Lachine, Canada.-Night blindness is
an ailment prevalent among lumber
men who work in shanues remote

luxury. In most instances the persons
affected have the normal use OF their
eyesight from sunrise TO sunset. but
are stone blind when the sun is below
the horizon.
Sometimes the trouble comes on
slowly, beginning with a iimness of
vision at morning and evening, and in
creasing until it is impossible for the
patient TO STIR outside except when the
bln is high. At other times. and es-
pecially in the bright days of March.
when the glare of the sun upon the
snow is trying to all eyes. night bind
ness sets in suddenly.
There was a curious case OF this sud
den coming on of the blindness in the
Ottawa lumber district. near Beaver
lake. Four men had been detailed to
mark the logs laid upon the ice. and
they had worked three or four DAYS in
the glazing light Of the March sun re-

no particularly bad results. Two of
them were sufferers from night blind
ness and had TO be led home at nizht
by their comrades. and as their shanty
was four miles away from the lake il
was their custom to start back a little
before sundown.
One day they had about finished

FERTILITY OF THE SOIL.
Valuable Facts Boiled Down for the
Farmer During the Busy
Season

TIE following brief facts are boiled
down from an article by Prof. {. G. Hop
kins OF the Illinois College OF Agricul-
ture on Fertility OF the SoiI:"
Different types Of soil produce differ
snt crop yields under the same condi-
lions
Soils side by side. but cultivated diff
ferently for term OF years, produce
very different yields.
The same soil differs at different
times. according TO its cultivation and
other treatment and lack OF treatment.
One soil will produce 20 bushels OF
corn. another 40 bushels. another so
bushels.
One soil is worth $50 an acre. another
tl0o per acre. another $500 per acre
largely because Of their difference in fer
ulity or productive capacity.
Soil can be run down"
Soil can be improved.
The fertility Of soil can be maintained.
II is worth money 10 know soils and
be able 10 improve them.
The study OF soils is vitality connected
with profit and propriety in farming. the
greatest industry in Illinois.
Neither live stock nor clover, nor both
together, will maintain the fertility OF
the soil
The only way: Preserve good physi-
eal conditions and then put back upon
the land all of the fertility which is
taken on"
While there are ten essentials of plant
food, seven OF them are usually supplied
In abundance. but nitrogen. phosphorus
and potassium are rather limited in
most soils. So the study Of fertility is
