LOST HIS RIGHT LEG.
The Quick Action of Disease Causes
the Great Misfortune.

Mr.. Fowler, a wealthy horssman
of San Jose, Cal, had his right leg
amputated above the knee yesterday
at the Queens Hospital. Dr. G. b.
Wood performed the operation. The

He was removed from his residence
at the foot OF Punchbowl street to
the hospital. The silmsnt was
found to be gangrene. Mortifica-
ton set in and it was decided to
amputate the leg.

Nitrogen Is the most valuable ele-
meut OF fertility In soil, Is the most
abundant one In nature and Is about
the hardest one to get Ia a form
available for plant food The air
we breathe Is about four-flfths nitro
gen, the other fifth being oxygen.
In breathing we use the oxygen and
dis, ard the nitrogen. Pure oxygen
would be too st Ong, and we should
be killed by breathing 1t, and nitro.
gen has been regarded as merely q
diluting material. All attempts to
secure this nitrogen from the air In a
shape in which it would be available
for plant food have failed, but IT has
been discovered within q few years
that the leguminous plants cl0vcrs
reas bears. vetches, etc, can grow
without being supplied with nitrogen
II supplied with phosphorlc acid and
potash. 1t is now believed that the
plants get their supply of atmos-
pheric nitrogen through the agency
Of bacteria or mic robes, very low
forms of life, certain varieties OF
which are found where leguniinous
plants have been grown, Whsther
this be true or not, it is certaihtthat
crops of any of the Ieguminous, plant s
plowed under when Ia full bloomIwill
fertilize the soil and enable,it to,pro-
duce good crops sooner and cheaper
than any known agency.
For this reason Those who own
farms which are at.all sterile in the
North should grow clovers, and those
in the South should, grow cow peas.
The study OF farm chemistry Is very
interesting one, and we hope to in
terest our readers ia it in a series u
articles concerning the myst ,ries OF
