Opposite the palace of King ia ia lay the famous
little ketch which E. F. Knight had sailed from
England all the way to the Plata River. All low,
King ia ia had seen clambering in and out of
the Falcon, and had conceived the notion that l
might fit it out once more and carry him away to
the United States-the land where his claims to
empire would be satisfied. l did not tell him that
he would probably find it hard to gain admission
into any New York hotel; and padded away with
mixed feelings about ia ia.
Kings quaint things in their combination of
craft and kindergarten. This is not merely ia ia
generalization; for since my cruise to St. Vincent
l have noted the kingly characteristic at many
courts, ranging from the Borneo jungle to the
pompous palaces of the Thames, the Neva, the
Danube, and the Spree. Kings much alike in

l have thought of this picture at times when, for
instance, great lord issues on the parade

by divine right; he too commanded the loyalty of
people and the unbounded admiration of many
courtiers. What odds if one lives in kafir kraal

Is the most important feed they get,
and is the one great thing that keeps
them healthy all the year around. In

and handling hogs in this way, l never
had a case of hog cholera on my farm.
This is due to the alfalfa, which keeps
the hogs healthy"

Water and Salt for Cows.

Eight gallons Of water a day Is the
average quantity required for COW,
and the milk given is about 81 per cent
water. In some pastures there IS no
water, the cows being supplied night
and morning which forces such COW to
drink four gallons at time In order
to be supplied. AS the cow does not
know that she must drink four gallons,
she may use less, and she will reduce
her milk supply accordingly.
Extensive tests and investigations
have been made by the experiment sta
lions to determine the ACCESSIBILITY of
adding salt to the ration Of dairy
cows. AS result of these trials, it is
recommended that dairy cows be given
at least one ounce of salt per day. Ex-
ceptionally heavy mixers will require
more than this. The uniform results
obtained with all cows employed In
these trials indicate that salt In addi-
ton to that obtained In their food Is
absolutely essential to the continued
health of dairy COW, while producing
milk. 1t is evident. moreover. that
the amount of salt which must be SUP
piled directly will greatly vary in diff
ferent localities, 1t being more at bigh
elevations and at places remote from
the sea.-Agricultural Epitomist.

RenovatinE Worn Soils.

Prof. w. ]. Spillman, In bulletin No.
2+5 on the renovation of wornout soils,
says:
ITO build up and maintain fertility
In the soil, feed a large part of the
crops, and return the manure to the
land. If manure is not available, pillow
under crops grown for the purpose.
Pillow deep, but do not subsoil. Grow
leguminous crops for the nitrogen they
add to the soil.
Commercial fertilizers and lime may
be important means of improving the
soil but the fertilizer requirements of
different soils and different crops in
different seasons are so little under
stood that we are not yet in a position
TO make positive recommendations that
are OF general application"

American. Fertility is not nitrogen,

though the potential value OF any held
or State, or country, from the agricui-
tural standpoint, is measured by THESE
constituent elements In its soil; yet II
has been demonstrated that soils when
contain an abundance of these elements
and which are potentially capable OF
producing crops for centuries perhaps,
are not capable of producing profitable
crops without the addition OF further
amounts of these constituents. Inc

most of the principles of the older
churns. The only change Is In the
application of the power mechanism.
In this machine the power is so placed
that little effort is required to operate
it. A foot pedal is added, and the
hand power is entirely different from
the old method. Instead of forcing the
paddle up from the churn after every
descent with the hands, springs are
placed beneath the hand grips which
do the forcing automatically. 1t would
be possible to operate this churn and
at the same time read a book or news
