@HE next day was Sunday.
Tom Weston was red eyed
~ and surly from the effects Of
~ the liquor he had drunk the
night before with Jim Sullivan and
moped about the house, snarling and
swapping at his wife and little Annie
and Joe.
As soon as breakfast was finished
Joe took his precious volume about
agriculture and slipped OF to a shell
tered nook behind the barn. He pored
over it until dinner time; then he closed
his eyes and reviewed In his mind the
essential points of what he had read.
First Of all. that plants must have
food, just as human being do; that lack
of enough food or proper food made
puny plants, just as it does with peo-
pie; that the principal source Of food
for plants is the humus or ~decaying
vegetable matter in the soil. From
this largely ONE the nitrogen. the
p~hOsphOric acid. the potash and 9th
er essentials 10 plant life. absorbed
through the thousands Of tiny roots Of
the growing plant above.
Also. he learned that the soil becomes
barren and exhausted and devoid OF
these essentials with continued cult.
walton; that the crop takes these nee
essary things from the soil year by
year, and something must be put back
into the land or it will become sterile.
The wise provisions OF nature are
seen" said the book, lin the annual re
newal OF the soil. The grass. weeds.
trees. shrubs. all take from the soil in
the summer. but they pay back the
debt with interest In autumn, when the
grass dies and the leaves fall to the
ground. They are beaten into the soil
by the winter rains and by the next
summer have decayed and nave given
more TO the land than the plants that
bore them have taken away"
And | never knew before" said Joe
to himself. what makes newly clear
ed ground so rich and give such large
crops. or course it Is the humus from
the leaves that have been dropping all
the years"
After dinner he began to devour the
book again. BY dusk he knew that. In
order TO get the largest amount Of
plant food to the plants to fatten them.
as it were, a deep blowing or breaking
and loosening OF the soil was essential
until It was light and mellow. This

An old Chinese scholar came for
treatment TO a hospital that was under
the charge OF a certain DR.. Woods.
The doctor asked the new patient his
honorable name. The old gentleman
replied that his unworthy name was
Ling and added that he desired TO
know the doctors exalted name. With
a smile. the doctor said that his mean
name was Ling (which is Chinese for
Woods.
"Whyt' exclaimed the Chinaman
with feryor. The same name. Now |
