ever, it is not an expensive plan to ar

may be secured to the ground, yet
easily lifted and removed to another
portion Of the range when desired.
The plan is worth the attention of all

Investigating the Soils.

Investigating the Soils.
For the sake of supplying definite
and absolutely reliable information in
regard to every square mile Of land
In the 1922, 1913 which compose the
area Of the United States of America.
Uncle Sam, through the Bureau Of
Soils Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. will spend eighteen years and
at least $6,0OO,OOO. When the work
OF the Bureau of Soils has been com
pleted, 1t will be possible for man
intending to purchase farm to write
to the Department Of Agriculture, and
secure from that department a detail
ed map of the section in which his
farm is located. together with a de-
scriptlon of the section. Then by look
ing up his intended purchase on the
map and consulting the descriptive
booklet, he can determine to nicely
its value. The map will show by diff
erent colors the nature of the soil.
while the descriptive booklet will tell
its value which has been determined
by examination Of the soil, study Of the
railroad facilities, and the eXamina-
ton Of the markets and other qualify
ing conditions. The soil maps and
booklets will enable many farmers,
who have been only partially success
full. to learn wherein they have failed
by trying to raise crops unadapted to
the nature of their lands, and will in
struct them as TO what crops are best
suited to their farms. 1t will instruct
them also as to the best methods Of
cultivating soils of different kinds.
While the examination of soils has
been carried on for perhaps hundred
years by laboratory methods, the pres
ent investigation is along entirely diff
ferent and far more practicable lines.
The soils division was established as
separate bureau Of the Department
Of Agriculture on July 1, 1901. and
since that time its force has been in
creased more than twelvefold Up to

the invention Of a western man, the
object being to produce a shooting
shirt that is worn outside the trousers
In making such garments, says thI
New Orleans Times-Democrat, Il has
been customary to attach the patch
pockets to different parts Of the gar,
ment, which for shooting purposes is
not very satisfactory, because il tends
to drag the garment out of shape, but

providing pockets extending all around
the bottom Of the shirt il consists Of
body portion with any desired form
of sleeves and a front opening which
extends part way down the front. Tor
shell pockets the end of the shirt is
turned mp and secured to the body Of
the shirt by seams on the front. sides
and back, thus forming pockets around
the bottom of the shirt Being inte-
grail with the shirt, they are, therefore,
stronger, as well as much simpler to
make, This does away with the dis
advantage Of patch pocket and allows
OF pocket extending all around the
shirt. Suitable buttons can be secured
to the shirt body, to which the pockets
may be buttOned near the top.
