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 a crop of pea vines
grown Of n 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 tho
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
crease 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 If the
leguminous crops are turned under,
but that IN a very fertile soil raw
phosphate rock will pay better, espe-
cially when used with stable manure
or leguminous crops. In most cases
1t 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, DR.. TAFT Butler says: For
many years to come the blowing I'M
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
terial for the production of lean meat,

TWENTY OTHER VESSELS IN GREAT
LAKES GO ASHORE.
FROZEN BODIES ASHORE
The Total Loss of Life and Property in
Four Days Storm Is Probably the
Greatest in HistOry-Death List
May Increase.

Chicago.-The toll of the loss Of life
and property in the four days storm
which swept the Great Lakes is just
beginning to be counted. Revised re-
ports received show that at least thir-
teen steamers were wrecked and are abb
solute losses. Twenty others are known
to have gone ashore, while more than
twenty-five are missing. The dead or
missing so far known totals 140 and it
is known the list may reach 200 when
missing steamers are heard from. The
loss on known wrecked steamers is 49,
5uu.OO0. THIS is exclusive of cargoes.
Most of the boats had cargoes of iron
ore, coal and grain. The loss on this

time would be mere guess work.
Two important additions to the list
of wrecks came from Lake Huron. They
were the steamers James Carruthers,
the largest freighter on the lakes, which
sank near Goderich, and the Charles
Price, lost off Grand Bend. The Car
ruthers carried a crew of twenty-five,
ana the Price twenty-eight. All hands
were reported lost. Lake Superior add

hopes for her safety have been aban-

The vessel wrecked on Angus Island,
in Lake Superior, has been identified as
the Leafield. Her crew Of fifteen is
missing. The identity of the steamer
which turned turtle near Port Huron,
in Lake huron, is still a mystery. She
may be one of three vessels, all miss
ing-the Wexford, the Regina or the f..
A. S. Clark. The tug Martin, reported
lost off st. Martins Island, in Lake
Michigan, is safe. The lost vessel was
the barge Plymouth, which sank with a
crew of seven.
The bodies washed ashore neal Kettle

the fact that we can grow leguminous

on legumes although the rations may
often be narrow. Legumes mean rich

SPENCER FOUND.
GUILTY Of MURDER
AFTER HEARING DEATH SENTENCE
PRISONER CURSES COURT.
He ATTACKS HIS COUNSEL
After Two Hours Deliberation, and Only
One Dissenting Vote, Death Sen
tence Is Verdict-Prisoner Con-
feSSsd Killing 20 Persons.

Chicago.-Henry Spencer was found
guilty of the murder of Mrs. Mildred
Acknowledgement by a jury in the county
court at Wheaton. He was sentenced to
death by hanging,
"They got mey declared Spencer, as
he heard the verdict read by the foreman
of the jury; "by God, they got me-"
Spencer then put his face in his hands
Z and a shudder ran through his body.
Suddenly jumping to his feet, the pris-
orer turned to the district attorney, then
to Judge Slusser, and cursed them, as
well as members Of the jury and court
officials.
When his attorney asked the court for
permission to argue for a new trial, the
man without 9 soul" turned savagely
upon his counsel and yelled:
Il am going to hang tonight! Shut
up!"
The death penalty was fixed by the
jury, which returned a verdict after two
hours de%liberation. The first ballot was
IL to l for the death penalty, and the
second was unanimously in favor Of
sending Spencer to the gallows,
Spencer was arrested Oct. 5, accused
of having lured Mrs. ReXroat to Wayne,
ILL.,, and placing her body on the railroad
track after he had shot her to death,
Mrs. Retreats body was found early IN
the morning of Sept. 81.
Immediately after his arrest Spencer
began a wholesale confession, in which
he declared he had murdered 20 persons,
most of them women. Although the po-
lice proved that Spencer could not have
committed many of these murders, they
still maintain the belief that he killed
at least one or two women in addition
to the dancing teacher.
Ever since his arrest Spencer sas in
sisted that he be given the death pen
atty, When his trial began, however, his
attitude in the court room was one Of
such violence that Prosecutor Hadley
saw it a well defined attempt to estab-
fish the belief that the defendant was in
sane.
Spencer was the only witness to take
the stand for the defense. He testified
and for fifteen minutes held the atten-
ton of the court while he cursed and
reviled his own counsel and the states
attorney.

INVESTIGATION ON
SOUTHERN FARMS
L%eguminous Crops Occupy I'M
portant Place on Every Farm.
PLANTS HAVE HIGHEST VALUE
Must Be Grown In Cotton Belt to Eco
nomicaily Enrich Our Cultivated
Lands and to Furnish Proper
Food for Live Stock.
(By G. H. ALFORDN

Legumlnous crops have q very i'm
portant place in every safe and sane
system Of farming. These crops possess
q characteristic which makes them of
the highest value to the farmers. This
Is the power to utilize the free nitro
gen OF the soil air. When we examine
the roots Of l~uxuriantly growing
leguminous plants, we find numerous
nodules or tubercles on them. These
tuDercles are caused by certain or
ganlsms or bacteria in the soil. 1t now
seems that there is a special form of
bacteria for each legume grown,
though some forms of bacteria in time
learn to live on two or more legumes.
1t is a matter of great Importance
to furnish the soil lacking the neces-
sary organisms with a good supply of
the right kind of bacteria. There are
several methods Of putting the neces-
sary bacteria in the soil. A good way
of inoculating the soil is to soak the
seed at planting time in water In

legume has been successfully grown
for a number of years has been stirred.
Another excellent way of inoculating
the soil is to drill in with the seed
soil in which that particular legume
has been grown for a number of years.
Care should be taken to keep the soil
out of the sunshine from the time it
Is taken from the field until it is work
ed into the soil of the next, as the
rays Of the sur will kill the bacteria.
1t is best to get the soil and apply it
on a cloudy day, or late in the after
noon.
Nitrogen is the costliest element of
plant food and is becoming scarcer
and dearer SO far as it's commercial
forms are concerned. This being true,

air and a medium through which it
can be stored up for the use Of sue
ceeding crops is Of the highest i'm
p~ortance and utility to use as farm
ers. Experiments conducted at the
Alabama station showed that a crop
of pea vines grown on an acre of
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 a crop Of peanuts
contained 1872 pounds Of nitrogen, an
acre Of velvet beans 1911 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 c%ottonseed meal.
The questions Is often asked II 1t Is
necessary to pillow 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 MANURE
all value Of the entire weight Of the
leguminous 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, eve when the
r is grazed off or cut for hay.
The live stock farmer should seldom
pillow under the leguminous crop. The
stock should Craze off the crop or IL
should be harvested and fed to the
