BENEFICENT BACTERIA

The processes of nature are most
wonderful. The more we study
.hom the more our wonder grows.
Not so many years ago we were al
most entirely ignorant of the I'M
told myriads of bacterial life that
swarm everywhere about US. Many
ore benefcent, many most malevo-
lent and destructive. Germs of dis
oase tuberculosis, typhoid, cancer
and all their death-dealing train
sock ceaselessly an entrance to our
systems to attack us in the citadels
If our life. Some of our best trained
scientists are studying constantly to
discover the best methods of COM
batting their insidious attacks and
to find preventive serums or other
means TO make US immune. Others
are working along the same lines in
the vegetable world; and the rots
and the pests, the smuts and the
mildews are being routed in their
strongholds.
So also scientists are studying the
bene6cent bacteria and how best to
further their good work. It must
he more than decade ago that my
attention was first called to the no.
dule-forming bacteria found on the
alfalfa roots, and to the benefcent
work they do in giving vigor to the
plant and in making available as a
fertilizer the limitless supply of nj
trogen in the atmosphere.
Besides it's great value as a forage
CROP, prime use of alfalfa is in its
power as a fertilizing agency i'll pre-
pairing the soil for other crops of
vegetables or fruit. If the alfalfa
does not thrive under proper care
otherwise, the soil probably needs
to be inoculaled with the nodule-
forming bacteria. This can be de-
termined by an examination of the
roots of the plant to determine
whether or not the nodules that re-
veal the presence of the bacteria are
present. Even though the nature
Of the soil is such that the plant
thrives and makes a good forage
crop, it cannot perform its func-
ton as a fertilizing agency unless
the nodules are present on its roots.
The soil should be inoculated.
| find in late Twice.a-week
Spokesman Review the following
authoritative statement:
Artificial methods of incubation
may be used on ground that has
never before grown alfalfa. Soil on
which alfalfa has previously been
grown is drilled in with the seed at
the rate of from 200 to 500 pounds
per acre. 1t is often necessary to
dry and pulverize the infected earth
before it can be mixed with the
seed or run through the drill. This
work should be done in darkened
room as exposure to the light for a
short time will destroy the nodule-
forming bacteria. The plan of broad
casting infected soils gives good re-
suits when the ground is thoroughly
covered. Either this method, when
thorough, or that of drilling, will
insure results. The soil must be
drilled in with the seed. Pure cul-
lures OF nodule- forming bacteria may
oe secured from the United States
department of agriculture. These
pure cultures come in Theoretically

A GREAT DAIRY STATE.

State Inspector Cochrane Declares Col.
orado's Dairy Business 10 Among
States Largest Assets.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-"Colorado has the making
of the greatest dairy state in the
union." declared State Dairy Inspect
or Cochrane. on his return from the
National Dairy Show In Chicago. II
say this unqualifiedly. after making
most thorough investigation of condi-
tions in other states. and my knowl-
edge Of what we have in this state.
Not only are our grasses and in
some instances our grains and winter
feed superior to those Of other states.
but the climate and water here have
no comparison In any other section OF
the United States.
I'VE have none of tho common odor-
ferrous weeds and rank growths of
grasses in other states. our nights are
cool, and we have three natura! mar
kets for dairy products.
There is q tremendous awakening
to this fact, might add. and tho dairy
business in Colorado has increased 81
per cent. in the last year, with every
indication of being doubled next year.
I was more than ever impressed with
the possibilities of the industry in
Colorado after inspecting conditions
existing in other states"
E. B. Du Pree. deputy state dairy
inspector, completed trip through
Co.orado almost simultaneously with
the return of Inspector Cochrane. He
gather ed statistics. which he is COM
piling. to show the importance OF the
dairy business in Colorado and its In.
crease in the last year.
1.-The most interesting feature of my
trip" caid Inspector Du Prce. "is that
nine out. of every ten farmers and
dairymen whom l visited, made inqui-
ries as to where they could obtain
pedigreed stock. There is an enormous
demand in Colorado for blooded stock
and instead Of paying $40 to $50 head
for ordinary kinds as in the past. dai-
rymen are spending up to $500 and
5000 head and are demanding more.
Tho dairy industry is increasing
greatly in the state. AZ our annual
report will show. It has imitless pos
sibilit.os and have learned recently
that more than 100000 worth of
cheese alone is annually shipped into
the state by one eastern manufacturer
because we have no factory here. It
is more than probable that such.
factory will be built here in 1913"

dral, but the matter is still under the
confederation Of the authorities.
At the British foreign office the
greatest regret was expressed in re-
gard 10 the death Of the American am
bassador. There was also surprise at
the decision Of President Taft not to
appoint q successor. This will leave
the court Of st. Jamcc without q sue
cessor until next March, the longest
period for many years. Sir Edward
Grey, the foreign minister, already
had sent cablegram to James Bryce,
the British ambassador at Washing
ton, requesting him to express to tho
State Department the condolences Of
the British government.
The memorial service in Westmin-
ster Abbey was arranged at the sug-
gestion OF King George. who first sent
his secretary to inquire the wishes Of
the Reid family.
It is understood that Mrs. Reid.
while greatly appreciatins the honor
shown by the offer of British war
ship, would prefer to take the body OF
her husband home on q liner.

may deceive a few who wish to be de-
ccived, but II affects no thinking man.
We have had popular government
in the United States for l25 years.
The American people have enjoyed a
greater degree OF freedom under the
law than any other people on the face
OF the earth. The individual rights
OF every man are maintained and pro-
tected by constitutional forms and
judicial practice. Where one man NAV
suffer from an abuse, 10000 men live
long. useful and ordinary lives. with
out once feeling the restrictions OF
law. What have we had during the
past 125 years IL We have not had a
government OF the people and for the
people? And yet during that time We
have not had a recall OF judges and
we have never had the recall OF a
judicial decision by popular vote.
To advance these new doctrines at
this day. as necessities for the con-
tinuance OF individual liberty and to
denounce those who oppose them as
the opponents OF popular rights, is
such arrant nonsense as only a demo-
gogue blinded by selhshness could be

THE THREAT OF A COAL STRIKE

THE THREAT OF A COAL STRIKE.
The success OF the employees in the
Lawrence strike has no doubt given
the coal miners new hope. The coal
operators will be very wise IL they
reflect carefully on the things that
have happened in the Massachusetts
textile city. Let them stop TO think
that the result was not merely the
granting OF the demands OF the workers.
but the dissemination OF a widespread
hostility toward the employing cor
porations.
This 10 examination day for trusts
and corporations. great and small.
The American people is the court OF
final resort, and few friends at court
are going 10 be necessary when the
final award is made up. The American
people know by this time what a coal
strike really means. They had no
conception OF its significance up to
December I, 1902. With a character
istically happy go lucky manner they
went about their business up TO the
very beginning OF cold weather that
year, with little idea that the results
would be serious.
In almost any northern city. coal
could be bought that fall up to about
October at an advance OF a dollar or
two a ton. And yet people took things
with such calm good nature, that they
were caught in the cruel trap which
this unique industrial quarrel had set
for them.
No one has ever guessed how many
sick. frail. aged persons lost their
lives through the sufferings OF the
winter OF 1902. The wealthy sought
sunshine in the south or lived In
hotels. But the wheels OF civilization
came pretty near stopping among the
