a further use. By means of its

unavailable matters into an availt*

that so long as an abundance of
this humus remains there is less
waste from the washing of a cia\

they apply fertilizers to soil
abounding in vegetable decay,
they get far better results than
I hey can get from the same application
to a sod barren in
humus. They would certainly
give t rest and a long vacation to
the agricultural editor who would
advise them to give humus a
