Antiau1tyof Man.

From review in Science of.De Nor
tillet's great work on prehistoric times
the following is condensed. Twelve
chapters are devoted to the question Of
tertiary man. 1t is concluded that
while man did not exist during this
period, precursors Of man more intelli-
gent than any Of the living anthropoids
did exist.
Pithecanthropus erectus is consider
ed as the immediate precursor Of man.
The Calaveras skull is rejected. The
paleolithic period is considered as cor
responding to the early quarternary,
and $4,000 years is assigned as the
length of this period. Add to this nura-
Der 10000 years for the protohistoric
and neolithic periods and 5000 years
more for the historic period, and we
have 23S,O00 years, which is, according
to the authors. a moderate estimate OF
mans antiquity.

A pygmy's way, but giants grit;
His back was a chain Of throbbing aches,
Lifting the mold with its earthen cakes;
Elbows rusty as hinges Of steel,
Knees so lame he could hardly kneel;
Mud so stiff It would clog plow
And couldn't be stirred with wheel nohow;
Nights as short as the days were long;
Nothing seemed right, but everything wrong.
''Best can do" said the man; "but, pshaw,
You can't make brick when you have no straw!'

GREYHOUNDS.
They Are the FIeetest of All Four
Foated Animals.

They Are the F1eetest of All Four
Footed Animals.
Comparatively few people realize OF
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
BILE Some remarkable statistics In re-
gard to this have been gathered by NJ
Dusoller, a French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently Tor
hours while the latter are riding on bi-
cycles or in carriages, he says that even
greater endurance is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between 90
and 60 miles in one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as well, if not better.
Nansen met one of these foxes on the
ice at point more than 20 miles north
west of the Sannikow territory, which
is 4S0 miles from the Asiatic coast. Es-
kime and Siberian dogs can travel 40
miles on the ice in five hours, and there
Is one case on record In which a team
of Eskimo dogs travelled 61a miles in
2S minutes.
According to NJ. Dusolier. the speed
of the shepherd dogs and those used in
hunting ranges from 10 to Is yards a
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate of Is to 10 miles an
hour, and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift,
rs is proved by the fact that dog of
this breed once beat q thoroughbred
horse. covering four miles in 61a min
utes, which was at the rate of nearly
IS yards q second.
Greyhounds are the swfftest Of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that OF
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds,
which are carefully selected and which
are used for coursing. are able to COW
er at full gallop a space between IL
and % yards every second.
How great an achievement this Is
may be judged from the fact that a
thoroughbred horse rarely if ever ex-
ceeds 10 yards. Moreover. 1t is said
thar hare at it's greatest speed never
goes faster than at the rate of IS yards.
These interesting statistics are ex-
citing much comment among sports
men and other lovers of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that M. Dnsolief
has fully proved the right of the grey
hound to rank as the swiftest OF the
quadrupeds. Express engines only sur
pass them.-London Mail

SHIELD BUDDING.

" raised with a knife. On the other
hand, If the work is done when the tree
is still growing vigorously the bud is
liable to be drowned OUT or, In other
words, forced out, by reason of too
much sap and growth Of stock.
If the proper season has been chosen
for the work, the bud should remain
dormant until spring. If it starts in
the autumn, it may be killed during
the winter. In the following spring
the stock should be cut or just above
the bud, which will cause all the
strength of the stock to be directed in
to the bud and produce rapid growth,
three feet not being On exceptional
growth for the first season.
Budding is now very popular meth
cd of propagating apples. The first
seasons growth is greater than from
root grated trees, and there is larger
proportion Of straight trUnked trees by
this method. II II is desired also TO
prevent trees from becoming on their
own roots, budding is preferable, as
trees propagated in this way may be
planted so that the stock is just at the
surface of the soil and all roots are
thrown from 1t. :

SOIL ANALYSIS.
why It Has Little Value as n Guide

why IL Has Little Value as n Guide
to the Use of Fertilizers.
The Ohio experiment station receives
many such requests as the following:
"Will you make chemical analysis Of
my soil to determine whether I need
nitrogen, potash or phosphorlc acid,
and, If so, what will be the charger"
To this request we make the uniform
answer that such an analysis would be
very expensive and when made would
usually have very little value as
guide to the use Of fertilizers for the
reason that the chemist has as yet dis
covered no reagent which possesses the
same capacity for extracting plant
food from the soil as that Of the living
tissues of the plant.
To illustrate: Potash is q character
istic constituent of granite rocks, and
a soil formed from such rocks may ap-
pear rich in potash under the chemists
analysis, and yet if that potash be still
lathe form Of granite sand 1t will be
yielded uxs-y slowly to the feeble
solvents of the plant.
Again, in some of tne>southern states
are immense beds of rocks containing
large percentages Of phosphoric acid,
but If these rocks are merely ground
and mixed with the soil their phos-
phoric acid, which has resisted the
solvent action Of soil water for ages,
will continue hsoluble, and hence the
necessity for treating these ground
rocks with sulphuric acid in order to
make their phosphoric acid available.
Still further, when piece of marshy
land has been drained, it is often found
that the crops planted upon 1t fail to
thrive, although 1t seems to be very
rich in nitrogen. The remedy here Is
to add barnyard manure, something
which savors strongly Of carrying Goals
to Newcastle, but the explanation is
that the semiaquatic vegetation which
formerly occupied the land decays so
slowly that cultivated crops cannot get
nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added,
however, it sets up a fermentation,
which converts the nitrogen bearing
materials into & more soluble and
hence available form.
For these reasons the only practical
way of learning the needs of a partic-
ular soil is to make experiments on
that soil and thus learn which combina-
ton of fertilizing materials will pro-
duce the greatest effect.-Charles E.
Thorne, Director.

BUDDING THE APPLE.

Now Very Popular and Has Some
Advantages Over Grating.
Although grating is much more
common method OF propagating the ap-
pie than budding, the latter has some
advantages over the former and can be
done at a time when grating could not
be successfully performed.
The season for commercial budding
is from early July to the middle Of Sep
tember. August and September being
In many sections the best for budding
the apple. Young stocks of the second
seasons growth from seed are much
used. The process Of budding adopted
for apples consists In inserting a bud
with very little or no wood under the
bark of the stock and on the surface of
Its wood. 1t is called shield budding.
Budding is best performed when
there is still sufficient sap beneath the
bark to permit of the latter being east
