$500 FOR THREE DAYS WORK
How It Paid Kansas Boy to Use
Disker Before Flowing Wheat.

Last year the extension department
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege issued circular urging disking
wheat Immediately following the head
er. to be plowed two or three weeks
later. Most of the farmers thought
this would be too much trouble for the
increase in yield 1t might bring, but
boy In Edwards county persuaded his
father to let him have thirty acres on
which to try that plan. His older
brother also had thirty acres adjoining
his field. which he put in in the or
binary way. the same as his father did
1000 acres. The soil was the same
the seed wheat was the same. and the
rainfall was the same.
The only factor that differed In the
history OF the crop was the disking of
the wheat stubble Immediately after
the header. Yet the wheat thrashed
out forty-six bushels and ten pounds
to the acre for the ground that had
been so treated, and the brothers yield
was only twenty-five bushels. That
was about the average for the 1000
acres of the farm also. Wheat at 80
cents would pay the boy who disked
before time to pillow about $500 for
three days work.

fFrom Harper's weekly.l

Another nitrogen fertilizer. nitrate of
soda or Chile saltpeter. which has
been secured from ancient deposits of
guano. is fast being exhausted, not
only by farm demands. but by the de-
mand for gunpowder. We must there
fore look elsewhere for nitrogen to
nourish plants. for soon the supply Of
natural nitrogen fertilizers will fall
short of the demand. says Harper's
Weekly.
Now. certain plants have the proper
ty of absorbing nitrogen from the at
mosphere through the medium of mil
lions of bacteria which gather the free
nitrogen from the air. and this nitro
gen can be used in place of expensive
commercial fertilizers. The most bene-
fetal nitrogen gathering bacteria form
excrescences called "nodules" on the
roots of certain plants of the pod
bearing family. These plants are CALI
ed legumes and include clovers. peas.
beans. alfalfa. peanuts. etc. These
bacteria have one function only TO per-
form-they form a copartnership with
the plant to supply 1t with nitrogen.
They gather in great numbers on the
roots Of legumes. forming nodules,
which are large colonies of bacteria
stored with nitrogen. In exchange for
sugar food which the legumes give the
bacteria and on which they thrive the
bacteria gather nitrogen from the air
and feed II TO the plants as desired.
The plant by giving 2 per cent Of sugar
receives 95 per cent of nitrogen from
the bacteria. When roots of legumes
die In the ground the nitrogen which
the bacteria have already gathered and
stored In these little punches or nodules
on the roots Is given to the soil. which
is then rich in nitrogen. When the
next crop Is planted In that soil. nc
matter what crop 1t may be. nitrogen
Is there--the more nodules the more
nitrogen. Therefore 1t is TO the farm
er's advantage. TO the advantage of the
world. to encourage the increase In
growth of these nodules.
| The more nodules that are formed OF
the roots the more nitrogen is fed te
the plant, and this makes the PLAN
grow more healthily. makes the foliage
deeper In color. more abundant and Of
greater food value. the roots stronger
and longer and the stalks taller ant
sturdier.
Experiments in transferring nitrogeI
rich soil from some sections of thu
country where these bacteria Tourist
to new localities. to mix with worke'
out soil. have been made. Sometime
the experiment is successful. More Of
ten. however. some harmful ingredien
of the soil is also spread 10 the new
soil. The only safe way is TO appl,
healthy bacteria direct to the seeds

the seeds with bacteria which wi

SAVE LABOR ON FARM.
Every Detail Needs Attention If Profits
Are to Be Realized From Work.

Much time and money are lost upon
the farm by Inconvenience. To the
farmer. labor is money and time is
valuable. Whenever time is lost and
labor is sacrificed the profits are APT
to be small
Fences should be located with refer
ence to convenience. The rotation
should be carefully planned before
fences are located and fields are laid
out for the different crops. Fences
are expensive. and they should be con-
stIricted with reference to convenience
and adaptabi'ity. The gates should be
properly made. adequately suspended
and conveniently located. No unneces-
sary time should be lost in passing
through gates and getting the teams
to other fields.
The tool shed. the barn. the garden
and the pasture should all be located
with reference to the needs of the man
ager. Thirty minutes lost every day
for year means loss OF nearly Il
months work
Perhaps less attention Is given to
the water supply than any other neceS-
sity upon the farm On many farms
the well is located in the wrong place.
and on not a few stock water is scarce
or difficult TO reach. This Is extremely
unfortunate for the animals us well as
for the manager of the farm. Animals
are sometimes driven several miles for
water and in this way cost their owner
more than they are worth.
For convenience the farmstead
should be carefully planned before
the different buildings are located.
Mistakes In building are costly and
should not be made. Inadequate build
ings. poor fences and insufficient water
supply not only reduce the profits OF the
farm. but cause the hands and teams
to be overworked and the children to
become discouraged with farm life

USING POULTRY MANURE.

