WASHINGTON. Dec. i2-President
Roosevelt last night eliminated him.
self finally and completely from con.
slderation as possible Republican
candidate for the Presidency in 1908.
when he issued statement reiterat.
Ing the position he took on the night
of the election of 1904. when pub.
lie statement was given out that he
would not again accept Presidential
nomination-that he considered the
three and one.half years following the
death Of President Mckinley to be his
first term, and that to which he was
elected in 1904 his second term. Last,
nights statement will have the effect
OF shutting on the third term talk for
good and all. without doubt
The statement is as follows:
ION the night after the election Of
1904, ! made the following announce
ment:
am deeply sensible OF the homer
done me BY the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in
what have done and have tried to
do. / appreciate to the full the SOL
emn responsibility this confidence I'M
poses upon me, and I shall do all that
in my power; lies not to forfeit 1t. On
the fourth OF March next + shall have
served three and a half years, and
THIS three and etsif years constitute
my 'ffst term. The wise custom
which limits the president to two
terms regards the substance and not
the form. and under no circumstances
win be candidate for or accept an.
other nomination"
II have not changed and shall not
change the. decision thus announced"
1t appears that the President had
been awaiting the call for the Repub-
lean national convention to afford the
proper opportunity for making his
position clear and unmistakable, thus
leaving the field clear for Fairbanks,
Taft, Cannon. Knox. Foraker and
other declared or receptive candidates
for the Republican nomination.
:, Administration Republicans declare
that the announcement gives a great
impetus to the Taft boom, while the
Democrats. many Of the leaders OF
which party are here to attend the
meeting Of their national committee
to-day. are shouting that 1t means
Bryan In walk"
Speaker Cannon. when shown the
Presidents statement, said:
"The President speaks for himself.
1t would be useless and inappropriate
for me to interrupt the Presidents
words"
Senator Foraker. the only other de-
clared candidate who could be seen
last night, said:

TREE TRIMMING.

A good many of our readers will like ly want to trim up the shade trees in the home lot or yard this spring. and a suggestion or two touching the mat ter may not be out of place. The c..u, hackberry. ash and some other varie ties may be trimmed at any time fro.a late winter on. The hard and soft ma pie and box elder. on the other hand. should not be trimmed until the sap has stopped flowing. and this occurs when the leaves are from half to two thirds grown. All limbs should be cut as close to the tree as possible. except that large limbs should be first cut at q point a foot or two from the trunk of the tree and later cut off as close as is desired. Handled in this way, the bark of the tree will not be stripped down, as Is so often the case where but one cutting is made and that close to the tree. Where the wound made by cutting is large it is we'll to paint it over. This will exclude moisture and prevent decay.

THE WHY OF IT.

A reader of these notes makes in- quiry if much benefit is derived from blowing under a crop of clover in the fall after the seed is sown. Provided the clover had got a good start and stood thick and heavy on the ground, there might be some advantage in it, but the benefit derived would be in- considerable as compared with allow ing it to stand. taking off a crop of hay the following June or early July and blowing under the second growth early in September. The chief value of the legumes as soil renewers lies in the fact that as their root systems develop they become storehouses for nitrogen. which is gathered from the air through chemical processes and is deposited in the shape of little nodules at points on the roots. It is on this account that the blowing under of clover the first year would not be of material value, the root systems being too immature to have accomplished their beneficial work. While the crop of clover taken off the land might not fetch the money return that a crop of corn would. the benefit resulting from allowing the land to rest and from blowing under vigorous root systems. coupled with the value of the one crop of hay. would materially outvalue any single crop of corn.

WHERE THE LEeuMEs COME IN.


 X thoughtful reader of this depart writes stating that he is much inter- ested in nitrogen in the air as plant food and how to get it." citing the we'll known fact that the air Is com posed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen roughly In the proportion of so per cent of the former to 20 per cent of the latter element, with some other elements constituting the very small remaining portion. He asks, when the does not deposit nitrogen as plant food, and also asks If such a condition of affairs does not furnish an addi- tional reason for thorough preparation of the soil. The position of our core spondent is entirely correct, and his questions should be answered in the affirmative. The nitrogen in the air by delicate chemical processes is con- stantly being appropriated by growing plant life not only through their branch and leaf but root systems as we'll. This fact in itself not only fur nishes ample reason for q thorough preparation of the soil at the time of planting, but is at the basis of the whole philosophy of soil cultivation all through the growing season. This problem of nitrogen in the air as plant food and how to get It. is in large measure solved by the plant fam fly known under the general name of legumes-the clovers. alfalfa, beans, peas and allied plant types. They have a faculty of appropriating this nitrogen In the air, both that above and below the surface of the ground, and depositing it at different points in their root systems. This deposit is so considerable that giving land the "clo- yer treatment" Is usually considered equivalent from the standpoint of fer tility of manuring it at the rate of ten loads of barnyard manure per acre. If more farmers understood the true inwardness of this problem which our friend presents, nitrogen in the air as plant food and how to get 1t" and were as interested in solving it as they are to get hard cash for big wagon loads of wheat, oats, corn and other grains sold in the raw state. there would be far less demand than there is for bulletins from the federal and state experiment stations on commer- cial fertilizers md how to restore de- pleted soil fertility. Thorough culti- vation of the soil, so that plants can appropriate the nitrogen in the air, and the growing of legumes, which are ni- trogen converters, are the only natu- ral methods of accomplishing the re- suits so much desired.

A DISASTROUS EXPERIMENT.

Not all experiments conducted in the name of science and for the benefit of humanity have had fortunate out come. A notable illustration of this fact is the curse of the gypsy moth. specimens of which were brought to this country in 1869 by Professor Trou- velot of Harvard university in a series of experiments which he was conduct ing with a view to discovering some wild silkworms which might prove a commercial importance. Unluckily heavy wind blew the covering from the tree in which these moths were feeding, and they were scattered
 While a number of them were destroy ed, enough escaped to propagate an army of the moths that the New Eng land states have expended hundreds of thousands of dollars to exterminate.

FIX THE CHIMNEY.

The careful householder. whether liv- ing in town or country, will make a thorough inspection of the flues and chimneys of the house before stoves and furnaces are started full blast for the winter months. The doing of this now and making necessary repairs in the way of entirely new chimneys or ce- menting of old ones will prevent the family's being routed out of warm beds by an alarm of fire some night during the next few months when the thermometer Is 15 below zero. A se- rious feature of fires originating in the above manner is that they are as a rule in inaccessible places and get un- der good headway before they are dis covered and water can be got on them. Fix chimneys and save burn out.
