SOIL INCUBATION is NOT UNDERSTOOD

agricultural Wiancko, of the Indiana
experiment station. says:
The many inquiries which come to
the station about bacterial inoculating
material for clover and other legumes
indicate that there exists among our
farmers a Widespread but
notion as to what may be expected to
result from the application of such ma
~1ellais.
Many highly e~Xtravagant claims for
Ejaculation are being made by UNI
s@!Qpulous concerns advertising the
materials for sale. and the farmer is
led TO believe that %inoculating the
seeds of legumeS, or the soil upon
which they are to be grown, With Ger
tain forms of bacteria, is all that is
required tn make them produce enor-
NOUS crops, besides wonderfully en-
1iching the soil. These claims are in
nearly all cases very far beyond the
induced to spend money for something
which will not produce what is claimed
for it.
1t is quite true hat leguminous
plants, of which the clovers are famil-
Ear examples, require large quantities

ugencN of certain forms of bacteria,
which live on their roots, these leg
lines can secure their needed nitrogen
from the air in the soil. The bacteria

and produce small tubercles or nodules
IN which the nitrogen of the air is

STICK TO TYPE IN HORSE sReFn.
INC

Probably one of the strongest factors
acting against profitable horse breed
ing is the failure of farmers to stick to
type, the indiscriminate selection OF
slres, ~patronizing a sire because he is
owned by a friend whom the breeder
WISHES TO help. the failure to study the
laws that govern breeding, and of an
attempt to produce an ideal.
Breeding is not a thing of chance.
1T is governed by certain natural laws
with which every breeder should he
conversant. These laws are, unfor-
tuhately, not absolute, there are many
devlatlons, some of which are hard
to account for, at the same time they
act with -.aasonable certainty. and the
breeder " 40 studies them carefully,
n exercises reasonable intelligence
IN mating his mares. While he may
be disappointed occasionally, will. on
the whole, be favored With a fair meas
ure OF success. Or the other hand. the
breeder does not give the matter due
consideration, does not study, or neg
iects the laws mentioned, but breeds
indiscTiminately, without regard to the
type or individuality of his mares. will
be disappointed in a large percentage
of his attempts.
The object of the breeder should be
to produce something better than the
dam. and to accomplish This he must
stick TO type.
