from the state by failing to comply
with the highway law.
This year but two villages have
thus far complied with the law-Ben-

hoped not a village will neglect TO
secure its state money this year.

No industry is so vital to the we'll
being of a nation as agriculture, and
nothing Is so vital to agriculture a.
the soil. From it's treasury 1t has been
estimated that we drew during the
past year more than $S,2S6,OOO,00 O'
and its possibilities are as yet only
partially realized. There are still IN
this country millions Of acres when

which are now under cultivation can
by the application Of scientific prih-
ciples be made to produce many times
the present value of their products.
How to use and not abuse this great
resource is the most important prob
lem which faces the farmer Of today
one worthy of the best efforts Of our
most profound and learned scientists,
for upon its solution depends the fu-
ture prosperity of the nation.
The old idea of soil investigation
was to collect samples, examine them
in the laboratory. and see what diff
ferences could there be determined;
the newer idea is to study the charac-
teristics and properties Of soils in the
field. classify them according to
obvious differences, and, with this in

Of such variations as cannot be deter
mined in the field. This method OF
attacking soil problems Is the reverse
of the usual practice, but because OF
the great difficulty in duplicating field
conditions. it is believed that a field
examination should precede laboratory
studies. The field observations can
thus be used as a check upon labora-
tory investigation and as an aid IN
their Interpretation. Field studies
furnish a safe and necessary anchor
with which to keep the laboratory ex-
perimenter from being dashed against
the rock Of pure speculation The
classifying and mapping Of the various
soil types, together with the study of
the conditions and processes under
which they have been formed will
furnish essential and invaluable data
for the conduct Of laboratory investi-
cations. Natures great laboratory is

70 Fowls need a chance to wallow in
the dirt in order to free their bodies
Of scales and lice. Without this, their
bodies become covered with broken
down scales which, together, with lice,
cause intense itching. In the winter a
dust bath usually has to be provided
inside Of the poultry house and should
be near an open window. so that the
sun shines on 1t during a part Of the
day. For this purpose a common box
filled with fine sand, to which has been
added little insect powder, is quite
effective. Sifted coal ashes and road
dust, ETC., also make effective dust
baths. In house which has a good
dry sand floor, or In a cement floored
house, where the floor is covered with
three or four inches Of fine sand,
dust bath Is seldom needed, as the
hens will wallow in the sand on the
floor.

STUDY Of The SOILS

CARDS both its inorganic and organic
constituents, marked differences in
character must necessarily result from
the almost indefinite number Of COM
binations which may be found. All
these differences, however, may be
traced to two sets of factors. First,
the character Of the rock or material
from which the soil has been derived;
and, second, the processes or agencies
by means Of which this material has
been changed from mere rock or rock
debris into a medium suitable for the
growth of plants. The former has 70
do with soil-forming material, the lat
ter with soil-forming agencies. To
these two groups Of factors are to be
attributed the numerous variations in
soil conditions found over various
parts of the earth.
The Importance of distinguishing
between these two groups of factors
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
The tendency in the past has been to
stress the former to the neglect of the
latter, and this has resulted in classi-
flying together soils of very dissimilar
character, simply because they were
derived from the same rocks or from
rocks which have been formed in the
same manner. ..r-,...

water. Plants require a moist SOIL
but cannot grow in saturated soil
where roots come in contact with
standing water below the water table.
Plants obtain their moisture almost
entirely from capillary water, that is,
the water which is held in the small
openings between soil grains as oil in
wick. Since capillary water is only
available in the unsaturated soil above
the water table, drainage, by lowering
the water table, makes room for more
capillary water, thus increasing the
supply of water available to plant
roots. and making possible the storage
of large quantities of moisture during
a wet season against the time Of
droughts. With drainage comes also
the more favorable condition for the
formation of mulches and consequent
prevention of waste of moisture by
surface evaporation.
BY the downward percolation Of
water toward the drains, the plant
food, Of the fine surface soil and the
manures, Is carried downward to be-
come thoroughly Incorporated in the
soil, rather than to be washed away by
surface overflow. Moreover, the deep
ening of the soil increases it's capacity
for water, and prevents the overflow
which washes away the saturated,
muddy top soil.
Vegetation can use only plant food
Of finely powdered soil easily soluble
in water. The passage Of air and heat
into and through the soil, made pos
sible by the removal of the standing
water, and the interchange Of air
through the soil between the bodies
of air in the tile and the air above the
soil, disintegrates the soil particles
hitherto unavailab BILE to plants, and pro-
duces that fine, crumbling, workable
condition Of the soil known as fine
texture, in which is found the maxi
mum amount Of soluble plant food and
the most favorable conditions for plant
growth. The toughest clay soils are
in this way made friable, responding
with increased crops. The increase Of
heat and air provides favorable condi-
tons for the increase In the numbers
and activity Of bacteria, the minute
plants whose function it is to set free
plant food and change the form Of the
constituents Of soil into a food for
plants. Moreover, the constant pass
age of surface water into soil carries
in chemicals which act vigorously to
set free plant food bound in various
