Food of Root-Tubercle Bacteria.

AS yet our scientists know but lit
tie regarding the great world of bac.
terra that has been opened to us in
this generation. We have supposed
that the tubercles on the roots of pod
bearing plants were supplied their
nitrogen by the bacteria, which took
it from the earth and from the air.
When lime has been added to soils,
the bacteria have in many cases been
more vigorous, but this was judged to
be due to the naturalization of acid by
the lime. 1t may be, however, that
these bacteria actually use lime and
magnesium as a part of their food. A
French professor, H. Flamand, has
been making some experiments in the
development of tubercles with wa
ter cultures. The different kinds OK
pod-bearing plants behaved very diff
ferently. Thus, vetches refused to
produce tubercles, unless they were
supplied with magnesium, while both
vetches and beans showed they must
have either lime or magnesium If they
were to produce tubercles. Potash
salts and lime salts stimulated the de-
yelopment of the root tuberc!es. Now
the question is, do the bacteria re-

SEWAGE Farms,

In many countries of Europe the
large cities are disposing of their
sewage by means of sewage farms.
A large part of the sewage of
Paris Is disposed of in this
way. The results are excellent, and
the fertility is so readily available for
the use of plants that some of the sew
age farms produce three crops of com.
men garden truck per year. Such
thiags as lettuce grow well and sell
well. There is no prejudice against
the vegetables because they are
grown on the sewage farms. 1t was at
first feared that people would be
afraid of disease germs, but the clos
est investigators were unable to de.
tect disease germs in the products.

Vitality of Seeds.

The practice of sprouting seeds
between layers of plotting paper
does not give absolutely accur-
ate results, except to show what
per cent of the seed will germin-
ate under those conditions. II lot
of seed be divided into two portions
and one lot be placed between sheets
of wet blotting paper and the other be
actually placed in the ground, the lat
ter lot will show a much smaller per-
centage of termination than the 9th.
er 1t is one thing for seed to sprout
under ideal conditions; 1t is quite an
other for seed to sprout under hard
conditions, which obtain frequently
when the seeds are covered with
earth, and are put in at varying
depths.

Plowjno In the Fall.

I do not believe that blowing
in the fall can be recommended
for all soils and localities, but
do believe it should be more
generally practiced by all farm
ers than it is. always do all of the
fall blowing that l possibly can, es-
pecially where intend to put in corn
the coming spring. If sod is turned
under in the fall the amount of plant
food will be greatly increased for the
crop the next summer. / have also
noticed that there are not as many
cutworms, grubworms and cornroot
worms the next@pring as there were
the spring before if the ground is
plowed in the fall Every pest that
the farmer can get rid of he knows it
to be for his own good to do so. The
surface of fall plowed ground is drier
in the spring at planting time than
ground not so treated and some farm
ers might think that it does not con-
tain as much moisture, but find that
1t does. The rainfall is enabled to
better penetrate the sub-soil which al
lows the surface Of fall plowed ground
to dry more rapidly. If you have not
experienced fall blowing, try it, and
you will find that fall plowed ground
has drier surface and contains more
moisture at planting time in tie spring
than ground which has not been
plowed In the fall. believe In locali-
ties where there is much rain during
the winter, it is better not to harrow
the fall plowed ground in the autumn,
especially where there are fine clay
soils that run together and pack down.
If we have dry summer we will find
that fall plowed ground will yield
better crops than spring plowed
ground. S. Underwood, Johnson
Co., H., in Farmers Review.

West de- clared to Sir Joshua Re1nolds that he was going to clothe the figures in this picture in the style of garments which they actually wore at the time, and Reynolds predicted failure of any in- novation so bold.
