If you fake it up iu the right spirit Is tonic for mind and spirit as well as the body. If the effort goes no further than main- taining a radlsh patch the size of good sized pocket handkerchief or couple of boxes of geraniums on a bal eony fl may be made to afford one much pleasant mental recreation. Nhy nots Few of us know as much or fhe everyday plants of the field and garden as We should Any one who has stha- led a geranium CT lettuce plant in comprehensive fashion has acquired very fair basis for the study of plants in general.
 As for health and beauty. 1t is worth remembering that the women CT Ea- rope who spend their days in the ieid have phvsiaHes which afe equal 10 those of robust men. while tae ia'iies of England wha spend so much tiiae s.. shesr flower gardens. have complex ions which are the admiration q the world.

NITROGEN MODULUS ON cowPFA ROOTS. making 1t available as plant food. In this respect they rank close to clover and alfalfa and have the additional ad- vantage of being able to grow on land where no one would even think of sow ing alfalfa.
 Like the other legumes. they may need to have the soil inoculated with bacteria. and this may be done either by scattering dirt from a good cowpea field over the patch to be sown or prob ably by scattering the manure of ami mas fed on cowpea hay. When inocu= lated they will fix as much nitrogen in the soil in 6o to no days as clover will fin eighteen months
 The nodules on the roots Of COW pea, the top of which was thirteen inches high and bore len pods. are shown in the accompanying picture On stronger land the yield of peas was less per plant and there were fewer nodnles on the roots, owing to the fact that the richer soil went more 10 the development of biz vines. some of them being four feet long From this it is easily seen that the fertilizing value Of the root decreases as the soil increases in richness. while the con trary is true of the fertilizing value of the top.
 The picture shows more plainly than can be told in words the benefit te be derived by leaving the eowpea roots in the ground when the crop is harvested. In order to prevent as much as possi- ble the waste of nitrogen by evapora- ton and the washing of soil by storms the field can be seeded to rye immedi- ately after harvest The rye will ab- sorb the fertlizing properties as they become free and keep them in storage till spring when it can be plowed un der. giving the soil not only the fertil- ity gathered by cowpeas but also that gathered by the rye, with the addition of humus, of which our poorer fields are greatly in need
 Cowpeas will not grow in a cold soil but wifi lie there and soon rot. For this reason they should not be planted until two or three weeks after corn planting time. Stir up a good seed bed and double the rows with corn planter. put ln shallow and SOW hVe to eight quarts per acre. These will have to be cultivated two or three times. but you should not blow them while they are wet either from rain or dew or the dirt will stick to them and they will rot If you use the drill SOW
