FOREMAN IN GOVERNMENT
BOOK BlNDERY WINS.
THE CASE ABOUT SETTLED
Reports Circulated in Capital That
Charges Have Been Dismissed
Dubbed "Not Serious" But Office
May Now be Equipped With Ma
chinery.

Washington, Aug. 13.-It was re-
ported yesterday that the charges
against Assistant Foreman Miller, of
the book-bindery division of the gov
eminent printing office, have been dis
missed, that Miller will be retained in
the service of the government and that
as a result of the trouble, type-setting
machines and other improved machin-
cry will be installed in the printing Of
fee.
When officers of the government,
who have the matter in hand, were
asked about the reports, they would
make no definite statement 1t was
admitted, both by Public Printer
Palmer and Secretary CortelyOu, that
the new charge filed by the book-bind-
ers' union had been reviewed, and that
action in the case would be taken in a
few days. Up to the present time,
however, nothing had been decided.
Little doubt remains that Miller will
continue in MS place.
Concerning the case, Public Printer
Palmer said:
1.-The reports that we have settled
the case are untrue. We have not
yet reached any definite conclusion.
So far as we have gone, however, the
charges do not seem TO be serious"
As To the reports that machinery is
to be installed, Mr.. Palmer said that
such reports had been in circulation
for long time, but that nothing
definite had ever been decided upon. 1t
is a matter of which congress must be
consulted before action is taken.

below the waterline and sunk. He
got across the dividing line, however,
and the Petrol gave up the pursuit.

How Nature TiIls the Land.

Nature made the lands, in a great
part of our state, rich and fertile. How
did she do it? If we study nature
and note how she is working to main
tain the richness of the land and how
she has been doing to build up the
soil, then, possibly we can, If We will,
stop this waste. For thousands OF
years where timber has grown on the
land, the annual crop of leaves has
been deposited on the ground, and
the trunks and branches of the trees,
one after another, have fallen on the
ground and decayed, becoming vege-
table mold Occasionally, a tree
would turn up by the roots, thus
bringing up portion of the subsoil
and setting it on edge Do that the
elements-the air. sun, frost and
rain-could act on it, and make solu-
BILE and available the plant food con-
tained in it. AS this subsoil, brought
up by the overturning trees, is crum-
bled and leveled down through the
processes of nature, it bures up a
large amount of the decaying leaves
and wood that have fallen on the
ground, and in this way the land is
plowed and cultivated, sometimes
very deeply, and the decaying vege-
table matter thoroughly mixed in so
that the soil is filled with humus.
Humus is not only plant food, but it
enables the soil to hold much more
water than 1t would without the hu-
mus. The roots of the trees and
shrubs and some plants that grow in
the woods, send their roots down
deep in the earth, thus disintegrat-
ing the soil and letting air into it,
and when these roots die, as they
will in time, they add more humus to
the soil.-C. P. Goodrich.

Husbanding Soil Fertility.

This is the great lesson to be
learned by this generation. Our faith
ers knew nothing of it. They found
land so rich in plant food and in
humus that they deemed it impossi-
Bile to wear out the soil. They took
innumerable crops from the land, and
threw their manure into the river
and streams. 1t become a habit to
rob the land. Plant food and humus
In the land were growing less and
less with each succeeding year, but
they did not know it. AS the humus
went. the ability CT the soil to hold
moisture went with it. The farmers
began to believe that the years were
getting more drouthy, though this was
not the case. Their land had lost
power to resist drouth. This was
for two reasons. TT humus had
held moisture in the soil, and the
richness had developed large plants.
which in turn sent their roots down
into the subsoil. With the lessening
of the fertility. plants made small
root growth and so failed to reach
the supplies of moisture in the cool
soil far below. When a few hot weeks
came. the small rooted plants soon
wilted and the ground deficient OF
humus dried out. 1t is said that the
presence Of humus doubles the capa-
city OF ordinary soil to hold water.
Humus can be restored to the soil
only by the use of barnyard manure
and OF green crops plowed under
Where the clovers can be grown,
the decay Of their roots in the soil
will hep matters some. The clover
Is likely to fail on land devoid of
humus, and this complicates matters
IN attempting to bring back the soil
to its first estate.
The first thing for farmers to do is
to prevent further loss of fertility
and humus. Unfortunately, there are
multitudes Of farmers to-day still fol-
lowing the old wasteful methods and
running the rich heritages they have
received from their parents. We may
expect to see their farms become
poorer year by year, till they pass
into the hands of the men that hold
the mortgages or go to people that
buy them for song. 1t is much
easier to conserve tie fertility and
humus of our lands than it is to re-
store them when they have been dis
sipated.-Farmers' Review.

In Buying Glover Seed.

A bulletin Of the Department of
Agriculture says: The prices charged
for clover seed vary greatly, each
large dealer having two or more
grades, of different prices. Unfor-
tunately for the buyer, each dealer
has his own grade names, and even
the standard terms, prime, choice and
fancy, as used by different dealers, do
not always mean the same thing. If
for these indefinite terms could be
substituted a statement Of the per.
centage of pure and germinable seed
the buyer could tell at once what sam.
pie was the most advantageous for
him to buy. 1t is safe general con.
clusion that the sample which, while
reasonably free from weed seeds, con-
tains the largest amount of pure and
vigorously terminating clover at the
least cost is the best one for the
farmer to buy. Low-prlced SAMPLES
seldom fulfill this condition, nor do
those sold at exorbitantly high prices
Usually the high grade, medium
priced samples are really the cheap.
est, but the only way to determine the
value of sample is to test the seed
The result of the purity test shows
how much pure seed is present and
the termination test determines how
much of this pure seed will grow.
