Effects of Moisture In the Soil.


Moisture is just as essential an ele-
ment of fertility as the mineral plant
food Many soils containing a very
high percentage of soluble plant food
are a barren waste because of lack
of moisture. All plants in a green
state are largely water, the percent
age of water in the mature plan run
ming as high as 81 and 92 percent,
in the case of such succulent crops as
beets and turnips.
An abundant supply of moisture Is
needed not only because it forms the
bulk of the crop but more especially
for the solution, preparation and trans
portation of the mineral plant food OF
the suII, without which It-nonld he 80
no use in crop production, also for the
dissemination of these materials and
those obtained from the air through
out the plant.
On the other hand it must not be
too abundant. 1t must not fill all the
pores of the soil so as to exclude the
air or the land will be rendered uu-
productive while this condition exists.
Plants that will thrive in water Will
not thrive in soil saturated with wa
ter, because in the water culture the
water is free to move and the con-
slant change bringing different parts
constantly to the surface in contact
with the air certain amount Of this
air is absorbed, replacing any that
may have been taken out by the roots;
while in q soil saturated by water
there is not this opportunity for the
air to enter. This suggests another
element of fertility, says Professor
Edgcrton of Iowa Agricultural college

No More white House Gardens.

The last relic of the White House
gardens has been removed. 1t consist
ed of the white painted office building
which was formerly occupied by the
head gardener and which adjoined the

side of the line for the new executive
offices of the President, and was not
disturbed until recently. Then it was

hauled through the streets of Washing

frightening the horses all along Penn
sylvania avenue. 1t is to be used as a
watchman's lodge in the Smithsonian
grounds.
There is now no sign whatever Of
a flower garden about the White
House. The supply Of roses, hyacinths
and other blooms that are used In the
White House comes from the propa-
eating gardens, about quarter of a
mile to the south of the Executive
Mansion. Every day wagon load of
flowers is brought up to the south en-
trance to the Presidents house and
distributed through the various rooms.

Uniformity of Cattle WEIGHTS.

Attempts have been made by num-
Der of experienced breeders in lndl-
ana to produce a uniformity of weight
in steers fed for the market, and some
quite remarkable results have been
obtained. One batch of score of
steers were raised on the farm so that
they averaged 1900 pounds each after
six months of good feeding. They were
fed up TO this time on uniform ra-
ton which caused steady and con-
tinuous growth but 1t was impossible
to maintain the uniformity of weight
thereafter. While at six months of
feeling they weighed less than 70
pounds difference when taken singly,
they gradually widened this until at
the end of the year the heaviest had a
gain of IS pounds over the lightest.
The grain feed was the same for all
the cattle, and they were treated in
every possible way just the same.
The question which has been raised
by this experiment is whether 1t Is
not possible to keep uniformity OF
standard weight in steers up TO six
months much easier than to year. In
the first six months the steers all
showed a steady and continuous gain,
which showed that their food agreed
with them, and brought out the host
there was In their natures, but after
that period their constitutions changed
little. Inherited gifts and tenden-
cies began to develop in some, and
they slowly outgrew the others,
If this theory is true, it is much
more satisfactory to secure breeds
that will keep uniformity of stand
ard weight up to the time they are
ready for marketing. The loss on
the few which dropped back in the
feeding experiment would in the az
gregate amount to considerable
| item. OF course breed alone will not
settle the question: nor breed and
feed together The individual will
snow characteristics that will develop
in spite Of breed and feed. But if one
can make it q point TO select the in
| dividual according to the highest
/ standard of merit from the best breeds
and tnen feed them satisfactorily, the
results should be suc'i Q uniformity o.

why Many Young Men Fail.

It is the fault and the cause of the
failure of so many bright, capable
young men that, being put into GER
tain workday rut, they make no effort
to climb o. even crawl out of it; they
do not seek the work that is not rou-
tine, and go beyond the terms of the
bond in search of additional labor in
order to attract the approving notice
of their employers. They do not go to
their posts before nor remain at them
after the fixed hour. They are con-
tent to do enough. and no more than
enough, to earn their hire. The life of
the average clerk is generally genteel,
easy, clearly: he need not soil his hands
nor his clothes, and his ambition Is
satisfied with these pleasant condi-

Cow Pea Hay as a Feed. !

