training in the Homestead Steel
Works of Pittsburgh, and with the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, going

ing a reputation in railroad cir
cles for efficient construction
work.

IMPROVING THE SOIL.
Dairyins conservss Fertility Better
Than Any Other Type Of FARMING.

Dairyine conservss Fertility Better
Than Any Other Type Of Farming.
Farms use.i for dairy purposes
should gain rather than lose In fertili-
ty. asserts r. l. Throckmorton, as
sistant professor Of soils in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
In dairying less plant food is sold
from the farm than in any other type
of farming. In grain farming the land
is cropped year after year, and the
products are sold off the land. In dairy
farming the crops are harvested and
fed to animals.
When grain or other crops are sold
food is removed. No soil can grow
crops year after year without sooner or
later reaching the point where deple-
tion is felt.
When animals or milk products are
sold only small portion of the plant
food of the crop is removed from the
farm. The greater part of it is left in
the form Of barnyard manure, which
may be returned to the soil. This is
clear when one considers the TACT that
a ton of milk contains $2.09 worth of
plant food. while a ton of alfalfa con-
tains $3.50 worth Of plant food.
With this system farming large
variety Of crops be profitably
grown and utilized. u h crops as al
falfa and clover for hay. corn and sor-
ghums for silage and rye as soiling
crop may be grown. With these crops
1t is possible to practice rotation In
which legume is grown, thus increas-
ing the supply Of nitrogen in the soil.
This is important, as the failure to IN
clude a leguminous crop in the rota-
ton Is one OF the common causes Of
soil depletion. The nitrogen content OF
the soil is also increased when alfalfa
Is fed and the manure is applied to the
land.

Dear Father:
Just landed in Liver
pool after quite an exciting voy.
age, We left New York. July
18th, and had quite a pleasant
trip until yesterday-north of the
Irish coast where We were attack
ed by two submarines; one tor.
pedo just missed US by twenty
feet. | did not see it until after
it had passed on. The captain Of
the ship certainly used his good
judgement in lodging. We took
three shots with four inch guns at
the ''sub' but do not think they
were hit, tho We succeeded in
driving them away.
| do not know where | am 90.
ing or what l am going to do, but
think that l am going to be as.
signed to the q. m. depot-same
work as at Fort Sam Houston, as
indications according to list of
names made, seem to indicate.
If you will address me for the
present care "Americau Expedi.
tionary Forces, q. m. c., Paris,
France" will get letter, but of
course all mail is going to be de-
layed on account of censorship.
etc. Write again as soon as l
get located.
Your son,
W. M. Babington.
