in scattering over the new ground at

field of the same crop that shows

and If possible this should be done
toward evening or on a cloudy day, as
a bright sunshine is very harmful TO

Pure Culture Method.
The method of incubation BY pure
cultures depends to a certain extent
upon the type of pure culture which
may be used Generally speaking,
however, bottle of pure culture of
the proper kind of bacteria is opened
shortly before the seed is to be plant
ed and the culture mixed with the
proper quantity of water aui applied
to the seed in such way that all the

Drying may be facilitated by add1ng

to be grown. 1t is undesirable to store
lnoculated seed, as the nodule bacteria
often die out rapidly after the seed
has been treated with the pure cultures
and dried Inoculated seed should
never be dried in the sun. 1t Is also
possible to thoroughly mix the pure
culture with considerable quantity Of
soil, preferably from the field where
the legume is to be sown The treated
soil can then be distributed in the
same manner as when inoculat,ng by
the use of soil from an old field

tographs made on August 10, 1899. The
star appeared IN the constellation Sa-
gittariuS from that date until October
1901 The star cannot be found in the

that three such unusual discoveries
should be crowded into six weeks.
A comet has been discovered with the
great 36-inch telescope of the Lick OBJ
servatory. This is q return of Brooks
periodic comet, 1889 V, which revisits
the earth every seven years. The comet
was found within 80 seconds of arc of
its predicted place (one-sixtieth part of
the diameter of the noon, but it is
unfavorably situated and cannot be
seen in small telescopes.
Some years ago Prof Charles Lane
Poor of Columbia university showed
that this comet in March, 1883, came
very close to the great planet Jupiter.
Before this date the comet had a periods
about the sun of more than a hundred
years, but the attraction exerted by
Jupiter was so strong that the comet
was pulled out of its former orbit, was
captured" and made a permanent
member of "Jdpiter's family" The COM

The Planets.
Mercury may be seen in the south
west about Christmas day setting an
hour after sunset Venus is still too
near the sun to be visible.
Mars is a moving star rising an hour
and a half before the sun, but It is
faint and uninteresting.
Jupiter rises two or three hours be-
fore sunrise and during the winter will
become more and more prominent
Saturn is still a magnificent object
for a small telescope. 1t rises about
sunset and can be readily found by
any one, the brightest body last of the
meridian. The possessors of telescopes
will have continued pleasure in exam
lining it closely. Additional interest is
attached to it now, due to the pres
ence Of a polar cap discovered at the
Lick observatory.
The sun is at the winter solstice on
December % at 1912 a. m. This is the
shortest day in the year." the day of
least sunlight. BY consulting any ordi-
nary almanac it will be seen that the
sun does not rise the latest nor set
the earliest for the year on this date.

Legume incubation Of Soil
By W. L. Rockwell, u S. Irrigation Expert

FREQUENT inquiries are made re-
garding the benefit, if any, to
be derived by inCCulating the soil
for leguminous crops. among which are
alfalfa, cow peas, beans, clover. vetcn
and peanuts, hence few words as to
what incubation means and the meth
DDS employed in accomplishing same
may be Of interest
There are certain bacteria which
when present in the soil upon which
legumes are being grown, cause the
plants to take a certain amount of the
the free nitrogen of the air, which
nitrogen is deposited in nodules on the
roots of the plants, thus adding val
liable plant food to the soil, to be used
not only by the crop growing at the
time. but also by those which follow
later. If, however, these bacteria are
not present in the SOIL the legumes,
like other plants, have not the ability
of extracting from the air this food
element, hence in soils that are not
inocuiated the legumes as other crops
draw their food entirely from the soil.
and gradually deplete the store of
plant food. Though leguminous crops
only are directly benefited ny this
process. still succeeding crops receive
the benefit Of the stored food, and ihs
soil is built up and made more fertile
and productive.
Two Ways to Do 1t.
incubation is accomplished in TWO
ways, by transfer of soil from a tield
in which the bacteria are present and
by the use of pure cultures of the
proper bacteria. If the former method
is employed, care should be exercised
that soil is obtained from a field in
which there is no foul seed, or disease.
Long continued and extensive experi-
ments have proved that there are GER

