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. Chas. W. Davis, N. G. A. C. Mr. J. A. Hale, the famous peach grower of Georgia, Connec ticut and other states, is of the opinion that tens of thousands of the best peach trees in New En gland were killed by the severe cold of a few days ago. Ilis own personal loss on Ins Gonecticut ors chards lie csti nates will he nearly if not quite $25,000. In all prob ability Mr. Hide will extend his operations in Georgia and curtail his operations iu the higher cli mate. It is an extremely rare . 1 Iymn Saved 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 prosecut F. ANTOINETTE ELl>EK. 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 er’s magic kiss the little dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in the first skirmish with Jr it Mondays in April and Octo ber.

The cost of the first census tak cn of the population of the United States was not unite $40,000. cost of the census in 1900 $18,145,489. Tho cost of tho first ceosus per bead of the population was a little over one cent; in 1900 the average cost was raised to 17 cents. The decided increase in the cost is explained by the great extension of the census and of tho details associated with it. The lessa man knows about poli*. rets iu a Your Heart May Be Weak.
