Green Manurina Crops.

There are many soils that are not
benefited by green manuring crops.
Such soils are those already rich In
nitrogen and In humus. An investiga.
tion by the University of Illinois has
shown that on many of the soils In
Illinois an addition Of humus and of
nitrogen would be positive detri-
ment. This leads to the remark that
we must have n reason for every farm
operation. The green manure crop
Is needed on the soil that is deficient
in humus and nitrogen, but Is labor
lost on many other soils. 1t Is obvious
that we cannot lay down rules that
can be followed blindly on all farms.
The green manuring crop is valuable
where. 1t Is needed, but worthless or
worse, where 1t Is not needed. The
intelligence OF every farmer must de.
termine the necessity for each opera.
tion on the farm.

Success With Alfalfa.

success with AIfdIfa. I
Previous to five years ago most of
the attempts to grow alfalfa in ILL
nois and neighboring states had re-
suited In failures, but since that time
there have been many successes, and
these successes have led many far.
mers to embark quite heavily in the
growing OF alfalfa. To large extent
perhaps the successful growing of this
depends on the proper incubation OF
the soil with the bacteria that makes
the nodule In which Is gathered tho
nitrogen from the air to be changed
into form that can later be used
by the rootlets Of the plants for food.
The sending out by the Illinois ex,
pertinent station OF large quantities
or inoculated soil has been a step in
advance and has commenced the ino,
culatlon OF the soil in many widely
separated sections. In the meantime
the apparent fact that the bacteria
that works on sweet clover is the
same that works on alfalfa Is another
sign pointing to the successful grow
Ing OF alfalfa In states where 1t has
been little grown in the past.
There are many sections of I'LL.
nois and Michigan where the writer
has seen sweet clover growing in
abundance, and 1t Is very likely that
alfalfa on such lands will prove sue.
cessful. Perhaps one reason why al
falfa has not in the past done well
on such lands Is that the bacteria on
the sweet clover did not come into
contact with the roots of the alfalfa.
Sweet clover does not in the main
grow in cultivated fields, but by the
hard roadside. In fact It is averse
to cultivation. We would suggest to
our readers that those living in
region where sweet clover grows
thickly by the roadside should SOW
some alfalfa In cultivated field and
carry some soil from the roadside
where the sweet clover grows for ino-
culation. and at the same time plant
a patch of alfalfa in place distant
from the places where the sweet clov.
er and other alfalfa are growing, but
on tho same kind Of soil. This latter
will be check plot by which the
success OF the other treatment can
be judged.
A few cases of this kind will prove
of little value, but there should be
several hundreds Of farmers that are
In position to make this experiment
this spring. The results may be far
reaching. for II way is found tn
grow alfalfa successfully in the coun.
ties where 1t Is not now grown 1t will
add immensely to the profits of the
farms in such localities.

CANADIANS HOLD CUP
AMERICAN CHALLENGER FAILS
TO WIN THE SEAWANHAkA
TROPHY.

Montreal, Aug. 1.-THE Canadian
yacht Noorna won the fifth of the
series and deciding rae Wednesday,
defeating White Bear, the American
challenger. by 2 minutes and 4S Sec
onds. and the Royal st. Lawrence
Yacht club retains possession of the
much coveted Seawanhaka cup. Al
though there was quite a difference
between the pair at the finish, it was a
shift of conditions that gave the race
to Noorna. AS the yachts jockeyed at
the start there was a fair eight-knot
breeze with very little sea, and while
this continued during the first round,
White Bear led. The challenger had
a substantial lead on the first beat and
although some of it was lost on the
run, the American boat was some dis
lance ahead when the leeward mark
was reached. While beating up the
second time the wind freshened up to
twelve knots and kicked up a fuss on
the lake. White Bear failed to
weather this so well and was outfooted
to the mark. White Bear did we'll on
the run, but when they went about
Noorna had the best of it all through.

FIRERUGs IN LEWIsTowN.
Two Fires Believed to Have Been
Started by lncendiaries.


