analysis. while others. Of perhaps equal
prominence, at least in other lines, do
not place so much reliance upon it. All
agree, however. that something Is to be
gained by careful chemical study OF a
SOIL. Even those who do not agree
wholly with Hilgard concede that,
whilst chemical analysis fails to in
dicate the exact degree of availability
OF soil constituents, 1t will at least re-
veal the approximate total quantity OF
the several constituents present there
In, and In this indicating either the suf
hciency or deficiency of the several soil
essentials, 1t proves itself very helpful
to the agrlculturist, even though /,
does fail to show the exact degree Of
availability of single soil constituent.
1t must be conceded that IL 1t does this
only, chemical analysis Is of sufficient
Importance to warrant it's being UNDER
taken, for IL it can tell farmer that
his soil contains a sufficient quantity
of one element and is probably entirely
lacking in another, 1t at least affords
him rational basis for inaugurating
series of practical soil-test expert
ments with fertilizers that will enable
him to answer the question definitely
and thus save himself the risk of prr-
chasing and applying certain fertilizers
on particular soil that are not needed
by 1t and that would prove a useless
expenditure II applied. 1t will be seen
that the weak point in an analysis is
that, while 1t reveals what soil actu-
ally contains and In what proportions
the several constituents are present,
it does not state with absolute accuracy
just how much of that plant food is in
an available form, that is, in a form
suited for plant assimilation. This Is
an important matter, for, other things
being equal, the actual productiveness
OF any soil will depend not so much
upon the total amount Of plant food 1t
contains as upon the proportion OF that
food which is in an available form. And
until it Is possible for an analysis to
reveal with much accuracy the degree
of liability of any plant food essen
tial, it cannot be said that chemical
methods are entirely perfected and ca
pable of furnishing information in all
respects satisfactory. 1t is encouraging
to note that many chemists are at the
present time engaged in perfecting
methods with this object in view.
1t frequently happens that when soils
are barren their failure to produce is
due to the presence of certain poison
Gus substances. such as sulphate or sui
phid of iron. When such is the case, a
chemical analysis will reveal the fact
and chemistry will provide remedy.

a slight change. The first thing noted was
tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some life left in his helpless body.
Next came a little feeling in his limbs
This extended, followed by pricking sensa-

Soil for Pears.

Clay soil is considered best for pear
culture, and still 1t should not be too
tenacious and sticky. A pear orchard
will not thrive so well, says Green's
Fruit Grower, on any soil that has not
a clay subsoil. Next to a friable clay
loan, a gravel loan is most desirable.
A light, sandy soil is the least desirable
of any, and yet pears can be grown on
sandy soil. Standard pears can be
planted twenty to thirty feet apart, &C
cording to circumstances and habits OF
growth. If planted thirty feet apart.
dwarf pears can be planted between
the rows each way. l prefer a stand
ard pear for general orchard culture,
for the reason that they require less
fertility and cultivation, and for the
further reason that they are longer liv-
ed and make larger and more perma-
nent trees. When the question came
up for a vote, however before the
Western New York Horticultural socie-
ty, we found that the dwarf pear was
the favorite for orchard planting or for
garden. Dwarf pears have the advan-
tage of coming into earlier bearing.
The dwarf pear is not short lived. 1t
requires more pruning and more atten-
ton than the standard pear Many va
rieties do better on the dwarf pear than
on the standard. l should not locate
a pear orchard or any other orchard in
low piece of ground. l should locate
on hillside. The pear Is easily trans
planted. transplant several thousand
every spring, and they do not lose on
an average one out Of one hundred
trees. Pear trees come into bearing
earlier than the apple.

Amid the discomforts OF life and the
fullness Thereof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
SO much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest. In
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism, neuralgia, sciatica or lum-
bago, or with the minor ailments OF
sprains and bruises, or Of soreness and
stiffness, the efficacy of ST. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in SO many
complete and perfect cures make it
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should we stand on the
order OF going for it, and not go at
once? In numberless cases the agra
vations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

Poultry Education.

At last people are coming to see that
poultry culture is a branch of agricul-
ture worthy of serious attention. Some
have always so considered 1t, but, sad
to relate, the great mass of American
farmers have held 1t in the light of
woman's work and left it to the care
of the wife and children. Now the
study of poultry is becoming quite com
mon in Europe and is being taken up
in this country. Even one of our ag-
ricultural experiment colleges has
opened a course for the teaching of
poultry science. In England the work
has already obtained a good footing
1t is carried on in a variety of ways.
the most important of which is the
county councils, similar to our farmers
institutes in some particulars. OF
course, at these councils poultry is only
one of the branches taught. But as
they are arranged in weekly classes, 1t
gives the instructors better chance
to impress the principles of the science.
In France there rs a school devoted en-
tirely to the teaching of poultry cul-
ture and kindred branches.

Intensive Culture.-In France, &C.
cording to authorities who criticise Ca
madam agriculture from this stand
point, the art of fertilizing the soil is
carried to such an extent that, in case
OF tenant farming. the tenant usually
reserves the right to carry the surface
OF the soil OF his farm or garden away
with him on the expiration of his
lease. This is the more practicable in
that country because of excellent
means of communication, the usual
smallness of the lots cultivated, and
the fact that the French peasantry sell
dom wander far from the neighborhood
in which they were born. The returns
from single acre of land cultivated in
the vicinity of Paris by the highest de-
gree OF intensive tillage often amount
to eight or even ten fold more than
