Green Crops Plowed Under Souring the
Soil-The Remedy.
''Will the plowing in of millet or
other green crops ever sour the soil?
Will green crops plowed under ever in
iure the succeeding crop? If so, under
what conditions?" This query was sub
rnitted to Char Is @. Flagg, Rhode
Island station, for answer Here is his
reply as reported by Rural New Yorker:
have never plowed under millet,
but have several times turned under
quite heavy crops of winter rye, and
Immediately planted field corn, with
good results as to the corn crop, which,
however, is not very susceptible to acid
conditions of soil. The soil of one par
ticular field was sandy loan, more
sandy at the north end than at the
south. Twenty or more years previous
to the time Of my cultivation of the
field about an acre of the sandy portion
at the north end was dressed with wood
ashes at the rate of about 100 bushels
per acre. | plowed under two crops of
rye in successive years, growing corn

then seeded the field to grass and clover
and was surprised at the time with an
excellent catch of clover on the sandy
north end, and almost no clover and a
very thin stand of grass upon the ap-
parently better soil of the south end of
the field. ! now believe the diffe, hnce
in the catch of clover and the growth
of grass to have been due to the lime
applied in the ashes score of years
previously.
The plowing in of large quantity
Of green vegetation and its decay with
in the soil must necessarily greatly in
crease the humic and other organic
acids, and in a soil lacking in bases
tend to "sour" it. The remedy is plain
supply a bNse for the acids, and air
slaked lime, wood ashes, leached or un-
leached. mari, stable manures, etc., ac-
cording to expense, will serve the pur
pose.l
Storer, in his Agriculture, says:
"Green manuring is method of fertil
ization that needs to be used with care.
1t will probably serve a better purpose
in districts where the soils are cal
careous than in regions of barren sill
ceous gravels. If the condition of the
soil is favorable as regards moisture and
texture, green manuring might be a
valuable resource, but if the conditions
are unfavorable the plowing in of green
crops might do more harm than good.
Is it not more than possible that an
abundance of bases In the caloareous
soils and poverty of bases in the barren
siliceous gravels may be the point upon
which hinges the success of green ma
nuring in the one case and its failure in
the other?

HoWE's HITS.

1t is terribly hard to do the right thing
1t always seems an effort for some men
to be good natured.
Even if man has nerve he dIslikes for
occasion to arise for using It, a
Some people have no appreciation of
anything beyond something to eat.
When man Is silent in quarrel with
his wife, it Is because there is refuge in It,
We have seen good many wet hens in
our time, but have never yet seen one that
was mad.
Trying to economize makes enemies As
long as you turn your money loose you
are good fellow.
A musical laugh is one brought forth
by one of your own jokes All other laughs
are more or less grating.
There are some men who don't know
what greatness is until they have some
one working under them.
We have only one objection to old fash
ioned people-when you see anything you
like particularly to eat they say it in not
good" for you.

BUSY BEES.

Drones do not live SO long as workers.
Keep extracted honey in an open vessel.
Do not forget to supply water for the
bees
Queenless swarms nearly always build
drone comb.
The best time to extract the honey Is Just
as the bees begin capping.
The queens of the Italians ar0 more pro-
Iifio than those of other breeds.
In every case where comb Is to be built
furnish the bees with foundation.
In hiving swarns all washes for the hive
are useless. Simply have it clean.
By extracting in good season uneapping
Is avoided, and the honey is thick and ripe.
Always use full sheets of foundation in
the brood frames. They may be used in
sections.
Early in the morning is good time to
take off honey. 1t has then had all night
for evaporation.
1t is useless to expect bees to work in
supers when they have space untitled in
the body Of the hive.
In order to have honey free from comb
and other impurities strain it through a
coarse cloth or wire sieve.
Smoking or any such handling excites
the bees and causes them to uncap the
honev.-St. Louis Republic.

Rect surar Factories.

With the increasing interest in beet
sugar production Consul Muth's report
to the department is timely. Writing
from Magdeburg, Germany. the consul
says: Factories should be erected only
in localities where it has been demon
strated beyond doubt that sugar beets
can be grown successfully. The factory
must be easily accessible to the farmers
aud should. therefore, be situated in
the heart of the district from which it
draws its beets. All the material need
ed in the manufacture should either be
close at hand or easily procurable. Be
sides beets the principal materials
needed TO run sugar factory are water,
fuel and limestone; water to wash the
beets and limestone for the publication
Of the beet juices.

BUSINESS.

In progress there is originality. In
originality there is progress.
No new thing was ever built by who'll
ly conservative builder.
No new thing was ever built by u who'll
ly original builder.
Success in business is neither in over
originality nor in oyerconservstism.
The monument of success is made OF
equal parts of conservatism and progressive
originality.
The fool can be original. The fool can
be conservative.
1t is the wise man who uses both of
these successful elements, so mixing them
that the good of each enhances the value
Of the other and the bad In each iissolves

Stafford, Ala, noticed some time ago
that one of his cows was not giving her

her, when, to his surprise, he saw four
pigs out of a litter of six sitting under
the COW sucking her teats He says the

very sad, but it was evident that
through her 80 years she had retained
her emotions and her affections.

was possibly 80, had not 1t seemed to
her waste of time to spare an hour

church suffices for that and that if they
always pay their pew rent and put
something in the plate or box or basket

they are all right and have fair start

that if you do not love your soul is in
danger. If you do not love some human
