A Bit of Translation,

The difficulty Of avoiding bad blum
ders when one is translating from
English into such language as that
of the Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia
must be very great, says a writer il
the London News. We hear from the
Bible society of curious case. In the
first edition Of St Matthew In Micmac
the translator found when he came to
revise it that in chapter xiv. Z, in
stead Of "Nation shall rise against ma
ton he had written, "a pair of snow
shoes shall rise up against pair of

SOME INTERESTING
NEWS FROM DENT
1000 Acres Beans Planted
on Cream Ridge

Dent, May 21.-In the Cream
Ridge section alone this year more
than 1000 acres will be planted to
beans. Each year the bean area in
north Idaho seems to widen rapidly,
and sections which few years ago
were considered too cold and having
a too high altitude for the maturing
of beans, are now fully initiated in
to the bean growers brotherhood.
Mrs. S. A. Sutton, of Teakean,
has demonstrated that beans can be
grown in the Teakean- Cavendish
district with success. This enter
prising lady has made possible that
which men had long considered was
impossible, and she has the beans to
show as proof positive of her claims.
With the price of beans about seven
cents the pound at this time, many
farmers are planting large acreages
this season, the view being held
that the European war will cause
the price to continue high the COM
ing season.
What was only poor mountain
trail that was truly hazardous to
ride horse over a few years ago
between julius Steiner's farm and
Ahsahka, at the mouth of the North
Fork of the Clearwater river, has
now given place to one IF the best
river highways in north Idaho.
The Dent country seems on the
eve of substantial development.
The Weyerhauser people have been
making purchases at Big Island and
other places along the North Fork
a Mr.. Carr will install a, store at
the William Durass place at the
mouth of Elk creek; school houses
have been erected; homes are being
hewn out of the forest, and what
a few years ago was but little less
than wilderness is now thriving
and prosperous community.

To Inoculate Seed

Coating the seed of legumes with
inoculated soil before planting is a
simple method of insuring soil ino-
culation at slight cost. County
agents in Illinois have found ordi-
nary furniture glue effective in
holding particles of inoculated
soil to the seeds. This method gives
each individual seed some of the
particles Of inoculated soil which
it carries with it when it is planted.
The scheme requires but small
amount of inoculated soil and costs
but a few cents an acre. The
method is described in Farmers
Bulletin 704 of the department.
Dissolve two handfuls of furni-
ture glue for every gallon of boil
ing water and allow the solution to
cool. Put the seed in a washtub
and then sprinkle enough of the
solution on the seed to moisten but
not to wet it Il quart per bushel
is sufficiently and stir the mixture
thoroughly until all the seed are
moistened.
Secure the inoculated soil from a
place where the same kind of plants
as the seed are growing, making
sure that the roots have a vigorous
development Of nodules. Dry the
soil in the shade, preferably in the
barn or basement, and pulverize it
thoroughly into a dust. Scatter
this dust over the moistened seed.
using from one-half to l gallon of
dirt for each bushel of seed, mixing
thoroughly until the seed no longer
stick together. The seed are then
ready to sow.
