tors in gathering nitrogen from the air

The organic matter supply may be kept
up by sacrificing an entire crop as green
manure which usually is not the most
profitable or by blowing down the second
growth of clover or any other crop grown
after one crop has been taken off. The
latter method should be supplemented
with the application of well preserved
manure. BY feeding all hay produced
and using all straw for bedding, it is SAID
that there is sufficient phosphorus in the
soil to last over 100 years and potash
enough to last 5000 years. BY selling all
the hay and straw. these elements would
be exhausted beyond the point of profit

AS a means of bringing out this re-

factor. 1t aids drainage. deepens the soil
reservoir for water, promotes bacterial

Private and Special laws of 1915, and

authority to mortgage its properties
and franchises to the Union Safe De-
post and Trust Company. trustee, to
secure bonds, dated December /, 1915,
payable December 1, 1885, to the ag-
gregate amount of s25.000.000. and to
secure. in accordance with the con-
tract under which they We're issued
$4,000, 900 face value five per cent cou-
pom notes dated May l. 1914, and due
May l, 1919. These notes were call
able. and the stock holders have voted
to call them on the next interest date,
May l, 1916.
This mortgage provides cart. II,
Sec. y that s6,000.o0O of said bonds
are reserved and shall be issued only
for the payment of said notes; except
that if any of the bonds so reserved
shall be unissued when the notes are
paid. they may be used for other pur-
poses. 1t is now proposed to issue
this block Of bonds for the payment of
these notes: and the proposed action
does not contemplate any increase in
the outstanding securities Of the
Maine Central Railroad Company.
"On the contrary. it retires like
amount of Indebtedness now outstand-
ing and secured by the mortgage; it
reduces the interest rate from five
per cent to 4.57 basis, and it dilnin-
iShes by the amount Of this issue the
maximum amount of bonds which the
company might. under the most favor
able circumstances, issue under its
mortgage. This last fact is not of great
Importance because the mortgage and
the law of the State properly safe
guard future issues. We speak OF
these matters here only to emphasize
the fact that his action does not mean
an increase of the company's outstand-
ing securities. 1t converts the debt
evidenced by those notes into one with
much longer time to run, but we are
not prepared to say that the. present
may not be a better time to refund
such a debt that may reasonably be
counted upon during the next three
years.
Now. therefore. after public notice
and proof thereof and public hearing

We believe that every farm is entitled
to own good farmer, that it is the bust
ness Of good farmers to consume as
much fertility as possible. which is to
say: that he should raise big crops, the
bigger the crops the more fertility used;
and at the same time. keep up or increase
the fertility to further increase the crop
yield.
The elements Of fertility are not mex
haustible and when used or wasted. must
be replaced or new ones made available
from the more insoluble rock fragments
of the soil. The soil is composed of moro
or less weathered rock fragments mixed
with the organic remains of plants and
animals. 1t took nature thousands and
thousands of years to do this mixing
and weatherng and man has no moral
right in his brief stay here to destroy it
or leave it in any worse condition than
he found it. His methods must be con-
structive and build up rather than tear
down. The material out Of which he
must build, are the elements out of which
the plant is made, namely, nitrogen.
phosphorus. potassium, iron and others.

Profitable farming depends upon tho
number of times the elements of fertility
can be made to go the rounds without
loss. and drawing on the reserve store
of the soil in each round to make up for
what is necessarily lost. The key to
this reserve store is Humus. Humus
