The summary is as fol- - ; ... . - ' OW: ' Cow peas, clover, vetebe and ether plants, known a leguminous plants or legum,' Wbsn plowed under enrich the soil by adding nitrogen, a large proportion of which they have obtain tained trrft tb atmosphers,- - - , The, enlargement or tubercles on the roots nrq the njean by which the free ntlfogen of the sir is made available to leguminous pkata if these tubercles are wanting on a leguminous plant the nitrogen of the air I unavailable to that plant Just u It 1 to cotton, grass, and all other higher plants that are not leguminous. On some soils these norma tubercles dlo not develop on the roots of such legumes as hsve never before been grown in that locality. The growth ot tubercles can be induced by adding certain germa to ths soil, a process which k called inoculation. In Alabama tbs cow pea Is ths most generally satisfactory renovstlng plant for summer gfowth. There Is also need for winter growing leguminous plants, such as hairy vetch and crimson clover, to occupy ths land In winter between two sale crops, in order to decrease washing sad leaching ot the oil and to add vegetable matter rich In nitrogen. Hairy vetch,, without fertiliser, yielded on a field where this plant had been repeatedly grown 17,765 pounds ot green forage, or 1174 pounds ot hay per acre.. On a field where hairy vetch had never before been grown and where the fertiliser applied contained add and potash, but no nitrogen, the yield was only 235 pounds ot hay per acre; on an adjoining and similar jilot, the seed for which were Inoculated with earth from sn old vetch field, the yield of hay was 2,540 pounds, an Increase ot 095 per cent following treatment which cost nothing except a small amount ot labor. On the Inoculated plot the plants were well supplied with tubercles, while on the plot not treated Ahe plants were hare of tubercles. A gem fertilizer, intended to make available the free nitrogen ot the air by inducing the growth of tubercles on legumes grown In soils not already stocked with the proper forms of gem life, was purchased Ip- Germany and used . In Auburn la pot experiments with hairy vetch, Canada field peas and crimson clover. Inoculation with this germ fertiliser or nitrogen greatly increased the yields ot all of these plants sa compared . with untreated plants. This Increase in the weight of In oculated plants, after thorough drying. was as follows: Hairy vetch. Increased by St per - phoe-pbor- cent io 13S Canada field peas. Increased by per cent Crimson dovsr (young plants), increased by 146 per cent Lupins (tested on only ons soil), not Increased. Germ fertilizer prepared for vetch, was effective on Canada field peaa Inoculation material procured without cash outlay acted like nitrogen, and greatly Increased the yields of hairy vetch and alfalfa. Soil from k field where a given leguminous plant has recently been sue cessfully grown Is sn effective inocula ting material for the same kind of plant when first sown ia n soil not si -' ready naturally supplied with ths roquired form of germ life. The dust adhering to the seed of bur clover was an effective inoculating material for alfalfa; the increase in the first cutting ot alfalfa hay following this Inoculation Was 336 per cent Inocnlatlorf fof cow pea and lesped-ez- a was apparently unnecessary in the polls used in these experiments.

The cranberry growers of the eastern end of Long island are now harvesting the crop of 1897, which prom-lsto bs an unusually large one. Ths berries are also very fins, being large and sound and have an excellent flavor.

Long Island cranberries always find ready market and at a good figure, The price paid this year will nndoubtsdly bs at least IS per bushel A cranberry marsh needs llttls or no fertiliser, the most essential point being to see that the marsh ia flooded with water at the right time and drawn off with equal precision. In consequence of this there is very little labor and lees still of capital needed in conducting n cranberry marsh after tbs ground ts prepared, the plants aet out, knd the marsh is in growing condition.
