what the attitude of the party would be in
the next campaign:
" Fm not cheeky enough to endeayor to

ourselves against the big institutions which
are springing up on our border.

A lobster Is found in the water. but
not always; in fact. some of the most
successful Holsters that ever lobstered
were born and raised on dry land.
One can usually tell lobster by its
actions. For instance, II young

and walks all over the feet of the as
sembled guests without their consent
or approval, the young man at once
becomes lobster.

money. In fact IL is difficult 10 be "A

The division OF soils OF the United
States Department of Agriculture has
just described new instrument now
in use for investigating the properties
OF soils. This is a great time and
labor saving apparatus. giving accur-
ate and reliable results. which other
wise would require months 10 obtain.
The physical properties OF soils are
recognized by plant psychologists TO
be OF the greatest Importance In plant
economy. Even I'm the consideration
OF climatic conditions it is now gen
orally considered that for most plants
the conditions OF the soil hold equal
rank with atmospheric conditions. A
high temperature in the soil under IA
vorable conditions promotes extensive
root development; high atmospheric
temperature under equally favorable
conditions fayors a heavy growth OF
foliage. A deficiency in water OF
either air or soil is attended with dis
tress.
The new apparatus as devised by the
division. OF soil Is an electric affair.
1t registers half dozen or more va
rious soil properties. This method de-
pends upon the principle that the re-
sistance offered to the passage of an
electric current from one carbon plate

upon the amount of moisture present
between the carbon plates or cleo

The illustration shows the instru-
ment as used in the field, with the car
bon electrodes and temperature cells

temperature cells may be buried in
the soil ut the beginning Of the season
and remain undisturbed throughout
the year. The moisture record OBJ
tanned consequently deals with the
variation in moisture contents in the

the advantages of the method, since it
has been shown that the moisture con

vary as much as four per cert. within
an area of one square rod. Consc-
