Collecting Soils for Analysis.

First. Record Carefully the nor
NAL vegetation, trees, herbs, grass,
etc, growing upon the location
selected for collecting the samples;
avoid spots of excessive growth.
Second. The soil selected
should be, as far as possible, in its
normal condition, not modified by
recent applications of manure, or
changed by the transporting act
Ion of ,eithe- water or wind. To
eliminate accidental variations In
the soil, select spots In five or six
different places in the field, which
seem to be fair averages of the
soil, and collect a sample from each
spot, according to directions, here
matter to be described, and mix
them thoroughly.
Third. After selecting the
spots for taking the soil samples,
remove from them all plants grow
ing upon them by pulling them up
by the roots. Next scrape the
surface lightly 10 remove any part
ly decayed vegetable matter.
Fourth. Make vertical section
with spade into the soil at each
spot from which the rubbish has
been removed to a depth of two
feet. On the sides Of the hole OBJ
serve very carefully where the
change of color occurs which di-
vides the soil from the subsoil, and
make note of the depth (by meas
urement) at which this change
takes place. Take out about a
peck of the earth above this limit
from each of the spots selected tor
taking the sample; then carefully
mix, by constant and vigorous stir
ring, all the different portions of
the surface soil thus collected, and
which are to continue the average
sample. When the sample is thor
oughly mixed, select as sample
about five pounds from various
portions of the mixed earth and
place it either in a clean wooden
box, or else, in a good strong bag
"a shot bag will suffice-and pre-
pare for shipment.
Fifth. Proceed in the same
manner to collect a sample of sub
soil to depth of one foot, imme-
diately underneath the spots from
which the samples of surface soil
were taken. 1t is desirable also
to know what Constitutes the sub.
soil to depth of three feet, as
questions of drainage, etc, depend
very largely on the substratum; so
after collecting the sample accord
ing to the above directions for
analysis. the soil collector should
make notes upon this point. A
specimen of any rock from which
the soil was evidently formed
should be sent along in the box or
bag with the subsoil.
Sixth. Each sample Il. e. soil
and subsidy should be plainly
labeled and forwarded by express,
il possible, to A. A. Persons,
Chemist Florida Experiment Sta
ton, Lake City, Fla. A letter,
giving in detail all information
sought in the instructions, should
be mailed at the same time.

The Story of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., Ii. p,
who for thirty-two years was at tho
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
Of physicians, which for several gener-
atoms has furnished more distin-
guished medical meii than any other
family in America. Ills father was
Dr.. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years a conspicuous member;
one brother, Or. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and themethod
Of making extensions Of fractured
Limits ty. adhesive strips; another
brother, Dr.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon i'd Columbian College
Hospital during the wav, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth Colleges,
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, Including d new and
unique mode of reducing me.ae =
phalangcal dislocation, opening O. -,
sccss at Lip-joint, etc., etc.
At the early ago of twenty-four his
extraordinary skill and success in over.
coming disease had already attracted
the attention Of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve.
,pent was tho discovery Of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be.
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under tho name Of Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation Of this remarkable
medical discovery consists Of simple
New England roots and herbs, and tho
original family recipe for it has de-
cccndcd to tie long line Of Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it
whenever needed in the carly days Of
its history, and after tho scattering Of
tie Puritan families to remote loeali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all OF which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure

Why We Need Two En rs.

Sound travels by waves radiating
from central point of disturbance, just
as waves radiate when stone is
dropped into still water. So far as
the hearing of each individual is con-
cerned, these waves move in direct line
from the cause of the sound to his ear,
the impact being the greatest in the
car nearest to the source. This being
the case, a person who has totally lost
the sense of hearing in one ear. al
though he may imagine that the defect
is of little consequence, cannot locate
the direction of ound to save his life,
even when the center of disturbance is
quite near him.
