A prominent physician tells this
story at the expense of the modern.
craze for specialization in the medical
profession. a poor woman went to q

son, who had had one of his fingers
smashed. At the first room where she
applied she was told by a curt attend
ant that the boy could not be treated
there.

solution will have cloudy appearance
and is ready for use. To inoculate
seed:
Take Just enough of the solution to
thoroughly moisten the seed. Stir thor
oughIy so that all the seeds are touched
by the solution. Spread out the seeds in
a shady place until they are perfectly
dry, and plant at the usual time just
as you would untreated seed. The dry
cultures as sent from the laboratory will
keep for several months Do not pre-
pare the liquid culture more than two
or three days previous to the time when
the seeds are to be treated, as the solu-
ton once made up must usually be use&
at the end of 43 hours.
To Inoculate Soil:
Take enough dry earth SO that the
solution will merely moisten it. Mix
thoroughly, SO that all the particles OF
soil are moistened. Thoroughly mix
this earth with four or five times as
much, say hasf wagonload. Spread this
inoculated soil thinly and evenly over
the field exactly as if spreading fertiliz-
er. This should be done just before
blowing, Or else the inoculated soil
should be narrowed in Immediately.
Either of the above methods may be
used, as may be most convenient.
Enough germs are sent in each little
package to inoculate seeds for from one
to four acres. The package can be car
ried in your pocket, and yet does more
work than several carloads of fertiliZ-
err It costs the government less than
four cents a cake, or less than a cent an
acre, and saves the farmer $50 or $40
which he would have to spend for an
equal amount Of fertilizer Different cul-
lures are sent for different crops. The
results have been surprising.

tica, but There Win Be Few Fights

At 10 o'clock this morning the county
republican convention win be called to
order by George C. Fulton. chairman
of the county committee. Temporary
organization viii be effected. commit
tees appointed. and adjournment taken
until p. m. That no business Of i'm
portance win be transacted at the
morning session seems certain. for.
while many country delegates are al
ready in the city, many others win not
arrive until the noon train gets in.
The arrival of delegates from the
outlying precincts was the signal yes
terday for lively political demonstra-
ton. During the entier day there was
nothing talked of but politics. and
groups of politicians were conspicuous
on the streets and in the hotels. The
fact that this is presidential year has
lent additional interest to the situa-
tion, which has ben rendered the more
pronounced by the probability of a.
warm fight over the nomination for
sheriff.
Linville the Strongest Man.
On all sides it is agreed that Tom
Linville will establish new record
today by getting the nomination for
the third time. His nomination is re-
garded to mean that he will unques-
tionably be elected, in which event he
will have served three full terms and
an unexpired term. He has now been
in Office for five years. and election in
June viii add another two years to his
tenure of Office.
Some of the country delegates who
reached the city yesterday expressed
a desire to support Linville at today's
convention. but said they had been told
by local politicians that he was not a
strong man. These delegates felt con-
strained to support the strongest man
available for the place. and were anx-
ious to learn whether or not Linville ]
could be elected. I

declared Linvllle would not run well
this year, because he has already held
