PROPER ENRICHMENT OF SOIL
Farmers Are Realizing Necessity Of
Adequate Fertilization, Rotation
and Thorough Tillaoe.

More attention must be paid TO the
scientific enrichment Of our soil. II
Will not do to take everything of and
put nothing back. Our farmers are
realizing the necessity of proper and
adequate fertilization, of proper rota
ton and thorough filling their fields
In foreign countries-where more at
tention has been given TO soil en-
richment than anywhere else-it has
been demonstrated that the best re
suits are obtained by thoroughly fer
tilizing all the land. This can only
be accomplished by broadcasting the
fertilizers on the land and then work
ing them thoroughly into the soil al
the time the land is prepared for the
seed The main difficulties have been
to get a machine that would scatter
the fertilizers evenly over the ground
no matter what kind of a fertilizer
was sown. The chief obstacle has al.
ways been the fertilizer. Some of 1t
is pasty and sticky, other varieties are
lumpy, and some like powder. The
fertilizer sower to be a success must
be able to successfully handle ali
these various commercial fertilizers

MAN IN HIS EARLIEST DAYS
He Was Inferior to Lowest Type Of
Modern savages and Was a
Cannibal.

In concise summary of what is
now known of the early history of
mankind Professor Voigt has recent
ly stated that there is no longer any
doubt that man existed in Europe
contemporaneously with extinct spe-
cies of the elephant, mammoth, rhi-
noceros and hippotamus; and at the
time when the Straits of Gibraltar,
of Dover and the Dardanelles (as
also the island of Sicily to Africa (,
were still united by isthmuses; when
there was a sea Of ice covering the
whole of the low levels of North
Germany and Russia, when the Sa-
hara desert was covered with water,
and Finland, Norway and Sweden
was an island.
He also maintains that man, in
his earliest conditions, was in a saw
age state, inferior even to the lowest
type of modern tribes in Australia,
Africa or New Guinea, and that they
were cannibals, as well. The civili-
zation of Europe he asserts to have
been derived not from Asia, as gen.
orally supposed, but from Africa /;
the cultivated plants of even the
comparatively modern period of the
Swiss lake dwellings being of Afri-
can, and especially of Egyptian, or
igin.-Harper's Monthly.
