THE HAY FEVERITE.
Now the hay feverite,
A lamentable sight,
Is again to the front with his sorrows;
'He must bear them all day;
Through the night they will stay.
And he knows not how many tomorrow*.
His proboscis is red;
O’er., his face there is spread
A sad look that betrays melancholy;
He’s a picture of grief
And arouses belief
That he never again can be jolly.
Tliore are tears in his eyes
That hut more emphasize
The affliction with which he’s oontenAngv
Ami 1 .is harsh, husky ton..-;,
And his half suppressed moans
Make impression that’s almost heartrending.
There is often a sneeze,
And there’s often a wheeze
As he stops for a brief conversation;
Oft he heaves a deep sigh
As lie wipes from each eye
Tears in time to prevent percolation.
He has trouble to burn,
But advice he will spurn,
For he says he’s tried everything going;
There is nothing to do
But to worry it through
And keep up. a pretense of brave showing.
Of his woes don’t make light.
For the hay feverite
Has enough for himself and his neighbors:
So here's hoping relief
Soon will terminate grief
Under which the poor sneezer now labors.

Letter From the State Chemist
In Regard to
ANALYSIS OF A RICH SOIL
„ ktery farmer „ Hus ..... Itln His l’owerto
Improve His Soil by Proper
Tillage and Fer¬
tilizing.
LETTER NO. 2.
Whilst few farmers ever And such a
perfect soii as I described to you iu the
last part of my last letter, yet every
farmer has it iu his power to improve
the soil he starts with however poor it
may be or whatever its nature may be,
by judicious tillage, fertilizing, drain-
ing, ditching, liming, sanding, claying
aud terracing, according as the con-
ditions of his soil may indicate. He
should especially consider his soil and
decide to what crops it seems to be best
suited, and then devote his energies to
raising those crops rather than others
which thrive poorly.
If now we proceed to analyze
a soil as we did a plant a short
while since, we should expect to
find in it some of all the elements we
found in the plant, more especially in
the ash of the plant. Let ns take the
analysis of quite a rich soil; here is
about what we should have; taking one
hundred pounds of the dry soil, we
could, by mean of a careful and skillful
chemical analysis, separate it into the
following parts:
POUNDS PER HUNDRED:
These are elements
which the plant is ob¬
Carbon liged to have, but is
Hydrogen. . .12.67 f-nol dependent on the

Lime........ 1.2: in the soil in small

Now let us analyze one hundred
pounds of wheal plants.
POUNDS PER HUNDRED :
Carbon......47.691 |
Hydrogen.. 5.54 All of this comes from
Oxygen 40.32 ]- t he atmosphere and
- the rain.

