SOIL FERTILITY.
Principles by Means of Which II 10
Restored or Maintained.

nSStuFoC OF m6tntStned.
Soil fertility can be restored and
maintained in any agricultural region
by the persistent practice of simple
systems of farming. The growing of
ieguminous crops. the turning under
OF green manures to make humus and
the systematic rotation of crops are
absolutely essential. In most attempts
to rebuild soils the use of the element
phosphorus is equally important. With
the exception of swamp or peaty types.
all soils are adequately provided with
potassium. Nitrogen can be secured
through clover, alfalfa. cowneas, SOY
beans. vetch and the like. No farmer
should buy commercial nitrogen for
ordinary field use. Truck farmers and
gardeners require it In this form for
quick action in small areas, but farm
ers can obtain an abundance of the
element practically without cost by
growing legumes.
In order to make those restora tive
crops attain proper growth most soils
east ard many types west of the Mis-
slsslppi river must be lined. Failures
with the clovers are due almost alto

essary. Lerumes that do not form tn

bacteria. Soil taken from spot. in

be used in inoculating for alfalfa.

soil per acre IS sufficient. 1t should be
obtained from successful field or

The end of the instrument is at.

should be taken to sterilize the tube in
boiling water or corrosive subimate;
also to wash the end of the teat. as
there Is great danger of doing more
harm than good to the udder. After
the tube is inserted in the teat the
operator forces the air into the udder

to diStend the udder too much. In the
treatment of milk fever and garget it
Is customary to place rubber bands
around each teat to prevent the air
from escaping too rapidly. For milk
fever it sometimes requires a second
injection, but if the bands are used
one treatment is usually enough.
For garget the udder is not filed
quite so full as for milk fever, and
after the udder is inflated it is thor
oughly massaged, especially the quar-
ter affected with garget.

FIGHTING BEE DISEASES.

Work of Department or Agriculture In
Keeping Down Pests.
The honeybee annually produces a
crop of honey worth at least $40. 600
OO0. and there are vast opportunities
for increasing this output. The most
serious handicap to beekeeping in the
United States is the fact that thera
are contagious diseases which attack
the brood of the honeybee. There
are now recognized two such diseases
known as American foul brood and
European foul brood From data re-
Gently obtained by the United States
department of agriculture it is known
that American foul brood exists In 2So
counties in thirty-seven states and En-
ropean foul brood in 100 counties in
tWautyfour states, and it is estimated
couservatively that these diseases are
causing loss to the beekeepers of
the United States of at least 81 900 OUU
annually. This estimate is based on
tie probable value of the colonies
which die and the approximate loss of
crop due to the weakened condition of
diseased colonies The distribution of
these diseases is by no means fully
known. and they are constantly
spreading.
The cause of American foul brood
has been found by the department to
he a specific bacterium, and enough
is known of the cause and nature of
European foul brood. which is also a

cerling treatment for both diseases.

COULD DO FOR HERSELF

She was a very delightful but a
very aged lady-over ninety-and her
friends and relatives, and even chance
acquaintances, drawn by her exquis-
lite personality all did her homage, and
as the saying is, waited on her hand
and foot"
She accepted it all very graciously,
but with some inward rebellion, for
to very old and close mouthed friend
she once said, with quaint pucker OF
lips and brows:

sPEcULArlNe ON MARGIN.
American and English Ways Of Doing
II Are Very Different.

In America a spectators capital
with an exception to be noted below
is necessarily at least the size of his
margin in his brokers' hand, though
it is to be feared that in only too many
instances it is Just this and nothing
moro.
On the London Stock Exchange an
other method prevails which, says
Moody's Magazine, it is probable has
done more in the long ago past to
give stock speculation its bad name
than all the episodes of an unsavory
nature which have ever occurred on
American exchanges. In London after
the inevitable introduction to a broker
the new customer gives his order, but
makes no deposit at all.
The broker is supposed to learn
something of his new clients means
and how far he should be allowed to
commit himself. Twice a month the
English have what they call their set
tlement days. A customer long of a
stock whose commitment has gone
somewhat against him is then requir-
ed to pay the differences, as they are
called, between his purchase price
and the current quotation.
He must also pay a charge called a
contango for holding the settlement
over into the next fortnightly period
if he does not wish to close the COM
mitment. As a consequence Of this
way of doing business a Spectator
may be trading on a few points mar
gin in reality, or, in fact, on no mar
gin at all. He may be utterly psnni-
less without the broker knowing it.
That this method works out with
fewer losses in England than it would
do here is due to the fact that the
social and economic strata to which
an Englishman belongs are much east
er to determine than the correspond
ing-fac among us, and also that an
introduction means more there than
here, as the introducer is regarded as
to a certain extent responsible moral
ly for the business department of his
friend.
1t is worth while observing land
this is the exception referred to
above) that in certain instances the
methods pursued in American stock
exchange houses are the same as those
obtaining in London. Little as the fact
is known, it is not an infrequent GUS
tom for very wealthy spectators to
have no fixed margin or even no mar
gin at all with their brokers.
If man of this sort loses on a CON-
mitment he sends his broker a check
for the loss. If he wins, his brokers re-
nit to him for his gains. The broker
dislikes to offend a very powerful eli
ent by troubling him for funds, and
hence takes risks with his account
which he would not dream of taking
with the account of smaller men. In
stances of this sort sometimes become
public in cases where the broker is
forced into bankruptcy, whether owing
to this cause or not

