The "WhyD of Hum us,

If farmer understands that humus
or vegetable matter is essential 10 fer
tility, that just in proportion as the
soil possesses it it is capable of yield
ing large crops that is about as much
as he needs TO know as practical
farmer. 1t is not necessary that he
should know exactly why it is SO. 1t
is well to know; however, when any
vegetable matter, whether green or
dry as when peas and other crops are
allowed to die ON the land, is turned
under the soil and becomes decom.
posed it is known as hunus. Until
the vegetable matter has become de-
composed it has no effect beyond keep
ing the soil more open absorbing and
holding some moisture that otherwise
would pass into the subsoil This il
itself is helpful, but the real rlanural
effects are obtained after it becomes
humus. Whatever nitrogen and pot
ash and phosphorus was contained in
the vegetable matter is then released
and can be used by q growing crop
A soil fully supplied with humus is
Kept porous and does not run together
and bake. 1t retains more moisture
and allows the carbonic acid of the at
nosphere to enter freely the soil and
from there be absorbed by the root
Jets of the plant. No doubt there is a
large proportion Of worn land in the
South that has plenty OF potash and
phosphorus easily made available if
only plenty of hunts could be given to
it. Huric acid is a solvent of those
minerals. When lands ere first
cleared they are more CT less rich in
both humus and u1decomposed veg
etaDle matter. Hammock lands where
the original growth was oak, hickory
or other hard woods are always richer
and have more lasting fertility than
pine lands. The former have accumu-
lated much more humus than the lat |
ter owing to their position and the ma
ture of the foliage Of the hardwoods. |

Schley's excuse for his very leisurely
progression from Cienfuegos to SAN
tlago. In that case the services of the
small vessel were purchased at entire
ly too high price. AS a writer in
Casters Magazine recently pointed
out, every such auxiliary adds to the
responsibility of the commander-in-
chief, and if it becomes a drag upon
the fighting ships its value is very CON
siderably lesSened. If the armored
cruisers and battleships could cut loose
from all impedimenta and steam to the
East at uniform rate of fifteen knots
for thirty days, their value would be
enormously increased. This Roiest-
vensky could not do even if he aban-
doned his motley auxiliaries, because
of the low speed Of his battleships, i'm
tied coal capacity and the fear Of ex-
posing himself to torpedo-boat attacks
without his scouts to guard him. Hence
1t is fact that in these days of ocean
flyers and speedy freighters the war
fleet bound for distant seas has made,
proportionately, a much smaller gain
in mobility and speed than suggests
itself when we read of record trial
trips of new cruisers or battleships.-,

The Little CorporaI's Hat.

The Five Academies constituting the
Institute of France have met and SOL
EMMY pondered the question of Ma

regulator of storms, the clerk of the
weather himself should preside. This
was M. Mascart, of the Academy of
Science, who controls the weather at
the Bureau Central de Meteorologie.
The hat which Napoleon wore at Wa
terloo had become the property of the
artist, Gerome, who had given E6SO for
it. Gerome left it in his will to the
Musee Condo, at Chantilly, which row
belongs to the Institute on the death
of the Due dAumale. But here is the
delicate position. The museum is full
of souvenirs of the Due d'Enghien, shot
without trial by Napoleon, and of his
family. Could the hat lie down with
the other relics? That was the ques-
ton the Institute discussed for a hour.
Finally the learned disputants decided
that it could. In the words of one OF
the Academicians: ''The hat of Aus

TOW Mrs. Leonard Saved Thousands Oh

by the appearance of a remarkable
looking "fat man." who entered the

said he was an Ohio farmer and did
not believe in banks, and so had bur-
led his money in the ground for safe
Keeping. He had dug it up, and was
Mortified 10 find that it was slowly
turning to dust, as notes will when
long buried. Panic stricken, he gath
cred the dsintegrated money into an
old pillow case, bound it around his
waist beneath his clothes and started
for Washington. He Travelled part of
the way on horseback part of the way

case. He even slept with it on. The
officials at the Treasury Department
found it difficult to make him part

a clerk to hotel for fear the clerk
might rob him, but it was manifestly
impossible for him to disrobe in the
office and he was forced to submit

Tall N-eadow Dat Grass.

Twill you kindly advise me what kind
Of grass seed would be best to sow

upland soil. I want pasture. Can l
get stand of tall oat grass by sowing

Probably one of the hardest and
best varieties of Grass you could sow
for pasture on a thin, sandy, upland
soil is tall oat grass. Tall oat grass
might be seeded on the wheat land
carly in the spring. 1t is now too late
to sow tall oat grass this fall. Your
chances of success with tall oat grass
will be better without a nurse crop.
You will need to seed at the rate Of
at least twenty pounds per acre.
Tall oat grass gives results some

the land on which it is grown, how

How ELI sprained His Ankle.

Did you ever hear how Eli Perkins
sprained his ankle? Well, neither has
any one else, though Perkins is willing
to tell the story-on one condition. That
condition is that no one laughs until
he finishes the story, and invaria bly,
his auditors fail to meet this require
ment
This is how he began the story at
the banquet given to the American
Press Humorists by the Business
Mems League of ST. Louis:
Your POSTMASTER, MI. Frank, has
my ankle. Well, I shall tell you. if
you will not laugh until 1 finish the
story; but am afraid you'll laugh, for

ways laughed before l got through.
This is how it happened: | was on
train going East, when there was a
wreck. The train was derailed, and
all the passengers were more or less
shaken up. Everybody in The sleeping
car tried to get out as hurriedly as pos
sible, and in the confusion our cloth
ing got considerably mixed. couldn't
find my trousers at all; but finally
did find a pair of trousers, but
couldn't wear 'em. You see, they We're

Here there was general laughter, and
Perkins looked about in a panied sort
of way, then went on: There, you
laughed. 1 knew you would. They
were not mems trousers; they were
boys trousers. But l won't tell you
how I sprained my ankle. because you

ArticIlokes.

