Manure For Clover Lands.

Considerable has been written in this
department in favor of spreading the
smanure on the farm during the winter
as fast as it is made, provided the
weather will permit. Undoubtedly
this method of dlsposing Of the manure
for the benefit of the crop applies TO
any soil that is reasonably level. but
its good effects are more noticeable
on clover lands than elsewhere in the
experience of the writer. On every
open day during the winter the ma
nure is carried from the barn and put
on the clover until such fields Lave re-
ceived all needed.
The result is that the clover gets an
early start and when it is to be plowed
under for the corn crop, we follow clov-
er with corn in the plan of rotation,
1t is two feet high and all that it has
gained from the manure is turned
back to the soil for the benefit of the
succeeding crop. This is sensible ar.
Gument is it not? Try it and see how
much greater profit is made from the
manure supply.

Luther Burbank, writing in Rural
New Yorker. says that every expert.
enced nurseryman trims all the small
side roots off his nursery stock before
planting. This is a universal custom,
and In my experiments ! have found
that seedlings and very young trees
should always be treated in this way
under all circumstances. A young
Seeding tree which has had its roots
cut of to within few inches of the
collar, and the top almost wholly re-
moved, will in all cases make a far
better growth than the one planted
with all its roots, even if the top
should be removed. Of course. it is
necessary 10 remove the top III pro-
portion to the amount of roots re-
moved, and strange as il may seem. it
Is especially necessary to prune the
roots short when they are to be plant
ed on land that has little moisture
near the surface. For trees having
many side roots divide their forces in
starting in all directions, instead of
making good, substantial main tap.

will always proceed TO do. Though of
universal application, these facts are
especially applicable to dry climates
like California and Texas.

Goo,l Orchard Treatment.

In central New York there is a four
teen-year-oid orchard that has always
} been managed on an exceedingly sen.
sible and profitable plan. The branches
are trained to the spreading habit
4 which opens the tree TO the air and
sun. For about eight years the or.
Ichard was plowed and planted to
crops, which require thorough cult
walton like corn, beans and potatoes
b Then 1t was seeded down with alfalfa
and inoculated. This developed very
thick sod which is cut three times a
year for hay. This hay is fed to stock
and then the manure is all hauled
back again and spread around the
trees. Under this system the orchard
has made very remarkable growth.

Mnlstnre In the Soil

The relations of oil and water to the
soil may be better understood by some
easily made experiments which any
one can undertake. If a pot, pail or
any suitable vessel is filled with Ger.
tain weight (say. 100 pounds) of per.
fectly dry soil dried in an oven, the
heat, of course, changes the soil mois.
ture into vapor and drives it off into
the air. If this dry soil is weighed
several days later it will be found Il
few pounds heavier, the increase being
due TO water absorbed from the air
by the soil, just as happens with
quicklime or salt If the room is
closed and water boiled on the stove
until the room Is filled with vapor, the
soil in the pot may gain an increase
in weight. This is called the hygro.
scopic moisture of the soil, deriving its
name from having come from a va
porous condition in the air. where its
amount can only be measured by
means of an instrument known as
hygroscope This microscopic mos.
ture enters into the very fibre of the
soil particles, rather than attaching
itself merely to their surfaces as does
capillary moisture. II n fine spray is
now thrown OH the soil in the pot the
tiny drops would he eagerly seized by
the small particles of soil, for, while
the soil cannot ynther and condensc
more of the vapor of water from the
air, and associate it with its own par
ticles, ii at once shows strong at
traction for water in the liquid form.
The water and the surface particles
seem to desire the closest touch with
each other, and as water is n mobile
fluid, IL spreads out over the surfaces
of the minute soil particles, enters in
to the pores within the particles and
fills the capillary spaces between them.
A hard rain packs the ground, the
moisture, however, going into the

rate from the ground during warm,

the surface is lost that from below
rises by capillary attraction to take
its place. Millions of small tubes are
formed, through which the water is
drawn upward. and TO prevent the
loss the tubes should he broken off or

the surface soil is stirred to the depth

TWO NEW NAVAL BUILDINGS.

Two bill have been introduced into
congress, each having for its object
the establishment of an auxiliary force
for the navy, one provides for a
naval reserve, the other for a naval
militia. The naval reserve bill Is the
more important one, for the force
which 1t proposes to create is purely
a federal one not In the slightest
degree under state control. and there
fore is departure from all previous
suggestions for the creation of AM
auxiliary naval force. Both meas
ures We're drawn by naval officers, and
both have been considerably discuss
ed in naval circles.
The naval reserve bill provides for
the creation of naval force of 90, 1000
men all officers of which are to be
appointed only after rigid examina-
tion into their professional qualiflca-
tions: preference being given grad
yates of the naval academy and to
those who saw service In the navy
army or marine corps during the war
with Spain.
A term of enlistment of Ave years
is provided, during which time all Of
fcers and seamen must hold them
selves in readiness to enter the service
on call. When called into service Of
ficers and men are to receive the same
pay as those belonging to the regular
navy. An appropriation OF 5000 900
is made for the organization and in
struction of the naval reserve.
The navy militia bill provides for
the organization of naval militia
along lines similar to the army militia
and makes provision for bringing the
