Omaha. Neb. The Roots of Legumes. Recently in walking through a field In Illinois with Professor Hopkins, that gentleman remarked that the roots of leguminpus plants differed very greatly as to their value when turned under, o# account principally of the differences In their volumes. This is contrary to popular impres­ sion. The, idea has been that all leguminous plants had large roots that supplied a considerable amount of matter to the soil when turned under. The professor had in mind the con­ trast between the cow pea and red clover. The roots of the red clover contain three times as n|uch manurlal value as do the roots of cow peas. Last winter we published a number of articles on the value of the cow horn turnip for fertilizing the soil, at teast so far as the adding to the soil of vegetable matter is concerned* COw horn turnips do not belong to the legumes, but It will be easily under­ stood why some of our farmers think so well of them for plowing under When we say that over forty per cent of the manurial value in the cow horn turnip is in the roots; With most other plants it is far dif­ ferent, the great bulk of the fertility being in the tops. With alfalfa even, .deep rooter as it is, we find the value of^fertility in the roots to be only 40 per cent of the whole, or thereabouts. Of course proportion will differ as the crops differ in volume and the kinds of fertility in the soil. In a rough way we may say that about 30 per cent of the manurial value in the red clover plant is-found in the roots. It it interesting to note the great dif­ ference in value between red clover and crimson clover, as to the roots. The latter named plant has only about five per cent Of its manurial value in the roots. Not knowing this, doubt­ less a good many men have raised crops, of crimson clover and plowed under the roots with the impression that they were increasing the manu­ rial value of their land. In the case of crimson clover the whole crop will have to be plowted under if much good is to come from it. In the tops are generally found the greater portion of the potaBh and ni­ trogen. There is an exception in the case of red clover in which the great­ er portion of the nitrogen is usually found in the roots. It must be under­ stood that the proportions of the fer­ tilizers found in tops and roots are subject to very, great fluctuation^, running in some cases as high as 40 per cent. In the main the relative value ot roots for turning under are over-esti­ mated. The popular impression has been built up in some measure by the occurrence on the roots of the nodules that are known to contain nitrogen. The tubercles are howeveAso small a proportion of the whole plant that this is of little consequence. But in the consideration of the value of the nitrogen in the root tuber­ cles another factor enters in, and that is the greater availability of the ni­ trogen in the tubercle.--Farmers Re­ view. Plowing Up Grasshopper Eggs. The eggs of grasshoppers are laid along in the latter part of summer, in clusters about an inch below the sur­ face of the ground. Each cluster or mass is surrounded with a frothy ma­ terial, which seems to act as a pro­ tection from excessive moisture. Plowing the ground where eggs are laid breaks up these masses and de­ stroys the protection; in some cases it turns the masses down so deep in the sOil that the young hoppers, even though they hatch, cannot force their way upward to the surface. Almost no grasshoppers will hatch in ground that has been plowed. Hence it is de­ sirable to watch closely the egg lay­ ing habits, and see if the eggs are not laid in places where plowing can be done. With the Rocky Mountain lo­ cust, this has several times served to destroy a whole swarm. With our principal species there are certain pre­ ferred kinds of soil for egg-deposition. At Market Lake they selected gener­ ally the edges of slight depressions in the plains. These depressions or hol­ lows were low enqugh so that they produced a kind of lalt-grass, and not a sage-brush. The absence of sage made them more conspicuous than the difference of level. About the edges of these places the newly hatched young were very numerous. Plow­ ing jcould have been applied here with good results. The land in Big Camas Prairie lies differently, and does not offer many of^these spots. Here the hoppers showed a marked preference for sandy or gravelly places along the edges of creeks. I did not have an opportunity to judge whether plowing could be done in these places. Ground under cultivation is rarely or never used for egg-laying by grasshoppers. All the species seem to prefer a hard­ er texture of earth and some will even choose the wheeltracks of roads.--^J. M. Aldrich, Idaho Station. ---- Slack Methods Costly. One creamery I visited was clean and neat, yet, through the buttermak- er's antipathy to the use of commer­ cial starters and an alkali test, he allowed the quality of his butter to be dominated by the character of the feeds used to such an extent as to lose about >500 in a. very short time. The buttermaker was also careless about the granular butter being washed out of the churn onto the floor and down the drain which he made the manage­ ment believe was unavoidable.--Prof. J. G. Moore. Corn intended for seed should not be stored, on a shelf or on a floor, as in such a position the circulation of air is imperfect and the kernels on the under side Of the ears often mold. The corn should be placed on a rack. Seed corn when stored may appear perfectly dry, but as soon as the mois­ ture begins to work out of the corn moisture will appear on the surface unless the circulation of air is con­ stant enough to dissipate It. No Sleep--No Appetite--Juit a Con- tinual Backache. Joseph McCauley, of 144 S hoi to St., Chicago, Sachem of Tecumseh Lodge, says: "Two years ago my health was completely broken down.

