Save The Humus in Missouri
Soils.

The most important cause for
the decreased prOductiveness of
such lands in Missouri as are
said to be worn out, is the de-
crease in the vegetable mater or
humus in these soils, due as a
rule to excessive grain farming.
This humus is necessary in all fer
tile soils for the purpose of keep
ing them loose and in a condition
suited to the making soluble of
the plant food which they con-
tain. The decay of humus in
soils is essential to a large sup
ply of available plant food. When
cultivated crops or small grain
crops are grown, this vegetable
matter is rapidly burned out
and it is necessary therefore, to
resort to some means of keeping
up this supply if the land is to
remain permanently fertile.
Humus is built up in soils
mainly by crop rotation, especial
ly where the rotation includes le-
gume crops, such as clover and
cOwpeas and where the crops
grown are largely fed on the
land. Legume crops are espec-
tally valuable in building up hui
mus because they have the prop
erty of fixing nitrogen from
the air and therefore making it
possible to build up larger guam
titles of humus than would other
wise be possible, To build up
the land most rapidly however,
an occasional crop of legumes
should be turned under. This
can be done by throwing in an
extra crop of cOwpeas between
the regular crops in the rotation,
or bv blowing under an occasion
al second crop of clover. The
man who is to maintain his land
in the highest degree of product
iveness can not do it without pro-
viding these means of keeping up
the humus.

Substitute for a Glass Cutter.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Occasionally the man of the
house or his wife may have need
to cut a sheet of window glass
and be without a glass cutter Of
any kind that will work.
An excellent substitute for the
work is a pair of heavy scissors
or shears that are of no partic-
ular value. Submerge the glass
in water to a depth of three or
four inches and cut the edges as
you would a piece of pasteboard
A plate of glass may not be oil
vided in half with this apparatus,
as it is supposed the narrow clip
pings will break away, but unless
biting too deep in the main sheet
that is to be preserved the weight
of the water acts to prevent shat
tering as otherwise would be at
fected.
