FAI Nature1s Gi Leguminous Crops for Soil [m provement. One of the urgent needs of nearly all farm lands Is bumus and Its resultant element, nitrogen. Without It, no soil can be very productive, although u may be veil supplied with the necessary mineral elements tbat all plants need. Under I be system of cotton culture pursued in the South, the land bas lost a large part of Its humus, and so its nitrogen. In many fields the soil hU6 become hard and does not respond readily to cultivation. In many cases the yield of crops Is scarcely enough to pay lor the cultivation. Tills is true particularly of Jtbe older, settled parts of the country, but mi sections have some land of tbls kind. In traveling on a railway train, if one will observe tbe fields tbat whirl past the car windows, it will be evident that mot>t ot them have become somewhat depleted of tbelr vegetable matter. Sou washing, too, has aided In tbe process of depletion, and the bare, washed bills are painfully numerous. The problem tbat conlronts tbose who dwell In these older sections, is to restore, partly at least, the original fertility ol their farms, so mat iae goou crops luriuerijr induced may again be secured. Tbere are many things tbat beip to this end, but It will be possible to discuss only one bere?the planting of leguminous crops. Under tbls bead are Included all klnda of beans and peas, clovers, legumlns, and some otber plants. Even some of tbelorest trees are legumes, and many wild plants, such as the crimson beggar lice, are of tbls lamlly. Tbey are characterized by tbe fact tbat tbey are all pod-bearing, and tbe roots are covered wltb final] nodules supporting a bacterial life tbat enables tbem to extract tbe free nitrogen from tbe atmosphere, and store it In tbe roots of tbe growing plants, wbere it remains, and becomes available for tbe crops tbat are planted tbere tbe succeeding year. Tbls, then, Is tbe secret of tbe fertilizing value of tbe legumes. It Is tbe verdict of science, based on observation and experiment. We cannot doubt tbe great value of tbls class of plants as nitrogen gatherers. It is indeed true tbat vegetable growth of any klod, even weeds, adds something to tbe soil by its decay, but it seems to be on ly tbe ltgumes tbat gives tbe nltrogen-gatbjrlng power. And herein lies their great value as soli renewers Tbls fact being recognized, then tbe question arises as to wblcb particular one tbe southern farmer shall use tor tbe restoral of bis soli. While tbere are many tratare unquestionably good, perhaps cow peas are best lor teneral planting on most forms. Tuey are well known everywhere, and will grow on an> soil, even the red olay. Tbey will come up and grow wbere many other plants would die of sheer discouragement. Belug perfectly adapted to this soil and climate, it is doubtful If another crop can be found equal to tbem for general planting. Tbe soli everywhere seems to be supplied with tbe neeecsary bacteria, so tbat no inoculation Is uecesaary. Tbey may be planted lo tjae corn, and in tbe stubble alter grain; or tbey may be planted, as we would cottou, in the spring or early summer in soli specially prepared for tbem. In ?ny of these ways tbey will prove of great vslue. Besides producing a valuable crop of peas or bay, for wblcb tbey are very floe, the soil will be left with a very material Increase In its nitrogen content,even when tbe vines have been taken off lor bay. As a rule, it will be best to mow tbe vines lor bay, although it Is undoubtedly true tbat acrop 01 vines plowed under in tbe fall will add greatly to tbe crop planted tbe succeeding jear. Borne of tbe nitrogen will probably be lost before spring arrives, but not ail. Tbere will be a large part left to feed tbe spring planted crop. while cow peas rank first as soil improvers, tbere are otber kinds of leguunnoin crops tbat are very useful. Wild clover (lespedeza) is one of tbese. It is also calieu Japan clover, having been introduced, it Is said from tbat country, springing up lnoutoi tbe way places, and In pastures, It makef good grazing and arrests tbe soil in lis courst to Ibe streams All are familiar wltb tbU small leafed, low-giowlng clover tbat cling* close to mother eartb. It needs no planting as it grows on all farms, in abandoned piac^s in pastures, and wherever else it can find ? plaoe,doing much in its bumble way to regain tbe waste wrought by man. Un rlcfc land it will grow higu enough to make hay borne limes it is sown in tne grain fields ic winter or spring, where it comes up after th< grain Is cut, malting a good growth during the summer, which may be pastured ir de sired. Here then we find something that wll make a crop with even less worfc than con peas. It needs only to be sown on tbe surfac< ' aud the rain will cover tbe seed sufficiently to make tbem come up after the grain bar vest. It would be difficult to say too uiucl In praise of Japan clover, which comes un bidden and without planting. However, 1 we wish it to lake possession of a field very quickly, it will be best to sow the seed, whlcl iuay be purchased lrom ibe large seed nouses Alfalfa, or lucerne. Is said to be well adapt ed to the South, if tbe 60ll is made rlcl enough. But it requires a fertile soil to maki a satisfactory crop. Beyond the Mississippi it is a valuable crop for bay and grazing, fill lngan important place in the scheme 01 cro| rotation. When once established, it will las for years. Crimson clover does well, too, and wouli o tmnri nnoor fnr t.hft hnll rinrint? th winter months. Vetcb ana burr clover ar also valuable fur spring grazing, reseedln themselves without <11 ftlculty. Tuey furnls something leDder uoa ^reeu at a time whe the farm stock need something of tbls kin alter tbe winter 1h over. Hoy beans are not much planted as yt throughout the South, but are well worth trial by those who are looking for a good ha and grain plant. They may be as good * cow peas for these purposes, or even better 1 certain respects. The point 1b, for all those engaged In farn log to recognjze tbe value of the legume and then plant them extensively nud syst matlcally. Each Individual will have 1 work out the details of planting and cultlvt tlon, but by all meanB plant them wherev< possible, stleoting whatever suits best.

