of nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that
a 100-bushel crop of corn takes from the SOIL
almost 100 pounds of nitrogen in the corn and
about 4S pounds in the stalks. Rich, welbal-
anced land in the corn belt contains about
5000 pounds of nitrogen Therefore, if the
process of subtraction of nitrogen goes on
year after year with never addition, it can
be seen clearly that the farmers finances can
not multiply. Rotation plans for grain farm
ers always should include a crop of legumes
Wheat, corn, oats and clover is a satisfactory
rotation also wheat, corn and COW peas; also
cotton, corn and oats and COW peas The trst
of these rotations should include catch crop
of clover seeded the first year and plowed IN
der for corn as late as practicable the second
year. The other two should include eaten
crops of legumes whenever possible Legumes
when plowed under perform valuable services
besides supplying the soil with nitrogen-as
they decay they supply organic matter to the
soil which helps other elements of plant food
to free themselves from the earth and into the
farmers bank account.
Now that the question of nitrogen has been
outlined, suppose we turn to the problem or
phosphorus, the only element Of plant food we
ever shall have to buy. AS to the Importance
of the use of phosphorus upon the common
soils of the United States, DR.. Hopkins has
this to say:
phosphorus is the key to permanent ag
riculture on these lands. To maintain or In
crease the amount of phosphorus in the soil
makes possible the growth of clover or other
legumes and the consequent addition of nitro
gen from the inexhaustible supply In the air;
and with the addition of decaying organic mat
ter in the residues of clover and other crops
and in manure, made in large part from clover
hay and pasture, and from the larger crops or
corn and other grains which clover helps to
produce comes the possibility of Iiberatins
from the immense supplies in the soil sufficient

let us consider few fundamentals of crop
growing.
First, there are six positive, absolutely
sential factors They are: ID the seed,
(2) the plant home, (3) the food of which the
plant is made, (4) moisture, 90 heat, CO. light.
Now except in the case of the seed and plant
food these factors are largely beyond the farm
er's control. Dame Nature can however, be
trusted to attend to them satisfactorily. How,
then, has the farmer made use If his ability to
control the two factors? BY exercising judg-
ment and care in the selection of seed and by
ignoring the matter of plant food entirely. The
result? When the land was out and had
no plant food to give the good seed the agricul-
turist arose irately in farmers institute and
told what he thought of the seed seller. The
trouble all the time not with the seed but
with the soil, which had had the elements of
plant food removed in previous crops, and as
a consequence could not respond to the call Of
the seed
What are these elements? There are ten
in the list, but eight are provided abundantly.
Three-oxygen, hydrogen and carbon-come
directly from the air and water Most nor
NAL soils contain enough potassium, magne-
SUM, iron, calcium and sulphur, although some
times the first must be supplied. The problem
Of plant food, therefore, narrows itself, in most
cases, to maintaining and increasing the phos-
phorus and nitrogen
Now nitrogen is easy to catch as the
measles If one knows how. The air contains
it In inconceivable amounts. DR.. Hopkins has
estimated that the air above acre of ground
contains about 100000 worth, if sold over
the counter at ordinary commercial rates. In
order to induce this nitrogen to enter the
earth, where it may reappear as food for man,
all that is necessary is to plant clover, alfalfa,
peas or any legume By means of the bacteria
upon the roots these legumes draw the nitro
gen into the soil. How necessary the element

that crop rotation will keep the soils IN per-

iniure the soil because they use It's plant 1000
elements but because they throw OH poisonous

Consider This Advice.
No woman should submit to a surgi-

until she has given Lydia e. Pinkham'S
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and invigorator OF
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are ill, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give il trial.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free
