Why Legume Inoculations sometimes Fails Under ordinary field conditions, the presence of the proper strain of legume bacteria in the soil is necesâ€" sory for the successiul growing of alfalfa or other legumes. It is thereâ€" fore always essential to inoculate when there is any reason to suspect a scarcity in the soil of the bacteria associated with the particular legume being grown. Thero are times, howâ€" ever, when inoculation fails to benefit a crop. Such failure may be assigned to a number of different causes which are enumerated in a now Experimental Farm pamphist which may be obtainâ€" ed from the Publications Branch, Deâ€" partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. In a large number of cases the x‘ea-‘l son for lack of benefit from lnocula-if tion is that the soil has already beenlj iInoculated, and the additional bacteria ‘. consequently are superfious.

INTRODUCTIONâ€"We begin with this lesson a series of studies in Vid Tesâ€" tament history, covering the period from Samuel to Is@aian, somewhat more than three hundred years. Samuel, who has a prominent part in our lesson story, was the last of the great judges of Israel, but unlike most of those who went before him, he was not a soldier, but a propret. BHe lived in the eieventh coutury before Christ, but the exact dates cannot be given. In the earlier years of his life lsrael was sorely oppressed by the Philistines, but under the inspiration of his leadership and the religious faith which he taught to the people they were able for a time to throw off this hated yoke and to enjoy peace and prosperity. (See 1 Sam. 7:13â€"15). ‘and worth about sixteen cents, was | deemed sufficient (compare 1 Kings | 14.3 and 2 Kings 4:42). The high regard in which Samuel was held by the people of his native town is well shown by the fact that at the sacriâ€" ficial feast in the local sanctuary, or ‘"high place." they waited for him to pronounce the blessing. _ _ Vs. 9:15â€"27. Samuel had, accordâ€"| ing to his custom, sought guidance from God in prayer that he might make the right choice of a man to be king. He was looking. therefore, with i the confidence of a simple faith, for| "Ul@d by the answer to his player. When Saul choice ms appeared the inward voice srid, “Bo-l V. 25. hold the man."

The conception of Ottawa as the Capiâ€" ital of the country and not merely an ;indlvidua] city, has grown in favor, and # is nct too much to assert that at ‘this Confederation celebration tho idea THE NATIONAL CAPITAL From the period of Confederation till very recently, it was customary for the people of Ottawa, as well as those resident elsewhere, to regard the Capital as the favored child of the political gods, past and present, Any expenditures designed to aid the city, even ind‘rectly, were resented in other localites and it was a commonplace to read or hear that Ottawa was mainâ€" tained by the presence of the legislaâ€" tive buildings and all such an establishâ€" ment implied.

Of course, it is quite possible to accept the explanation sometimes offered that tha choice by lot in the national assembly was overâ€" ruled by God so as to confirm the! choice made by Samuel. | V. 25. Samuel told the people thel manner of the kingdom. Fearing that undor the rule of a king the ancient rights and liberties of the people may be lost, Samuel prepares a declaration of those rights, has it written in a book and laid up in the sanctuary.
