Everything reliable that bears on
the question of tho use of the com
mercial fertilizer is,now read with
interest. One of the speakers at a
recent meeting of the Uolumbus,
Ohio, Horticultural Society stated
that artificial fertilizers “seem” to
diminish the bacteria and fungi,
which are the great agents of con
tinued fertility, and that barnyard
manures were comparatively favora
ble to their increase.
Tho article by W. A. Kellerman,
aB published, contains much that is
valuable and important bearing up
on elemental conditions of the soil.
The paragraph relating to “Soil Bac
teria” is somewhat technical in its
terms, and makes use of words prob
ably not familiar to one who has not
been a scientific investigator. It
would be useful to the lay reader if
i the editor of the proceedings would
add a glossary of the unfamiliar
terms, some of which, are not to be
found in ordinary dictionaries.

In spite of this perhaps necessari-
3hni<
ly technical phraseology, we quote
this part of the report and bespeak
it a careful reading. If the fertiliz
ing elements that are actually need
ed are restored and’ no superfluous
ingredients are added, in accordance
with a correct soil diagnosis, it is
not likely that the needed baoteria
and fungi would be eliminated
thereby.
Mr. Kellerman says, under head
of “Soil Bacteria:”
“Becent studies in - the biology of
the Boil have clearly demonstrated
the fact that baoteria and other fun
gi are the great agents of eontinued
fertility of the soil. These micro
organisms 1 2 prepare plant food by de
composing organio matter and other
materials, and certain species fix the
free nitrogen of the air. They are
usually more numerous in cultivated
soils than in woods and untilled
lands; in sphagnous 3 swamps, where
organio acids accumulate, they are
either absent altogether or not abun
dant, their numbers in arable soils
are favored by the use of barnyard
manures, but the use of artificial fer
tilizers seems to diminish them. The
physical character of the soil, large
quantities of organio matter or hu-
mus commingled with the mineral
constituents, the proper amount of
moisture, and the averge tempera
ture are some of the faotors affect
ing the occurrence and development
of these useful organisms. It is in
the upper strata of the soil, rich in
organio matter and oxygen, that
they occur abundantly; in the deep
er and poorer subsoil these aero-
bio 3 organims disappear. Moreover,
mioroscopic fungi living in symbi
otic 4 relation with the roots of
many, if not most of our species of
plants, are advantageous to them,
perhaps even indispensable to their
welfare. v Agricultural practices and
processes, therefore, favorable to the
organisms flourishing in the soil are
to be classed as agenoies that di
rectly promote the health of the
plants. However important the
physical and chemioal constitution
of the plant in relation to plant de
velopment, modern investigation has
accorded the first place to its bio
logical character. In reBpect to this
phase of the subjeot Marshall Ward
says: ‘The plant will have to run the
gauntlet of a long series of vicissi
tudes brought about by the pres
ence or absence, relative proportion
and vigor, and .specific nature of the
organisms in the soil at the roots,
and it is easy to see that many cases
of disease may be due to the ab
sence of advantageous bacteria or
fungi, or to circumstances which fa
vor their life, as well as to the pre
dominance of competing organ
isms.’ ”

Peace in South Africa.
Atlanta Journal.
Though the war in South Afri
ca is over, there are some difficul
ties in.the way of a settlement.
The Boers and their allies have
realized the folly of further armed
resisteuce. They have made one
of the most marvelous struggles
in history, but the result was a
foregone conclusion from the
first. The wonder is that they
have held out so long. The war
has cost Great Britain about one
billion two hundred million dol
lars and many thousands oi lives.
The British public has long been
sick and tired of the conflict, and
the assurance that it is over caus
es rejoicing throughout the em
pire. An agreement has not been
reached yet, and Great Britain
has so far refused to grant some
terms upon which the Boers in
sist.
The independence of the two
South African republics will,' of
course, be surrendered entirely.
It is understood that the British
government will repair the desola
ted farms in the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State and con
cede a large measure of local au
tonomy, subject to British over
rule.
The main point of difficulty is
as to the indiscriminate pardon
ing of the Cope Colonists who
took the part of the Boers. These
stand on a very different footing
from that of the Transvaalers and
the Free Staters. The latter were
citizens of independent govern
ments, wftile the Cape Colonists
were British subjects,who rebelled
against their government. The
present government of Cape Colo
ny was established in 1853, and
has been maintained ever since,
Fiven if the British cabinet were
willing to grant general amnesty
to the Cape Colonists who took
up arpis in the Boer cause, the
loyal Cape Colonists would pro
test against it vigorously.
It is not probable that penal
ties will be imposed upon any of
the Cape Colony rebels, except a
few of their leaders, but it may
be expected that Great Britain
will insist upon the punishment
of these in some form.
On the whole, however, it
seems that tho vanquished will
receive easier terms than the Brit
ish government was disposed to
insist upon when peace negotia
tions were begun.
There is excellent justification for
the alarm which is leading the re
publican party to make vehement
protestations of loyalty to the peo
ple as against the trusts. Never be
fore, since the evil of monopoly con
solidation became a menace in Amer
ican life, has public sentiment been
so thoroughly aroused to the neces
sity for overcoming that evil. Un
happily, however, for the future of
the republican party, the American
people are equally convinced of the
truth that the republican party is
responsible for the trusts and that it
is absolutely owned and controlled
by tho trusts. No amount of be
lated special pleading will disabuse
the popular mind of this truth. The
republican party must answer to the
people at the polls for its great sin
in creating and fostering trustism.

Burns, cuts and other wounds
often fail to heal properly if neg
lected and become troublesome
sores. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve prevents such consequences.
Even where delay has aggravated
the injury DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve effects a cure. “I had a
running sore on my leg thirty
years,” says H. 0. Hartly, Yan-

remedies, I tried DeWitt’s Witch
Haze! Salve. A few boxes healed
the sore.” Cures all skin diseas

Want Others to Know.
“I have used DeWitt’s Little
Early Risers for constipation and
torpid liver and they are all right,
I am glad to indorse them for I
think when we find a good thing
we ought to let others know it,”
writes Alfred Heinze, Quincy, 111.
