We find II Is necessary to keep UP the

facture humus pretty rapidly, but Its
gradual decay and consequent action
In liberating soil ingredients Is too

prey to the st~eel-jawed iron and alu-

weak acids resulting from the destruc-
ton Of the humus cannot readily re-
lease II. The silicic acid also suffers
in a like manner and as a result we
have such a poorly balanced plant food

predicate. and our straw but poorly
supports what grain is formed.

Clever Eskimo Dogs.

Talk about dogs" said the old
Alaska miner, whose remarks have
been published In the New York Sun,
why. these ours OF high and low de-
gree In the east are not In 1t when
compared with the Alaska mamaloot.
From puppyhood up he takes to har-
ness like a duck to water. He goes at
ii with vim and vigor characteristic OF
bis ancestors. Rig the pup In any old
harness, and It's amusing to see how
good naturally he buckles down to
business, staying with 1t like an old
stager, never firing. eve feeling dis
couraged. One becomes very much at
tached to these exceedingly useful and
companionable animals. and they al
ways improve on acquaintance. The
longer you know them the better yon
like them. With white men they are
at FIRST disposed to be q little shy. but
they gradually make advances, and ul-
timately take the visitor into full con
idencc.
when We pitched M tents on
Nome beach last summer We had Q lit
tie experience with huskies from the
Bskimo huts. In our absence from the
teats these dogs were inclined to take
liberties with our provisions, but they

We felt moro amused than outraged,
The dogs would form q skirmish line

equitable q manner As dog thieves
were capable Of doing. These dogs
were honest Injuns at home. When
they became better acquainted with us
we could leave the mess chests open
and they would never touch anything;
they were on their dog honor, and
never violated 1t, only accepting food
when It was offered to them.
I'm led to these remarks" said the
old miner. from seeing men and boys
on the streets endeavorins to break all

They can't do it; it's utterly impossi-

they show 1t in their downcast faces,

Wood Preservation.

There is now being introduced into
England by the Xylosote Company a
process designed to prevent decay In
wood, and known as the Hasselmann
system. In this the timber to be treat
ed il enclosed In a cylindrical vessel
In which a fairly high vacuum Is pro-
duced by a suitable air pump. When
the sap has been drawn out Of the
pores under the diminished pressure q
solution of metallic and mineral salts
Is allowed to flow into the vessel, and
the wood is stepped in this for some
hours under steam pressure and at q
temperature Of about 1870 degrees G.
Then after being dried, 1t Is ready for
use. The impregnating liquid IL a So
luton Of the sulphates Of copper and
iron whose preservative properties are
generally acknowledged, together with
some aluminium. potassium and mag
nesium salts. The inventor Of the
process maintains that the copper de-
stroys any germs Of decay that may
be present while the iron combines
with the eellulose, or woody Abrs TO
form 4 compound which is insolubls In
water, and hence cannot DO washed out
by the action Of rain. The salts In this
way are made to psrmsate the sub
stance Of the wood, and are not merely
deposited mechanically al minute crys-
tails In the pores by the evaporation OF
the solvent. 1t Is claimed for the proc
ess which apart from the drying takes
about four hours, that 1t greatly re-
duces the innammability Of the wood.
enables 1t to take q brilliant polish and
i~ncreases the hardness Of certain soft
woods to such an extent as to render
them available for purposes to which
formerly they could not be applied.
Another advantage attributed to 1t Is
that 1t saves the expense Of seasoning
in the ordinary way since perfectly
green wood after treatment neither
shrinks nor warps. The process ap-
pears already to have gained consider
able recognition abroad; thus 1t Is
stated that the Bavarian State Rail-
ways and ~postofice have contracted to
have all their sleepers and poles up to
1905 treated by 1t, while the Swedish
government has adopted the system
and ordered COO, 600 sleepers preserved
by its use.

TIN. Negro and tn. Mule.

Why Is 1t the negro Is so successful
at managing the mule. and Is SO I'M
successful at managing a horse? 1t
Is generally admitted that both these
propositions are true. The negro is
a noisy driver; while he is teaminG
he is constantly shouting at his beast
of burden. The mule Is by no means
as sensitive to noise as the horse Is;
he is less excitable and more patient.
The horses excitement exhibits itself
in violence, that of the mule In stub
bornness. The phrase horse sense
is founded upon absurd error. for the
horse actually has very little OF that
which humanity terms sense" Yet
have We a right to expect any vast
amount of sense In an animal whose
eyes are so constructed as to magnify
| objects from eight to twelve times
| their actual size2
While It is true that the negro sooI
ruins the average horse, 1t Is not tru'
that he IL more successfui than otheI
people In the management Of the mule
The mule Is adapted to every class O
driver, but the negro can be adapte,
only to the mule. and this, we suppose
Ia really why We indulge the humorou
heresy that nobody can get along wit
the mule but the negro. The fact |
that the mule Is the only quadrupe
that can get along with the negro