The average consumer of baking pow> der does not know that a reaction occurs in the process of baking. Whenever chemical reaction takes place, the nature of the original materials Is entire! changed. so that th*- substances whic remain in the food M be eaten are very different from those which composed the baking powder before baking. For this reason, the statement that a baking powder contains alum or cream of tartar is- worthless so far as informing the consumer as to what he eats. What the consumer wants to know is what goes into his stomach, not what is In the can Food prepared with a cream of tartar baking powder does not contain any cream of tartar, just as food prepared with alum baking powder is free from alum. In tne case of the high-priced trust baking powders this bread residue consists of Rochelle Salts, the active ingredient of Seldlltz Powders. That is when food prepared with these trust baking powders is eaten, the consumer is taking a dose of Seidlltz Powders. Rochelle Salts is a medicine and not food, and this constant dosing will se­ riously derange the digestive organs. Prol'. Wiley, chemist of the United States Department 8f Agriculture, has declared in substance that "A loaf of bread made from a quart of flour leavened with cream of tartar baking powder contains 45 grains more of Rochelle Salts than Is contained in one Seidlitz Powder." At a hearing before the Committee on Pub­ lic Health of the Massachusetts Legisla­ ture. cn a bill designed to prevent this wholesale dosing of the public, the fol­ lowing eminent Boston pnysiciafis testi­ fied against the healthfullness of Roch elle Salts, and strongly recommended the passage of a law which would prohibit the sale of powders which left this dan­ gerous drug in foovj; Dr. Hartung, Dr. C. O. Kepler, Dr. F. B. Foster, Dr. JG. M Palmer. Why should the consumer pay forty- five or fifty cents per pound for baking powder when the best baking powder in the world can be made to retail at twenty-five cents per pound (the price asked for Calumet Baking Powder) and leave a fair manufacturer's profit? The manufacturers of Calumet Baking Pow­ der have for years made a standing of fer of $1,000.00 for any substance Inju­ rious to health found in- fpod prepared from it. Bread made from Calumet is en­ tirely free from Rochelle -Salts, alum, lime or ammonia. Mayor's Position Defined. Some of the Virginia papers seem to think it funny that Richmond's new mayor, Mr. McCarthy, has publicly de­ fined his position on the clothes line question: "The mayor ought at all times to wetr clean, decent, respect­ able clothes," he says. "He should keep his hair trimmed, his shoes shined, his linen clean and his clothes generally should be of proper appear­ ance. Like an army officer, he should ever be ready to meet and greet those who come and to make a proper show­ ing. I expect to keep this matter in mind." Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 ox in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money.

Preservation of Eggs. 1^ the use of w» terglass we Lave a process of keeping eggs that is far superior to every other known process. Experiments have been made with it in the United States and in foreign' countries. It has several other ad­ vantages, among which are its cheap­ ness and the fact that it is not a pat­ ented article. We niay expect to flhd on the market various kinds of egg preservers, but many of them, if analyzed, would be found to have waterglass as a base. This material is not a new thing, as it is simply sodium silicate. It is one of our cheap chemical products and can usu­ ally be procured for about 60 cents a gallon. This amount of liquid should preserve about fifty dozen of eggs, the cost thus being about one cent per dozen. • In the packing of eggs great care must be used to know-that they are strictly fresh. Sometimes eggs are purchased at the stores and pre­ served, and when they come out bad the preservative is blamed. The fact is that it is very easy to get In eggs that are not strictly fresh, but are just enough off to have a bad taste when taken from pickle some months afterward. It is probable, too, that a few bad eggs will injure ojthers in the same solution. In purchasing the waterglass be sure to get a good quality. Some of the waterglass on the market con­ tains a good deal of alkali in an un- combined state and this gives the eggs a bad flavor. The preferable form is that like thick white jelly, yet not so thick that it will not flow readily. The thinner kind may be employed, but more of it will have to be used. The waterglass can be purchased in the form of a dry pow­ der, but it is found difficult to dissolve this in hot water. In preparing the solution use water that has been well boiled that it may be free from germs of life. To each ten quarts of water add one quart of waterglass if it is thin, but if it is thick use not more than three-fourths of a quart. This solution may be placed in jars or other receptacles and. the eggs added from time to time as convenient, but the eggs should not come nearer to the surface than two inches. The eggs should be kept in a cool, dark place and well covered to pre­ vent