The cultivated soil Is medium In
which many species Of bacteria and
fungi survive from year to year. The
public is familiar with the doctrine of
bacterial infection or incubation Of
the soil In its relation to the nodules
or tubercles Of clover, alfalfa, soy
beans. cowpeas and other cultivated
plants.
One form of bacterium is not suf-
fclent for both clover and alfalfa.
This flora Of the soil both in relation
to bacteria and fungi Of considerable
range Of species, is enriched by the
applications of manure and by the
practices Of culture; by this is meant
that the growing Of a given crop
second time or third time consesu-
lively In the soil increases the prob
ability that the plant roots remaining
In the soil are carried over from one
crop to the next together with root
parasites which cause disease In the
plants Of this crop. Manifestly, like
wise. II In preparation for q given
crop to be grown for the first time
upon the land, rather liberal applica.
tions are made OF fresh stable manure
containing spores or mycelium, more
especially the resting forms Of myce-
lium called sclerotia, the soil will be-
come infected by this manurial appli-
cation.
While this source Of infection is
rather rare In field culture there are
specific examples as In the scab dis
ease Of potatoes transmitted In this
way; the scab Of sugar beets may be
carried In like manner. But in fore.
'ng house culture where heavy appli-
cations OF manure are made, the
chances are greatly increased that soil
infection will be produced from the
manure.

DRIVING HOGS IS
QUITE DIFFICULT
Bunch Of Animals Started In
Pursuit of Ear Of Corn Can
BE Coaxed to Go
Anywhere.
tBy r. @. wEATHERsroNE3


The hog is Of naturally obstinate
disposition. and will resist the idea OF
being driven from one place to an.
other. II 1t Is desired to move the hogs
from one field to another 1t Is far bet.
ter to use decoy than to undertake
TO drive them.
In driving hogs 1t is very difficult to
get them to see the open gate as their
eyes are usually turned In another
direction looking to be attacked.
The wild hogs when attacked, hud.
die up In a compact bunch, turn their
heads outward and watch every mo-
ton OF the enemy.
The domesticated hog has not
entirely lost this wild instinct and
naturally takes 10 the same plan OF
defense.
The hog has ravenous appetite,
and an ear Of corn is one Of the most
tempting morsels that can be used to
overcome the natural instinct Of the
hog.
II an ear Of corn is dragged along
the road at the end OF cord eight
or ten feet long. and Just kept out Of
reach OF the hog he will forget every.
thing else and pursue the ear Of corn
dght through cornneld or anywhere
else without stopping to notice the
opportunities for forage offered by his
surroundings.

suit Of an ear Of corn and they forget

The Fredericktown w. G. T. U. met
in regular session at the home of Mrs.
DR.. Eastman on Thursday evening,
Feb. 8. After the usual devotionals
and reading of the minutes of the prev
ious meeting, different items of busi-
ness were discussed. A notice from
the county corresponding secretary
was read, saying that the mid-year
county meeting would be held at An
kenytown, Feb. 28 and 20, with con-
test the evening of the 2Sth. Reports
showed that about 200 had signed the
anti-cigarette petition and over 125
the petition to the constitutional con
vention asking that women be given
the full right of suffrage In the new
constitution. A very pleasing letter
was read from Rev. McClelland, our
delegate from Knox county to the
convention. 1t was decided to observe
Frances Willard day Feb. II, by hav'
ing special meeting that day from
2 till o'clock in the afternoon al
the home of Mrs. Ada Carr. A fine pro
gram will be rendered. Each member
is urged to be present and every one
bring one guest. Letters of sympathy
were ordered sent to our sick mem
bers and those who had recently been
bereft OF friends.
Other motions were passed which
will develop in the future. We hope
for the benefit of our town. After a
reading by Mrs. Howard we adjourned
