There are many things about the
physics of soils that remain to be ex-
planned. One of them is the movement
OF soil moisture, both as relates to the
water table and to the moisture pres
ent by capillary attraction. Thus we
notice that in some experiments made
In North Dakota it was determined
that the water table falls during the
winter season, but there is little or no
loss Of soil moisture and there is an
actual gain Of moisture in the surface
soil, which is not due to rain or
snow" A possible explanation is that
the cold earth, even in its frozen state,
may act as condenser of the moisture
in the air, on days when the tempera-
ture of the air is above the freezing
point. Another explanation may be
that the air in the soil actually circu-
lates toward the colder surface soil,
and deposits its moisture there by
condensation, just as is the case with
the air above the soil. However,
further Investigation of the subject
may show the main causes Of such
concentration of the water supply and
its advantage to agriculture.

Mr.. Winslow, secretary of the Ayr
shire Breeders Association, spoke re-
Gently on the Ayrshire COW. He says
that during at least two centuries she
has been a prominent figure in Scotch
life. Hardness has been developed
in her for the reason that for genera
tions she had to get her living under
hard conditions on the moors, having
often to endure severe cold, some
times for long periods. He says,
Ayrshire cows are always hungry,
will eat all you feed them, and will
make the best use Of all they get. The
quality of Ayrshire milk is good. 1t
IS particularly adapted for the milk
man when there are so many milk in
spectors about. The Ayrshire has
never been advocated as butter cow,
but whenever she has been given a
trial 1t has been found that she pro-
duces large quantity of good butter
at a small cost. While the cream will
not rise so quickly when the milk is
set, that objection vanished into thin
air when the cream separator was in
vented. Though not advocated for
beef, the butchers like 1t as they are
thick in the loin and cut up well and
their meat has good flavor. AS a
persistent mixer she has no equal.
There is, in fact, some difficulty in
drying them off"

Scientists that have had large ex-
perience in the matter OF orchard
treatment declare that 1t is better to
treat large areas for insects and fungi
instead OF here and there individual
orchards. The reason is apparent. In
the case of treating few acres of trees
at time the region around those
acres serves as a base of operations
for the pest desired to be exterminat-
ed. The untreated orchard of our
neighbor is the one that does the mis-
chief. How to get that orchard
sprayed is problem. In some states
laws have been passed making the
treatment Of the orchard compulsory
on complaint Of certain property hold
ers in the vicinity. But such laws are
imperative. for the reason that men
are not very numerous that will take
the initiative in such a matter. The
only effective move we can see as ad-
visable Is for the most interested man
to call neighborhood meeting to con-
slider the question of spraying all the
orchards. Then, II possible, have all
the orchards treated at the same time

those they did not need. This, If true,
is a double disaster for the British.
weakening them and at the same time
strengthening the Beers. The latter.
to face the tremendous odds against
them, must have mobility-that f.,
they must have horses. Should their
supply Of these run out they would be
seriously crippled. They are not fond
OF walking. Perhaps IL they had to
walk the English soldiers could out
march them. The destruction OF
horsefesh in such active operations as
the Beers have been carrying on is
tremendous, and it has been a question
how long 1t would be before their sup
ply gave out. II the Beers have really
laid in a stock of acclimated horses at
the expense of their enemies the prob
lem of remounts will not bother them
for awhile.

n Queens Electric Motor Car

Queen Alexandra has become pos
sessed of victoriette, which she has
learnt to drive herself. Seated for two,
it's framework is articulaIed, so that
1t adapts itself to any unevenness of
road without stress or strain. The sin
gle motor is Of h. p, Of four pole type
and can be worked to five times nor
NAL capacity without any injurious eff
fects.
The batteries are fitted in the rear
portion Of the carriage, and contain
sufficient energy for thirty-five or forty
miles on one charge. The car is cleo
trically LIT and fitted with japanned
lamps, relieved with silver-plate fit
tings; the wheels are of bicycle type,
and fitted with 3-inch pneumatic tires.
Speed of car is from six miles to four
teen miles per hour.
The queen herself has become an ex-
pert driver. and derives great pleasure
from this pleasing little vehicle, which
is now quite familiar in the neighbor-
hood Of Sandringham.

