(HE CORMLIS GAZE1TE TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS, 1JS0CULATING CLOVER AND AL FALFA GROUNDS. Among other important con ditions in successful culture .of ; alfalfa, Hoards Dairyman says: "Every species of the legume family of plants, such as peas, beans, vetch, alfalfa,, and all of the clovers appear to have separ ate species of bacteria upon which they depend very greatly for their supply of nitrogen. If the plants do Tiot thrive, it is taken as evidence that the de sired bacteria should be sup plied in some other way. This is done by wetting the seed in a solution of bacteria water and drying before sowing, or by spreading on the land from 100 ; to 600 pounds of inoculated soil gathered from the field where alfalfa is growing successfully. On this subject the Illinois Ex periment Station says: "We have conclusive evidence that in fected sweet clover soil can be used for the inoculation of alfalfa fields. The infected soil may be ob tained from any place where sweet clover is found with an abundance of tubercles on its roots. The soil may be collected to the depth of three or four! inches and scattered over the alfalfa field at the rate of 100 ; pounds or more to the acre. It is' well to scatter the infected soD at about the time the alfalfa is seeded, and harrow it in with ; the alfalfa seed, although it may j be applied some days, or even some weeks before the seeding ! time, and probably it would be ' "all right to apply the infected j soil the autumn before; for it is j known that the bacteria will live in the soil for several months, even though the soil be placed in j saeks and allowed to become quite ory. investigations nave snown ; 1 T I - 1 -1 I that 100 pounds of thoroughly in-jtion and many are disappointed fected soil to the acre is sufficient J that he has refused to be a can to produce a very satisfactory 1 didate for re-election. In ac inoculation within one year from j cordance with his duty in the the time it is aoplied." Joseph j matter, however, he calltd for a E. Wing, an eminent authority caucus last Friday night, and the on clovar and alfalfa culture in the. Breeders' Gazette says, "Dr. 'sity of Illinois says that bacteria inhabiting sweet clover also in habits alfalfa and makes it ! thrive. There is no better author ity than Dr. Hopkins. Use soil from the sweet cfover field and with it nlentv of stable manure and if your soil is not sour you will get the alfalfa all right." Montague Hamm in the Breed- , ,. , ers Gazette continues the sub-jA ject and says: I used for inoc - wlation the Dep't of Agriculture's culture, old soil and alfalfa meal The meal gives the best results. The tubercles are like clusters of grapes, only small. Inoculated soil gave the next best results, and the culture gave a few tubercules. From what I have seen and learned of this great legume I am convinced that it can be grown on nearly every well-drained farm by using inoc ulated soil and patience. I have had the best results from seed- TiT ,7 t f- growth that cannot bo clipped i u not later than September 15. That will make growth enough before the ground freezes for winter protection.- I used lime in part of my plots. The best results are from lime, boneineal, muriate of potash and alfalfa i meal inoculated." Tl 1 1 x-aixies wnose iana does no raise alfalfa r.nd clover will do "well to prepare their ground and see that the same is thoroughly I inoculated according to themeth-1 ods given by these eminent and ! reliable authorities. It must be fully considered, however, that! alfalfa and clover do not thrive on land not won drained. If the water should stand in the sub soil at too high a depth it will probably be necessary to tile the -land thus making the land fer tile to a depth of three or four feet.

President Roosevelt and party made a flying trip across the country to visit the St. Louis Ex position. He made numerous speeches delivering them from the rear platform of the cars dur ing the trip. The president was greeted everywhere with large and enthusiastic crowds. It is said that 1000 secret service men will guard the President's safety while in St. Louis. Several leading Democrats from as many different states met in consultation since the severe frosts of last Presidential election and they unanimously decided that they desired to re turn as followers of Bryan and his peculiar doctrines.