Thus you see, by a study of these
analyses, that you find in the soil the
same elements which we found in the
plant we analyzed in our first letter and
also iu this wheat plant. The carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen which we find in
the soil are of little or no use as plant
food, because the plant gets its store of
those foods out of the atmosphere. It
derives its carbon from tlie carbonic
acid in the air. You will remember
that I wrote you in one of my letters
last year about the importance of water
and carbonic acid, and as it is apt here
I will repeat the paragraph:
“The water from which the hydrogen
and oxygen come is given us free iu the
form of rain, and the carbon also in the
form of carbonic acid which is breathed
out continually into the atmosphere by
every living animal on the surface of
the earth; by every chimney and hearth¬
stone which warms a happy family; by
every factory smokestack and locomo¬
tive which minister to our wants and
necessities. Carbonic acid forms the
principal part of ail this smoke although
it is not the black part which we see,
but the invisible part which is clear aud
colorless like the air. Vast streams of
it are pouring out constantly into the
air; why does it not stifL aud suffocate
us as it would if poured into the rooms
where we live? It is because all plant
life lives on it, the great forests absorb
it. The crops of wheat, corn and cotton
consume it; the lilies and the roses ear
it and drink it. They take this deadly
gas into their won derail little bodies,
and worn it oyer and over.togethor with
the Wlirer which they suck out of the
soil, until they have separated the car-
bon from the oxygen with which it is
combined in carbonic acid,liberating the
oxygen aud appropriating the carbon
in building the cells and tissues ami
organs ot .... wmch the plant is composed.
This process of the plant in taking its
carbon out o-f the air is a most wonder
fuloue, and goes 011 only under the in¬
fluence of ligiit or in the day time, and
the leaf of the plant is the only active
orgau concerned in taking the carbonic
acid out of the air. The leaf of the
piant is formed of very numerous little
cells placed side by side; 011 the under
side of the leaf there are air spaces be-
tween the cells, and over the whole leaf
there is a thiu skin. Iu this skin there
are numerous small holes through which
the air passes. When it passes into the
leaf whilst the sunlight is shiuing upon
it, through some strange vital power the
little cells of the leaf, under these con-
ditions break up the carbonic acid of the
air, retaining the carbon aud setting the
oxygen free, which passes out again into
the air. When night comes the carbon
thus obtained undergoes a change and
passes into the circulation of the plant,
going to the various parts of the piant
where it may be needed,
So we see that growing plants tend to
purify the air by consuming its carbonic
acid gas, which is injurious to animal
life, and by giving off pure oxygen gas
in its place, which is beneficial to ani-
mal life. Animal and plant life thus
stand in mutual and beautiful relations
to each other. Plant life inhales car¬
bonic acid and exhales oxygen; animal
life inhales oxygen and exhales carbonic
acid.
The animal, in his lungs and blood,
causes carbon to unite with oxygen to
form carboiyo acid; whilst the plant iu
its cells causes the carbon of the carbon¬
ic acid to separate from its oxygen.
Analysis shows the percentage of car¬
bonic ac.d in the air to be small, Thus
a hundred gallons of air is composed of:
Oxygen..........20 09 gallons.
Nitrogen 78 98 gallons.
Carbonic acid, 00.08 gallons.
You say this is a very small
amount of carbonic acid. Yes, lt
seems so, but when you come
consider the enormous bulk of the air
it actually is very large. There is so
much of it that the volume of air which
rests on one acre of your farm, cvticulat-
ing for a height of only 50 feet above
the farm would contain 90 pounds
of carbonic acid gas, and this amount
never grows less, even when the crops
are feeding on it, because it is being
constantly renewed from other sources.
Therefore, whilst you need never fear
any lack of the essential element, car¬
bon, it is well for you to appreciate
where it comes from and how .import¬
ant it is. I have said tiie oxygen and
hydrogen found in the plant came also
from the air; really they uo not come
from me air itself, but they come from
the water which floats in the air in the
form of clouds. These descend as rain
upon the soil and are drawn up through
the roots of the plant, aud the oxygen
and hydrogen, of which water is com¬
posed, are appropriated by the plant.
You, of course, appreciate the import¬
ance of these two elements of plant life
because you know only too well how
crops suffer in a dry season. We will
consider the other elements in our next
letter. Yours truly,
John M. McCandless,
State Chemist.

How They Conduct Ilevolntlon* In
San Salvador.
“Speaking about revolutions,” said
the Philadelphia speculator, ”1 had a
little whirl at one a few years ago in
my sleep. 1 was in San Salvador to
secure a concession from the govern¬
ment, and I left the president one
night at 10 o'clock after we had eaten
and drunk and smoked and agreed that
the papers should be signed at 9 o’clock
next morning. 1 went to bed to sleep
like a top, and at the hour named I
showed up at tlie palace. Instead of
meeting tlie president, I walked in on
a chap I had never seen before, and
be arose and politely exclaimed:
“ ‘It is all right, senor. At midnight
last night the president was bounced
out and 1 was bounced in.’
‘But I heard no rumpus,’ I said.
‘Oh, no! We just killed him quiet¬
ly and established tlie new government.
What can I do for the Senor Ameri¬
cano?’
“It had been a revolution with only
one man killed and bardiy a sleeper
aroused,” said the speculator, “and
when I spoke of it in a complaining
way to the landlord ol the inn he re¬
plied:
“ ‘Oil, well, why make a fuss and
wake up the ehildreu over these tri¬
fles?’ ” M. Quad.

It was 11:30 p. in., and they listened
apprehensively to heavy feet coming
down, stairs.
“It is papa!” gasped tho fair one.
“Oh, George, I’m sure ho is coming
down to quarrel with you again!”
“Don’t fear, darling! said tlie young
man nervously. “1 am going to take
steps to prevent any such unseemly
scene.”
“Oh, George, how lovely! Steps in
what direction?”
“Toward home!” And the young man
seized his hat and faded away through
the doorway silently aud with great
speed.—San Francisco Bulletin.
