THE FORMATION OF THE SOIL.
Vegetation begins with the very
simplest forms of plants, Stich as
lichens and mosses, and is, of
course, very scanty at first. These
plants on dying become a part of
the soil, all of the plant nutrients
used by them being thus returned,
writes Mr. Alfred Vivian.
Food that has once been used by
plants is very readily made avail-
able to succeeding crops through
the process of decay. The soil is
now able to produce a larger crop,
as it contains the plant food in the
previous growth in addition to that
added through the agencies detailed
above
In this way the growth gradually
becomes more abundant. The
plants upon decaying give _rise to
humus, and this increases the fer-
tility of the land both by being n
source of plant food and by increas-
ing the water -retaining power. Hu-
mus is a very important factor in
fertility. During the decomposi-
tion of the plants, acid substances
'are formed which act upon the
rocks in such a way as to make
more- of the plant food available.
One of the products of decay or
fermentation is carbonic acid, and
this is dissolved in the soil water,
and this gas-containing water is
an important help in disintegrating
the rocks.
As the nutritive materials in•
crease from these various causes
the lower simpler forms of plant
life are gradually replaced by those
which are more highly organized.
With the advent of plants. like
our common crops. which bear
roots, other factors in the forma-
tion of soils are introduced. The
roots secrete an acid substance that
has a solvent effect on the mineral
matter of the soil, and the roots
themselves also assist mechanical-
ly in breaking down the rocks. -.
All are familiar with the tre-
mendous force exerted by plants in
breaking apart rocks and stones if
once their tender rootlets obtain a
foothold in a crevice.
The roots penetrate the soil
sometimes to great depths. and as
they decay after the death of the
plant, they leave little channels in
the soil which serve to carry down
water laden with carbonic aei<l, as
well as to introduce the oxygen of
the air, that, in its turn, is a factor
in bringing about chemical changes
in the soil, which assist in making
plant food available.
Sooner or later in the process of
soil formation, plants of the pulse
family, (leguminous p1anrs)r such
as clover, vetches, lupines, ete.,.are
introduced.
If you dig up some of these plants
you' will find little nodules or tu-
bercles on their roots. These
nodules are the homes of numer-
ous bacteria, which enable the
plants to derive part of theirfood
from the nitrogen of the atmos
phere.
This peculiar property of legum-
inous plants is of great importance,
for it is undoubtedly nature's prin-
cipal method of increasing the sup-
ply of nitrogen' in the ground.
The nitrogen compounds accu-
mulated by these plants• eventual-
ly become
ventual-ly'become a part of the soil through
titheilityr decay, thus adding to its ler-
It will readily be understood that
the various agencies concerned in
the formation of the soil do not act
separately nor necessarily in any
such order as that in whichthey
have been discussed.
As a matter of fact all the pro-
cesses described take place simul-
taneously. The lower plants do
not wait for the rocks to be pul-
verized, for we see -such organisms
as the lichens growing on rocks from
which one would think it impos-
sible to obtain food.
If the lichen is removed, grooves
or furrows will be found on the
surface of the stone, due to the
action of the plant.
Nor are all soils formed directly
from the original rocks, for one of
the effects - of weathering, etc., is
to separate such rocks as the gra-
nite into siriipler substances, with
the result, for example, that huge
deposits of limestone are formed in
one place, and in another whole
hills of sandstone.
The soil is almost constantly
moving, for some of the same agen-
cies which form soils are continu-
ally carrying them away. Running
water grinds the rocks, but at the
same time transports the fine par-
ticles to lower levels. It cuts deep
valleys in the surface of the earth
and carries away the debris, de-
positing it at various ,distances
from its source.
This study of the formation of
the soil then suggests two things
that tee. farmer can do.to ,prevent
'the: exhaustion of the fertility.
The first is to treat the ec it its
to assist and Basten nature in the
process of converting the plant frod
into available forms by mimes of
good tillage.
The second is to return t, the
soil by means of manure tind ftrie•
liters an amount of plant food
equivalent to that r,mavocl l:y the
crop.

As he passed his big Week eyes

A NAPOLEONIC WOOING.
. The great Napoleon's wooing of
Desiree Clary was equally romantic
aed much more rapid. One day (ho
was an obscure and shabby young
soldier of fortune at the time) be
was induced to accompany his
brother Joseph to the house of M,
Clary, 0Marseilles silk -merchant,,
to be introduced to Desiree Clary,
Joseph's financee. Tho bright eyes.
and vit'aeioes manner of Desiree,
contrasted with demure piainnese
of her sister Julie, made such a
speedy conquest of the future Em-
peror that he determined to win
her before he left the house.
"In a well-conducted house," he
said with startling suddenness, just
before leaving, "ane must yield to
the other. You, Joseph, are of a
most undecided character, and
Desiree just the - same.; whereto

Therefore you had much bette't-

in added, "she shall be my vt•ife.".
'But in spite ,of this forcible woo-

share Napoleon's life and throne.
He soon wearied of her rustio
beauty and left her to languish
while he knelt at the knees of the
