Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and per- verted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are-—indigestion and its accom- panying miseries.

Considerable evidence has heen ac- cummulated during recent years to show that the cause of the failure of some soils to produce satisfactory crops may be ascribed to unfavorable conditions produced in the soils the plants themselves. It is thought that during the growth unknown organic substances are given off which, when they accum ulate in the soil to any extent, are by of harmful to the further growth of plants of the kind that produced them, It is possible that some of the bene its known to arise from systematic crop rotation may be explained on this )asis. These harmful substances seem soils, usually those in which organic matter readily converted hu- mus. Other soils, usually marked by a lack of the brown carbonized ganic matter, do not seem to possess this property of removing harmfu: products to such a degree. This idea is in accord with common experience, that dark-colored zoils, wel! filled with organic matter, are very productive In connection with the study of these poisonous organic productions, it has found that they may rendered harm. Barnvard nanure or decaying organic matter, such as a green crop of rye or cCOw- eas, turned under, has a very mark- ed effect in freeing the soll from them Almost all of the common commer- cial fertilizing materials act or less in the same way.
