RID -SOILS OF POISONOUS MATTER.
13e4ntists tell us that during receat
yeareabonsiderable evidence has been
accuinulated to show that the failure

selves,
It is the belief of these scientifie
men that during the growth of the
plant, certain unknown organic sub-
statices are thrown off which, when
theY gather in the soil to any extent,
areeharmful tothe further growth cf
plants 'of the kind that produced -elem.
borne ofthe beaefits known to arise
Worn systematic crop rotation may Le
explained on this basis.
'these harnxful stibstanees seem to be
disposed of rapidly by certain soils,
generally those in which organic mat-
ter is readily converted into humus.
Other soils, usually -marked by a auk.
of the brown carbonized organic mat --
ter, do not seem to have this' property
of removing harmful plant products)
such a degree. -This idea bears ()teethe
common experience that soils that are
-dark colored, well willed with organic
matter, are generally productive.
•
FIGHTING POISONOUS MATTER.
• •These poisonous organic products
may be rendered harmless, if not free-
ing -the soil from themeby turning un-
der barnyard' manure, or decaying or-
ganic matter, such as a. green crop of
rye or cowpeas Nearly all of the com-
mon commercial fertilizing materials
act more or less he the sanest manner.
Thorough and complete airing of the
soil will ofteii destroy or overcome
tthese poisonous substances. When the
same crop is not grown oftener than
every three or four years on the same
. land, the injurious substances a crop
throws off„seem to have time to dis-
appear before the same crop is grown
again -hence the benefit from crop
rotation, Solis well supplied with
humus seldom experience any trouble
from this source, •and the same crow
may be grown year after year with
good yields, though continuous cultiva-,
tion of the same crop may invite in-
' jury from certain insects and funguous
• diseases Which live over in the soil, or
in the remains of the crop.
Improper reethods• ef tillage *add
very greatly to -the evil :effects that re-
sult from lack of humus, is the *oliin•-•
ion of Prof. W. J. Spillman, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, 3n malty parts of the countrY the
land is plowed three or four inches in
depth. Below the plowee stratum the
soil becomet sour, densely packed, and
unfit for plant roots. When such soils
are deeply plowed and this sour sub-
soil is mixed with the upper portion,
the growth et many crops is greatly
reteseled, This fact has led to the be --
lief that deep plowing is ruinous, and
Subsoiling has been resorted to in or-
der to eemedy the difficulty. The sub-
• soil plow will break the .packed layer,
but it does not throw it out on top.
But -while subsoiling does break tip the
hard layer into chunks, it does not
pulverize it or put hunms into it. In
the majoritY of cases the work done
in subsoiling Is practically wasted) and
there is a -doubt if le ever plays. A far
better plan Is toplow a little • deeper
eaeh year, until a depth of eight or ten
• inches is reached. This gives a deep
layer of good. soil, especially if the sup-
ply is humus is kept up.
FURTHER EFFECT8 OF TILLAGE.
When new soil, or •that which has
lain undisturbed for several years, is
broken up, it is always .best to plow
deep from the beginning, for the deep-
.', layers. will be about as fertile. as
any, except -the trap inch' or .two. It is
best, -too, inner to plow thesamedepth
twice in succession. In general, fall
plowing should be from seven to nine
er ton 'lichee, and spring plowing from
, :nee to fieven inches deep.
- The soil es plowed in order to loosen
up its texture and get air into it; also

RIBBONS FOR SUMMER HAT.
Warm -weather hats show a liberal
use of ribbons, particularly those hats
of the sports variety. So fax the rib-
bons employed are mostly narrow, but
milliners prophesy the wider ribbons
for hats, once the narrow ribbons have
gained an assured entre.
Very narrow velvet ribbons are
sometimes braided into bands, wide
bands, for sport hats, the ends being
left loose to form a fringes and huge
tassels; sometimes the sole trimming
of a sports sailor, are fashioned of
these narrow ribbons. •
Very narrow ribbons, especignY
those of velvet, are used for embroid-
ering designs upon straw hats and
sometimes upon, wider ribbons that in
turn will adorn millinery, 'Very effec-
tive. are . the cat.ocrtine tails, grapes
and birds' thus Made.
The narrow grosgrain ribbons, how-
ever, continue to be of first import -
mice in sporte millinery, both in sim.
ple bands and in most unusual bowS.
Those hats made entirely of grosgrain
ribbon will continue to be fashionable
during the summer, especially for
toUntry club and week -end wear,
One of- the most extreme novelties
for the ?summer season is that of.sthe
ribbon beach pillow, which must reeeeli
the hat, at least in color if riot', in
material. The pillow is oval in shape
and finished with ribbon loops, that it
may be hung. upon the arm.
"Narrow ribbons," says one ribbon
manufacturer, "are now in demand foe
Millinery, but one never knows When
the wide ribbons will have the field.
Contioquently we manufacturers are
making a most teinpting assortment
ahead of time. Ah, you Should see

