The products of the decay Of the
vegetable matter furnished by green
manuring exert very beneficial effect
upon the soil. Among the most i'm.
portant of these products is carbonic
acid. This acid helps to keep the
soil chemically active, that is, TO
produce beneficial chemical changes
which result in making more food
available. This acid, further, helps
largely to dissolve the useful constit-
uents of the soil, especially the lime
and phosphates, thus bringing them
within the reach of subsequent crops.
1t also attacks the stones and rocks of
the soil, helping to disintegrate them.
This action is especially important in
the case of all rocks and stones con-
tanning lime.
The green manuring crop is useful,
furthermore, because while it occupies
the land the conditions are more
favorable for those processes of fer
mentation which exert beneficial in
iluence upon the soil. These pro-
cesses are favored by the shade fur
nished by the crop, by the restricted
circulation of the air and by the more
uniform soil temperature which the
occupying of the land by q crop
secures. The incorporation Of the
vegetable matter of the green crop in
the soil may be the means of warming
it. The darker color resulting from
the presence of humus favors the ab.
sorption Of heat from the sun, and the
process of decay being in its final
effect precisely like combustion by
fire, helps to raile the temperature OF
the soil.-Professor w. =. Brooks, in
New England Homestead.

The improvements that are being
made to the Baltimore and Ohio South
western Railroad between Parkers-
burg and East st. Louis are being
pushed rapidly to completion. Seven
teen thousand tons of So 10. steel rail
have been placed in the track and
there are still $4,000 tons to come, de-
livery being delayed on account of
rash OF orders at the mills. The com
pany has also put in 1876 miles of gravel
ballast and expects to get out 200 miles
more during the season and II Is hoped
by fall that the track will rank as the
best In the west. A great many grade
reductions and changes in line are a so
being made between Cincinnati and st.
Louis. The purpose is 10 make a uni
from one half of one per cent. grade be-
tween Cincinnati and st. Louis, as
well as to eliminate a large amount OF
Objectionable curvature. AT one point,
for instance. the line is to be shortened

One OF the most pleasant things
put being an Annapolis cadet Is the
|ance they have of going on summer
iises. The second class men are now
oard an old-fashioned sailing vessel,
as was used by our navy before
had steam warships. These young
IN are required to do the work of
bmmon sailors; in fact, they do every
thing there Is to be done on the boat.
They started in June. and will return
In September. They stop for week
or so at Plymouth, England, and ar
rangements have been made for them
to spend n few days in London. Then
they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the
boys are wondering how Spain's neigh
bors will receive them After that they
go to Gibraltar, and then home again.
or course there Is good deal of fun
to be got out of the trip. and n great
deal TO see; but II is n part OF their
four years course Mt the naval acad-
emy, and they have to work hard
scrubblng decks and taking In sails.
and the slightest disobedience Is pun
ished. Before they left this country
they stopped OFF Hampton Roads for n
few days and went through n lot of
drilling, including the "deserting of the
ship" In this drill the crew puts pro-
visions in the small boats. launch them
and row away toward land, just as they
would have to do IL the ship took fire