GOOD and uaa wor. q, n,...

Professor Waite of the Department
Of Agriculture has been investigating
the work of the bee relative to its car
rying OF disease germs from flower to
flower, and expresses the opinion that
the bee is largely responsible for the
distribution Of the peach rot fungus.
The bee himself does not puncture the
peach, but gets to work on the peach
after the wasp and the soldier bug
have punctured it. Bees also carry
pear blight. Pear trees do not usually
show much blight till they bloom and
begin to bear fruit. The pear blight
virus is gummy and can't be blown by
the wind; 1t must be carried by in
sects. II the virus dries 1t dies in
few days. A twig. that has died of
blight is no longer menace. because
the virus that killed the twig is dead
also. 1t is therefore evident that the
germs are spread by insects. especially
bees.
On the other hand the bee is a great
increaser Of our crops through his
work Of s-pollenization. Many Of
our plums and apples are sterile to
their own pollen, but such is not true
OF the peach and ounce. The pear is
not of the type that produces pollen
that is borne by the wind. From the
biological standpoint the bees are do

Thackeray's first idea was to repair
and alter this house, but he afterward
decided to pull it down together. The
annual rental Of the Palace Green
property was $500, a figure which
Thackeray's friends thought rather be-
yond his means, and when he began
his building operations they were
aghast at his extravaganza. The au-
thor's judgment was INDICATED even
tually, however, for when the house
was sold after his death it brought
$4,000 more than it had cost.

The William Mckinley National
Memorial Arch association, which has
been incorporated under the laws of
the District of Columbia, with the pur-
pose of erecting memorial arch in
honor of the late President in Wash
ington, will depend upon voluntary
contributions from Americans, both at
home and abroad. 1t is the present
purpose of the committee to have the
arch span the entrance to the proposed
memorial bridge across the Potomac
River from Washington to the Virginia
shore.
The arch, with its bas-reliefs ana
statues, will be entirely the work of
American architects, artists and sculp-
tors, and no limit has been put upon

Water In Cerea, Production.

A wheat-raiser says that subsoiling
will increase the yield of wheat in his
vicinity, but that the amount of water
used in the production of the crop is
greater. That is most certainly so and
it is no argument against sub-soiling.
Every increase in the crop of any
thing means very large increase in
the amount Of water used. No other
condition is possible. 1t takes GER
tain amount of water to convey the
food to the grain of the plant, and
the amount of water used is hundreds
of times the bulk of the food carried.
This water Is not used over and over
again. so far as we know, but after
acting as conveyer is thrown of from
the foliage Of plants in the form OF
vapor. Experiments have shown that
for every pound of dry wheat created
there is used 453 pounds Of water. 1t
will thus be seen that to increase the
yield Of wheat by one bushel means
the added use of 27,1S0 pounds OF
water. This is over Is tons. Anent
this subject 1t may be interesting to
quote the conclusions arrived at by
Professor King of Wisconsin as to
the amount of water used in the pro-
duction of the leading grains. To elab-
crate one pound of dry matter the re-
quirements are as follows: Barley, 461
pounds; oats, SOB pounds; corn, go
pounds; clover, SIG pounds; peas, AIT
pounds; potatoes, sS5 pounds. These
figures present an interesting study.
The low demands of corn show that
1t is crop adapted to a limited water
supply and point to its origin and de-
velopment in country semi-arid in
nature. 1t will explain why the corn
crop comes through drouths that de-
stroy other crops. AS to subsoiling
for the increase of water supply 1t
must be remembered that that is the
prime reason for the process, as 1t in
creases the water reservoir Of the
soil.

its cost, this depending entirely upon
the amount of contributions received.
The association will have headquar-
tiers in Washington, but every state
and large city will have vice-presi-
dent and an organization to encourage
subscriptions. Bishop Henry c. Potter
is one of the vice-presidents for New
York. President Roosevelt has accept
ed honorary membership in the asso-
citation and Hon. Lyman j. Gage, sec
rotary of the Treasury, is treasurer.
Admiral Dewey is also vice-president,
and prominent men in every state and
large city and in the cities abroad
where Americans live, are accepting
vice-presidencies in the association and
aiding in the work of raising funds.

