Holding the Fertility.

A thirty bushel crop of wheat
will remove from the soil forty
eight pounds of nitrogen, nine
pounds of phosphoric acid. If
the grain alone is sold it removes
from the farm thirty-three pounds
of nitrogen, nine pounds of potash
and fourteen pounds ofphosphor-
ic acid. Sixty bushels of corn if
taken from the farm will remove
ffty-six pounds of nitrogen, thir-
teen pounds of potash and TWEEN.
ty pounds of phosphoric acid.
This quantity of fertility may
not seem to be large, and where
large stores of these elements
are present in soils it may seem
that prairie soils will long remain
productive, even though such
drafts are made annually. Most
prairie soils contain on the sur
face foot a few thousand pounds
of nitrogen per acre, possibly
about the same quantity of phos.
phoric acid, with a somewhat
larger portion of potash. With
these amounts present it will be
seen that there is enough fertili-
ty to produce a few hundred
: crops, and this being true it is
not surprising that we sometimes
hear the argument put forward
that there is little use in conserv-
ing the fertility of the soilfor the
benefit CT unborn generations.
While it is true that many of
our soils may be able to produce
a hundred or more crops even if
the grain is annually marketed at
the elevator, yet this can not be
done without the crops annually
growing less. Experiments in

erS who will not read to
think upon.

Many years ago. in the forties,
there landed in Wisconsin a poor
German boy, by the name of
Theodore Louis. All the avenues
of American thought and knowl-
edge were shut against him, for
ne could not speak or read the
English language. But he had a
good mind, a mind that longed
for knowledge. Nc man has a
good mind who does not have a
thirst for knowledge. In the
early t%ifties, he was a hunter and
scout on the plains, in the en-
ploy of the American Fur Com
pany. To day he is an old man,
but there stands to his credit the
great fact that he is one of the
finest teachers on swine life on
this continent. He is known all
over the nation for what be has
done and said in regard to the
secret of breeding and handling
hogs successfully. He has not
only won fame, but he has made
money as we'll, in hog farming.
At the meeting OF Wisconsin,
Dairyman's Association last VIM
ter, in Dunn Co., where Mr..
Louis resides. he made a very
able address on "The Hog as a
Factor in Successful Dairylng."
One passage in that address i'm
pressed us very much. Here it
is:
When l recall that l carried
home my first pig in sack, five
miles on my shoulders, forty-tive
years ago, over hills, valleys, and
swamps. as roads we're then an
unknown luxury, and commenced
in a primitive way to master the
columns of the Orange Judd

the aid of a German and English
Dictionary, and by long years of
study, observation and failure in

have tried to solve the art of
Swine husbandry, become i'm
pressed more than ever tina" the
doors to-day stand wide open for
whoever is willing to avail him
self of opportunities that call
aloud and say Come and sup
with u.s.
There's a man who had to
learn a language after he was a
man, in order that he might FIJI
his mind with useful knowledge.
He had the brains to see that he
needed to read if he would know
truth from error and save the
wasting of half his life in waste
full mistakes.
His life is a magnificent lesson
to the thousands of Yankee
farmers, dairy farmers at that,
''who having ears hear not, eyes
see not and ability to read, and
they read not. 1t is not only a
lesson, 1t is a rebuke.-Ex.

factories; in 1880 10000, 900
pounds out of a product of
SO7, 900 pounds, was factory
made; in 1900 the factory pro-
duct of butter was 42O,126,OO

1892, 699 900 pounds, the factory
product being 1872 per cent of
the whole. Cheese making shows
a still more remarkable transfer.

cheese making in factories re-
ported. In1870 the factories made
more than one-half our cheese,
and in 1900 the farms made but
16,372,000 pounds, or less than e
per cent of the whole product of
500, 900, 900 pounds. Illustrations
might be multiplied ind definitely
to show the encroachment of the
factory upon the function of the
farm, says S. N. d. North, in the

sted estate show that during fiji
t. years the average annual yield
has been cut from between thir-
ty and forty bushels per acre to
nine bushels per acre. In this
case no fertilizer has been added
to the land during the entire time.
Analysis of the soil indicate that
there is still a fair supply of ash
constituents, the unproductive-
ness of the soil being due to the
fact that constant cropping has
reduced the supply of vegetable
matter to such an extent that the
ash constituents present are not
liberated. 1t seem that the de-
cay of vegetable matter produces
acids that liberate the ash con-
stituents, and unless these acids
are present there can be little or
no liberation.
e Average prairie sells contain a
large supply of vegetable matter,
as we'll as presence of both the
soils are productive. So long as
the vegetable matter supply is
kept in balance with the ash sup
ply Just so long will the soils re-
main productive, while the ex-
haustion of the humus supply
has the effect of decreasing the
production even though there is
an abundant supply of ash con-
stltuents present. The only
way to keep up the productive.
ness OF the soil is to feed the
crops on the farm and return the
manure to the land. The legumes
may be used in supplying the
element nitrogen, bat roughage
must be returned to the land in
order to keep up the supply of
humus. 1t should be remember
ed that straw and corn stalks
contain considerable mineral mat
ter, so that when these are re-
turned to the land something
more than humus is added. For
example, the straw from a thirty
bushel per acre wheat crop con-
tains twenty pounds of potash
and fifteen pounds Of nitrogen;
the stalks from a SIXTY bushel
corn crop contain sixty poundsot
potash and thirty pounds of nj.
trcgen. When the grain crops
are fed to animals only a small
proportion of the fertilizing ele-
ments is removed from the farm,
this being taken away in the It's
sue of the animals. There is no
question but what soils may be
cropped indefinitely, if the grain
is fed, the manure returned to
the land and legumes given a
prominent place in the rotation.
Such a system of agriculture we
venture to say, may be carried
on for hundreds and even thou
sands of yearson our prairie land
without necessitating the intro
duction of any form of CONNER
cial fertilizers. Not only is the
fertility supply kept up, but this
type of agriculture mustnot only
be profitable in the long run, but
should be more profitable even
in the immediate present. pro-
viding, of course, that good com
mon sense is used IN tilling the
soil and in the feeding animals

