GOOD WORK OF INCUBATION
by Several Experiment Stations

Farmers sometimes question the adj
visibility of inOculating legumes. That
iegumeS are benefited by incubation
has been shown by several experiment
stations. The Wisconsin, Illinois and
other stations have shown that inocula-
ton gives decidedly beneficial results.
In the first place, incubation in

giving greater yields of hay. In most
test cases the hay crop has been in
creased about 20 per cent and in some
Instances it has been doubled. Not
only Is more hay produced. but the hay
is richer in protein and consequently
of higher feeding value. according to
w. A. Albrecht of the University of
Missouri college of agriculture. Cow
pea hay from plants, inOculated at the
Illinois station, contained &c per cent

Wars Greatest Sufferers.

1t is they who bear the main burden
of the suffering In this war. In our
streets and open spaces and all along
the roads, in our churches, in our
towns and villages, in every house, we
come into contact with mothers who
have lost their sons or are living In an
anguish more cruel than the certainty
of death. writes Maurice Maeterlinck
In the London Daily Mail.
Let us try to understand their loss.
They know what it means, but they do
not tell the men. Their son Is taken
from them at the fairest moment of
his life, when their own is in its de-
cline. When child dies in infancy,
1t is as though mis- soul had hardly
gone, as though it were lingering near,
the mother who brought II into the
world, awaiting the time when 1t may
return in a new form. The death which,
visits the cradle Is not the same which
now spreads terror over the earth, but
a son who dies at twenty does not
come back again and leaves not a
CLEAN of hope behind him.

MINERS PRAISE BOY SCOUTS.

Following an address by II. w.
Wester, the new executive at Birming-
ham, Ala, of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, the United Mine Workers of Ala
bama passed the following resolution:
BE it resolved, That the convention
of United Mine Workers union dele
gates do hereby heartily indorse the
scheme of the Boy Scouts of America
as laid down by the national headquar-
tiers of the organization, and urge that
our members encourage their boys to
join this movement, which has for its
purpose the making of men and for it's
creed the upbuilding of good citizen
ship, good-fellOwship and pure democ-
racy."
All of the hundreds of thousands in
terested In the Boy Scouts will be glad
to know that the Mine Workers have
come to realize that there is and can
be no antagOnism between the; ideals
Of organized labor and those of the
Scout movement.
This change of attitude is revealed
ina letter which was sent to the Off
Gers and members of the organization
from the headquarters in Indianapolis.

Rye seeded as cover crop in corn

hogged down with satisfactory results.
At the last cultivation Of corn. rye
can be seeded at the rate of six to
eight pecks per acre. 1t will furnish
nutritious pasturage by fall in favor
able seasons. In the spring the crop
may be used for pasture or blowing
under, or hogs may be turned into the
field after the grain Is ripe.
Six pigs averaging a pounds In
weight were fed On quarter of an
acre of rye for 40 days at the Ohio
experiment station. During this time
they made an average daily gain of
half pound. While hogging down the
rye the pigs were fed fifth of a
pound of tankage apiece daily.
Rye as a general rule cannot com

SCOUTS LEARN LIES FIGHT

'SAy pditHl WHO mas Dcen con-
aemned by his offspring TO read out
long disquiSitiOns from "The Swiss
Family Robinson" on the simple and
satisfactory pastime of being cast away
Is entitled TO grim appreciation of
the tale of the lost souls of ClipertOn
island. These poor Mexicans did not
find life on lonely strand as gay and
comfortable as did those marvellous
Swiss, says an editorial in the New
York Tribune.
Set face to face with nature, unas-
sisted by any tools of civilization, they
failed to make living, quite as you
and l would probably fail. Most Of
them died of scurvy or starvation.
Given paradise, precious few mod
ems could do more than skimp along.
We are highly educated by comparison
with less learned centuries, but not
educated at all in the raw business of
squeezing life out of a reluctant Moth
er Nature. The farmers boy would
do better than some on desert is
land. The plainsman would do best
of all. Most of us would die of Starva-
ton before we could remember how to
make fire with sticks or invent a
fishline or plant a last peck of pOta-
toes so they would grow.
The Boy Scouts are putting some
rudimentary sense back into coming
generations. Perhaps, also, universal
military training may help. All mod.
ern education is based on the notion
that actual contact with the hard facts
of life has been neglected and is both
interesting and useful. A little prac-
teal training in how to wrestle with
the world with bare hands would be
equally good for both hands and souls.
