The past few years havo seon wonder ful ImptotenieetH In the methods of harvesting ivirn. Several largo agrl i ullitral machine manufacturers huvu been putting corn harveeters on tho litnrkct. The deiimi d (or tho machines when well understood was greater than the capacity of the factories. In many Tii'i'tlnns It Is a rnrlty to llnd a farmer without, a corn hnrvester. Thn grent ndvniitnge In iiulng these corn harvest ers Is iho raving of labor. Any mn who has tiled it knows thnt cutting corn by hand is one of thn imi.sr. la borious of farm operations. Then, tori, the corn harvester hinds the stalks In bunilli3 and tho fodder consequently Is much easier to handle. Iltt'ler rhoelis can be made nnd more ileKliuble fodder results. As a complement Ut the corn binder, tho modern busker and shredder Is a Krcnt success mid litis eonie to stay. Different sizes nro manufactured and they work so perfectly that not only l.i a large amount husked each day, but tho husks are taken" off completely. Tho shredded fodder Is in excellent condition for feeding, nnd If properly stacked or stored In tho mow Ih al moHt. as good as bay, provided tho corn bus been cut early. tilbert Wheeler, In American Agriculturist. Ireparlnff the Fired lied foe Wlimit, perl I! ictus in deep anil shallow flowing for wheat at a law number of agricultural experiment stations, Bhow that tho depth of plowing Is n it of bo much importance. with tels crop as a firm seed bed, the upper three or four inches ol' which is mell-iw and in good tilth. As with tho other cereals, subsoiling has not been found finan cially profitable. Early plowing for fall wheat has been found especially desirable at u larg number of the fxperlment sta tions. In many states It is a colli sion custom among farmers to sow w'l.snt after oats. Where this ia done tho earlier the soil Is plowed after thn cat crop is removed tho better tho ro sults will bo. This point haa been well brought out by experiments at a num ber of different Untluns in all parts of tho country. The vnluo of early plowing for fall wheat nns lately been summarized by the department of agriculture as fol lows: Early plowing, followed at In tervals by harrowing, prevents tho ttrowth of weeds, conserves tho moli't nre of tho soil, keeps the soil in good tilth and results In tho formation of a seed bed best suited for the prompt germination and growth of the eeed. The cost of preparing the ground is lessened, tho ylem of grain Is In creased and tho practice is financially profitable. Many farmers roll the seed bed. On heavy lands this is of no advantage, but on lighter soils It firms down tho eeed bad, thus insuring a mora even germination of tho seed and a mora certain contact with tho soil water contained in tho subsoil, and would seem to be deslrablo, especially in dry seasons. In irtuhrolllngand harrowing after seeding Increased the yield a lit tle over three bushels per aero. On the value of railing whe.at lands in the west the United States department of agriculture has thin to say: A roll er should never be used on the western plains, except In the case of lata plow ing, and even then it should be used only before drilling. Thla is owing to the fact that roughness of surface is vnlunblo for holding molHturn and cheeking tho Injurious, action of dry winds, The seed bed should Im mada tery fine and mellow before drllliim, nnd whenever possible the drill row r.liofl Itl run eant and west. Strict at tention to such general principles n llio foregoing will result In an Incrensn In certain peasona of as much as flvn or 10 bushels per nere. C. U. Smith, ia New England llomeidead. Orsnnle Matter In Anils, Scientists who have given their at tention to soils devote t "ltisblerablo discussion lo humus and Its formation. The Kill Is largely compmed of clay lime, silica (sand) and humus, and. according to Mr. Freer-Thonger of Euglstid, who baa devoted much of his time to tbo investigation of soils, all vegetable matter which grows and dies on the soil Is transformed Info lititniiM. Formerly It was supposed that humus alone furnished food for plants, hence the fertility of a soil wns mtimaled ac cording lo Its content In humus or or Knnli! matter. There was some truth In tl.o liellef, fir In organic matter un dergoing decomposition there exists ni trogenous matters which are gradually converted Into ammonia and nitric; acid. Carbonic acid gas Is also a prod uct of ileeemiitiMlllon. which acts pow erfully In rendering soluble tho min eral cli iin'iiU of tho soil. Humus soils havo the property of retaining the sol uble mineral nulls, which are so easily washed away Into the subsoil. Soils containing much humus are enslly worked, and owing lo Ihr lr dark color ar easily warmed by the sun. Sue h noils give good returns when dresnod with phosphate, although on clay t'oll4 ler.s potash may be required tlinn on IKht sandy land. Tho application ot limn favors iiitrilliatlon of the nltro l c nous organic inn Iter. It Is claimed that liiimiis solln are rich In nitrogen, poor In phosphoric ni id, with varia ble finiinlllles of potash. Snndy soll) nro picMir in all the plant foods. Clay soils nro rich In potash, xior In plios I'horlc ni Id, but vary In nitrogen. 