lnoculate Alfalfa Field.

A satisfactory way OF introducing
o-fixing bacteria in a new field is
to secure soil from an old alfalfa field
which is known to be inoculated, as
shown by the presence Of nodules on
the roots of alfalfa, and scatter this
over the field at the rate Of 200 to 300
pounds per acre. Soil inoculated by this
means has given very satisfactory re-
suits, and is a much surer method of
securing incubation than the use Of
pure cultures on the seed. If the soil
is already abundantly supplied with
the proper bacteria for the desired
crop, adding more germs will be, Of
little value.

Why Single Out tuberculosis.

Why is tuberculosis, or cOnsump-
tion singled out as the object of a
world wide Crusade for it's control,
prevention and cure. when pneumonia
tor exapmle is almost as prevalent and
occasionally more so -
The Wisconsin Anti tuberculosis
association s headquarters in Milwau.
kee is frequently called upon to
answer this and similar inquiries
relative to the reasons for the ex-
penditure of funds and energy to con
troll this disease.
Consumption is a disease which
can be wiped out by the cooperation
of the sick and the we'll, and not
otherwise, says DR.. Fl. E Dearholt,
the executive secretary For this
reason it must be made public
affair. There is no other disease
which so habitually cuts down its
victims in the best years of their life.
It clutches in its relentless grasp the
young man just established in trade or
profession the young mother in her
family; the father upon whose work
ing ability the wife and family
depend; the man and woman when
they are worth most to the world.
It's good business policy to stop this.
Again, tuberculosis is communicable
disease, and it is the one great con-
tagious disease which lasts for years
and in which the victim, able to
wander about, may give the disease to
thousands. The course of pneumonia
is run in few days, during which
infection may be easily guarded
against. -
1t is pointed out that the great
anti .tuberculosis movement has been
of incalculable value in exciting
effort for the prevention of other
diseases and conditions inimical to
health. Already there is a marked
uplift in the living and working con-
ditions of the masses. There never
has been in history q movement that
has taught and stimulated right living
as has this crusade

FIND ANTS OF GREAT VALUE
Scientists Use Small insects to Aid
Them in Their Fossil In
vestigations.

archaeological members of the
United States geological survey have
hit on unique scheme for the collec-
ton of small fossil bones in certain
parts of the west. The mammals from
which the bones are derived are pref
ty generally distributed, but are never
abundant and on account of their
small size are seen with difficulty
They may be more frequently found in
what are locally known as blow
OUTS" and are almost always asso-
ciated with garpike scales and teeth,
and teeth and bones of other fish,
crocOdiles, lizards and small dinosaurs
These remains are frequently so
abundant in blow outs as to attract
attention easily.
When such place is found, careful
search is almost always rewarded by
the discovery of few jaws and teeth
of mammals. This has been known
for long time, but it was only more
recently that it was discovered that
a certain species of ant, in excavating
it's burrows and in collecting material
p
together great numbers of small
otones with which to build the small
hemispherical hillocks from one to
two feet in diameter in and beneath
which it constructs its subterranean
chambers. Anywhere in the region at
a favorable locality among this ag-
gregation of pebbles, a considerable
number of small fossil teeth and jaws,
fish scales, small vertebrae, etc, will
always be found, and all the pateon-
tologist had to do was to sift an ant
hill through an ordinary flour sitter
to supply himself with abundant ma
terial.
The next step came when some en-
terprising sluggard wishing to sam
pie an antless region with little, effort,
followed Scripture, and went literally
to the ant. He deliberately "soWed"
the place with ants which he brought
from several miles away. The ants
established colonies, built hills and
when the paleontolOgist went back
the next year he found that they had
collected 80 to 40 teeth, etc, to each
hill This particular locality, which
is in Wyoming, has proved almost in
exhaustible, having yielded several
thousand isolated teeth and jaws OF
the diminutive mammals. Pabeontolo-
gists generally, thefore, owe a debt of
no tnconsiderable gratitude to the ant
in making known the wealth of small
mammals and other diminutive YER
tebrates that inhabited the region Ia
ancient times, and the Biblical iniunc
ton takes on new Significance

Reveals the
Thoughts
Remarkable Device New York
Inventor Is Sure He Can Make
Successful.

If everybody could tell what every
body else was thinking about, what
could happen to the human race?
Would it be better off or in worse
case than it is to-day?
George F. Parker, who gets up all
the novelties for the electrical shows
which are held each year at Madison
Square garden, New York, is going to
test the effect of the brain fash on
the person who receives the signal
European scientists have for some
time been experimenting with de-
vice which Mr.. Parker translates into
thinkograph," and a model of the
appliance will be on view at the COM
ing electrical show.
The "thinkograph" is designed, in
its completed state, to enable a Grim
inologist to tell what thoughts are
passing through suspects mind.
A cap is placed on the subjects
head and dial indicates the thoughts
rushing through the brain. An ar
rangement of sensitive coils and other
apparatus makes this possible
When the ''thinkograph" is per-
fected, however, it's use will not be
confined to police authorities. Mr.
Parker believes that if they can be
put out at a reasonable price, prac-
tically no home will be without them.
''In other words" said Mr.. Parker,
in telling of the plan to try out the
invention before the crowds at the
coming electrical show, IF a man felt
like kicking anybody on the shin, and
if he had this apparatus on his head,
the object of attack would be able to
dodge, or if the man had been out the
night before to the lodge, Or had told
his wife so, she could put this cap on
his head and get at the truth of the
matter
1.-THE machine would be invaluable
for investors who desired to know the
actual state of mind of the moving
1nanciers. Suppose man who got to
Mr.. Hartman and asked as to the
latter's plans was told the Hartman
stocks were headed for rise
Before he went out and invested
the rent money on this information he
might alphabetically slip the cap on
the financers head and learn positive
ly whether the advice was from the
heart or purely Pickwickian.
There are thousands of ways in
which the thinkograph' can be made
of service to mankind. We shall ex-
pertinent with it at Madison Square
