upon the time thus lost in doing extra
work and waiting for the ground TO dry
off between the plow and the planter, n
writer in the Ohio Farmer has said: II
instead Of narrowing. rolling or drag.
ging all this land before planting. each
farmer used an implement that would
pulverize thoroughly the row in which
the corn is to be- planted. leaving the
middlers to be rolled. narrowed or
dragged, after planting. as the condi-
tions Of weather and sell might indi.
cate. there would ba saved an immense
amount Of labor and worry.
W. made n simple implement that
has saved labor and time and given MS
the satisfaction OF planting ar soon ~

as the field is plowed, we harrow il
necessary and then start this pulverizer
ahsad Of the planter. 1t pulverizes the
tracks for the planter perfectly. leaving
the middle rs the harrow left it. ready
to be rolled or dragged after the corn
il planted.
To make the rulverizer we need two
planks q feet long, . by IL inches, and
two boards 4 feet long, 2 by 9 inches.
They are bolted together, as shown in
the cut, 50 that the distance from CEN
ter to center will be the same as the
width OF the planter or distance be-

teeth from a harrow and insert seven
to nine in the . by II sides. in such a
way that no two teeth follow each other.
The hitch Is a chain from a scotch
harrow. Two horses attached as to the
harrow OF plank drag will do the work
with the driver riding on the pulverizer
If the ground is rongh enough to re-
quire so much weight. The marker can
be taken from the planter and used on
the pulverizer. as the track made by
the pulverizer will be the guide for the
team and driver Of planter.
To Tighten the work Of turning az
ends we have used the truck of a rid
ing cultivator,. and b. the chain attach.
ment to truck and InlSerizer we raise
with Il foot lever the pulverizer clear of
the ground for convenience in turning
and getting tho spacing of rows accu-
rately and easily. The truck and chain

duced by micro organisms closely re-
lated to the bacteria. They make their
entrance from the soil through the ten
der cell walls Of tho younger portions Of
the roots and induce II cell growth in
the region Of the invasion that results
in \ tubercle.
In some unknown way the tubercle
germs are able to lay hold Of and adapt
the free nitrogen for the use OF the
plant that Is bearing the gals. To .
certain extent the number and size Of
the gals may he taken as an index Of
the success OF the plant.
There is Il marked difference between
the gals upon the roots Of leguminous
plants; for example. those of the pea
are quite unlike those of the bean.
This is brought ont in the cuts, made
from sun prints of the roots and their
gals. From the great difference in size,
shape and distribution, one might easily
think that the gals We're caused by dis.
tinct kinds of germs, but there is nc
marked distinction in the micro organ
is,ns when studied with the microscope.
1t is true that a germ that has grown
upon Il certain crop plant is more at
home upon that kind of host. In other
words. soil extract from an old pea field
will produce gals upon the pea roots in
new land better than upon clover or
any other crop.

MAN SHOT
BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW 1T FOR
SEVERAL MINUETs.
ME-. 11Oore's Strange Experience last
Night.

G. K Moore, who Il employed In the
packing house district, was shot in the
right thigh while walking along Topeka
avenue just below Eighteenth street last
night about O'Clock. He said he was
walking along alone when he heard an
explosion or gunshot behind him. appar-
entity half a block away. He felt a sting
ing sensation in his right leg, but didn't
think anything about 1t. He turned
around to see where the shooting or noise
was but could see no one nor hear any
more noise. In a few minutes a paralyz-
ing pain struck his leg and he felt the
blood running. He knew then that he
had been shot. He went into yard and
sat down on the side OF front porch.
There was no one at home but two little
girls, but the lady of the house soon
came. She called some help and in half
an hour Mr.. Moore was helped to the To-
peka avenue car. He came to the corner
Of Topeka and Douglas and walked up
to the keystone hotel. DR.. Fordyce was
called and extracted a ball from the
wound, and in few minutes Mr.. Moore
was sitting up smoking his pipe. He suf-
fered only a flesh wound. He says he
doesn't know who did the shooting or
where the shot was fired, nor anything
ebout II except that he heard the noise
and felt the singing sensation in his
thigh. The matter will be investigated.

