the horrible accident at Canaan on Sun

The Times considers this one of the
greatest advances ever made by any
union. The Granite Cutters union has
always been a strong organization be-
cause Of its conservative management,
and under the leadership Of James Dun
can it has come to be recognized as one
Of the model union organizations Of the
country. In this new step forward, it
puts this union far in lead Of an others
and furnishes an example many others
may well follow.

shown in Fig. 2. in which the cylinders
were filled with a black marsh soil
from field in the university farm on
part of which corn had made a very
poor growth. In this case it can be
seen that the single element, potas.
SUM. is not present in sufficient
quantities in the right form for crops
in the portion of the field from which
the soil was taken. Here again chem.
fcal analysis showed that the entire

to 2S.600 pounds while 60 pounds Of
potash (k2 o. per acre applied in an
available form will allow the soil to
produce an excellent crop. Many more
instances OF this kind might be cited
where the soil contains large amounts
of the essential elements, but one or
more Of them are not in the right
form for absorption by the plant, az
shown by the failure of the crops to
make good growth unless the soil Is
fortified with these elements in IN
available form.
1t is probable that most of the ma.

water, at least in the soil moisture

ing from the original form to sec.
ondary condition. A large part of the
first class is not soluble in even hot
strong acids, while the forms produced
by weathering are soluble I'm such
acids. Some Of this weathered MA.
terial has been further transformed
into material soluble in water and, in
deed. the amount in that form would
ordinarily be quite large were it not
that 1t is removed almost as rapidly
as formed, in regions where there is
sufficient rainfall
2. Organic Matter.-Nlost soils have
large or small amount Of matter de.
rived from vegetation in various
stages of decomposition. Part of this
Is still in such a condition that the
tissues and flbers of plants can be
recognized, while another part has
completely lost its form and structure,
and has changed into black, wax
like substance which forms coating
around soil grains. This latter ma
terial is called humus, while the for.
mer is simply undecomposed vegetable
matter.

lble to Plants.-The fertility of the
soil. in the limited meaning above
given. depends upon the amount of
material which it contains in form
available to the crop. Soils are fire.
qucntly very infertile which. contain
al enormous amount Of all the es-
semtial elements. because one or more
oil these elements does not exist in
forms which can be taken up by the
plant in sufficient amounts. A good
illustration Of this fact was found in
the>soil Of field in north-central Wis
cOnsia surrounded b! very fertile
land. Although this field had produced
but two or three crops since it was
cleared. it had become so completely
exhausted that coin made practically
40 growth. This soil was in the very
bcs, physical condition, or filth, and is
4 fine clay loan. From all appear
anccs one would expect 1t TO be quite
fertile. When. however. test was
made BY filling eight four.gallon Jars
with this soil aud adding to them
different fertilizers, it was found that
the soil contained all essential ele.
n"nts in 4 sufficient quantity 10 allow
good growth except phosphorus. Fig.

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent Of the Drugs Pre-.
scribed Are Patent Medicines.

Despite the opposition of physicians,
especially Of those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing concerns,-are, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as if they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little OF
nothing of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very medt-
cines, which in public he condemns,
Just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa
tient himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth of the
professional use of patent or pro
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 90. 1906, by A. jacob, M.
D.. IL. D. He relates that $4,000 pre-.
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to- 1870 no prescription was
found for patent or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but Que prescrip-
ton in $500 called for ready.to.uso
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent or pro
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased to
per cent In the period between 1880
and 1890. In 1895 it was 12 per cent,
in 1898 twas Is per cent, and in 1902.
1908 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
DR.. jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 20 per cent
of the prescriptions were for patent"
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this it would seem that If the patent"
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe in
seven cases out Of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases of
necessity and where the symptoms

A hasty examination OF any soil
shows at once that it consists of two
distinct parts: First. the PARTICLES or
grains derived from the rocks, and
second, the vegetable matter and
humus derived from the plants which
have grown before on this SOIL The
first is commonly called inorganic ma.
terial. and the second organic, since it
is derived from organisms.
l. Inorganic Matter.--The inorganic
part Of the soil. consisting Of sand
grains, silt, and clay of various de.
grces of fineness. includes several diff.
ferent classes of compounds or COM
binations of elements. A large part
of the soil is in the same form in
which it was in the original rock from

l shows these eight jars and the treat
ment they received. 1t will be seen
that the corn on all the jars to which
phosphorus was added, either alone
or with other elements, made a good
growth. while that on those jars not
fertilized with this element failed to
do so. An analysis showed that there
was present in this soil 400 pounds
of phosphoric acid (P2 O5) in an acre
one foot deep. or $50 times the amount
which would be taken off by a good
crop of corn, and yet an application at
the rate of As pounds Of phosphoric
acid per acre was sufficient to cause
the difference between very poor
and a very satisfactory growth.

Servants and Egss.

Mrs. Phelps Stokes, in an address
in New York, said of the servant ques-
ton:
"Are there not too many mistresses
who treat their servants as the lady
did in buying eggs?
This lady entered a shop and said:
"'Have you eggs?'
"'Yes, madam said the shopman.
"'Well,' said the lady, want a doz-
en- absolutely fresh eggs for myself.
and She touched the arm of her
maid, who stood beside her and a
half-dozen not quite SO fresh for my
maid here.'"

other compounds coming from the de-
composition of vegetable matter. This
Is indicated by the fact that crops can
be grown to maturity in water solu.
lions Of the necessary elements with.
out any soil whatever. and also. that
plants do not grow in soils altogether
deficient in water soluble materials,
although only small amount is
needed. Fortunately, processes are
continually going on in the soil by
which the combinations of the differ.
ent elements are changed gradually
so that small amounts of water sol.
uble salts are being formed from
those which are insoluble. This grad.
ual change from one form to another
is the chief explanation of the in.
creased fertility shown by soils
which are allowed to lie fa!low.
