Legumes Add Nitrooen.

At the Rhode Island station a FIVE
year pot experiment with different
legumes was conducted to ascertain
the amount of nitrogen secured from
the air during the growth of the
legumes in a light, gravelly soil,
without the addition of nitrogerous
manure, but with optimum amounts OF
other manures. It was found that
the approximate gain during i've
years with cowpeas and soy beans
and with vetch, which was grown al
ternately with each, was ton of nit
rogen per acre. about seventeenth of
which was contained in the 25 tons
of moisture-free summer crops re-
moved, and the remainder in the goil
ITSELF The following facts should be
taken into considerations: The soil in
the pots was 10 inches deep, soms-
what deeper than the surface soil In
many localities; the winter vetch way
grown in heated greenhouse.

way to get rid OF them is to starve
them out by using the land for a diff
ferent class of plants, such as the
various ucurbits-cucumbers pump
kins, squash. gourds and melons.
It is impossible to lay down any set
way in which to achieve the best re-
suits. We all have different ideas and
tastes and this department must be
satisfied with calling attention to
rather general principles, leaving all
details to be worked out by the in
dividual.
Ground which has been used for
the early crops can then be planted
to late corn or cucgmbers. By train
ing tomatoes and cucumbers on sup
ports, much smaller amount OF
ground will produce the crop. Many
combinations can be worked out to
ht your particular crops and the main
result to be achieved is to keep all
of your garden working all Of the
time.
Move the crops around from year
to year so as to give the soil chance
to recuperate Where number of
successive paintings are desirable, as
with peas, it is an excellent plan to
plant third Or fourth crop between
the rows Of the first crop as soon az
the peas have been picked.

been educating the school,
First he throws a few small bits of
meat into the water to let them know
it is feeding time; then he has them
jump out of the water to catch the
morsels, has them jump through a
hoop, stand upright on their tails,
flip to the reverse, nose downward,
and makes them shove a pushball in
the water.
He has a fairy boat, with strings
dangling, and at his command they
will take the strings in their teeth

Feeding time is as good as circus

FAREWELL,

The Right Treatment Dis
covered at Last-Read
About 1t.

From time irnmemorial, a man who had
nasal catarrh was given all sorts of doses,
sprays and local applications u every kind
for relief, when the remedy should have
gone to the seat Of the trouble. A REM
edy to be effective must act directly upon
the mucous membrane Of the entire sys-,
tenn When this treatment is combined
with local application the cure is assured.
DR.. Kings Royal Germetuer furnishes
both the local and the general treatment,
and Is all that can be desired in either
respect
Mr.. Robert e. Barrios, steamboat pilot,
New Orleans, writes us: "For six years I
have been sufferer from nasal catarrh.
There was constant accumulation and
discharge of offensive mucus. The sense
of smelling was nearly destroyed and
breathing frequently difficult. During
these years used many remedies and
spent mulch money, but received little or
no benefit until began to use DIR. Kings

Succession of Garden Crops.

Our springtime enthusiasm starts

plant some radishes and lettuce and
peas. Later on we ind time to plant
corn. cucumbers and tomatoes. The
class Of vegetables which may go into
the ground very early Is likewise har-
vested very early. There is a big gap
between this early harvest and the
time of green corn and red tomatoes,
yet we have to work just as hard dur
ing this hungry period as II we were
getting bounteous yield
Why not plan the varieties Of vege-
tables and their planting time so IS
to secure a continuous and ample sup
ply Of good, fresh green things? It's
just as easy as any other method of
garden management, and it's much
more satisfactory Instead Of having
only half of your garden working after
the early vegetables are gone, plan to
put In other crops on the same ground
so that the succession will be almost
unbroken.
The systematic rotation Of farm
crops is an absolute necessity, in or
der to secure maximum yields, and to
keep down pests. Various crops have
entirely different effects on the soil,
some taking more Of one element, 9TH

legumes, such as clover and alfalfa,

this makes them our most valuable

family.
Potatoes and root crops, GA the

Lawn Pests.

Prompt action and thorough, intelli
gent treatment is necessary to kill
lawn pests and rid your sod Of these
undesirable occupants.
The dandelion is the most notorious
of our lawn pests. The first few days
of warm growing weather will bring
| out it's glowing blossoms and no hard
winter seems to diminish its optimism
Or energy. There Will be more OF
them than last year. There always
are. The richer the soil and the finer
the place, the more dandelions there
will be.
Unlike other weeds, which can be
crowded out by heavily feeding the
grass, the dandelion responds to such
treatment even more nobly than does
the grass. It is directly comparable
to some of our public servants, whose
extraordinary abilities could be pro-
ductive of so much good if applied in
the proper direction.
True, the dandelion serves the pur-
pose of calling many householders out
Of doors into the healing spring sun
shine, who would otherwise stay in
doors. It's first blossoms bring real
joy to the small boy and salad to the
railroad section hand, but the man
with the lawn mower loves it not.
Away with 1t. We can Danish it II we
will.
The best method OF graduating dan.
delions from sod is to keep the grass
cut closely during the dandelion sea-
son, remove it and burn 1t, and spray
the lawn every ten days or oftener
with a solution % copperas, or sui
plate of iron, as 1t is more properly
called. This costs about three cents
a pound and can be secured from
druggists or seed stores. Dissolve
three-quarters Of pound In a gallon
of water and spray the dandesion
plants thoroughly. An ordinary sprin-
king can will get results, sut it is
much better to use sprayer that
throws a very fine mist-like spray.
Use it while the sun is shining on the
plants.
It will get practically all of the dam
delion leaves and blossoms. No dam
age will be done to the grass, aside
from blackening the tips.
Digging dandelions out is practical
" impossible, but this spraying
scheme is very effective.
Plantains and other weeds must be
pulled and burned before they BIOS
som.
Ants are best destroyed by pouring
a little carbon bisulphide in each hole
snd covering it with earth so that the
fumes cannot escape
The best way to kill moles is with
special mole traps.
Angle worms are beneficial to
lawn unless present in great numbers.
Carbon bisulphide will kill them, too.
Cut worms are destroyed by soaking
the infected area with solution Of
arsenate of lead, enc pound to a bar
rel of water. Their presence is indi-
Gated by patches of dead grass. The
little white worms will be founs
among the grass roots.
