Why We Inoculate Land.

Different kinds Of bacteria live
on different plants; and one legume
may be we'll supplied with these
nodules on land where some other
crop shows no trace OF them. Thus
the bacteria that live on the roots of
the cowpea seem to be abundant all
over the South. while those that
grow on crimson clover are not pres
ent In many soils. In such cases. 1t
liz necessary to 'inoculate" the soil
that is. TO supply 1t with these bac-
terra before II can be OF value to the
farmer as gatherer OF nitrogen
from the air. This inoculatioS Elay

field where the bacteria are known
to exist over the land In which they
seem 10 be lacking or by the use Of
cultures" of these bacteria. These
cultures are simply preparations,
usually OF some jelly-like substance.
in which the bacteria have been
grown In great numbers. Ordinarily
the soil method of incubation Is the
surest and best.

there is added to the soil in addition
TO the elements taken from 1t by the
crop, that part OF the crop which
was taken from the air. as explained
I'm the first article OF this series.
Green plants are usually about 50
per cent water. The dry matter Is
mostly cellulose or starch, and cellu-
lose and starch are made up OF car
bon. hydrogen and oxygen, elements
which the plant obtains from the air
and OF which there are unlimited
supplies. In other words. when this
grain or grass crop Is turned down.
there ia added TO the soil no more
OF the three plant foods commonly
lacking than was already in II. Yet
every farmer knows that most land
ia greatly improved by having vege-
table matter of any kind mixed with
L.
Don't Add to Plant Foods, but to
Their Availability.
The reasons for this are largely to
be found In what has been said
about humus and the physical condi-
ton OF the soil: for these green
crops as they decay supply the soil
with humus. enable II TO hold more
moisture without becoming too wet
for plants TO do well. retain this
moisture better in n dry time. fur
nIsh food for the soil bacteria to
feed on. and by putting the soil In
better condition. enable the roots OF
the crop that may be growing on II
to gather larger supplies OF food.
That is. while the turned down green
crop does not add TO the supplies of
plant food In the soil. IL makes II
easier for the growing crops to get
what are there.
II does this. not only by keeping
the soil In better tilth and holding
more moisture for the use OF the
plants. but also. as has been said. by
furnishing more food for the soil
bacteria These exceedingly minute
plants are what causes the vegetable
matter In the soil TO decay. They
draw the food for their growth from
Il. and as they die leave this food In
such shape that IL can be dissolved
I'm the soil water and used by the
crops planted on the land. Their
growth and death also help 10 make
more available some OF the other
plant foods. since as has been stated
IL Is only when this food Is In such
form that Il can be dissolved by the
soil moisture that II can be OF service
to the farmer.

MISCELLANEOUS
Ebert Hubbard on Advertising.

advertising is the education of the pub
lie as to who you are, and what you have
to offer in the way of skill, talent or COM
modify" says Ebert Hubbard In the June
"Philistine." The Importance of the new
science of advertising has never been more
thoroughly emphasized than by Fra Ell
bsrtus in the current number of his little
magazine. He says in part:
LET the truth be known about your
business"
The only man who should not advertise
is the one who has nothing to offer in way
of service, or one who can not make good. -
"All such should seek the friendly shell
ter of oblivion, where dwell those who,
shrouded in Stygian shades, foregather
gloom, and are out of the game.
"Not to advertise is to be nominated for
membership in the Down-and-OutC Club"
"The Adscripts and the Adcrafts look to
the east. They worship the rising. sun.
The cleo of authority does not much in
terest them. They want the Kosmic Kero-
sene that supplies the caloric."
"a good Adcraftscripter is never either
a philophraster or a theologaster-he is
pragmatist He seeks the good for him
self, for his clients, and for the whole hui
man race"

The services of last Sunday were of a
very touching nature. Quite large
congregation assembled for the Pastors
farewell sermon. The music was ap-
propriate to the occasion, and Miss Grace
Prior repeated the hymn ''I'm Going
Through"
Pastor Wales subject was "a Parting
Message" Exodus 1914. The message
consisted of a message of past ministerial
faithfulness in which he reviewed the
efforts of the past; like Paul having
served the Lord with humility, kept
back nothing that was profitable, etc.
A message of prayer. that our love may
abound, that we might be made perfect
to do Gods will. A message of cheer,
that while separated from one another we
are united in spirit end love. And a
message of farewell and exortation, to
be perfect. of good comfort and OF one
mind. Pull together steadily. These
are no days for division. United we
stand, divided we fall. Finally brethren,
FAREWELL
Pastor Wales administered the Lords
Supper at this farewell service. During
the Sunday school hour he occupied the
Seat of Honor and received an autograph
album from the Sunday-school and other
friends.

When a single dose of arsenic in suf-

and perhaps nausea result. In the
course of an hour after poisonous
dose has been taken an intense burn
ing pain is felt in the esophagus and
stomach. This spreads to the entire
anterior portion of the lower. part OF
the trunk. A sense of construction at
the throat and an acrid, metallic taste
accompany the pain. Then vomiting
and relaxation of the bowels begin.
AS the case progresses the symptoms
increase in intensity. Then comes a
thirst thar water will not allay, al

groans and writhes.
