It has been known for centuries
that the soil of fields in which there
has been grown a good clover, pea
or other leguminous crop is richer
after the crop than it was before.
Hence the practice of having a glover

BABY'S REALTH
IN THE SPRING
The spring is a time of anxiety to
mothers who have little ones in the
borne. Conditions make it necessary
to keep the baby indoors. He la often
confined to overheated, badly venti-
lated rooms and catches colds which
rack his whole system. To guard
against this, a box of Baby's Own
Tablets should be kept in the house
and an occasional dose given the
baby to keep his stomach and bowels
working regularly. This will prevent
colds, constipation or colic and keep
baby well. The Tablets aro sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

COLORED LIGHTS WE SEE
WITH EYES SHUT
When you snot your eyes, especial-
ly if you press upon them, you will
see blotches of light, more or less
vivid and changing in color as the
moments pass. Several names have
been given to these, among them
being "phosphenes," "light dust"'and
'ocular spectra." The Popular Science
Monthly says these are "probably
caused by the ever -varying modifica-
tions that occur in the circulation
of the blood in the retina, or by the
slight pressure of the eyeball upon
the retina when the closed lid is
pressed against the front of the eye.
"That these spectra may be a
stimulus for dream -pictures seems
plausible. One investigator, grad-
ually awaking with the dream pic-
tures before him, watched It dissolve
into phosphenes and melt into the
colored spots perceived by the clos-
ed eyes.
"The circulation of the blood in the
closed eyelid may also make images .
that serve as stimuli for dream pic-
tures when a little light falls on the
eyelids."
LAUGHTER AND LABOR BRING
HAPPY AGE
A beautiful recipe for longevity
was given by Dr. W. W. Keen, the
eminent Philadelphia surgeon, at
dinner in celebration of his eighty-
fourth birthday, which was on Jan-
uary 19th last.
"Long since," he said, "I gave up
the rather opprobrious phrase 'old
age,' and have substituted for it the
more seductive locution 'accumulated
years.' The latter connotes a cer-
tain joy in continued acquisition, a
sort of pride in adding one annual
sparkling jewel after another to an
already precious store.
"I was asked recently how it was
that I had managed to accumulate so
many years, to which I promptly re-
plied: 'Nothing is simpler—don't
stop. Just keep right along.' Mix
merry laughter with earnest labor.
Always have some as yet unflr)ished
but not too urgent job waiting just
outside your door. Then you will
neverknow ennui. To'kill time' is
o e
murder in the first degree."
"MY ONLY BROTHER DIED 150
YEARS AGO," HE SAID
"Have you no kinsmen to help
you?" was asked of a poor man who,
applied for relief in Brussels a few
days ago.
My only brother died 150 years
ago," answered the applicant.
Amazing as was his stateftent, it
proved to be true.
A still more extraordinary lapse of
time between the birth of two bro-
thers is reeorded by Henry Bellenden
Ker, a well known English lawyer of
the early nineteenth century. Qne of
the witnesses in a probate action in
which Bellenden -Ser was engaged
was asked if he lied any -brothers or
— sisters. He replied:
"My only brother t1ide 152 years
through the court, yet documentary
evidence was produced to, confirm the
old man's statement. His father had
married at the age of nineteen, and
by this wife had a eon who died in
infancy. He married again at the
age of seventy-five and d another
son, the witness, who wa ninety-six,
when he gave his eviden
The Fox family can show a re-
markable record of this type. There
were only two generations in the di-
rect line of descent between Sir Ste-
phen Fox, who was born in 1627
and (so• it is said) attended Charles
I. on the scaffold, and the third
Earl of Ilchester, who died in 1858.
Thus it happened that of two aunts
of Charles James Fox, one, his fath-
er's ha sister, died in 1653, and
the nth , Lady Sarah Napiner, his
mother's youngest sister, died in
1828.
- The Maude family is another
long-lived line. Captain Francis
Maude, R.N., was born in 1798 and
survived until 1886. His paternal
grandfather was born in 1671, and
his father, the first Lord Hawarde:n,
in 1729, the three generation cov-
ering 213 years. Lord Hawarden
married in 1777, for his third wife,
a bride of eighteen, who died in 1851.
There were thus 122 years between
the hlrth of the husband and the
death of his wife.

