turn should be fed out on the farm
and the manure restored to the soil
BY using clover without abusing 1t, it
is possible to increase the supply Of
nitrogen In the soil to almost any ex-
tent, and at the same time maintain
the other elements. These elements
in their available form are constantly
increased by the liberating of the nj
trogen in the soil itself through the
action Of frost, water and tillage; and
hence the use of clover will enable
the farmer to keep his land constantly
in very high state of fertility while
the abuse of 1t will enable him to
make 1t more absolutely and utterly
barren.
Clover hay properly cured makes an
acceptable food for all stock. 1t is
not usually considered a satisfactory
hay for the horse, the dust 1t carries
proving very detrimental. A limited
quantity Of good clover hay may. how
ever, be fed to horses of all kinds
with favorable results. II the hay is
dusty, It should be moistened with
little water before feeding.

Comparatively few know of the in
teresting experiments that are being
carried on at the bulb garden near the
town of Bellingham. Washington, un-
der the direction of the secretary of
agriculture.
For years the United States has
been sending to Holland and Euro
pean countries many thousands of dol
lars annually for hyacinth, tulip, mar
cissus, and crocus bulbs. The pur-
chase of these bulbs had constantly
Increased until the past year, when
over a million dollars worth were i'm
ported.
In 1908 the secretary of agriculture
decided to establish on the Pacific
coast garden for the culture and
propagation Of Holland bulbs, and a
point on Puget Sound near to the
town of Bellingham was selected as
having suitable soil and climate for
this work. A tract Of ten acres was
leased through the Bellingham board
of trade and the necessary buildings
erected and turned over to the depart
ment Of agriculture for the purpose of
demonstrating whether or not the Hol-
land bulbs could be grown successfully
at that point.
The department commenced work at
The Glenwood post., 1912-05-18

'nce, and the same year planted over
10000 bulbs. From that time the
work has gone on increasing until the
present year. when over 869, 900 bulbs
were planted. The increase in the
number of bulbs raised has been very
gratifying; each bulb yielding the
maximum number of young ones,
which have proved equal, If not superi.
or, to the results obtained in Holland.
It Is believed that bulbs can be
grown on the Pacific coast, and of
quality that will compare favorably
with. and in many ways surpass, the
imported article. the cost of produc-
tion and marketing being now the
chief obstacles.
An effort is being made to over
come the differences between the
high price of labor in America and
the cheap labor Of Europe by invent
ing appliances to lessen the hand
labor required in bulb production, and
the substitution Of horse power for
many Of the operations performed
entirely by hand In Europe has re-
duced the cost of production consid-
erably. In this way it is hoped that
growers in the United States will be
able to compete successfully with the
European bulb growers.
The Glenwood post., 1912-05-18

A serious drawback to the produc
ton Of Holland bulbs on the coast
Is the heavy expense of freight ship.
ments across the continent, but when
shipment can be made by water, as
will be the case after the completion
OF the Panama canal, 1t should be pos
sible to deliver such bulbs at the port
OF New York almost as cheaply as
they can be brought from Europe.
Furthermore, the demand for such
bulbs for planting on the Pacific coast
is rapidly increasing
These experiments are solely for
the purpose of showing prospective
bulb growers what can be done in
growing these bulbs in the United
States. The gardens are always open
to the public, and when the bulbs are
in bloom thousands avail them
selves of the opportunity to visit the
gardens and enjoy the flowers. At
that time it is veritable little Hol-
land. Thousands upon thousands Of
hyacinths, tulips and narcissis in all
colors and nearly all in flower at
once can be seen.
Careful records are being kept and
much valuable information is being
collected IN connection with the bulb
experiments which will, eventually, be

DOING WORK FOR HUMANITY
Agencies for esnefcencs In Indian
apolIs Have Established q
Splendid Record.

1t is truly the altruistic age. Few,
indeed, are the men and women in
any community who do nothing for
others than themselves. either
through individual service or through
organization. In Indianapolis the
agencies for beneficence are perhaps
no more numerous than elsewhere.
but there are 80 many Of them as to
prove that wherever a need Of service
Is discovered volunteers quickly arise
ready to render 1t.
There, for example, is the Christ
Child society, a small and unpreten.
tious body formed but q year or SO
ago for the purpose of bringing a hap
py Christmas to as many children as
possible who would otherwise be
without joy on that day, each member
pledging herself to provide for one
child. To become interested in chill
dren for one cause is to find more
than one reason for continuing that
interest. Presently the society under
took to supply layettes for babies for
whose coming no preparation had
been made, working in this case
through the Children's Aid associa.
tlon SO that no duplication would be
made. The importance of pure milk
appealed to 1t next. and last summer
1t became responsible for one of the
free milk stations. The needs of the
italian colony came to its attention,
and with the cooperation Of the Nor.
NAL college it has established a free

at the disposal Of anyone who may
wish to take up bulb growing.
Last year a very interesting exper.
iment was made ON the trial grounds
Of the department of agriculture at
Washington, where test was made
of the bulbs that had been grown at
Bellingham in comparison with those
grown in Holland. Fifty bulbs of the
same varieties Of tulips were plant
ed side by side and given the same
treatment. Those from Bellingham
opened their flowers from seven to ten
days earlier than the Holland-grown
bulbs, were Of better quality in size
of flower and in color, and were re-
markable for the almost total absence
Of disease, while the imported bulbs
showed a large number of diseased
plants, and many of them failed to
produce flower
AS the demand for such flower roots
is increasing rapidly and bids fair to
double in value within a few years,
1t offers a promising field for the in.
vestment Of American capital and the
establishment of a new and profitable
industry on the Pacific coast which
will keep at home the large amount OF
money now being sent abroad an.
nually for bulbs.

Clover is at the same time one o.
the best feeding crops and one of the
best tillage crops. It acts both as a
subsoiler and drainer. The subjects
OF clover and fertility are closely in
terwoven, and although they are as
old as history to many farmers, they
are a new thing, and there are prob
lens connected with them which are
not yet solved.
The abuse Of clover consists in grow

OF 1t consists In growing 1t for stor-

efforts vii; be made by many of these
delegations to hold meetings in the

BY Giving Him Poke Root
to Eat for Horse

Accused of attempting to poison
thirteen-year-old boy by giving
him poke root to eat for horse rad
ish; Richard Bell, horse trader OF
the Industrial addition. was arrested
Tuesday morning by Constable nh-
liam Post and was paced under a
bond of $500 by Justice G.. III. Cor
don for his appearance Friday in
the. Justices court for hearing.
81 The boy who is alleged to have
been the victim OF the attempted
poisoning is Dorsey Howell, son of
Mrs Lucy Howell. of the same
suburb. Mrs. Howell swore out a
warrant against Bel. She says
Bell gave the boy poke root at the
formers home with intent to poison
him, but Bell declares the lad took
the poke root by his own mistake.
The boy was taken i'll, it is declared.
but not seriously so. .
