"The Silent Victory"

London, Aug. 12-Two salient polntS

war. The first and most striking ID
what is described here as The 81

fact that the North Sea, over which
almost absolute silence has brooded
so long, is now open to England
This, in the opinion OF the authoriI
ties here, implies that the German
fleet, for the time being, Is safely
held in check.
The second point is that the French
have been obliged to eyacuate MulI
hansen and occupy new positions out
side the town.

2. Because the great majority OF
women do not want pockets. II they
did, they would have them.
3. Because whenever women have
had pockets they have not used them.
4. Because women are expected to
carry enough things as It Is without
the additional burden Of pockets.
5. Because II would make dissension
between husband and wife as to whose
pockets were to be filled.
8. Because 1t would destroy mans
chivalry toward woman II he did not
have to carry all her things In his
pockets.
z. Because men are men and women

This story of thrush that missed,
and caught its train comes from Lima
vady, in Ulster. Ireland. The bird had
built its nest under first-class car
rage immediately over the steam heat
ing pipe, and Notwithstanding that the
carriage travelled between Limavady
and Londonderry. the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution Of the summer serv-
ice of trains caused trouble. The car
lriage left Londonderry in the evening
at 4:40 instead of 4:50, and when the
mother thrush. who had presumably
been on a foraging expedition, re-
turned, she found carriage, nest and
eggs had disappeared. She was no.
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and the station master apprised
Limavady Of the circumstances and
asked the railway people there to look
'out for the bird, suggesting that she
would probably arrive by the next
train. The bird duly arrived at Lima
vady either by train or air and re-
eumed her task Of Matching the eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
have decided to withdraw the carriage
from service pending the Matching of
the eggs.

MAKE SUCCESS IN ORCHARDS
Much Depends on Good Cultivation
and Proper Handling Of Soil
Oxygen Is Necessary.

To no small degree the success Of
orcharding depends upon good Guilt
walton and proper handling Of the soil.
To have healthy plant growth, GER
tain amount of oxygen must be In the
soil. This oxygen Is formed In the air.
Again, good preparation should deepen
the soil, increasing the feeding sur
face, all the more encouraging roots
to strike deeply and bringing the
moisture up from the water table.
BY having the soil particles small the
water is enabled to rise. Thus, In the
feeding area Of the soil we have set
more plant food free and we also have
plenty of moisture. These two points
are very essential, as the only way
plant food can enter the roots is In
the form of solution. Water must
be present. This solution entering the
roots rises to the leaves, where the
food is retained for future use and the
water is given of. The more moist.
ure that enters the plant, the more
food is deposited.
In summer our object Is to pulverize
two or three inches on the surface
as finely as possible to prevent the
moisture from evaporating from the
soil. The nearer we bring the top
soil to the condition OF road dust the
better will be our results. The fine
soil prevents the water from passing
through It. II we stopped with the
spring cultivation, the soil after each
rain would bake the crust and It would
crack open, letting out the moisture.
Summer cultivation also keeps down
the weeds, and this Is well worth
while, as weeds pump out an enor-
nous amount of water from the soil.

later they will become Improbable,
as 1t is impossible for them to obtain
the maximum development In such
soils.
The question: Is sometimes asked,
What is meant by good soil?" From
the chemical point of view we would
make the following classification:
Poor soils contain about .15 per cent
of potash, .05 per cent phosphoric
acid, 2 per cent lime, .05 per cent
nitrogen. Productive soils: rs per
cent potash. 4 per cent phosphoric
acid, s. per cent lime. L per cent nj
trogen. Excellent soils: .35 per cent
potash, .25 per cent phosphoric acid.
10 per cent lime, 2 per cent nitrogen.
From the physical point of view It is
harder to say what constitutes the
best soil, but there are certain proper
ties that we find desirable. First, 1t
should be deep, the deeper the better.
1t should contain enough sand and
gravel 10 allow one to till 1t easily. It
should have good drainage. 1t should
contain enough clay to make It a good
moisture and plant-food retainer, and
should contain at least two per cent
humus.
