y farmer what a stock of goods is to a merchant He cannot keep drawing on It forever without putting en mottling back. Ordinary crops fake plant food from the store in the soil. This must bo replead In oomo way. Le fumes, on the other ha uV leave the oofl richer rather than poorer. If yo« will examine the roots of a clover plant carefully yon will notice - mamerous little swellings about the gfem of pto beads or a little larger. These are called nodules and are the home of certain bacteria. Those bacteria are minute one celled plants, as small thaLthoaaands of them can hang sa the po&t of a pin. We shall study n ot the different classes of bacteria la detail later. The onee that lt*e on the roots of legumes have the power of changing the nitrogen of the air Into a form in which It can be need f.- hy the plants. When clover statable is plowed under the nitrogen which Is contained in the - stems and roots is added to the soil and can be used by the following crop. Where the eoll is badly lacking in nitrogen and humus it sometimes pays to plow under the entire crop of cloTer. The nitrogen which leguminous plants add to the soil is by no mesne the only benefit which comes from their use. Nearly all of them have a long taproot, which forces Its way down Into tfie soil far fcelow the depth reached by the roots of ordinary crops Alfalfa roots sometimes go down »■ deep as thirty feet or more. Much , the plant food used by the crop brought up from this lower layer < soli, and some of It Is left In the npp< soil when the roots and stubble decs: .The passage of the ihttg roots throug the soil also loosens tt, and Wtaeu the decay add to the hnirus supply. Thi the physical condition of the soil is i Improved that the more tender rool of such crops as com can penetrat tt readily. Because of these feci com, potatoes and almost any oth< atop will grow faster and give a coi ■ rider, bly larger yield on a Arid wMc. has grown e legume the jMf previous. The principal legumes are alfalfa. _ clover, cowpeas and soy beans. Alfalfa Is grown most successfully west ef the Missouri river, although by no means confined entirely to that locality. It requires some care to git a good stand of alfalfa. It does best on a soil that is somewhat sandy and1 should never be sown on a. soli where the water table Is liable to stand for any length of time within three feel from the' surface. "Wet feet" will kill \ alfalfa quicker than anything else, j At a general rule tl^e best time to _ i sow alfalfa is early In the fall. The h ground should be put In the best pos- _ I slble tilth, and if manured before sowj tng the seed the chances of success are considerably Increased. The seed . should be sown at the rate of about I fifteen pounds per acre. A light harrowing will cover It sufficiently. If the young plants weather the first I winter successfully, the critical time is past. The -advantages of alfalfa over clover are Its higher feeding value and greater yields. It can often be cut three or four times In a season, with a yield of frem one to two tons per cutting. Alfalfa must always be cnt as soon as about one-tenth of the plants are In bloom; otherwise the vitality is weakened and the yield of the succeeding crops reduced. There are several varieties of clover, ef which medium red Is the most wlde- -

Clover seed are usually j sown with small grain' in the spring. | A surer way of obtaining a stand Is to \ sow after the oats have been disked in ■ and cover with a harrow; otherwise j the seed are put in so deeply that many t of the little plants never reach the sur | face. a One of the principal reasons for fall- 1 nre with clover Is poor seed. A sam- a pie should always be tested before t •owing. This can he easily done by I putting a hundred seeds between a J couple of moist blotters and keeping in f

In this way It' is mixed with ill the manure, and the plant food which p. it contains is returned to the son. In Cowpeas aDd soy beans are to the rs southern part of the United States r. what clover and alfalfa are to the is northern sections. They are grown ir more aa bay and forage than for the m grain. These legumes are also used In some sections of the corn belt as catch j crops. If sown on early fall plowing, :h they prevent the soil from washing a and thus losing much of its available ia nlant food. Thev mav be nastnred off

' srs often sown in cornfields during the 1 last cultivation lo keep the weeds 0 down and to sdd nitrogen to the SOU. Because of the fact that other crops make so much better grow th after the ° field has grown a legume for a year or so It is important that a crop of clover f or some other legume lie grown occa- * sionally. If a plan of rouifioh hi arj' ranged so that the fields nre icgularly changed from one crop to another, so much the better. It las lieen found 0 that when any crop is grown year afU * er year on the same land the yields will v grow less. The |«ru<-ular kinds of food that a certain crop requires grows ® scarcer, and weeds and Insects become more numerous. If another kind of plant Is substituted, other elements of " plant food will be drawn npon, the lo- ' sects will be starved out and the changed methods of soil tree t men t will dls8 courage the weeds. * Plants vary greatly in their ability to get food from the soil Buch crops as ' rye and buckwheat are strong feeders and are able to obtain food" from a soil ^ on wbk-b more tender plant.-: would starve, borne plants' ose iimcb more e humus than others. rifopn" like corn e that are cnlllvaled freqnrtuli deplete the humus supply rapidly, -rnee the constant stirring of the soil imstens ds- * cay. Oats, on the "tiler baud, take comparatively little buuiu" from the soil. These differences may be largely equalized by a consistent system of rotation. Iu planning roiatious- the aim should be Co so distribute ' the crops that they will be best adapt id to tbe condltlon Id which the soil wus left by the preceding crop The starting point of every rotation should lie .-lever or some other lepnne. The leng; h . t time that a field should be left in i. -rich a ■ crop depends largely on !•- . con." ■ tions In tlie east, where all. -a d Is high and the difficulties of ol.t.,i ,e«c a stand great, it Is usually wise pjow up the crop for Ibree • r four heuri- if not plowed up the so... .d tear the land must be reseeded. Ir. nest cases two years Is as long us the laud should I*, left to any one crop. Since clover Is grown with small grain the first year, this means only one year in which It will be the sole crop, if the second crop of -clover is to be plowed under, as Is the case when the. soil is considerably lacking in humus, this work had . better be done to the fall, so that tfie mass of f green clover may have time to decay before the following crop is planted. the soil has been properly cared for, however, this green manuring will be unnecessary. As a general rule It 'to profitable to, feed- the hay or grass to stock, and return the manure to the land. In this way from 80 to per cent as much plant food is added as would have, been If the crop had bees plowed under, ana at the same time the stock has had the beneof the extra feed. When only the stubble is to be turned under, the plowing may be done either In late or early spring.