MINA'S MODEL OITY.
Latest Undertaking Would Put It
in Suburbs of Hong Kong,
For a good many yeara schemes
have been entertained from time to
time for the erection. somewhere ha
South China of a model city for the
'use of the well-to-do Chinese. tihineee
people of wealth and Chinese return-
ing from the 'United States, Australia
and other sections of the globe with
a knowledge of modern cities have
felt this need; mad in recent years
several. attempts have been made to
launch such a project.
. One scheme went so far as the or-
ganixation of a city.at Heungetan, not
far from Kingmoon and within a short
distance ot Hong Kong. This city was
established upon Chinese soil'and by
special arrangement with the Chinese
government. It was to have certain
custom privileges; . it was established
upon niodern sanitary lines; and lei
close proximity to Hong Kong, on the
one hand, and its location in the part
of China from which come most of the
Chinese in America on the other, were
expected to make it attractive. The
city has made little progress how-
ever, •
The latest undertaking of this sort
is for the construction ot a model
suburb -of Hong Kong along the most
modern lines for the housing of
wealthy -Chinese. This plan involves
tho reclamation of a tract of land
about a mile and a half long and a
third of a mile broad, the -construction
of wide avenues and fairly wide side
streets, the erection oa 47 blocks of
high grade apartment, tenement and
similar buildings, and the establish.
ment of a modern sewerage system
and other public utilities. In spite of
'war and the uncertainties of finance
the company undertaking this enter-
prise has been formed and its plans
completed, and work is to commence
at once.
Increasing numbere of wealthy Chi-
nese from various parts of south
China are coming to Hong Kong to
make this city their permanent resi-
dence. . The result bas been a eon-
stently inceeasing need for houses for
such people and a growing demand On
their part for homes so situated that
they can be among 'their countrymen.
Most Of these newcomers have plenty
of money for their needs, and some of
them have considerable sums for
which they seek profitable investment.
Purchases of residence property in the
lower levels of Hong Kong by such'
people have changed the entire course
of real estate matters in tho colony
of Hong Kong. The organization of
this new suburb offers tr, way out of
,Many difficulties, for it will not only
afford this class of people the proper
housing•they demand, but will also oi-
ler a ready and safe investment.
• The new .suburb is to be -located on
the south side of the Kowloon penile
sula, the mainland portion of the
colony of Hong Kong two Miles from
the landing of the ferry from the city '
of Victoria (conimonly known as Hong
Kong) and along the • shore of Kow-
lon Bay, near the native city of
Kowloon. The site is to cover a tract
about 8,000 feet long and 1,500 feet
Dread, embracing the foreshore only
but backed by hills from which sev-
eral small streams emerge, the ravines
affording considerable fall for drain-
age purposes. The reclamation is
wholly a dredging undertaking. The
company is. at present drawing speci-
fications for tho work to ue done and
expects to alt the contract within the
next six or eight weeks. There is
some doubt as to 'whether dredgin,g
machinery of sufficient capacity will
be available at the present time for
the company's purposes, but apparent-
ly this is the only obstacle in the way
of rapid progress being made upon the
entire undertakin,g.
The reclamation of the land for this
suburb is being undertaken by the or-
iginal syndicate; the plan being that
the constraction of tenements, private'
residences, piers' and warehouses shall
be undertakings of separate syneicates
to be arranged later. Being on the
mainland portion of the colony the
site has the advantage.of railway -con-
nections for pier and warehouses and,
to assist in its development generally.
It is probable that connectioes with
Kowloon and Hong Kong will be
naaintained by motor .. busses rather
than.by a tre,inway system, but this
question is yet to be settled.
The plan includes the erection of
fenir piers with Space for warehouees

