Studying Soils.

In selecting land for certain pur-
poses, and unless one has Il know edge
of the character of the soil, there may
be q heavy loss in consequence.
1t can be laid down as fact that
where we find hardwood trees flourish
ing the soil is rich and in such a
section the climate is healthy. Such
small grains as wheat and oats will
yield good crops in the land where
the sugar maple, the beech and the
white and black oaks grow.
A wet soil, is indicated where we
find willow, poplars, birch, red maple.
black ash and elms. By drainage such
land is often made available for farm
purposes, but it Is better for grass than
either grain or fruits.
We find a strong, rich soil hard to
work, but of great fertility when once
brought under cultivation, where the
hickories. buckeyes and black walnut
grow.
The chestnut thrives best in a light,
thin soil, soil adapted to the growth
of corn, rye, vegetables and small fruits,
but which, unless strongly fortified,
cannot grow good crops of wheat or
oats. or the general fruit trees.
Soils are classified as loamy, clayey,
sandy, chalky and peaty. A loamy soil
is best adapted for most purposes
while the others can be improved by
supplying such mineral constituents as
the soil lacks.
For n clayey soil, sand and lime or
chalk will make up the deficiency. On
sandy or gravelly soil it will require
clay-gypsum or loam-
1t is rather expensive to get clayey
soil In a fertile condition. but WHOM
well MANFRED such soils will Yield i'm
mense crops.

The Cheeky PIeinfieId Cook.

A Bucknell University professor was
talking about David Jayne Hill, the
successor in the Berlin embassy to
Charlemagne Tower
DR. HILL" he said, Impressed us
here-you know he was our president
for a number of years-no less with
his wit than with his learning. He
had thought and written on many sub
jects-psychology, rhetoric, socialism
finance-and to hear him discuss these
subjects was a delight.
AZ heard him take down one day an
ultra-socialistic student
"'Young man. he said, you and
your extrayagant friends remind me

Plainfield cooks attitude toward hel

FOUND A WAY

To he Clear of the Coffee Troubles.
Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach and
kidneys got in such a bad condition
that he was compelled to give up a
good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and / hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
II told him / felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
1T was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it
and then it was easy to leave off coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less fire.
quent, his complexion began to clear,
kidneys grew better until at last he
was a new man altogether, as a result
of leaving off coffee and taking up
Postum. Then | began to drink it too.

The WEAVING Colt.

WEAVING time is a very critical pc
riod of the colts life. If the colt is set
back at this time it will mean a loss
of size that will never be made up. If
properly handled, however, there need
be no sacrifice. In the first place the
colt should be eating grain long before
it is weaned and the more it can be
persuaded to eat the better. we never
fear overlooking of colts up to the age
of eight or ten months While sucking
the dam the amount of grain it will eat
will be very small, yet the returns
from this feed are very good. Oats are
of course the best feed for colts and if
there is any kind of stock on the farm
that 1t will pay to feed high-priced
oats to this winter it will be the young
colt and the amount of feed they will
eat will be very small compared with
the benefits accrued. When changing
to dry feed the colt is very often trou-
bled with constipation. Occasional
very beneficial in relieving this condi-
ton. Wean the colt gradually, don't
chop off its milk ration all at once.
We have always tried TO let the dams
do the weaving themselves. ALLOWING
the dam and colt to run together in the
pasture, making things as easy for the
brood mare as possible. When cold
nights come put both of them up in
the barn. Have a strong halter and
rope ready for the colt Then when
winter comes the colt will be broken
to stand well in the stable and if il
has become gradually used 10 depend
on dry feed it will be weaned and hal
ter broken without ever having caused
any great trouble or without having
damaged its growth in III least.

The Dowager Queen Margherita CT
Italy has been expressing her disap-

frankness than President Roosevelt.
Not often is a queen int rvnewed; less
often is royal Interview more than
a collection of perfunctory phrases, po-

A childless family is incomplete.
There is a poetry and a pathos about
childhood which appeal to every right
hearted woman. Most women, though
they may not be able to put this idea
into words, feel it. They have the ma
ternal instinct Hence the remoteness
of race suicide
Women show their intellectually by
rearing healthy and great children,
just as much as they do by writing
books or painting pictures. The wife
who deliberately refuses to bring chill

thing wrong with her moral makeup.
l am very pleased to know that there
is a movement in the United States in
favor of large families, and that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has put himself upon
record as favoring them. European
women have begun to look for light
to their sisters of the United States.
On the subject of woman's ''emanci-
patton" Queen Margherita is equally
Outspoken:
l am absolutely opposed to any ex
travagant theories of what is called
the emancipation of women. In what
ever condition of life woman may be
placed, her first duty is the negative
one of not giving up the qualities that
distinguish her sex. Above all, she
should guard against developing the
trait of men. A blending of ancient
reserve with modern independence

would feed young cattle. fattening and

Sow Bean. and Cow Peas.

The complaint is sometimes made
that the soy bean does not enrich the
soil to the same extent as does the
culture of the cowpea. Judging from
the chemical composition of the two
crops, says q bulletin by the Indiana
Station, it seems possible that when
both crops are removed from the soil
the soy bean carries away a greater
quantity of fertility because the grain
is so much richer in nitrogen than the
grain of the cowpea. If, however, both
crops are used for green manuring,
their chemical composition cannot pro-
duce a wide difference in soil improve
ment The higher nitrogen content OF
the soy bean seed is offset by heavier
yields of green material in case of the
cowpea.