In feeding value we'll cured COW
pea hay is similar and about equal to
alfalfa and red clover hay. Curing OF
COW pea hay requires especial care
to avoid dropping of the leaves which
occurs if the vines are over ripe when
cut, or if in curing they are too long
exposed to sunshine. We often cut
just after the dew il off, turn the
vines several hours before sunset and
put in windows or cocks toward the
middle of the next day. Hay caps are
very useful In curing COW pea vines
if the weather becomes unfavorable.
The mixture of crab grass with pea
vines aids in retaining the leaves. we
have satisfactorily used German millet
for the same purpose with the eS,4y
varieties of COW peas, sowing Cs's
bushel of the latter and one peck OF
the millet per acre. AS emphasizing
the Importance of retaining the leaves
by curing pea vines partly in cocks we
give the following facts brought out
in tests made at the Alabama expert
ment station with six varieties. The
leaves averge 80 percent of the weight
of the thoroughly dry hay. The
leaves contained % percent protein.
against and ~ percent in the coarse
and fine stems respectively; and 10
percent fat, or about four times the
percentage found in the stems. In
starchy material the leaves AID stems
were on a practical equality, contain
ing Fl to 33 percent nitrogen-free ex-
tract. Cow pea hay resembles wheat
bran in composition and in part can
be substituted for it.-Alabama Exper-
iment Station.

Poultry Yard Wisdom.

The following practical poultry
notes are selected from Commercial
Poultry:
The man or woman who loves pure
bred poultry, but is so situated that
there is but limited amount Of space
available. can extract fully as much
pleasure from a flock of bantams as
could be got from a flock of lordly
Light Brahmas. They are easily con-
fined and thrive wonderfully on
small space. They are readily tanned
and become very interesting pets, and J
cost of keeping considered, they pay
fully as well for their feed as almost
any of the larger varieties, Most of
the breeds are prolific layers, and
their eggs are very large when the
size of the fowls is compared with that
of thd larger breeds.
No matter what breed of poultry is
chosen pure-bred stock pays better in
dollars and cents than nondescripts
which have no particular breeding and
are of no value beyond the lowest
market price. A fancy for poultry
leads to profits in more than one direc-
ton. Pure-b bred poultry is worth more
on the market than common stock.
Not only does it bring higher price,
but it costs less, for pure-bred stock
will make greater weight on Civ
en- amount OF feed than can be got
from feeding mongrels. Pure-bred
hens produce more eggs than mon
grels, and the chicks hatched from
their eggs may produce specimens of
extraordinary value even in the
hand of novice.
The man who breeds pure-bred ponl-
try of any kind always has the great
err value of his products in the open
market as an inducemeut to maintain
the purify of his stock. and besides
this the chance of producing large
percentage that may be sold at home
without effort for breeding stock at
much more than the market value.

5aokson.s Love for His wife.

Jackson's wife died suddenly just
after he had been elected President.
1t was great blow to him, and he
was never the same again, though
his strength of will and his desperate
courage fought with this infinite pain.
For the rest of his life he lived as
she would have had him live, guided
his actions by the thought of what
his wife living would have him do
loving her still. with the love that
passeth all understanding.
As the years went by, this love
became almost sacred. Every night
before he retired he read her prayer
book, with her miniature, which he
3 wore in his breast, placed be-
it. He was a lover still at
K,.ty-eigbt, for just before he died
laid, with lingering tenderness,
l .ven will be no heaven to me If
4 a. not meet my wife there"
He declined the sarcophagus fit for
an emperor, that he might be buri ed
as a simple citizen, in the garden by
her side. His last words were of her,
his last look rested upon her portrait,
that hung directly opposite his bed,
and If there be dreaming in the dark,
the vision of her brought him peace
at last-Woman's Home Companion.

ing something in its stead. This
greatly reduces the consumption OF
milk. and at present Americans do not
consume more than one-third as much
milk per capita as Is used in some
European countries, says Prof. w ].
Frazier, of the University of Illinois.
Many persons use as little milk as
possible, because of the careless way
IN which it is produced and the fear
that it may contain disease germs. AS
dairy products are usually consumed
in the raw state, there is, of course,
more danger on this account; but
when in proper condition, they are
both healthful and economical,
and wonld be consumed in much larg.
or quantities if people could always
obtain them clean and of good quality.
Simply because we are accustomed to
doing thing in a slipshod way is no
reason for its continuance We are
living in an age of the most rapid
change and Improvement, and the
sharpest competition. The public is be-
coming more intelligent and is de.
handing better food products year
after year. and unless the darymen
fall into line and march with the pro-
cession by producing clean milk and
dairy products their consumption will
certainly decrease. People will not
continue to drink milk in which a sed-
iment is found, and to eat poor butter
and cheese. 1t is then to the inter-
est of the dairymen themselves as we'll
as the general public that attention be
given to the production of milk, but
ter and cheese that are clean and at
tractive in appearance, as well as of
superior quality.
