ont exposing large surface to the
strong drying effects of the spring
winds. and thus occasioning the loss
from the soil by evaporation ola quan-
tity Of water proportional to the in
crease of surface exposed. BY the
reciprocal action Of the atmosphere
and the soil the latter keeps up its store
of available nutritive matters. The
silicates soluble with difficulty slowly
yield alkalies, limo and magnesia In
soluble forms: the sulphides are slow
ly converted into sulphates, and gem
orally the minerals of the soil are dis
integrated and mixed under the in
fuence of the oxygen, the water. the
carbonic acid, and the nitric acid OF
the air. Again. the atmospheric nitro
gen is assimilable by the soil in the
shape of ammonia. nitrades. and the
amide-like matters of humus-
The rate of d isintegration, as well
as that of nutrifcation, depends in
part upon the chemical character OF
the soil, and partly upon the tempera-
ture and meteorological conditions
Moreover, the soil lying in rough
! r-furrows has been subjected to
the action of frost; it is in its upper
layers so broken up and divided in all
directions by the powerful expansion
of the water when converted into ice,
as to be reduced to the condition OF
the greatest possible fneness, recog'
nized and so much desired by the
farmer under the term mellowness-

degree of pulverization and porosity

FREE COINAGE.
What the Result would BE with I'm
limited Silver.

What the Result would Be with On'
limited Silver.
Free coinage of gold now exists ANY
private person can take gold bullion to
the minis and receive in exchange
coined gold dollar for every 25.S grams
of standard gold in his bullion. II his
bullion is above standard the mint Of
ficers may charge for the alloy. Free
coinage of silver would be similar. Any
owner of bullion could have 1T coined,
or receive in exchange coined dollar
for every 4l211 grains of standard sill
yer in his bullion. and the coined dol
lars would be unlimited legal tender.
A correspondent asks also whether
it is true that silver dollars drift back
to the governments vaults, and why
they do; and how the government gets
them into circulation.
1t is true that silver dollars drift
back to the governments vaults The
reason is that Americans are nverse to
keeping on hand bulky coius in largo
quantities. Silver dollars are receiv-
able for government dues, and the gov
eminent must take them when offered
by its debtors. The government gets
silver dollars into circulation by pay
/ ing them ont to its creditors; the cred-
itors being, of course, its civil en-
ployes, contractors, pensioners, SOL
| diers, sailors and others to whom IL I'M
dertalxes to pay money.
Another correspondent asks ques-
ton which may as well be answered
here. II is whether, in case we adopt
ed free coinage at i6 to 1, all the sill
yer in the world could be "dumped'
upon us.
There is a difference between the
coined silver of France, for Instance,
and that of Mexico. The coined SILVER
of France would not be shipped here
because the coins are maintained at .
gold valuation, just as our silver coins
are maintained under our present
laws. France has not coined any sill
yer for nearly twenty years, and IT.
silver coins are regarded as toker
money based on large gold stock.
i Mexican dollars would hardly b'
dumped" upon us, but Mexico Is
4 great bullion producing country an'
undoubtedly could, unless we adopte;
, a prohibitive silver tariff, dump
very large amount of silver in th-'
. shape into the United States ant
, have it coined into legal tender dol
, lars.
! If our adoption of free silver coin
age raised the value of the silver dol
; lar here above the value of an equa
amount of silver in the coins of MeS
; leo, then Mexican coined dollar
; would, in the absence of tariff, b
converted into bullion and forwards
to our mints.-St- Louis Republic.

HERE AND THERE.

Farmers must learn that the best
is always the cheapest; that few dol
lars' difference in the service fee OF
good horse and an ordinary one is never
worth considering, and that valuable
colt costs no more to raise than an in
ferior one.
Turkeys are an especially valua-
bic crop ON the farm, and are easily
raised if one knows how. Five hens
and gobbler should produce 100 birds
every year, worth anywhere from u
to SO each. Not mere than 10 per cent.
of this should be the outlay for ex-
penses-
Sheep raising has been during the
last two years a discnuraging indus
try, and many have given it up entire
lv. This is mistake, as a small flock
properly handled is great benefit to
the farm. The sheep like short pas.
turage, and as weed destroyers they
have no equal.
There are farms in New Mexico
that have been irrigated for ESQ years,
and they are to-day as good as now.
The Pima Indians of Arizona, we are
told. have cultivated the same lands
for 500 years, and nothing has been ap.
plied but the water which freshened
and fertilized the fields

A FRUIT HOUSE.
some Hints to Those Who Have Fruit to
sStOre.

Some Hints to Those Who Have Fruit to
rStore.
In some localities it is rather difficult
to secure good cellar without consld-
cradle work. Often draining by dig
cling trench is necessary; and, when
this is the case it will often pay to
build fruithouse above the ground,
rather than to run the risk of water
flooding in and damaging the fruit and
vegetables. fruithouse, ii well
built. so as to be frost-proof, Is much
more convenient than acellar in many
ways, but good care must be taken in
doing the work if good results are to
be secured
Two by six-inch studding will be the
best; that is, not less than this should
be used. They can be placed two feet
apart. and it is usually best to brace
the corners Eight feet is plenty high,
and in most cases six will be sufficient.
1t should be built close to the ground,
SO that it can lie banked up readily on
all sides. On the outside rough boards
can be nailed on first and over this
LAYER of tarred paper or heavy straw
1 pager. anu ticu Vic WhO'S SAAos~~- -
carefully weatherboarded.
| When it can be done, it will be best
to fill the space between the studding
with sawdust. taking care to fill In
tightly. Rough boards can be nailed on
the inside. and over this tarred paper
should again be tackled.
Overhead a tight layer OF boards
should be put, and on them good
LAYER of sawdust. A chimney, or place
for ventilation, should be provided.
Care should be taken to make tight;
the door and ventilator should
be all the openings. Good, close
fitting doors, one to open outside
and one inside, will help. Boxes
or bins should be built inside and
about four inches away from the
! wall. This will give air space between
the wall and the fruit. To make
doubly sure, an old stove set In the
room in which little fire may be
! made in the severest wcater. will be
found a benefit, as very little IRE
| will lessen very materially the danger
| of damage. A house of this kind. in
winter like the last one, will keel
, fruit and vegetables without freezing
: but in winters such as we sometimes
, have, a little fire will be necessary

SOUND MONEY ssAYING.

Gen. Hardin's free silver convic-
lions are understood to be based on
the resolution of the bartenders' union

Tribune.
One of the real converts to sound
money is Gov. Matthews. He was

Int now he is for international bime-
tallism. and until that can be secured
hc IA opposed to the free coinage OF
silver. This avowal made the free
silver committee which waited on him
recently exceeding sorrowfuL : In
dianapolis Journal.
so long as silverites contend that
free coinage will bring silver bullion
to a parity with gold at the present
LEGAL ratio, they cannot consistently
complain of the statement that only
the owners of silver mines will be
benefited by it. If they are correct in
that assumption they are entirely
wrong in assuming that free coinage
will advance prices. As they claim
both, they are clearly Inconsistent
