Relation of Nitrogen to Vegetation.

Deherain has been conducting GER
tain experiments upon the influence
Of the nitrogen of the atmosphere on
vegetation, and arrives at these con
clusions: First, that in the course OF
the slow combustion of organic mat
ter, the nitrogen of the atmosphere
enters into combination, probably to
form nitric acid, which, in contact
with an excess of carbonized matter,
is reduced and then gives up nitro
gen to the organic matter second,
that every plant which throws off re.
fuse matter upon the soil which eus-
tains il, furnishes the occasion Of a
greater or less ixation of nitrogen
This reaction, continued for many
years, ultimately produces the ac-
emulation, in soiis left to them
selves, of quantity of nitrogen SUI
ticient to maintain large crop oil
cereals; third, it is not only by the
slight percentage Of nitrogen which
it contains that dung exercises an
action upon vegetation, but, in addi-
ton, by the carbon matter in decom-
position, which constitutes its entire
mass. Buried under the soil, aud
exposed by the process ofcultivation
to the influence of the air, This or
ganic matter becomes burned, giving
rise to notable quantities of carbonic
acid, and its combustion determines
the union Of elements of the air, with
the nitrogen Of the dung, and with
the nitrogen which, previously float
ing in the atmosphere, is henceforth
drawn into the series of metamor.
phoses which lead from the soil to
the plant and from the plant to the
animal

ceremonies under the direction of the
national authorities. A committee
was appointed and the preliminary
work for this department Of the cele-

let US invite all nations to bring their
products and see what America and

thus be brought together The
achievements of our industrial classes
are cause of just pride. Their well
being and continued prosperity are
subjects Of the deepest concern. Such
an exhibition would be a means of

Murrain in Cattle.


The subject of Murrain in cattle
has of late years received good deal
of attention, and little by little we are
acquiring more definite ideas in re.
gard to this disease, as well as to it's
influence upon the healthfulness of
the milk and flesh of the animal
The experiments of Chauveau have
shown that Tuberculosis of cattle is
transmissible that is TO say, by
bringing sound cattle into communi-
cation with those that are deceased,
similar tubercles become developed
in the former, or, in other words,
they become afflicted with murran,
which is only another name for tn.
berculosis.
The Investigations of Professor
Klebs, in Berne. have shown still
further that the transmissibility Of
the decoase is not limited to cat
tie, but may also extend to other ami
mails indeed he bas been convinced
that tho human tuberoles are equally
transmissible with those Of cattle,
and that murrain in cattle owes its
origin to the same infectious mate
rial as the human tuberculosis
Thus, certain Guinea pigs having
been fed with the murrainous matter
were infected with it, and others,
treated with the tuberculous matte.
from man, exhibited the same result.
Again, murrain has been produced
in cattle from feeding or inocculat-
ing with the human tuberculous mat
ter, and hence it follows that the tu-
berculosis is transferable nom cattle
to man, and it appears highly i'm
pOrtant that murrainous animals
should be carefully watched, and
that inspection of their meat should
DO very strictly attended to.
Professor Gerlach, of Hanover, has
lately prosecuted additional expert
ments upon murrain, and has estab-
llshed not only its transmissibility
by incubation, but also has shown,
by numerous experiments, that tu-
bercuosis can be transferred by feed
Win lbC ulllA Vi CdL-
tie. AS conclusions from the facts
ascertained by him, Professor Ger
ZACH remarks that, up to this time,
murrain has been looked upon, in a
sanitary aspect, as an innocent dis
ease, but that it must hereafter be
considered as quite the contrary
In former times, or toward the end
of the last century, the murrain of
cattle was considered as kind Of
veueIial disease, and while his view
lasted great caution was observed in
regard 10 the flesh and she milk
since it has been ascertained, how
ever, that this is not syphiiitic con-
dilion, the meat has been considered
as wholesome. This is now known
to be an entirely erroneous assump-
ton, and the greatest possible care
should be taken to avoid using the
meat or the milk in any way.

Beecher on Dying.

In his prayer meeting, recently,
Mr.. Beecher said he did not think it
an evidence Of special Christian grace
TO be willing to die II is better to
be willing to live, and do the duties
of life. When Paul said it was bet
ter to be willing to depart. be was an
old man in prison. If an October
pippin is ready to drop, is that any
reason that little green apple in
June should be ready? 1t is the du-
ty of green apples to get ripe. All
the presentations in the New Tes-
lament about death are full of cheer
and hope For Paul to die, was to
go to Christ.
Dying is not getting short of
breath or feeble Of pulse; it is flying
up to the All loving soul of the uni
verse. 1t is going to sweet compan-
ionship. We struggle on through
the world, finding little companion
ship, but We &c to the spirits Of men
made perfect. We 90 where all tho
conditions lift "a to realm Of nobil-
ity. There is all concord. There is
no seltishness, no hardness, crude
ness, and rudeness aud revenge, all
are working mp with ono sweet inn
pulse, with the great, genial creative
force Of divine love. Those thoughts
ring in my soul like the bells Of a
far off city drawing me thitherward
Dying is the easiest thing men do
The suffering is in life, bat as q rule,
men die as easy as door turns on
it's hinges. Dying is going homo,
not to supinesss, not to oriental luxu-
ury, but to supreme activity where
every part is developed and cultured
in Il realm of love. Bless God for
the privilege ofdyingl Ny brother
Charles, who was always in a dying
mood, once Congratulated my father
upon the fact that he could not live
much longer
"Umph" said the old man, ~ don't
thank any OF my boys to talk to me
in that way. | don't want to die
If | had my choice, and it was right
to choose, | would fight it all ever"
Father was a war-horse and after he
was turned out to pasture, whenever
he heard the sound Of the trumpet
he wanted the saddle and bride.

New Variety Of Cucumber.

In Land and Water" we have a
figure and description of what is call
ed the new white-spine cucumber.
This, when raised on trellis, grows
to an enormous size, one vine having
three specimens, each of them three
feet in length. besides many others
over two feet long. The flesh is said
to be very solid, with but few seeds,
and the flavor very fine. This meth
cd Of growing cucumbers is recom~
mended as furnishing much superb
or result to that of allowing them to
trail on the ground, as they thus
grow finer straighter, and with
larger yield. This new cucumber
has the skin perfectly smooth. 1t is
very short in the neck, and it is con-
sidered a decided gain to tho re-
sources of the vegetable gardener.

Influence of food onPoultry and Eggs

The influence of the food of poultry
upon the quality and flavor of their
flesh and eggs has not generally been
taken into consideration but it is
now well aseertained that great care
should be exercised in regard TO this
matter. In some instances it has
been attempted to feed poultry on a
large scale 10 France on horse flesh.
and, although they devour this sub
stance very greedily,it has been found
to give them very unpleasant SAVIOR
The best fattening material tor chick
ems is said TO be Indian corn-meal and
milk and certain large poultry es-
adjustments in France use this en-
tirely, to the advantage both of the
flesh and of the eggs.
