Soil Compost.

Professor Ahearn of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college tells how to prepare
soil compost for growing plants:
"A workable soil may be made from
loan, sand and manure, but it will be
greatly improved If leaf mold or peat
Is added. The best loan for plants is
made Of we'll decayed sod taken from
a pasture. After the grass has been
killed by hard freezes in the fail the
sod should be cut three or four inches
deep and placed in a pile, the grass
side down. For the sake Of conven-
fence make the pile three or four feet
wide and as high and as long as nec-
essary. Hollow out the top so as to
catch the rains. If the year Is a dry
one q garden hose may be used to sup
ply the moisture. In the construction
Of this pile alternate layers Of sod and
manure should be used. This compost
should be allowed to weather for at
least a year, preferably two years, be-
fore being used. When ready to be
used it should be chopped and thor
oughly mixed with well rotted ma
nure."

ORGANIC MATTER. IN SOILS.

Natur6~ Of This Material but Little
Understood.
rFrom annual report, 1914. Of bureau Of
soils.1
Organic matter is essential to make
a soil of what would otherwise be pull,
verified and more or less ~hydrolyzed
rock, and while there are some soils
capable Of growing crops that contain
small quantities Of organic matter, on
the whole the quantity Of this material
In average soils Is considerable. The
average organic contents Of soils
amount to approximately fifty tons
per acre, and yet the nature Of this
material has been but little understood.
It has been believed for many years
that it consisted chiefly of some such
body as humic acid. differing perhaps
in different soils, but having the same
general properties. One prominent
service which these Investigations have
rendered agriculture has been to show
the nonexistence of humic acid and its
hypothetical relatives and to show in
stead the existence Of many compounds
with many relationships.
This line Of research has been espe-
cially profitable during the year just
past, and the number Of compounds iso-
lated and identified has been increased
to more than forty. Some Of these
compounds contain only carbon and
hydrogen; some carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen; some carbon, hydrogen, oxy-
gen and nitrogen; others contain phos-
phorus or sulphur. Isolation in a pure
condition Of these organic constituents
of soils has made possible the correct
Interpretation of the changes that Or
ganic matter undergoes in soils. The
compounds found are recognized as
representing decomposition products Of
fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and 9TH
er classes of natural compounds, and
a great deal Of light is shed thereby
on the processes Of humus formation
and transformation in the soil. These
researches into the nature and proper
ties Of soil organic matter have shown
c~onclusively that the soil Investigator
must take into consideration the pres
ence Of organic compounds lii the soil.

GUESTS ENJOYED A NOVELTY
Presence of Monkeys at Formal Din
ner by Mrs. Loneworth Made
a Decided Gilt"

1t happened that Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, the daughter of former
President Roosevelt, and wife of the
distinguished Ohio representative,
had presented to her among many
hundred other gifts, two little mon
keys, who lost no time in sustaining
their reputation for mischievous an
tics, and kept the Longworth house
hold in a panic as to what was going
to happen next.
They were too nimble and quick
TO be punished for the evil OF their
ways, and so, week in and week out
the monkeys had a lovely time of it.
When Mr. and Mrs Longworth enter
tanned, the little creatures were shut
up behind lock and key, and usually
wore themselves out in their effort to
break through, and went to sleep in
consequence, from sheer exhaustion.
This had always insured the sue
cess of a party, without any disturb
ing Interruptions, until one fateful
night when Mrs. Longworth looked
up to discover monkey grinning at
her from the top of a picture. 1t was
only a second until the other one
climbed up the corner of the cloth,
and snatched a few nuts from some
Of the panic-stricken guests. His
partner in crime leaped from the pic
ture and perched himself upon the
shoulder of a guest, and the details
of what followed are not laid down
in the directions given to polite so
ciety as how to entertain.
But" laughed guest not long
ago, 'T shall never forget how ut
terly funny it was, nor how we all
enjoyed it, just as soon as we were
assured the monkeys would not eat