1 befe ( Inline, however, depend Inrgely upon tli" cliaracleriHlb s of soils, their treatment and the kinds of crops that havo b"cu grown thereon. llpinus Is formed under ninny con ditions", lycaves, roots, straw, manure and green substances that have been turned under all Bfllst In tho work. Tho value of humus doea not depend exclusively upon Its content of plant focd, but niotdly In tho Influence It ex erts on the soil In relntion lo Its phy sical condition, and Ita acid In render ing thn plant food of the soil availa ble for the sustenance and growth of piunls. llio upper portion of tho soil usually contains more humus than tho deeper portion, which marks or con iilitnles the difference between soil and subsoil. Humus is the great reser voir wlili h retains the soil molstitro mill nitrogen, it absorbs moisture like a f pohgo and prrvrnta nscnpe of mois ture that would otherwise bo lost; but, while It ftores up nitrogen and other plant f(!-')d It slowly nnd constantly p,lvos out carbonic neld gas as a result of decay of vegetable matter. This acid acts on stones, polls nnd all In soluble materials, netting free tho pot ash and pbofipbates contained, thus providing plant foods for crops. He sides carbonic acid evolved from hu mus, oilier veget.iblo acids are formed. Willi h i onihino witli lime, potash and other sub.tanees to form liiimatea. All of these procc'es are constantly oe turrlnp, the plant foods of (he soil be coming available even when the farmer does not assist In the work, for It is well known that one of tbo most. di rect and effective methodu of adding to the humus of tho soil Is by the plow ing under of green crops, which collect cartoti from the atmosphere, nnd If elover, peas, beans or other leguminous ( rops are used a large amo'.int of nitro gen Is also added to the soil. Tho use o!' green crops Is nlmcr.t necessary In order to promote tbo formation of hu mus, although It has been demonstrat ed that when tho ground Is covered with sod or any other covering there is a formation of humus tinder proper conditions. Every farmer should endeavor to so rotate and cultivate his crops as to promote tho formation of humus, but !t may lie stated that it has oeen found by experlcent when tho soli was well ruppiled with tbo phosphates and pot nnh there Is more humus formed than v. hen such mineral substances are de P' .-lent, hence no farmer should depend upon green manurlal crois exclusively, i'.vett barnyard manure, which pro motes tho formation of humus, will not F.lvo as good results as when both ma nure nnd fertilizers tre used. It is tho duty of tho farmer to keep his land well supplied with all the essential clomenta so necisaary for plants, for it Is often a grave mistake to allow any nibstance to be lacking, as there la mi eh a thing a9 a superabundance of one substance with an insufficiency of olheru, in which caso the crop will niako excellent progress for awhile and Hum fail to utilize more of the partic ular plant food with which it haa been overfed. Humus usxIUs in providing till the foils, and aH'o holds the mois ture for the supply of the crop. There is constantly occurring in the soil moro or lets loss of plant food. Exposure at certain seasons ts Injurious to eoIIu. Sltailo is one of the conditions re quired by soil bacteria, and shade con duce? to tho formation of humus. In fact, all farmers know that when a heavy god is turned under the result is a lurgo addition of humus to the soil. Such sod land may have been closely cropped by grazing cattle, but it gained In fertility, due to the shading of the soil, and also to the prevention of loss ot soluble plant foods by leaching from rains and melting snowa. Any kind of crop that covers the soil, therefore, a, slats in the formation of humus In the soil. Philadelphia Record. B-DFELLOW9 IN MEXICO, Kiperlenee of a Trnrelrr While I'ssslnf ThroiiKh 1 hat C ountry. "I hml a rather unhappy experience once, myself," said a listener, "but It wns at a tlmo when my nerves could not stand a great deal, and tho shock was no surprise to mo. I was t "ally happy when I found thnt my eyes bad played me no trick nnd that the things nbont mo were real things. I