CROWD OF VISITORS
Coming 70 Wichita Today
From Blackwell.
SUPT. D0LAN'S HARD WORK
To Secure Early Completion
of the Santa Fe.

The Santa Fe will run an excursion
into Wichita today from Blackwell. o. T..
and it is expected that the crowd will be
large. The train, consisting OF I'VE
coaches, will leave Blackwell this morn
ing at o'clock. arriving here between
$3.50 and 10 O'Clock. The rate for the
round trip from Blackwell is one fare for
the round trip, and the agent at Black
well says that already 900 have made ar
rangements to come. The band will play
in Hyde park and the city will belong to
the visitors. The excursion is to cele-
brate the completion of the Santa Fe into
Blackwell. the first train having been run
in there Thursday.
The extension to Blackwell is a piece
of progressive enterprise, great credit
to the sagacity Of the management and
to the executive ability OF Mr.. Dolan OF
this city, the superintendent OF the Okla
homa division, and also OF great import
ance to wichita The Blackwell Sun of
last issue gives graphic account OF the
work and the warm admiration OF the
business zeal Of the officials and review
ing the affair gives this pretty notice OF
the energetic superintendent, the whole
article being under a big head on the
front page:
''Only a few weeks ago the Santa Fe
concluded to come to Blackwell and be-
gan making preparations to build on
south from Braman. They were but a
short time in getting the right-of-way
down to this place. Capt, c. 3. Kilmer.
the broad-minded. good-natured. right-of-
way man, has no trouble in settling with
all concerned without condemning them,
and therefore leaves everybody feeling
kindly towards the Santa Fe.
''The road from Hunnewell to Branan
had been constructed on the 12-foot scale,
and the Santa Fe widened the cuts and
grades to 16 feet, and put that part of the
line in excellent shape. From Braman
this way there was but little of the grad
ing done but when the work was started
under the direction of Superintendent F.
T. Dolan, there was no pause or waver-
ing until they reached Blackwell. He mad
a large force of good, honest men who
never shirked a duty and all seemed TO
lend extra effort to the work in order to
win the race. The building Of the bridge
across the Chikaskia required but about
four days. and while 1t is a wooden struc-
ture It Is very substantial and went up
with greater rapidity than anything we
had ever Witnessed before. The track
laying was q grand sight. there being a
double force at work all the time, and
every part Of the work was 50 perfectly
that the whole force worked as
as the wheels OF a clock.
The rapidity with which the Santa Fe
was built to Blackwell is largely due to
Dolan, who encouraged
his men to greater efforts by his smiling
presence and kind words"

Conditions of Trade,

Nothing appears in business or in
money markets to prevent continuance
Of the heaviest trade ever transacted
at good profits. The payment to Spain
is supposed to have caused some rise
in foreign exchange, which would
amount to nothing in any case as
balances due from other countries
more than cover the payment and
advance bills against crops to come
forward in July and later will soon be
offered. Loans on industrial securities
are still at higher rates than on rail
way stocks, but on good commercial
paper or railroad stocks money is in
ample supply and at low rates. Nor
have stock operations caused any ap-
pearance of pressure. The financing
of new corporations has passed thus
far with less trouble than had been
feared, though The completion of
some organizations is hindered or has
failed. Tie usual time for financial
troubles in the spring has passed and
the usual alarm about crops has done
it's work and still industries are I'M
disturbed,

Farms In Northern Wisconsin

are as good, if not better than farms in
any state of the Union. There is no
reason why the intending settler should
60 to distant states in order to secure a
good location. Northern Wisconsin is
rapidly developing, but there are still
thousands of acres of fine hardwood
farming lands open to the settler, which
can be obtained at reasonable figures
and upon easy terms. The soil is of the
best, good roads are being put in, and
school houses are rapidly building.
The immense undeveloped resources
in the shape Of rich deposits of iron ore,
clay, kaolIn and mari, as well as large
tracts of hardwood timber, offer extra
ordinary inducements TO the manufaCt-
urer. The Wisconsin Central lines run
through the timber and minearl belt
thus offering quick and cheap transit to
all the principal markets of the Union.
