for asking a question himself
How many b. T. c. people plan
10 increase the interest and value of
their work this year by using the
rich stores of school material placed
at every hand by nasureS II should
be your pleasure, il certainly is your
duty, to do so, for every time you
direct a child's attention to some
common wonder or beauty in nature
that il has never seen before, you
have deepened its interest in its
home and school life. You show il
that school is not merely a place for
a dull book grind, having no con
nection with life about it, but a place
to bring experience and observation
of common things to use in a new
and interesting way. But there are
so many things for the country
teachers to do that you might not
have time to plan this, 80 let me
help you.
Suppose we begin with a leaf.
Suppose we have a picture drawn Of
oneY Yes, after a while, but not
now. Ask your pupils some even
ing to bring you two bottles OF
exactly the same size and shape;
iiavoring extract bottles are good.
They will gladly bring them, and in
the morning you will bring twig OF
some kind-an oak or maple is good
with about six leaves on it. Tell
the children you want to find out
what leaves do. They must dc
something, for nothing in nature is
useless. Tell them, too, that the
language classes are to watch very
closely so that they will be able to
write about what you do; the
geography classes that they may
learn some geography; and the adj
vanced arithmetic people, so they
can help you later on; and everyone
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1905-06-22

else because you are going to find
out something quite wonderful about
leaves.
Fill one bottle full up into the
neck, and put your twig in it; then
fiji the other to exactly the same
point, and set them side by side on
your desk, taking care to prop them
both. This may be done best by
cutting holes in a small paste board
box and slipping them into it. Now,
the children are to wait until the
next morning and see how much
water the leaf has drunk.
But why have two bottlesS Some
bright boy will tell you, perhaps,
because the water will evaporate
from the bottle" So, to see how
much the leaf drinks, you must see
how much less is in one bottle than
in the other at the end of the day.
If some one does not, you can bring
them to see it by asking if any
water will get out Of the bottle with
no leaf in it. This is all for the
first morning. The next morning
you will find that every child has
looked at the bottles before school
has opened, so when you call them
to order you will only have to find
out how much water the leaf has
drunk.
Take a bottle exactly round or
rectangular and fiji it part full of
water Mark the height of the
water with bit of paper, and pour
from it into the bottle with the
leaves in it until it is exactly as full
as the one which has no leaves in it.
Then measure the depth of water
poured out and let your arithmetic
class measure the bottle and find
the volume of the water poured out.
Then you will know just how much
water six leaves will drink in one
day.
IL there is room | will show much
more use for this experiment next
week.

JENNIE LESTER HILL, Rditor
Fruit Trees Planted For Ornamental
Purposes.


Some kinds OF fruit trees are fully
as well suited 10 serve as adornment
to our homes as many of those trees
and shrubs which do not bear fruit.
An apple tree laden with rosy and
fragrant bloom in springtime is indeed
a lovely sight and reminds us in a
most delightful way of its presence.
When the heat Of summer comes, what
a comfort is the shade of its spreading
branchesl And when autumn colors
and mellows its fruit iI becomes still
more attractive. A cherry tree, with
its shower of bloom and later its crop
Of glossy fruit, is a charming spectacle
in the house yard. And so we might
go on hunting list of trees that are
both beautiful and useful that could
be planted on the parts of our grounds
where il is common to use only shade
trees.
In choosing fruit trees for ornamen-
tai purposes the greatest care should
be used to be sure that only such as
will grow well under sod treatment
and into graceful forms when they are
large should be selected. For most
places those OF rather spreading habit
will be found 10 give better satisfac-
ton than the tall ones because of their
shade. Now ard then tall growing
pear or some other tree serves a very
good purpose. OF these the Buifum
pear is one Of the best, for it is so very
tall and hardy and its leaves turn a
bronzy crimson in autumn. The Red
Astrakhan apple tree makes a thick
shade, and its fruit is not surpassed for
family use. A Seckel pear tree does
not grow fast, but it is hardy and of
graceful form, and there is no fruit of
better quality.
Peach trees do not often flourish I'M
der the conditions that usually prevail
on lawns, but plum trees are better.
Ounce trees when well started by till
age or mulching will usually do very
well In grass, make handsome, bush.
like trees, and their flowers, foliage
and fruit are all ornamental and the
latter very useful.
Some OF the bush fruits may be
made TO serve good purposes as border
shrub and screen. A clump of rasp-
berry bushes, if kept well pruned back
and the old canes cut out promptly,
will produce well and bear an album
dance Of fruit. The same is true of
blackberry gooseberry and currant
bushes. The dwarf juneberry is also
well suited TO the same use. All these
bushes should be well mulched with
coarse manure aud lawn clippings. A
well kept strawberry bed is a pretty
sight at almost all times of year, no
matter how small. Good judgment
and reasonable care will make a few
fruits about the house yard both
beautiful aud useful. II. McFar-

Van Amburg Show.

