LeBuminous crops have very i'm

system Of farming. These crops possess
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 luxuriantly growing
leguminous plants, we find numerous
nodules or tubercles on them. These
tubercles are caused by certain or
ganisms or bacteria In the soil. 1t now
seems that there Is 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 n 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
which the soil from field where the
legume has been successfully grown
for number OF years has been stirred.
Another excellent way of inoculating
the soil Is to drill In with the seed

In ample exercise, that may be pro.
vided by a large pasture, or even by
driving slowly a mile or so each day.
The necessity of exercise should not
under any circumstances be over
looked.
1t should be borne in mind in the
second place that the main demands
upon the SOW are those for the build
ing of new tissue. Hence, the kind Of
feed is important. What are known
as the heterogeneous or protein-bearing
feeds are needed at this time. These
are bran, ollmeal, peas, beans, oats
and barley, and, to a moderate ex-
tent, wheat. The forage plants that
are especially suitable to pregnant
brood sows are the clovers and their
relatives, alfalfa, peas, beans, vetches,
etc. The ordinary pasture grasses
are also of much value.

Buy and haul the fertilizer you need

LOST U. S. WOMAN FOUND

ness and Had Tainted.

Rome.-Mrs. William Mansfield, the
American woman, : whose disappear
ance has caused much anxiety to her
friends and occasioned an investiga-
ton by the Italian authorities, has
been found in Venice, according to a
dispatch to the Giornale d'Italia.
Mrs Mansfield arrived in Venice a
fortnight ago and took room at a
boarding house, which she left. The
police came upon her lying uncon-
scious in the street and removed her
to hospital. On regaining conscious
ness the woman said that she had
been overcome by illness and had
tainted. She remained in the hospital
all night and left in the morning.
The police say she told them she
belonged to a wealthy New York fam
lily, and that the name Of her hus-
band, from whom she was separated,
was William Mansfield.
Mrs. Mansfield left Salo, on Lake
Garda, about two weeks ago after
cashing an American check for $50 at
bank. She said she was going to
Verona to buy paint brushes, but there
is no trace of her having stayed at
any hotel in Verona. Apparently she
went direct to Venice.

EXCELLENT TIME FOR LAYING
Not Advisable to Have Pullets Pro-
dueing Eggs Before October
Cold Weather flinders.

Many poultry raisers believe that
the sooner pulIets start laying the
greater the financial returns will be,
but this is not always the case. 1t is
not advisable to have pullets laying
before October at the earliest, except
in the few cases where winter eggs
are not wanted. If the birds start lay
ing earlier than October the cold
weather comes around, and probably
will not start again until the winter
is nearly over. If they start laying
by July or August, as very early
Matched pullets sometimes do, they
usually moult in the fall and do not
lay again until February. But it is
equally bad If they do not start laying
by the middle Of November as they
probably will not start in until the end
Of January at the earliest and perhaps
not until the end of February or the
beginning of March.
The time the pullets are Matched
has more to do with the time they
start laying than anything else,
but the system of feeding has consid-
cradle to do with it also If pullets
are maturing too quickly they should
receive free range and be fed only
once day, about 3 or 4 o'clock in the
afternoon being the best time. The
food should be only dry grain. and
oats are about as good as anything
for the purpose. AS soon as the early
pullets freely receive nutritious foods
they start laying.
