Tho soils of North Georgia seem
1o l)o more doticiont in nitrogen
than any of tho other fertiliser in-
gt'odicnts. This being true, wo
must depend largely upon the
work of bacteria to supply this
plant food, and this can be done by
growing leguminous crops.
Some have predicted a “nitro
gen famine,” and that it is to oc
cur within the m xt forty or fifty
years. Whether this be true or
not there >s no doubt that the drain
! upon the earth’s supply of nitros
| gen is yery great. One scientist
; now claims that he has just devis
! ed u moans of extracting free ni
trogen from the air, converting it
! into the nitrate form, lie can
it 75 per cent cheaper than
present prices. If this is made.
I practical, it would prove a blcss-
| ing to agricultural interests every-
' where. Larger crops would be
grown and the price of fertilizer
would lie reduced immensely,
j The people of the United States
I spend annually $15,0(X),000 fur
nitrate of soda alone. Much of
this would be saved if we would
| only depend more upon our little
I friends, the bacteria of tho soil,
j and grow more peas, clover, &c.,
I and give them ail opportunity of
1 taking nitrogen from the air and
! storing it in the soil. It is estii
j mated that after a medium crop of
j cow pea bay has been removed
I from tlie land, there is enough
j plant food left in the nodules and
| roots of the peas on each acre to
j equal in value to 150 pounds of
j high grade fertilizer.
By growing Cow peas, or other
; leguminous crops, we get not only
our crop of hay, but have stored
I up a large amount of plant food
j ready for the succeeding crop.
Not only will leguminous crops
supply plant food to the soil, but
they will grow in soil entirely de
ficient in nitrogen, provided the
bactc r ia are in the soil. Plants
will not grow in soils absolutely
free from potash or phosphoric
acid. “If quartz sand be ignited
to rod heat, thus burning out all
the nitrates, and then be planted
with peas or beans, it is possiblo
to bring the plants to full matur
ity without m any way allowing a
particle of fixed nitrogen to find
its way into the soil. On the oth
er hand, wheat or potatoes, or
crops not legumes, will die as soon
as the small amount of nitrogen
available from the seed is exhaust
ed.”
The nodules in which the bac
teria grow vary in size from a pin
head to clusters the size of a pota
to. At first these nodules were
supposed to have been caused by
tho bites of worms and insects, or
by conditions of the soil and va
rious abnormal climatic effects.
The bacteria for most legumN
nous crops are generally distribu
ted in tho soil, hut if they are not
present, tho growing of a legumi
nous crop would be of no more
benefit to tho soil than the grow
ing of a crop of wheat or potatoes.

The power of a song is
thing wonderful at times, says
the Pittsburg Gazette. This is
well illustrated by a story, and a
true one, told not long ago:
The Americans who were cross
ing the Atlantic met in the cabin
on Sunday night to sing hymns.
As they sang the last hymn, “Je
sus, Lover of My Soul,” one of
them heard an exceedingly rich
and beautiful voice behind him.
He looked around, and, although
ho did not know tho face, he
thought- that ho knew the voice.
So when t he music ceased he turn
ed and asked the man if be had
been in the Civil War. Tire man
sell 1 r? plied that ho had been a Con*
jj 1(l 1 federate soldier.
“Were you at such a place
such a night?” asked Lin* first.
“Yes,” lie replied, “and a cu- i
rious thing happened that, night |
which this hymn has recalled to
my mind. 1 was posted on sentry
duty near tho edge of a wood. It
was a dark night and very :old,
and I was a little frightened be- j
cause the enemy was supposed to j
lie very near. About midnight, '
when everything was very still,
and 1 was feeling homesick and
miserable and weary, 1 thought
that I would comfort myself
praying and singing a hymn. 1
remember singing this hyin :
‘‘All my trust mi Tlvee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.
“After singing that a strange
peace came down upon me, and
through the long night I felt no
more fear,”
“Now,” said the other, “listen
to my story. 1 was a Union sol
dier and was in the woods that
night with a party of scouts. 1
saw you standing, although I. did
not see your face. My men hud
their rifles focussed upon you,
waiting the word to fire, hut
when you sang out:
“Cover my defenseless head
With tho shadow of Thy wing,
I said: ‘Boys, lower your rifles,
we will go homo.’ ”
School Trustee Got Mad.
En. Nugget:
While the Pisgah school is go
ing on and is as large as ever for
the season, one of the trustees (A.
,T. Ash) has taken a very unfair
scheme for some unknown cause
by having all the land about the
school house posted, and forbid
ding, even anything picked up.
So a few days ago, while two of
the patrons were cutting and haul
ing wood from land, belonging to
Caleb Seabolt and Ben Ravan,
for the use of the school. Ash
went up and raised a row with
! them and said two saplings had
j been cut on his land, and he told
t one of the men he intended to

It is peculiarly siul to mo yet so
natural that we are too forgetful
of our duties to others. It costs
so little to make us feel happy.
Thoughtfulness is a delightful
faculty. Even a pleasant word or
a bright smile in this great big
world amid the whirlpool of ad
versity' as well as opulence is al
ways cheering. Kindness is a
great driving wheel. I don’t be
lieve in waiting until wo are dead
to put (lowers on our graves. Now
is the time to drop flowers along
1 our pathway that wo may know
| and love our friends. I prefer my
flowers in life.
Not long ago I happened to hoar
a conversation—a father talking
to his careless daughter. I sat
quietly while T felt very miserable.
“I want to speak to you,” ho said,
“of your mother. I t may be that
you have notified a care-worn look
upon her face lately. Of course
it has not been brought there by
any actions of yours, still it is
your duty to chase it away. I
want you to get up tomorrow and
get the breakfast, and when your
mother comes and begins to ox-
press hor surprise go right up to
her and kiss her. You can’t im
agine how it will brighten her
j dear face. Besides yon owe her a
; kiss or two. Away back when you
were a little girl she kissed you
when no one else was tempted by
your fever-tainted breath and
swollen face. You were not so
attractive then as you are now.
And through those years of child
ish sunshine and shadow she was
always ready to cure by the moth

“I was a/Tile ted with heart trouble for
three years. ( would be apparently alt
right, and without a moment's warning
would fall as though shot. The attacks
were frequent, and a terrible dread pos
sessed me, as I never knew when or
where, nor under what conditions I
would be attacked, and whether I would
survive them. I consulted and was
treated by some of the most eminent
physicians of the state. Not finding re
lief from this source, I began taking
Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure, and began
to Improve at once. I used ten bottles,
which entirely cured me, os I have not
had an attack for five years.”—MRS.
