SEES LITTLE GAIN
FROM PANAM CANAL
French Expert Holds Worlds, Trade
Will Go BY Suez or Around
Cane Horn,

Paris.-The passing of the Ameri
can Panama canal bill into law has
given rise to discussion of the exag-
gerat' on of the importance of the ca
nal itself to the worlds shipping
one of the maritime authorities in
France, NJ. Jose Moseli. says the
enormous advantages OF the new ca
nal are not sufficient to bring to
Panama the trade enjoyed by Suez
for while the voyage from Europe to
the east via Panama would be fif-
teen days shorter, this advantage
would be more than counterbalanced
by the difficulty of obtaining freight.
BY the Suez route. he says, vessels
tap Egypt. India and China, where
freights are profitable and abund-
ant, while there would not seem to
be much to be picked up by the Pan
anna route. On the return '"
might make a slight detour to Chile
and load nitrate, but at $3.50 a ton
this would not appear attractive.
Sees Little Passenger Gain.
From passenger point of view,
he continues, the Panama route would
benefit only travellers between Eu
rope. the west coast of the United
States and Australia. European pas
sengers for Chile would arrive as
quickly by going direct to Buenos
Ayres and taking the transandean
railroads.
AS to the nitrates and saltpeter of
Chile-not very profitable freight
| it is to be presumed that the sailing
ships might carry it now will contin-
ue to use the Cape Horn route, not
only to avoid the canal dues, but be-
cause calms are frequent and long
| in the Gulf of Panama.
There remains the question of coal.
| Seventy-five per cent of existing car
go steamers carry between 5000 and
5000 tons. Their speed is small and
medium distances.
Between Panama and Asia or Aus
/ tralia there is the whole Pacific
ocean to be crossed, fifteen to twenty
days navigation. only rich freights
would permit such an expense.
From all this, concludes NJ Mos
elli it appears the prime Importance
of the canal is strategical, in that it
permits the United States fleet to op-
crate indifferently on either shore of
the continent.
Thanks to the new canal, the AM
erican fleet will be able to accom-
plish in two or three weeks "a journey
which formerly required three months
and that, without doubt, will hasten
the settling of accounts which sooner
or later must take place between the
United States of America and Japan
for the supremacy of the Pacific.

VARIOUS AGENCIES CONCERNED
I'm FORMATION OF THE SOIL
w Things Suggested Farmer to
of Ferti1ity-First Is Assist Nature by Means
Of Good TiIIage and Second OF


It will readily be understood that
the various agencies concerned in the
formation of the soil do not act sep
arately nor necessarily in any such
order as that in which they have been
discussed
AS matter of fact all the processes
described take place simultaneously
The lower plants do not wait for the
rocks to be pulverized, for We see
such organisms as the lichens grow
ing on rocks from which one would
think it impossible to obtain food.
If the lichen is removed, grooves or
burrows will be found on the surface
of the stone, due to the action of the
plant.
Nor are all soils formed directly
from the original rocks, for one of the
effects of weathering, ETC., is to sep
arate such rocks as the GRANTEES into
simpler substances, with the result,
for example, that huge deposits of
limestone are formed in one place,
and in another whole hills of sand
stone.
The soil is almost constantly NOV
ing, for some of the same agencies
which form soils are continually car
rying them away. Running water
grinds the rocks, but at the same time
transports the fine particles to lower
levels. 1t cuts deep valleys in the
surface of the earth and carries away
the debris, depositing it at various
distances from it's source.
This study of the formation of the
soil then suggests two things that the
farmer can do to prevent the ex-
haustion of the fertility.
The first is to so treat the soil as
to assist and hasten nature in the
process of converting the plant food
into available forms by means of good
tillage.
The second is to return to the soil
by means of manure and fertilizers
an amount of plant food equivalent to
that removed by the crop.

(By ALFRED VIvIAN.)

