The Importance of Nitrogen in Vegetation

The Importance of Nitrogen in Vegetation.
Philadelphia Record
Scientists have long diligently worked
over the problem of the fixation of nitro
gen, which ito make plain to those who
may not have given the subject considera-
tion) means the procurement or utilization
of the free nitrogen of the atmosphere as
food for plants. The air is composed of
about four-fifths nitrogen, which is in a
free or uncombined condition. If it could
DO cheaply combined with some other ele-
ment it would provide all that the farmer
could wish of that character. but as it
seems to avoid combinations the free nitro
gen of the atmosphere is yet beyond the
utilization of agric9lturists except SO far
as the plants are able to appropriate it.
The object on the part of scientists is to de-
,termine if plants hav the capacity to APP
propriate free nitrogen directly from the
air.
Lawes. Gilbert. Berthelot. Wilforth and
Hellriegel have made experiments extend
ing over a period of many years.. but they
have failed to discover any evidence show
ing that the free nitrogen enters directly
into the combination of any class OF plants.
Berthelot found that free nitrogen was
brought into combination by argillaceous
soils when exposed in their natural condi-
ton, and that there was fixation, due to
living organisms. These gains of nitrogen
explain how argillaceOus soils eventually
become vegetable molds, and other expert
q IA 0AS s.oN
heterogeneous play an important part In
such processes of combination; that cleo
trical discharges in the atmosphere at GER
tain temperatures effected the result, and
that when the air is charged with electric
ity organic matter absorbed nitrogen and
oxygen and effected combination; but re-
suits were not favorable to the suppOsition
that the plants themselves effected fixatiOn.
That combinations occur under bic
conditions are supported by the gain of nj
trogen in the soil, evidences pointing to
two actions in the soil, one liberating nitro
gen and the other bringing it into eOmblna-
ton. There are several combinations to
be considered. and their sources do not de-
pend IN the free nitrogen alone, as they al
ready exist, among them being ammonia
and nitric acid compounds of nitrogen),
and the gain of these substances may be
from the atmosphere, and yet not from
free nitrogen, but it is admitted that GER
tain plants and soils. under certain condi-
tions, may avail themselves of nitrogen
brought into combination under the in
fiuence of lower organisms. The farmer is
interested in the study Of this subject for
the reason that should discovery result in
arriving at the knowledge of the best con-
ditions favorable. and the action of GER
tain plants on the soil. he will be better en-
abled to TAKE advantage of such and in
crease the fertility of the soil by green ma
burial crops.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov, "a.
Trade in the week closing to-day did not
reach expectations. four rainy days and
mild weather doubtless being the chief
cause. In prices there were no fluctuations
of Importance. With the firm tone to the
wool market East. all lines of dry goods
rule firm. In groceries q strong tone TO
prices prevails; especially is this true of
~coffees and sugars. Foreign fruits. as usual
as the holidays draw near, are selling bet
ter at steady. firm prices. In the produce
circles there has been q fair trade for a
couple of days past. Really choice butter
finds good sale. and fresh eggs are in de-
mand at quotations. Poultry rules steady
and is not likely to go any lower. Receipts
are as not as large as a few days ago. and
this has tended to check the temporary
weakness in the market. Choice apples
meet with ready sale. hut common stock
sells slow. The receipts of potatoes are not
so large the last few days. yet prices rule
weak. Oranges. if fine fruit. are in excel
lent demand. but the receipts are largely
green and inferior fruit. The provision
market has been more active for q day or
two. md n shade better prices are n~oticea-
BILE. The seed market is dull; prices weak.
The hide market is active at unchanged
prices. Leather-dealers report trade good.

DAILY, SUNDAY AND WEEKLY.
The Most Complete Newspaper

No newspaper in the West il moro
widely or more favorably known than
the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. By the
display of enterprise and strict attention
to the wants of the reading public, dur
ing the great campaign of 1888, it has
taken a leading position among the most
prominent journals of the country, and
is certainly among the best. Among the
newspapers of the State it is pre-emi-
nently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the
way of State and local news. 1t circu-
lates largely in every county in Indiana,
and has correspondents in every town
and village of Importance. Its market
reports are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense
are spared to make them accurate and
absolutely reliable. Its the only news

ing all h news furnished by the two
great press associations 1.-THE Western
Associated Press and the United Pressl,
in addition to which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all
the principal cities of the country. 1t
has been, and will in future be, the aim
of the publishers to make the INDiANAP
OILS JOURNAL a perfect and complete
newspaper, deficient in no department
or particular. The paper challenges
comparison with any of its contempt
raries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no In
diana Republican, should be without the
Journal. While it is thoroughly and
soundly Republican in politics. devoted
to the interests of the Republican party,
the JOURNAL will not allow its news to
be cOlored by partisan bias, but will
give the news of the day without fear or
favor.
Owing to the prominence OF Indiana

more completely than ever before. For
this reason, if for no other, no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the
next four years.
In addition to its new features, the
JOURNAL regales its readers with the
productions of some of the best known
literary men and ONE of the day.
Many of the most celebrated magazine
writer's andauthors are contributors to
it's literary columns, making it apaper for

During the past twenty years an immense
amount of matter has been written u
published regarding live stock of all kinds;
much Of 1t was valuable. and without
greatly elevated thereby; but it is also tEle
that there remains a very large per e of
very dense ignorance regarding the most
essential feature of stock husbandry. about
knowing how to select a good animal for q
given purpose. on its individual merits,
and without any reference to its name or
the general characteristics of its breed. If
q 1.-THE of the time which has been devoted
to the discussions of the relative merits of
the different breeds had been devoted to
the discussions OF the relative merits OF
different individuals of the same breed, and
a general diffusion of information concern
ing the markings and characteristics of the
poor and good, we wOnld now besOccupying
q higher plane of knowledge, and our fields
would be occupied by q decidedly higher
grade of stock, 1t Is no longer enough for
q man to know that he has "a horse, cow or
bull of a certain breed; he must know if the
animal he owns possesses In the highest de-
gree those qualities which he expects to
profit by, be it milk or beef, speed OF
strength, wool or mutton.
1t was once the accepted belief that if a
man owned a herd of H0lsteins, Jerseys or
Gnernseys he had a good dairy herd; we
now know that the name or color of his
animals is no evidence whatever of the
quality; performance is the true and only
test, and what the performance will be can
now be determined with astonishing &C
curacy by the form and other external
characteristics. Studying these determin-
ing characteristics, and learning how TO
apply the knowledge obtained, are now alb
sOlute necessities.
Our schools of agriculture, farmers in
s%titutes, and all the forces OF agricultural
education. must make 1t an important part
of their work. No farmer boy should be
allowed to GO home from even a short
course in q college of agriculture without
being able to go into his fathers herd and
able animals in it. either for beef OF butter.
And no man should ever go home from a
farmers institute without having received
some valuable lessons on this most impor-
tant subject.
