term soil fertility refers to the produc.
tive capacity Or crop producing power
of any soil under given climatic con-
ditions, and it is the resultant of
many factors or forces.
The soil chemist has given us a def.
mite conception of what constitutes
plant food, and the soil physicist has
contributed many valuable and practi-
cal discoveries to the rapidly increas
ing fund of knowledge concerning
soils. 1t is known that suitable moist
ure and temperature conditions are
essential, not only for absorbing and
assimilating plant food, but also for
rendering the plant food of the soil
available. More recent research by
the soil bacteriologist has revealed
the fact that bacteria play an exceed
ingly important role in the problem of
soil fertility, and it is undoubtedly
true that the Importance of these mi

Good Cows in Demand.-Reports
are current that dairy stock Of high
quality is hard to get This sefers
of course to the unpedigreed stock
that sells at from $50 to $50. One
cause for this is to be found III the
practice that has been long followed
OF selling fresh COWS to dairymen, who
milk the animals through one lacta-
ticn and then send them to the butch.
er to save keeping them through the
dry period. Every sensible man
should oppose this. policy, as it tends
to lower the general quality of the
dairy stock that is the foundation of
farm dairying. A man should sell his
poor COWS and not his good ones. If
we could induce every man to gell
c:lly his poorest COW each time, we
would soon get a great improvement
in the quality of the cows on car
farms.

little understood and little appre-

There are, however, certain practi-

depth of one foot does not contain On
an average more than ten or twelve
pounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium. The following diagram
shows the relative amounts of these
elements in the surface foot of a nor.
NAL fertile soil. The quantities rep.
resented, with the exception of potas.
SUM, are somewhat greater than
those found in the average Iowa soil,
and are far in excess of those found
in the more or less impoverished soils
of the state.
1t will be seen from the diagram
that nearly all of the soil is com.
posed of mineral matter, which acts
merely as home for the plant where
moisture and food are stored for it's
use and into which 1t can develop its
roots and anchor itself against Winds
Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium
are always found in small amounts
even in the most exhausted soils, but
if any one of these three elements is
present in too small an amount to
meet the full demands of a crop, the
growth and yield of the crop will
be correspondingly decreased. These
elements do not exist in the
soil as single elements, but are
found combined with other elements,
and it has been demonstrated by ex.
pertinent that plants are capable of ap.
propriating their food only when it
exists in certain combinations. In
other words, sufficient amounts of
plant food may be present tn the soil,
but it may be in such form that plants
cannot use it. Herein lies the solu.
ton of the soil fertility problem, so
far as plant food is concerned. wiz, to
have present at all stages of the
plants growth an ample supply of
each element in a readily available
form.
The beneficial effect of manure as
shown in some test plots stands out
preeminently, not only in the general
average, but in the average fcy each

Lady Julie reflected.

pleased to meet your first floor front"
Accordingly Mrs. Todd ushered in a
good-looking youth well-tailored and
we'll set-up.
"You are from the state Of Misery,
Mrs. Todd informs me-" began Lady
Julie, when the landlady had left the
rOOm..
He stared at her in wonder, and then
broke into a clear. ringing, infectious
laugh.
'The state of Missouri" he cor
rected.
II must confess" said Lady Julie,
smiling, chat even Missouri conveys
nothing to my unenlightened mind:
"Never heard of Missouri" he ex-
claimed aghast. "But you have sure
ly heard Of. st. Louis!"
ooh, st. Louis" she cried with un-
feigned interest. eyes, I've heard of
st. Louis" recalling the place men
toned in her aunt's letter as the home
of the rich American. "But is this
your first visit to London?"
Eyes; remain here for a week.
Then am going to a house party at
some friends in the country" he re-
piled.
A sudden inspiration came to Lady
Julie, and her dark eyes shone with
interest and mischief.
81, too, am here for a week, and
then I go to the country. I think If
you are to see the sights here, you
should begin with the zoo. I think
that is where tourists begin"
"Will you accompany me?" he asked,
eagerly. "Will you be my tourist
guide for the week."
Eyes," she replied with dancing
eyes.
So they went to the zoo in bus,
and Lady Julie, viewing the polar
bear, the elephants and the monkey
house, felt like Alice in Wonderland.
The next day was spent in the park.
and successive days found them at
the museum, library, cathedral, West
minister and numerous river excur-
sions. It pleased and fattered Halden
that his fair companion always turned
the conversation to st. Louis and the
United States.
"Miss Brent" he said, earnestly, as
he came into her sitting-room for his
farewell call, twill you not relent and
tell me where you go tomorrow
mo, Mr.. Halden. You must be con-
tent with the assurance that you will
see me within short time, and
when next we meet, should it be in the
presence of others, do not allude to
this week, or to the fact that we have
met before"
"A cloud of doubt came into his frank
eyes.
"Can you not trust me?" she asked,
softly. II will explain-when I can"
II trust you entirely; and, Miss
Brent-Julie-, may I tell you what
this week has been to me?"
"Wait!". she advised, 'until we meet
again. Then you have my permission
to do So"
The next day she returned home and
made all her preparations for her visit
with a Joyous expectancy.
"You are looking your best, julie"
said her aunt when she beheld the
shining eyes and happy glow of the
youthful countenance.
Later, with beating heart, Lady
Julie entered the library. Her aunt
presented her guest. AS Lady Julie
raised her eyes to his, pang of dis
appointment went through her. This
