not always grow us readily or as Wig
orously as might be expected from the
richness Of the soil In recent years
II has been discovered by scientists
that the growth of plants of this class
(clovers. peas and beans) is dependent
to some extent on the presence of
small nodules or punches on the roots.
These nodules contain bacteria which
in some mysterious way assist the
roots in taking up food from the soil.
II these bacteria are not present in
the soil the clovers will be likely TO
make poor growth-indeed alfalfa may
not make any growth. II the proper
kind of bacteria are supplied and the
incubation of soil and root is success
full the plants will show extra vitality.
Cultures containing these bacteria
have been sent out to farmers from
the Ontario Agricultural college for
the past four years, with directions
for applying to the fields that are be-
ing seeded with clover. Last season
300 farmers reported that their al
falfa crops had been benefited by the

Always reads the latest Local Option news,

While the Earth is going dry,
For he's surely got dandy Of blues.

Till he sees the old familiar face of Mars
Then he lifts his megaphone
And he sings in monotone
And he's saddest when he sings the CLOSING bars

Won't you come and get me?
Won't your people let me

The captain Is pacing the bridge.
Until you reach shore again he is your
overload. His decision Is final and with.
out appeal. He can order you locked
in your stateroom or he can put you In
irons.
If occasion arises he can alter the
course of the ship and land you wher-
ever he pleases You have recourse
when you get ashore, but If he wants
to drop you at the Azores when you
have paid passage to Bremen he can
ard VIII do It.
His authority extends to every part
Of the ship alike. from the cargo to
the saloon deck and from the engine
room to the scullery.
Navigating ship Is a ticklish bust
ness and one that requires that there
be no division OF the highest authority.
So for the brief period until he touches
port. he Is your cZar.
The ship is a great community, some

A Iicklish Moment.

II to act cleverly on the spot Is the
measure of tact. then the man who
figures in the subjolned New York
Tribune story deserves both respect
and admiration: A woman. driving
through New England last summer,
noticed suddenly that her horse limped
a bit, so when she reached the next
village she stopped at the door OF the
blacksmith shOn. 4 man was holding
up the doorDost. and to him she said:
"Will you please tell the blacksmith
to come out? want to see him"
After the manner OF the village
idler. the man did not STIR but smiled
sweetly at the woman and, lifting up
his voice, called:
"Bill, come out. There's a lady
wants to see you"
From the depths Of the blacksmith
shop deeper voice roared:
'lS she young, John. or old|
In the words Of the old poem. "she
looked at John and John looked at
her" Then, still without moving. he
answered:
You'll be satisfied, Bill, when you
get out"