Berea has been billed for the great
Van Amburg's Show which will give
two performances here on Monday,
June 20. They have been attracting
large crowds at Richmond, Lancaster,
and other points in Madison county
during the past week or so. No
doubt a large number will be in
Berea next Monday to witness their
performance here. The managers
promise honest dealing, and a free
dom from any swindle games usually
in attendance on such occasions.
Those who attended the performance
in Richmond speak highly of the
character of the show as a whole and
of the general conduct in and about
the tents. 1t is we'll to remember,
however, that frequently rough
element follows in the wake of a
circus, over which the managers of
the concern have no immediate con-
troll, and for whom they are not re-
sponsible. These sharpers make a
living at the expense of those who
suffer themselves to be "bamboozled'
into some confidence game, or carry
their pocket book in too convenient a
place for safety. A good plan to
follow on such occasions, is to "ayoid
the very appearance of evil" and
bring no superhuous cash with you.

bean is sown on good ground for the
first time the roots are free of knots;
that il the sewing is repeated the year
after, the knots appear and increase
with each successive sowing. In the
innocence of his heart he had recon-
ciled this fact with the universally &C
cepted teaching that rotation of crops
is natures preservation of the soil,
and that these increasing knots we're
her protest against his practice. Most
old men are welded to their ways, and
their difficulty may be appreciated
when they come to struggle with the
proposition that knots on clover root
are the things that gather the nitro
gen, the more knots the more rich
ness, and that there are more of these
when clover quickly follows clover.
There is also current and widely &c.
cepted belief that we fail with clover
because by repeated sowings we have
made the soil "clover sick" This be-
lief goes back at least as far as the
current literature of the writer's
knowledge, and it is awful to contem-
plate bow falacious was and is this
theory in the face of the present light,
if it is light.
Germany was the pioneer country in
the nitrogen nodule propaganda, and
all went lovely as loLg as it was
free distributor. When the farmers
paid their hard earned marks for this
precious seed the kicking began, and
the couture" industry went out like a
tallow dip in tempest, We are
thrashing the same straw. The pic
lures in the government bulletin-No
ll4-of how the plants looked before
and after inocculating are paraphrased
in those OF the "mustache powders"
with which, in the daily papers, we
are all familiar. The reports Of those
who got cultures free are interesting,
but those who, for the same, paid two
dollars per acre, will have more
trouble in securing equal publicity,
and these might not be so assuring.
The writer and farmers generally are
not equipped TO consider this occult
innovation in many of its bearings,
but what a fund of valuable practical
knowledge they can gain by carrying
gardan trowel or chisel in the hip
pocket when they study the stand of
their clover in the bottoms and on the
CALLED knolls. The nitrogen nodule is
said to make grow clover where none
would grow before. If this be true,
it is indeed like the metaphorical
pelican that in times of stress bleeds
its own bosom to feed its young 1t is
too bad not to be a scientist, but why
these considerate nodules are so
abundant in the rich bottoms and so
scarce where they are so badly need
ed is not clear to the plain man with
the trowel or chisel, and il is up to
his learned brother to explain why,
when culture" of the right kind is
scattered around abundantly there is
so much where it is not needed and
SO little on the poor starved pelicans
suffering ON the sand piles.

The Farm
sILAs cHRRvER MASON, Rditor
Nitrogen hodules

Some years ago German scientists
discovered that certain organisms at
tached to the roots of large family
of plants known as legumes. Ii was
well known that this particular fami-
IN greatly increased the fertility of
land by abstracting nitrogen from the
air and leaving it, in part, a content of
the soil. Other plants had not this
power nor the root nodules and this
fact suggested the theory that the nod
ules really gathered the elusive nitro
gen. Experiment seemed to verify
this hypothesis. 1t was evident that if
the nodule germ or seed could be rails
ed artificially and then made grow
where none grew before, that the dis
coverer of the method would be real
benefactor. Such cultures were made,
became an article of sale like any
other seed, but German farmers who
bought and paid for this seed declared
that its purchase was money wasted
and that for the time ended the mat
ter.
During this time l,r. George L.
Moore, head of the department of
plant physiology at Washington, care
fully studied this complex question,
made other discoveries, planted
them, but, like philanthropist, made
his patents a gift TO the Government,
that the fruit of his labor might be
heritage TO the tiller of the soil. The
Government then began the produc-
ton of his culture and distributed it
for time to all applicants free of cost.
In October last DR.. Moore published
an interesting article in the October
Century, which reached the cultured
people Of the country and was repub-
lished by every journal in America.
The farm papers offered it as of the
greatest value to their constituency,
and journals of every other kind as
news and a discovery Of inconceivable
value. In the entire history of agri-
culture or of mechanical art no dis
covery was so quickly heralded and
promulgated among all classes of PEG
pie. The Government having hedged
its bantling, retired for the time from
the prohibition of cultures, but gave
endorsement, quisi or otherwise, to
laboratories which offered them for
sale, retail to the farmer and whole
sale TO the dealer in seed. This is a
concise history of a matter that has
profoundly stirred the farming world.
There is no desire on the part OF
the writer to travesty the value OF
this discovery. He wishes to say
frankly that he is not scientist, but
only plain, practical tiller OF the soil,
anxious to make two dollars where
he could make only one before, If so
desirable a contamination can be at
tanned by this culture. AT the same
time he is not willing to spend many
dollars in the purchase of this new
tangled seed until he has calmly inves-
tigated the published claim of the
Government, the statement of those
who generate the seed and those who
sell it, like all others the farmer
needs. He has known for ten years
that ON certain legumes these knots
grow spontaneously, and they can be
found ON red clover roots anywhere
that the soil is fairly good. He also
knows that when the Southern COW
