NITROGEN NODULES ON COWPEA ROOTS.
making it 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 good cowpea
field over the patch to be sown or prob
ably by scattering the manure Of ami
mails fed on cowpea hay. When inocu-
lated they will fix as much nitrogen in
the soil in 60 to 40 days as clover Will
in eighteen months.
The nodules on the roots of cow
pea, the top of which was thirteen
inches high and bore ten pods, are
shown in the accompanying picture.
On stronger land the yield of peas was
less per plant and there were fewer
nodules on the roots, owing to the fact
that the richer soil went more to the
development Of big 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 fertiizing value of
the top.
The picture shows more plainly than
can be told in words the benefit to be
derived by leaving the cowpea roots in
the ground when the crop is harvested.
In order to prevent as much as posi-
BILE 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 alb
sorb the fertilizing properties as they
become free and keep them in storage
till spring, when it can be plowed I'M
der. giving the soil not only the fertil-
lty 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 will lie there and soon rot. For
this reason they should not be planted
until two or three weeks after corn
bed and double the rows with corn
planter, put in shallow and SOW FIVE
to eight quarts per acre. These will
have to be cultivated two or three
times. but you should not plow 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
three to five pecks per acre, putting
them about one and one-half inches
deep. They will need no further cult
vation unless there comes rain before
they get through the ground. In case
Of rain harrow lightly to break the
crust or most Of them will fail to get
through.

DURUM WHEAT.
A Grain That Is Steadily Increasing In
Popularity.

A Grain That Is Steadily Increasing In
Popularity.
There is a steadily increasing pro-
duction Of durum wheat in northern
Minnesota and North Dakota and in
the arid or semiarid sections Of other
states.
The big Touring mills have not as yet
adapted their machinery to the proper
grinding of durum wheat, says an ex-
pert They find the grain too rich in
gluten and too hard for their present
instalment Of rollers The elevator
men don't handle it freely because it
necessitates special bins. But the ex-
porters take it eagerly.
Durum Is sometimes called macaroni
wheat because its main use up to this
time has been for the manufacture of
macaroni The French, however, who
are accounted the best cooks in the
world, have employed 1t quite extern
sively in breadmaking. and it is as
serted that the bread made from 1t is
most nutritious as we'll as light and
appellZlHS. 1 here Is uO TedSOu WHY IL
should not be.
Gluten is q muscle former. In 100
ounces of lean beefsteak there are
eighteen parts Of muscle formers. In
100 ounces Of ordinary bread there are
seven to eight ounces Of muscle form
ers. in 100 ounces Of potatoes two
ounces. in 100 ounces OF milk four, but
in 100 ounces Of macaroni or bread
made from durum wheat there are
said to be from eighteen to twenty
ounces of muscle forming material.
Admitting the food value Of this va
riety of wheat, the temptation to the
farmer to whose land it is adapted
Is almost irresistible when wheat to
plant is chosen. 1t is a plant that
stands drought much better than other
wheat. 1t is so hardy and thrifty
that it is usually exempt from rust
and smut and bugs.
The average yield is high, often from
so to 100 per cent greater than that of
the old varieties of wheat grown in
the same district. 1t seems certain
that durum is destined to prove a
blessing to the farmers.

Excellent WatchWords For a
Town to Adopt.
; NOW TO START THE WORK.

Begin Without DeIay-Make the Town
Healthier, Happier and More Beauti-
fql by Cleaning Up Everything and
Every Place.
Eucyrus, o., has started cleaning up
d caE1paign, and the following excellent
methods that have been suggested for
beNutifying the town may well be
adopted by other places:
Clean up is the watchword.
Health demands it. appearance re-
,ou;res it and good sense points the
way, says the Bucyrus Evening Tele-
graph
In some localities "clean up" day is
popular.
Ii some localities one day proves In
sufficient.
Clean up everybody, everything and
every place.
There is lot of useless stuff that &C.
sunulates throughout the year. Spring
Il the time to get 1t all out Of way and
get that sweet. clean smell and the
appearance which means much to
health and happiness.
The doctors suggest spring tonic"
to get the blood in proper circulation
an the brain to doing its proper work.
Get the sluggish feeling out of your
ve.as and muscles and get free,
healthy action of every organ.
That is Il good thing for the human
system. but it is good thing for the
community as a municipality.
The street force is already at this
god work.
Many householders have taken it up
AN will pursue it to finish.
Others should start without delay.
Clean the back yards and alleys. Get
the accumulated worthless material on
q tig pile where the garbage man can
. ger it.
Help the street force as much as
possible in this good work.
Ii you can take advantage Of the
first tine day to do it the benefit will
3 b. all the greater.
IF one day proves insufficient, take
" two days or three days.
A good example is help to the en-
tire neighborhood.
Start right and keep right. and your
neighborhOod will take on the same
enthusiasm.
Eucyrus, o., is city of wide reputa-
tiou for beauty and the advanced ideas
OF her citizens.
Eucyrus has fine lawns and fine
shsde trees and beautiful homes. We
want to strengthen that reputation.
We are told there are some men idle
in Bucyrus. They will be glad to
work. because this is the pleasant kind
o. work They say some days the bust
ness man has leisure which he could
devote to cleaning up his premises.
That sort of work will make his home
lOpk better. make himself feel better
;And do the town good.
The business men are all working
for the good of the town.
They all want the place to have the
best possible reputation.
The great majority of our citizens
arr anxious for this same thing.
For the business man it helps bust
ness: for the average householder it
helps enjoyment.
For all it stimulates personal and
civic pride.
Don't wait for your neighbor to start;
pechaps he can't give it the attention
fhe same day you take up the work
yOurself.
Every one who starts gets SO much
more of the benefit
Many have started already. Others
viii start soon.
All should get busy and make the
fowo healthier, happier and enough
sight more beautiful.
This is the season when little work
. counts great deal.
Clean up; get busy.

The text OF the plank Is as follows:
