AGRICULTURE
Humus and Fertilizers.

There is close relationship be-
tween humus and fertilizers in their
work in the soil. The humus is de-
caying vegetable matter in the soil.
which still holds part of it's cell for
nation. 1t still has in it some nitro
gen and much moisture il there Is
moisture anywhere in the soil. Its
ability to hold moisture is a great
source OF its value to the crop, as
the land will thus hold in it enough
moisture to carry the crop over
drouth and also has in it in the form
OF humus a lightener Of the soil that
prevents it baking.
1t has become quite widely accepted
among gardeners as a principle that
the more humus there is in the sou
the more commercial fertilizer can
they use to advantage. To get this
humus the men that use the most
commercial fertilizers buy large guam
titles of barnyard manure, not for the
sole purpose of getting the manura'
value that is in it, but for the pur'
pose of getting the land into a condi
ton where still greater quantities OF
potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogeg
can be utilized.
In the eastern states many farm
have been robbed of their humus by
certain crops being grown on them
year after year. When the crops be.
gan to fail the owners began to put
on commercial fertilizers with moth
ing to help supply humus. The lane
yielded better crops for few years
and then refused to respond even to
the applications of commercial fer
tilizers. The ground hardened quick
| ly when a drouth came and the
plants died. 1t was the lack OF humus
or vegetable matter in the soil. The
proper way to secure this is by means
| OF crops turned under or by the use
Of barnyard manure. One good way
to keep up the supply Of humus Is tc
have three or four year rotation Of
crops, in which clover comes in Al
one crop. The turning under of the
clover sod will give considerable
amount Of humus.

Babu Horse Enqlish.

Here is Bombay native students
essay on the horse:
The horse is very noble Quadru
ped, but when he is angry he will not
do so. He Is ridden on the spinal
cord by the bride, and sadly the
driver place his foots on the stirrup,
and drives his lower limbs across the
saddle, and drives his animal to the
meadow. He has a long mouth, and
his head is attached to the trunk by
long protuberance called the neck.
He has four legs, two are in the front
side and two are afterward. These
are the weapons on which he runs,
he also defends himself by extending
those in the rear in parallel direc-
ton toward his foe, but this he does
only when in vexatious mood. His
flooding is generally grasses and
grains. He is also useful to take on
his back man or woman as we'll as
some cargo. He has power to run as
fast as he could. He has got no sleep
at night time, and always standing
awaken. Also there are horses OF
short sizes. They do the same as the
others are generally doing. There is
no animal like the horse; no sooner
they see their guardian or master
they always crying for flooding, but il
is always at the morning time. They
have got tail, but not so long as the
COW and other such like similar ami
mals.-Liverpool Post.

Crop Production Essentials.

For the production of our common
farm crops there are few essential
things that must not be overlooked,
II we expect to find profit in oul
farming. One of these is soil on
which the solid water-called the wa
ter understands thirty inches OF
more below the surface. We car
grow plants in almost any soil II the
mechanical arrangement of the soil
particles is right, and if the water sup
ply is SO balanced in the soil thai
capillary attraction will simply draw
enough of it to keep thin film Of
water around the soil particles and
around the seeds or rootlets in the
soil. This water film is not thick
enough to prevent tho operation Of
the air in the soil, the gases of which
are appropriated by the plants. This
water balance is one of the essentials
Of crop production.
Another factor is heat, which mus,
be not only in the air but also in the
soil. Why plants need heat in the
soil to help them grow we do not
know, but it appears to be necessary
Heat is surely needed in the air ovel
the plants, as has been demonstrated
by all experience. The greater the sup
ply of heat the more rapidly is the
water drawn through the plants from
below with its supply of soluble plant
food. This rapidity Of movement il
controlled by the evaporation of the
moisture from the surface of the
leaves, which evaporation is the grea
pump that keeps up the circulation o.
the sap.
Another factor of plant production
Is to have all the elements of plan
food present in the required proper
tons. If all but one are abundant the
lack of that one will prevent the
growth of the plant If one is in small
supply relative to the needs of tn.
plant, the development of the plan
will be meager Nitrogen cannot b.
substituted for potassium nor potas
SUM for phosphorus. The plant de
mands certain proportion of eacl

FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This a,nous Show
PIace-Its Tremendous Electrical
Power the lnducement.

Niagara Falls, August THE
volume OF water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of practical wiping out OF this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
curing more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user OF the
electricity produced by the waters of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
so much broken rock but in contact
with water 1t springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
70 sunlight known.
These facts, though of compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings Of all descriptions.
from the ordinary barn of the farmer
to the country villa Of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets of a
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed,
and the manufacture and sale OF
acetylene generators has become 9
business of recognized standing, has
| assumed large proportions and is
steadily growing.

Clean the Pond.

A good many farmers have ponds
on their farms and wish to keep
them. 1t is, however, good
plan to have the pond so that
it can be drained partly and
cleaned out in the way of cutting
rushes and reeds that fill the water
near the banks and wherever it is
shallow. When ponds have a good
slope below them it is possible to
deepen the outlet few feet and in
the dryest time of summer permit the
water to flow out and give opportunity
to cut the Objectionable weeds. The
outlet if narrow can be easily supplied
with a gate that will keep the water
in when it is wanted. II ponds are to
remain part of the farm they should
be made as slightly in appearance as
possible. Cutting the reeds and rushes
will make the pond better to take ice
from and better for the boys to skate
on.
