later or disked up In the spring. They
are often sown in cornflelds during the
last cultivation to keep the weeds
down and to add nitrogen to the soil.
Because Of the fact that other crops
make so much better growth after the
field has grown legume for year or
so it is important that crop of clover
or some other legume be grown occa-
sionally. If plan Of rotation Is ar
ranged so that the fields are regularly
changed from one crop to another, so
much the better It has been found
that when any crop is grown year aft
er year on the same land the yields will
grow less. The particular kinds Of
food that certain crop requires grows
scarcer, and weeds and insects become
more numerous If another kind of
plant is substituted, other elements of
plant food will be drawn upon, the in
sects will be starved out and the chang
ed methods Of soil treatment will dis
courage the weeds.
Plants vary greatly in their ability to
get food from the soil. Such crops as
rye and buckwheat are strong feeders
and are able to obtain food from soil
on which more tender plants would
starve. Some plants use much more
humus than others. Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently deplete
the humus supply rapidly, since the
constant stirring Of the soil hastens de-
cay. Oats, on the other hand, take
comparatively little humus from the
SOIL
These differences may be largely
equalized by consistent system Of TO-
tation. In planning rotations the aim
should be to so distribute the crops
that they will be best adapted to the
condition in which the soil was left by
the preceding crop. The starting point
Of every rotation should be clover or
some other legume The length Of time
that field should be left in to such
crop depends largely on local condi-
tons. In the east, where alfalfa seed
Is high and the difficulties Of obtaining
a stand great, it is usually wise not to.
plow up the crop for three or four
years. Red clover lives only two years;
hence if not plowed up the second year
the land must be reseeded. In most
cases two years is as long as the land
should be left to any one crop.
Since clover is grown with small
grain the first year, this means only
one year in which it will be the sole
crop. If the second crop of clover is
to be plowed under, as is the case
when the soil is considerably lacking
In humus, this work had better be
done in the fall, SO that the mass of
green clover may have time to decay
before the following crop is planted.
II the soil has been properly cared for,
However. this green manuring win be
unnecessary. As general rule It is
more profitable to feed the hay or
grass to stock and return the manure
10 the land. In this way from so to
30 per cent as much plant food is
added as would have been II the crop
had been plowed under, and at the
same time the stock has had the bene-
at Of the extra feed. When only the
stubble Is to be turned under, the
blowing may be done either In late
fall or early spring.

NO ESSENTIAL DETAILS
Added BY Cook in New York Lecture
To Story Already Told.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, in lecture under the aus
pices of the Arctic Club of America at
Carnegie hall, added no essential facts
to his narrative of the discovery of
the North pole. but added details to
those passages which have been pre-
Viously criticized for their lack of de-
tail.
Dr.. Cook laid further emphasis on
the ample outfit he took with him and
asserts that the sledges, clothes and
boots made b. the natives at Annatok
were better than any that could have
been taken to the North from civiliza-
ton. On the first stages of his journey,
he said. he took 10 Esquimaux with
him and might have had 20 for the ask
i'ig. Eight of these he turned back, re-
serving Etukishuk and Ahweelah with
IS dogs and two sledges for the last
dash.
The collapsible canoe which was not
mentioned in his first narrative, and
appeared subsequently in the lecture
given at Copenhagen, was described
tonight in full. The frame, DR.. Cook
said, formed part of one of the sledges
and tho canvas covering did duty for
a tent when not in use on the water.

railroad, was hauled Sunday from

milo. A regular train delayed the
special u minutes al Medford.
While the exact weight of the train
had not been ascertained W to Tues

the approximate weight was in the

ity of 400 feet long Or 11-22 of a mile.
The train was loaded chiefly with po-

they say, will compare favorably with
the longest train ever hauled by any

new YORK CLUBS WILL
TRY TO SECURE A LAW
TO LEGAL|zE BOXING.

New York, Sept 2S.-Several of the lead
ms clubs in the city have employed at
tOrneys to draft bill legalizing boxing
bouts before Incorporated athletic clubs.
1t is their purpose to cause such bill
to be introduced at the next session of the
Legislature. While the work has not been
completed it is said that the bill will
provide for a state tax on the basis of
an assessment of 10 per cent. of all mon
eys collected for initiation fees, dues and
reservations, which will be turned over
to various charitable institutions 1t is
argued that if 10-round bouts are legal
lied at least $4,000 year can be devoted
to this worthy cause, while the boxing
game governed by a commission to be APP
pointed by the governor, can be conducted
without Objectionable features.
Those who have the matter under adj
visement say that the bill could empower
the commission to refuse licenses to clubs
that might engage such pugilists as Jack
johnson, Jeffries, Ketchel and other big
fighters. on the ground that their bouts
would attract too much attention. 1t is
salso pointed out that clubs of less than
1870 members could be barred so that the
psport would be curtaled. A well-known
member of the Assembly has expressed a

signed by lovers of pugilism all over the

mer season just past and to the fact
that year after year the business is IN
creasing the steamship company has
decided to enlarge the steamer Ran
som B. Fuller as well as the steamer
Bay State.
1t was stated several weeks ago that
the steamer Bay State was to be rebuilt
and that large number of new state
rooms would be added to the steamers
passenger accommodations. 1t was
learned this morning that the steamer
Ransom 3. Fuller would also be re-
built and that the changes would add
Il large number OF staterooms and to
the passenger accommodations of the
steamer would be far greater when the
work was completed
1t is planned to cut the big steamer
in two and to make her about 40 feet
longer. The work will commence as
soon as possible and the steamer will
be ready before the spring season
opens in 1910 Just where the work
will be done is not known as the con-
