of nitrogen, but It bad been thought
thut it drotv it to a Ifcpgo exteut from
tho subsoil. Recent A'Csearolies, how
ever, show that it has tha power to
gather from tho air all tliu supplies of
nitrogen which it needs. Nitrogen, it
must bo remembered, composes four*
fifths of tho atmosphere, uresanting an
Inexhaustible supply. It bus been found
that clover obtains its nitrogen from
the air by means of tlio bacteria that
have their base of operations in tho lit
tle knots or nodulous waste or tubercles
on tho clover roots. It lias also been
shown tln^t clover can bo grown in pure
land, l'wtAiliicd with potash aud phos
phoric acid, but without tlio least truce
of nitrogen, provided it lias been wa
tered with clear water which has been
filtered through Boils in which clover
plants lntvo been grown, containing
tho bacteria which assist in gathering
tho nitrogen from tlio air. This indi
cate that sandy lnnd can be inudo to
produce good crops of clover without
the application of any nitrogenous ma
nures', provided a sufficient supply of
phosphoric acid and potash arc present.
MINERAL ELEMENTS NEEDED.
Clover is quite exhaustive to the soil
in respect to phosphoric acid and pot
ash. It removes quite li^rgo quantities
of those elements, and if the supply
runs short the clover crop will fail.
This is tho reason that some soils aftor
a few crops of clover fail to produce
good crops of clovor, and tho land is
said to ho "clover rich.” What is
needed is a supply of tho mineral cle
ment mid then good crops of clover cun
be again produced. The cost ot supply
ing th" necc r iary quantities of phospho
ric ncid and potnsD is not great, consid
ering the value of the crop produced.
If tlio farmer, by supplying tlio clover
plant with what potash and phosphor!"
acid it needs, call secure tho gathering
from the air all the supplies of nitrogen
which he needs, ho lias gained an im
portant point ill tho solution of tho fer
tilizer question. The cost of nitrogen
is about sixteen cents par pound, while
the cost of notasli is about four cents
and that of phosphoric acid about seven
cents per pound. If lie can save buyin
the most costly element of plant fom
and have abundant supplies ■ f it gatli
ored from tho air for him by the clover
plant, lie lias made n long stride ahead,
andean well afford to purchase freely
of tlio less costly mineral elements.
Now, the farmers want, to act generally
upon this principle—raise plenty of clo
ver for the sake of tho nitrogen, feed to
farm stock, ravo tho fertiliz t.i and an
ply to the soil and go on enriching their
farms and increasing productiveness.
Lil’cct of Nitruifcnous Manure.
An intcroU'ng experiment is reported
in a recoil bulletin from tlio Ston's’
station in C nnectieut. It was under
taken to sho'" tho effect of nitrogen on
grass, both us to yield and quality.
Potash and phosphoric acid alone in
creased the yield of clover, but did not
of tho grasses. Nitrate of soda on tli
grasses increased tlio yield in eve
case—tho most profit being obtaim.
from u dose of ti'.’U pounds per acre.
This corroborates tho former report that
clover is a nitrogen collector, while
grasses like timothy arc nitrogen con
sumers. It also explains the philoso
phy of using liquid manures and otlie:
substances containing soluble nitrogen
on grass in the spring. It was also
found that tlio application of nitrogen
ous fertilize increased the proportion
of protein in he grasses—making hi
of higher f ding value. Fertiliz
farmers usin large quantities of solu
ble nitrogen often claim 1 lint the hay
they grow is very superior in quality
and greatly preferred l>y stock to that
grown ou noor^r.soil...TUlfi.exDeriwout
>:utniotf MoIoiim.
Single plants in the row do hotter
than in tho hills; insects do not got in
their work ns they do in the hill. Af
ter all tho danger from this source is
about past, 1 thin out so that eacli plant
is about three foot from its neighbor
This gives eacli all independent posi
tion. Then each plant gets an equal
share of the rain on tho lot. Should
the root grubs begin to work on the
roots, which can bo discovered by the
plant just wilting, dissolve nitrate of
potash, one ounce, in a pint of water,
and put a tablespoonfnl into a pail of
water and apply u pint to each lull in
tho evening. Keep this up for several
days or until tho first solution is all
used. I use seeds of several different
kinds, ns I lant for family use, and
save tho seeds of tko best ouch year,
and, when I plant next year, I also buy
some new seeds of somo of tho green
nutmeg varieties, and never fail to
have lots of melons. I believe that by
this method I can raise a melon for
every two square feet of ground in the
lot.

