ELECTRIC soIL-TEsTER.
Clever Invention for Determining the
Amount or Moisture.

Clever Invention for Determining the
Amount OF Moisture.
The well-known fact that damn
earth Is better conductor of cleo
tricity than dry earth is the basis OF an
apparatus invented by Prof. Milton
Whitney. chief of the division of soils
In the agricultural department, which
he thinks will be a valuable aid In pro-
ducing the best results from the cult.
vation OF soil. The plates, construct
ed OF the material which forms the car
bon points in arc lights. arc sunk In the
ground ut any desired depth. A cur
rent OF electricity is then passed from
one to the other, and an instrument
measures in ohms tho resistance which
the soil between tho plates makes TO
the passage of the current. A table
prepared from the results OF many ex-
periments shows at glance the per-
centage OF moisture i'm the soil.
The apparatus will be especially VAL
liable In dollhouse culture. in Prof.
Whitney's opinion, for in that the con-
ditions are best for regulating the
proportion of moisture, but the amount
OF moisture in the fields can be repu-
lated to greater degree by cultiya-
ton. This is particularly so in Sec
tons of the country where irrigation
Is practiced- by the use OF this appar-
atus, which is simple and compar-
atively Inexpensive, the farmer can ac-
curately determine what crop is best
adapted to the soil of each field, and
thus make his labor and investment
count for the most in results. From
series of experiments conducted last
summer Prof Whitney has practically
demonstrated that when pasture land
shows less than cHs-thiI'i per cent. OF
moisture IL has reached the danger
line. and a severe drought is immi-
nent.

This Lucrative nusiness-
A good many people are prejudiced
against ducks. because of the notion
TINT they make mud and are noisy, and
are not az profitable as chickens. This
II great mistake. for ducks cnn be
kept a. easily and IN as cleanly man.
ner as any other fowls. II they are fur
nlkhed with proper quarters.
Pekin or Rouan ducks do not need
water. except plentiful supply TO
drink, and this can be furnished In such
a way as TO keep them from getting into
Il. as they surely viii II they can. We
always give our ducks tub TO battle In.
and when they have had their bath
empty the tub for that day.
Ducks produce as many eggs as do
hens. and In most Of places their eggs
sell for two cents a dozen more than
hens eggs, because OF their greater
size. IL they have been well kept
through the winter. they will begin TO
lay about the middle OF February. and
continue until they have produced
about Is dozen. when the old ones may
be sold, leaving the spring hatch for
rext seasons work.
Ducks will thrive on the coarsest
kind Of food, and the Young are very
hardy, as they are never bothered with
lice or diseases OF the kind that often
attack young chickens. A duck once
Matched is liable TO live to maturity on
food that chic X would die on in a
week.
When sold ducks always sell for more
by the pound than chickens do, and
there is no reason to believe that
pound of duck costs more than pound
OF chicken.
We have named PelSins and Rouens.
The Aylesburys are just as valuable,
hut pure-bred ones are very rare, most
OF them having been crossed with Pelxin
blood.
We are very much In favor of the
farmers paying more attention TO
ducks than they show disposition to

Washington, Jan. I5..-Theretll be
coon an authoritative assertioaf the
Monroe doctrine. which will bo spe-
ciiic in its definitions that ltafter
neither England nor any otheDreign
power eau affect to misundcrSad IL.
Senator Cushmnn X. Davis, oiinne-
sofa, has finished his draft Of thesolu-
ton TO be submitted TO the full setlng
of the foreign Affairs committee day.
The principle laid down by ps:,.cHtt
Monroe that the United States bl not
tolerate any fresh acquisitions ter
rltory on this continent by y Eu-
iopean power will be reafllrmednd. In
tact, amplified.
IL will be declared that this entry
will protect itself from the possibility
OF being hemmed in by colonicsf Eu-
ropean powers. The theory / the
policy of the United States bog 10
keep free from entangling nllnces
abroad, IL follows that this can DIV be
accomplished by limiting Eupean
sovereignty in America to r.sent
limits. This will be ciearly stssd In
Senator Davis paper. which wi cite
the original declarations of Pretlent
Monroe. and declare the posith OF
congress on their application.
The important part of the pnp@ will
be the formal declaration that Il on
position OF the United States , ex-
tension OF European domain I'm hcr-
lea extends quite as much To tbemes-
tion OF purchase as OF conqueI 1t
viii be declared positively thatthis
country will not allow any Amdcan
nation either to sell or give awaSany

power. American nations will btpro-
tected In their rights TO combinc,r TO
acquire territory by purchase oicon-
quest from each other, but not to uien-
ate their land TO any foreign powt.
Specinl attention has been gisn TO
the point made by President Clevshnd
that II Venezuela and Great Brinln
could come together on the boundary
question this country would have f.th-
ing TO say. The declaration by thalen-
ate will especially strengthen the hands
OF the commission. In that IL viii as
sumo that all boundary disputes be-
tween American stutes and foreign bow
