We are just beginning to learn that if the soil Is cultivated carefully and extensively. It can be made to hold water within itself and carry a storage reservoir underneath the growing crops. Finely pulverized and packing the seed bed makes it canalde of retaining the greatest pos slide percentage of the moisture that falls, just as a fine sponge of a cer tain size will hold many times ‘ as much water as a coarse sponge of t’ same size, or as a tumbler full of bird shot will retain many times the amount of water that a tutnb.er of buckshot will. This is the much heralded dry fanning, it is a well- known fact that water moves in the -oil as it does in a lamp wick by apil arv attraction. The more deep ly and the more densely the soil bed in saturated with moisture, the more easily the water moves upward in the soil, just as the oil climbs up a wet wick faster than it does p drv one. The problem of evaporation is the mightiest one before the agricultur ist of the semi-arid West. Even if the same amount of raiu fell in east ern Colorado as falls in Iowa, it does not follow that as much moisture would be available for plant life in the former as in the latter State Eastern Colorado is a mile above the sea. as the World Today points out. and has a clear atmosphere ami in tense sunshine. Its atmosphere is, therefore, very dry and quickly drinks up the moisture from the soil unless we tal>e measures to prevent it. This we do by means of a soil blanket called mulch. This finely “ulverized surface serves a twofold purpose: it prevents the moisture from below, in Inr 0 " 1 measure from evaporating and. at the same time, keeps tiu* surface in such condition that it readily absorbs whatever sud den showers may fall. One can illus trate the effect of this fine soil mulch, so far as preventing evaporation is concerned, by placing some rowder ed sugar on the surface o? a lump of loaf sugar and holding ,he latter in a tumbler of water. He will observe that the nowdered 8u ,r ar will remain dry even when the lump has become so thoroughly saturated that it crumbles to pieces in his hands The Horse. (Scottish American.) The following remarkable essay on the horse is said to be from the pen of an Indian student: "The horse is a very noble quadru ped. hut when he is angry he will not do so He is ridden on the spinal cord by the bridle and sadly the driver places his foots on the stirrun and divides his low’er limbs across the saddle and drives his animal to the meadow. He has four legs; two are on the front side and two are afterward. These are the weapons on which he runs. He also defends himself by extending those in the rear in a parallel direction toward his foe. but this he does only when in a vexatious mood. There is no animal like the horse. No sooner they s ‘C their guardian or master than they always cry for food, but it is always at. the morning time. They have got tails, but not so long as the sow and other such like animals.” According to the census of 1900 the States was 230 millions, while turkey- numbexed 6*6 millions, geese 5^ mil lions, and ducks nearly 5 millions. It is estimated that 300 million chickens and other forms of poultry are con sumed in this country each year an average of less than four per capita. Chickens are generally first choice and the first to run out on the menu of the hotel and the restaurant. The market for first class poultry and eggs have never yet been overdone. There is no more staple and popular article of food, .and it is safe to expect the Joinand to develop in proportion to the Increase of our population and to the care uml intelligence with which the markets are supplied. No stock on the farm brings better relative re- lurns for expenditures than Poultry, and there is no better place for the in dustry than in the Southern States. The autumn season is ideal in th® South, and game animals, birds and fishes are many and varied, and sportsmen can find something to their liking without particular hardship or discomfort even In remote localities. In the mountains and woodlands the four-footed tribes range from rabbits to coons, deer and hear, w hile feather ed inhabitants vary from quail and duck to turkey—a long list of land and water fowls.—with countless kinds of fishes iu rivers, bays and seas, all combining to make the South the natural game preserve of the country.