Fertilizing Formula..
The elements of fertility absolutely
necessary in a complete, commercial fer
tilizer uro nitrogen, potash and phos
phoric acid. Many other substances are
found in all manures, both natural and
manufactured, which need not be named.
Experience has shown that different
crops generally succeed best by the list
of varied combinations of the principal
fertilizing elements. Hence the leading
manufacturers furnish the public with
manures for different crops under differ
ent brands, ns potato manure, corn ma
nure, tobacco manure, etc., which the*
guarantee to contain ammonia, pho*
photic acid and potash in the percent
ages stated.
Now that many of the state experi
ment stations are analyzing them exten
sively and manufacturers have their rep
utations at stako in maintaining the
quality of their goods, one runs littlo or
no risk in buying a special fertilizer of
which the composition is guaranteed in
any of the leading makes. A quite com
mon and gord formula for potato manure
is ammonia, 4.50 to 5 per cent; phos
phoric acid, 8 to 10 per cent; actual pot
ash, 0 to 8 per cent, Tlio potato brand
will bo equally useful on most garden
vegetables, although manufacturers of
fer many specialties, such as cabbage
manure, onion manure, fruit und vine
manure, manures for different soils, also
complete manures for general use.

A Talk In XVlitch It I. Explained What It
Is and What It Docs.
Thera is probably as much plaster used
tow 23 e^cr, but tha common U9e of it
and familiarity with it makes it less
talked about. Thero nro Roveral popular
errors in regard to land plaster that
ought to bo corrected, saya Rural Now
Yorker, authority for tho following:
First, thero is bo vegetable or org-unio
matter in it. It is solely mineral and
contains 82J par cent of limo, 40} of sul
phuric ncid and 21 of water loosely com
bined uu water of crystallization.
it is often said that plaster takes water
from tho air and thus supplies tho crops
in a dry time. This is not tho case. It
is not absorbent of water any more than
Blind is, and tho small quantity used on
an acre, generally loss than 100 pounds,
would bo quite opposed to tho^ossibili-
ty that it could bo of any service, even
if it absorbed soverul times its weight of
water. When plaster is heated or cal-
cinod, tho water contained in it is driven
off, and it is then nblo to combine with
this water again as plaster for tho ma
son’s use, and innlto a Boft stony sub
stance. Hut it costs something to burn
the plaster, and this is never done for its
uso for tho laud, or if it is it is a mis
take and n witsto of labor.
Third, it has boon said that plaster
should bo applied to tho crops when tho
leaves tiro wet with dow ov rain, be-
cuuso then it will bo dissolved and tnkon
ill by tlio leaves, and thus do great good
to tlio plan's. Now, it is perfectly cer
tain thut plants do not take tiny solid
matter or even water or vapor of water,
in tho leaves; only air is thus taken 'n
by them, anil tho truth is that tho plas
ter is dissolved in tho water of tho soil,
of which 4(10 parts dissolve one of gyp
sum, nnd is then taken in by tho route,
and thus its effect is often perceived in
tlio darker green color of tho leaves, 24
hours after tlio application of it.
Another reason why plaster may not
bo so much used now is that superphos
phate of limo lias a le^;o proportion i f
sulphate of lime in it, and this is pre
cisely the sumo us tlio plaster, which is
natural sulphate of lime. South Caro
lina rock ia a phosplui'.c of limo mixed
with carhonato in the form of shells and
Is only slow / soluble in the soil. But it
is more soluble when it is finely ground,
in which state it is called “floats,” and
is then cheapen,than when it is dissolved
by ncid as snpi rphosphato, und it' u largi
quantity—as much as a ton to the acre—
is used it has been found useful and a
permanent benefit to tho lund. Being
insoluble, it is not of any apparent ben
efit when used in small quantities.
Cultivation Artur Italn..
Hero is somo timely advice from tho
Wisconsin agricultural experiment sta
tion’s animal report: Unless tho grou..d
is already too wet, the stirring of the
surface noil, whenever practicable,
should folk w just ns soon after a con
siderable rainfall as tho tools will work
well. Tlio ( ultivation should, as a rule,
bo shallow, leaving utliin stratum of tl e
surface soil finely pulverized nnd com
pletely cut off from tho ground belo' \
If this is not done, tho extremely ra 1
evaporation which takes place from i .-
disturbed wet soil on hot, clear days
may oven in a few hours not only dissi
pate that which has just fallen, but also
fo'TIo dr awn toward tlio surface from
lower levels, nnd thus lc.uvo tlio grounds
actually drier, ns a whole, than before
tho rain, oven though it may look more
moist at the surface.
When a succession of showers follow
one another at just tho right intervals
and are of tho right amounts to strength
en tho capillary flow into tlio upper
stratum from below each time, without
any porcolation taking place, it is evi
dent that such soils, loft to themselves
under these conditions, may lose not
only tho water which falls directly upon
them, but a considerable portion of that
stored below, down at least to five feet.
On the other hand, if each shower it
promptly followed by cultivation, the; -
will bo at first a movement of water up'
ward, uml finally (ho same rains, which
under other conditions would leuvo the
lower strata drier than before they fell
may contribute u considerable amount
by percolation to the deeper layers.
Hnmlllng Fowls.
A Wisconsin farmer called attention
nt a farmers’ club to the important point
of handling fowls, llo illustrated his
meaning as follows:
If you catch a bird, leaving its wings
free, a desperate struggle will result,
likely to injure the plumage, and in the
case of a setting hen to distract lieri
from her vocation. My piun is us fol
lows: Approach tho bird from behind
placo both hands firmly and quickly
right over tho wing points, then slip the'
right hand down and secure tho legs
firmly. All fluttering will thus ho avoid
ed, anil the bird, held by the legs, with
the left hand under tlio breast, will not
offer resistance. Night is tho time to
catch nnd handle birds, for then ono can
slip up from behind and proceed as has
been described without nunoyanco to the
bird or loss of time and worry to the
owner.
Thing. That Are Told.
Soda moistened with water and ap
plied directly to tlio boo sting will allay
tho pain nlmost immediately and coun
teract tlio poison. If stung in the field,
take some earth, moisten it so it will ad
here to tlio surface and lay it on, and the
effect will lie liko magic. A bee sting
should be treated as soon as possible or
the remedies will prove ineffectual.
In a bulletin issued from, the Now
York experiment station it is recom
mended that tlio treatment with bor-
doaux mixture on celery plants bo con
tinued from transplanting time to blanch
ing time if there is reason to anticipate
attacks of leaf spot.
Statistics prove farmers to average
longer lifo than most other workers, u
fact due to the oven lives they lead and
steady employment the year round.

