Manures I'm tho Soil.

In plant growth there are mechanical
manipulations as well as chemical. The
mechanical conditions pertain largely
to the soil, its supply of plant food and
moisture. A correspondent OF Rural
World says the active agents in pro-
ducing growth are nitrogen, oxygen,
hydrogen lair and water), phosphoric
acid, potash and sunshine. Few plants
grow we'll in the shade. A most valu-
able agent is humus-the straw-maker.
The great strawstacks of our country
are mainly humus; ditto haystacks
and cornstalks. These are the gross
products of annual plant growth. What
remains of rotted down straw pile or
its ashes is humus. This element must
exist in the soil or be supplied Il plant
growth is to be produced. The mechan-
ical action of humus in the soil is IA
vorable to large plant growth. 1t abb
serbs water and holds d like a sponge.
For this reason a straw Eulch is good
on all sandy soils-on all soils where
drouth is usual. Sandy soils can use
profitably a vast total of straw, If 1T is
worked under before the rains are over
in spring. or if spread on the surface
as a plant mulch. Even dry straw, or
leaves lying upon the surface, serves
to maintain the needed supply OF moist
ure, and does much toward stimulating
plant growth. The large growth OF
plants or grass, reeds, canes OF weeds

abundant presence of humus as to wa
ter. Low grounds get not only the hui
mus they produce annually, but much
of that washed from lplands. 1t is
very important that lands be so plowed
as to prevent washing, as it is the most
valuable particles which the water car
ries away. For this reason many slopes
near streams should rarely, If ever, be
plowed. The frozen lands of the north
are much less subject to loss from the
action of winter rains than bose far
Their south. When the plant has formed
the necessary elements to its growth,
and has approached the season for seed
production, it requires lime, saline mat
ter and the grasses above named to
perfect, stiffen and enable it to COM
plete the work Of reproduction. If
these are lacking in the soil, the plant
will be failure-will be barren, seed
less. Every farmer boy should under
stand these underlying principles of
plant growth. They exist in every
plants life, as in every animals, and
must be supplied to the plant where it
stands, as it cannot make journey
daily to the springs for water or to the
marsh for humus,

The Orchard.

Spread manure literally over the
orchards and in small fruit plantations
Manure is what is wanted, and if it ex-
lists in abundance in the neighborhood
Of the roots of plants, it is generally
safe to expect good things. Trees need
pruning. No doubt about that; but
there must be reason in every cut. The
great secret of successful pruning lies
in doing the work early and removing
surplus shoots and branches while yet
small There can surely be no wisdom
in permitting the twig and small shoot
to develop into a mighty limb before
removal is made, when the same never
should have been allowed to grow at
all. The head of tree needs to be
fairly open to admit sun and air for full
growth perfection of fruit. Further
more, moderately low head on tree
Is desirable inasmuch as it favors the
economical gathering of the crop of
fruit. 1t is considered good plan to
occasionally put. on trees a coat of
strong soft soap during a warm spell in
winter. 1t aids in destruction of in
sects and parasites that are harbored in
the back of the trunk and larger
branches. OF course the soap will
eventually be washed off by rains. The
eggs of the tent caterpillar are now to
be found readily upon the naked
branches Of the appletree. They appear
Ia bands glued on near the ends of
small twigs Cut off the twigs and
burn them, thus making sure of the de-
struction of the eggs. How many orch
ards appear. especially among our older
settlements, that are really improfit-
able and useless. The trees are starved,
run out. and show but a poor. mean
scraggly growth. Manure literally and
urune severely and Outlines these
seemingly worn trees will be induced
to take upon themselves a new lease of
life. Tillage, manure, care, are all i'm
portant with an orchard. A man can
not expect to receive paying crops IL
he does not work and labor and strive
and plan for the same. Do not hesi-
tate to give the orchard at least as
much attention as you would crop of
corn and potatoes. Not only is it wise
to take care of what trees farmer may
have, but it will usually be profitable
to set out new orchards. The man
who makes a business of orcharding
and uses all modern appliances to aid
him in his work practiced, follows the
best idea in spraying, care of trees,
marketing fruits, etc., and studies mod
ern papers and books on horticulture,
will, we think. find he has an industry
that year in and year out will yield as
good returns as any branch of agricul-
ture.

Government Inspection of Plants.

