The value of humus in the soil is
not only that 1t supplies an element of
plant food, but that 1t absorbs mois-
ture and is an obstacle to evaporation.
says the Rural Californian. 1t also
prevents soil erosion and waste. The
most successful farmer is the one who
takes the most pains to utilize every
element of his farm products that con.
tributes humus to the soil. This is
especially important in localities where
the surface is uneven or broken, and
the earth is not firm, or. In other
words, is easily eroded by rainfall.

RoosEvE1T's POPULARITY.
1t Draws Out Good Many Funny
Propositions.


A government official just returned
from Nairobi, where he met Colonel
Roosevelt, is A. B. Baker, assistant
director of the National Geological
park, who assembled a fine collection
Of animals. In an interview Mr.
Baker said "The day l got TO Mai
robi | saw Colonel Roosevelt drive by
in a carriage wearing a well-worn
khaki suit and a wide-brimmed felt
hat. He had come in from the wilds
for rest Kermit Roosevelt told me
his father wanted me to take tea with
him. | found that the colonel carried
less weight than when he left Wash
ington and looked as hard as nails,
His skin was about the color OF saddle
leather.
Coionel Roosevelt said he thought
he had discovered, while president,
every type of folly the American peo-
pie were capable of, but he had dis.
covered new one since he had Deen
in Africa. The proprietor of every
small zoo in America had written,
asking him to send a specimen. Any
thing would do, from a field mouse to
a tiger. The richest letter he had, the
Colonel added, came from a society
of hunters in New York The mem
bers wanted to give him dinner upon
his return, the secretary had written,
and would he please pickle, preserve
or otherwise keep in condition piece
Of meat from every sort of animal he
had killed, so they could have them
all for dinner7 TT looks as If they
want me to give them a dinner, in
stead of letting them give me one,
was Colonel Roosevelt's concluding re-
mark. while in Nairobi saw three
wagonloads of skins and skeletons col.
lected by the Roosevelt party going to
the warehouse. l heard that in one
of the crocodiles they killed an arm
and leg of native had been found"

THE AMERICAN WORKMAN.
His Condition as Compared TO Ems
Iish and German LabOrers.

His Condition as Compared TO Eno
Iish and German LabOrers.
J. B. Street, statistican for the Brit
ish department Of commerce and Ia
Dor, who has been investigating com
parative conditions of working people
throughout Germany, the United
States and England, says that the
American workingman lives higher,
works lesser hours and has a better
time all around than either his Ger
man or English brethren.
II find that the skilled man In the
United States has better and more
varied diet than in any other country
have investigated" he said. THE
English workman has as much meat,
but he hasn't the variety Of vegetables
and sweets. His meals lack imagina'
ton"
The German mechanic Mr.. Street
finds to be in the worst condition OF
all. His trades unions are the most
complete and best organized Of the
three countries considered. and yet he
works more hours, gets less pay, eats
less, and is worse housed than any Of
them. They get rs per cent less pay
than Englishmen," said Mr.. Street.
They work 10 hours day as against
nine in England and eight In the
United States, and their cost Of living
Is 18 per cent higher"
The, poor districts of American
cities failed to horrify Mr.. Street. He
said they had worse at home.
I've been through your poorest Sec
tion," said he. "It Is much the same
as one finds in all the large cities OF
the world. The difference here is that
there is an appearance Of energy and
hopefulness in most Of your poor peo-
pie. The reason is, take 1t, that they
had enough enterprise and thrift to
start with to get themselves over here
with the intention of bettering their
condition"

Certified milk sells in all large cities
for about twice the price Of other
milk. 1t Is absolutely clean, no impuri-

Horses seldom suffer from decayed
teeth. but because Of the upper teeth
closing on the lower ones little on
the outside points are sometimes found
which lacerate the cheek or penetrate
the gums, creating tenderness that
prevents the proper mastication of
food, annoying the horse so much that
he falls away very rapidly.

TO WORSHIP ALONE.

Men and Women to Have Separate
Prayer Meetings.
Believing that men will feel more
at home" in church If the women do
not worship with them, the Rev. Trigg
A. M. Thomas, pastor Of the Eastmin-
ster Presbyterian church Of Kansas
City, NO., has arranged to have the
men and women of his congregation
meet in separate rooms at the weekly
prayer meetings.
II do not intend to separate my reg
ular Sunday congregations" said the
Rev. Mr.. Thomas, because that serv-
ice is meeting for the enlighten-
ment of the people on the Bible by
the minister. But the Wednesday
evening prayer meeting is for heart
to heart talks on subjects Of religion.
A man can sit beside his wife and
listen to a sermon, but when it comes
his turn to talk in the prayer meeting
he is silent. What want to do is to
get the men to talk on religion, and I
think I have solved the problem in the
separation Of the men from the wo-
men,"
