French Women LAWYERS.

Mdlle. Verone, who with Mdlle
Grumberg is to assist in the defense
of Nine. Caillaux, has the largest prac-
tise OF any of the woman advocates
admitted to the Paris bar, having been
notably successful when in the de-
tense in criminal cases. She has out
stripped the senior advocate" Mdlle
Chauvin, whose appearances in the
courts are now few and far between
The latter won her doctorship OF laws
so far back az 1892 with a thesis on
the subject, Professions Accessible to
Women" After five years as a pro-
lessor. Mdlle. Chauvin determined to
become a barrister. Her application
was strongly contested. but the judges
decided that the law was on her side
and she was duly sworn in in 1897,
being the first woman admitted to the
bar in Europe.

WHAT is HUMUS
AND WHY NEEDED
Dark Colored Soils Contain Con-
siderable Amount of Organic
Matter and Are Fertile.

CBy w II. STEVENSON. Iowa State Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station. Copy
right. l9l4)
All soils that are really productive
Contain decaying roots. leaves and ami
NAL life. We call this partly decayed
organic matter humus. This material
is the life OF the soil. 1t is impossible
to grow good crops unless the soil is
we'll supplied with humus.
Humus has many functions in soils.
1t makes heavy soils open and porous.
and this promotes aeration. Clay soils
are especially benefited from the
standpoint of these changes 1t in
creases the water-holding power and
thus is an important factor in making
sandy soils productive. 1t supplies the
bacteria of the soil with food. These
bacteria are indispensable because
some Of them make the nitrogen of
the soil available for plants. while
others fix atmospheric nitrogen in the
soil and render it available as a plant
food. Humus gradually decays and lib
crates carbonic acid gas. This acts on
the minerals Of the soil and liberates
at least n small portion of the plant
food which they contain. AS rule.
dark-colored soils contain a considera-
BILE amount OF humus and are fertile.
If there were an abundance OF ma
nure on all farms. the problem of keep
ing soils supplied with organic matter
and humus would be easily solved All
that would be required would be the
application of the manure to keep all
the land supplied with organic mat
ter. But there will never be enough
of this material because all of the soil
| products OF the farm cannot be fed to
animals. The human race must have
other food than milk and meat There
sore we must depend upon plants 20
| supplement manures and furnish an
adequate supply OF humus. In some
cases we may use only their roots and
stubble; often the entire plant will be
plowed under.

MIR. KNOCKS Error.

Ex-Secretary Knox argues at length
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty does
not forbid the exemption of a part or
whole OF our vessels from the tolls
at the canal. We think he is decidedly
mistaken. The history of the subject
shows that the equal right of Great
Britain in commerce across the 18th.
mus had been recognized in the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. The later instru-
ment released us from all the restric-
tons of tina. treaty except that our
vessels passing through the canal
should pay the same tolls as those OF
other nations.
But we regard this as a minor part
of the case. We have erected at Pan
anna a costly work of which the whole
revenue will for many years be in
adequate to pay expenses. To sub
tract from its revenues u large sum
each year, to give to an element OF
our shipping that is absolutely freed
from foreign competition is an act that
is difficult to describe in courteous
terms. The United States should not
do such a thing II IT were expressly
authorized By the treaty.-Pittsburgh

question of wooden clothes. 1t was

We were told, as the New York Eve

the cloth is such an inappreciable part
of the cost of the suit. that the saving
or account OF the lower tariff was
hardly worth considering. The Post

Customers will find a saving any

USE OF LIME TO
REMEDY ACIDITY
Best Test of Soils Can Be Made
With Blue Litmus Paper-A
Few Suggestions.

(By GEORGE III. DACY. Copyrfght. 1914
Sour soils spell poor crops. so poor
crops mean less to eat and wear for
the farmer. Therefore every farmer
should play detective and seek out soils
on his farm that are acid and reform
them by the use of lime, which neu-
tralizes the acidity. The chief handi-
cap experienced by the farm with an
acid soil is that the culture Of clovers
and similar legumes is prohibited by
the fact that the nitrogen-1xing bac-
terra which inhabit the nodules on
roots OF the clovers abhor an acid or
sour soil. and clay loan soils that are
deficient in organic matter are espe-
cially prone to acldity
The farmer desiring to locate sour
soil on his farm should purchase about
five cents worth of blue litmus paper
at the local drug store. AS soon as pos
sible after a rainstorm, when the sur
face soil is still moist. he should 20
out into the field and with his Jack
knife cut slit in the earth into which
he should insert the litmus paper He
should then pack the soil firmly about
the indicator paper and allow it to re-
main in place for about five minutes !;
then he should remove the earth and
examine the paper, which, If 1t has
turned red or pink. indicates the soil is
acid. The farmer must be careful in
handling the test paper, as perspira.

applied In correct manner.
Farmers lose from $50 to $500
per hundredweight by not docking
and castrating their lambs. Stag NUT
ton has peculiar taste. and is un.
desirable; packers do not like to han.
die them, and for this reason cut
prices heavily.
Lambs should not be locked and
castrated at one operation. Castrate
when about week old, and six or
seven days later dock by using the hot
pinchers. Do the castrating on a
clear. bright morning.
At IL to Ia days the lamb begins Ia
eat with its mother at the feed-trough
Creeps should then be constructed
and the little fellows fed on the fol.
lowing rations:
Two parts bran. one part fine corn
meal. one part crushed oats. one half
part oil meal. Bright clover or al
falfa hay should be fed in separate
trough. What the lambs will not eat
clean. may be given to the older sheep
at night.

FACTS AND FIGURES
First Six Months Under the Viii
son Tariff.
Comparisons Between That Period and
for the Same Period Last Year
Are Hardly Fair. for OBJ
Vlous Reasons.

The Republican press, in reviewing
the first six months of the Wilson tar
IN. finds four facts: First, an Increase
in imports of manufactures; second.
slowing down of our own factories.
third. falling off OF the exports of do
mestic manufactures: fourth, u de-
crease in revenues. These are the
facts. What are the figures?
The treasury departments state
ment covering the first six months
operation OF the tariff law, October 1
to April L. shows that imports of fin-
fshed manufactures amounted to $685.
100000. as against S215,000,000 for the
same period last year. This is an in
crease OF $13,000,000. The same state
ment further shows that the value OF
manufacturers material amounted to
$469 zoo, 900, as against $517 900 900 for
the same period last year. This is a
loss OF $4S.000,000. On the other hand.
the statement reports the value OF
manufactures exported to be $541 ,000,-
600. as against 1882. 100000 last year,
a loss of $41,0OOOOO The receipts
from customs were $140,000,000. as
against $165,O0O,O00.
The figures support the facts, but
not to the degree that one might ex-
pect them to; and after ALL it is a
question whether or not the compari-
son is a fair one. as both import and
export trade for the six months pre-
ceding inauguration of the Wilson tar
in exhibited returns which indicated
that importers and exporters delayed
trade in order to take advantage of
the new schedules. A comparison be-
tween the figures OF whole year peri
DDS may be more satisfactory.