evaporation of the water in the solution. It has been found that in keeping the eggs in a warm place the silicate is deposited and the eggs are then not properly protected. The eggs should not be washed' before packing, as they do not then keep so well, probably on account of the mu­ cilaginous coat being removed. If eggs that are packed are to be boiled they should be punctured at the air clfamber by driving the point of a pin through them to let out the air, as otherwise they are liable to crack opei». i The Poultry Crop. The reports received this year from our numerous correspondents indicate a material increase in the supply of chickens, a fair increase in the supply of turkeys and ducks, and a falling off in the supply of geese. The weather conditions have been rather* more favorable than for the past two or three years. The season was rather cool, but on the whole quite season­ able, but in some sections of the Southwest, the far West and the North, the heavy rainfall caused a rather heavy loss in the early hatch­ ings, especially of turkeys, many of the young birds dying of wet and cold. The fertility of the early eggs also was somewhat affected by the very cold weather during the winter, leaving the stock not in as good con­ dition as when the winters were not so severe, but this was overcome later by more favorable conditions. From Iowa a number of reports stated that rats had killed off a good share of the early hatchings. Turkeys.--The crop of turkeys is es­ timated to be about 15 per cent heav­ ier than last year. Our reports in most instances claim large increases in the flocks of turkeys, but some points which raised a good many tur­ keys last year report a material shrinkage this year. On the. whole, however, we look for more turkeys to come to market during the winter.. The season is unusually late, and where In other seasons a good many turkeys have been shipped <u up to this time, so far this year but few turkeys have been received. Then too, farmers are being blessed with good crops, and in no need for imme­ diate money, can afford to allow their turkeys to run until fall. Chickens.--The reports generally indicate a very material increase in the crop of chickens, and it is fair to state that the crop at least is about 20 per cent larger than last,year. The Feather conditions were generally favorable. Farmers being in good condition financially, and receiving good prices for their eggs, have per­ haps not marketed their stock as early, nor as freely as usual, and in­ dications are that there is a large quantity to come forward. Ducks.--Everything points to a large crop of ducks--such - at least are the conclusions derived from the reports received. The indications are for. an Increase of about 10 per cent over last year. Late prices have been more en­ couraging to farmers to raise1 ducks. Geese.--The crop of geese Is esti­ mated to be about the same as last year, possibly 10 per cent less. Of late the raising of geese has fallen off considerably, with perhaps the larg­ est shrinkage in Illinois, where the enactment of a law prohibiting geese from running at large has made a very marked difference in the number of geese raised.--Sprague Commission Company. It is best to clean the poultry house every day. Then there will be no trouble with deleterious gases. One Case Where Lack of Jurisdiction Pleased Judge. Mr. John G. Carlisle tells of the case of a young man in Kentucky taken be­ fore a country magistrate on the charge of disturbing a religious meet­ ing. The magistrate in question «wa$ a kindly old gentleman, but ignorant of. many of the nicer Boints of law. It appears that when the evidence was all in the defendant* was question­ ed by the magistrate whether he (the accused) had "any reason to give why Judgment should not be pronounced" against him. The culprit had little to say beyond expressing his penitence and adding that he would never repeat the offense. The magistrate, however, was firm, and proceeded to the task of imposing sentence. Before doing so he inludged in a, long and moving ad­ dress. Among other things he said: "Young man, I knew your parents well. They were my personal friends; but, sir," and tears came into the eyes of th® old judge, "justice is blind, and I must therefore sentence you to two years' imprisonment." At this counsel for the defense arose and explained to the magistrate that, while not presuming to point out to his Honor his duty in the premises, yet it seemed essential to tell the judge, in accordance with well established legal customs, that sentence could not in the present, case be rendered, the Court having no jurisdiction. "No jurisdiction!" efchoed th® judge, in astonished tones. "No, sir," reiterated the counsel, "no jurisdiction." And he learnedly ex­ plained the meaning of the term. When he had concluded the magistrate wiped a fugitive tear from his'cheek and replied: "Well, I'm glad that I haven't. L right willingly discharge the defend­ ant!" "This is the only case," adds Mr. Carlisje, "with which I am familiar in which any.*judge from a justice court to the Supreme Court of the United States tdok , pleasure in announcing that he had no jurisdiction."
