Humus in Soil.-No soil can be made

Humus in Soil.-No soil can be made
to produce good croa- without the pres
ence of a fair supply of humus or de-
cayed vegetable matter. Freshly
cleared lands, and lands which have
not been plowed for many years, usual"
" contain an abundance of humus, but
when lands have long been cultivated
in hoed crops like corn and cotton, the
humus becomes exhausted and must
be replaced before they can be made
profitable. Just how this humus shall
be supplied must depend on the cir
cumstances Of each plantation. When
It can be had in sufficient quantity
there is nc better material for this pur'
nose than is stable manure, but as this
can seldom be secured in sufficient
amounts, recourse must be had te
other materials.

Cost OF Raising Corn in Kansas.

Kansas is certainly great corn state.
Statistics show that the average an
nual yield for all the thirty-four years,
bad seasons and good, since 1861, has
been twenty-seven bushels per acre for
the entire state, ranging in different
years from nine to forty-eight and four
fifths bushels. The product for twenty
five years ending with 1895 has had an
annual home value averaging more
than SCI 100000, and total value IN
that time exceeding $776,00O,OO0.
Secretary Coburn in the March quar-
terly report of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, presents detailed showing
from siXty-eight longtime extensive
growers, in forty-iive counties which
last year produced 14O,OOO,OOO bushels,
giving from their experience "On suCh
a basis as others can safely accept

the Academy in his carriage he was
conducted through the basement and
kitchen of the hotel and out of the rear
to Il side street through which he
walked to the Academy. He managed
TO make his way to the stage entrance
and got inside after an experience with
the crowd that he will long remember.
When he appeared on the stage his re-
ception was tremendous, the cheering
lasting several minutes.