The following item from the Farm
er's Voice treats of species of stock
food that has not been tested in Flor
ida so far as we have known. 1t is
tuberous rooted species of sunfower.
There is no doubt that it would yield
large crops of good feed with very
little labor.
At Leroy a farmer has planted an
acre of artichokes as an experiment
for feeding hogs and is gratifed at the
result. The land has made an i'm
mense yield, and the swine devour
greedily both stalk and root If APP
pearances justify judgment, it would
be difficult to find anything that bet
ter ministers to hog growth. The
farmer assured me that the yield OF the
acre of land s,worth to him for feed
ing purposes $50.

How to Stay Young.

How old are you? The adage says
that women are as old as they look
and men as old as they feel. A man
and woman are as old as they take
themselves to be.
Growing old is largely the habit Of
the mind. "As a man thinketh in his
heart so is he." If he begins shortly
after middle age to imagine himself
growing old he will be old.
To keep oneself from decreptitude
is somewhat matter of will power.
The fates are kind to the man who
hangs on to life with both HANDS. He
who let's go will go. Death is slow
only to tackle the tenacious.
Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong
place for the fountain of youth. 1t is
in oneself. One must keep oneself
young inside. SO that while 'the outer
man perisheth the inner man is re-
newed day by day."
When the human ceases to exert it
self, when there is no longer an active
interest in the affairs of this life, when
the human stops reading and thinking
and doing, the man, like a blasted tree,
begins to die at the top.
You are as old as you think you are.
Keep the harness on. The job is not
done.-Milwaukee Journal.

A TaiIor's Blunder.

At one time in his career Senator
Blackburn, of Kentucky, was rather q
dandy in his way. While so afflicted
he ordered pair of trousers from his
tailor, and he expressly stipulated that
they were to be skin tight. The trou-
sers came home and the Senator tried
them on. He went right to the tailor
and opened fire on him. What in the
name OF everything unprintable do
you mean by sending me trousers like
that?" he shouted. "Why, you said
to make them skin tight" said the
tailor. "Skin tightw yelled the Sena-
tor. Eyes, by this and that, said skin
tight. l wanted them merely skin
tight. 1 can sit down in my skin
and 1 can't in se."-Kansas City

About Grating.

OF course this is not the season for
grating, but it is a good time to talk
about it. Anybody can graft, and if
farm fruit growers would but think so
and do it, great improvement could be
made in all old orchards.
In top grating | never make
square cut. l always cut at an angle
of forty-fve degrees and put in one
scion. I never cut a branch so big
that one scion would not be sufficient.
Even if it is two and one-half inches
in diameter l just put in one scion.
l just begin at the top and saw it
right down at sharp angle, and then
with my knife 1 cut off the top and put
my scion ON there. Many times you
can set graft without ever making
crack. Cleft grating is the best way.
use one part of tallow, two parts OF
beeswax, and four parts Of resin for
my grating wax. That will make
wax that will work in almost any
weather when you are able to do
grating.
In grating tree it depends upon
the tree itself. If it is a small tree,
might cut the whole thing off and just
put on one scion and have a straight
scion of it, but, IS rule, / would
rather go up to where 1 had several
scions to put in and make them small
er.
Rather than cut a great, large limb
like my arm I would go higher. Never
cut off closer to the fork than about
four inches, because if you happen to
fail you can let q few sprouts grow on
that, and the next year you have room
to make another cut a little farther
back.-H. e. V.-D., in Southern Fruit
Grower.

These soils are rarely worn out COM
pletely by culture where they are pro-
tected from washing. They are
capable of being brought back to the
highest state of fertility by system
of farming that restores their lost
vegetable matter. In earlier times it
was the practice when land became
badly worn to turn them out to grow
up in weed, briars. and whatever else
might spring up on the land. New
land was opened up and in its turn
worn out and turned out. And thus it
went on. 1t is we'll enough to allow
a certain part of our worn lands to go
back into forest from time to time,
but the part most capable of being re-
stored should be devoted to pastoral
farming where pasture and meadow
take the place of crops requiring
clean culture, where beef, pork, NUT
ton, wool take the place of cotton, corn
to a great extent if not exclusively.
Under this system there is a whole
sale Improvement secured in no other
way and there is every reason to be-
lieye that before many years a large
part of Southern lands will be de-
voted to this system of farming, Flor.

Dog and EAGLE.

The best eagle story that has been
told for many a day comes from
Dauphiny. At the village of Romans
farmers dog was lying asleep, when
large eagle swooped upon it. Reused
by the pain Of the birds talons in his
flesh, the dog seized one of the eagles
legs fast between his teeth, biting the
limb through and through, and holding
on until the bird was completely beat
en- and captured. When the farmer
arrived it was too exhausted to fight
longer for its life. The wings meas
ured fifty-eight inches from tip to tip
