Soil.
When a country has been farmed for
forty years or more strictly on a grain­
farming basis, things begin to iook
pretty desolate, unless legume crops
have been raised extensively; and, as
a rule, where such short-sighted meth­
ods of farming are in practice the value
of legumes Is glvea little bee*.
the Fertility.
It is a noted fact that where legumes
are grown on land, nay two-fifths of
the time, which certainly should be the
case, the nitrogen supply is held. It is
also well known that the feeding of
tlie crops grown on tlie same farm, the
proper care of the barnyard manure,
and Its application to the lands, will
return all the fertilizing ingredients
with the exception of such as compose
the animal body, and such other prod-
ucts as wool, cheese and butter as are
sold from the farm. They are actually
lost to the soil forever.
This loss is
represented on phosphorus and potassi­
um compounds, and can be supplied in
three distinct ways only. They can
be purchased in the form of feeding
stuffs for farm animals, finding their
way to the soil through the manure;
or, they may be secured directly by
commercial fertilizers; and again by
the subsoil running down to a depth of
3 or 4 feet from tiie surface.
Roots of all crops go down Into the
soil from 2 to (i feet, and take directly
the Ingredients from the subsoil, and
upon their decay tend to Increase its
[loroslty.
This assists the capillary
movements of water, which reacts as
an agent to carry fertilizing ingredi­
ents as they become soluble in tlie low­
er soils up to near the surface, where
they are readily available to the feed-
ing roots of succeeding crops.

Consul fleni r*l liotiert .1 Wynne r*
orts that the Irmdon county council
tins decided, on tlie report of the meteo­
rological office exjiert, not to vote
money for experiment* to dispel fogs
in London by explosive disturbances of
tlie atmosphere, as proposed by an Bai­
lan inventor, concerning which llie eon-
nil general writes:
In replying to the report
which
made light of tlie theory that fogs
could be driven away by tlie discharge
>f cannon, u civil nnd electric engineer
informs the expert that tlie inventor
of the fog dlspeller lias never claimed
to I m * able to displace the- atmosphere
in order to prevent the fog from form­
ing or to drive it away when once
formed. His theory is quite different
and tlie work to do very simple. He
stated that in order to prevent the phe­
nomenon from taking place it ’suffices
to destroy the atmospheric equilibrium
which exists at tlie moment when the
fog forms and which lasts as long as
the fog lasts. Tlie Inventor states that
the tranquillity of the atmosphere Is
thi' sole cause of fog; liis purpose is to
produce a movement in tlie air mole­
cules. This movement is easily obtain­
ed by means of vibrations of the at­
mosphere. In order to produce mole­
cular movement in 1(M» tons of metal
It is not in the least necessary to dis­
place tlie mass of metal—it is sufficient
to strike it with a hammer to put tlie
molecules of the entire mass in vibra­
tion.
The inventor draws attention to ths
official statement of the District Viti­
culture Society of Lyons, France, pub­
lished on Feb. 2, 1907. From the re­
port it appears that in the ten years
preceding the use of protection against
hall the losses amounted to about 13.-
000,000 francs (francs—19.3 cents). In
the six fellowing years they amounted
only to 1,000,000 francs, and ft is here
stated that “all the slight failures sti*
tallied were Invariably due to the re­
laxation of discipline on the part of
the flrers, who allowed themselves to
be taken unawares.”
According to the engineer referred
to, notwithstanding the action of the
council, experiments with the Italian’s
apparatus are to be made In London.

esta te goes to his mother, or, on her
