While many of the principles connect
ed with soil incubation are not well
understood, 81 is generally recognized
as necessary to add cultures Of desira-
bic bacteria to soils where they do not
already exist. This may be accom-
plisled In one or two years; either by
means Of artificial cultures or by the
use Of soil from fields where alfalfa
has been grown successfully. Probably
the method Of soil inoculation is the
with uniformly good results. 1t is
very important TO make certain that
the plants growing in the soil to be
used are well supplied with nodules.
Alfalfa does not produce nodules as
freely as cowpeas and soy beans and
it will be impossible TO discover the
nodules by pulling up the roots. To see
them il Is necessary to take shovel
or spade and dig deeply into the soil,
lifting the roots gently and separating
the earth therefrom. The nodules will
appear as little whitish, rounded balls
on the feeding roots and occasionally
on the main tap root. Make certain
that the nodules are present in the soil
to be used as the medium Of inocula-
tion and your chances of success with
alfalfa win be greatly increased. One
to two hundred pounds Of soil to the
acre will be sufficient to secure inOcula-
tion. Mix with the seed or scatter
broadcast over the land and work in
with the harrow or sow through the
fertilizer attachment of any ordinary
grain drill. Inoculation is always best
accomplished before seeding. and larg-
er amounts Of earth will render inoc-
ulation more certain. II is often very
difficult and expensive to obtain earth
because Of the scarcity of alfalfa fields
and the objection on the part OF farm
ers to digging up the soil. Most per-
sons who have it for sale ask 81 a
hundred pounds for 1t and the freight
in addition makes it a considerable
item
In sections Of the country where al
falfa has not been cultivated patches
Of sweet clover Melilotus alba) or burr
clover (Medicags Maculata) may be
found. Investigations made at the H.
linois and North Carolina stations in
dicate that the bacteria which live in
association with these plants are SINH
lar or identical with those found in the
nodulfs on the roots of alfalfa, and
that soils taken from fields where eth.
er ono of these clovers has been sue.
cessiully grown will inoculate land in
tended for alfalfa. In many places
burr clover is grown with profit as
winter pasture, and IL alfalfa is sOwn
on this land the following year it
should be well supplied with the nee.
essary bacteria. Sweet clover might
he sown on land where difficulty has
been experienced in getting alfalfa. for
owing to its hardlhood 1t would often
succeed where alfalfa would fail. and
thus pave the way for the successful
incubation Of the latter crop. One se-
rlous objection to sweet clover is the,
fact that 1t seeds very freely, and upl
less carefully clipped so as to preveN
seeding IT may become a weed pest. As
1t is a biennial it can be destroyed by
vigorous clipping for two years.-Pro-
fessor Soule.

The thousands of discouraged peo-

For 81 years, from the month of
August until heavy frost, l have

IMMENGE CROWD
At PERFORMANCE

An immense crowd attended the
entertainment at the park casino
Monday night and from every stand-
point of success it was big event.
The house was crowded to its ut
most capacity and the management
was highly pleased with the recep-
ton given Miss Belle Emerson, the
negro impersonator.
Miss Emerson did some very
clever work and wildly portrayed
the character of the negro both be-
fore and after the Civil War, and
the customs and incidents of the
race. From the standpoint of his
tory the entertainment was replete
with instruction. There was plen-
ty of wit and humor, considerable
comedy and every thing to amuse
and entertain.
Owing to inability to get proper
electrical attachments the illustra-
tons of the Sunny South We're
crippled, but this has been overcome
and tonight the pictures will be
shown.

Driven to desperation by the
West Virginian our own Owen at
last says he is the editor of tbs
Times, for is it not a fact that he
will not admit that Walter Barnes
was the man who did such marvel
Gus things in campaign against
Captain Dovener, and again, there
was no Democrat down there who
dare run for the legislature except
Owen-not even Jim Fowler. The
Telegram has said for a long time
that Owen was the editor of the
Times. but it was always denied in
way, but now we have it dead to
rights; the Times says so itself,
though it may not mean to and will
doubtless repent soon for having
made the admission.

The Fairmont Times is getting
ready to be as silent as the Sphinx
on the new tax laws. For months
it was rampant about them but now
lit saws, sit is too early to figure on
the permanent and substantial re-
suits of the new tax laws Prior
to the laying of the levies and the
action of the state board of public
works, that paper was very busy
telling about the permanent and
substantial results of the new tax
laws. But now no one really
blames it for trying to get away
back and sit down, since it has made
the brag that it prides itself on It's
veracity and fairness.

A little more money spent on
roads will not be regretted, provid-
ed that money is spent properly. All
road surveyors should take the NJ
most pains with. the roads. Make
them the very best possible, as the
Telegram has insisted not only
these many months but also several
years. Do not dig and pillow deep
bitches, where the rainfall does not
warrant; take water sheds into con-
sideration as well as proper drain
age. Again, do not fill the road
with humps of dirt, which in time
become only mud. Furthermore
let the stone count. In many places
limestone can be gotten almost as
cheap as sandstone. 1t lasts almost
"a lifetime. Why not get it, instead
of the stone that crumbles into mud
in d.sipgle twelve months? Again.
the gram has repeatedly talked
ABOUT proper macadum, but in some
p1aees finds boulders of sandstone.
Why not use little muscle and
cfiush them to proper size? Road
building is of vast Importance these
days and those who undertake it
should make it study. That leads
to the suggestion that every road
surveyor in the county should read
works on the question? How many
of them even take a paper or period
zeal on the subject?

The county court did not buy the
Industrial bridge: that body should
now see that the other way into the
city from Industrial, Grasselli and
other points is put in passable shape.
1t has been some time since there
has been a decent road 1t will be
no better until the court looks after
it. The people out there are en-
titled to the privilege of getting into
the city without driving through
mudholes or paying a toll to 60

not especially taking to the idea Of
crossing the bridge to help some one
else, or an enterprise from which
they have received no benefit. 1t is
the duty of the county court to see
that the Philippi road is made as
good as it used to be. and it is in
the power of the court to see that ii
is done. The matter should have
been attended to before the court
adjourned the June term, because

The proposition just now is how
the city can make some of these old
line franchisers. who paid nothing
for their franchise, dig up. since it
is the reputed sense of so many that
no one else can get a franchise nm
less they dough. Wonder if it is
not a fact that the city gave lot
of fellows the privilege to erect AMI
maintain poles. but is there any
reason or specifications, why the
poles should not be taxed fifty cents
apiece after they are erected. Every
telephone pole, every other pole that
does service in the city is worth far
more than fifty cents year. Here
is a good way to get rid of the civ
debt. All those who are so worked
up over the fact that there may he
competition in public utilities here
voluntarily come up with fifty cents
on the pole and keep your atcs
down, and there will be no one who
Will want-a franchise.

not to be measured by doings Of other

"Ah. my lord!' protested Ta-meri,
Mortified.
Har-hat shrugged his shoulders and
lapsed into silence. Rameses leaned
toward Masanath again. The express
sion on his face during the talk and
the tone he chose now showed that he
had not heard nor was even conscious
of the silence that had fallen. His
words were low spoken, but each of his
companions heard.

because he knew he had been heard,

At this point it was seen that the
