Culture of the Soil

At the Illinois Roundup, Prof. ]. G,
Mosier, of the University OF Illinois.
talked on the physical conditions of
Illinois soils. He said the time would
come when the culture of the soil will
reach such stage of development
that the rainfall only will be the limit
ing influence on the production Of corn
In Illinois. A hundred bushel crop Of
corn requires about 16 inches OF water
during the growing season.
How much value has cultivation?
Tests have been carried on to deter
mine this. Some plots were only
scraped with the hoe to keep down
weeds, yet on these the average yield
for five years was &C bushels. Where
four civilizations were given there was
only small increase in yield. We
may raise fair crop without cultiva-
ton. provided the weeds are removed.
At the Ohio station similar expert
ments have been carried on, with some
increase in yields over merely scrap
ing to keep down the weeds. New
York has tried the same experiment
for three years. One year the yield on
the scraped plot was 46 bushels, while
under ordinary cultivation the yield
was 54; in the next the yield for the
scraped was 81 and for the other So;
in the next the yield on the scraped
plot was Ga and on the one under ordi-
nary cultivation SO.
A total OF 10 experiments at differ
ent stations favor cultivation by eight
bushels per acre, but it must be re.
membered that the value of these
eight bushels must pay for the extra
cost Of cultivation.
Much of our soil is injured by wash
ing. The amount of such soil in iii
nois is very great. A farmer should
think what will occur before he cuts
off the forest from his hillside. There
are not less than seven million acres
Of land so injured in Illinois.
The physical condition of the sol
can be so improved that it will alb
sorb more water. This quality is less
in the hill soils than on the prairie
SOIL Soils may be kept from washing
by grass, leaves and roots. Rye is one
of our best cover crops, but combi
nation Of rye and vetch is better, as
the latter is all the time improving
the soil by adding nitrogen to it
Flowing up and down the slope is bad
as it increases the tendency to wash
Flowing around the hill so that the
burrows will be on level largely pre-
vents washing as each furrow actl
as barrier to the water. Contour
plowing is largely practiced in tn,
South, where the light soils make i
absolutely necessary. In South Caro-
lima man seen plowing up and dow
hill would be considered a fit sub
ject for an insane asylum. On ou
rolling land that is not very steep thi
contour plowing will be all that i
needed to prevent washing.
Terracing land is practiced in tn,
South to a considerable extent. Il
the state of Illinois there is stron,
prejudice against crooked rows, whicl
is one Of the chief objections raised b,
Illinois farmers against contour plow
ing.
Q.-Do you advise three cultivation
or five for corn?
AIN ordinary years three cultiva
tions are better than five, accordin,
to the results Of our experiments a

Cooling Food for the Sow.

Previous to narrowing the SOW
should be fed foods that
have the opposite effect from
constipation. AS soon as con
stipation sets in there is danger both
to the pigs and to the sows. Some
swine raisers at this time feel only
slop. giving all feed in this form IL
the feed is mostly grain. II roots
can be obtained they will keep the
digestive organs in condition. As ges-
tation approaches. it Is advisable
many times to introduce a small
amount Of oil meal into the ration
or even a small amount Of aaxseed
meal.

In q letter to the Commissioners this
morning J. Fred Fuss. proprietor Of the La
dies Exchange Employment Agency, So7
Vermont avenue northwest. declared that
the employment agency business cannot be
satisfactorily and intelligently conducted
by adopting the form OF registers prepared
by the Commissioners.
One reason given by Mr.. Fuss Is that In
the form of register prepared by the Com
missioners no provision IL made for record
ing the age or nationality of applicants;
the kind of work wanted. length OF service.
and cause for leaving last place Of employ
ment, the places sent for interview, with

reason pointed out by this agent Is that nc

Let me repeat to you that, In reference
to matters affecting the Catholic Church,
events have conclusiveiy shown that whale
you are ambassador you must keep abso-
lutely clear Of any deed or word in Rome
or elsewhere which would seem to differ
entiate your position from that Of other
ambassadors. The mere fact of the report
IN the newspapers about your calling at the
Vatican has had q very unfortunate effect
dare say you did not Gait; you may mere
iy have seer, some cardinal privately: but
the unpleasant talk over the affair en-
phasizes the need of extreme circumspec-

ROME. November q 1905
Dear Mrs. storer: In reply to your letter
Of the 21st 1 must inform you that. as far
az know. there will not be another Amer
lean cardinal named at the next consIstory.
This does not mean that there will never be
another named. but the holy father does
not seem to intend naming one at present.
The matter Is one of very delicate ma
ture. for 1t lies so entirely with his hoi-
ness himself. and myself cannot venture
that the holy father had expressed himself
in the way referred to by you and 1 fancy
there must be some Misunderstanding,
However am sure that any attempt to
bring pressure to bear In such q delicate
matter cannot further your wishes.
should also say that the same wish has
been conveyed just as forcibly and with
equally good reasons In favor of at least
two other very distinguished prelates In
the United States. SO that In the event OF
the holy father determining to name an.
other American cardinal the choice OF the
person would not be as easy matter as
1t may seem to those who very naturally
have only one in View. More than this
cannot say without overstepptng the limits
Of q discretion which must be the first to
observe In q matter Of this nature. With
kind regards to the ambassador. I am.
dear Mrs. Storer. yours devotedly in Christ.

THE WHITE HOUSE,

MY Dear Bellamy:
to report I had heard about your writing
a letter concerning the dismissal of Hurst.
This came to me from an outside source,
and I did not credit It. Since then Secre-
tary Hay has sent me over letter (Of
yours to Senator Hanna. which the latter
put before the department with a request
that he be given information in order to
answer you. Secretary Hay feels. of

having written In such manner to any
outsider. and feels that there should be
some official rebuke. Because of our per-
sonal relations 1 write In this way to you