Vegetation begins with the very
simplest forms of plants, such as Itch
ems and MOSES, and is, of course, very
scanty at first. These plants on dy-
ing become part Of the soil, all OF
the plant nutrients used by them be-
ing thus returned.
Food that has once been used by
plants is very readily made available
to succeeding crops through the pro-
cess of decay. The soil is now able
to produce a larger crop, as it con-
tains the plant food in the previous
growth in addition to that added
through the agencies detailed above.
In this way the growth gradually be-
comes more abundant. The plants up
on decaying give rise to humus, and
this increases the fertility of the land
both by being a source of plant food
and by increasing the water-retaining
power. Humus is a very important
factor in fertility. During the de-
composition of the plants, acid sub

DAIRY LESSONS
AT STATE FAIR
Care Taken By Operator An
Ha ding Mir to Prevent
Contamination Was Reye1a.
ton to Spectators.
By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)

One of the most practical lessons of
by the state agricultural college which
had set up in an amphitheater hold
ing about 1000 persons, a complete
modern dairy. In this dairy all the
operations of separating milk, testing
it with the Babcock tester and making
butter were performed daily and the
amphitheater was never large enough
to hold the interested crowds.
The care taken by the operator to
prevent contamination of milk and
butter was evidently revelation to
many of the farmers and their wives,
as EXPLANATIONS of surprise were fre-
quently heard when the utensils were
washed and scrubbed again and again,
plunged into hot water and the whole
process of butter making gone
through without once having been
touched by human hand.
The spectators were for the most
part composed of practical dairy
workers more or less versed in their
business. They asked innumerable
questions upon every phase of dairy
ing, often showing almost perfect
knowledge of the business; but the
operator in charge, a remarkably well
informed and alert young man, never
failed to give instant and satisfactory
reply.
i. Two demonstrations daily were
made in this dairy and during the five
days Of the fair it is safe to say that
10000 persons received valuable in
struction in the way of object lessons
in good dairying.

Natures method of increasing the
humus and soil fertility. Notice the
rotten log and leaves decaying, thus
returning plant food to the soil.
stances are formed which act upon
the rocks in such a way as to make
more of the plant food available.
One of the products of decay or
fermentation is carbonic acid gas, and
this is dissolved in the soil water, and
this gas-containing water is an i'm
portant help in disintegrating the
rocks.
AS the nutritive materials increase
from these vari0als causes the lower
simpler forms of plant life are grad
ually replaced by those which are
more highly organized.
With the advent Of plants, like our
common crops, which bear roots,
other factors in the formation of soils
are introduced. The roots secrete an
acid substance that has a solvent
effect on the mineral matter of the
soil, and the roots themselves also
assist mechanically in breaking down
the rocks.
All are familiar with the tremend-
Gus force exerted by plants in break
ing apart rocks and stones If once
their tender rootlets obtain foothold
in crevice.
The roots penetrate the soil some
times to great depths, and, as they
decay after the death of the plant,
they leave little channels in the soil
which serve to carry down water
laden with carbonic acid, as well as
to introduce the oxygen of the air,
that, in it's turn, Is factor in bring
ing about chemical changes in the
soil, which assist in making plant
food available.
Sooner or later in the process of
soil formation, plants of the pulse
family Qeguminous plants), such as
clover, vetches, lupines, etc., are in
troduced
If you dig up some of these plants
you will find little nodules or tuber-
cles on their roots. These nodules
are the homes of numerous bacteria,
which enable the plants to derive part
of their food from the nitrogen Of
the atmosphere.
This peculiar property Of legumi-
nous plants is of great Importance,
for it is undoubtedly natures prin-
cipal method of Increasing the supply
Of nitrogen in the ground.

for the guard bars D. These should
be securely nailed to the side of the
trough in the pig house, spiked to the
floor to prevent breaking off. The
upright E, firmly spiked to B, secures
endWise rigidity. For delivering slop
to the trough, spout or small trough
is arranged to enter at the end of
the feed trough. With this arrange
ment, when the distance between the
bars has been properly adjusted to the
size OF the animal, only one can get to
the trough between each space, and
all sidewise crowding is prevented.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-05-24

To prevent hogs getting their feet
into trough the arrangement shown
above is effective. The width of the
side boards depend upon the size Of
the pigs to be fed. A small trough,
with six inch side boards, may be used
for the small pigs, and u to 16 inch
stuff for breeding sows. The size of
pieces C and D depend upon the
weight of the animals and the strain
likely to come on the frame. For pigs
of ordinary weight, a piece by inch
es should be used for the ridge pole

teacher is teacher who knows how
to do old things in new ways. The
spirit does not come to U.S. We must
