 As there was no place for Freed ing to stay If he wandered off his course the people of Taylor think that he has surely perished thoug they will entertain a hope until his dead body is found.
 Mrs. Breeding Is now at Taylor in q state of collapse. She is very ner vous and Is almost heart broken. The unfortunate part of 1t is that no. woman is there to comfort her and no doctor to render aid.

 Yesterday MT. Hastings of Taylor went up to the springs to get MT. and Mrs. Breeding and their child according to an agreement previously made and he then learned that Breeding had left there a week before. He took Mrs. Breeding and the child back to the store and gave the alarm.

ARRANGING NESTS FOR HENS
Fowls Do Their Best When Confined
In Slightly Darkened Places
Keep the Little Chicks Warm.

Sitting hens do best when confined
to slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. In the latter case the chick
ems may be removed as soon as dry,
in a basket lined with flannel or
some other warm material, and kept
near a fire until all the eggs are
Matched. In place of this, the eggs
may be removed and placed under a
suieter hen whose eggs are Matching
at the same time.
An incubator may also be used to
keep the earliest Matched chickens
warm, in case they are removed from
the nest If the eggs hatch unevenly.
those which are slow in Matching may
be placed under other hens, as hens
often get restless after part Of the
chickens are out, allowing the re-
naming eggs to become cooled at the
very time when steady heat is neces-
sary. 1t Is necessary to remove the
egg shells and any eggs which have
not Matched as soon as the Matching
Is over. Hens are fed as soon as pos
sible after the eggs are Matched, as
feeding tends to keep them quiet;
otherwise hens will leave the nest.

system of farming which provides
means for the collection of this valu-
able and costly element from the air
and a medium through which 1t can be
stored up for the use OF succeeding
crops is Of the highest Importance and
utility to farmers. Experiments con-
Quoted at the Alabama station shows
that crop of pea vines grown on an
acre of sandy soil Of moderate fertil-
ity contained 115 pounds Of nitrogen;
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 Louis
lana station showed that crop OF pea
nuts contained 1872 pounds Of nitrogen;
an acre of velvet beans, 191 pounds,
and an acre Of cowpeas, 108 pounds.
When calculated according to the scale
of fertilizer valuation, the value OF nj
trogen exceeded the cost OF a ton OF
ordinary complete fertilizer. The nj.
trogen was equivalent in amount to
that contained in from 1,750 pounds to
more than one ton of cottonseed meal.
, The question is often asked IL 1t is
necessary to pillow under the legu-
minous crops in order to increase the
nitrogen in the soil. OF course, the
per cent of fertilizer value of the
fallen leaves, stems and roots Of the
leguminous crops left in the field at
harvesting time vary. However, the
fallen leaves, stems and roots usually
contain from one-fifth to one-third OF
the manurial value of the entire plants
of the leguminous crops. This being
true, we are in position to assert
positively that the nitrogen in the soil
will be increased by the growing Of
leguminous crops, even though the
crop Is grazed off or cut for hay.

NV O. II ALFoRDA

(By G.. H. ALFORD.)
Leguminous crops have very I'M
portant place in every safe and sane
system Of farming. These crops pos
sess a characteristic which makes
them Of the highest value to farmers.
This is the power to utilize the free
nitrogen Of the solid air. When we ex-
anime the roots of luxuriantly grow
ing plants, we find numerous nodules
or tubercles on them. These tuber-
cles are caused by certain organisms
or bacteria in the soil. 1t now seems
that there Is a special form Of bac-
terra for each legume grown, though
some forms of bacteria in time learn
to live on two or more legumes.
It is a matter of great importance
to furnish the soil lacking the neces-
sary organisms with good supply
Of the right kind. There are several
methods Of putting the necessary bac-
terra in the SOIL A good way of In
oculating the soil is to soak the seed
at planting time in water in which
the soil from a field where the legume
has been successfully grown for
number of years has been stirred. An
other excellent way of inoculating the
soil is to drill In with the seed soil in
which that particular legume has been
grown for number of years. Care
should be taken to keep the soil out
of the sunshine from the time 1t is
taken from the field until it Is worked
into the soil of the next, as the rays
of the sun kill the bacteria. 1t is best
to get the soil and apply it on a
cloudy day, or late In the afternoon.
Nitrogen is the costliest element OF
plant food and is becoming scarcer
and dearer SO far as its commercial
forms are concerned. This being true,

an ordinance forbidding any freight

she was sidetracked and a shifter

say that they got away with it?"
They certainly did," smiled Mr..
Gaillard. "The scheme worked until
the deacons repealed the law, and in

that she could bawl the name OF the
