Things to Forget.

If you see a tall fellow ahead Of
a crowd,
A leader of men, marching fear
less and proud,
And you know of a tale whose
mere telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a skeleton hidden
away
In a closet, and guarded, anc
kept from the day
In the dark; and whose showing,
and sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow
and lifelong dismay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it,
If you know Of a thing that will
darken the joy
Of a man, or a woman. a girl OF
a boy,
That will wipe out smile, or the
least way annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness tt
cloy,
Its a pretty good plan to forget it

THE SOY BEAN, A GOOD SOIL BUILDER.

THE SOY BEAN, A GOOD SOIL BUILDER.
trates are formed from the nitrogen
contained In organic matter The nj
trates are exceedingly soluble, and un-
less soon made use Of by growing
crops they are washed out OF the soil.
Nitrogen is therefore usually the first
element to become exhausted.
Fostunately there are certain species
of bacteria that can use atmospheric
nitrogen, Of which there is an mex
haustlble supply. One family Of
plants, the legumes. has learned to ex-
change work with these bacteria, and
these plants are thus easily supplied
with an abundance of nitrogen In a
form they can use. When these nitro.
gen fixing bacteria are present in a
soil on which u leguminous crop is
growing the bacteria invade the roots
Of the legume and live there Thcir
presence Is usually made manifest by
swelllngs-the so called tubereles-on
the roots of thrifty plants Of clover,
alfalfa, beans, peas and other legumes.
The tissues OF legumlnous plants be-
come very rich In nltrogenous COM
pounds, and when they decay in the
soil they set free large amounts Of nj.
trates for the use Of crops.
The cultivation OF legumlnous crops
is one Of the most important and eco
nomlcal means Of maintaining n sup
ply OF heterogeneous plant food In the
soil. Nitrates may of course be sup
piled In commercial fertilizers, but fer
tilizers containing nitrogen are very
expensive, and II usually pays better
to supply nitrogen by growing legumes
or by the application Of stable manure,
which Is rich In nitrogen when proper
ly handled. In good farm practice
both stable manure aud legumlnous
crops are used as sources Of nitrogen.
In order TO produce n ton Of dry hay
ION an acre Of land II is necessary that
the growing grass pump up from that
acre approximately 500 tons OF water.
The soil must not only be In condition
10 absorb and hold water well. but II
must he porous enough TO permit wa.
der to 1ow freely from soil grain Ia
toll grain. The presence OF large quan.
Ities OF dec0ying organic matter thu.
mus adds enormously to the water
holding capacity of the soil. Not only
> chat, but the shrlnkage Of the particles
OF decaylng organic matter and the
consequent loosenlng of soil grains
keep the soil open and porous.
Furthermore, humus Of good quality
is exceedingly rich in both nitrogen
&, and mineral plant food, The malnte'
nance Of fertility may almost be said
to consist In keeping the soil well sup
piled with humus. The first step Ia
renovatlng wornout soils Is to give
them an abundant supply OF humus OF

SOIL RENOVATION.
By W. J. SNLLMAN, AgricuIturist Ia

partmeCt Of Agriculture.

TNHERE is vast difference in
the natural fertility Of soils.
Some do not produce we'll from
the start unless special atten-
tion is given to making them produc-
tive, Others produce large crops for a
short time and then rapidly diminish
in fertility, while others, known as
strong soils, remain productive for
many years without attention to their
fertility. But even the strongest soils
will wear oht in time unless they are
intelligently managed.
Plants In their growth make use Of
thirteen chemical elements, nine Of
which they secure directly from the
soil. These are called the mineral
plant foods. They are phosphorus, po-
tassillm, calcium, magnesium, sodium,
iron. silicon, chlorine and sulphur.
The growing plant requires four 9TH
er elements. rs follows: Hydrogen,
which 1t secures from water; oxygen,
which II secures partly from water
and partly from the air; carbon, which
is secured from carbonie acid gas 10

Nitrogen Is in many respects the
most. Important Of all the plant food
elements. 1t is not found in apprecia-
BILE quantities in the rock particles of
the soil. Ordinary plants depend for
their nitrogen entirely on decaying Or

DR.. WILSON FACES A DILEMMA

The Presidentelect can scarcely afford to sur
render his well known principles at time when
the spoils system is under general condemna-
ton than in any period since Andrew Jackson in
public career has been outspoken opponent OF
the spols idea and vouble friend of the merit
system. His attitude has been generally known
that his abandonment at this time would prejudice
his administration at the otuset. He has SO siren
uously opposed being considered the ordinary poll
tican that his abrupt change Of front would be
more remarkable than If his high pretensions had
never been made.
Dr. Wilson has desired to be regarded as
much more than a mere party leader. From the
moment that he was nominated for governor OF
New Jersey, he has represented himself as non
partisan pubcist with Democratic leanings, much
more DESTROYS of instituting good government than
in the triumph of exclusive party policies.
The Civil Service Reform league has included
him in its membership and has tacity conceded
his leadership One of its tenets is that merit shall
rule in the public service, that capable officer
shall be retained without reference to his pohtcai
affiliations II he adheres to that belief, and FOL
lows IL in his official attitude he will bring much
disappointment to his hungry followers; II he re-
nounces it, and proves himself spokesman, public
confidence in his administration will be shattered
at the beginning and his opportunity for encient
service will be greatly lessened 1t is not an agree
able position for the incoming executive, but 1t goes
with the high office he sought and he must endure

THE POWER OF THOUGHT

The following from Senator John ID. Works OF
California is least worthy of careful thought and
consideration In line with Shakesperes statement,
There's nothing good bad but thinking makes
it So" there would appear to be some good logic
in it.
The people are being taught to think of sick
ness disease and death when they should be
thinking of health and life. Doctors are travel
ing all the country describing the symptoms
and causes of tuberculosis and other life destroy
ing diseases, not only to grown men and women
but to school children They describe the so
called disease germs or microbes and their eff
fects on the body, and picture, by word OF mouth
and by charts. illustrated lectures and moving
pictures the ravages of the disease. These hor
rifying and gruesome pictures and senseless and
inhuman details of the causes and ravages OF
disease excite the very fear that breeds and fos.
ters disease These lectures are given in the
schools and innocent children are made their
victims Instead of being encouraged 1t should
be made crime.

DON'T CARE FOR EXPENSE

The minority members of the state senate evil
IDENTIFY don't care for expense, just they get some
jobs for their friends On Saturday evening last
tie Republican members caucused and decided up
on the senate official staff for the session. Each
official draws four dollars per day. and among the
list there were no Democrats. When the caucus
list was presented to the senate for confirmation
Senator Olsen Of Sanpete is reported in the News
as follows
Senator Olson offered an amendment by say
ing: There is always room for one more and |
have two amendments to offer. / would like to
include in the list the name of w. X Burnham
of Cache as a messenger and e. p. Thomander
of Sanpete assistant doorkeeper." Senator
Olson then made lengthy talk stating the quail
fcations of his candidates for these positions.
On a vote the amendment defeated and the
resolution carried.
Now Cache county citizens would very much
nave liked to see Cache county citizen, also a
Sanpete county citizen the official staff, but there
is no sense in the saying, there is always room
for one more" According to the logic of the Sem
ator there would be limit to the creation Of Of
fcers in order to satisfy the politicians Why Gre
ate two Offices at 81 per day each to satisfy the
minority when there are already sufficient officials
to do the work of the senate? Does it not seem
that the minority do not what expense is Gre
ated Just so It gets what 1t wants?
