SOIL RENOVATION.
By W, J. SPILLIYiAN, agriculturist In
Charge of Farm Management in•
vestigations, United States De- •
pertinent of Agriculture.
THERE is a vast difference in
the natural fertility of soils.
Some do not "produce well from
the start unless special atten-
tion is given to making them produc-
tive, others produce large crops for a
ghort time and then rapidly dirchnish
ill feet:Bite, while others, known as
strong soils, remain productive for
Many years without attention to their
fertility. But even the strongest soils
Will wear out in time unless they are
, Intelligently managed.
Plants in their growth make use of
;thirteen, chemical elements, nine of
,which they secure directly from the
e soil. These are called the mineral
plant foods. They are phosphorus, po-
tassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium,
iron, silicon, chlorine and sulphur.
The growing plant requires four oth-
er elements, as follows: Hydrogen,
Which it secures from water; oxygen,
which it secures partly from water
and partly from the air; carbon, which
is secured from carbonic acid gas In
e
the alr, and nitrogen. ,
Nitrogen is in many respects the
most important of all the plant food
elements. It is not found in apprecia-
ble quantities in the rock particles oe
the soil. Ordinary plants depend for
their nitrogen entirely on decaying or-
ganic matter. As decay proceeds ne-

bates are formed from the nitrogen
contained in organic matter. The ni-
trates are exceedingly soluble, and un-
less soon made use of bY growing
crops they are washed out of the soil.
Nitrogen is therefore usually the first
element to become exhausted.
Fortunately there are certain species
of bacteria that can use atmospheric
nitrogen, of which there is an inex-
haustible supply. One family of
plants, the legumes, has learned to ex-
change work with these bacteria, and
*hese plants are thus easily supplied
with an abundance of nitrogen in a
form they can use. When these nitro-
gen fixing bacteria are present in a
goll on which a leguminous crop is
rowing the bacteria invade the roots
ict the legume and live there. Their
presence is usually made manifest by
kwellings—the so called tubercles—on
.he roots of thrifty plants of clover,
lalfalfa, beans, peas and other legumes.
MIlae tissues of leguminous plants be-
leome very rich in nitrogenous corm
ardunds, and when they decay in the
lisoll they set free large amounts of ni-
trates for the use of crops.
I The cultivation of leguminous crepe
Is one of the most important and ens-
i•MICA1 means of maintaining a sup-
ply of nitrogenous plant food in the
moil. Nitrates may of course be sup-
plied in commercial fertilizers, but feta
Had Leaking Valves
Of The Heart.
Thought Nothing But Death
Would End Her Misery.
Mliburn's Heart and Nerve Pills Cured Her.
MRS. J. D. TALBUT, 1776 3rd Ave.,
. t ast, Owen Sound, writes: --"I have
been a great sufferer from heart disease
and leaking valves. I have had re-
source to every kind of treattnent I could
think might help me, including the skill
of several doctors. I suffered so for
years that at t,imes I have felt thErf noth-
ing but death could end my misery. I
was advised by a friend, who had suffered
untold pain and misery, just as I had;
and had been cured by Mrucorm's
EIDART AND NNRVD PILLS, to give them
a trial, so I decided to do so. I am de-
lighted with the result, as I am now com-
pletely cured, and can eat and sleep as I
have not done for years. You are at
!liberty to use tny name at any time
as I am convinced they are the best pills
on the market for any form of heart

