loss of over fourth of our transportation.
However, when came to figure that over
seven hundred pounds of our supplies were
already consumed and to find that our other
porters remained stanch, realized that by
packing our saddle mules we could take care
of the excess loads our remaining porters could
not carry.
Then corking bit of good befell us. One of
our loyal porters found a mile away fine tank,
previously unknown to Outram, which fur
nished sufficient water to give all our men and
animals an afternoon drink, and gave US be
sides perhaps ten twelve quarts for our
twenty-five mile march, meager enough for
forty-tive men, but still far better than none.
So, at five P. NJ, we loaded the donkeys, and
Outram and led out across the lake, Judd fol-
lowing on the rear of the porters. Crunching
over wide, pinkish white, desccated areas, slip
ping about in ashen gray slime, wading shallow
channels, mile and half brought us across
the lake to the foot of steep gorge that led to
the top of the next escarpment. South or west

we could reach the Guaso Nyiro River. Men
and animals were exhausted and footsore. Two
or three carefully boarded quarts of water in
our canvas bags was all we had left The men
were ugly and wanted to turn back. After a con-
ference, we decided to lay there for the day and
attempt to win through by forced night march.

other ways in which humus helps.

"What kind Of crops use up
the humus fastest?"
"All cultivated crops consume
it fastest, or rather they allow
least vegetable matter to go back
to make new humus to keep up
the supply. Corn and cotton are
especially hard on the land for
this reason. Their clean cult

fertilizer every year the ground

TALK ABOUT HUMUS.
How Necessary 1t Is In Maintaining
Fertility OF The Soil.

C'Uncle Zeke," regular contributor to Home
And Farm, from which paper this article is Ia
. ken, holds an imaginary conversation with
reader on subject of Importance to farmers)
"And you say this is Uncle
Zeke? Well, my old friend, |
have been wanting to see you a
long time. have been reading
your letters for many years, and
there are several things ! want
more light about"
Gail right, Mr.. Jones, | am
glad to meet you and shall be
glad to answer such questions as
| can. What will you have?"
"Well, you talk a great deal
about humus. Now, | am not
sure that l fully understand the
term. Please explain it further.
"Humus is the black dirt in
your fields. 1t comes from the
decay of vegetable or animal
matter, but mostly vegetable,
Anything that rots in the ground
makes humus."
"Why do fresh lands or new
grounds produce crops so much
better than old land?"
''It is because the soil is filled
with humus, which has accumu.
lated there for ages. The leaves
of the trees have rotted every
year and dead twigs and old logs
have contributed their share
also."
81 see; but what becomes Of
this humus after the farmer has
cultivated the land for some
years, for it seems gradually to
disappear?"
"It disappears because it rots
out or is used up, and the new
supply is not kept up from year
to year, as when the trees fur.
nished leaves. A great deal Of
humus is also washed away by
the rains. The farmer should
manage to turn under pea crop
or put plenty Of manure on the
land to keep up the supply Of
humus, And the more grass
and weeds he can plow under to
rot the more humus he will have
to grow crops"
"But have seen farmers burn
off dry grass before they plowed
the land. Was that the best
way?'
OF course not, unless they want
to make their land poor as fast
as possible. They ought to turn
under as much as they can of
everything that grows so IL will
rot and make humus to enrich
the land"
"Do you think 1t possible for
farmers to keep their lands rich
by constantly supplying humus?
| thought all lands had to wear
out"
ut is certainly possible by
proper management to keep the
land rich and even to make 1t
more 30 from year to year. In
countries where the farmers are
careful to keep up the supply OF
humus in their soil the land re-
mains fertile and even improves
for hundreds and even thousands
of years, producing abundant
crops all the time.'
"You surprise me. II that is
the way Of 1t ! am going to turn
over a new leaf and get oil the
humus into my land that 10 pos.
sible. When there is nothing
else TO do this winter why couldn't
