The principal source Of nitrogen in
have the nitrogen to produce the crops
1t is necessary to promote growth. 1t
is an expensive food - probably the
most expensive Of all the food elements
that If the nitrogen had to be pur-
chased to produce a bushel Of corn, 1t
would cost about "a cents However,
If the organic matter Is kept sufficient
in the soil, it can be supplied without
cost
Generally speaking there Is enough
potash in the average American soil to
produce corn for thousands Of years,
but as a rule It is not available so that
plants can use it as food Many of the
unsoluble mineral elements are made
soluble and available for the plants
needs by decay Of the organic matter
In soils. 1t requires humus in the soil
to make these unsoluble elements avail
able.
1t is then plain that soils that have
plenty Of humus are not only rich In
nitrogen. but in the decay of the hui
mus the supply Of available mineral
elements Is also increased. Soils
are ready to farm much earlier in
spring that are rich in humus than
those that are deficient in it. This hui
mus Is what gives the soil its dark col
or, and It is fact that anything dark
In color absorbs heat more rapidly than
does light color. Soil containing hui
mus will dry out sooner and be ready
to cultivate sooner In the spring than
soil that has no humus.
Moisture Is better retained in a soil
that has the proper amount Of humus
than In one that Is devoid Of It. In
other words, soils that contain humus
are rich In available plant food, are
ready to work early in the spring and
have moisture to keep the crops grow
ing and producing; while, on the other
hand, soils that are without humus dry
out and are unfit for cultivation.

GOES SHOPPING ALONE.
Mrs. Roosevelt Never Misses an Opportu-
nifty to Escape DESTINATIONS.

The wife of President Roosevelt is
strongly inclined toward the simpler
modes of living, says The Delineator for
November.
When she is not on official duty, Mrs
Roosevelt insists upon living her life
rs any other American woman. She
frequently walks down town to the
shops, unattended even by maid; she
makes her personal calls and sees to
little matters of her own home circle
with the same regularity and devotion
rs in the years before the duties of the
white house entered into her calcua-
tons. One point she never neglects, and
that is to he at home when the Presi-
dent is at leisure. When he has n group
of his men friends mt luncheon, Mrs.
Roosevelt joins the children in their
apartments, for her dominant thought is
always for them. She is their companion

Place one end Of chain around the
post close to ground. Incline the plank

Place the chain in the notch of the
plank and start the team, and the post
will start upward with surprising
speed and in a few seconds will be

In mo-ing fences the chain should
be attached to the rear axle of the

THE BLOATED FARMER.
Has Paid Off His Mortgages and Now
Has Money in the Bank


! The western states boast a great deal
| about their bank deposits. 1t is true
! that a single bank of New York city has
as much money in its Golfers as do all
those of Kansas, for instance-but in
the latter case, says The North American
Review, the savings are not trust funds
or spectators accounts, they are those
! of tens of thousands of hard working
! citizens and represent long days of toll
! beneath the burning sun.
The ownership of the farmers COM
paratively plethoric bank books have had
| liberalizing effect. The fateful things
| promised during the days of financial
! darkness have been forgotten. The CAPT

comrade, is looked upon as having rights

There is no more talk of electing
| judges who will refuse to order mort
cages foreclOsed. For one thing, there
are few mortgages to fOreCloSe, and, for
another the weSterner is in favor Of en-
| forcing the law to the utmost, since the
local loan fund is a staple source of in
vestmonts in these latter days.
The material welfare that has come
out of eight years of abundance is easily
outlined. 1t is expressed in Il catalogue
of cancelled mortgages, new dwellings,,
refunded bonds, swollen bank deposits
and improved belongings.

has been marvellous. For instance, in

n Speedy, Permanent Cure.

Eczema appeared when our baby
was three months old. We applied to
several doctors and hospitals, each of
which gave us something different,
every time, but nothing brought relief.
At last, one of our friends recommend
ed to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. A few days afterwards i'm
we have used nothing but Cuticura
Soap and Cutlcura Ointment, and now
the baby is six months old and is quite

Such is the popularity of automobile

quently they can be seen entering lead

RurnIar's Queer Haul.

While the old adage that beggers
cannot be choosers is usually true, it
does not apply always to the men OF
the deft fingers and the jimmy. Bur
glars usually have a pretty distinct
idea of what they are going to find in
the house they attack before they be-
gin operations. Some peculiar arti-
Giles are taken by this class of individ-
uals, but whether the articles give any
clue to the natural tendencies of the
operator is not determined by criminal
experts.
Among the peculiar things stolen
there was reported to the local police
headquarters recently that a Saginaw
(Mich.) dentist had been robbed OF
1000 false teeth. In the court. when
the thief is arraigned, he will be charg-
ed with converting to his own use the
1000 false Washington Star.