GOVERNMENT DEFAULT.
Nature of Claims of Great Britain and
Germany

Germany.
New York, Dec. 10.-The principal
British creditors whose claims are to
be enforced by the ultimaturl against
Venezuela are, according to the Trib-
une'S correspondent in London, railway
and harbor Improvement companies.
Some of these companies complain OF
defaults Of interest guaranteed by the
Venezuelan government, and another
corporation. which took UP an issue of
bonds, claims that considerable
amount of unpaid interest is due it.
There are also claims for damages to
railways and other property from war
losses, and also for unpaid charges for
freight on the government account
The British claims in the main are
based on government defaults or neg
hgence, and are not unsolicited pri-
Yate or business debts.
The German claims are larger in
amount and more varied in their ma
ture. and the responsibility of the Ven
ezuelan government for the redemption
of the obligations is less obvious in Ger
tain sections of the account. There are
no limitations here Of the amounts
either of the French or American
claims which must be considered.
The precautions taken by the United
States in ordering a strong fleet to
the Venezuelan coast do not escape at
tention- 1t is considered a sign that
the Washington authorities are on their
guard against the taking of too dras-
tic measures on the part either of Ger
many or England for the collection of
q debt from a weak power distracted
with revolution. European nations
have been financing railways and har-
Dor Improvement schemes in South
America half a century, but they have
not been accustomed to depend on ma
val demonstrations for the collection

Secretary Hay Knew What Was
About to Take Place.

Washington. Dec. lett was said at
the British and German embassies to-
day that the action of President Castro
in ordering the arrest of all subjects Of
the British and German governments
in Caracas was without precedent in
the history of civilized countries sup
posedly at peace with each other, and
that such action would be regarded as
sufficient ground for a declaration of
war. Members of the diplomatic corps
here, indeed, regard it as being such a
declaration in itself.
Many years ago, when President
Soroas was at the head of the Buenos
Ayres government, Great Britain be-
came involved in aedispute with the
South American country and Soroas is
sued a decree that all British subjects
should be arrested and their heads
taken off at the first shot fired from
the British r1en-Of-war then threaten
ing to lombard cities along the Argen-
tine coast Fortunately, an agreement
was reached and the drastic order was
not carried out.
Had Been Planned.
Minister Bowen's prompt action in
demanding of PresidentsCastro the re-
lease of the German and British sub
jects arrested in Caracas yesterday is
in accordance with the plan agreed on
between the German and British am
bassadOrs and Secretary Hay when the
former called at the state department
fully three weeks ago, and in anticipa-
ton of the present ugly situation in
Venezuela, requested that the United
States minister at Caracas he permit
ted to protect the lives and property of
all British and German citizens in
Venezuela. 1t is understood that Pres
ident Castro was notified of this ac-
ton.
1t was pointed out by a European Dip
lOmat of high rank today that in fore
ing Minister Bowen to demand the re-
lease of arrested subjects President
Castro is acting directly contrary to
the desire of the Washington govern
ment not to become involved in the in
ternational dispute. Both Germany and
Great Britain. it was said fully appre-
ciate the position of the United States
and are determined that this country
shall not be drawn unnecessarily into
the embodiment
The Munroe Doctrine.
1t was also stated that President
ROOsevelt's recent interpretations of
the Monroe doctrine were being looked
TO by both nations as authority for the
extent to which they could go into their
claims against Venezuela without en-
barrassing the United States. The par
tlcular utteranceS of the president upon
which they have set his attention is
this:
This (the Monroe doctrine) has moth
ing to do with the commercial relations
OF any American power, save that in
truth it allows each of them to form
such as it desires. In other words, it is
really guaranty of the commercial in
dependence of the Americas We do
not ask under this doctrine for any ex-
elusive commercial dealings with any
other American state. We do not guar
antee any state against punishment if
it misconducts itself, provided that
punishment does not take the form of
the acquisition of territory by any non
American power"