THE STREAM OF LIFE.
Like n small streamlet on a mountain side,
A wlilto thread glancing in tho summer sun,
Lightly down leaping with a joyous spring,
Bo posses happy childhood’s playful hour.
Next, through green dells and 'neath o’ershad-
owlng crugs,
Tho growing stream With heedless flow winds
on,
Now gladly lingering round some glowing Isle
That smiles with heavenly beauty and allures
\VIth promise of perpetual delights;
Now fiercely dashing down some rough cas
cade.
Whore rushing waters split on hostile rocks.
Spouting aloft tho iridescent spray
Drifted in buuIosh clefts by swaying winds;
So pass tho years of youth. Our rlper'ago
Is liko tho broadened river’s stately march,
Whose current slackens, yet admits no pause,
But passes Held and coppice, tower and town.
Not wholly ’seaplng from defiling stains,
Yet tolling onward restlessly. Adown
Its smooth yet ever sliding stream wo haste,
Nor mark tho progress of its quiet speed,
Till, faster rushing ns It nears the end,
It, sweeps tin onward in resistless course
Through the torn rapids of disease und pain.
Till, plunging down tho cataract of death.
We glide into a vast and unknown space—
The boundless ocean of eternity.

Middletown, Conn.: While a resident
of that town was driving along a coun
try road at tho edge of a wood his dog
flushed n couple of partridges. The
birds burst out of tho brush with u
Whir, flying side by sido, and as they
fl'ere passing over tho hunter’s head he
made a vicious cut with his whip at

whip hit ono of tho birds und broke its

When Sore Throats Were Expensive.
“When I first went into the show busi

“ono of my chief attractions was a pair
of giraffes. Giraffes were a novelty in
thoso days, and tlieso proved to be a great
card, but before I had them a month
they wore both taken with soro throats.
Do you realize what it means for a giraffe
to havo a sore throat? It pretty nearly
bankrupted me to provide for their cure.’'

“Seeing is Believing.’
And a good lamp
must be simple; when it is not simple it is
not good. Simple, Beautiful, Good—these
words mean much, but to see “The Rochester”
will impress the trutli more forcibly. All metal,
tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only,
it is absolutely sa fe and unbreakable. Like Aladdin’s
of f J, it is indeed a “wonderful lamp,” for its mar-
velojs light is purer and brighter than gas light, v
softci than electric light and more cheerful than either.
Somo argue that light, the astron
omer s only basis of search in tho un
fathomable regions of space, expands
and decomposes in its progress, and that
at best it gives us only very imperfect
data upon which to base calculations.
Placer county, Nov., lays claim to a
valuable specimen of petrified vegeta
tion. It consists of two pieces of rock
which aro believed to have been water
melons,, ns they lmvo the exact shape
and appearance of that fruit.

stiucting the great Liffel tower makes
that famous structure eight inches
shorter in winter than it is during tho
hot summer months.