CARD Or LITTLE °HICKS.
The life of the chiolcs prom the Ineu-
bettor to the eighth week is a time When
the "peeps" should be given the most
careful attention. Especially during the
first 10 days should. the little things be
moot thoroughly looked atter, Cara
must be exercised from the incubator
to the brooder that in transferring the
chicks they do not become chilled.
Many poultry beginners are careless in
this reel:met, and the result is bowel trou-
ble ha some form, The heat under tfie
brooder should be 100 degrees and main-
tained at that temperature for the first
10 days to two weeks, after which a
gradual lowering can be done. The
weather tonditiome taken into considera-
tion more heat can be allowed in winter
and early eeiring than later, This is due
to the fact that the chicks run out in
weather that Is coldl and the warmth of
the brooder is welcome. In the spring,
when the eveather is warmer, the °bloke
do not require the same amount of
beat. The advanced, system of brooders
with the new coal or .oil -burning stoves
there is ample ventilation and a good
diffusion of heat properly applied. For
the met few days'board or muslin frame.
Should be place(' around the brooder that
the chicks may be kept close to the outer
edge of the hover. otherwise Some may
become chilled. After tho ehleks are 10
days old the frames can be placed further
away from the hover, and at two or three
weeks of age the whole floor spriee de-
voted to them.
They should get out for a time at least
each day after they have remelted the
age of 10 days; but should be watched
closely that all will return to the brooder
house for 'warmth and none alloeved to
become chilled by staying out too long.
Some chicks are early trained to go in
and out the brooder house. When warmth
Is tiesired, other flocks do not seem to
train so well in this respect, and a care-
ful watch must be kept for 'a few days
until thiev, know what to do. This ex-
tra trouble is -well worth the effort with
early spring chic,ks. a chilled chick means
in time a dead one, or if not one that
will never grow with the rest of the
flock.
Chicks must have the proper amount of
beat at all times under the hover, espe-
Chilly for the Bret two weeks. In every
poultry bouse good ventilation should be
secured. Warmth and fregh air are two
essentials in starting the °hicks If the
hatch is to be a. profitable one, and the
poultry keeper should :tee that fairer pro-

ony houses in which to place the brooder
stoves that the heat in the room may not
become too great, especially during the
spring months. A small brooder house
may act well early in spring, when
weather conditions are cote, but not for
the warmer days of late spring.
These essentials are as vital as feed,
and without considering them good re-
sults crania be obtained. .Allow the
chicks to thoroughly dry out, and in it

them under the hover, and, after 48
hours, feed the first meal, consisting of
soiree rolled oats on a board, or in a feed
pan, so that the ehicke can see It. Do
not feed too soon. They should be pro.
vidied with chick grit and chaxcoal, and
OA soon as they know how to eat the
oats, a. good mixture of chick feed can
be given them. Sand), vidth as little dust
as possible, should cover the floor, and
cut alfalfa or clover chaff over this to
promote exercise as they grow older.
For the first few days there is little dan-
ger of them overeating, as so many sup -
terse, and to throw grain in a litter, as is
Often done, at this tender,age is to M-
ines underfed chicks, as they cannot see
so well and need rest and heat more
than exercise. Dry bran should be
placed before them. Milk in some forin
can be fed. with good results, but

water. 'When 10 days old the dry mash

supplied; properly made, sprouted oats is
good, cabbage or mangle beets, cut clov-
er or lawn clippings when the season is
advanced.
If fortunate enough to have gratis and
clover rune this is sufficient. But the
majority who raise chicks seem to ne-
glect this important easential, and yards
for poultry are as a rule bare. Less
care Is required AS tho chicks grow
older, and at 4 to 8 weeks they should be

The Wood Pewee.
(By ,Charies Barltrop)
With ashy breast and olive wing,
In leafy maze and lonely tree,
Upon a. dry branch balancing,
. Sat little walling wood pewee.
To wind lament in stately pose,
Like those in Selfish sorrow blind,
And clin the woods 'with minor woes -
Such seemed the bent of pewee mind,
But -when this percher made a dart,
He snarseed its beak with lightning
vim,
And every moth he caught apart,
He made a eacrifiee of him.
A. habit of complaint had Ire;
But for my life I could not tea,
How, day by day, this wood pewee
Could ail so much and eat sa well.
Pewee, pewee his trebles flow;
lf sadness he were called to bear,
What living thing would wish to know
The grief that waked his trivial air?
He soothes ole, does this wood pewee,
I *scarcely know the reason why;
But life would be less dear to me
Without his little wailing cry.
