Treatment nf the Soli.
. We have but little more definite

Involved In Its trentment than we hnd

Amerlcnn. Fertility Is not nitrogen,
Phosphorus, nud potassium alone,
though tho potential vnlue of nny Held,
or State, or country, from tho agricul
tural stnnd)olnt, is measured by these
constituent elements In Its soil; yet It
has been demonstrated that soils which
contain nn abundance of these elements,
nnd which nro notontlnlly capable of
producing crops for centuries perhaps,
are not capable of producing protltablc
crops without tho addition of further
amounts of these constituents Tho
chcnilcnl Investigator Is, therefore, com-IK-lled
to tnko Into consideration other
fncts than this. He must, If he would
cover tho whole Held, know something
of geology, of botany, of physics, or
biology, of bncterlology, nnd of tho
other natural sciences, becnuso chem

passing, the problem; thus, tho oppor
tunity for specializing In nny branch

Imnrored llutter Churn.
The old-fashioned hand butter churn,
to long nssoclnted with fresh nlr nnd
country life, seems destined to bo
overtaken by other
up to dnto churns
slid which require
less Inbor to oper
ate. Tho old-fashioned
churn was a
cltnisy affair, and
not n llttlo "elbow
greaso" was re
quired to innulpu
late It. In the Il
lustration Is shown
one of newer hnud
new cuunrr.
churns, which nevertheless contnlns
most of the principles of the older
churns. Tho only chnngo Is In tho
nppllcntlon of tho power mechanism.
In this machlnn tho power Is so placed
thnt llttlo effort Is required to operate
It. A foot iK'dnl Is udded, nud tho
linnd power In entirely different from
the old method. Instead of forcing tho
paddlo up from tho churn nfter every
descent with tho hnuds, springs nro
placed beneath the hand grips which
do the forcing automatically. It would
bo posslblo to opcrato this churn nnd
nt tho sntno tlmo rend a book or nows

A recent news telegram from York,

county commWsIonors to-day of tho last
rcplstry assessor's book It was shown
by tho totals that tho population of
otcrs In tho county has decreased In
r-lx months nearly 400. The shrinkage
In tho male population Is attributed by
the commissioners to tho desertion of
th farms by young men, most of whom
have been lured to Philadelphia and
other cities under tho Impression that
they can speedily mako fortunes.
"In tho borough of Hed Lion sixty
voters have gono to tho city within six
mouths. Tho docreaso In population Is
gronter than In tho boroughs. Tho total
registration In tho borough! nnd town
ships of tho county last spring was IK!,
802. The present registration shows
383 less."

Prof. W. J. Splllmau, In bulletin No.
i!4& on tho renovation of wornout soils,
saj s :
"To build up and maintain fertility
lu the soil, feed a large part of the
crops, nnd return tho manure to the
land. If mnnure Is not available, plow
under crops grown for tho purpose.
Plow deep, but do uot subsoil. Orow
leguminous crops for the nitrogen they
add to the soil.
"Commercial fertilisers and lime may
be liuportnnt means of improving the
soil but tho fertiliser requirements of
different soils and different crops In
different seasons are so little under
stood that wo are not yet In a position
to make positive recommendations that
are of general .application."
