the proportionate area of hay and for

ton to that. the percentage Of the total
area which is planted to root crops is
enormously greater in Germany than
In the United States. These root crops
consist largely of potatoes and sugar
beets. and the best German anthOri-
ties estimate that at least one-third OF
the products of the area of these two
crops is available for stock feed. They
also estimate that one-third of the
products of the area devoted to cereals
is devoted to the feeding OF domestic
animals. Germany therefore devotes
very much more of her soil to the pro

does the United States.

ANIMALS WITH GOLDEN HOOFS"-SHEEP
MAKE THE SOIL FERTILE
only that, the United States exports
vast quantities of cottonseed meal. lin.
seed oiImeal and other rich heterogeneous
feeding stuffs, while Germany imports
vast quantities of these materials Ger.
man farmers not only conserve their
own natural resources. but they draw
on other parts of the world to main
tain the fertility of their lands. Amer
lea has been mining her soil and ship
ping the products to Europe. In addi-
ton to the sources of fertility above
given. Germany uses annually OH her
soil $4,000 tones of nitrate of soda.
275.0OO tons of sulphate of ammonia.
100000 tons of superphosphate and
100000 tons of basic Stag in addition
to large amounts of potash salts.
We are now confronted by the same
necessities that compelled the adoption
of sound systems of agriculture in the
old world. How shall we meet this
problem?
The Solution Of the ProsIem.
In the first place. we must increase
the number of domestic animals on
our farms. Where land is farlned by
renters the leases must be made for
longer terms, and where the renter has
not the capital to provide the proper
number Of domestic animals these
must be supplied by the landowner
The effect Of live stock on the fertility
of the soil needs no demonstration. It
is we'll known to every intelligent
farmer. Up to the present time. at
least, no system of agriculture has been
permanently profitable without the use
of domestic animals as means Of
maintaining the productiveness of the
soil. Whether such systems are posi-
BILE remains to be seen.
In addition to increasing the number
of domestic animals on American farms
our farmers must pay more attention
to leguminous crops and to other crops
which provide supply Of humus for
the soil. Legumes. such as clover.
peas. alfalfa. ETC.. are especially i'm
portant because of the fact that with
the aid of certain soil bacteria they are
able to draw their supply Of nitrogen
from the air. Having thus an unlimit-
ed supply Of this valuable plant food
constituent, they become very rich in
nitrogen. The stubble and roots Of a

 The Indians are fortifying on a high table moontain, the sum- init of which is approachable by only one tortuous road.
 Agent w. T. Shelton is at the agency awaiting the arrival of the troop.
 Marshal Hudspeth, after sur veying the position of the In- dians, returned to Santa Fe with three of the original eleven re- negades he was sent ten days ago to arrest. The eight other escaped and rallied their tribe to their defense before the marshal reached the agency.
 The request for troops was made afteria conference between Indian Agents Shelton, Parquet and Major J. T. Mclaughlin, after the Navajos had send word that the renegades would not be given up and that they would not only resist arrest but if attacked would fight, burn the agency and kill those in charge.
 An Investigation by the mar shal and the Indian agents show ed that the Indians surrounding the renegade leaders had round. ed up their cattle and sheep. har- vested their corn and otherwise made ready for siege
