FACTS ABOUT GRAPE FRUIT
The First Brought Into This Coun-
try Was the Coarse-Grained
Shaddock.

AS estimable lady lately remarked
that fondness for the grape fruit re-
quired change of heart and a growth
perienced in fullest measure. The fact
remains, however, says the New York
Times, that without other therapeutic
value than would reside in any citrus
fruit washed down by draught OF
water from one of the absurd quashi
and which it was believed by the cred
ulous must be extremely beneficial be-
cause they impaired 1.-The bitter prin-
ciple" to water held in them, and with
natural repugnance to any combina-
ton Of acidity and bitterness to over
come, most people like the grape fruit
very much and find it both agreeable
and refreshing for any one of the three
meals of the day. This is not an af-
fectation, like an alleged preference
for brut wine; nor the liberation Of
something invested with superstitious
value as corrective of morbid condi-
tons. The average person really likes
the grape fruit, and it has come to
stay. To raise fine varieties should
become and perhaps is already much
more profitable than the growing Of
fine oranges. Its possibilities are be-
yond estimate.
The first of it's kind brought into this
country was the impossible shaddock-
coarse-grained, pumpkin-colored, acrid,
bitter, tenacious of it's rind, often juice
less and generally failure from the
point of view of the table for other
than decorative purposes. 1t was short
lived as a commodity admitting Of i'm
portation. The grape fruit followed
tentatively and modestly, as If know
ing that it had the reversed prestige
of the shaddock to overcome. 1t was
admired with suspicion, tested, accept
ed and then welcomed as an invaluable
addition to the luxuries Of the table.
The market now eagerly absorbs at rel
atively high prices all that can be
secured, mourns the off season when
only the reserve in cold storage Is
available and welcomes the advance
couriers Of each new crop almost as
enthusiastically as the first bale of
cotton is welcomed on the southern
exchanges.

ROOTS OF YOUNG ALFALFA PLAN l =
SHOWING NODULES.
per acre has been computed as 122
pounds; in Germany it is estimated at
200 pounds per acre.
The question naturally occurs to tho
farmer who reads of the wonderful work
done by basterial cultures, How can I
benefit by this discovery" TO begin
with, it should be clearly understood
that the nodule bacteria are only USE
full with the plants which nature has
adapted to produce root nodules when
these bacteria are present. These plants
are practically all includes in the legu-
minous or Tesse" family, and the COM
mon forms sown are the clovers, peas,
beans and vetches. Some experiments
have been made by workers in this
country to infect the roots of corn.
wheat, etc., with nitrogen-fixing bac-
terra, but the results were negative in
every case.
Assuming that the farmer has decided
to SOW some legume-alfalfa, for in.
stance-the first question is: docs my
land need this treatment" The answer
depends on several conditions. First Of
all incubation is absolutely necessary
when (1) the land is at all poor or "thin''
and has borne no legumes previously:
(2) the land has borne legumes whose
roots were devoid of nodules. Even in
soils rated as Standard" and capable
Of producing excellent crops of grain,
ETC., legumes lacking nodules frequently
make very poor showing.
&, In the second place incubation is high
" desirable when ~ the legumes pre-
yiously grown on the land belong to an
other group of these plants. For in
stance, Bokhara or sweet clover (Meli-
lotus) and bur clover are the only COM
mon legumes which give evidence of
having nodule bacteria capable of in
fecting alfalfa. Infection of soy beans
grown in the United States was first Sc
cured only after using soil imported
from Japan. (2) The soil produces a
sickly growth of legumes even though
their roots bear nodules. This applies
whether the leguminous crop to be
sown is the same as the preceding one
or not. The introduction of the more
active organisms furnished by pure cul-
lures may solve the difficulty.

Vegetables Under Cheese Clotl

Ve&eCdOAeS OIlOoT V0eeSe C4OC1. y
A number of experiments conducted
by the Canadian experimental farm
showed that lettuce grew quicker out
side the Enclosure. That grown outside
was from two to four days earlier than
that grown inside. Radishes were three
days earlier inside and were perfectly
free from maggots. Beans were earlier
when grown inside and were very near
ly as productive. The conclusion from
the entire experiment seems to be that
cheese cloth Enclosures may be of value
in cities and towns, where it is diff
cult to have garden, owing to injury
from cats, dogs, and even children. They
may also be useful to market garden
ers for growing vegetables which are
affected by root maggots. Z

effect upon soil of leguminous crop
bearing root nodules is to note the strik-
ing differences between crops OF grain
or vegetables that follow legumes and q
similar crop grown on fallow land, or
following a grass or vegetable crop.
This is a matter of such common OBJ
servation that a rotation including
some leguminous crop is the practice
of every farmer who has thought for
maintaining the fertility of his SOIL 1t
is easily proved that part of this benefit
is due to the amount of nitrogen fixed
by the bacteria of the root nodules and
not to the unusual length of the root
system or other peculiarities Of the
plant. Careful experiments to estab-
lish this fact have been carried on by
many of the experiment stations in the
United States, the results all tending to
prove that a leguminous crop affects the
soil which bears it like the addition OF a
considerable amount of itrogenous fer
tilizer. Averaging results obtained in
16 states, the amount Of nitrogen added

the grand trio-the Stomach, the Blood

body, it purifies and enriches the Blood,
and corrects, regulates and strengthens

and these pamphlets were distributed
by the pinkham sons i'll Boston. New

The wonderful curative properties or
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising. for whoever used II
recommended it to others, and the de.
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts. the
family had saved enough money to

small scale, and from that time the
growth and success of the enterprise
was assured. until to day Lydia X.

making this great remedy for woman's

Although Lydia Il. Pirkham passed
to her reward some years ago, the per-
p%etuation of her great work was
guarded by her foresight.
During her long and %eventful expert

work and was careful to preserve q

woman who applied to her for advice

thousands made since, are available to
sick women the world over. and repre-
sent a vast collaboration of informa-
ton regarding the treatment Of wom-
ans ills which. for authenticity and

Another act OF foresight on the part
of Lydia Il. Pinkham was to see that
some one of her family was trained to

in view. for years before her death,
had as her chief assistant her daugh.
