Not Excluding American Students.

The authorities of the University Of
Berlin say that statements published
abroad to the effect that the stringent
regulations concerning the admission
of students are designed to exclude
Llany Americans altogether are untrue.
Amy graduate of an American college
who presents passport and the diDlo-
ma Of bachelor Of arts or any other
equivalent degree will be admitted
without any questions. 1t is true that
the diplomats of some of the smallest
institutions bearing the name of col
leges are omitted from the list of those
recognized. The new regulations are
directed against Russians not having
sufficient means of support or who are
accidentally unqualified.

In connection with rotation of crops
the land should be improved every
year There is point beyond which
soils can not be permanently enriched
without an improvement of their con-
stitutional organization, which, how
ever, may be done by supplying artifi-
cially those ingredients Of a good soil
of which they are deficient, such as
lime, and even sand or clay, if posi-
bic, for without changes in the cOnsti-
tutional organization Of the soil we can
not hope to carry its fertility perma
nently beyond what it has acquired in
a state of nature Soils which have
been reduced merely by cultivation
where they have not been injured by
washing rains, may be easily reno
waited, and this must be done by again
supplying them with those ingredients
OF which they have been deprived by
bad husbandry. This may be done in
part by the application of manures,
whence we are to draw much Of the
necessary supply of vegetable food, and
to this end farmers should freely cult
vate those crops which derive most Of
their food from it. In soils adapted
for its cultivation, red clover is most
suitable for this purpose; it is by far
the most convenient and the cheapest
mode Of renovating exhausted soils,
not only supplying much vegetable
matter to soils that have been much
reduced, but it is admirably calculated
to puIverize and reduce its component
parts to a finely divided state, thus
producing condition favorable to a
combination with those elementary
substances which are furnished by the
atmosphere, thereby greatly increasing
its capacity for absorbing moisture.
Even weeds, previous to the time of
ripening their seeds, derive much of
their nutriment from the atmosphere,
and by destroying them before they
produce seed their product in vegeta-
BILE matter goes to renovate that soil
upcu which they have been grown.

six-Year Crop Rotation.

A six-yesr rotation of grain crops

In the rotation, is reported by the In
diana Experiment Station. With con-
tinuous grain cropping the average
yield of wheat for six years was 20G
bushels per acre. With clover in the
rotation the average yield of wheat
was 26.6 bushels. The plots used in
this experiment were unfertilized with

MOUNTAIN OF GOLD.
The Richest Find in the History of

Nc1Ov-Met31 Seeking.
The uncovering of what promises to
be the richest find of gold since mining
for this metal was begun, is reported
from the province of Saskatchewan. Man.
A prospector named Hughes ran across a
vein which he found was ten miles long
by one mile across, and a good part of
it lies only ten feet below the surface.
The ore has been assayed at Ottawa
and shows so to the ton. In the assures
in places can be seen yeIl2w -treaks in
dicating large quantities of gold.
The discovery is near Birling, in the
Bartleford district, and AZ miles west of
North Battleford. Birling is $50 miles
west of Winnipeg, 40 miles north of
Great Fails, Mont, and $50 miles from
the northern frontier of the latter State.

railroad station and lies on the north

The Farmers Day.

The statistics up to this year show
that since 1900 farm real estate val
ues have increased 33 1-3 per cent.
Fewer men are going in the business.
All the good land is in hand. The
growing population demands more Of
the products of the soil and with the
constant desire Of immigrants to re-
main in cities or in small manufactur-
ing centers, the farmer finds sale for
all he can produce. This is the day
when the tiller Of the soil can buy
automobiles for his family.

"Ori~in" of Mahogany.

The origin of the use of mahogany
is said to have been as follows: A
West Indian trader brought home sew
eral logs Of mahogany as ballast for his
ship. The traders brother, a London
physician, happened to be building a
house, and his brother suggested that
the logs would serve for ceiling beams.
Acting on the proposal, the doctor gave
orders to his workmen accordingly, but
their tools were not able to make an i'm
preston on the hard wood. The doctor
ordered fresh tools to be made, and at
length succeeded in finding implements
which would cut the timber Delighted
with his discovery he ordered a bureau
TO be made, and so beautiful was it
that 1t attracted general attention.

lay both down on the desk at the same