Only 2177 Years Young.
On the subject of the age of the Big
Tree (sequoia gigantea) the Berkeley
professor maintains his cold disre-
gard for the feelings of imaginative
writer's. He says: "The stump of a
tree at Atwell Mill, 10 1-3 feet in dia-
meter, showed 1885 rings. The first
43 inches, contained 795 rings, the 80
inches outside contained $50 rings,
thus averaging twenty rings to the
inch. These figures correspond fairly
well with some counts made by 9TH
ers. Applying these figures to other
trees whose trunks are up to 80 feet
in diameter would give calculated ages
varying from 1000 to 1000 years. Let
us now check mere figuring with a
specific case. The Father of the For
est is q feet in diameter across the
stump inside the bark. It's calculated
age, therefore, would be 6S4O years.
When cut, it's actual age was found
to be about 1900 years."
Ring Around the Big Tree.
In 1907 Professor Jepson counted
the rings of fifteen trees in the Cor
verse Basin. He found the ages If
the trees to vary from 257 to 2177
years. However, PITT years is quite
ripe old age, and ought to satisfy
even the most romantic.
The book contains some distressing
information. For instance, practically
the whole of the remarkable Redwood
Belt is under private ownership and
will inevitably be numbered At the
present rate of cutting the last of
the virgin forests will be milled with
in forty-five years, and probably
much sooner. At present one can
drive for twenty miles in Humboldt
and Del Norte counties through un-
broken tracks of the nobIest forests
In the world. But the trees are
doomed unless some way can be
found to set aside as natural wonder
parks some of the magnificent groves
on the Eel and Smith rivers.

Alas, for Credulityl

Many of these trees simulate the
classical figures of the cedars of LeD-
anon, and it is not uncommon for the
drivers on the Seventeen Mile
Stages to cater to the taste for the
romantic and speak of them as such.
The age Of the monterey cypress lii
the native groves is not readily de-
terminable, since the trees, on ac-
count of their rarity and interest, are
not cut either for fuel or lumber. One
fallen tree sawn through to rem. We
1t from the roadway was ninety-eight
years old, and had trunk two feet in
diameter Since the tree grows rap
idly, it would seem fair to hazard that
two hundred to three hundred years
represents the extreme age of the old
er trees. The advertisement of them
in seaside literature as one thous-
and to two thousand years old does not,
so far as the writer is able to deter
mine, rest upon any actual data, and
probably represents a desire to min
lister to a popular craving for big
ness and extremes"

Needs No Embroidery.

Professor Jepson, however, does not
deny that these dbroken and pic
turesque guardians of the ocean cliffs
are native to only two spots in the
wide world-Cypress Point, near Mon
terey, and Point Lobos, on Carmel
bay. But apart from their history, the
visible appeal of the Monterey cy-
press is sufficient to maintain their
fame; they need no embroidery of fic-
ton to enhance them.
Concerning this cypress and other
trees peculiar to limited coast areas
Professor Jepson writes:
These extremely local species Of
fer interesting problems. Evidence
Is available to show that some Of
them, and probably all, had at one
time a greater range than at present,
and that they are now living under
changed climatic conditions. While
biologists are not agreed as to the os-
citations of the Coast Ranges. it
seems very certain that the Santa
Barbara Islands were connected with
the south coast ranges during part of
the pleistocene and offered an area
for plant habitation of great extent
compared with the unsubmerged rem.
nants of the present islands. The eli,
