AGRICULTURAL.
The Hygiene of Flowing.

Few of us probably grasp the impor-
lance, from an economic point of view,
of the process Of putrefaction of organ
ic matter constantly going on in the
soil. 1t is one of the great factors in
maintaining the circulation OF matter, a
law on which the perpetuity of life de-
ponds. There s in this universe only
a certain amount of matter suitable for
the formation of new animal and veg
etable life, hence to permit of the for
nation of new forms of such life it is
necessary that the dead matter should
become broken up and rendered avail
able for this purpose. Were this law
imperative the result would, OF course,
be that the earth's surface would be-
come encountered with the accumula-
ton or dead organic matter TO so great
an extent that animal life would be inn
possible. Hence it is that, in this res
pect, bacteria perform services to hu-
manity, as we'll as to all other forms of
life, OF incalcuable value. In connec-
ton with theories indicated above there
comes the satisfaction that when ma
terial which may be offensive to the
mind and senses is brought In contact
with earth these same germs transform
it into plant food, which is exempt
from unpleasant conditions and may be
assimilsted by plants without partaking
of the nature of the original matter.
Truly, the methods of nature are won
derful to contemplated An essential
feature in blowing s that the broken
connection of the inverted furrow-slice
with the subsoil will soon be repaired.
It is we'll known that the moisture in
the soil comes to the surface by me ans
of natural law called capillary attrac
ton. The same process may be OBJ
served in sponge where part of it is
in water, or where bit of blotting pa
per is used to take up spilled ink.
Strawy manure plowed under will in a
dry season hinder the reuniting of top
and bottom soil, and the capillary at
