all the Iegumes must grow nodulcs on

minute organisms that in some way
enable the plants to draw Il supply Of
nitrog&@l from the air, not only to give
the plants themselves luxuriant
growth, but to leave greater or less
portioa in the soil for the benefit of
future crops.
These nodules will not form in acid
soil, and the reason that it is more or
less difficult to grow the legumes-
clover, alfalfa, etC.-on many farms is
because the soil is more or less acid.
Lime regulates or neutraliZes the acid
ity, and it Is well to treat with lime
any land where it is proposed to grow
leguminous crops.
From 500 to 1000 or even 1000
pounds of lime to the acre may be ap-
piled, and all forms of lime are used
for that purpose. But stone lime is
evidently the best. 1t should be slaked
into fine powder, and for convenience
of application it may be thoroughly
mixed with an equal or even greater
amount of comparatively dry earth.

THE HORSES COLLAR

Neglect Of This Matter Sure to
Result In Sore Shoulders.

Fitting the collar to the horse is II
ture of collars the leather is soaked
till it is as limp as a rag and then is
fitted over steel form representing
the shape of the horses neck. When
dry these collars are so firm and stiff
that usually it is impossible to buckle
the harness tight enough to bring them
to the shape of the animals neck, and
the shoulders are therefore adjusted
to the collar rather than the collar to
the shoulders. with sore shoulders as
the result. The neck and shoulders
of no two horses are alike 1t is there
fore necessary to avoid this soreness
that stiff collar be adjusted to the
shoulders of the horse for which it is
intended.

lar, new or old, wrap it around and
around again with a thoroughly wet
cloth or place. the unwrapped collar in
three inches of water and let it remain
overnight. In the morning put the.
collar on the horse and with hame
straps draw it snugly to the sides of
the neck. Be sure that the hame
straps are properly adjusted. then
work the horse moderately through
the day. After soaking in this way
the collar will adjust itself to every
inequality of the shoulder, and the
horse will seldom be troubled with
soreness. Repeat the process when
ever the collar is found not to fit. The
hame straps should be properly adj
justed at top and bottom to suit the

IN MEMORY
OF Mrs. Margaret Davis Hayes, DangIl~
ter of Jefferson Davis.

In Biloxi, Miss, on Thursday, No
vember y, in the presence of many local
and visiting members of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and 9TH
ers making up a large assembly, there
was unveiled at the Episcopal Church
of the Redeemer, the new altar and
reredos recently erected there, dedica-
ton being made i'll memory of Mrs
Margaret Howell Jefferson Davis Hayes
daughter of Jefferson Davis.
The formal presentation of the altar,
says the Picayune, was made by Mrs
Virginia r McSherry, president general
of the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, and the acceptance and dedication
service was held by Ri. Rev, Theodores
DuBose Bratton, D. D., bishop of the
diocese of Mississippi. The altar and
reredos are the gift of the Daughters
of the Confederacy, whose annual gen
eral convention recently closed at Lit
tie Rock, Ark. .a
Mrs Hayes, i'll memory of whom the
altar and reredos have been given. was
the eldest daughter of Jefferson Davis,
President of the Confederate States.
The Church of the Redeemer, i'll which
the memorial is placed, is called the
Westminster of the South, on account
of its being the home church of the Da-
Wis family.
The design consists of an altar sup
ported on heavy arches and columns, the
space under the nlensa being left open.
At the back of this space are panels en-
riched with Alpha and Omega and the
Shi Rho in the center
Above the mensa are two retabIes, the

was brief. and Cavendish and his BRIDE
went on a bridal tour to his possessions
in Mexico
After some weeks had passed without
a word from Miss Hood, her parents
became alarmed and tried to hear from
her, but vainly.
Then then CHANGED on the pictures OF
the noted biganist, who had married
several women under the name of Lord
Perciva1 Sholto Douglas, and deserted
them after, seeking to kill them, and re-
cognized that their daughter had been
his victim.
Influential friends induced the diplo-
matte service of the United States to
make a search in Mexico, and the MeXl-
can government became active. 'Ihe
couple were traced to several Mexican
points, but all trace was lost. A large
reward was raised here for the appre-
hension of the bigamist. and the wide
circulation Of the story developed that
the bogus lord had married at least
eight women in various parts of the
country, and shortly afterwards, in al
most every case, had sought to kill
them. Relatives here concluded that he
had killed Miss Hood though some be-
Iicvcd that the girl still lived, but was

Hood still lived came in a letter re-
ceived by Harold Lorick, young bust
ness man, from Mrs. Cable Hall, at
Ceur GAlene. Years ago Mrs. Hall
was acquainted with Lorick in Virginia
and had his photograph, which she
placed with other photos on her bureau
in the hotel at Ceur dA4ene.
Mrs. Hall writes that woman, pass
ing the open door of her room in the
hotel, saw the photo of Lorick and iden-
tilted it, saying she was Josephine Hood
who had lived in Asheville. AS Mrs.
Hall knew nothing of the marriage, she
asked nothing about it. 1t is believed
that Miss Hood will avoid her relatives

The Value of Silaue.

1t is quite difficult to determine the
value Of corn silage as compared with
well cured corn fodder acre for acre;
but, generally speaking. it is safe to
say that for feeding to the cows an
acre of corn cut ut the proper time
we'll preserved in the siIo is worth -
per cent more than the same acre
would have been were it placed in
shocks and well cured. Possibly this
may be accounted for by the losses
which occur to the corn fodder during
the fall and winter caused by rains
which fall upon the shocks and leach
the soluble portions of the feeding nu-
trients from the leaves and stalks aud
because many of the palatable leaves
are broken off and blown away.

LITTLE PROBLEMS OF

A clever writer brought out book a

woman hopes to marry nowadays. she
has got to compromise"
In looking about at maiden ladies. one
wonders II they are enjoying single bless
edness because they refused to compro-
mise. One wonders also II 1t has been a
compromise with all married people.
Those who start out with impossible
ideals in regard to marriage will. of
course, have to compromise. 1t is not so
much of a compromise as it is a throw
ing overheard Of foolish notions. Boys
and girls cherish certain fanciful ideas
In regard to marriage, born largely of
dreams. When they mix with the world
and begin to know human nature, they
soon discover that no such person as they
had pictured for their soulmate ever
dwelt on this earth. They DISMISS their
dreams with a laugh. They realize that

the faults OF humanity would really be

hope Of being happy. If he knows these
are essential to his happiness, why CON

all the beauty and bloom out of marriage.
The thing TO do Is TO ponder seriously

less than his dreams can still make him
happy, then he viii be wise to relinquish
some Of his demands. But, If after view
ing the matter sensibly, he sees that his
ideals are still worth while. then there
should be no compromise
With most marriages this is probably
what has happened. The impossible has
