HOW HUMUS HELPS THE SOIL.
Mskts it Lighter and Looser and Ben
efits in Other Ways—Deep Plowing
Advised.
[ The substance left in the ground
after the fertilizer has decayed is
known as ‘humus.” In order to se
Icure the greatest results from the fer¬
tilizer, and to get the largest possi¬
ble quantity of humus, it is necessary
that the soil be moist when the fer¬
tilizer is plowed under. Only a small
amount of humus is obtained from
[the turned-under fertilizer should the
ground be dry.
When the fertilizer is allowed to lie
|> ! Ppn the surface for a period, ex¬
posed to the sun, much good is lost
from the fact that it forms but a
Ffflali amount of humus when plowed
under. Therefore it is important
that the soil should always be moist
when fertilizer of any kind is plowed
under.
In many ways humus benefits the
soil. In the first place it makes the
F 1 ' lighter as well as looser, This
condition allows good ventilation and
gi'-'es a chance for poisonous gases to
pseape. The soil does not become
overheated, and, in clay territory,the
ground is lightened, making it more
fr'j to work. It is equally benefi
pial in a sandy soil, inasmuch as it
Nsists in binding it together, allow¬
ing more substance.

Ir any one need of southern soils
could be singled out as the greatest
then unquestionably that greatest
need would be organic nitrogen—nit
rogen supplied through hte agency of
decaying vegetation. That nitrogen
is needed on almost all our soils.thou
sands of experiments and almost uni
versa! observation prove beyond
doubt. That farmers recognize this
fact, is also proved by the millions of
dollars annually spent in the purchase
of commercial nitrogen,
When the nitrogen needed by our
soils Is obtained through decompos¬
ing legumes there is supplied some
thing more than nitrogen—humus.
This humus' is no less necessary and
will as surely increase the prpduction
of cur soils by Improving their physi¬
cal conditions. The growing of nitro¬
gen, or rather the growing of nitro¬
gen gathering crops, therefore sup
plies the two needs of our soils,which
taken together, unquestionably stand
first in importance in any scheme of
substantial or permanent soil im¬
provement—Raleigh, N. C., Progres

Wrongly Placed.
It is astonishing sometimes how un¬
consciously careless we are of the feel
jngs of the person to whom vve are
talking. A young guards input told me
the other day that a friend of his went
wlth him to consult his lawyer. The
solicitor, a shrewd looking and kindly
old gentleman, was listening to an
irate explanation of bow his clerk had
failed to do something that had been
expected of him. “Yes, you are quite
right, it was his fault,” said the so¬
licitor.
“But why are these confouuded law¬
yers' clerks so stupid?” asked the
angry soldier.
“I do not know, my dear sir,” re¬
plied the solicitor kindly, “but would
you mind alluding to them as ‘lawyers’
confounded clerks?’ ’’—London M. A. P.
A Strenuous Hint.
He had been a regular Sunday caller
for six mouths, when one evening he
dropped in arrayed in a new suit.
“That’s a lovely wedding suit you
have on,” remarked the dear girl.
“Why!” gasped the astonished young
man, “t-this is a b-business suit!”
“Well,” rejoined the d. g. calmly,
“I mean business.”
And the very next day he put up
$19.98 of his hard earned wealth for
a solitaire.—Chicago News.

Th. Baby Turtle.
Turtles lay their eggs in the sand
and let the sun hatch them out. 'They
do not lay them all in one place prob¬
ably because they think it safer to
scatter them. Then, even though one
be stolen or broken, the others may es
cape. The mother turtle covers them
all carefully up, one after another, with
a thin sprinkling of sand and then ap
parently never gives them another
thought, considering her maternal duty
done. Certain it is that she has never
been discovered going near these egg
babies again, and when they hatch at
^ ast the tiny soft backed creatures at
once begin crawling around in search
of flies and other food as independent
ir lutre "fie no suen tom,, as a
mother in the world. A little girl who
found one of these odd oblong turtle
eggs on a sandy river bank in Louisi- :
ana took it home and put it in a teacup
on the table for safe keeping. A few
hours later a slight noise was noticed !
in that direction, and on looking in the
cup again she found a babv turtle, futi
fledged. but tiny, scrambling about
among the bits of its broken eggshell

Jet.
In bis “Mirror of Stones” Camillua
Leonardus calls jet “black amber” and
states that it possesses the peculiar
property of attracting to It when rub¬
bed light substances of all kinds. He
also tells us that the thin smoke pro¬
duced by this friction of rubblug was
used by the ancient Britains for driv¬
ing away devils and dissolving spells.
“Jet,” says Dr. Young, “appears to
be wood in a high state of bittiminiza
tiou.” And certainly jet often appears
traces of ligneous structure. At
the same time there are specimens of
bones which seemingly have been grad¬
ually impregnated with and at last
wholly replaced by this substance.
Among the jet rock there is found a
liquid hydrocarbon somewhat resem
bang petroleum . , oil. .. w hi hich , occurs „ in in
* be cavb ’ es ammonites, etc., and is
a * so sometb nes found in nodules, the
presence of which is generally sup
P ose( l to P°iat . to a rich vein of t jet. ,
From these and other observations it
' v y ou j d appear that jet existed as a
Mquid substance and that this sub¬
stance p»<lual)y permeated between
laminations of the shales, etc., cov¬
ering over or in some cases entirely re¬
placing any woody matter which it
met with.—New York I’ost.
