verizes the soil and aerates it in the mauip-
ulation, and then co fiaes a mass Ct air in
Its mid,t for the slower process of absorb
ton and digestion by earth and plants.
Only the practical farmer can tell how
many of my IN steries Of cultivation are
explained by this new knowledge. But
these things are easily accounted for when
1T Is known that plant and soil can
both take nitrogen directly from the atmos-
phere in unlimited supply: ID That spade
husbandry IS much more productive than
blowing: q that land can be enriched by
simply plowilg under its own product; and
(S that summer following, with frequen t
stirring, actually enriches the soil.
One difficulty in the acceptance of this
doctrine of the fxation of the nitrogen by
the soil is to realize the facts we have been
taught as to the weight and composition Of
air and the consequent amount of fertiliz-
ing material actually contained in the at
mo'phere. But when the farmer or the
modest layman interested in tlese vital
subjects takes into consideration that a
cubic yard of air weighs two pounds, and
that three-foruths of this is nitrogen, not
chemically combined, but simply mixed
with oxygen, he may family realize the ex-
haustless stores that scie zee procaims
Then, on the other hand, and further en-
Dhasizing the Importance of this great sub
ject, and, in fact. utilizing it as no other
known method can in farm tillage, the cen
trifugal application becomes ramon It,
Vita it can be actually measured and
weighed the atmosphere nitrogen impris-
oned in the tilth-the practical result of
fixation. 1t may be assumed that in this
method of cultivation the entire body of
air confined is fresh air, and it is thus very
easy to arrive at the quantity, and at the
same time to turn upon the subject the
mercilesS glare Of commercial computa-
tion.
Suppose the filth of cultivated field that
has been torn up and pulverizei by centri-
fugal process to be three inches in depth,
the amount of air imprisoned per acre then
would be 400 cubic yards. or 500 pounds,
Of which 600 pounds is nitrogen. Bringing
this to commercial basis it may Ground
ly stated that 800 worth OF fertilizer per
acre is applied in the mere act of tillage-
that is, that nature gives up this amount
freely under the improved methods WHAT
agriculturist in the land who can gainsay
this fact, and VINO will not be fairly dumb
founded at facing it! 1t is, indeed, a new
agriculture that this year mas developed,
and that this century'5 end will witness ap-
piled. Compute, if possible, the actual
commercial value in the increase of cropsl
OF course it is not entirely possible to
accurately determine what portion of this
nitrogen is absorbed and digested; but the
fact is enough to account for the remarka-
BILE fertility reported Ten times the
amount of natural fertilizer needed for
crop is supplied, and there is wide margin
for waste diversion to the permanent
betterment of the soil. The whole subject
Is replete with interest, and volumes may
yet be written GA the new agriculture now
unknown to literature.

Not for a minute should smoking be al

use tobacco in the butter-room is not fi5
man to employ, and the sooner you learn
this the better it will be for you. No
creamery will be successful unless it is kept
clean, and those that are interested in the
success of the creamery should bear this in
mind.
The strongest wood in the United States,
according to Professor Sargent, is tha5 of
the nutmeg hickory of the Arkansas region,
and the weakest is the West / dian birch.
| The most elastic is the tamarack, the white
or shellbark hickory ranking far below it.
| The wood having the highest specific gravity
is the blue wood of Texas
1t is neither electricity nor thunder, nor
| yet heat that sours milk But the condi-
tions during time of thunder storms are

and these change the milk sugar to Tactic
acid, which causes the milk to sour. This
IS according to the latest light thrown on
the subject.
Chicken feathers, if properly treated,
will make pillows which are almost as

The cattle, horse, sheep, and swine
raisers are unanimous in the assertion that
warmth is one Of the essentials to success
full stock raising in winter. The same is
equally true 18th poultry; il fact, it is one
of the branches Of stock raising. and their
comfort should be looked after and guarded
as carefully as that of the larger aud more

Pumpkins contain II per cent. of solid
matter. They are excellent for cows that
are changed from pasture to dry food.
Many dairy men advise that the seeds be
removed, as they act on the kidneys
Pumpkins should be sliced and a little
bran, slightly salted, sprinkled over the
pieces.
Experiments show that any portion of
the seed from an ear of corn may be used
for planting. aud that there is no advan-
tage possessed by the butt seed over the tip
seed, nor is the middle seed better than
that from the butts or tips.