Lewistown, Aug. 1O.-The whole
town is aroused over the suspicion
that frebugs are at work here. There
have been two fires within a week.
n the similarity of the two and the
TACT that both fires occurred at about
2 O'Clock in the morning, and in build.
1ngs In which there had been mo fires
LOT more than a day, lends strength
TO the superstition that they are of
incendiary origin.
AT 2 o'clock Saturday morning the
house of H. B. Mcdonald was discov.
cred to be on fire, and it was only
by the hardest kind of work that the
building was saved. The next fire
was at 2 o'clock Monday morning in
the wagon shop run by Jackman in
connection with the blacksmith shor
owned by Mat Weber. No one had
been IN either shop all day, and there
were no fires in the stoves or FORCES
No clew to the incendiaries ha
been discovered, but if the men are
caught it will go hard with them. fo,

Paris, Aug. 11.-Former Premier
Waldeck-Rousseau died at 2:45 O'CLOCK
Wednesday afternoon at his country
residence at Corbeil, eighteen miles
from Paris, from the effects OF an
operation, which his medical attend
ants deemed to be a final necessity.
A similar operation, which was per-
formed in Paris some months g
proved partially successful n the
former premier was well enough to be
removed to Corbiel, where 1t was
hoped rest and the effect of the coun-
try air would restore his strength.

Gated and NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau's con-
dition during the past few days be-
came much aggravated, the patient
having frequent Authorizations and
displaying extreme weakness. Ihe
family called in two famous liver
specialists, Professor Hans kehr, a
German, and DR.. Armour, a Canadian
surgeon, who decided that since the
liver had ceased to perform Its func'
lions an immediate operation was the
only hope of saving the patients life
The operation was performed under
chloroform by Professor Kehr, assist
ed by DR.. Armour and three French
surgeons. 1t at first appeared that
the operation would prove successful,
but the pulse became more feeble and
despite the administration OF inJec'
lions of serum, M. Waldeck-Rousseau

Green Diamonds.

Considerable interest. writes a cor
respondent, has been aroused In Jo-
hannesburg by the discovery on a min
ing property at Klerksdorp Of a green
diamond Of about three-quarters carat.
The gem had slipped into a crevice in
the iron plates of the crushing mill
and was found during the dismantling
Of the mill to make room for a new
stamp battery.
In 1898 yer seventy similarly color
ed diamonds were found upon the
same property. They had all slipped
between the dies and escaped destruc-
ton. It is conjectured that many 9TH
er green stones got crushed out Of ex-
istence. For the first time since that
date the Klerksdorp G. and D. COM
pany proposes to resume operations
on this particular ground, which con
tains both gold and diamonds, and the
prospects Of unearthing more OF these
green gems are being eagerly watch
ed from the Rand.-Philadelphia Rec

CHOICE MISCELLANY
High Rents.

He is indeed a lucky man who owns
building property within the four mile
radius Of London. for he can command
a small fortune in the way Of rental
for his houses. shops or offices, as the

not in the west end Of London, as
many people imagine, but near the
Old Lady of Threadneedle street.
Some time ago one room near the
Royal exchange let for between $4,000
and $4,000 q year. while a house
agent who advertised certain proper

An Judge.

An eminent English judge some
years ago caught himself mapping Of
the bench. He had nodded for some
minutes over his notes. His head col
lapsed with a jerk in the direction of
the desk, and he awoke. He opened
his heavy eyes and looked angrily
around. Summon the caretaker," he
said. The caretaker vas summoned.
"What do you mean, sir, by permitting
such an intolerable temperature in this
court?" demanded the judge. "Open
the windows at once If ever you per-

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE monthly
report of the chief of the bureau Of
statistics Of the department OF agri.
culture will show the condition OF
corr on Aug. l to have been 1873, as
compared with 1914 last month, 1871
on Aug. l. 1903.
Preliminary returns indicate a win

bushels; or an average of 1913 bushels
per acre, as compared with 1913 bushels
per acre last year, as finally estimated.
The average condition of spring
wheat on Aug. / was 87.5, as COM
pared with 93.7 last month, I'll on

average of 81.2.
Rust has made its appearance In a

that reference is made to 1t. and such
reports being somewhat conflicting In

Ancient Corn Terminated.

Several years ago in exploring an
Indian mound in the southwestern
part Of Missouri a quantity of corn
was found" says the Jamesport Ga
zette. "Some of this corn was planted,
and to the surprise Of all it terminated
and matured. How long it had lain
in the mound, on which large trees
were growing. no one can conjecture,
probably several hundred years. Last
fall the Gazette editor secured a hand
full of this corn and now has a dozen
hills Of it growing in his garden. The
grains are about the usual size Of field
corn, but are of a deep brown mottled
with yellow"
