INocULAnloN FOR LEeUMEs.
Something for Farmers to Ponder
Where the Trouble is.

auu OIHeI IeSumeS are perhaps
more often due to the absence in
the soil in which the seed is sown
of the particular micro-organisns
which enable such plants to OBJ
tain and utilize atmosphere
nitrogen than to any other cause.
As a rule clover is sown in i'm
poverished soil, whose improve
ment is the principal reason for.
seeding it to crop which ''helps
the soil.'' When the soil needs
clover it is deficient in nitrogen.
All legumes require this element.
in available abundance for their
best growth. +
Sown in soil markedly de6c-
lent in nitrogen and devoid of its
specific bacteria none of the
leguminous crops will make salts
factory progress. The plants
will be yellowish and siekly aud
succumb without much resistance
to winterkilling.
Inasmuch as many soils do not
contain the proper bacteria for
the particular legume which it is
desired to grow, artificial inocula-
lion is the only method whereby
they may be introduced: To
German scientists agricultural
nations are indebted for this valu-
able discovery, though modern
American investigators have car
ried the work to a more useful
and practical goal than their
foreign examplars. The latter
are the authors of nitrogen cu1-
lures which were designed for the
different common legumes and
placed on the market decade
since. These proved ineffective
in most cases, but the idea of pre-
pairing cultures was a good one
and the investigators continued
to develop it until cultures were
prepared which have been suc-
cessful almost without exception
in introducing the organisms de-
sired.
1t is now known that each
legume, as clover, alfalfa, cow
pea, the soy bean and vetch has
a microscopic organism peculiar
to itself which enables the plants
to appropriate atmospheric nitro
gen and thus improve the soil.
These organisms create and in
habit nodules or tubercles, rang
ing in size from a mustard seed
to garden pea, which are at
tached to the plant roots. The
tubercles are storehouses of nitro
gen which the bacteria translate
into nitrates, in which element it
is appropriable by the plants.
Clover without tubercles is as
truly a soil-robber as corn, and
except in soils already rich in
nitrogenit will not thrive in the
absence of its bacteria. The
same is true of COW fpeas, alfalfa
and soy beans. But different
kinds of bacteria are necessary to
produce root tubercles upon differ
ent kinds of legumes. For this
reason the function Of each group
of bacteria is mited te one vari-
tety of plant. Tbs acA,, ans why
one legume may not thrive where
ianother has grown luxu1iantly.

made and good contribution for

Washington, ID. C.-My Dear Old
Skate: l didn't tell you in my last
about the fun we had getting here.
We were on the ocean wave two days,
because the whole country was flooded
from the rains, and dad walked the
quarter deck of the Pullman car, and
hitched up his pants, and looked
across the sea on each side OF the
train with a field glass, looking for
whales and porpoises. He seems to
be impressed with the idea that this
trip abroad is one of great significance
to the country, and that he is to be
a sort of minister plenipotentiary,
whatever that is, and that cOun-
try is going to be judged by the rest of
the world by the position he takes on
world affairs. The first day out of
Chicago dad corraled the porter in a
section and talked to him until the
porter was black in the face. l told
dad the only way to get respectful
consideration from a negro was to adj

give any personal letters to his
friends, the kings, but that dad could
tell any of them that he met that he
was an American citizen, and that
would take him anywhere in Europe,
and then he got up and began to show
his teeth at dad again, and dad gave
him the grand hailing sign of distress
of the Grand Army and backed out,
dropped his hat, and in trying to pick
it up, he stepped on it, but that made
it look better, anyway, and we found
ourselves outside the room, and a lot
of common people from the country
we're ready to go in and talk politics
and cat shooting.
Well, we looked at pictures, and saw
the state dining room where they feed
so diplomats at a time on mud turtle
and champagne, and a boy about my
size looked sort OF disdainful at me,
and | told him if he would come out
side | would mash his jaw, and he said
| could try it right there if | was in
a hurry to go, and | was starting to
give him a swift punch when a detec-
tive took hold of my arm and said
they couldn't have any scrap there,
cause the presidents son could not
fight with Common boys, and | asked
him who he called a common boy, and
then cad said we better 60 before wal
broke out in a country chat was lily
prepared for hostilities on a large
scale, and then | told a detective that
dad was liable to have one of his spells
and begin shooting any minute, and
then the detectives all thought dad
was n of these president assassina-
tionia:s, and they took him into a
oom and searched him, and asked
him a whole lot of fool questions, and
they finally let us out, and told us We
better skip the town before night. Dad
got kind of h~eavy-hearted owe. that
and took a notion he would like to see
ma again before crossing the ,Tiny
deep, SO you will have the Joy Of seeing
your little angel again sooI. This
weakness of dads made me hot, for I'm
looking for a warm time in New York
and old Lunnon, but dad was obsti-
nate, so home we go for a little visit
before risking Jul precious lives in an
ocean palace car. So long.

