Necessity Of Organic Matter in the Soil or

disc it a number of times in the
opposite direction to the rolling
while yet green and succulent IN
order to cut it into small bits ;
pillow it under; disc it once or
twice after blowing, depending on
the amount Of material on the
land with the disc set at a slight
angle in order to pulverize and
mix the cut up vegetable matter
with the whole soil stratum; and
allow the land to settle q few
weeks aud receive one or mere
good rains.
We shall now take up in sue
oession and discuss the value of a
number of humus forming mate.
rails, other than animal msnures,
and then point out methods of
handling them in connection with
different crops.
In a previous chapter we gave
the average chemical analysis of
q large number of samples of
green rye in which we found this
material 10 contain 10 lbs. of
nitrogen. 5 lis. of phosphate, and
"A lbs. of potash per ton. All of
these constituents are taken from
the soil by Shs roots, built into
the tissues IF the plant and given
out again to a succeeding crop
when the rye decays.
A crop of green rye weighing
eight tons to the acre is easily
grown on the average farm in N.

Customs Officers to Question Los

New ork-Customs men of this
port seized several trunks with valu-
able furs, laces, gowns and trinkets,
which Miss Louisa Bradbury, mid
dle-aged woman, fashionably dressed.
and said to be member of prominent
Los Angeles family, brought into this
country on the steamship Lusitania.
Miss Bradbury wept bitterly over the
affair. She is not charged with at
tempting to smuggle in goods, but she
frankly said she purposed to make no
declaration as to their value. She
and her niece, Marion Winston, Of
Los Angeles, were questioned as to
why they had defed the customs au-
Ethorities.
After the hearing, deputy surveyor
of the Port Smythe said that Miss
Bradbury had given the excuse that
many Of her trends had brought fore
ign goods back from Europe without
paying duty. She refused to give
their names, but some other source
named several Los Angeles people
who, Smythe said, will be summoned
before the customs officials there.
The customs officials estimate that
Miss Bradbury's goods are worth ST.
900 here and she will have to pay this
sum, plus the possible penalty of ST.
900, to recover her baggage.

AMERICANS CAUSE RAID.
John Hays Hammond Tells inside
Of Boer War.

Boston-Released by time from an
oath not ito talk on South African
affairs nor reveal any Of the "inside"
as to the events leading up to the Boer
war, for period of years, John Hays
Hammond, who was conspicuous in that
war, broke his silence for the first
time at dinner of the clover club.
Mr.. Hammond said the Jameson
raid was the result of the activities
of reform association formed at Jo-
hannesburg, consisting largely Of
Americans.
81 want especially, /" said Mr.. Ham
mond, to correct misunderstanding.
1t is said we were acting under the
British flag. It is false.
"Much sympathy has been wasted
on Dom Paul Kruger. He was OPP
posed to progress, believing that the
world is fiat. His impositions were
such as no man Of the Anglo-Saxon
race would have tolerated.
"The reform movement against
Kruger was not an English movement.
Jameson came into the fight against
our wishes and against the wishes Of
the British high commissioner. Kru-
ger in conference demanded that no
contract should be accepted with q
Catholic or Jew. This we fatty re-
fused.
Kruger broke all his promises and
after he had secured the arms In Jo-
hannesburg he arrested the reform
committee. He gave the men to un-
derstand that if they pleaded guilty
they would be let off with fine. In
stead, they were sentenced to be hang
ed within "a hours.
Gan emphatic dispatch from Secre-
tary Olney caused President Kruger
and the Boer council to commute the
sentence to life imprisonment. =
