HuMUS AND SOIL FERTILITY
Deesyed Vegetable Matter is Very
Important Constituent in Rem
dering Soils Fertile.

Humus is decayed vegetable matter
in the soil and is a very important
constituent in rendering soils fertile.
There are a number of reasons for
this, prominent among which are the
following: First, the organic matter
contains the essential plant food ele-
ments and as 1t decays these elements
are changed into forms available to
plants. In other words, the plant food
Is put in condition to be used again.
Second, as the organic matter decays
certain acids are produced and these,
acting upon the insoluble mineral con-
stituents in the soil. dissolve and rem
der them available to plants. Third,
many of the changes in the soil are
brought about by bacterial action, and
decaying organic matter furnishes
food for the bacteria so they can grow
and multiply and thus render more
mineral plant food elements soluble
in the soil water. Plants cannot take
up solid foods from the soil; before
they can appropriate food it must first
be gotten in solution like sugar goes
into solution when put into water
Then there are other ways In which
humus benefits the soil 1t renders the
soil dark in color, and a dark soil abb
serbs more heat than a light colored
one; that is Of considerable advantage
in the early spring A soil filed with
organic matter is also capable of hold
ing more moisture than one that is
deficient in this constituent. In dry
year this may mean the difference be-
tween fair crop and a complete fail
ure.
These being facts, why don't we
pillow under more organic matter? Why
don't we grow more clover or other
legumes which actually draw plant
food-nitrogen-from the air and store
1t up in their tissues later to be con-
verified into plant food in the soil?
Every man should include one or more
legumes in his rotation for soil build
ing purposes and thus maintain the
fertility of his farm.

sweetened warm water and lime wa
ter instead. Let the foal lick oatmeal
as soon as it will eat and gradually
increase the amount and add wheat
bran. In five or six weeks some
sweet skim milk may be given and
the amount gradually increased daily
until, in three months or so, it may
be given freely three times day in
slace of new milk. The foal at this
age also will be eating freely of grass,
grain and bran.
AT all times supply pure cold drink
ing water. Let the foal run out in a
lot or grass paddock for exercise.
Accustom it to be handled daily Feed
small quantities of nutritious food
often, keeping all food vessels clean,
and the foal should thrive and devel-
op well. Remember that colt should
at all times be adequately fed so as
to develop it perfectly. Practically
half of the full weight of a horse is
gained during the first IL months of
its life If stunted during this period
the colt never develops properly; it
therefore pays to feed generously.

Give a little Of this prepared milk at

INDICATIONS OF
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that in few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been a fairly large snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add to the precipitation of
last fall, which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
sure a good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without a crop this year.
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farmers tc seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil of Western Canada,
it is no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultiyated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions OF the agricultural districts Of
Western Canada, and also reports of
small yields in some districts. A good
deal of this Is accounted for from the
fact that notwithstanding the advice
of men Of experience, there are farm.
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared This may be done
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain of a paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices of all kinds of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands Of
acres of land waiting for the husband
man to bring it forth with a crop, it
is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is a con-
sentative estimate of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
of the war. Governments of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities OF
supplies for cash.
The total value of exports to Eu-
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started,
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous
Therefore the results Of the demand
of the allies for war and other material
is beginning to be felt in the financial
life OF the Dominion. There is marked
activity in many commercial lines, and
conditions are fast becoming normal.
Western Canada is receiving rela.
tive benefit to the East-Advertise-
ment.

Unsanitary stock cars are respon-
