into detail. In this climate and latitude
our experience has been that hay should
not be baled until it has gone through
the ''sweat," although, if intended to be
USED without much delay, it might be
very loosely baled after it had been wei!
sun-cured. In Texas and in some OF
the southern portions of the United
States, it may be baled very sat;sfac-
torily direct from the meadow. In
South America, particularly in the Ar
gentine Republic, users of our machines
bale their alfalfa while it is almost
green. without apparent injury. We
are quite sure, however. that such a
course could not be pursued with any
but disastrous results in this climate
and latitude of the United States. as the
hay would be inclined to mold.

the soil are disintegrated and mixed
under the influence of the oxygen. the
water, the carbonic acid. and the nitric
acid of the air. Again, the atmospheric
nitrogen is assimilable by the soil in the
shape of ammonia. nitates. and the
amide like matters of humus.
The rate of disintegration, rs we'll as
that of nitrification. depends in part up
On the chemical and physical character
of the soil, and partly upon the temper
allure and meteorological conditions.
Moreover, the soil lying in rough in
terfurrows has been subjected to the
action of frost; it is in its upper layers
so broken up and divided in all direc-
tons by the powerful expansion of the
water when converted into ice as to be
reduced to the condition of the greatest
possible tineness, recognized and so
much desired by the farmer under the
term mellowness.
1t has consequently attained that de-
gree of pulverization and porosity
which, with an adequate degree of mois-
ture, affords asolid standing ground for
the young plant, while at the same
time enough air for the development of
the germ can penetrate the surface soil,
and in the upper layers nutritive ma
terial for the young plant dissolved by
the moisture of winter is always pres

son not to pillow the land at all in the
spring, but to put in the seeds without
further preparation than a previous
narrowing.
The vigorous development of plants
depends far less upon the weight and
size of the seed than upon the depth
to which il is covered with earth and up
on the stores of nourishment which it
finds in its first period of life.-Andreyv

CAPABLE FARM HELP.
In Many Parts of the Country 1t Is Very
Difficult to Secure.

The scarcity of good hands for the
farm in many parts of the country has
been the subject of much comment, but
no way has been devised to supply the
demand at fair rate of wages, despite
the fact that the cities and towns are
filed with able-bodied men who are
anxious for some means of earning Il
livelihood.
The truth is that these men, willing
as many of them undoubtedly are, do
not make good farm hands. Three o.
four decades ago. when brute force was
one of the greatest requirements for
farm work, any man with broad back
and brawny arms could be utilized on
the farm to good advantage. but now it
takes more skilled labor to run farm,
and men who have not learned the trade
are next to useless. We want more
farmers these days and fewer roust-
abouts.
We never see the groups, the hun
dreds Of idling men and boys on the
street corners without thinking: 'Oh,
the pity of it," The most Of them are

No Royal Road 10 wealth.

The farmer who wants to get rich
by farming must expect TO work hard
for a number of years. Brains are a
good thing to have, and are not to be
despised, but the successful farmer
finds it necessary to use all the brains
and about all the bodily strength he
has in order to succeed. The writer
never knew but one man who worked
too hard; he said in his last sickness:
Some people blamed me for working
too hard, but / took pleasure in it,"
No person should work so hard during
the day that he can't sleep at night
and feel rested in the morning. What
many farmers need is not less land, but
more enthusiasm in their business and
more thorough cultivation Of their
acres.--Rural World
