What Racing Costs.

A stable of horses in training must win
each season s75, 600 to 800, 900 before the
owner has cleared the expenses of stock
farm, yearling farm and racing stable. IL
no crack jockey is retained, but chances
are taken on securing the services OF tho
free lance Jockeys. Of course material
saving Is Effected. Most owners take these
chances because of the uncertainty of the
true racing form OF thCtr s-ycar- olds, for
nothing is so CALLING as TO see your jockey
getting his $4,000 OF $4,000 a year,
standing on the ground, with no horses
you can give him mount on. A jockey s
retainer runs all the way from 81, 900 TO
SIS, 600 year and in addition he Is paid

there seemed no way for human being to

Insect Parasites.

The entomologist often receives va
rious caterpillars upon the back OF
which occur small silken cocoons such
as is shown in figure 1. There are Ger
tain small insects which liveIeither
upon or within other insects, and these
are known as parasites, and even an in
sect which lives parasitic upon another
may have smaller species living upon
1T as parasite, and in this case the last
named is known as the secondary para
site All insects have their enemies
and the parasites play very important
role in keeping some of our injurious
species within certain limits.
The illustration given is that of the
tomato worm upon which are many
cocoons of parasite. When the tomato
worms are young a small parasite often
lays Its eggs upon the worms. These
eggs hatch into maggots which eat into
the worms and by the time the latter
are full grown the maggots have become

Soil ANALYSIS.
II. E. w.

1t is frequently the case that errone-
GUS ideas prevail as to the value Of soil
analysis in the selection of fertilizer.
A complete analysis of plant and of
the soil on which it grew do not show,
as is generally supposed, what kind and
quantity of fertilizer would give the
best results with that particular crop
On the soil in question.
The ash ingredients of plants are the
principal substances which they take
from the soil. Analyses Of the asa of
plants, which have grown on the same
soil, are often very different. A hasty
conclusion drawn from this might be
that plants have the power of selecting
from a soil just such food as is needed,
while, as matter of fact, plants have
no power to resist taking up certain
amount OF any soluble substance which
may come in contact with the roots un-
der favorable conditions; though il it
does not use such substances in the
building up OF its tissues, a compare
lively small amount will be taken in.
Again: The chemist has, as vet, very
limited ability to determine what
amount of the different substances in
the soil will be available to different
crops, or even to any special crop. The
chemist can easily determine what the
soil is composed Of and the total
amounts of the several substances pres
ent; he can also determine the total
amount OF ash in plants, and its compo-
sition; but the character of the fertil-
izers needed, as well as the amount
which should be applied, cannot be de-
duced from those data.
At present the best means of deter
mining the best fertilizer to be used is
to try various com binations of the diff
ferent fertilizing materials, and differ
ent quantities of each combination.
The cost of the fertilizer and the in
creased yield of tie crop will indicate
the most economical combination and
quantity. The results of field tests,
which every farmer can make for him
self, should be the principal guide in
the purchase and use of fertilizers if
the field experiments are properly
planned and conducted with accuracy.
Nothing succeeds like success" and
nothing shows SO we'll the most eco
nomical fertilizer as the actual deter.
mination, by comparative tests, OF that
combination and quantity which gives
the largest yield at the least cost.

the seep from the hII1s and leaving the
bottom field in condition for work fully
two weeks earlier than before the tile
was laid.
Several other fields have been drained
and the work has been equally success
full in all.
When the drains have been less than
five hundred feet in length we have
found three-inch tile ample for draining
the ground quickly and thoroughly, but
for longer runs we have found it neces-
sary to use four-inch for the lower part
OF the drains, and this has been of suf-
longest runs, about quarter of mile.
The tile have been put into the ground
to an average depth Of three and one
half feet and the expense of the work,
including the cost of tile, digging the
bitches, laying and covering the tile
has been ffty-one cents per running
rod. Three-inch tile have COST includ-
ing freight, about $500 per thousand
feet, which is nearly three times the
cost Of such tile in Illinois and other
Northern States. Almost any clay
which will make good brick will make
good tile. The demand for tile is con-
stantly increasing, fully one-half the
lands in the State would be greatly i'm
proved by its use, and could it be had
at the same prices as in the North,
thousands Of miles would be laid in the
next five years. We have tried several
other methods for draining land, but
none has been so satisfactory as is the
use of tile. Brush drains work we'll
for few years, but as their construc-
ton requires the digging of very
large ditch they are expensive, and
they last but few years. Drains made
with plank cost fully as much as do tile
drains, and those made by laying three
poles or rails in the bottom of the ditch
are but little cheaper. Open bitches
take too much land, require too much
WAN IL ohoii CdEop anu dT6 100 lnCOn-
venient In cultivating and harvesting
the crop, to be used except for main
drains in the middle of field.
Thorough draining with tile will
often cost as much as the present worth
OF the land, but when the work is once
done, it is done forever. The
Station fields which have been tile
drained have increased their annual
yield fully fifty per cent as result of
the work, and such drains will be found
profitable investment on all soils
which remain wet until late in the
spring on account of their compact sub
soil, or which are rendered heavy and
sour" by continued seepage from sur
hill lands. There is scarcely
r plantation in the state which would
not be benefited by the use Of tile on at
least some part OF it, though we do not
think it would be advisable for Missis-
'lppi planters to practice the thorough
drainage Of all fields which is so often
seen in Illinois and Indiana. Here it
S rarely needed except on very low
spots and for seepy hillsldes.
