plants not inoculated. but also were twice as rich in nitrogen. In the tops Of the inoculated plants there were from to 1-s per cent of nitrogen in contrast with 2 2-3 per cent In those not inoculated.
 It Is common experience that with out artificial inoculation tubercles usu- ally develop when the same legume Is grown for several years in succession on the same land. At the Illinois sta- ton this process of spontaneous inocu- lation was slow. With soy beans there were no tubercles the first and second year and very few the third, except when artificially inoculated.
 An experiment of much interest to the prairie region of Alabama recorded in this bulletin deals with the practi- cability of inoculating alfalfa with earth from field where melilotus or sweet clover has successfully been grown. In other words, Dr. Hopkins in this bulletin has practically proved what has been strongly suspected from experience. in Alabama. He has no fear that melilotus will become a weed in the alfalfa fields, trusting to the l eradication of this biennial by frequent moving On the other hand last sum- mer in Colorado the writer found that some farmers there had had trouble in thus r1dding their alfalfa fields ot mel ilotus. Their statement was that some of the lower limbs escaping the mower matured seed and thus perpetuated the sweet clover. As the writer noted on prairie soils in Central Alabama the luxuriant growth of meliiotus early in the present May, in spite of the severe drought then prevailing. the question arose whether this quality of hardi- ness did not cover multitude of faults and whether we should not rank meli- lotus higher than ever before. Tn the bulletin alluded to the statement Is made that the nitrogen-fixing bacteria can live in the soil for at least two or three years in the absence of the elant on which they should grow. but that they could probably not survive such a period of starvation extending over fivs or six years.

LINCOLN ON CIRCUIT.
o. Presented n Quaint Appearance
as He Followed the Court.

as He Followed the Court.
Following the court about on the
circuit was no doubt the joy of Lin
coins life. He was so fond of it that
he declined fattering offer to enter
a lucrative law partnership in Chicago,
because, as lie contended, it would ne
cessitate more or less confinement in
the office and therefore keep him off
the circuit. Seated in a one horse bug
gy, behind a sorry looking animal, he
would set out from Springfield, to be
gone for weeks at Il stretch. The law
yers, as he drove into each successive
place, eagerly anticipating new stock
of stories, gave him a cordial welcome,
and the landlords hailed his comm.
with delight, for he was one of the
most patient and uncomplaining Of
guests. ''If every other fellow" re-
lates one of his colleagues, ''grlmbled
at the Indifferent accommodations and
scant fare which greeted us at many
of the dingy taverns we struck, Lin
coin said nothing" His forbearance
in this regard we'll warrants the OBJ
servation he is said on one occasion to
have made-that he never SO complete
ly felt his Gown unworthiness as when
he stood face to face with real, live
hotel clerk"
How he appeared on the circuit may
be CLEANED from this sketch of him
drawn by Henry G. Whitney, one Of
his colleagues in central Illinois: His
hat was brown, faded and the nap usu-
ally worn or rubbed Off. He Wore a
short cloak and sometimes shawl
His coat and vest hung loosely on his
giant frame. His trousers We're inva-
riably too short. In one hand he car
ried faded green umbrella, with "a.
Lincoln in large white cotton or mus
> lin letters sewed on the inside. The
knob was gone from the handle, and a
piece of cord was usually tied round
the middle of the umbrella to keep it
from flying open. In the other hand
he carried carpetbag, in which We're
stored the few papers to be used in
court and underclothing enough to last
till his return to Springfield. Century.

Armstrong Died Brave.

Pleasant Armstrong was hanged at
$3.50 this morning in the jail yard at
Baker City, for the murder of Minnie
Ensminger. Mounting the scaffold, the
condemned man stated that he had
prayed night and day, and he knew that
his sins had been forgiven. As the
black cap was being adjusted, Armstrong
said: "Did you ever see brave man die
You will see one die now" The trap
was sprung and the murderer shot into
eternity without the least treInor of a
muscle.
