To Keen Up Soil Fertility.

Agriculture demands and deserves all
the investigation which is being given
to tit is in need of, and is worthy
Of, all the Investigators whose services
are being devoted to this greatest of
all our industries: but let us remem-
Der that it is only a genius who can
draw correct conclusions from incom-
plete data or insufficient premises;
that we are to use all obtainable in
formation to guide us, and that we
are to work together as a unit for the
betterment of American agriculture.
The work is greater than any man or
any Office. Let every man develop
and magnify the line of work which
he is called upon to perform, but let
us neither decry nor ignore nor I'M
derestimate the value of any other
good work. And God speed the time
when we shall agree on some funda-
mental principles; and when we shall
discover and demonstrate the best and
most economic methods for the perma-
nent maintenance or increase of the
productive capacity of our soils, not
only by maintaining the most suitable
physical conditions of the soil and by

SkjmmjIk for the Fowls

The more skimmilk the fowls use
the better. In spite of all that has
been said in favor of this kind of food
a good many farmers give all the
skimmilk they have to the pigs and
let the fowls subsist on grain alone.
Often the pigs have more than they
can eat, and in such case large
part of the milk is wasted. Fowls
make such good use of milk as par.
tial ration that it's feeding should not
be neglected.

The Malays have a strange way of
recording the hours. In a bucket ALL
ed with water, they place a cocoanut
shell having small preforation, through
which, by slow degrees, the water
ends its way inside. This opening Is
so proportional that 1t takes just one
nour for the shell to I'LL and sink.
Then Waterman calls out, and makes
4 record; the shell Is emptied and the
process Is begun again.

10000 tons Of coal per month and
when the road Is built that much will
be produced on the La Plata for the
use of the PhelpG.Dodge company