EXTREME MISERY
DAY AND NIGHT
Follows a Breakdown of the Nervous
System.
Misery day and night is the lot of
hosts of men and women who are to-
day the victims of weak nerves.
Thin, pale, drawn faces and dejected
attitude tell a sad tale, for nervous
weakness Means being tortured by
morbid thoughts and unaccountable
fits of depression. These sufferers
are painfully sensitive and easily agi-
tated by some chance remark. Sleep-
lessness robs them of energy and
strength; their eyes are sunken and
their limbs tremble; appetite is poor
and memory often fails. This nerv-
ous exhaustion is one of the most
serious evils affecting men and wo-
men of to -day. The only way to bring
back sound, vigorous health is tR feed
the starved nerves, which are'fifamor-
ing for better blood. This new blood
can be had through the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, which have a di-
rect action on the blood, and through
the blood on the nervous system. That
a fair use of this medicine will bring
satisfactory results is shown by the
experience of Mrs. Marsh, Bass River,
N.S., who says: "Following a ruts
down condition, I became practically
a nervous wreck. The doctor who
was called in said the trouble was
inflammation of the nerves. It grew
so bad that practically I had no con-
trol of my levels limbs, and had to
go about with crutches. Quite aside
from my suffering I had a small fami-
ly and a baby in arms to care for and
Ibscams
mach discouraged, as I
did
not appear to be growingbetter. One
evening my husband met an aged
doctor on the street and told him of
my condition. He asked my husband
who' was attending me, and when told
said: "I don't want to interfere, but
why not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.'
MF husband got me a supply of these
pills and after taking a few boxes I
was able to go about with the use of
one crutch. Continuing the use of the
pills I was able to discard the other
crutch as well, and was as active as
ever I had been. There are many in
this neighborhood who know what my
condition was when I began to use Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and who know
what this medicine did for me, and I
hope my experience may help some
other sufferer."
/Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold
by all dealers in medicine, or may be
had by mail at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for $2.50 from the. Dr. Williams'

ioria are• not present.
It has been found that L14Rrr,•nt
varieties of legume bacteria are ne-
cessary for most of the sariuu2
legumes. The variety of bacteria
good for red and white clover 1s no
good for alfalfa or sweet clover; the
variety good for geld pease is no good
for field beans, and the variety good
for field beans Lt no good for soy
beans, and so on with other legumes.
It any particular legume crop hu
not been growing satisfactorily in
any particular field, It is question-
able if the right k:nd of legume bac-
teria is present in the soil of that
field. So, before a satisfactory crop
can be grown the right bacteria have
to be Introduced. For Instance, the
cultivation of alfalfa Is a new prac-
' flee In many sections. If sweet
clover is common in the district it Is
probable that the right bacteria are
there for alfalfa, as the variety good
for sweet clover i; good for alfalfa.
If It Is not present, it is doubtful if
a good crop will be grown; hence
the difficulty often met with In get-
ting alfalfa established In a new dis-
trict unless the bacteria are first
introduced. There are various ways
of introducing the bacteria. One is
to take a few Mads of soil from a
field In which (Inc bacteria are pres-
ent and scatter this over and work
ft into the field to be treated. This
method. was the first adopted. It is
not practicable, however, In most
cases.
Legume Seed Inoculation.—
Another way is to inoculate the seed
of the legume crop to be sown with
a pure culture of the right variety
of bacteria. When this is done, the
bacteria are on the surface of the
seed whop' i..

parts of Canada on application for
the same. Letters received from
those who have. used these cultures
speak very highly of this method of
inoculation as shown by the following
excerpts:
Comox, B.C.: "In the spring of
1914 you sent me some alfalfa cul-
ture suitable for this district. After
two years, I have to report that the
inoculated patches have flourished
exceedingly well and are making
most luxuriant growth, entirely
crowding out the weeds and showing
a splendid color. The others Which
were not inoculated have almost en-
tirely died out and the few plants
left were small and very pale. In
tact, 1 have recently ploughed them
up.,,
Fdmoatoa, Alberta: "We made
many tests in Ontario which proved
to us that even alfalfa screenings
would produce a greater growth the
first and second year., after being
treated with the bacterial culture,
than the very best quality of alfalfa
seed would without treatment. Ws
have been using the bacteria here,
and have bad a very good result the
first year."
Fort William: "Regarding the cul-
tures which you supplied last spring,
they were used on a field of peas of
an -early variety. The larger portion
of the seed was inoculated, but part
was planted in the ordinary way as a
check plat. The seeding was eft done
about the 12th of May. In twelve
weeks the whole field had reached
maturity with the exception of the
uninoculated strip which was still

periment that the crop W214 not only
improved in yield, but growth and
maturity' were hastened. The part of
the crop grown from inoculated seed
gave excellent results and in future
cultures will be used on all legumes
grown on the homy farm."