It may be that some chemical process t will be discovered In the near future, of converting tbe atmospheric nitrogen, which Is so abundant, into cneap cuemn-ui uuuj^uuuuo 1 available as plant food. Efforts are being made In this direction, but they cannot be said to bave been successful as yet. Atpre6- j ent, we should use tbe leguminous plants to accomplish this result, for tbey seem to bave , been given us by a felnd providence for this , end. If any one doubts the power of such plants to enrich the soli where they grow, ! . they may have their doubts removed by ob- ' , serving a clover or vetch field. Suoh a field , is always very rich, and these plants when put lu a place where they have never been be- l rore soon build up the soil there. This Is very convincing proof of their value as soil renewers. In walking about the fields, If you . will look at tbe places where wild clover Is 1 growing, tbe same fact will be noted. And 1 so with peas, and all the other members of < this family. If any one interested will pull i up a bunch ot clover or a peavlne, tbey will I jfind the roots covered more or less thickly i J with nodules of varying sizes. Those grow- i lng on the root systems of wild clover are very small. On tbe coarser plants they are < larger. This is the laboratory In which the ( process of storing tbe atmospheric nitrogen i is going on. it is believed. In some lnexpll- j cable way, nature accomplishes a result that I Is of such practical Importance to agrloul- f ture. Thos. Tolbert. e ?i | DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN Mr*.

BOB ciTn/rn/rnxTei OlJlLJUUllOi V Second Edition of Canterbury Tales Meesrs. John Cheatham, Bob Simmons, and Chapman, while discussing politics, plutocrats, and things in Wilkinsons store the other evening, sidetracked to a subject that led to some 3tartling statements. The subject was "Dogs and Cats." You have doubtless heard of the hunter that had that wonderful dog that would do anything it was bidden to do. While this hunter ^was in the 3eld with a friend expatiating on the wonderful eense and good qualities of lis dog, the friend vouchsafed some ioubt concerning the abilities of the log. Whereat the hunter said, "Why [ can send this dog to the honse for ire and he will go and bring it!" The riend laughed long and loud. "Go" laid the huoter to his clog, "uo, ana jring me some fire." The dog immediately left in the direction of the house. The hunter and lis friend waited the event of the log's return, but the dog made a proonged slay and the friend grinned at he hunter. "Wait a while longer" iaid the hunter, "He will return with he fire, 1 never knew him to fail." They waited and the friend continusd to grin and gibe. The hunter finaly proposed to go and see what wai he matter with the dog, and on apiroaching the house they found that he dog returning with the fire had let a straw field on fire and was trying o extinguish it with a pine top. Bob Simmon's dog is fully up to the ibove standard. It brings anything t is told to bring. When anyone joes out for stove wood the dog goes 1190 ailU.0riIlgB IU US rnuuu as u uau :arry inlts teeth. When some of the lome folks are gathering vegetables in be garden the dog shows his appreciation and interest by holding the basset while it is filled with peas, beans, lotatues, etc. Someone seemed to loubt that Bob,s dog would do all this jut Bob promptly thrust his hand in0 his breeches pocket aud fetched up 1 long green paper with eagles and itate tiouses and figures and things ou t and wanted it covered, but none of :hose present seemed to have a piece to St it. Bob invited those that had any doubts about it to come to bis house md he would prove what he said. John Cheatham tells about a dog of bis that is no slouoh when it comes to sense. Not long since the family was quietly seated at home when one 01 the youngsters remarked that he would like to have a rabbit. The dog heard, pricked up bis ears, trotted out across the field, took several other dog9 with him aud in a short time returned with a rabbit in his mouth which he quietly dropped at the feet of the lad who had expressed a desire for a bunny. This dog was not in a habit of doing such things but heard and understood and immediately executed the wish. Mr. Cheatham also told of a cat that lived at his house. The cat was the mother of a family of kittens. Mrs. Abies, a neighbor, one day was in the Cheatham home and while there she expressed a wish for the cat and kittens. The old cat heard her and as soon as Mrs. Abies returned she found that the old cat was moving her family to her house. Some of Mr. Cheat bams children moved mem uhuk.. The old cat moved them to Mrs. Abies a secoud time. The children moved them back home again and the old cat moved them to Mrs. Abies a third time. Again Mr. Cheatham.s children moved them home and tbis time the old cat being disgusted and disheartened quit tor good and left the country. Old'Baron Munchausen and Gulliver and all the other old story grubbers and prevaricators might just as well throw up the spo0%e. Neither Mr. Simmons or Mr. Cheatham half tried, it was all on the spur of the moment. What could they not do if they had time to study it out like Muuchausen and Gulliver. Seaboard Schedule.
