The mechanical condition of the soil
has very much to do with its produc-
tiveness-far more than most farmers
think for. 1t is an easy matter for the
soil to be too wet or too dry, to be too
cold or too warm, to be In such condi-
ton that 1t will admit too much air CT
not enough. It matters not how much
fertility the soil may possess, II the
mechanical condition Of the soil Is not
right the plant food which Ii contains
Is not available. A lack Of humus In
the soil, very common condition on
all lands long cropped with grain
crops, always insures an unfavorable
condition Of the soil. 1t runs and be-
comes a mortar bed In a wet time and
bakes and cracks In a dry time. The
good farmer will seek to remedy this
common fault by giving the land rest.

Mining for Rubies in India.

From the Search Light.
The system practiced for obtaining rubies
in the mining districts in Burmah is of the
most primitive description. The mining
shafts are simply holes about two feet
square, sunk to depth varying up to fifty
or sixty feet. The snoring up of the walls
of the shaft is most crude, the sides being
supported by posts at the corners ana
branches of small trees secured carefully
against the sides by means of stout sticks.
The miner carries a tin pot similar In
shape to a blunt edged cone on his head
He sauats down in one corner and digs be-
tween his knees in the opposite corner. me
earth or byon. as the ruby-bearng earth Is
called. is conveyed to the top as fast as IL
is excavated. In small buckets let down
from above.
The apparatus for raising and lowering
the buckets is simple in the extreme. A
stout bamboo post about twenty feet high.
called a maungdine, is fixed upright In the
ground at a convenient distance from the
pit or dwin. and a long. thinner bamboo.
pivoted horizontally into the upper end Of
it, so as to project an eighth from the mine
and the long arm toward the mine.
