Humus plays an important part IN
agriculture because it is the natural
source of fertility and the natural
reservoir of the soil. 1t holds the
water from going too deep by perco-
lation or by escaping through evap-
GRAFTON. Take a cornstalk that has
lain until it is so rotten you can easily
pick it to pieces. 1t is capable OF
holding water like sponge. You
can not pack il together into a ball
like you can wet dirt. This is how it
plays so important role in the for
nation of soils. 1t prevents clay from
becoming too sticky and compact. A
plant must have air around the roots.
A heavy soil in wet season smothers
the plant. Humus tends to prevent
this A plant must have a constant
water supply, not in excess nor in
too small a quantity. Humus equal
ICES this supply 1t holds water IN
drough and assists a heavy soil in
getting rid of too much in a wet sea-
son.
AS humus is decayed vegetable mat
ter it stands to reason that If such
is not returned to the soil as ma
nure or vegetable matter plowed UNI
der. the soil will be deficient in this
element. Therefore, you must not sell
the grain, burn the straw, and expect
to get good returns from a soil that
you rob of humus.

phones in the pews.
Hanging to hooks on the backs of
the pews yesterday were small re-
ceivers which can be concealed in the
palm of the hand. They are connect
ed by hidden wires with transmit
ter in the pulpit, and caught every
word the clergyman uttered, even to
his low tones.
Those who have heretofore had diff
Guilty in catching the sermon were
able with ease to hear that of yester-
day by using the instruments. In Dr.
Houghton's church are several mem
bers afflicted with deafness. A Mrs.
Murphy, who has a pew in a distant
part of the church, declared yester-
day that she had heard the sermon
throughout for the first time in years.

HUI MUS.

AS "the world depends upon sue
cessful farming" so successful farm
ing depends upon humus. 1t is the one
element in soils that plays out first
by successive cropping and selling the
crop. Many soil is considered worn
out when it lacks only humus.
Humus is decayed vegetable mat
ter. 1t is the dust to DUST process
of plant life. 1t is that stage of decay
at which the elements of which the
plant is made are broken up into the
original elements.

Such a constant source of happiness

Such funny little language that he

Bears it's bit of information,
