sulphuric Acid and Plants.

Some recent experiments in Europe
have opened up an entirely new field
in relation to the effect of sulphuric
acid on the soil. 1t has been almost
universally conceded and believed that
sulphuric acid In the soil reduces
many Of the soil elements to COM
pounds that could not be used by the
plants. The recent experiments re.
ferred to consisted in the application
of sulphuric acid in the form of So
dunn sulphate, and plants were treated
with varying quantities of these In.
gradients. The experiment was car.
ried on for two years, during which
time the sulphuric acid actually in
creased the yield of the plants, &C.
cording to the belief of the expert.
mentors. One of the great arguments
against calculated fertilizers is that
after few years this sulphuric acid
fleets the soil very disadvantagecys
ly. II II can be shown that sulphurtc
acid Is Of value to the soil 1t will en-
tirely change the opinion of agricul-
turists on the matter of the use of
the calculated fertilizers.--James Tit.

Mixed Grasses for Pasture.

mixed grasses in the pastures we can

few years. | had pasture that was
filled with the wild grasses that have
been growing on this continent for
ages. | decided to pillow around the
stumps and put in mixed grasses, and
did so. put in few acres at time.
In some places the sod was so thin
that all | had to do was to run over
it with the harrow and SOW the seed.
The result has been most gratifying.
The mixed grasses make a thicker sod
than any one single grass will and
thus stands the trampling of cattle
and other farm stock better. Also the
grasses mature at different times and
thus when one kind is in decadence
some other kind is approaching matur-
ity. The thickness of the grass pro-
tects the roots and keeps the ground
from drying out. | find that | can

AGRICULTURE
The STUDY Of Soils.

There is no study that will prove
more profitable to the farmer than
the study of soils. Everywhere aSri
culturfsts are coming to realize the
Importance of this study and are Civ
Ing to 1t the attention that it deserves
In nearly every state in the Union the
state government has taken up the
matter as has also the National Gov
eminent. When the soil survey work
of the United States Government was
begun on its present large scale there
were many who believed that this eSs
penditure Of money was in part un.
necessary, They could not see how
the mere knowing about the soils
should improve it's condition. They
could not see why drawing maps OF
states and representing thereon the
various kinds of soils could prove OF
any financial value to the agricultur-
lists of such states. II was only after
years work and after the soil sur
vey OF some states had been partly
completed that the real results began
to be seen. The first states in which
the work has been partly completed is
Illinois. Investigations OF the differ
ent soil surveys has brought to light
the condition of the soils In whole
counties, and has shown what is need.
ed in these soils to. make them valu-
able. This could not be foreseen by
the critics of the soil surveys.
The knowing Of the condition of the
soils has resulted in the finding out OF
a way to greatly increase their value
The soil survey in Illinois has demon
strated the fact that there are mil
lions of acres of land only partly pro
ductive because of the large amount
of acid In the soil. Having learned
this fact it was an easy matter for
the scientists to find remedy. They
know that it merely requires an APP.
plication Of lime to make these soils
double In value. The increased value
of Illinois soils alone, due to this dis
covery, and the application of rem
edy, will be greater than the entire
expense of all soil surveys and soil
studies in the United States.

The Law of Compensation in Stock
Breeding.

The Law of Compensation In Stock
Breeding.
What Is known as the law OF com.
pensation has been long discussed in
its relation to human life. 1t applies
equally well, however, to animal life,
This law is described as being that
tendency Of all things TO equalize
themselves. This is expressed in the
idea that there can be no gain without
loss, and no loss without gain; that
what we call Improvement is merely
a change of the balance of the quail
ties OF an animal. We cannot gain
any good thing without sacrificing
some good thing; we cannot produce
a beef animal whose muscles will be
tender and full of juice without pro-
1ucing an animal that will lack in har-
illness, lack in the power OF caring
for himself in the fields. and largely
.ack the power to resist disease. What
we call Improvement is changing an
animal so that he will be more useful
% man and not changing him so that
he will be more useful to himself.
Judged from the standpoint of the an
NAL, the well-developed beef steer is
Inferior to his ancestors. He cannot
walk so rapidly, and could not get so
much food from a scant pasture as
,ould the undeveloped steer. IL at
acked by the wolves, he could not run
asst enough to escape them. He could
Jump neither ditch nor fence. If
brought to bay, his horns would not
compare as defensive weapons to the
'ong horns of the steer that existed
fifty years ago. We see, therefore,
hat the term Improvement" is rela-
live. 1t relates only to the animal
viewed from the standpoint of man.
Also, what would be Improvement in
The eyes of one man in one country
would be decline In quality in another
country. Thus the Eskimo wants a
reindeer that, first, is a good traveller,
and, second, is a good milk producer.
The reindeer cannot be developed

Film Moisture.

Film moisture is the moisture in The
soil that just surrounds each particle
of sand or soil with thin coat of wa
ter. The film around one particle
touches the films of adjacent PARTICLES
The attraction of the particle draws
the film tight around it and each new
particle above that one does the same.
When film of water touches a soil
particle above 1t that dry particle
draws the water with great force to
cover itself. The film of water is
drawn from the soil particle below.
but in turn pulls up the next particle
film below it, or, rather, the soil par.
ticle does that by its attraction. So
the water films work up toward the
surface of the ground We call that
capillary attraction. When the films
covering the particles reach the sur
face Of the soil they become exposed
to the air and the moisture on the top
of the elm is evaporated or turned
into gas. The films below push up tc
supply the need caused by the vacancy
in a part of the water film collection.
When these films are disturbed by the
cultivator the upward movement OF
the film moisture is stopped till tho
soil particles have settled back In
place and new films have worked
around the soil particles once more
brought into touch with the film wa.
ter below. This is why we cultivate
ground to prevent the loss of soil

The beef calf that is born
in the fall must be kept growing.
This will require more care on the
part of the farmer than it would re-

pastures of early summer. The fall
calf must be kept warm rs well as be

dam begins to be insufficient other

VARYING Prices.

One of the greatest OBJ
a!sc!eS to the successful pro-
iucrinn of stock is the
eternal variability of the prices
Of things connected with stock
raising. The prices of cattle and
all other classes of live stock vary
from day to day. The prices of feeds
also vary. Moreover the prices of all
human foods that enter into competi,
ton with meats vary. If the farmer
could have fixed prices for all things
the business Of stock raising could be
reduced to an almost exact science.
This has been the dream of the men
that have successfully tried to form
great farm organizations for the con-
troll Of all farm products. The farmer
must, however, continue to raise stock
under conditions that make success a
matter of skill and great intelligence.
