which practically prevents the roots
from growing through and limits them
to four inches. But when the ploR ~
breaks twelve inches, it gets below this
hard pan, and permits the roots to
reach the porous earth below, and go
on down as deeply as they wish to 60.
As we have stated above, in such cases
they will grow about four feet or forty
eight inches. Four divides into forty
eight twelve times. Thus we see the
Importance Of deep breaking.
But there is another great gain.
Plants are largely water; and cannot
grow without water. The deep prep
aration enables the roots to reach the
earth water, almost always abundant
few feet below. The four inch prep
aration does not do this. Hence, every
little drouth irjures the shallow plow.
ing, but not the deep soil. Thus we
have great gain, both in the food and
water supply by deep preparation.
CLOVER AND PEAS.
But the mechanical and chemical
condition of the soil, for growing the
small grain can be greatly improved
by having grown crop of pea vines or
clover before the small grain. Either
of these crops gather nitrogen from the
atmosphere, and store it in available
form in the soil. They also penetrate
the soil deeply in all directions with
roots which rot quickly, and leave the
earth loose and filed humus. just in
the best possible condition for small
grain to do it's best. The shading, the
decaying stubble, the porous soil and
moisture consequent give warm root
bed through the cold winter. Thus
winter killing is largely prevented,
and vigorous growth promoted. Re
peated vigorous narrowing will now
complete the mechanical condition.
SEEDING AND FERTILIZING.
Select some good sound seed, already
acclimated, clear Of foreign pests of all
kinds. Soak we'll in a solution of blue,
stone so as to kill fungi spores and mi
crobes. Sow one bushel per acre. II
put in the proper depth-about one
and q half inches-this will give as
many plants as an acre should have.
Sow with drill if you can. II you
cannot, then by hand. and ploW in as
above, one and half to two inches.
Use through the drill or spread broad
cast four hundred or more pounds per
acre of acid phosphate and muriate of
potash Or kainit) mixed thus, 400
pounds acid phosphate, muriate Of pot,
ash 130 pounds (or kainit 400 pounds).
This is needed to give health to the
plants and fullness to the grain. The
cover and pea vines will have furnished
all the needed ammonia. Now roll the
soil firm, and then run over with a
smoothing harrow so as to prevent
crusting, and you are ready to await
results, And the results will not dis
appoint you. Particularly will this
be true, if you have selected the right
time to SOW. Here in the South, this
time is from the goth Of September
to the tst of November.
Later will not make the largest yields
or the heaviest grains. Wheat is a
biennial, needing the fall season of one
year to make the roots, and the spring
season ot the next year to produce the
tops and the grain. If the roofing
season has been cut short, the spring
yield will be cut short, and vice versa.

The Practical Side of "Expanslon.' >

The Practical Side of "ExpanslOn."
We are not under the slightest
obligations to make haste in pro-
pounding theory of the nature OF
the new relations between the
Philippines and the United States,
nor yet to elaborate any compre-
hensive scheme of government.
We must drop the French model
and at this point take up English
methods. We need not make
definitions at all about the status of
the Philippines, but simply proceed
to do any particular work that may
require to be done, and otherwise
do nothing at all. First, if the
treaty should be ratified we must
make contract with private ship
ping companies for taking the
Spanish soldiers back home at our
expense. That will involve our
persuading the insurgents to give
| up their Spanish prisoners. Gener-
al Otis and Admiral Dewey would
seem to be OF the opinion that they
can arrange that item of business
without trouble. After the prison
ers are yielded up and are all
packed off for Spain the insurgents
will have to be pursuaded to dis
band. Gentlemen in Boston will
not be able to lend much assistance
at this point, but it is highly prob
able that men now in the Philip
pines or that general part of the
world-such as Admiral Dewey,
Consul Wildman, of Hong Kong,
General Otis, and others who might
be named-can arrange very salts
factorily with Aguinaldo and his
people. There is little reason to
suppose that we should need for
any length of time to retain in the
Philippines the services of more
than quarter OF the American
troops who are now there. There
are plenty of men who have in
times past served in the native
regiments with the Spanish army
many of whom have also subse-
quently served in the insurgent
ranks-who can be readily formed
into all excellent body of military
police. And since the people are
quite certain to be very peaceably
inclined and are ready to believe in
the benevolence of tie mission oi
United States, the maintenance o.
order is not going to be seriously
difficult. 1t will not be a yer,
battling task to improve the admin
istration of justice as between mar
and man, nor to simplify the exist.
ing system of taxation-removins
needless burdens from agriculture
and business and replacing the cor
rupt and rapacious methods of th,
J Spaniards with honest and fai
! Anglo-Saxon methods. Thes
matters, with the policing, are tn
principal ones that for some littl
time to come will have to be at
) tended to. They are matters G
precisely the same nature as thos
which without any fuss whateve
Gen. Leonard Wood has beel

in this country will be delighted t
give the people of the Philippine
the large possible control OF thei

Speaking of expansion and the
safety of the cornerstone of the
republic the New Orleans Picayune
says, and rightly, too: "'rhe con-
stitution has never been strained q,
nor even stretched, in acquiring
new territory or in making new
states. II is equal to every emer-
gency in maintaining free institu-

liberty and those free institutions. :"
