One of the most practical lessons of
our state fair this fall was that taught
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
1t 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 Capitalization of milk and
butter was evidently a revelation to
many of the farmers and their wives,

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 we'll
informed and alert young man. never
failed to give instant and satisfactory
reply.
Two demonstrations daily were
made in this dairy and during the FIVE
days of the fair 1t is safe to say that
10000 persons received valuable in
struction in the way of object lessons
in good dairying.

There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys.
The first is through the pains in the bscl,
and other outward signs. The second IL
by examination Of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such q
careful examination when you apply for
insurance, and II there is any sign Of kid
ney trouble you are surely rejected.
Kidney disease is so dangerous that it
is bad mistake to overlook or neglect it,
and If pain in the back, recurring head
aches, or fretful, nervous, tired condition
makes you suspect some kidney trouble,
take the trouble to watch the kidney score
tions. Look for any of the following
signs:
More or less than three and one half
pints passed daily.
Too dark or too pale . color.
PassaGes too frequent. profuse. or much
reduced. or scaldine and painful.
Sandy. 6ritty or cloudy settings.
Fat or oily-lookins layer which aathers
or telly-like thickenins.
Staining OF the linen or bad odor.
Temporary changes may occur for time
from things eaten, but if the changed ap-
pearance continues, your kidneys are out
of order and need help. Neglect may prove
serious.

VARIOUS AGENCIES CONCERNED
IN FORMATION OF THE SOIL
Two Suggested Farmer Prevent Exhaustion
FertiIity-First Is to Assist Nature by Means
of Second Use Of
Fertilizers.

1t 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.
8 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 end carries away
the debris, depositing 1t at various
distances from its source.
This study of the formation of the
coil 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 lich-
ems and mosses, and is. Of course, very
scanty at first. These plants on dy-
ing become a 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 very important
factor In fertility. During the de-

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 various 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 solvent
Z effect on the mineral matter Of the
soil, and the roots themselves also
SBist mechanically in breaking down
the rocks.
All are familiar with the tremend-
GUS force exerted by plants in break
ing apart rocks and stones II once
their tender rootlets obtain a foothold
in a 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 Its 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.