An ideal condition for spraying is
when the wind Is still. AS there are
few days when the wind does not blow,
it is extremely difficult to obtain ideal
conditions for the work. When the
air is still the spray may be evenly put
on the tree and little of the mixture
will be wasted. When the wind is
blowing it becomes necessary to spray
the tree from several sides to get a
uniform application. Some of our best
sprayers find it advisable TO spray from
not less than six different positions
II the air is still a tree may be
sprayed all over at one time. But
when the air is in motion one-half
of the tree will have to be left till the
wind changes.

nutritious of all the legumes, but its
flavor is pronounced and to some per-
sons not as agreeable as that of the
pea and bean. 1t has sometimes been
claimed that indigestion and other bad
effects followed the eating Of lentils,
but this impression is known in some
cases to be traceable to the use of GER
tain poisonous vetches, whose seed
much resembles the lentil There is
every reason to consider the lentil a
wholesome food. Until recent years
the lentil was little known in the Unit
ed States, but with the growth OF the
foreign population its use has steadily
increased. The lentils found in our
markets are all imported, but the Gull
ture of this legume with European
seeds is being tried in our southwest
ern territories and elsewhere. There
is already grown in New Mexico and
Arizona, as well as in Mexico, a small
variety Of lentil. the seed of which
was doubtless brought from Spain CEN
turtles ago by the ancestors Of the
present mixed race living there. The
sandy soil of moderate fertility seems
adapted to it; 1t has become accli-
mated, is hardy and prolific.

Saving Fruit from Frost.

Not only does the meteorologist to-
day warn the agriculturist Of those
rainfalls of which it is so useful tc
have advance knowledge in gathering
crops, but he notifies the fruit raisers
of Florida and California of approach
ing frosts, and in the latter state the
weather bureau at San Francisco has
made careful studies in certain locali'
ties, not only on the conditions of pro-
ducing frost, but of practical methods
of protecting fruit therefrom. In the
fruit region particularly affected by
frosts the citrus crop-"the lines, and
lemons, and oranges'-amounts to
about $5,OOO,OOO a year, and until re-
Gently the farmers have simply re-
garded the destructive frosts which at
times befell certain spots as an IRE
sistible calamity.

Nets on Apple Trees.

At recent convention reported by
the Farmers Review, Prof. Webster of
the Ohio Experiment Station reported
the results of some experiments car
ried out by him in netting apple trees
to keep off the coddling moths. A
number Of trees were covered with
nets to keep out the moths, and be-
side them were a number of check
trees left uncovered. When the apples
were harvested it was found that 10
per cent were wormy on the covered
trees and over 70 per cent wormy on
the uncovered trees. 1t will be. no
ticed that even the apples on the COW
cred trees were affected to almost one
fifth OF ALL Just how valuable the ex-
pertinent is we cannot say, especially
as we do not know how near the COW
seems to the writer that one very i'm
portant part has not been reported.
We wish to ask: Did not the moths
that tried to get onto a covered tree
turn away from that and go onto an
uncovered tree, thus making the num-
Der Of wormy apples there very much
larger than 1t would have been under
ordinary circumstances? II such were
the case the relative value of the COW
ering would be lessened for actual use
Also, did the covered tree bear as much
fruit as the uncovered one? We ask
this, as the netting that kept out the
moths might also keep out the in
sects that assist the cross-fertilization
of the blossoms, 1t having been quite
fairly demonstrated that even our APP
pie trees benefit by this cross-fertiliza-
ton. 1t may yet pay well to protect
some OF our fruit trees with nets.

A remarkable story is current re-
garding General Sir Ian Hamilton's
spectacles. The general lost a pair of
spectacles at the battle of Majuba Hill.
They must have been picked up by
a Boer whom they suited, and who
kept them for twenty years. In the
early part of the present year the
spectacles were found on the dead
body of a Boer. The case had Gener-
al Hamilton's name on it, and the
glasses were in due course returned
to their original owner.
