Vegetation can use only plant food
of finely powdered aoll easily soluble
In water. The passage of air and beat
Into and through the soil, made pos-
sible by the removal of the standing
water, and the interchange of air
through the aoil between the bodies
of air in the tile and the air above the
aoil, disintegrates the soil particles
hitherto unavailable to planta, and pro-
duces that fine, crumbling, workable
condition of the soil known as fine
texture, in which is found the maxi-
mum amount of soluble plant food and
the most favorable conditions for plant
growth. The toughest clay soils are
in this way made friable, responding
with Increased crops. The increase
of heat and air provides favorable con-
ditions for the increase in the num
bers and activity of bacteria, the min-
ute plants whose function It is to set
free plant food and change-.the form
of the constituents of soil Into a food
for plants. Moreover, the constant
passage of surface water into soil car-

to set free plant food bound in various

to buy In an artificial fertilizer, and
yet most soils need more of it. For-
tunately it can be secured without
buying It. All the plants belonging
to the order commonly known as
legumes can get their nitrogen power
from the air (4-5 of the air Is nitro-
gen). by the aid of very small plants
or bacteria living on their roots Ro
this class of plants is independent of
the nitrogen in the soil. If there is
plenty of other plant food in the soil,
they will make a luxuriant growth
where nitrogen is deficient. This
nitrogen that the legumes draw from
the air Is stored In root, stem, leaf and
seed. If the crop is allowed to decay
on the land or Is fed to stock and the
manure returned, the nitrogen content
of the soil will be Increased and a bet-
ter crop of corn, wheat or grass can
be grown. So It Is evident from this
that there Is a practical way of sup-
plying the corn, cotton, tobacco and
hay with nitrogen without paying 20
cents per pound fo • it. And it should
be mentioned that nitrogen accumu-
lates in land in pasture or when shad-
ed by some crop, or by straw or
boards, eta Both of these natural
ways of securing nitrogen are very
important, but It should not be
thought that the latter will be suffl
clent without the former.
The legumes are the beans, peas,
clovers, alfalfa, vetches, peanuts, beg-
garllce. the locust tree and some oth
er plants not so well known. There
Is scarcely one among them but that
is valuable as a farm crop, so that
they can be grown at a profit Inde-
pendently of the nitrogen they gather
for the farm.

Young Minister'a Passion for Self Sac-
rifice Had Reitilta That Might
Have Been Anticipated.
The announcement of Miss Helen
Miller Gould's betrothal led one of tbe
charity workers of New York to say:
"Marriage itself will not be able to
quench Miss Gould's passion for giv-
ing. Apropos to this passion, she once
told me a story.
"There was a young minister, the
story ran, who. being poor and hav-
ing nothing else to give, used to give
away his clothes.
The young minister'a district con-
tained many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats, gloves, overcoats and trousers.
Yes, time and again he would give
away his clothes, foolishly and reck-
lesly, piece by piece, until—"
Here the charity worker smiled.
"Until," she ended, "he came to
himself!"

TOBACCO IN CROP ROTATION
Recommendation Made as Result of
Experiments Made at Virginia
Station—Grass Is Best.
The office of experiment stations.
Department of Agriculture, has re-
ceived a copy of a report from the
Virginia station of experiments made
in co-operation with the department
in connection with tobacco growing
As a result of the crop rotation
work the recommendation Is made for
the following seven year rotation: To-
bacco, wheat, grass, corn with crim-
son clover as a cover crop, cow-peas
and red clover. The rotation of crops
in the suncured tobacco district was
found necessary and profitable. In
connection with this rotation work it
was found that seeding grass alone In
August gave better results than seed
ing with small grain
It was also found that heavy ap-
plications of fertiliser were more
profitable'than light applications. The
use of 1,000 pounds of 3-8-3 fertiliser
per acre gave a profit of $40 29. while
1,300 pounds of a home-mixed fer-
tiliser gave a profit of $112.17

advent of some "new children" in the

tory. he returned to Mary—who
scorned his advances.
"You needn't come over here no
more, James," she told him. "I've

Stops Backache
Sloan's Liniment is a splendid remedy for backache, stiff
joints, rheumatism, neuralgia and sciatica. You don't need to
rub it in—just laid on lightly it gives comfort and ease at once.
Best for Pain and Stiffness
Ml Geo. Bcciiamam, of Welch, Ok la., writes:—"I have used your Lin-
iment for the past ten yeara for pain in back and stiffnesa and find it the best
Liniment I ever tried. I recommend it to anyone for pains of any kind."
SLOANS

is good for sprains, strains, bruises, cramp or soreness of tbe
muscles, and all affections of the throat and chest.
Cot Entire Relief
R. D. Burgoyne, of Maysville, Ky., RR. I, Box

relief at the fifth application."

I could not rest night or day. One of my

Three applications completely cured

Wedding Rings That Wear.
The next time you are married—or,
If you will, when you are married—
don't buy a gold wedding ring. It isn't
being done. Platinum wedding rings
are the newest thing. Mile. Jeanne
Provost, a French actress, is to blame.
She thought of the idea, and when she
was married to M. Firpo, she had one.
Platinum rings are more expensive
than gold and wear better. Just why
an actress, especially a French
actress, should want a wedding ring
that will last a long while the jewelers
haven't learned.
