v~AccINA1INe THE GROUND
Scientific Discovery Which Will Be Of
Great Help to Farmer -Hater-
ial Free.

One Of the most remarkable dis.
c%overies in scientific agriculture is
set forth in the October Century"
which has just appeared. 1t is
entitled "Inoculating the Ground"
and is an account of experiments
made by DR.. George T. Moore, a
widely-known botanist, and the
head of the Laboratory of Plant
Physiology Of the Department of
Agriculture.
For ages, farmers have noticed
that after a crop of any of the
leguminous plants, such as peas,
beans, alfalfa, or clover, a heavier
yield of wheat can be obtained.
The reason for this was made
plain a few years since by a Ger
man, who discovered upon the
roots of the legumes, nodules filled
with nitrogen fixing bacteria"
A celebrated German, DR.. Noble,
realized that if he could put into
barren ground, some of these
organisms, or if he could artitic-
tally give seeds power to produce
them, themselves, he could make
even barren ground produce
legumes.
His idea lacked practically un-
til it vas further taken up by DR..
Moore. who had been watching DR..
Mobiles experiments with inter
est, and who had concluded that
the nitrogen-fxing bacteria We're
not cultivated in tine right way.
In his laboratory, DIR. Moore has
developed a permanent type of
bacteria. Legumes inoculated
with these. it is found, will grow
and thus help to enrich the poor
est soil.
DIR. Moore's discovery was so
valuable that he could have made
a fortune by forming a company
to exploit it; instead, he patented
the process and then decided the
patent to the Department of Agri-
culture, which now sends to every
applicant, free of charge, enough
inoculating material for several
acres, with explicit directions for
use. The package can be carried
in the pocket, yet does more work
than several cart. loads of fer
tlliZeI.
The article concludes with
actual statistics from farmers who
have made the experiments, and
the best feature Of all is hat the
application does not need to be
made by a trained scientist, as the
results of the work of intelligent
farmers is fully as wonderful.-Ex.

Protection and oRobbery,, y


: "Of course II our opponents are not
sincere in their proposal to abolish
the system of protective tariff. there
is no use in arguing the matter at all,
save by pointing out again that il
on one great issue they do not mean
what they say, 1t is hardly safe to trust
them on any other issue. But IL they
are sincere in this matter, then their
advent to power would mean domestic
misfortune and misery as widespread
and far,reaching as that which we saw
ten years ago. When they speak of
protection as robbery they of course
must mean that it Is immoral to enact

shelbyville, H.. Oct. 2O.-The Mid

while the children were asleep. All

Charles Peterson, eleven years old.
There were thirty-one children sleep
ing in the upper rooms of the home,
that was three story frame and brick

aroused by the smell of smoke and
gave the alarm. The children rushed
to the stairways. but before all escaped
the flames and smoke cut off means Of
egress and several children reached the
ground by leaping from the upper win
dows to the roof Of an extension to
the building. 1t is believed the two
children who were burned were over
come by smoke while in bed, as they
evidently made no effort to escape.

THE ADVANCE
OF JAPANESE
Russian Authorities Think That It
Is Exhausted.
HAS FRESH SOLDIERS
General Geisman Asserts That Up TO
Tuesday Kur0patkin Had Nst
Brought by Far All Re-
serves Into Action.

st. Petersburg. Oct. 2o.-The fash Of
enthusiasm over the capture Of Lone
Tree Hill and Shakhe, repulse OF at
tacks Of Japanese left and the hard
drubbing of General Yamada with the
capture OF fourteen additional guns has
given way TO a calmer and more sober
appraisement of the partial successes.
There was no official confirmation up
to Wednesday noon OF the report that
General Kuropatkin had resumed 8
genuine offensive. but that rather the
general japanese advance had ex-
hausted itself. and the position Of the
armies was a sort OF deadlock. with
the country rendered so sodden by
heavy rain as to compel temporary sus-
pension Of general operations. A COM
plete veil hides movements east. but
both KuroDatkin's and Sakharoff's re-
ports say there were no collisions on
that portion OF the battle-ground Mon
day or Tuesday. Field Marshal Oyama
evidently considers Lone Tree Hill to
be of vital Importance. as both Monday
and Tuesday nights and later during
the terrific storm he made desperate
efforts TO recapture It. accompanying
assaults with demonstrative attacks
against other points. All efforts failed.
Neither Kuropatkin nor Sakharoff. in
dispatches given out Wednesday morn
ing. sent details of the defeat of Yama-
da's column and capture of Japanese
guns. Pitiful pictures are painted by
war CORES pondents of shelterless
troops bivouacked in cold rain on roads
converted into quagmires and streams

Military critics are not yet satisfied
oyama is ready to relinquish the Of
fenslye. expressing the opinion that he
may still try to break through the Rus
sian center in order to compel Kuro-
patkin to retire from the line on Hun
river unless. as they believe. he has
become convinced of the superiority of
Russian numbers and reserves. to make
withdrawal to the line of the Taitse
river advisable.
General Geisman asserts positively
that up TO Tuesday Kuropatkin had
not brought anything like all his regi-
ments of reserves into action. and has
a number OF fresh units behind which
his battered troops could reform ac-

Toxic. Oct. 20.-A report telling of
the disaster to General Yamada and
citing the conditions at the front re-
ported Toxic during the fight is as
follows:
The enemy's infantry, about regi-
