FERTILITY OF SOIL
Science Of the Growth Of Plants
Should Be Understood by Farmer.

A. r. Whitson of the Wisconsin sta
ton says: Directly or indirectly the
food of mankind comes from the soil.
and there is. therefore. nothing more
important in agriculture than that the
factors which determine the produc-
tiveness of the soil be thoroughly un-
derstood. This bulletin is written for
the purposes of putting before the
farmer a statement of our present
knowledge of the factors which infiu-
ence the fertility of the soil and Of the
relation Of these factors to each other.
The agricultural plants require for
growth a favorable temperature. light,
and a supply Of material including car
bon dioxide. water and certain chem
lcal elements derived from the soil.
The chief of these elements are nitro
gen, phosphorus, potassium. calcium
and magnesium. Since oxygen is used
at every point Of the plant where
growth takes place, 1t is needed at the
tops of the roots, and therefore soil
must be aerated. All these condi-
lions are dependent on the climate, on
the physical and chemical conditions
of the soil. and on various changes
going on in the soil.

Where had he seen that Chinese mask
before. and that great silver-faced
clock? Somehow, mysterious and
strange as 1t seemed, all this was
vaguely familiar to him. Doubtless he
had seen a picture OF the room some
where. He rose and wandered about.
In one corner of the bookshelves
stood a pile OF boys books and some
broken toys with the dust of ages upon
them. He picked up row Of painted
soldiers. and balanced them thought

one of the picture-books. 1t was a

did not irecollect, but he was finally
aroused by the sound of slamming
doors and new voices. He returned to
his chair and waited for the denoue-
ment. which the marrow in his bones
told him was about to approach.
1t seemed incredible that he, of all
persons. should be plucked out of the
practical ways of men and thrust into
the unreal fantasies of romance. A

dash into carriage compartment, a

Good Cart for Farm Uss.

Illustration much more convenient than
a wheelbarrow, says a correspondent
OF Prairie Farmer.
Two wheels from an old riding pillow;
about three feet in diameter. were Sc
lected. For the axle a piece of inch
gas piping was used. The frame OF
the box. which is Ave. feet long and
"a feet wide. was mortised together OF
two by two material.
The front posts are two feet eight
inches in height and the box was con-
structed Of three-quarterinch pine.
Handles were bolted to the sides so
that the cart may be either drawn or
pushed. A leg In front holds the cart
when standing In position to load.

No farmer should lose sight of the
fact that all fertilizers have great
value. and not a pound of fertilizer
should be allowed to go to waste. On
general principles farmer should be
always working into his soil the mate
rails that will make plant food. An
abundance Of plant food is required in
the soil, If farming is to be carried on
profitably. 1t should be remembered
that every particle Of vegetable mat
ter makes fertility when it decays. and
should be worked into the soil. The
non-appreciation Of this fact leads to
the loss Of large quantities of barn
yard manure, which is allowed to go
to waste in various ways.

Getting Manure from Town.

One farmer living seven miles from
the limits Of Chicago says that often
when he is driving out from the city
he is called after by some man or
woman whose house he is passing and
asked II he does not want to take
along a load Of manure, which the
owner wants to give away. He says
that many Of the residents OF Chicago
find it difficult to find farmers that
will take the manure for the hauling.
Not pound Of this manure from the
villages and cities should be allowed
to be thrown away. The surprise is
that farmers will SO little appreciate
this opportunity that they have to be
asked to take the manure.
