A newspaper has 5000 readers

A newspaper has 5000 readers
for each 1000 subscribers. A
merchant who puts out 1000
hand bills can get possibly 800
or 400 people to read them-that
is, if the boy who is trusted to
distribute them does not chuck
them into a ditch. The hand bills
cost as much as q half column
advertisement in the home paper.
All the women and girls, and
half the men and boys read the
advertisement. Result-the mer-
chant who uses the newspaper
has 9, 500 more readers to each
thousand of the papers readers.
There is no estimating the
amount Of business that advertis-
ing does bring to a merchant,
but that each dollar invested in
advertising brings to the investor
somewhere from $40 to 500
worth Of business there can be
no doubt. .-Corinthian.

LETTER TO MARSHAL SAUNDERS,

Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there
was one pure paint and 200 adul-
terated; there are now eight pure,
200 adulterated, about half of the
latter short besides.
There is still but one best, and
the d ference in ten gallons De-
voc goes as far as eleven next
best 55-in every ten gallons.
A new word has cOneup in
pain; it is strong. St1ong paint
ooes further and wears longer;
weak paint takes more gallons
and wears out sooner.
The proper cost of -10-gallon
lob is $50. Paint that takes II
Gallons makes it $55. Paint
that takes II gallons makes it
$50. Paint that takes 13 gallons
makes it S65. Paint that takes
% gallons makes it 500.
The $50 job wears twice as
long as the 500. These figures
are not precise; they are round.

EFFECT OF TILLAGE ON FERTILITY
AND TEXTURE OF SOILS

plov ed when they are so wet that
they will puddle. When wet clay is
worked as in plowing. the conditions
are such that the fine PARTICLES slide
over each other easily, and are drawn
closer together, air is forced ont. and
the soil in drying forms large com
pact masses which are broken up with
exceeding difficulty. A clay soil IL
properly handled and not plowed
when too wet is usually very produc-
tive, but If plowed when too wet il
may be rendered unproductiye for
several years
The harrow and the shallow culti-
vator are valuable implements for i'm
proving the texture OF the soil. They
are especially valuable when used as
soon after rain as possible without
pudding the soil. When 80 used they
prevent the soil from drying into large
hard masses, let air into the soil and
conserve moisture.
Soil made up of very fine grains as
a clay soil not well under-drained
and firmly compacted is unproductive,
because plant roots penetrate it with
difficulty. and even when they do, a
lack of air in the soil prevents all
growth. Such a soil has exceedingly
small spaces between the particles and
these spaces are filed with water in
a wet season, completely excluding
air.
When a clay soil is properly titled
the fine PARTICLES do not form COM
pact masses, but compound grains are
formed by the cementing together of
number of the particles The ex-
istence of the compound grains of soil
makes the soil porous. the spaces be-
tween are filled with air and the roots
can penetrate easily. The continued
stirring or cultivation of the soil and
numerous heavy rains tend to break
up these compound soil grains and the
fine PARTICLES run together, filling up
the larger spaces. In such cases rota-
tion of crops which includes frequent
seeding down to grass and allowing
the land to remain as hay or pasture
land will prove beneficial. This Is
natures method for keeping the soil
In good texture. The grass prevents
the pudding of the soil by heavy
rains and the roots by their growth
and decay make the soil loose and
porous, Air enters the soil and assists
in dissolving lime or other materials
which cement the fine particles to-
gether into compound grains. and thus
the open mellow texture so much de-
sired is secured.
The application of lime on 7 heavy
clay soil is beneficial. because lime
serves to cement the particles together
into compound grains. making the soil
more friable and easily titled.
Fall plowing of clay soils is usually
beneficial because the exposure to
winter freezing forces the clay parti
cles apart and this makes the soil
more open and crumbly.

Good texture In soil is an ex-
tremely valuable asset. BY a soil Of
good texture we mean one that Is
finely divided and at the same time
mellow and friable. A soil possessing
these qualities will produce better
crops than another containing the
same amount of plant food. but which
is hard and lumpy. In a soil OF good
texture plants find conditions most
favorable to their growth. because
such n soil retains moisture; is better
ventilated: has less variation in tenn
perature: nitrification is hastened be-
cause of better ventilation; more
plant food from the minerals is rem
dered available; the plant roots pene-
trate deeper. and therefore have a
better hold and there is more surface
on which they can feed.
In Bulletin No. 119 OF the Cornell
experiment station we find the follow
ing statement: Every good farmer
knows that a hard and lumpy soil will
not grow good crops no matter how
much plant food it may contain. A
clay soil which has been producing
good crops for any number of years
may be so seriously injured by one
injudicious plowing in a wet time as
10 ruin il for the growing of crops
for two or three years The injury
lies in the modification OF its physical
texture. not in the lessening of its
plant food. A sandy soil may also be
seriously impaired for the growing
OF any crop IL the humus or decaying
organic matter is allowed to burn out
on IT, lt then becomes leachy, II
quickly loses its moisture and 1t be-
comes excessively hot in bright. sunny
weather. Similar remarks may be APP
piled to all soils. That is, the texture
or physical condition of the soil is
nearly always more important than
It's mere richness in plant food"
The first step in the enrichment of
nOn-pToductive land is to improve it's
physical condition by means OF careful
and thorough tillage. by the addition
of humus. and perhaps by under drain
age. 1t must first be put In such con

After that the addition of chemical
fertilizers may pay by giving addi-
tional redundant growth.
Tillage is one of the most important
agencies for producing good texture.
The stirring of the soil as in cultiva-
ton destroys the forces which are at
work in the soil to draw and hold
the particles of soil together in com
pact mass. and the soil is made fine,
thus extending the feeding area of the
roots. and enabling the air to enter
the soil and move freely about in it.
