AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION.
Legume Crops and the Nitrogen
Supply.

There can be no doubt that the
greatest deficiency of Kentucky
soils is nitrogen, A deficiency of
one element of plant food limits
crop production, although all the
other elements might be present
in abundance. Hence the great
est single factor IN restoring our
soils to fertility is increasing the
nitrogen supply, No one, not
even the fertilizer manufacturer,
now contends that nitrogen can
be profitably bought in CONNER
cial fertilizers in quantities re-
quired by crops. There is only
one source from which nitrogen
may be economically obtained in
sufficient quantities, and that is
from the air by the growing of
leguminous crops (clovers, cow
peas, etc). Enoungh legumes
must be growps ha. rotation to
supply nitrogen the soil for all
the crops that cannot obtain it
from the air, (such as corn,
wheat, etc. and to replace that
which is constantly being lost in
the drainage waters. The nitro.
gen supply cannot be kept up by
merely growing legumes IN the
rotation and harvesting them
and not returning the manure in
good condition. Two thirds of
the nitrogen of :he manure is ex-
creted in the urine. This is gen.
orally lost. As manure is usual
ly handled by throwing it out in
piles, two thirds of the nitrogen
of the solid manure is easily lost
by heating and teaching IN from
four to six months. Ordinarily
not more than one third to one
sixth of the nitrogen in the feed
consumed is returned to the soil
IN the manure.
In order to keep up the nitro
gen supply there must be an a.
bundance of legumes in the rOta-
tion, and all manure produced
must be carefully saved and re-
turned to the soil. The most
practical way to handle the man
ure is to use sufficient bedding to
absorb the urine, and then spread
the manure as fast as made. 1t
is generally spread on the sod to
be turned for corn, but it may
be spread on meadows a year be-
fore breaking for corn. When it
is impossible to remove the man
ure it is safest to allow it to ac-
cumulate in the stalls. In case
it must be piled outside the stalls
it should be closely compacted to
exclude the air, and protected
ed from rains, either by Gaping
with straw or by shelter.
1t may be necessary now and
then to turn under legume crop
in order to keep up the nitrogen
supply. The following rotation
is used on the Experiment Sta

MARK GRAVE OF HEROINE
Clubwomen to Preserve Memory of
Woman Who Gave Life to Help
Smallpox Sufferers.

Clubwomen, assisted by the doc
tors of North Billerica, Mass, are TAX
ing steps to preserve the memory of
Sarah Hodgeman, who gave her life
more than a century ago in her efforts
to help neighbors who were suffering
from smallpox 1t happened during
the smallpox epidemic in 1911. On
learning that family of four persons
with two guests were i'll with the dis
ease, and had no one to help them,
Miss Hodgeman, against the protest of
her family and friends, entered the
infected house and did all in her pow.
er for its inmates.
Within two weeks it was noticed
that the customary smoke did not curl
from the chimney. Some of the towns
folk finally mustered up courage to In
vestigate. 1t was found that the en-
tire household, Sarah Hodgeman in
cluded, had died of the disease. It is
now proposed to erect monument in
the place of the old gray headstone
which marks her grave.

Hope Not Realized.

Dean Sumner of the Cathedral IS.
Peter and Paul related the following
story at the recent banquet Of the
Chicago Association of Commerce at
the Hotel Sherman. "a little Jewish
boy went to his father on Christmas
day and asked him for a quarter.
Upon receiving it he sauntered out
into the city streets and didn't return
until evening His father called him
as he came in and inquired what he
did with the quarter he had been CIV
en-. I went to the candy shop next
door and changed it into nickels,' said
the boy. Then 1 went to the news
stand on the corner and changed the
nickels into pennies. After that 1
went back to the candy shop and got
five nickels for my pennies, and then
went to the delicatessen and got a
quarter for my five nickels.'
But why did you do all that?' de-
manded the father.
"T hoped that somebody might
make a mistake and give me too
much" replied the boy"

FIRST OF ANIMAL HOSPITALS
More Than 1000 Years Ago One Was
Established in India, Says
an Authority.

The New York women who have
opened free animal dispensary in
this city are regarded as pioneers in q
good work. AS matter of fact one
must go to the Orient and look back
more than 1000 years to find the first
animal hospital known.
The famous Buddhist emperor of In
dia, Asoka, whose long reign from 264
to 227 B. C. abounded in many good
works, was probably the earliest to
establish a hospital for the treatment
Of animals, says Our Dumb Animals.
Asoka was q true humanitarian as
well as a most powerful sovereign and
although ruling a vast domain be-
came deeply impressed by the horrors
Of warfare.
He gave up his desire for conquest
and the rock inscriptions, which are
stin extant. record such beneficent
edicts Of his as the counseling of
planting shade trees, the digging OF
wells, sending out OF missionaries, APP
pointment of special officers to SUPER
wise charities, the establishing Of hos
pitfalls for human kind and animals.
1t is of interest to know that the
last remaining Of Asoka's hospitals
was devoted to animals. 1t covered
twenty-five acres and was divided into
proper wards and courts for the &C
commodation of the patients. When
an animal was sick or injured it's
master had only to bring it to the hos
pital, where it was cared for without
regard to the caste of it's owner, and
where, if necessary, it found an asy-
lum in old age.

CRABS WALK OF 90 MILES
Recent Experiments In &f
-.1 England.

Some remarkably interesting de-
tails regarding the movements and the
homing instinct Of the edible crab
were presented to the Eastern Sea
Fisheries Committee. During the
past two years Fishery Inspector H.
Donnison has been carrying out in
vestigations on behalf of the COM
mittee, and the results of his work
cannot fail to be OF considerable use
to those concerned in biological res.
search. RS s..fkq
In the course of an exhaustive rea
port he stated that between July and
September, 1910, nearly two thousand
crabs were captured, and after being
labeled were again set free along the
Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts. The
crabs had recently cast their Shells.
and new ones were then in process
of hardening. So,
Rewards were paid to fishermen
upon returning the crabs when recap
tured. They were returned to the sea
at varying distances from the shore,
and up to the present 81 per cent of
the labeled crustaceans had been re-
captured and full data tabulated.
With regard to the Norfolk crabs
liberated in the places from which
they were originally obtained, fifty
two were recaptured within one mile
of their first home, but one travelled
as far as Marlborough Head, a dis
lance of ninety-eight statute miles.
Nearly three hundred, had travelled
only three or four miles from where
they were originally taken.-London
