Bxperiments by Peofespor of the EXoptetravi inlasyl, Farm, Tee importance cannot be given to tee value of humus in the growth of crops and i11 the retain- tename, of fertility, It, is the na, tural storehouse end keeper of nit- rogen in the soil, an element which is the most •expensive of all plant foods when it becomes noceesary to pureirase it in commercial fertilizers. Humus furnishes the food upon Which the soil miero-organisms liVe, end whine by their life functions convert ks organic nitrogen into nitrable, • ft possesses considerable amounts of the mineral food eon' etitunte. These, in the further de- composition oi the humus—a • pro- cess' continually- going on in sum- mer—are liberated in forms avail- able to growing crops, and from re- cent experiments and research by Prof. Shutt, chemist, of the Cen- teal Experimental Farm, Ottawa, there is reason to believe thee the mineral humatos fernish a large proportion of the potash, lime,and so on, used by crops. Then humus serves to increase the absorptive and retentive power of soils• for moist- ure. It regulates and protects against extremes of soil tempera- ture. It opens up and mellows heavy soils. It serves to material, ly diminish the loss of fertilizing elements by drainage, and thus per- manently improves light soils in the best way. Thus it is 'evident :that humus should, be regardedas a soil component of very bish order. The relation of humeri content to nitrogen present in soils of similar origin under sireilee meteorologieal conditions is practically constant. It lute been noticed, too, that the amount of eumus present gives an excellent though not an infallible in- dication of the amount of organic nitrogen possessed by the soil. It has, also, been 'observed that as the humus disappears the nitrogen goes with it. Exposing the substance of the soil to the air, as by our ordin- etry methods of farming with the plow, harrow, and so on, tends to dissipate the humus, and, as a na- tural consequence, to decrease the nitrogen. Soils growing grain ex- clusively every year lose more nitro- gen by this humus oxidation than is removed in the crop, and this loss is groatese in those soils which are richest in nitrogen, Experiments at the Minnesota, (U.S.A.) Experiment Station showed that for every 25 pounds of nitrogen absorbed by the crop, grain following grain for a number of years, 146 pounds of nit- rogen were lost, duo to oxidation of organic matter. These are facts that are of the ut- most import en2e end Worthy of study by furiners in Canada not only M the older provinces but also In those western areas which are overlaid by phenomenally fine soils. During the past thirteen years a great many Canadian soils, both virgin ancl cultivated, have been ex- amined in the laboratories of our Experimental Farms. The soils thus exam -Med have heen representa- tive of large areas hi every province In the Doillinioo. Judged by the standards accepted by agricultural chemists nanny soils in Canada proved fully as rich In plant food as the most fertile soils of any port of the world, particularly those soils in Manitobit. and the Northwest Ter- ritories; and the analyses by Prof. Shutt have proved them equal to the renowned black soil of RUSSla. In all the other provinces there are virgin soils of more than average fertility, comparing most favorably with those of other countries. , Tho ascertained amount of plant food contained in an a.cre of soil taken to a. depth of 8 inches, a quantity that would weigh about 2,500,000 lbs„ Prof. Shutt estim- ates, from laboratorical experiments tfic:ble, in our rich soles., from 10,- 000 to 20,000 pounds of nitrogen, on 15,000 to 25,000 pounds of potash, and from 5,000 to 10,000, Pounds of phosphoric acid. Simil- arly 111 soils of good average fet- tility he has found from 2,500 to 5,000 pounds of nitrogen, from 5,- 500 to 11,000 pounds of potash, and from 8,500 -to 6,000 pounds of phos- Witilo "tidle's° vast stores of plant food ore truly present, but 0 very small percenicige of them is imme- diately available to plants, other- wise soils might soon become 'ex- hausted by the leaching of the food constituents below the reach of roots, and by the selfish practices of taralerS W110 would return nothttig to the soil.

The principal ob- ject in applying numures and fer- tilizers is Lo add to tide *tore of availeble plant food.

The other two' said that it was spinal disease, but all of them peonounced my ease absolutely and positively incurable. My money was nearly all gone, for I was not a rich man. Some one advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and aS a last hope I did so.

In many parts of North Wales sheepdogs are employed, mainly by small farmers, in milk churning, and such work is ermeled out in a very novel way. Tho apparatus eonsists of a light wooden table, about Oe feet in diameter, placed at an angle of 45 degrees fr0h1 the horizom and revolving on a pivot. To give -the animal a better foothold, narrow strips of board are fixed at close in- tervals across the outer edge of the table, and by placing a paw against each of these narrow bisections the dog works the crude little macbin- ery with apparent ease. An attempt was made some little time ago by menus of legal proceedings, to bring the case of ono of these churning dogs to conviction for cruelty, but there was, as tho magisiecttes point- ed out, considerable difficulty in ad- judicating: in the ease, inasmech as them was no precedent upon the sub- ject. After seeing the dog in ques- tion at work, and successfully turn- ing the milk into butter, the bench expressed tho opinion that though churning was not to the dog's in- stinct yet that of itself did not con- stitute cruelty. The case was dis- missed, with the caution that in such uso of the machine the dog wits not to be cleaned to the strueture, as he had beon at Ulnas. Upon the occasion of tho magisteriel teepee - tion of the sheepdog's churniug tho little four -footed dairy worker con- verted the milk into butter in rather less than half cra4*hotir.