The electric current has recently been en-
ployed in welding metals and tempering
steel springs. An American electrician has
also devised method of expanding hoops
and wheel tires by heating them with the
current. 1t is claimed for the new process
that the heat IS more uniformly distributed
than with gas furnaces or piles Of embers
The current is brought by wires connected
to opposite points on the tire, and divides
equally through each half Of tae ring.

Romance of Real Life.
From the Detroit News.

FROM the Detroit NEWS.
Among the graduates of the Universe
ty of Pennsylvania at the commence
ment exercises, which were held last
Friday, was one student whose career
reads more like a chapter from roman
tic novel than a history of actual expe
rience. DIR. E. A. White, the negro
alumnus of the class of 1890, was born in
Clinton, Miss During the lawless rule
of the Ku-klux in 1875 his fathers house
was entered one night and young White
bound hand and foot. His father was
dragged out before his eyes and shot,
and with his mother and six children he
fled to the woods, where for weeks he
hid in the swamps, only coming out
at night for food, which was supplied
by the colored women of the neighbor-
hood.
When the troubles had blown over
White attended the public school at
Jackson, and by working outside of
school hours and at night saved up
enough money to reach the Lincoln Uni
versity. Accompanied by friend he
journeyed north, and, by walking most
of the way, finally succeeded In reach
ing the place of his destination "Mis-
sissippi White, who walked to Lincoln,
was name well known among the stu
dents of the college for many terms.
After graduation at Lincoln young
White journeyed to Media, Pa, where
he was gladly received by the Society of
Friends and befriended, especially by
the late Mrs. Shortlidge, wife of the
principal of the Media Academy, who
took an earnest and kindly interest in
his progress. From Media White en-
tered the medical school of the Universe
ty of Pennsylvania, from which institu
ton he was graduated last week, no
longer the poor outcast slave child, but
an honored member of the profession of
medicine. He has returned home to
practice among the fellow negroes his
Mississippi and has brilliant future
already assured him.

they are impatient and quick tempered
But while the poor sheep, restrained in
it's freedom, has no more sense than to
kick and founder and try to regain its

take rough handling and cuffs as SO
much more abuse against which it
ought to struggle and seek to free itself.
But there is difference in sheep as
well as in shearers. Some will remain
very patient and quiet, as if they under

able, and feel bound to kick and resist

READING FOR THE FARMERS.
The Swallows.

HE SWALLOWS.
O, mother, will the swallows never come?
Feel my cheek, It's hot and burning,
And my heart is sick with warming,
But I'm always well as soon as swallows come.
They brought me in primrose Yesterday
And when pTi1nrOseS are blowing.
Then | know that winters going,
And the swallows cannot then be far away
Hark, my old thrush in the garden singing
clear!
How love his note to follow
But the swallow; O. the swallow
Bringing summer with him, summer is more
dear
And the lambs bleat Could l see them once
again,
With their innocent, sweet faces
And their triSkingS, and their races!
Once used-but low / cannot stir for pain.
Mother, lift me, all this side is growing numb
oh, how dark the room is Fold me
To your BOSOM tighter hold me
Or shall be gone before the swallows come.
And the swallows came again across the Wave
And the sky was soft and tender
With CLEAN of rainbow splendor,
AS they laid their little darling in the grave.
And they often watch the swallows by her tomb
And they strain to think but straining
Cannot still the hearts complaining,
"She is better there where swallows never
come.
And they carved the bird she loved upon her
stone;
JOYOUS guest of summer, darting
Hither, thither, then departing
In a night, to joys of other worlds unknown.

