Steam for the Soil.

For a year or two past certain grow
ers of tomatoes, cucumbers and SINH
lar vegetables for the London market
have been injecting steam into the soil
with view to destroying insects and
slugs 1t is reported that the plan
works very well for that purpose, but
the operation brought to light an un-
expected fact-namely, that the soil
thus treated increased greatly in fer
tility; so greatly, indeed, that the ordi-
nary amount OF manure cannot be
used afterward.
This effect has been explained as be-
ing due to the sterilization produced
by the steam, which kills the phago-
cytes or protocol which in ordinary
keep down the number
of bacteria in the soil whose opera
lions are benehcent in turning organic
nitrogen into plant food.-Harper's
Weekly.

Her hair was white her face was sad,
Her tears splashed on the green.
Good mother. does your soldier son."
l asked, "ie sleeping here?
Or may he be some other one
That once was near and dearT
Her bunch of lilacs tenderly
She placed above the dead,
And then she turned and gazed at me
A moment ere she said:
He that today lies sleeping here
Is not my lost loved one.
But someone held him near and dear
He was some mothers son."
IF he was not your love, why weep
As you are weeping, pray?
Why linger where he lies asleep,
Why deck his grave today?"
Round yonder cottage, on the HILL"
She said, The used to play;
l often hear his prattle still,
Though he Is far away.
"And 1t was there his father died,
Twas there l nursed him, too;
Twas there my darling left my side
To join the boys in blue.
To-day he lies meath other skies
1 cannot tell you where
And weeds may wave above the grave
That needs his mothers care.
"And he that sleeps so soundly here
Was one who wore the gray,
And she that held him near and dear
May weep for him today"
"And do you deck the grave of one
Who wore the hated gray
Who, haply faced your martyred son
In that unrighteous fray2'
"Ah, he Is sleeping soundly, too!
Who knows? Some other may
Place flowers above my boy in blue,

this plan the exact location of any
