power Of the plants of the nitrOgenOus
class to appropriate the free nitrogen
of the air and store it up in their tis-
sues in such a way that it is more or
less readily available TO the succeeding
crops. Prominent among plants which
have this property are the cloyers,
peas, beans and vetches. These are the
farmers friends, the nitrogen collect
ors. Concerning cover crops and the
orchard, Professor John Craig OF Cor
nell university has summarized his in
vestigations as follows:
The orchard is to be viewed in the
light of a specific crop.
Humus is essential to the liberation
of plant food
Barnyard manure supplies organic
matter, but is often beyond the reach
Of the orchardist.
Probably the ideal system of orchard
management includes clean tillage and
a cover crop in the annual programme.
Effects of tilIage and Of cover crops
are similar in many respects, but while
both tend to make plant food available
the cover crop may actually add to the
store
The cover crop prevented frost from
penetrating the ground deeper than six
teen inches as compared to twenty-one
inches on bare ground.
The percentage of water in cover
cropped ground compared favorably
with bare uncultivated ground in Iowa
and New York
The texture of the soil and subSoil is
much improved by the burrowing hab-
its Of the earthworm and the penetrat-
ing character of clover roots.
The cover crop prevents surface
washing and injurious erosion of or
chard lands.
\ comparison of the fertilizing quail
ties of the clovers, cowpea and hairy
vetch placed the last far in the lead,
with alfalfa and mammoth clover sec
ond and third in manurial value.
Hairy vetch appears to be a valuable
leguminous plant for cover crop pur-
poses. 1t is hardy, deep roofing, grows
at low temperatures and produces a
dense mat of vegetation on the surface
of the ground
Cowpea is particularly valuable for
a system of standardization and as part
of a combination crop.
OF the nitrogen consumers rye and
buckwheat are OF most Importance.
Oats are favorably spoken Of in some
parts of the country.
Certain mixtures are used to advan-
tage. Alfalfa, mammoth clover and
turnips have given satisfaction, but
oats and crimson clover do not sue
ceed.
The cowpea is a japanese bean. 1t is
tender annual, a rambling, vigorous

DreaHca Made Over.

There is no doubt that women who
have a talent for dressmaking have a
chance this year of rearranging their
gowns of last season very successfully.
Many gown that has served for more
dressy purpose is now being cut to a
walking length and made to do its duty
in another direction. Many silk skirts
can be worn this year yeiled with net
or gauZc, and there is much excellent
looking lace, which is not real, that at
a very small expense would trim up
bodice. The empire style Of dress lends
itself to renovation, forming an over
gown falling in an unbroken line from
the waist to the foot some Of the
gowns with tight sleeves, last worn for
full morning dress, can be comfortably
adapted for home dinner wear, the
bodice opening in V form in front
and the si,.Eys crt half their depth,

Somebody has said that Paris is the
most beautiful city in the world be-
cause it has the most beautiful trees.
1t cannot be denied that very great
part of the beauty of Danville is III
her trees There is something about
fine shade trees in city that operates
for decorative purposes just as fine
furniture, fine carpets and fine freScO
work do to make the interior of a
house attractive. Every man who owns
place. which is devoid of trees,
should, even if the has no eye for the
beautiful i'll nature, understand that
shade trees add to the value of prop
erty and accordingly transplant some
to his bare plot of ground Certain
kinds of shade trees grow quickly and
the ornamentation resulting is always
a pleasing and rcstful sight.
What would Danville do to-day, if
it were without shade trees? How
would its appearance under such cir
cumstances compare with its appear
ance now when the streets are fringed
with stately NAPLES, attractive poplars
and ornamental shrubbery, with COM
paratively few exceptions? Trees are
not only beautiful; they are useful.
They provide grateful shade in hot
davs and they have their sanitary uses

PROTECTION OF WORDS.
A Plea For a Rest For Our Familiar
Quotations.

In these days when everybody is
writing and everybody seems to sue
ceed would 1t not be well to start a
society for the protection OF words and
phrases? Many Of these are SO bru-
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words, the words that burn,
the thoughts that breathe, the telling
phrases, do they not clamor loudly 70"
rest? That very sentence affords an
Illuminating example Of what l mean.
How apt, how vivid how expressive 1t
would be IL all its epithets had not lost
their vitality through oyerwork! To
the stated reader the whole sentence Is
but the echo Of an echo. 1t not merely
means nothing, but it is robbed even OF
its sound and fury.
The greenhorn that complained of
Hamlet" that 1t was too full Of quota
tons uncOnsciously expressed a great
fact through the medium Of bull. In
O wrongheaded way he pointed out that
constant reiteration has reduced the
grandest passages IN the language to
mere commonplaces. Give our familiar
quotations a rest. Lay TO sleep our
household words. Let fortune for
awhile cease to favor the brave. Let
us feign that the poet is made. Let a
man who would steal another's thun-
der be arrested for felony. Let US win
no more golden opinions. Let the ia
rored few withdraw TO some select Sc
cluslon and the countless thousands to
some dry eyed privacy.
Thus may nouns, adjectives and
phrases. after long rest, reawaken
with the freshness of the morning upon
them, their original meanings recreat-
ed, energetic, effective, brilliant, as on
the day when they were first conceived

EerfIlizinR Tomatoes.

The impression is quite prevalent
that the tomato does not require heavy
manuring. Experiments that have been
conducted at a number Of stations
show that the tomato is a plant that
quickly and proftably responds to the
use { manures or fertilizers and that
the ma 'urity and yield are very largely
infuencee by the method of manuring
and fertilizing. Experiments conduct
ed by the New Jersey station have
shown nitrate Of soda to be one Of the
best nitrogenous fertilizers for this

There is story told of General Grant
when pleb. Hehhad just entered OH

classman who had noticed the boys
strong build intimated to him 1t would
be a pleasure to have him call tpme-
diately at the seniors tent. Grant
went. There is a rule at West Point
which was rule then as we'll that any
cadet who asks another to perform
meniaI labor for him shall be dismissed
from the service. The first classman
knew too much to ask his pleb. visitor
outright to do anything Of the kind,
but here is the way he went at It:

lived on Il farm, and, this being the
case, you have had undoubtedly good
opportunity to note the effect Of the

get warped and leaky."
Very good, Mr.. Grant. You show

you Will notice my water bucket, You
will see that It is as dry as a chip
Now, by the further exercise Of your
knowledge, Mr.. Grant can you tell me
by what means | may prevent the

"Have it filled" said Grant.
VERY good again, Mr.. Grant, but
note that you said have it filed not

some one must fill it for me. You have
shown 50 much aCumen that | fear