Well, this morning dad shaved him.
self, and got on his frock coat, and his
silk lat, and said we would go over
to the white house and have a ELK
with Teddy, but first he wanted to go
and see where Jefferson hitched his
horse to the fence when he came to
Washington to be innogerated, and
where Jackson smoked his corn cob
pipe. and swore and stormed around
when he was mad, and to walk on the
same paths where Zachariah Taylor
lacked, Buchanan catched it, and Lin
coin put down the rebellion, and so we
walked over toward the white house, and
| was scandalized. I stopped to pick up
a stone to throw at a dog inside the
fence. and when | walked along be-
hind dad, and got a rear view of his
silk hat, it seemed as though l would
sink through the asphalt pavement,
for he had on an old silk hat that he
wore before the war. the darnedest
looking hat | ever saw, the brim
curled like a minstrel show hat, the
fur rubbed off in some places, and he
looked like one of these actors that
you see pictures of walking on the
railroad track, when the show busts
up at the last town. l think a man
ought to dress so his young son won't
have a fit. l tried to get dad to go
and buy a new hat, but he said he was
going to wait till he got to London,
and buy n just like King Edward
wears, but he will never get to London
with that hat, cause tonight I will
throw it out of the hotel window and
put a piece of stove pipe in his hat
box.
Well, sir, you wouldn't believe it, but
we got into the white house without
being pulled, but it was a close shave,
cause everybody looked at dad, and
put their forefingers to their fore
heads, for they thought he vas either
a crank, or an ambassador from some
furrin country. The detectives got
around dad when we got into the ante
room, and began to feel of his pockets
to see if he had a gun, and one Of
them asked me what the old fellow
wanted, and | told them he was the
greatest bob cat shooter in the west,
and was on his way to Europe to in
vite the en1perors and things to come
over to this country and shoot cats on
his preserve. Well, say, you ought to
have seen how they stepped one side
and waltZed around, and one of them
went in the next room and told the
president dad was there, and before
we knew it we were in the presidents
room, and the president began to curl
UP his lip, and show his teeth like
some one had said rats" He got hold
of dads hand, and dad backed off as
though he was afraid of being bitten,
and then they sat down and talked
about mountain lion and cat shooting,
and dad said he had a % rifle that he
could pick a cat off the back fence with
every time, out of his bedroom win
dow, and began to look around at the
pictures. Dad and the president talked
about all kinds of shooting, from mud
hens to moose, and then dad told the
president he was going abroad on ac-
count of his liver, and wanted a letter
of introduction to some of the kings
and emperors, and queens, and jacks,
and all the face cards, and the presi-
dent said he made it a practice not to

SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers.

The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS a result the inquiries made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
panies are putting on increased carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to a
most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West.
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr.. Geo. M. Girls
void, of Red Deer, Alta, formerly OF
Grever, Montana, written on the I'd
of January, is as follows:
81 am located one and one-half miles
from a beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two post offices.
The fine stock, both cattle lcows and
s%teers), horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat, grazing in pasture to-day,
just a little snow, hardly enough for
good s%leighing, as we just had a Chi.
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat. oats, barley and flax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co.
lumbia. This is a mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get a foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine,
clear, soft well and spring water at a
depth of from 5 to 25 feet, and lots of
open eve flowing springs"
Telegraphic advices from Medicine
Hat say that seeding has commenced
at Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and 9TH
er points. At the former place the
temperature moderated gradually I'M
til on the 10Th the maximum was As

lows: Goth, At and 80; 21st, 81 and

During the last few days in Febru.

borty about the same amount. Rev.

ing his farm. All report the ground

B~ricklaying has also begun in town.
At Hartney, further east, on the 25th
of February the sun was warm and
bright, wheeled carriages were in use
and the plowed fields look as If they
are ready for the press drills. There
is every appearance that spring has
arrived, but farmers do not wish to be
deceived by appearances and conse.
quently have not commenced to use
their bluestone and seed wheat.

our porter was unuusally attentive to
a young woman on the car dad hauled
him over the Goals, and scared him so
by talking of hanging, and burning in

from dad he came to me and asked if
that old man with the red nose and
the gold-headed cane was as dangerous
as he talked. l told him he was my
dad, and that he was a walking dele
gate CT the Amalgamated Association
of Negro Lynchers, and when a negro
did anything that he ought t be pun

took charge of the proceedings and
saw that the negro was hanged, and
shot, and burned up plenty. But l told
him that dad was crazy IN the subject
OF giving tips to servants, and he must
not fall dead when we got to Washing
ton if dad gave him a $50 dill, and he
must not give back any change, but
just act as though he always got $50
from passengers. Well, you'd a dide
to see that negro brush dad so times

minutes to wipe off his shoes, but he

with the porter, whom he accused of
stealing them. The doctors told me |
must keep dad interested and excited,
SO he would not dwell on his sickness,
and did, sure as you are a foot high.
Dad stood it till almost noon, when he
came cut of his berth with his paja-
mas on, these kind with great blue
stripes like a fellow in the peniten-
tiary, and when he went to the wash
room | found his pants and then he
dressed up and swore some at every
body but me. We got to Washington
all right, and l thought j would bust
when dad fshed out a nickel and gave
1t to the porter, and we got cut of the
car before the porter came to. and the

Almost every newspaper tells of cures
of the most deadly of kidney diseases by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. Bright's Disease,
Diabetes, Rheumatism and Bladder trou-

kidneys or caused by disordered kidneys
is readily cured by this great American

But it is in curing the earlier stages of
kidney complaint that Dodd's Kidney
Pills are doing their greatest work. They
are preventing thousands of cases of
Bright's disease and other deadly ailments
by curing Kidney Disease when it first
shows its presence in the body.
Speaking of this work Ex-Sheriff James
