The use of clover or some other
legume to enrich the soil is generally
considered a cardinal agricultural
practice In the humid sections of the
United States. 1t antedates by three
quarters of century the monumental
discovery that legumes store up nj
trogen from the air The belief that
clover was a valuable improver rested
first on experience, and Later expert

legumes and the nodule bacteria.

which are desirable qualities for table
fowl in this country. In size they are
intermediate between the smaller egg
breeds, such as the Leghorns. and the
larger meat breeds, such as the Brah-
mas. In temperament they are also
intermediate, being less active than
the egg breeds, but more so than the
meat breeds. They are fairly good
foragers. The ,American-class birds
mature earlier than the meat breeds,
but not so quickly as the egg breeds.
They are settlers and make good
mothers.

RAIL UNIONS DISAGREE.
Trainmen Will Issue a Separate Form

Cleveland.-After two days of con.
ference in an effort to prepare a joint
strike ballot to the 100000 members
of the five big railroad transportation
labor organizations, the chief execn-
tives, executive committee members
and assistant grand officers OF the en-
gineers, firemen, trainmen, conductors
and switchmen were unable to agree
on the wording OF the ballot and the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen de
cided to prepare a separate ballot, the
other four organizations agreeing on
one ballot.

LIGHT SOIL FOR .FARMSTEAD
Ground Occupied by Farm Buildings
May Be Poorest klnd-Sandy
Soils Are Excellent.

The garden, lawn, orchard and
wind-break. constituting a consider
able portion of the farmstead, require
good and preferably Hight soil, while
the ground occupied by the farm
buildings may be the poorest land on
the farm. Not infrequently the two
kinds of soil may be found within the
farmstead area. but IL is better TO sac
riflce a little crop-producing land for
the buildings than to handicap the
garden or orchard with poor soil
Sandy or gravelly soils are excellent
for general farmstead purposes. as
they are favorable for plant growth

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drugEistH
who are constantly IN direct touch with
the public, there Is one preparation that
has been very successful IN overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-R0ot r.
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies IN
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance ara re
jeeted IS because kidney trouble is 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose appliea-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.

When to Sow Cover Crop.
The time of planting and the best
crop to use is matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the
north Atlantic coast 1T is considered
best to get these crops Ia from the
first to the middle of August, while
In the extreme South the planting may
be deferred to early October. In the
extreme North hairy vetch Is favored
as Iegume. cover or green manure
crop. but rye is also largely planted.
From middle Pennsylvania to the
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results. In the extreme
South bur clover. vetch and crimson
clover are used. as well as velvet beans
and cow peas.
Wherever clean cultivation is prac
ticed the soil is likely to be I'm shape

lent, II can be narrowed in. In Or
chards a light narrowing or diskfng
may be employed IL the ground Is free

taken not to iHjure the roots. The
crop is usually plowed under I'm the
spring. but this is not always done
with orchards. Data collected In all
parts of the United States shows a
general benefit from this form OF ag-
riculture.