anzers containing nitrogen are very
expensive, and it usually pays, better
to supply nitrogen by growing legumes
or by the applicetion ,of 'stable manure,
which i$ rich in nitrogen when proper-
ly handled. In good farm practice
both stable manure and leguminous
crops are used as sources of nitrogen.
In order to produce a on of dry bay
on an acre of land it Is necessary that
the growing glass pump up from that
acre approximately 500 tons of writer.
The soil must not only be in condition
to absorb and hold,water well, but it
must be porous enough to permit wa-
ter to flow freely from soil grain to
soil grain. •The presence of large quan-
tities of decaying organic matter (hu
-
muse adds enormously to the water
holdiug capacity of the soil. Not only
that, but the shrinkage of the particles
ot decaying organic matter and 'the
consequent loosening of Soil grains
heep the soil open nnd porous.
Furthermore, humus of good quality
Is exceedingly rich in both nitrogen
encl mineral plant food, -The mainte-
nance of fertility may almost be said
to consist in keeping, the soli well Op -
plied with humus, The first step in
renovnting wornout eoile Is to give
them an aaumaint sepply of humus of
good qooi1ty. Perhaps the beat genres:
of humuei Is stable manure containing
both the liquid and the solid excre-
ment, especially when the stock is
fed on rich nitrogenous foods. Even a
poor quality of barnyard manure
which has had much of the plant food
leached out of It has a considerable
value because of the humus it makes.
A.nother cheap and valutible source
of humus, but oue which must be used
understandingly, is crops grown to
turn under as manure. The legumes
are especially valuable for this pur-
pose !because of the aitrogen they con-
tain, but other crops, such as rye and
even eoru sown thick, may sometimes
be made to supply large quantities of
humus of fair quality. Crops thus
used are called green manures.
A. proper circulation of air in the soil
Is just as important as any other fac-
tor of plant growth. Nearly half of the
volume of ordinary soils is occupied
by air spaces, Plant roots must be
eupplied with air, and the soil must be
porous enough to permit of free circu-
lation, A good supply of humus and
proper tillage will accomplish this re-
sult in clay soils. Sandy soils are usu-
ally too porous, needing humus to help
them retain water.
Another reason why air -must circu-
late freely in the soil Is that large
quantities of oxygen are required to in-
sure proper decay of organic matter to
supply plant food. Also carbonic acid
gas is produced by the decay or or-
ganic matter, and this must escape eas-
ily to make room for the atmospheric
oxygen needed in the sell. One of the
most important objects of plawing is
to loosen up the soil for aeration.
Considerable evidence has been ac-
cumulated during recent years to show
I that during the growth of the plant
certain unknown organic Substances
are given off which, when they acme-
mulate ea the soil to any eetent, are
harmful to the further growth of plants
of the kind that produced them. It is
possible that some of the benefits
known to arise from systematic crop
rotation may he explained on this ba-
sis. These harmful substances seem
to be disposed of rapidly by certaiu
soils, usual/y those in which organic
matter is readily couverted into humus.
In connection with the study of these
poisonous organic products it has been
Lound that they may be destroyed or
at least rendered harmless in a variety
of ways. Barnyard manure or decay-
ing organic matter, such as a green
crop of rye or cowpeas, turned under
hata,a very marked effect in freeing the
soirfrotn them. Almost all of the com-
mon couamercial fertilizing materials
act more or less in the same way.
Thorough and complete airing of the
soil by plowing and thorough surface
tillage will often destroy or overcome
!samecrop is not grown oftener than
these poisonous substances. When the
every three or four years on the same
land the injurious substances 8 crop
throws off gee= to have time to disap-
pear before the same crop is grown
again; hence the benedt from crop ro-
tation. When the son is well supplied
with humus there is seldom tiny trou-
ble from this source, and the same crop
may be grown year after year with
good yields, though continuous culti-
vation of the same crop may invite in-
jury from certain insects and fungous
diseasewhich live over in the soil or
In the remains of the crop.
Improper methods of tillage add very
greatlY to the evil effects that result
from lack of humus. ' In many parte
of the country the land is plowed only
three or four inches deep. In itabst
cases 'work done in subsoiling is prac-
tically wasted, and it Is doubtful if it
ever pays. A. much better method is
to plow a little deeper each year until
a depth of eight or ten inches ie reach-
ed. This eyes a deep layer of good
soil, particularly if the supply of humus
IskeptUp.
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-
er layers will be about as fertile as
any, except the top inch or two. It is
wise, too, never to plow the same
depth twice in succession. In general,
fall plowing, ehould be from seven to
nine or ten inches and spring plowing
from five to seven inches deep. There
are Special cases In which tbese rules
do not apply.
We plow the soil in order to loosen
up Its texture and get sir into it; also
to turn uader stubble, manure, etc., to
make humus, Killing weeds is another
object aecorapliehed by plowing. After
a soil has been thoroughly pulverized
.to great.depths, so that there fs no dan-
ger of turning up packed cease, the
deeper the plowing the bett,qrtlioeropli.

GEORGE BELL MOVES UP
WIDELY KNOWN RAILROAD OF-
FICIAL IS PROMOTED.
In Thirty -Five Years Montreal Man
Has Risen From the Bottom of the
Ladder to Be Passenger Traffic
Manager of the Entire Grand Trunk
System — Is Member of Many
Associations.
G. T. Bell has been appointed pas-
senger traffic manager of the Grand
Trunk Railway system and the Grand
Trunk Pacific and Steamship Compan-
ies. Mr. Bell le one of the best-known
e ailway men in America and his. ap-
pointment is a well-earned tribute to
a long and successful career. He was
born in Montreal in 1861 and entered
the railevay service when he was 17
Trat the cost also increases Tenn depth,
so that ordinarily It does not pay to
plow more than about ten inches deep.
Some crops prefer rather a loose seed
:bed. Other crops, such as wheat and
alfalfa, prefer a fairly compact seed
bed; hence frequent harrowing and
rolling after plosving Is good practice
befote seeding to these crops. Never-
tbeless It pays to plow the land for
them, even if we have to compact it
again before seeding.
Sandy soils are usually not injured
by handling when wet, but the case is
different with clay soils. The effect
produced by working clay soils wet Is
known as puddling. The proper time
to plow land is when it is just moist
enough, to break up mellosv, neither
wet orough to leave a slick surface
where rubbed by the moldboard nor
dry enough to break up in large clods.
If continued rain follows wet plowing
little harm follows, but hot, dry winds
would soon leave only a mass of un-
manageable clods. In spring and mid-
summer plowing particularly it is of
the utmost importance to run the har-
row immediately after the plow. This
preVents the formation of clods. In
late fell plowing the clods are no
advantage, for they win be broken up
by amezing end thawing. • •_
