the. three essential elements. Three
fouFths Of the air is made up Of nj
trogen. Clover and other leguminous
crops are able to get nitrogen from
this source by means Of bacteria which
live on their roots. These bacteria
change the nitrogen Of the air into nj
trates, a form in which it can be used
by the plants. Fully one-third OF the
nitrogen collected by the clover plant
is left in the soil in the roots and stub
BILE. One crop Of clover in a four year
rotation will furnish nearly enough nj.
trogen for the remaining three crops
in the rotation.
This is a much cheaper form Of OBJ
tanning nitrogen than by purchasing it
in commercial fertilizers at 10 to 10
cents a pound. 1t is much more profit
able to keep the nitrogen supply fairly
constant by the continued use of a ro-
tation with legumes than to add a
large amount at one tin >. Nitrogen in
the form Of nitrates is readily soluble,
and every rain washes some Of it out
of the soil This is not true Of the
other essential elements to any marked
extent Too liberal a supply of nitro
gen at one time tends also to promote
too rapid leaf growth at the expense
of fruit or grain.
The stubble and roots Of the clover,
together with the cornstalks and other
rubbish. will do a great deal to keep
up the humus supply. In addition to

VOT all lands need tile drainage,
but there are none on which
the problem Of maintaining
- fertility is not an important
one. Fertility OF the land in its broad
est sense means its ability to produce
large crops.
One OF the important factors infu-
encing fertility is the amount Of plant
food In the soil. Ten elements, car
bon. hydrogen, oxygen. calcium, mag
nesium, iron, sulphur, nitrogen. potas-
SUM and phosphorus. are necessary to
the growth Of plants. From 80 to 80
per cent Of the dry matter of plants is
made up Of carbon, oxygen and by
drogen, which are obtained from air
and water. OF the others only three.
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, are
used in such large quantities that the
supply in the soil is likely to become
exhausted. These three are usually
spoken of as the essential plant foods.
Amount of Plant Food In Soils.
These plant foods are present in
varying amounts in all soils. In many
cases it is necessary to increase the
supply by the use of commercial fer
tilizers. The real need Of most soils,
however, is not the addition of more
of these materials, but the judicious
use of those already there. 1t is esti-
mated that there is enough phosphor-
us in the upper seven inches Of soil
in the Mississippi valley to raise
hundred bushels Of corn to the acre
every year for sixty years and enough
potassium to last 600 years at the
same rate. Much Of this phosphorus
and potassium is combined with other
materials in such a form that it is un-
available for the use Of the plants
One of the principal problems Of the
farmer, then, is to make this stored fer
tility available.
One of the most effective means of
doing this is by keeping the soil plen-
tifully supplied with humus. Humus
is the name given to decaying organic
matter in the soil. 1t is the humus
that gives the dark. rich color to soils.
II leaves that brown streak in the
furrow" that farmers have long re-
garded as an indication of fertility.
Humus gives the soil spongy texture
and greatly increases its water holding
capacity. 1t also makes the soil lighter
and warmer. Soils which contain large
amounts Of humus do not bake or
become cloddy easily. They are mel
low and respond readily to cultivation
Humus contains considerable nitrogen
and furnishes a home for bacteri;.,
which aid in making plant food avail
able. Certain acids are also formed in
the decaying of humus that aid in
making the phosphorus and potas-
slum available. 1t might almost be
said that the chief problem Of main
tanning fertility is the problem Of keep
ing the soil supplied with humus.
Maintaining the Humus Supply
Probably the best way Of maintain
ing this humus supply is by the liberal
use Of barnyard manure. The surplus
straw should be used for bedding. so
as to save all the liquid portion and
add to the bulk Of the manure. Shred
ded fodder is also good for this pur-
pose. The manure should be hauled
Milford chronicle., 1909-07-02