had Journeyed down Into Mexico, for thn purpose of spending Koine time. The trip wns partly a business trip, and partly for such pleasures an I could get out of an experience in a country t lint was new to me. I ought lo say hero that 1 hnd never been In a tropi cal country. My life hnd been spent In (he north, and whatever 1 knew about many of the forms of life in tropi cal sections was altogether theoretical. I hail merely read about, many of tho things, but I learned afterwards that there were many things ! bad never dreamed of even In moments when my mind was Inclined to conjure with the horrors of uneven sleep. Well, I found myself In Mexico, was In tho wilds of Mexico, and that, where one could find but few of the comforts known to the more advanced ways or living. I stopped wllh an old Mexican onn night, and he put mo In a (lumpy little room off to myself. slept on the floor, or rather I started to Hrep on the floor nnd It was a dirt floor at that I colled up on a mattress ninde of some light material. I had Just closed my eyes when I felt, something scramble rapidly over my forehead. It started me a bit, but f kept cool and still to see ir It would happen again. It happened In les.-t time thnn !t lakes to tell It. Thl 4 tiling kept tip until the experiment was (llsorgaiilzin;; my nerves, and I could stand It no longer. I got up and started out, mid I felt the same thing happening to my feet. Partly panic stricken. I rushed into thn room of lit" old Mrv han. ".Something In yonder," I said, pointing townrd my room. He took In thn situation at once, and assured mo thnt It was all right. He struck a light and went to the room with mo to assure me that there was no danger. When I got back to my room I was paralyzed. Crawling over the walls of the hut and scrariiplng over tbo floor, over tho mattress on which I had lain, nnd running hero and there, and everywhere, was a perfect army of lizards of a'l sizes, ages and varie ties. I told the Mexican to leave mo the light, and that I would occupy tho room for the night. And so f did. But I did not sleep, for I did t.ot want tho lizards however harm less and companionable they might be, to convert my face and forehead Into n promenade. This wouivl up my ex perience In Mexico and I scampered over tho border an soon as possible, and Kltico Hint time tun wilder regions in the tropica have had no fascination for me." New Orleans Timos-Demo-ciat. The Ideal Frhrml leneher. The teacher must tench more, and know more; ho must be a living foun tain, not n Ftagnant fool. He should hoc bo n dealer in dedicated, second hand knowledge, a mere giver out and litarer of lessons. Thnt is the chief nnd humiliating difference between our secondary teachers and thoso abroad, who are mostly doctors of philosophy, as they should be. If we could movo many university professors to the col lego many college professors to the high school, many high school teach ers to tho grammar school, and somo grammar school teachers with at least a sprinkling or college, graduates, Into the kindergarten It would do much. In the Gorman and French school the teacher is ono who knows a great deal about his subject, and Is nearer to original sources; who tells the great truths of tho sciences almost like sto ries, and who does not affect tho airs nnd methods of tho university profes sor. Very many secondary teachers are masters and authorities. Here, roost of our university pedagogy Is a mere device for so influencing high school principals and teachers as to correlate curricula, in order to corral in students, and little Interest Is taken in the grammar grades and none in the kindergarten. The Furum. Nnne Could Climb It, Fifteen hundred people saw a Mal tese sailor try to fix a flag to tho polo in Jackson square and fall, he climbed almost to the top and then slid to tbo bottom. But ho was not discouraged. Once more he tried to get to the top, but it was not to be. He got about half way up, and again his strength gave way and he had to como to the bottom. But still he was not dismayed. He tried the task again and again. He seemed to think ho was the man for that job, and he wanted to make a showing before the crowd there assem bled, but he failed. Ho could not climb the pole, and to the idea of hav ing a flag on the top of the staff had to be abandoned. Several others essayed to do that which tho Maltese had tried and failed, bu. they had no better luck,, and so the attempt waa given up, and the tall est flag polo in the city remains with out a flag, for tho reason nobody with nerve and skill enough could be found who would venture to make the as cent New Orleans Times-Democrat Iceland's sensible f Itarett f'nre.
