the soil holds in the combination
which the plant cannot readily use
up, and converts this fertilizing
material into a form in which it can
be readily used up by the plant.
Humus, therefore, is a combination
of vegetable and mineral matter
which acts as carrier of fertility
from the mineral portion of the
soil to the plant. Another desira bic
property of humus is that of holding
moisture. 1t acts like a sponge. It
will absorb large quantities of water
and hold it. Any soil rich in humus
is therefore a soil that does not dry
out readily.
Again, humus acts as the binding
material in the soil. 1t serves to
keep the soil from blowing. The
larger the amount of humus the
less tendency there is for soil to
drift. If the soils were to be robbed
OF their humus, their value for
raising crops would be greatly in
jured, and in time many soils would
be easily drifted by the wind. Get
humus into the soil. A good way
is to grow leguminous crops and
turn. under in the fall, or any time
that there is an opportunity for the
crop turned under to decay.

MATCHING BY ELECTRICITY

Sixty-nine healthy chicks from a
setting Of 70 eggs have just been
Matched by electricity on J. Don
Alexander's ranch at Reitmeier's
Station, WASH, near Spokane. The
initial test was so successful that
l,"OO eggs will be placed in the in
cubators as soon as the apparatus
can be installed. The equipment,
which ls not patented, can be
attached to an ordinary oil-burning
incubator at an expense Of less than
a dollar.
Construction of the electrically
operated incubator is simple. Mr..
Alexander took the lamps from the
oil-burning machines and wound
German silver wire around the
frames above the egg trays, con-
Meeting the coils with an incandesent
light circuit. This is made through
a contact device, consisting of a
piece Of iron fixed on the regulator
arm to dip into a cup filled with
mercury.
When the temperature in the in
chbator rises to 1O3 degrees, the
natural Matching point, the iron arm
is lifted automatically, shutting off
the current until there is fall of
one-fourth degree. As precaution
against overheating in the event of
the failure of the controlling device,
a piece of underwriters fuse is placed
IN the circuit at the hottest part of
the machine, thus shutting off the
current at 1O5 degrees fahrenheit.
The chicks which we Matched in

VALUE OF HUMUS.

One of the needs of many of our
soils is the addition of humus.
Humus is the result Of decomposing
vegetable matter. In the processes
of decomposition, the vegetable mat
ter forms certain acids which dis

WATCHFULNESS

In few other directions does watch
fulness count for so much as in the
keeping of poultry. Things that
can be easily overlooked may point
out where a gain can be made or a
greater or less loss avoided.
Close attention and watchfulness
will now and then be the means OF
discovering that a fowl is just be-
ginning to suffer from some disease.
As for instance, one is noticed with
little froth in the corner of the
eye, which also may water slightly
Hen roosting quarters should be at
once examined to see that no
draught blows upon them from the
starting or shrinking of board OF
boards or from other causes.
This eye trouble is not roup, but
the result of a slight cold, but il
neglected and the cause of its ap-
pearance allowed to continue, case
Of roup will in all probability de-
velop from it and this disease being
contagious a number of other fowls
may be affected and loss follows.
Again, it might not seem of i'm
portance to notice the droppings Of
the fowls, yet there is no surer way
Of telling whether the fowls are in a
healthy condition. Any unhealthy
change should be at once attended
to by a general variation in the feed
given.
This watchfulness counts for more
in young stock than with the older
fowls. Take for instance that
deadly disease, timber neck. II
the crop of the chicken is examined
its contents may show at once where
the food that caused the disease was
obtained and so others protected
from danger by the removal of the
cause.
If the fowls stand about at times
as il in a stupid condition and every
little while dig down in their feath-
ers, lice are pretty sure to be pre-
sent in large numbers. A little
watchfulness will point out at once
the difference between this and
preening the feathers. No fowls
can do well when lice are present to
this extent and so measures should
be at once taken to destroy as many
of the lice as possible.
The above are only few OF the
many instances where watchfulness
has proved of benefit in the keeping
Of poultry to advantage. H. E..

WHEAT YIELD LARGE THIS YEAR

Prospects for a record grain crop
in eastern Washington and Oregon,
north and central Idaho and west
ern Montana were never better at
this time of the year, according to
reports from growers. 1t is esti-
mated that the wheat crop alone
will be matter of $4,000, 900
bushels. The bureau of statistics
of the United States Department of
Agriculture says in report that
the present condition of the winter
wheat in Washington and Oregon is
81 percent of normal, compared to
a 1O-year average of 80 for Wash
ington and 80 for Oregon and an
average of 1873 percent for the Uni
ted states. Idaho shows IS per
cent against an average of SO. The
condition at the same time last
spring was "a per cent for Wash
ington and SO for Oregon, while the
1O-year average condition of the en-
tire country was S6.9 per cent. AS
there has been plenty of moisture
during the winter months, the far
mers say there is every reason to
believe that the spring wheat yield
also will be a large one this season.
