is done for them the less they do
for themseles, in that respect re-
sembling very closely a trait of
human character.
On medium poor soils probably
not more than from 10 to Is per
'ent of the nitrogen in the le-
June crop comes from the soil
out in soil not inoculated all of
the nitrogen in the plants comes
from the soil, and even in very
rich inoculated soils a large part
of the nitrogen may come from
the soil.
This shows the folly of using a
complete FERTILIZER Or one con-
tanning nitrogen when the legumes
are used for the purposes of adj
ding nitrogen to the soil. When
hay is desired, the application of
a heterogeneous fertilizer may be
advisable, especially a small guam
tity to give the crop a tasrt, but
the legumes do not take as large
a proportion of the nitrogen they
use from the air if they can get it
readily from the soil or fertili-
zers applied.
Nitrogen Taken From the Air is
Used by the Plant.
Probably the most common err
ror we come in contact with is
the idea that the nitrogen gather
ed by the bacteria on the roots of
legumes is stored in the nodules
and left on the roots Or in the soil.
This error is quite common and
has led some to conclude that as
much nitrogen is added to the
soil when the legumes crop is cut
for hay as when the whole crop
is plowed under or grazed off.
The nitrogen gathered by the
bacteria from the air is gathered
for their own use or for the
use of the plants on which they
are living. These nodules are
found to consist of mere shells
in mature plants, and the nitrogen
they formerly contained has been
consumed in, the growth of the
1t is not stored in the
soil, but in the plant-roots, stems,
leaves and seed.
From 10 to 80 per cent of the
in the entire plant is
found in the roots and stubble.
The larger the roots and stubble
and the more leaves on the land
the larger the proportion of nj
trogen that was contained In the
entire plant, that is left on the
soil.
This may be as much nitrogen
as any crop needs the next year
and, therefore, it is not upsual
that for the first year the increase
in the yield of the following
crops is as great, when only the
roots and stubble are left as
when the entire plant is plowed
under, and this is one reason for
the prevalence of the error referr-
ed to. However, the greater
amount of humus-forming mat
erial from the whole crop usual
ly gives better results. This does
not mean that the whole crop
should always be plowed under,
but on poor land, deficient in
humus, it may pay well to thus
use the whole crop-Dr, TAFT

Method of Pruning Peach Trees

The peach tree should be prun-
ed to make it as perfect in shape
as possible, leaving on enough of
the strong twigs to bear fruit and
supply twigs for the next years
fruit, as we'll as to insure a good,
but excessive growth of wood.
Then thin and thin intelligently +;
there is no class of work that pays
as well as it does to thin. We
should all try to reach that hap
Ply medium that enables us to
raise the largest crop of first
class fruit and still keep our trees
in good, healthy condition.

Origin of Black Java.

The modern Black Java is in de-
scription and appearance a Black
Plymouth Rock, and is said to
have come largely from the
black culls which were produced
quite numerously in the early days
of the Barred Roock. The. early
Black Javas were Black Cochins,
the birds going by both names.

Pruning Fruit Trees

Until apple trees begin to bear
the foundation branches should be
cut back annually to make them
short and strong to support heavy
loads Of fruit without breaking
down. After fruiting begins not
much pruning is necessary, except
to thin out surplus growth and to
keep the tree symmetrical. AL
ways .prune from the top down,
and not from the bottom up.

The Execution of Beattie.

The New York World says: Beat
ties confession that he murdered his
wife was not needed as final proof of
his guilt. That had been established
to the satisfaction Of all unprecedented
persons, and the prisoners vertical
tion OF the verdict was superfuous.
Yet the confession will have the good
moral effect Of quieting any scruples
that may have existed as to the exc
cution Of a murderer convicted on
purely circumstantial evidence and of
thereby quashing the case of the SEN
timentalists who sought on that
ground to secure communication OF sem
tence.
mo one saw Beattie kill his wife.
1t was p0 sible that some one else
had committed the crime. but in the
highest degree improbable in the face
of the proof of motive and IN view of
the strong chain OF discriminating cir
cumstances drawn about the defend
ant by the prosecution. Yet the re-
mote contingency Of error sufficed to
inspire an extraordinary appeal for
what would have been mistaken act
of Executive clemency. The wisdom
Of Gov. Mann's resistance OF the pres
sure brought to bear on him to inter-
fere with the finding of the courts is
now confirmed.

Coming Down TO Clark?

