INOCULATING THE SOIL
Deductions from Recent Experiments Made
by Government Stations

Soil incubation is receiving conSid-
cradle attention over the country at
the present time, and, though some
doubt has been entertained in regard
to the claims made in it's favor, exper-
iments at the several agricultural ex-
pertinent stations demonstrate that in
oculation of the soil is no longer a
theory but fact The Kansas expert
ment station last year made extensive
experiments with soy beans, and has
published it's results in bulletin No. 6,
which is a very interesting document.
For the benefit of those who desire to
satisfy themselves it may be men
toned that by examining the roots of
such plants as clover, alfalfa, beans
and peas one will usually find scattered
over their exterior surfaces tubercles
of various sizes and shapes. These
tubercles are with very few exceptions,
peculiar to a certain order of plants
known as 'Ieguminosae." The tuber-
cles are the outgrowths of the plants
themselves, and are produced by the
action of certain micro organisms
working within the tissues of the root.
Formerly these tubercles were consid-
cred abnormal appendages, and as in
furious to the plants, but late rim vesti-
cations revealed the fact that where
these tubercleS were wanting the plants
did not make the growth that was
mades by plants where the tubercles
were present. These tubercles are the
homes of minute microscopic bacteria
bacillus radicicola Beyer,) and they
have the remarkable property of TAX
ing free nitrogen from the atmosphere
and trasforming it into available COM
pounds for plant food. This is what
makes the leguminous plants so val
liable as soil enrichers and specially
priced for green manuring. Each plant
has it's special bacteria, as the organ
ism producing tubercles on the pea or
bean will not produce tubercles on
clover and alfalfa, and vice versa.

The Hindu Chfld.Wife.

A Hindu child-wife divides her year
unto two intervals, one Of which she
spends with her parents, this being q
sort Of vacation time, and the other she
spends at the house Of her husbands
parents, this being the time Of daily
downright drudgery. Village girls In
Bengal blacken their teeth with mishi,
D coloring powder. The lips are black
also, and this is supposed to make them
exceedingly charming.
Writing letters, especially to her hus-
band, is thought to be fearful immod-
esty in a Hindu girl; and she has no
chance Of improving her mind by in
telligent conversation with any one.
She must write to her husband, though
she has to do 1t by stealth in the night.
The moon Is i1er lamp, stick out Of
the domestic broom her pen, the Juice
of the puin berry her ink, and proba-
bly, the dried leaf Of the banana her pa
per. A Hindu girl must always keep
the inner apartment Of the house. She
is only let out when she goes to draw
water for the household either from
the pond or the we'll or the river.
Hence the waterside is great feini-
nine resort, a sort Of women's club,
where there is much gossiping and
plenty Of stolen leisure.-Christian Reg
lister.

A Plea Tor Tea.

Mature is, after all, to be depended
upon pretty thoroughly" said Chi
cago physician who has made study
Of the effects Of tea on the system. For
example, it is the exceptional person
who Graves tea at breakfast, time Of
the day at which it is least needed and
Is frequently most injurious. Tea with
dinner, too, is not to be recommended,
because even If perfectly made there Is
sure to be little fannie acid in it's CON-
position, and the stomach, in attempt
ing the digestion Of heavy meal, Is
much better without this principle.
"After 5 o'clock, however, the hour
that fashion and custom agree in pro-
yiding tea, is an hour that is also prop
c. and favorable to the system. The
supply of energy with which the day
Was begun is about exhausted, and a
cup Of well-made tea Is often refresh
ment and tonic that Is both acceptable
snd desirable" e."-Chicago Chronicle.

How the Young Elbow the Old.

"The part Of wisdom Is not to drop
ones tasks too early, not to be In haste|
to retire from posts Of influence and
duty" writes Margaret e. Sangster In
the Ladies' Home Journal. "Insensi-
bly, the young, with a certain uncon-
scious arrogance, elbow the old out of
the way, and monopolize the places in|
every profession and branch Of bust !
ness. Yet the young are not doweredI
with experience, nor have they the
ripper judgment Of maturity. But they
do have what age has often lost-en-,
thusiasn, self-confidence and pluck.
Old people are sometimes out Of touch
with the present age. They have
ceased to be receptive; they have
grown mentally inhospitable and inert,
Is there, however, the slightest reason
why woman should rust out through
mere Incidence before she has done the
full measure Of service required by her
Master for the time in which she lives q
AS a teacher, as an artist, as q house,
mistress and mother, in whatever field
you are, my friend, do not withdraw
from active duty too soon. There Is
need at the front for the woman of
warm heart and trained capacity for
affairs, and her age is Of little conse-
'quence If she is equal to her work
There never was time when the
Judgment Of mature age was more
needed than it is to-day"

Millions Of Mining Money.

Charles Sweeney of Spokane was in
the city last night, accompanied by the
agent of eastern capitalists who represent
millions of mining money. The noted
visitors were en- route to Buffalo Hump.
Mr.. Sweeney alone represents nearly a
million of capital now invested and set
aside for use in this one camp. Other
companies are preparing to initiate Mr..
Sweeney with almost equal expenditures.
The best informed mining men say the
country tributary to Lewiston has passed
the experimental stage. II is now estab-
lished that the most extensive deposits of
commercial ore in the world, to be found
in like area, are to be found in this dis
trict. The expenditures of this year
in this district will amount to more mil
lions than all the mines of Idaho will
produce in bullion in the same time.
This investment will be the beginning of
our harvest and it begins at once. This
money paid for mines and for the build
ing of roads and the development and
exploration of ore deposits will be rich
harvest the country will receive as first
installment of regular income.

fork in very good location for conven-
fence.
