for us, but mainly what we do for our selves that makes us what we are.
DOUBLES THE
 CROP.

NitrO-Culture is germ, sold in dry packages like a yeast cake. When seeds are sprinkled with the solution before planting, the germs multiply in the soil very rapidly, and cause nodules to form on the roots of plants. These nodules collect the nitrogen out of the air, and feed the plant roots. A tre- mendous increase in crop is bound to come. Just see what the United States government says: ''The im- mense yields of wheat following alfalfa or clover are easily understood when it is realized that there has actually been added to the soil a certain definite amount of nitrogen in such form that the wheat can be benefited by it. Thus it will be seen that it is worse than useless to attempt to grow any leguminous crop without being certain of the presence of the bacteria which enable the plant to fix free nitrogen. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that unless the bacteria tubercles are present the leguminous crop is of ab- solutely no more benefit to soil than wheat or potatoes. Certain regions are practically devoid of the right kind of bacteria, and unless some artificial means of introducing the germs be re- sorted to the crop will be a failure" On poor or sandy soil, any leguminous (pod-bearing) crop, such as clover, alfalfa, beans, peas, vetch, peanuts, etc., can (provided good seed is used) be more than doubled the first year, by merely moistening the seed with solution of Nitra-Culture bacteria and allowing it to dry on the seeds before planting. Perhaps the greatest bene- fit may be derived the second year
 when any crop, such as wheat, corn, cotton, potatoes, etc., may be planted without fertilizer, and they will yield double what would otherwise be taken from the same land. Many persons claim that in money value this would be equal to S20 per acre, or that like amount would have to be expended on phosphates, capable of producing equal

 The spread of the telephone into the rural communities of Connecticut, and indeed throughout all New England, is one of the interesting signs of the times, and the coming season promises to bring greater development in the service. Farmers lines, so called, are now radiating from the centers reach ing little hamlets here and there, and by having dozen or more instruments on line the company is able to make a low rate for the rental of the instru- ments, and the result is that there are many subscribers, who would probably never feel that they could afford a phone at the regular exchange price. This comparatively new branch of the New England company's business is an application on a larger scale of the system for number of years in suc- cessful operation in the hill towns of western Franklin county, Mass, where the Heath telephone company has grown up from small local enterprise to system which now connects a number of towns and villages, and is constantly reaching out for more busi- ness. The value of the telephone to the farmer and his family is coming to be more and more appreciated, and the various extensions, at the same time, increase the usefulness of the whole connecting system. This is the touch with the doctor and the pig world be- yond which breaks the desperate isola- tion of remote rural life as it was in former days-and marvellous benefac. tion it seems to all who have known country life by personal experience. In THE BEES territory the first rural town where the telephone service be. come universal among the farmers was Washington. There the Southern New England Telephone Co., service was introduced, as the result of the energy of s. F. Seeley, citizen of that town
 Since then the Southern New England service has been extended through NeWtown, Watertown, Roxbury, Sher
 man, Monroe, Easton, Bethlehem an6
 Woodbury. The independent Wood
 bury Go. is furnishing excellent service to about 2so patrons in Woodbury anc Southbury and have pushed out into the edges of Newtown, Middlebury and Waterbury. Manager Seeley o1 the Washington division is now push
 ing the s. N. B. service through War
 ren, and we look to see the same com
 pany cover Kent, which now has but one or two phones in the town. The telephone has certainly revolutionizet
 rural life, robbing it of the isolation
 which has been a bugbear to many.

Loss of appetite always results from faulty digestion. All that is needed is a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