A law is now before Congress to Sc
cure the inspection Of all plants i'm
ported into this country and all plants
transported from one state to another.
Two of the sections are as follows:
Sec. 1. That the Secretary of Agricul-
ture be and he is hereby authorized at
the expense of the owner or owners to
place and retain in quarantine all trees,
plants, buds, cuttings, gratis, scions,
nursery stock and fruit, imported into
the United States at such ports as he
may designate for such purposes, and
under such conditions as he may, by
regulation prescribe, and that he may
appoint inspectors for the purpose of
examining such trees, plants, buds, cut
tings, gratis, scions, nursery stock and
fruit for the purpose Of ascertaining
whether they are affected by any dan
gerously injurious insect or disease, the
importation of which will be prejudi-
cial to the horticultural interests of the
United States, and provide for the
treatment of such when found neces-
sary.
Sec. s. That the Secretary of Agricul-
ture shall cause to be inspected and
properly treated, at the expense of the
owner or owners, prior to their ship
ment, all trees, plants, buds, cuttings,
gratis, scions and nursery stock, which
are subjects of interstate commerce,
and which are about to be transported
from one state or territory or the Dis
trict of Columbia into another state or
territory or the District of Columbia.

Feeding Cows When Dry.-It is now
pretty we'll established that it pays as
we'll to feed cows grain pretty literally
when dry as we'll as when giving milk
unless the pasture be especially good.
This is a fact that many dairymen lose
sight of and suffer for the neglect. A
COW that is profitable in the dairy Is
not a flesh former by any means. In
fact, she becomes quite poor as usual
thing while milking and in order to
enable her to stand the strain of this
depletion she should be made to gain
rapidly in flesh during the period that
she is dry. This. does not mean that
she should be fed highly on milk-pro-
ducing food just before calving, but II
merely means that after going dry she
should have liberal feeding until say
week before calving. If any fear is en-
tertained of her being too fat at calv-
ing time a good sharp purgative Just
before or after calving will obyiate any
trouble along that line.-So. Farm Ga
zette.

A VERY SERIOUS MATTER.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and Rate-Makiug,

1t would be a waste of words to at
tempt to explain how strangely and out
rageously the pretensions of the Com
mission in the Cincinnati Chicago
Freight Bureau case are at variance
with the fundamental principles of
American liberty. If the Government
should become invested with the power
of ratemaking it would be saluted by
lnnumerable demands, not only for the
cure of determinations, but also for the
removal of differences in passenger
rates, however well such charges might
be justified by differences of conditions.
The pertinacity of these demands would
be intense In the end, horizontal
ffeight tariffs would level commercial
cities, and enterprise become subject to
political rule in the face of all the econ
omies and equities of commerce. Such
a condition of affairs would inevitably
create serious political disturbances.
Another difficulty involved in such
proposed national administration of
commercial affairs presents itself. The
duties devolving upon the commission
are such as require a knowledge of law
and of judicial procedure Obviously the
cases in which men so equipped will
also have had large practical experience
in the complex and exceedingly difficult
work of framing freight classficatiOns
and of adjusting rates viii be exceed
| ingly rare. Besides, the personnel of
the commission is constantly changing.
| Taking into account deaths, removals
and designations the average length of
the official service of National Railroad
Commissioners has been about four
years only. How absurd then the idea
of imposing the duty of framing classi-
fications and establishing rates for all
the railroads of the United States upon
a tribunal of lawyers, not one of whom,
previously to his appointment as Com
missioner. had had any practical ex-
perience in the art of rate-making, or in
the highly technical work of railroad
traffic management. This is an art
which can only be acquired through a
considerable probationary term of serV-
ice and daily business contact with
men engaged in commerce and in all
the productive enterprises of the coun-
try.
Again. Governmental ratemaking
would inevitably result in Govern
mental ownership and control.
Who can depict the enormity of sad
ding upon our National Government
the political responsibilities which
would attach to the ownership and con-
troll of 1876 900 miles of railroad, and of
placing upon the pay-rOlls of the Gov
ernment 100000 railroad employees,
which number, under national admins
tration would undoubtedly be enor-
mously increased? Besides petitions
for the construction of new lines,
| backed by fierce political pressure,
would come up from States, cities ana
towns in all parts of the country. No
| Government officer or commission
would be able to Withstand this tor
rent of appeal although not one in ten
of such new lines might ever pay run
ming expenses. Such a policy Woulc

A Bit About Andree.

Herr Andree has made no report of
himself as yet, but there is nothing to
be gained by giving him up. He told
his relatives before he started that if he
was not heard from within two months
after he got off, it would probably be
year before he would be able to bring
in his reuort. The two months are
nearly up. but the fact that he faced
the possibility of spending year out
of reach of civilization is a hopeful con-
sideration. The longer he stays away,
the bigger his book will be when he
writes it
The newspapers, however, PRINT an
interesting rumor that a real Andree
pigeon has been caught, bearing the
message: "Eighty-two degrees passed.
Good journey northward. Andree.' the
date was illegible. Another message
said to have been brought by the same
bird. has not been disclosed. The whole
story at this writing needs conhrma-
tion.-Harper's Weekly.