A correspondent in an exchange
writes OF New Zealand's sheep Indus
try rs follows: Sheep farming may
fairly be called the leading industry
OF New Zealand. There are over 49,
000. 900 sheep in the colony. During
the year ending March 81, 1900, wool
to the value OF 4.74s,2s2 pounds ster-
ling. and 3,33s, 1853 carcase OF frosen
mutton and lamb were exported. Con-
siderable capital 10 invested by In
dividual farmers, as some OF the locks
nunber over l0O, 700 sheep. Anything
unaer rs, 900 Is considered a small
Sock. 1t 10 said that there is not
muc6 money In the business OF late
years, and at best the profits are not
more than interest On the money In
vested. Much of the land devoted to
this branch Of farming Is extremely
rough ana hilly. and to . stranger at
arst glance would appear to be quite
worthless. IL is astonishing, however.
to zee the kind of country over which
the sheep will Craze, and many dis
tricts quite useless for any other pur-
pose Of agriculture will carry two to
three sheep to the acre. In southern
districts where the winters are more
severe, 1t is the practice to grow tur-
nips, into which the sheep are turned
during the winter. In other districts
they depend entirely on the pasture.
Wyoming dispatches say that re-
ports from the north say a month ago
cattle men along Powder river and
Otter creek sent warnings to the sheep
men to get out of the country. The
aockmasters refused, and a band OF
masked men captured q sheep camp
and drove 5000 sheep over a cliff, kill
ing them. II. n. Seway owned the
sheep. and he has offered a reward OF
81, 900 for the arrest OF the raiders.

Sales at the Chicago horse market
during the week ending January 20
included an unusually large number
OF coach and draft stock of a superior
order. There was considerable demand
on the part Of eastern buyers some
individual animals bringing $3.50 to
1850 and extra choice teams OF 1900 to
i,&t0 pounds. 5000 to 500. A good

to $500. There was good inquiry for
coach horses. which sold for the high
est prices Of the season. high class
single animals ranging from $500 10
s 1900, while fancy teams realized $500
to $l,l75. Exports did not equal In
| numbers those OF the corresponding

volume OF Chicago's export trade thu
far for 1901, is lighter than 1t hal
been In three years during the CORE
spending period. but they anticipate

The Canadians are elated over tho
fact that both their butter and cheese
received high marks at the Paris Ex-
position. This strengthens their stand
ing in the foreign market. The Cana
dams are striving to win on the butter
trade as we'll as on the cheese trade,
so far az the English market is con-
cerned. However. We canno believe
that IL will be an easy matter to build
up a large foreign trade eve for
Canadian butter. They are hampered
by the same circumstances that keep
US down-the inclination of the home
market to take at a good price all the
first-S)ass product that can be turned
out. That this state of AFFAIRS is noe
imaginary Is proved by the Canadian
exports Of dairy products last year.
Their expectation of cheese was In
creased and the price received was
larger than the previous year by 2k
cents per box. On the other hand the
exports OF butter dropped from 4bI 900
to 5000 packages, though the price in
England was 70 cents per package
more than last year. The amount Of
butter being sent to England by Cam
ada Is only equal to the amount sent
by New Zealand, and is only half that
sent by Australia. We do no believe
that Canada will ever be able to oom-
pete with the other colonies In this
matter for the simple reason that she
has access to populations at home that
are used to paying high prices for wha,

THE STARTING POINT OF FERTIL-
RunuA

H
To the Farmers Review: During the
past few years Wa have heard q good
deal about humus. yet 80 little Is 1t
understood that some remarks In ref
erence to It may not be amiss. There
are 4 good many farmers who can talk
quite readily about tho elements of
fertility, but their knowledge OF them
seems almost useless In practice ow-
ing to their not understanding humus.
They seem like people who have learn
ed sufficient words to speak a Ian
guage. but never having learned the
grammar of 1t are continually misplace
ing the words. Now. / don't want to
be understood as casting any reflection
on farmers English, but what mean
to exemplify is that until we ground
ourselves properly In the principles
underlying humus In the soil we can
not cultivate very intelligently. II all
the countless experiments In manur-
ing carried on by the agricultural sta
tons had been guided by first estab-
lished principles, we would not today
be fioundering in the mire Of empires
on the manuring question. The de
crease in the fertility OF our farms can
invariably be traced to destruction OF
humus and want of balance in the hui
mus restored.
1t Ia difficult to find a smile to illus
trate humus. but perhaps the reader
may gather some idea Of 1t In contem
,rn Charcoal lilA hn-
mus, results from the partial destruc-
ton OF vegetable matter, In which the
more readily combustible gases are
driven of. Charcoal will not readily
decompose. yet II can be burnt up, ant

elements in ash. The manure heap