Tiles Setting a Specially

FIG. uI-ACoUMULATION OF MANURE
to the land as fast as formed. When
it is allowed to decay in the barnyard
much of the nitrogen is lost. and rains
falling upon it also wash out other ele
ments. The manure spreader is an
implement that should be found in
every barnyard The manure can be
loaded direct from the stables to the
spreader at almost all seasons of the
year and spread in an even layer upon
the field. With a spreader the manure
can be made to cover twice as much
ground, so that the whole farm can be
gone over oftener.
While barnyard manure is undoubt-
edly one Of the best means Of main
tanning fertility, it cannot always be
had. Many farmers. because Of their
location near markets which demand
certain crops, find it more profitable to
supply those crops than to raise live
stock. Others prefer grain farming
because it is less conhning. Such farm
ers must have some method Of main
tanning fertility which does not depend
primarily upon manure.
The Value Of Glover.
The best substitute for manure is
clover. Glover supplies an abundance
Of nitrogen, the most rapidly used OF

its action. Lime has another advan
tage on clay soils in that it causes the
particles to adhere together in larger
masses, thus making the soil more
porous. The usual rate Of application
is from twenty to forty bushels to the
acre. With the application Of lime, as
well as with the adoption Of any other
new method, It is best to try it on a
small scale first. Then If it proves
profitable its use can be extended.
The judicious use of clover or some
other legume will effectively solve the
humus and nitrogen problems. There
remains the question Of the potassium
and phosphorus supply. Clover Also
aids with these. The humus formed
from it helps to dissolve the unavail-
able materials and prepare them for
the use of the plant AS stated before.
there is enough potassium in the upper
seven inches Of the average prairie
soil to last 600 years under the most
intensive culture and enough phos-
phorus for fifty years. Glover changes
this seven inches into twice as many
feet. Glover roots go down ten or a
dozen feet or farther. Alfalfa roots go
down twenty feet or more. These deep
roots bring up minerals from the lower
layers Of soil and leave them where
the shallower rooted grain crops can
get them

Maxim EertIIity AvaiIabIe.

Gypsum, or land plaster, has a con-
siderable effect in making potassium
and phosphorus available. Applied at
the rate Of 500 or GOO pounds per acre,
It viii often increase crop yields con

bushels to the acre.
Probably the most effective way Of
making phosphorus, potassium or 9th
er plant foods available is by tillage.
Frequent and thorough cultivation,
keeping the soil fine and mellow, ia
vors the chemical processes by which
locked up plant food is made available.
It must be remembered, however,
that the faster these materials are lib
Grated the sooner will the supply be
come exhausted. When rotation with
legumes, tillage and the application Of
lime and gypsum no longer produce
satisfactory results It is a sign that
there is a lack Of potassium or phos-
phorus, or both. in the soil. Phos-
phorus is more liable to become scanty
In amount since the supply is smaller.
Bonemeal and ground phosphate rock
are the best forms in which to apply
this material. The former is quicker
in its action, but considerably more ex-
pensive. Potassium is usually bought
IN the form Of muriate or sulphate.

this, II no manure at all is available
some humus may have to be supplied
from some other source. This is espe-
ciaIly true if the soil is naturally poor
in humus. One of the simplest ways
to supply this is by green manuring.
This means the turning under Of a
green crop, such as clover, cOwpeas or
some other legume This supplies both
humus and nitrogen. The best time to
plow under such a crop is in the fall,
so that It will have time to decay be-
fore spring A large mass Of unde-
cayed material plowed under in the
spring checks the upward movement
Of moisture and is liable to make the
land sour.
Another method Of adding to the hu-
mus supply is by moving a crop OF
clover about haying time and letting it
lie on the ground. The second crop
can be cut in the same way or used for
fall feed or for seed.

STRENGTHENING
BY MACHINERY

If Jungclaus and Ludwigsen hadn't
landed a 1925 dough-mixer machine
here from the East they would have
been closing the doors of the Palm
Cafe today.
Last night five Chinese, foreman
and four bakers, went out on strike.
They wanted more dough of the kind
that goes easy, is not sticky to the
fingers. Jungclaus referred them to
the yeast for rise, but they quit work
and joined the bread-line.
Jungclaus turned to with a couple
of green hands and got things going
in shape so as to turn out enough
bread and cakes and mullins and such
to supply this mornings demand.
1--WE anticipated strike someday,' -
said Jungclaus this afternoon, 80 we
got the machine. You put the yeast
in one box, the milk in another, the
-four in another and the sugar in an.
other, and then you press a button and
turn out your article" ?
Four of the strikers today returned
to work, the machine having broken
their strike.