: The brightest Of them are of the first
magnitude, those just visible to the
naked eye, of the sixth magnitude.
The twenty most brilliant stars known
to the ancients were regarded as of
the first magnitude stars. AS science
became more exact it became necessa-
ry to distinguish between these bright
er stars, for some were much brighter
than others, and SO measures were
made to determine the brightness. The
stars were compared among them
selves or with the light of a standard
candle by an instrument called a pho
tometer- A very exact part of astron-
omy thus has arisen
Magnitude of Stars.
The magnitude OF the stars. as a re-
suit of these measures, can be more
accurately stated. The brighter a star
is, the smaller the number represent
ing its magnitude and consequently a
star of first magnitude is one magni-
tude brighter than one of the second.
And one of the second magnitude is
two magnitudes brighter than one OF
the fourth In the same way stars
brighter than the first ma gnitude can
be represented by numbers smaller
than one by decimals, or even by mega
tive numbers. Sirius is of the-1.4
magnitude, Vega of o. magnitude A
magnitudes brighter than one of the
sixth. and 1t gives just 100 times as
much light. The fifth root of 100 is
2-512, and consequently a star of a
certain magnitude gives 2.512 times as
much light as one of magnitude
fainter. Chose who understand To-
garithms will see at a glance that log
2.512 is equal to 0.4.)
Our sun is a star of the -26.5 magni-
tude, and it gives us 10000, 0o0, 900
times as much light as Sirius If the
sun were twice as far away from us as
it is, it would give only one-Quarter
as much light. If it were 100, 900 times
farther off than it is. its light would
be the same intensity as that of Sirius.
But even at this enormous distance, the
sun would be only about one-sixth as
far away as Sirius exactly lies. In
other words, Sirius shines with a lus-
ter fully 80 times that of our sun.
And Sirius is not a solitary example
The sun looks big and bright only be-
cause ii is so close but If it could be
put off from US TO the average distance
of the fixed stars, It would shine with
a luminosity just visible to the naked
eye, it would be a star of about the
sixth magnitude. There are vast
numbers of other suns more brilliant
and more massive than our own sun.
New Stars.
Another new star has been found at
the Harvard college observatory, the
third of these bodies in a period of six
weeks. When star suddenly blazes
out and increases its brightness in a
remarkable manner in a short period
of time, it is called a new star or
Nova" The brightness usually lasts
but a short time, and the star again
sinks to its former state Of COMPARE
tive obscurity. During the past 20
years only II new stars have BEEN
found altogether, of which number no |
less than IA have been found at Har- |
ward. The last addition was found by |
Miss A J. Cannon, but the Interesting !
part of it's life history-the period OF 1
maximum brightness-was seen many /

n one Of the cool crisp evenings
that come at this season of the
year. we see the heavens spark
ling with countless gems Of light ap-
parently millions in number. Indeed,
most people believe that it would be
absolutely impossible to count all the
stars that can be seen with the naked
eye; and throughout all ages of the
worlds literature, the terms number
less as the sands Of the seashore," and
countless as the stars" have been re-
garded as synonymous. But to be
like the stars in number" would not
necessitate a very great number, if one
refers in that, to the stars that may be
seen with the naked eye. As a mat
ter of fact, we could not count these
stars up into the millions, nor even to
hundreds Of thousands. nor yet to tens
of thousands At any one time only
three thousand stars can be seen with
out q telescope by any observer and in
the whole heavens there are less than
six thousand stars that may be seen
with the naked eye.
With Small Telescope.
Even with small telescope, the
light gathered to fail on the retina Of
the eye is many times that which falls
on the unaided eye, and as a conse-
Quence many more stars are revealed.
With greater and greater telescopes,
there are brought TO out ken, fainter
and fainter stars Strange as it may
seem, moderate sized Photographic
telescope with the modern sensitive
plate can portray stars and nebulae
which are too faint to be seen by the
keen eye Of the astronomer using even
the great 40-inch Yerkes telescope It
has been estimated that the photo
graphic plate has revealed no less than
one hundred million stars. Each of
these stars shines by its own light and
is. consequently, a sun How would
our own sun compare in size and bril-
1iancy with one Of these distant orbs
of light? Do some of these suns have
planets circling about them? Do any
Of these planets (if there are such) re-
semble our own earth? Are they in
habfted? These are interesting ques-
lions that we can partially answer.
The Darwinian theory Of evolution
explains the gradual development OF
life on this mundane sphere of ours.
In the heavens we see abundant evil
dences Of evolution, changes going on
with majestic slowness, through cons
OF time. In the evolution of these hun
dreds OF millions Of other suns, it does
not seem impossible for some to have
developed like our own sun. nor does
1T seem unthinkable for some of the
planets belonging to these solar sys-
TENS even to be inhabited. Different
environments would have made men
on these planets different from the
average American, but none the less
they may be human beings 1t seems
hardly likely that the vast universe
was made solely for our pleasure, with
stars and other systems serving no
other useful purpose than being mere
points of light in the sky.
SUMS BriIliancy.
To compare the brilliancy Of our own I
sun with others, we must know the 4
relative distances and their relative |
brightness. The brightest fixed star in |
the heavens is the brilliant dog star /
Sirius. which is found low down to the /
southeast in the early evening. The |
astronomer keeps track of the bright |
hess Of the stars by their "magnitudes."
