THE IMPORTANCE OF
HUMUS.
What Is Humus and Why Needed.
w. II. STEVENSON,


Iowa State Agri Experiment Station.
All soils that are really productive con-
tain decayIng roots, leaves and animal
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 well supplied with
humus
Humus has many functions in soils. IT
makes heavy soils open and porous, and
this promotes aeratlon Clay soils are
especially benefited from the standpoint
Of these changes. 1t Increases 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
liberates carbonic acid gas. This acts on
the minerals OF the soils and liberates at
least a small portion Of the plant food
which they contain. AS n rule dark
colored soils contain a considerable
amount Of humus and are fertile
PLANTS SUPPLEMENT MANURES.
If there were an abundance Of ma
nure on all farms, the problem Of keep
Ing soils supplied with organic matter
ANA humus would he easily solved.
All that would he required would be
the application Of the manure to keep
all the land supplied with organic mat
ter. But there viii 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 pl.sl.t.

KIND ana in the right quantities and
protection from weather accidents and
natural enemies.
The first three or four weeks are the
critical periods and protection is very
necessary, embracing as it does the
safeguarding against ovcrheating, cold
and storms, rats. cats weasels, hawks
and such accidents rs drowning, smok-
ing lamps and pugnacious mothers.
If the chicks are to be reared by
hens provide large, safe coops with
board floors and weather tight roofs
and sides. Allow room enough for the
mother to have an outdoor run, where
she may dust herself and exercise
properly. Don't be afraid of using dis
infectants in and about the coops and
breeders; also be keenly on the look
out for head lice, for these little pests
will fasten on the heads of the chicks
and gradually suck their blood until
they die. Another ailment common
among flocks of young chickens is leg
weakness. which Is chiefly caused by
using feed lacking in proper bone and
animal matter and too CLOSE contine-
ment in ovcrheated breeders.

There is also another disease the

Look for nattoned circular scale about
the size OF the head OF pin. The color

be DISTINGUISHED a small nipple. The null
tiplying powers OF the San Jose scale are
enormous. They lie fiat against the bark,
skin OF fruit or leaves OF trees and rapid
~ cover the entire plant with a contin-
uous layer Of minute scales. Each scale
sucks sap through a tiny beak. Fruit and
scales cannot grow on the same tree.
Young trees succumb. The san Jose scale
IS especially fond of the peach, currant,
plum, pear and apple.
Hopelessly infested trees should be cut
down and burned completely. A very ef-

nights Now for the fowls. that extra
cover" can be had in suspendng cur
tain in front OF the roost at night. This
curtain can be made Of ordinary baggng
or burlap. Tack one end to the ceiling,
ana in daytime roll it up. At night,
after the fowls have gone to roost, let
the curtain drop down. 1t should be long
enough to reach to about a foot from
the ground. 1t also should be hung so
that 1t will be a foot away from the roost.
This will give ample space for the fowls
to jump down the first thing in the morn
ing. This curtain Arrangement will mean
a great prevention from frosted combs
and wattles.
Summer and winter 1t is best TO feed the
mash food indoors. This, of course, should
be fed in troughs and afcer the fowls
have finished their meal this trough should
be gotten out Of the way, or the fowls
will roost on 1t and get It befouled. The
writer has found the N-shaped troughs
the best, and in the end of the trough, on
one of the sides, he fastens a hook. After
the fowls have finished the trough is then
fastened to the wall-the hook being in
serted in an eye that has been fastened to
the wall, In this way the fowls have more
room, and the trough is kept clean.
Hundreds OF little wrinkles similar to
these given, will crop up In a poultry
mans experience. which will save both
time and money, and 1t is worth While for
every one to study up devices that will
not only make the work more easy, but
