Queer Taxes Abroad.

There are some queer taxes imposed
In some of the countries Of the old
world.
In Servia vanity is taxed. n 40 per
cent tax on wigs. on rouge and on pads
and bustles
Bachelors are heavily taxed in sew
eral countries. but spinsters every
where escape this impost
Matrimony is taxed in China. and the
older the bridegroom is than the bride
the greater the tax levied on him. 1t
is the wise Chinese theory that when
an old man gets young wife he is
necessarily a rich old man and one
well able to stand heavy tax.
In Italy salt is taxed. Matches are
taxed in France. These things yield
an enormous revenue. and the tax is
very little felt.
Germany taxes music II you play
the piano you must pay tax. and II
yon sing yon are taxed again.

other leguminous crops, but the live
stock farmer does not need to pillow
under such valuable grazing and hay
crops.
In an experiment conducted at the
Alabama station crop of pea vines
grown on one acre contained As
pounds of phosphoric acid and 101
pounds of potash. The legumes add
only nitrogen to the soil and remove
large quantities Of potash and phos-
phorus, especially when cut for hay
and the hay is sold or the manure
resulting therefrom is not returned to
the land 1t should be emphasized that
the mere growing of legumes or the
introduction of legumes into the farm
rotation will not increase indefinitely
the productivity of the soil. Liberal
applications of phosphoric acid and
potash must be made where the soil
does not contain an abundance OF
these elements.
The farmer who grows leguminous
crops and keep good live stock want
to know whether to use the treated
or untreated phosphate rock to in
Grease the yields of his legumes and
to improve his soil. The conclusions
| draw from a careful study of the re-
suits obtained at several experiment
stations are that on a very poor soil,
acid phosphate will pay better for a
few years, at any rate, even II the
leguminous crops are turned under,
but that on a very fertile soil raw
phosphate rock will pay better. espe-
cially when used with stable manure
or leguminous crops. In most cases
il would seem to be advisable to use
a light application of acid phosphate
with the untreated phosphate rock the
first year, and sometimes for several
years, until the latter gets into action.
Legumes used as winter cover crops
not only transfer nitrogen from the
air to the soil, but at the same time
reduce the teaching out of the plant
food already present in the soil to the
minimum. More humus and more nj
| trogen in the soil and more winter
and early spring grazing are probably
| the greatest needs of the south. These
needs can be fully satisfied by planting
such crops as the vetches or the win.
| ter clovers. In discussing the sub
| jects of legumes as a winter cover
crop, DIR. TAFT Butler says: For
many years to come the blowing un'
der of crops grown as winter cover
crops will be the most practical and
profitable method of increasing the
fertility of our soils and rapid increase
is not likely to occur until this method
becomes general as a frequent and
constant practice"

rich in protein, which furnishes ma

BEST FOR THE BATHROOM

Somehow a bathroom rug is a more

is very likely because water will
splash upon 1t and damp towels and
unslippered feet insist upon seeking
its soft surface. And so. from sheer
sanitary necessity, the bathroom rug
must be washable: and from sheer

purpose. Then from the strips OF

air and a medium through which it
can be stored up for the use of sue
ceeding crops is of the highest i'm
portance and utility to use as farm
ers. Experiments conducted at the
Alabama station showed that a crop
of pea vines grown on an acre or
sandy soil of moderate fertility con-
tanned lis pounds of nitrogen, and an
acre of velvet beans 201 pounds, an
acre of crimson clover 143 pounds and
an acre of hairy vetch 202 pounds. An
experiment conducted at Louisiana
station showed that crop of peanuts
contained 1872 pounds Of nitrogen, an
acre of velvet beans 191 pounds and
an acre of COW peas 10S pounds. When
calculated according to the scale OF
fertilizer valuation, the value OF nitro
gen was equivalent in amount to that
contained in from 1,750 pounds to
more than one ton of cottonseed meal.
The questions is often asked If 1t is
necessary to plow under the legumin-
GUS crops in order to increase the nj
trogen in the soil. OF course, the per
cent of the fertilizer value of the
fallen leaves, stems and roots Of the
leguminous crops left in the fed at
harvesting time vary. However, the
fallen leaves, stems and roots usually
contain about one-third of the manuri-
al value of the entire weight of the
Ieguminous crops. This being true
we are in a position to assert posi-
lively that the nitrogen in the soil will
be largely increased by the growing
of leguminous crops, even when the
crop is grazed of or cut for hay.
The live stock farmer should seldom
plow under the leguminous crop. The
stock should Craze of the crop or II
should be harvested and fed to the
