"Eriend of Good Crops.

According to Farm and Fireside,.
the researches of the bureau of soil
of the department of agriculture are
throwing much light on the nature
and composition of soil For example,
one compound which has lately been
found in the soil and is a friend of
good crops is Known as creatinine.
All these discoveries lead to the belief
that when the researches OF soil
chemistry now going on are completed
the business of applying fertilizers
will be revolutionized.

this is conceded by an. So with the

has been denounced. and With so much

other way, so to speak, and too much

it holds moisture. which is necessarily
condensed at night, making the air
both cold and wet. Better use cloth
