When coarse stable manure Is plow.
ed under and there is moisture enough
in the soil and manure to cause Its
fermentation, it Immediately begins to
furnish food for crops. 1t does this
all the better in early spring. as the
manure under the furrOw holds 1t up
and admits warm air from above
which is just what is required to cause
active fermentation. The release of
ammonia as the manure ferments en-,
riches all the soil above it, as the con-
slant tendency to warm air is to rise
Hence there Is good reason for apply
ing manure as top dressing during the
winter on land that Is to be plowed OF
hoed for crops in the spring.

Hawks and Poultry.

A writer in the Scientific American
declares that he effectually put an end
to the depreciation of hawks in his
poultry yard by fastening an old scythe
ground to razor edge, with the sharp
end down, on high pole set in the
edge Of field near his yards. The
hawks, as is their habit, lit on the
scythe, grasping it with their claws
with the result that their feet were
badly cut. This angered them and they
attacked the scythe, literally tooth and
toenall, and of course got the worst Of
1t. Every hawk that came along me
with like reception, and within {
short time they were either killed OIL
driven away.

the indiscriminate crossing of plants
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde-

useless individuals is waste of time

effected by making basic study Of va

Improving Corn.

Realizing that the improvement Of
corn Is a. matter Of concern to every
agricultural practitioner, because Of the
wide adaptability and general cultiva-
ton Of the cereal, the Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has publish
ed in a bulletin Of nearly 100 pages
the results Of experiments in that field.
In general introduction the bulletin
says:
investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant Is quickly affected
by the environment In which 1t Is
placed and yields readily to selection,
30 that the way for Improvement is
open to all who will make systematic
study Of this important crop. The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted

stump Pulling Device.

Here is a sketch of a device which
will do good work in the way of re
moving stumps. 1t can be operated
by man and a boy if stumps do not
exceed six or eight inches in diameter.
For larger stumps two men and a boy
may be employed. The boy can change
the hook at each swing of the pole. In
the Illustration two short chains (No.

pole. These are each four feet long
with a common grab hook on one end
and a round hook or ring at the other

The

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant

In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of

of the laxative for its remarkable

THE JAPANESE CABINET.

The reorganiZation of the japanese CaDinet
which Is now being effected was forecast some
time ago but is not of material slghncaioe
save TO the individuals concerned. 1here Is ITO
reason IN expect any change of policy, unless
in some very minor details Indeed there are
strong reasons for a maintenance OF the pohcy
which has for some time prevailed, since at
the general election of two months ago tne
nartv in power the Seyukai, considerably
strengthened its position in Parliament BEFORE
tta Saionii Cabinet was dependent for support
,,non a coalition majority but now it has
claar majority of its own party, besides the
support of numerous unattached members IN
the House of Peers, too, the Ministry mas peeh
strengthened by the appointment OF TWO peers
TO the Cabinet
The return of Marquis Katsura to the head
of the Ministry, which has been expected since
the general election, will be something ike
personal vindcation or rehabilitation Oh thal
very competent statesman. He was the Prlme
Minister during the war with Russia, but re
+irad from office because of some dissatisfaction
with the terms of the treaty of Portsmouth. IL
may he that the japanese have come TO appre-
ciate that convention better than they dld at
first and TO give Marquis katsura the credit
which he deserves. There were 1eW acludi
changes in the composition of the CABINET When'
at the beginning Of 1906 Marquis SalonJl sue
ceeded Marquis Katsura, and it is probable that
there will be few now
The change of prime ministers will be made,
If is said for financial reasons. That appar-
emily means that Marquis Katsura is to have a
chance to carry out his own financial pohcies,
which Marquis Saionji inherited from him ana
has been Loyalty maintaining There can be no
doubt that these the most serious part OF
the whole japanese political situation. Japan
is of course solvent and expects fully 10 meet
all her obligations. But the 1nanclal purdehs
of the people and of industry ana commerce
are very great and complaints OF governmental
extrayagance are numerous and loud. There
will be special fitness, therefore, i'll letting the
statesman who was responsible for the estaD'
iishment of the policy bear the responsibility OF
executing it and incur the blame or win the
praise as the case may be.