A Curious Pair of Condolences.
From the st. Louis Republic,


Capt. A. E. Anderson, of the Hudson
River steamer Mary Powell, tells of two
odd condolences which he ran against
one day last summer. His steamer was
lying at the foot of Vestry Street, Pough-
keepsie, when a man boarded her and
said to the captain: 81 have lost my
trunk. [ don't know whether it was
taken off this boat or not" "What is
your name?' asked Capt. Anderson
quite naturally "a. E. Anderson"
was the reply: My initials and sur
name exactly" returned the captain.
'My full name is Ambrose Ettinge
Anderson said the stranger, almost
dumbfounded to find the captain S name
the same, letter for letter. The same
afternoon the captain was treated to an
other surprise. An elderly lady board
ed the Mary Powell at Newburg, re-
marking to the captain, as she handed
in her ticket, that her name was Mary
Powell, and that she lived in Philadel-
phia This was too much for Anderson,
who related to the lady the coincidence
of the morning, whereupon the two
spent a full hour discussing coinci-
dences. strange and otherwise.

The Troublesome Little Jocks.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


The trouble with the jockeys has be-
gun unusually early this year 1t is al
ways difficult for me to understand why
the boys do not behave themselves bet
ter in view of the great opportunity of
fered them by the rapid development of
racing recently. An ignorant stable boy,
if he has any knowledge of horse, can
make more money than the majority of
college-bred professional men. If the
lad has any special degree of skill in rid
ing he can run his income up to 700
or $780, 900 year. The trouble is that
the first success as a rule turns the boys
head so that he needs the closest sort Of
watching and espionage from that time
on. The jockey who attracts attention
by reason of his clever riding is as sure
of an approach from the bookmakers'
satellites as he is of an offer of superior
mounts. The corruption Of the jockey
is often counted in as one of the glori
Gus uncertainties of racing. The boys
do not go at their work seriously.
Probably they make their money too
easily. The amount of hero worship to
which they are subjected at times is
amusing. The spectacle of a little negro
jockey, with very big cigar in his
mouth, a profusion of diamonds scat
tered over his somewhat meager person,
strolling about, while groups of over
dressed and worshipful sporting men
surround him, is a common one in

Latter-Day Prophets.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the P1ttSburg Dispatch.
There was no earthquake at San Fran
cisco on April IA, the date set by the de-
lectable 'FDoomsealers' of the Pacific
coast for that catastrophe. San Francis
co. Oakland, Milwaukee, Chicago, all
four doomed to destruction, are still
standing intact The lunatics or mis-
chievous charlatans who took unto them
selves the authority to prophesy have
not explained why the earthquakes and
other advertised horrors did not arrive
on time. Probably they will arrange a
new schedule. Their dupes, who are
hundreds in number, will swallow new
tales, and "doom-sealing stands fair to
become one of the most profitable in
dustries of California. Prophecy pays
under modern conditions, which in
cludes a collection plate.
Prophets in this part of the world are
not SO pernicious a nuisance. Their
prophetic vision rarely exceeds the
weather for tomorrow or the day
after that. In a modest way they com
pete with the United States prophets.
They may not show more knowledge of
the weather to come than the Signal
Service men, but then they never show
less. The public here takes weather
prophecy calmly and disinterestedly
The day has passed for comparisons OF
predictions and results 1t is doubtful
if "doom-sealer" fresh from the Paci-
fic could awake Pittsburgers to warm
interest in the weather bulletins. A
few old prophets used to be found in
the woods near here when natural gas
first came into general use. They fore
told the approaching disappearance of
Pittsburg in a pit of birthstone and other
combustibles. But the gas kept on; so
did Pittsburg at the old stand. The only
ones to so were the prophets. 1t is
not even certain that they have gone.
Perhaps they are only sleeping.
