Particles in Ordinary Soil.

Common soil contains as many as
400, 900, 900 separate PARTICLES to the
ounce, and between these are infinite
Iy thin layers of what the modern
soil doctor calls ''f1lm water" 1t is
on this film water, not on the soil
itelf, that plants feed, or it dissolves
from the earth particles the food
which the plants require to keep
them WE'LL The plants feed, too, on
air-not only the air above the surface
of the earth. but that which permeates
the minute cracks between the earth
PARTICLES. Ninety per cent. of any
crop taken off field comes, not from
the soil of that field, but from the air
above and in it.
Water, however, is the most impor-
tant medicine which the soil doctor
knows. The amount of water needed,
to grow one ton of common hay has
been calculated to be sufficient to
cover one acre field more than
foot deep. Fortunately for the farm
er, even the driest soil, when COM
pressed, is discovered to contain more
than half it's own weight of film water.
Too much water in the soil is as bad
as too little, for if the soil is water
logged the crop will be drowned" as
surely as a man can be drowned in
any DO 1y of water.

Observe how easily it is done?
You double the amount of your
receipts and cut in two your ex-

Let us look at those receipts. First
l am going to lop off S38O8. %, just
one third of the price for which, by
implication, the eggs we're sold. For,
mark you, it is not stated that Sill,

at all. That is the amount the eggs
would have brought at the mighty RI
diculous, or ridiculously high price of
40 cents, average for the whole year.
That is why deduct one third.
Conservatory enough I would add
to the cost of raising those broiiers
about 1920 because if only 800 broilers
were raised with 1858 pullets there
must have been some good sized
losses in raising, despite the books
statement to the contrary. And at
least $1,000 should be added to the
cost of raising the pullets. No

Quite a number of philanthropic
eastern gentlemen are now on the job
of enriching the poultry raisers of the
country and so bent are they upon
this laudable purpose that they are
ia king full page advertisements, in
such poultry papers as are liberal
with free reading notices disguised as
honest reading matter, to spread the
glad tidings that they are extremely
DESTROYS of sharing their own example
and prosperity with all and sundry-
for trifling consideration. For some
months Mr.. Brown has been adj
vertising extensively in the endeavor
to sell stock in ''big practical Lake
wood Farm "a property that by his
own confession is so valuable that it
is plainly to be seen that only the
most altruistic of men could bring
himself to part with a single share of
it to his fellows. And now comes the
Farm journal Publishing Company
and puts forth volume which de-
native, how twelve thousand dollars a
year may be garnered in the country
business, and how the common Or
garden variety of chickens may be in
duced to yield six dollars and forty
one cents profit per annum. Yes, dear
reader, this is the same Farm journal
in which for many years, we joyed to
read Judge Bicycles charming and
spiritual essays on "High Farming at
Elmwood; PIN which, for many years,
has appeared that celebrated "faiI
play" notice to advertisers. This
amazing volume is entitled 1854 Per
Hen Per Year. and the full page ad-
vertisements, so literally besprinkling
the poultry press, begin in this
manner -Four years ago the Corn
ings, father and son, both in poor
health, and with no practical expert
ence, took up egg raising on small
New Jersey farm, beginning with only
thirty hens. Today they are both in
splendid health, they have fine egg
producing plant and business that,
with 1858 hens, paid last year clear
profit of more than twelve thousand
dollars.'' But let us with out wasting
time on the stuff handed out as facts

sane man believes that pullets can be
raised nowadays, to LAYING maturity,
for forty cents each.
Most breeders with fairy established
regulations would expect to spend S76O
at least in selling 1858 pullets at So. 90
each. If Mr.. Corning could sell all
those pullets at fancy prices without
advertising why doesn't he apply the
same method to pushing the sale of
his book?
To cost of feeding the pullets dur
ing the ten month season of laying
1918. 42 should be added as they can
not be fed properly under 121a cents
per month.
On this plant, with an admitted out
lay of more than 800, 900 depreciation,
interest on the investment, insurance
and taxes would amount to not less
than $4,000.
Well then, we have so far to deduct
from this attractive looking profit the
following items

profits to S3968. 81 per year and, even
at that, there is not one cent charged
up up to drayage, shipping expenses
or extra labor of any kind.
Bah! Says the Farm Journal ad-
vertisement: "Next year they plan
to have 1000 hens. What do you think
their profits will be?''
l don't mind saying that | think
their profits WILL for the most part,
consist of their rake off from the sale

Boston. Sept. 1.-THE recent an
ton as shown by the census of 1910,
disclosing the fact that Boston is still
ranked below ST. Louis as the fifth
city in the country, has revived the
discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing Greater Boston" by annexing

1t is pointed out by business men
who advocate such an enlargement
that Boston is the only large city in
the country whose immediate suburbs

Charged Against Former
Sub-Treasury Teller.
Arrested After 3 Years Watch
ing by Secret Service Men.
New York Merchant Charged With
Stealing from a Bank.

Chicago, Sept. 14-George w. Fitz-
the Chicago federal sub-treasury, was
arrested today by deputy United
States niarshals, charged with the
theft of $4,000, which mysteriously
disappeared from the Chicago sub
treasury on Feb. 10, 1907.
Fitzgerald was arrested on a bench
warrant, based on an indictment re-
turned secretly by federal grand
jury on Feb. II, 1910. The fact Of the
Indictment was suppressed until to-
day. Three days after the indictment
was secretly returned it was an
nounced that the statute of limitations
operated to stop possible criminal ac
ton in the case.
Coincident with this ruse Secret Ser
vice men were detailed to watch Fitz-
gerald constantly and to make a rigid
investigation of the former teller
financial interests and affairs. The dis
coveries MADE by these detectives re-
suited in the order for Fitzgerald 8
arrest. He was formally arraigned and
his bail was fixed at $4,000. Being un-
able to give bond in this sum he was
taken to Jail.
Attaches of the district attorneys
office declare that since the disap-
pearance of the $4,000 from the SUBJ
treasury Fitzgerald has done the fol-
lowing things:
Organized the Illinois Car Manufac-
turing Co.. with a $4,000 plant at
Hammond, Ind.
Organized the Illinois Bolt. Nut &
Forging Co., with large plant in Chica-
go.
Dealt extensively in stocks and bonds
Moved from a moderate fiat to $4,000
residence, which he paid for and fur
nished extensively.
Lived in costly style and entertained
friends lavishly.
From the time of the returning of the
suppressed Indictment ON Feb. II, FitZ-
gerald was never out of sight of Secret
Service men when awake, and while he
slept operatives were on guard at his
home or hotel. Meanwhile all his finan-
cial transactions were checked up closely
and certain investments traced to him.
The sub-treasury loss occurred on Feb.
49, 1907. The money was all in $1,000 and
$4,000 bills. Federal officers throughout
the country were brought into the hunt
for the missing money. For three years
all persons found to have $1,000 and $4,000
bills were subjected to scrutiny by Secret
Service agents.
