As the result OF the analyses OF loc
samples of soils, the Minnesota station
has issued bulletin OF which the fol-
lowing is summary:

grain crops only without any system OF
rotation or other treatment 10 telling
severely upon the original stock OF half
decomposed animal and vegetable mat
ters, and nitrogen. Soils which have
produced grain crops exclusively for ten
or fifteen years contain from third to
a half less humus and nitrogen than
adjoining soils that have never been
plowed.
3. Soils which have been cropped
until the organic matters and humus
have been materially decreased re-
tain less water and dry out more
rapidly than when there is Q large
amount OF organic matter present In
the soil.

contain larger amount OF phosphstes

PRACTICAL RESULTS.
The First Year In Poultry Raising Cause
Many Surprises.

The First Year In Poultry Raising Causes
Many Surprises.
The best informed persons, those
who may have taken advan tage Of the
experience Of others, and who may
have resorted to all the literature TO
be obtained, will also find when they
have passed through the FIRST year. that
there were a thousand and one facts
that could not be detailed or explained.
In fact, many things occur with one
which may not happen with others,
and which may not occur again, but
every transaction is contribution to
the knowledge of the poultry man.
1t is better to expect nothing the
frst year. Something will be gained,
however, and that is experience. In
the management of large numbers
there are many matters which will
happen and which cannot be discovered
except by daily observation. Every
poultryman. whether beginner or
not, is capable OF originating some
thing, and he is as liable to make dis
covery that will revolutionize all pre-
vious theories and methods as is the
veteran. The beginner who has read
poultry literature has, however, q
great advantage over him who has de-
pended on experience alone for litera-
ture is really the published experience
| of others. There is no pursuit, how
ever, that does not require the practice
of the theories to make them more IA
miliar and better understood. In the
| poultry business one has to understand
not a flock only, but the individual
| mem bers of the flock.
Practical results always point to sue
cess The first year may be an entire
failure, with loss of time, capital and
labor, but the cause of the failure may
be discovered, and knowledge of the
cause may be of more value than the
pecuuiary loss. One must not estimate
the results by the operations OF q
single year Hundreds of farmers have
failed with crops one year and been
successful the next. owing to more ia
vorable conditions the second year; and
the poultryman who has failed, yet
discovered the cause and learned
more about how to manage, may, in
the end, be benefited by his losses,
as he will be more careful and be better
informed In regard to future opera.

THE LADY AND THE BRUTE,
4 Plucky Woman's Heroic Defense Of q
Fallen Horse.

A Plucky Woman's Heroic Defense Of a
Fallen Horse.
Sleighs drawn by four horses were
employed on the Wellington street
route. The heavily loaded sleigh was
coming cityward. One of the horses
next the vehicle fell. The driver lashed
1t with his whip. Then he kicked it.
Finally he swore at it. But he did not
get down to extricate the animal from
the harness which held it prisoner.
The men in the sleigh buried their
chins In their overcoats and indulged
the contemplation of fatalism as a
philosophy which removes every pas
sion from the breast. Suddenly a lady.
clad in scalskin sacq ue, got out, and,
going up to the driver, said to him in
an imperative way: "Give me that
whip" The driver was dazed. In a
stupefied way he handed over the
whip. "Now," said the little lady, 'if
you touch that horse again will let
you feel the weig hit of this whip across
your shoulders Get down this mo
ment and cut the harness and help the
horse to RISE" The driver stared at
her. The women in the sleigh tit
tered, the men hung their heads. "Get
down this moment" said the lady,
shaking the whip over the driver.
The latter mechanically obeyed. The
harness was loosened, the horse was
raised to its feet. The lady put her
hand in her satchel, brought forth
some biscuits, and treated the whole
four horses to one each. The effect
was magical The hopeless cynicism
OF their poor faces gave place to hope
and love and gratitude. Then the
lady, very white, but as resolute as
Joan OF Arc ever was, entered the
sleigh. The men still hung their heads

FOR HAULING HAY.

A Cheap and Simple Rack and Some Of
Its Advantages.
The hayrack shown In the illustra-
ton Is one which used last summer.
1t is 16 feet long and feet wide Two
inch lumber Is used for the sills and
cross pieces, the former being inches
and the latter inches in width. Three
boards are nailed or bolted on top of
the cross pieces on each side Of the
rack. A 2x4 scantling long enough to
reach from the outer edge Of tho rack
to the inside of the boards Is bolted
edgewise on top Of the two hind cross
pieces. An inch strip must be placed
upon the hind cross piece to bring it up
to level with the one in front Of the
hind wheel. The cross pieces are now
high enough so that when the boards
are placed upon them they will be out
of the way Of the wheel. This makes
rack which is nearly level, being only
4 inches higher behind than in front
This rack is advantageous In that the
distance between the sills is smaller at

the rack, thus allowing shorter turns

WILL BE A STORMY CAUCUS
4 VERY LIVELY CONTEST IS PRE-
 DICTED FOR TO-DAf.

It Will be Between Those Members of
 the House Who Wish . Prompt Settle
 ment of tho Tarif Issuss and Those
 Who Desire to Wait for the Conforoes.
 Washington, Aug. s.-Immediately after the house adjourned to-day MT. Holman of Indiana Issued notice stating that there would be caucus held in the hall of the house at 8 p. m. tomorrow. The call for the caucus was circulated one hour this afternoon and 1t received the signatures of fifty three democrats. Among the signers were Messrs. Springer, Hooker, Boat ner, sperry, Geary and DeForest.
 The names of none of the oonferees, the speaker or the other democratic members of the committee on rules ap- pear.
 Mir. Outhwaite said 1t would probably be stormy caucus. It Is expected there will be a contest between those who desire prompt settlement of the
 
 houses and those who are willing to await the action of the house conferees. no matter how long the conference may be prolonged. Mir. Springer was asked If resolution would be offered instruct ing the house conferees to make the best terms possible with the senate conferees without regard to the nature of the compromise. He replied that he could not tell what action the caucus might take, but he and many others thought that some agreement should be reached.
 An effort will be made to have the house conferees attend the caucus and acquaint those present with all they have done and what they hope to ac- complish. Those who have been in strumental in securing the caucus insist that they have no purpose of embar- rassing the conferees. Those who op- pose the caucus insist that 1t is in- spired in malice and that it Is practical ly fire in the rear of the true friends of tariff reform.

 The sun shone brightly to-day and light wind swept across the park. The track was in better condition than on any day heretofore during the meet and the 1000 spectators were prepared for fast racing and close finishes. Alar had no difficulty in winning the 2:23 trot and captured 1t in three straight heats. Frank L. seemed dangerous in couple of heats, but did not have enough speed for the Alcantara mare. J. M. D. won the 2.7 trot after losing the first two heats because of the con- dition of his driver, Bramley. who was not at his best. Turner was substitu- ted and went on and took the next three heats and the race.
 The 2:30 pace furnished the real rac- ing of the day and when business was suspended for the day Ella Eddy, Daisy Despatch and Roscoe each had taken two heats In the fourth heat Daisy went the route in PIP, a remark able performance for a. green pacer.
