulic power and con
trolled by the oscillation of short and
long period pendulums.
This gear was fitted to a steam
yacht of 230 tons displacement. and
a roll of Is degs. was at once reduced
to one of 0 degs. The weight EN-
ployed was eight tons, or 81 per cent.

the vessel happened to be one of

far smaller weight, in proportion,

The stories of throwing it around a

Is that the Australians, using clubs

IN throwing them, and that man
