INCREASING THE Qib.QVER CROP
Every farmer knawa that if he plows.
up a plover meadow he increases the
fertility of that field. O4e of the reap ni
for thisis that, the °lover oontaine a WEB
store of the valuable fertilizipg element.
nitrogen, and as the glover pleats decay
in the soil thio nitrogenbecomes avail-
able for the use of the outmoding crop.
The question naturally arises, why fa it
that the olovera add more nitrogen to the
soil than other orops. The farmer may
have nottoed as he turned up the roots
of the plover that there were spattered
along the roots, eapeoially on the finer
rootlete,little wbitiahnodules orbgnohea,
If he had out One of these little nodules
in two witha aberp knife he would have
seen that the inside was pinkish white,
and if he bad a powerful microscope et
hand he would find on examining this
pinkish white substance that it was
largely a meas of very tiny rods, dome
straight, same ourved, and some T or Y
shaped. These rode are baoterla. These
beoterie get into the Sue roots when the
seed germinates, grow and multiply
there as the clover planta grow, and as
they grow they draw upon the nitrogen
of the air in the Boil and. store this
nitrogen up to the plover plant. Hence,
the clover plant by the aid of these
bacteria is able to grow, and to store vp
more nitrogen than it needs and which
it can supply to euaoeeding Drops. With-
out the bacteria, the glover plant meet
get all ite nitrogen from the soil instead
at getting much of it from the air, and
hence when the clover is plowed ander
there is no aotual increase in the fertility
of the soil. In fast, olovera make the
beet growth when there are plenty of
bacteria present in the soil, as shown by
the preeenoe of lots of nodules on the
plant roots. This is explained more fully

NOTES AND COMMENTS
Two prison reforms may be instituted
with the opening of the new Central
Prieon at Guelph:one providing for the
payment to the family of the oonviot
of at least a part of his earnings in
prison, and the other will mean that
the prisoners will do largely municipal
or colonization work, so that there shall
be no possibility of competition between
oonviot and free labour.

addressing that deparment.
These bacteria can be grown ander
artificial conditions in bacteriological
laboratories, and oaltnree of them may
be applied to the seed when it is sown,
thus furnishing plenty of the appropriate
bacteria to get into the newly formed
roots and form the necessary nodules,
When there is failure to get a good
stand of plovers, or when the crop does
not thrive, it indicates usually that the
necessary bacteria are not present in the
soil, and in such uses the treatment of
the seed in future seediogs, as mentioned
above, usually aids in securing a better
crop. Further, the nee of such cultures
is usually advisable when teed of any
prover is sown on new land or on a field
that has not previously grown that orop
Each year since 1905 the Baoteriol•
ogioal Laboratory of the Ontario Agri-
onitural College at Guelph, has sent out
such cultures to all farmers who applied.
Eaoh year, reoipients of the cultures
have been caked to report as to whether
the treatment of the seed had resulted
in benefit or not, and of these reports
about 65 per cent, stated that the onilures
had aided in snaring a better stand and
increased growth of the crop. The
College is preparing to sand out cultures
of these nitrogea•gathering bacteria
during the coming spring for the inoon-
lation of the following seeds: Alfalfa,.
red or mammoth olover, shake clover,
white olover, crimson clover, vetches,
peas, beans, sweet peas. Each kind of
seed requires a different culture. The
cultures are sent by mail with full
instructions for their use. There is only
one size package prepared, that being
suffioient to inoonlate sixty pounds of
seed. There is a nominal charge of 25
cents for each paokage of culture to
cover coat of preparation and postage.
Farmers intending to secure these
bacterial cultures would do well to send
in their application early so that they
may be sure of getting the oniture in
ample time for seeding. Applications
should state the kind and amount of
seed to be treated, and should be
addressed with enclosed postal note,
stamps, or money order to,

Commons on Wednesday of last week by
another new policy contributed from the
Opposition, whichhas already edvanoed
three divergent proposals. Dr.Chishlotn

proper national self•reepeot, or with the
underlying principles of Canada's de-

ginal suggestion that Canada should
hire seven Dreadnonghts at a cost of a
million and a half a year to protect the
Atlantic trade routes and safeguard
Britain's sources of food supply. He
gave another unique turn to the debate
by dilating at considerable length on the
wisdom of developing the Hudson's Bay

Avg Stock Stock markets,.
Union Stook 'Yards, Toronto, Feb 21.
Trade was more than nonally aotive et
this market to•dey for Monday market,
Thie was probably doe to the fact that
one or two et the largest buyers of ex.
port cattle were in the market today
and doing quite an active begone.
The fact that these men have hitherto,
usually left their buying for the Tues-
day's market when chiefly cattle for
export are offering paused the looal
butcher buyers to look around and to
make ante of nearing .some cattle early'
in the week, as it is, lest they should
have to go short or pay higher prices
later on. The effect of .the sharp trade
on primal today was to give everything
a decidedly firm tone, butcher cattle in
few instances selling at $6.
The.foliowing are she quotations:
Dear Sir,—In reply to the letter in.
serted in this paper last week, I simply
with to put before the people of Wing -
ham a few sentences that I have copied
from the by.law and also from the
agreement that Mr. Pringle has with
the town.
From the bylaw we read "That in
consideration of the said aid, it has been.
agreed that the said William David
Pringle shall erect in the said Town of
Wingham a suitable tannery, built of
brink, two story in height, and of the
dimensions of at least 66 ft. by 50 ft.
together with a boiler and coal shed
30 ft. by 36 ft, one atory in height, also
to be made of brick, and shall install
therein plant and maohinery for the
said business."
From the agreement we read ;—"That
he (Mr. Pringle) will not at any time
during the said ten years engage in any
business of a nature which will conflict
with any firm or company, at present
doing business in the said Town of
Wingham,", The agreement also clear-
ly states the erection of a tannery, and
in no place oan I see where glove insua-
factnring is mentioned. I will not
discuss this matter further, as the by.
law, and also the agreement can be seen
at any time at the Town Hall, and those
interested oan, by reading same, decide
for themselves where the injustice
comes in. It is quite evident that a
number of our ratepayers have never
read same. Mr. Beckwith (who wrote
the letter) has stated to me that he had
not done so, but had written the letter
from information given him by Mr.
Pringle.
Also, I with to state that Mr. Pringle
did not own or have any claim on any
of the glove sewing machines that I
need during the time I mounted the
rooms rested from him, and further, to
state that during the three years I have
been in Wingham I have baked no
favors from the town.
I am yours respeottnlly,
W. H. GURNEY.