Three Farmers Express Opinions
About Its Value as Fertilizer.
The following opinions concerning
the use Of poultry manure were gath
cred by the Orange Judd Farmer:
.As poultry manure is the richest
and most valuable farm fertilizer
take special care of It, The most prof
liable way have found In dispos-
ing of it is to use ii as a top dressing

garden crops do well with 1t. 1t Is
especially rich in nitrogen and Is
quickly available for the use of plants.
] never mix 1t with wood ashes or any
thing that contains lime. because lime
sets free the nitrogen in the form Of
ammonia. Sifted coal ashes are not

VAIN OF THEIR PETTIcoATs.
Garments Most Priced Possession Of
Indian Women.

The priced possession Of the Boil
Wan Indian woman and her chief
pride also, whether she is pure In
dian or chola, is her petticoat. Her
dowry is in this garment. Like the
Dutch woman of tradition, she car
ries her wealth about with her.
These petticoats are Of all colors of
the rainbow and divers other hues
not found therein | first noticed
them at Nazarene, and remarked the
love of color, which must be Unborn,
for the garments were Of yellow,
purple, violet, fiery red, crimson
scarlet, subdued orange, glazing SAT-
from, blue and green. They were
very short, reaching barely below the
knee, and no difference was observed
between childhood, maidenhood, ma
tronly middle life and wrinkled old
age. CHANGING from my window in
Tupiza, | thought it was a parade
of perambulating balloons.
These women have a habit which
the bashful traveller does not at first
understand. When he sees one of
them calmly removing a petticoat
he is apt to turn away, but he need
not do so. 1t may be that the adj
vancing heat of the day has caused
the wearer to discard the outer skirt,
but more likely it is the vanity of
her sex, and the desire to make her
sisters envious by showing what is
beneath, for each new vesture dis
closed is more brilliant than the one
which overlapped it. | sat in the
plaza at Tupiza and watched two In
dian women try to make each other
envlous. The first one removed the
outer petticoat, which was of pur-
pie. This Investment disclosed an
other garment Of blazing red, and
after that came a brilliant yellow.
The other woman started with
green petticoat, and gradually got
down to mixture Of blue and vel
low. BY that time | had begun to
fear for the consequences, and made
a pretense Of turning my back by
strolling to the hotel.-National

RADlUM RAYS HURT GEMS.

Many precious stones are inhu-
enced by the action of the rays cma-
mating from radium. A scientist
exposed a colorless diamond from
Borneo to these rays. The stone
was colored a light yellow after eight
days and a decided lemon yellow
after another eight days, On heat
ing the diamond to $50 degrees CEN
tigrade (4S2 degrees Fahrenheit)
The yellow color was diminished, but
it could not be entirely got rid of
even at a red heat. 4 colorless Bra
I'll diamond showed no coloration.
\ peculiar behavior was shown by
pale blue sapphire from Ceylon.
After only two hours exposure to
radium bromide it showed a colora-
ton, green at first, then light yellow
and after a few more hours reddish
yellow. After a fortnight it was
dark yellow, approaching chestnut.
The color could be got rid of by
heating, but the light yellow color
always returned on cooling.

BATTLE FOR FREE DRESS.
Women Of Small German Town Re
sent Male Dctation.

The women Of the little town Of
Nordhausen, in Germany have risen
in revolt against the order of the
municipal authorities, forbiddng
them, for sanitary reasons, to wear
dresses with trains.
All dresses which touch the
ground come within the definition
Of trains" and the police have re-
ceived orders strictly to enforce the
new decree. A fine of 81 is the
penalty for the first offense, $3.50 for
the second and a days imprisonment
for the third.
The women who are resisting the
law have scored one point by obtain
ing the opinion of eminent legal
authorities to the effect that the
town council has partially exceeded
its right in issuing this draconic de-
cree. 1t appears that the council
mas rlght TO prevent women from
trailing their dresses along the
ground, but cannot prevent them
from wearing dresses which would
touch the ground if not carried in
the hand.
The council then replied that
women can wear skirts yards in
length if they like, but they must
hold them up. One inch of skirt
trailing on the ground makes the
wearer liable to arrest and punish
ment.
\ league Of resistance has been
formed and the members have
pledged themselves to wear long
skirts and to defy the authorities.
They declare that they will pay the
necessary fines, and even 90 to pris-
ON, rather than sacrifice their right
Of arraying themselves in the most
becoming costumes.