Representative Nickliffe, of Louis
lana, expresses the opinion thai
Speaker Champ Clark, of the House
OF Representatives, ig the most like,
II nominee, Of the Democrats fol-
President Of the United States next
year: He reaches his conclusion ry
s process Of elimination or |l1hrougo
Ia course of negative reasoning
Woodrow Wilson, Judson Harmon
Oscar Underwood and Champ Clark
are the four most prominent figures
In consideration for the nomination.
Hearst and Murphy, the Tammany
leader, he finds, will never consen;
to Wilscl, Hearst and Bryan are op'
posed to Harmon and Bryan has
barred Underwood as an acceptable
candidate. Mr.. Wicklifre thinks thu:
Hearst. Murphy and Bryan will have
to be satisfied. and he believes tina!
only Clark, of the four candidates
considered, will be acceptable to all
Of them, therefore he concludes thar
Clark will be the nominee.
In commenting on the above the
Charleston Post says ut will come to
pretty pass, indeed, II the Demo
r.atic party will have to pass over
strong, capable leaders to choose P
mediocre man as its candidate for
President because Of the opposition
Of three individuals. Mr.. Bryan Is ,
respectable figure, to be sure, and
has a great following, despite his
three defeats for the Presidency. He
Is man Of principle and moral
leader, who has made a deep i'm
preston upon the politics Of his time,
but he is not the dictator Of the par
tvs fortunes, though he might have
it In his power to affect them ad.
yersely.
Murphy Is q disreputable boss,
guardian certain narrow interests,
and while the support of Tammany
Is always a matter OF Importance.
the time has not ccme when its dis
pleasure should bar the way Of the

self-seeker and q msrplot. He has
been in and out Of the Democratic

Taft is q Dead Duck.

The Philadelphia North American,
a staunch Republican newspaper,
sent it's Washington correspondent,
Angus McSween, to Indiana 20 report
impartially on conditions there. This
is a part of the report he sent back to
his paper:
Indiana Is hopelessly lost to
President Taft and the Republicans.
From no indications is it possible to
reason that they will be as strong
as they were in the last election,
when they lost every congressional
district but one, and control of the
legislature. Since then the rapid
development of progressive republi-
can sentiment into an open hostility
to the Taft administration, and the
reactionary policies which he advo-
cafes, makes it obvious that with
Taft as the Republica ncandidate
again, the vote against him in this
State will be overwhelming"
AS We have said before, Taft Is a
dead duck. If the Republicans en-
ter the next campaign with him as
their candidate they will De disas.
trously defeated If, as the Green
Vile News says, al the Democrats
vote the Democratic ticket. But We
do not believe that Taft will be a
candidate before the Republican Ma
tional Conveation. We agree with
the New York World that the Dem
ocrats must get ready to lefeat Teddy
Roosevelt as the Republican candi'
date.

Most Diseraceful Affair.

Four OF the brutes who confessed
to q mSrticip :t'oE IN the tarrias Ok
a young lady SCHOOL teacter at lin
coin Centre, Han,as. has feen seu-
t,nced to one year in jail, which ts
the worst punishment that could be
inflicted by the courts OF Kansas for
such a crime. 1t is hard to belie'e
that such a disgraceful crime could
be committed in q civilized country,
and 1t is pity that the brutes who
committed it escaped with such light
punishment. Some Of the men who
have confessed to being guilty of this
horrible crime are rich and leaders
in the community, but did not save
them.
The young lady teacher who was
tarred was very pretty and popular.
and some of the young women in the
town in which she was teaching be-
came insanely jealous Of her and be-
gan to make plans to kill her popu.
larity. They told certain young mar
ried women that the young teacher
was taking on with their husbands.
This angered the young married wo-
men, and they Immediately took steps
to get even. When tE' young hus-
bands heard that she was boasting
that she had them Eat her feet" so
to speak, and urged them to resent 1t.
The result was that the little town
was stirred from center to circum-
ference. The young husbands and
single young men held meeting and
determined to punish the young pret-
ty school teacher they had been told
was doIg so much talking about he1
conquests over them. After some
deliberation thty determined that she
should be punished, and they de-
cided upon the most cruel torture
they could think Of, which was to
apply hot tar to her person. The
young teacher was invited to dance,
and on her way IN a buggy with
man in the plot, she was taken from
/
nearby woods. There her clothes
were torn from her body and hot ia!
poured on her.
The cowardly brute, who had de.
coyed the young woman from hel
home on the pretense of taking hel
to dance, was first arrested, and
coward like, he told on the others
who, he said, had paid him for acting
his part in the horrible drama. Sew.
eral arrests were made, including
some prominent men, socalled, Of the
town. When they were brought tt
trial four Of them confessed and two
more have been convicted. Men com.
hitting such a crime as this on 6
defenceless woman are brutes Of &
low order, and no punishment would
be toe severe for them. TO start
with they should have been tarred as
/ they tarred the young woman and
then sent to prison.
