SOIL IMPROVEMENT
BY Prof. H. G. Phelps.

Whatever the crop in whose culti-
and preparation Of the soil is the first
and most important matter that COM
mands his attention. Having for some
years past annually mixed and pre-
pared for use some Is or 20 tons Of
chemical fertilizers for the improve
ment Of the soil Of whose cultivation
have had charge, and noting the
marked increase in the cost of the
same, or of some portions thereof, l
have come to be more and more thor
oughly convinced of the necessity of
resorting to some other means to ef-
feet the needed results. With nitrate
of soda up to $50 per ton, an advance
of ten or twelve dollars within the
past few years, it is manifest that the
ordinary sources of nitrogen supply
are becoming exhausted. Muriate of
potash, however, has only slightly in
creased and phosphate is actually low
er, showing that the mineral manures
still hold out 1t has been estimated
by scientific Investigators that the
natural supply of phosphoric acid and
potash now remaining in the soil is
equal to the production of 500 annual
crops, while the nitrogen supply is
sufficient for only about 100.
In years past the farmers of the
west got rid of their manure by draw
ing the same out onto the ice Of the
rivers in the winter, that it might be
carried away down the stream in the
spring, never thinking it desirable to
apply it to the land. Now after many
years of continual cropping with
wheat or corn, they find it necessary
not only to save and apply their
manure, but also to buy some COM
mercial fertilizer. Prof. Snyder, of
the Minnesota experiment station, has
shown by experiments that in eight
years of successive cropping with
wheat there was loss to the soil Of
1,400 pounds of nitrogen, though the
wheat itself took but 300 pounds.
When he raised wheat but five years
out of the eight, with one year in
clover and two in oats, there was a
nitrogen loss of only $50 pounds. BY
growing corn, oats, and clover for
three years of the eight, and making
two applications of stable manure-a
light coat each time-the loss of nj
trogen from the soil was reduced to
100 pounds. Thus 1t is demonstrated
that the continual growing of the
same crop tends to rapid depletion Of
the SOIL while a rotation in which
some leguminous crop is introduced
operates to check the same. The cot
ton fields of the south are a forcible
illustration of the deteriorating effect
of the continual production of one
crop, as we'll as the wheat fields of
the west.
What we need to understand is, that
the stored-up elements of fertility in
the soil are to be regarded as so much
potential energy, portion Of which,
by our cultivation processes. is con-
verted into active energy, and that
we have so managed the soil, in fact,
that a large portion of this active en-
ergy has been wasted. We must,
therefore, seek to adopt such proc
esses as will conserve and preserve
this stored-up energy, except such as
Is necessarily used in crop production.
We know now that there are other
than mere chemical processes going
on in the soil. There are bacterial
processes that play an important part

Possible Democratic Candidate for
President of United States.

In his Americanism the Democratic
lieutenant governor is quite as In
tense as Theodore Roosevelt, and like
the president, he is more interested in
to-day and tomorrow than in yester.
day, more absorbed In seeing proper
thingh done properly in public affairs
than in contemplating mummies or
the past. When William Randolph
Hearst picked him for running mate
at the independence league conven-
ton last summer he didn't realize
that he had selected man who would
overshadow him as the campaign pro-
gressed.

candidates were given out to the re-

STYLES MUST BE SELECTED TO

. For the Stout Woman the low-Busted
Garment Is the Best - No
loops or Bows for the
Shoulders.

For stout figures having small busts.
as is often the case. the rather low
busted corset should be worn, and the
bust should be thrown out as much as
possible. to balance the rest Of the
figure.
To confine too fleshy bust with the
old style corset top there are various
corset sovers. to be draws tightly over
the chest. which give firmness TO and
confine too-rotund outlines. One of
these is shown in one of the cuts ac-
companying this text. The tie ends
may be drawn as tightly as one
pleases, but instead Of being pulled
crosswise one end should be drawn up
toward the chin and the other toward
the ties, and when the cover is tight
enough the final tie may be given.

The ends going around the waist have

them, ~ that there is no unnecessary
bulk. The back is seamless and on

One cover may be procured at a
moderate price at the shop. but it ties
on the shoulder with tapes. the lace
edges extending across each end. This
is mistake. There should never be
any loops or bows on top of the shoul-
ders. The top of the shoulders should
be as fiat as possible. The object of the
tapes being left is that the cover may
be adjusted to fit both long and short
wasted figures. One can. however.
put these garments on and have these
tied so that they are made to fit as
one wishes, and then have the tapes
and one or both lace edges removed
laying the front end over the back
and have a fiat strap seam. This fits
them smoothly.
This style of corset cover can be
procured attached to a glove-fitting
skirt, but these have to be ordered.

While the musicians played
And here the sky and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade,
And here the laughing ripples ran
And here the roses grew
That threw a kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breeze
AS DER the field Of marlgolds,
Our eyes swan DER the seas
While the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And it was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled Ger his realm,
With stars of midnight glittering
About his diadem.
The sea gull reeled on languid wing
In circles around the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
As we went sailing past;
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairies throngs
Flung at US from their flashing hands
The echoes of their songs.
