SOY BEAN ROOTS SHOWING TUBERCLES.
far as known. had never before borne
soy beans. not q single tubercle was to
be found.
Just why the tubercles should not ap-
pear the first year and should appear
In large numbers the second Is not at
present easy TO explain, but the fact Is
important as Offering an explanation
of the disappointment which some
farmers experience with the plant.
Planting a second season on the same
land appears to be necessary to get the
soy bean at work as a nitrogen fxer.
In soils deficient In combined nitrogen
the crop is at first likely to languish
because of failure to develop root nod
ules.
The nodules can be grown artifcially
the first season. Ii was demonstrated
In our plots in 1901 that the tubercles
can be grown In great numbers on the
roots of soy beans by the use of pure
cultures Of the tubercle bacteria.-H.

The "white Faces" on the Range.
As a breed the long specialization of
the Herefords for beef production has
operated to give them a less general
distribution than the Shorthorns. but
the strength OF the breed lies in this
very fact. Its value for grazing pu-
poses and for prime beef production
commands attention. The close uni
formity Of type Is also noteworthy.
Though among the first breeds to be
introduced Herefords were little known
in the United States until the opening
of the range country. The impetus
which this gave the cattle trade
brought them into prominence. and be-
ginning about the year 1880 q rapid
growth has put the white faces second

and almost supreme on the range.

ON THE SOUND IN 1S4o.

Noting an interesting letter about early steamboat travel on the Hudson, thought that trip on the Sound about 1S40 might also interest some of your readers The writer, then a lad of ten, was visiting his relatives in Dari- en, Conn.,, about forty miles from New York, by water. Returning home, he took passage on one of the market sloops from a place called Rings End Landing, where there were then four CT five stores, also a tidewater four mill. Two sloops left weekly for New York, carrying what produce the farm- CTS had to sell, such as hay, potatoes, apples and cider; also many pail of butter made by the farmers wives, in oak pails of ten to fifteen pounds, the handle of which had their initials carved on it. Some of this butter was equal to the creamery production of the present day and was eagerly sought for by the city purchasers. The market or

PURE WATER.

E d[- + '- a sailing day was quite a lively time. The landing was crowded with the wagons and carts of the farmers bring ing their products for shipment, and the stores did a thriving business.
 ' Many people availed themselves of these vessels to visit the city, and the writer was one. The time of sailing was always at night, at such hour as wind and tide favored The channel out to the Sound was narrow and wind ing, and on the east led to what was then called Long Neck Point, afterWard Collender's and now Noroton Point, on which are the residences of John D. Crimmins and many other citizens The accommoda on these boats were very small There were only four berths on each side of the main cabin, and as many in the after cabin for wo- men. It was expected to make the trip in the night, and to find one's self at the. dock in the morning, but many times the sloop got more than half way dur ing the night. The writer always en- joyed the sail down by T'hrog's Neck, and the passage through Hell Gate, then the terror of navigators, where lit tie boats with their pilots did a paying business. BlackWeIl's s Island was then covered with elegant country seats of wealthy citizens. On the New York side the shot tower at Kips Bay, then past the numerous shipyards in full 3op- eration, thence around the Hook to the landing at James slip. where most of the market boats were noored, and the voyage was over.-Letter to the New York Sun.

FELL ONE THOUSAND FEET.

Marvellous Escape of Mary Stafford,
 Parachute Jumper. l.-. z.-
 Falling like shot one thousand feet with a parachute that didn't work right, smashing a lirnbyoff a big tree in which she struck and plunging down through the tree into the arms of hor-tt ror-stricken men who stood beneath, Miss Mary Stafford completed her first. attempt at balloon ascension Sunday af~ ternoon at Wildwood Park, Danielson, Conn, and a few minutes afterward was walking about with her usual nerve and conaposure. Miss Stafford screamed as she reached the ground, and admits that she came near fainting in midair while shooting toward the earth.
 A large crowd gathered at the park to witness a double ascension and para chute drop. Professor Stafford and his sister, Mary Stafford, after the custo- mary preparations, made an ascension together. They got up safely about one thousand feet, when, at his direction, the woman jumped out with her para chute, leaving him to follow. s 3> Her parachute did not work properly and she dropped toward the earth like lead for about three hundred feet. Then the parachute partially opened, but the woman did not know how to manipulate it we'll, and was terrified by her fast descent. <
 The spot where she fell was over a part of the park that contains a num- Der of tall trees. Her downward course, but little retarded by the parachute, brought her into the top of large tree, against one of the branches of which she struck with great force.
 The limb gave way and Miss Stafford, who had by this time let go the para chute, slipped and slid down between the branches, unable to catch any of them. She fell into the arms of men who ran to catch her. They saved her from touching the ground, but she bafe- ly missed landing on the back of horse that was being led past the tree at that instant.
 The moment Miss Stafford could catch her breath she let out one scream that shook the nerves of her rescuers. ,
 Everybody who saw the fall thought the woman was badly hurt, but she had no injury beyond some bruises re- ceived in the tree. Her escape from death is considered by those who saw the accident little short of miraculous The tree broke the force of her fall, but how she managed to escape without broken bones she does not know.
 Professor Stafford's parachute opened all right when he descended, after he saw she was not killed, and he reached the earth in safety-Providence Jour- nal.

to this country. That is the prelude, now for the play. Minister De Witte regards the action of our treasury de- partment as arbitrary and breach of the principles governing existing com mercial treaties. But M. De Witte is not given to the expression of merely pious opinions. He does not raise the matter for the sole purpose of scolding our treasury department. Far other wise. His purpose is this: If, he says, the Russian legislation makes it possi- ble for Russian sugar refiners to sell cheaper abroad than at home, and if this fact constitutes bounty, as the United States asserts, then bounty is likewise constituted by all American legislation which enables American manufacturers to sell cheaper in Europe than in America, as it is notorious that they do. Typewrlters, sewing ma- chimes, nails, wire rope-to mention only a few articles-are sold in Europe for less than what we have to pay for them here, and this in virtue of the tariff vail, which is thus equivalent to an enormous bounty paid to the trusts. Then, quick as flash, follows Minister De Wittes conclusions. Either Rus sia's position as to sugar is valid, or all American exports are bounty fed, and thus liable to tremendous countervail- ing duties at the frontiers of every Eu- ropean state. It remains for the forth coming conference to decide which al- formative is true.-Harper's Weekly.

RussrA's SUGAR ARGUMENT.

Minister De Witte's letter on the trusts is the central theme of European politics, and bids fair to become a, world issue As it's drift has been ob- scured by ill-instructed newspaper re- ports, we had better dwell at some length on it's real meaning Our read- CTS will remember our tilt with Russia several months ago, on the subject of the sugar bounty. In Russia the sys- tenn is this: All refined sugar is liable to an internal excise duty, as salt is in Austria or liquor in England. All su- gar refiners pay this excise tax on their total output; but for all sugar they ex- port they receive certificates entitling them to repayment or rebate from the treasury. Under these conditions Rus sian sugar pays no duty whn exported
 but in the strictest sense it also re- ceives no bounty. Russian domestic sugar pays an excise duty, and this is a definite encouragement to Russian re- liners to export. Our treasury depart ment, it will be remembered considered that this encouragement was in fact a bounty, and promptly laid countr- vailing duty on Russian sugar imported
