Nitrogen Fixation by Alfalfa.

Leguminous plants because OF their
power to enrich the soil in nitrogen
have been much studied. Much has
been found out about the assimilation
of free nitrogen by plants, and exten-
sive Investigations have been carried
on in order to ascertain what plants
have the power to make use OF free
nitrogen, how it is brought about, and
to what extent it actually is DONE
In the many experiments the legnml-
nous plants have shown the greatest, II
not the exclusive power to gather and
make use of nitrogen which does not
already exist in the soil in the form OF
any known compound. Also, that the
plant does not take the gas directly
from the air to work it into the COM
pick albuminoid bodies, but is brought
about through process which is rather
complex, and it is only through the
activity of certain microbes found IN
the soil, that it is done.
The important fact concerning the
storing up of large quantities OF nitro
gen by certain plants has been known
for some time, but a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION is now generally accepted.
In the moisture and air OF the SOIL
are found numerous microscopic organ
isms of different kinds, and certain ones
probably only one species-fnd in
the roots of the leguminous plants a
medium, or certain conditions which
are favorable to their most active
growth and development. The root
hairs are attacked, the bacteria enter
and take full possession of certain cells,
multiply in them, and SO destroy the
normal healthy condition of these cells.
The characteristic. abnormal growth,
or tubercle, is formed, caused partly
perhaps by the presence of other micro
organisms, besides those which supply
the plant with nitrogen.
This syinbiosis or parasitic action of
these bacteria does not in any way in
terfere with the health and growth of
the plant, but on the other hand, it is
indirectly the cause of increased growth
of the plant, and fertility of the soil;
for in these tubercles or bag-like appen-
dages, large quantities of the most val
liable plant food are manufactured, i'll
that these bacteria multiply and die,
leaving behind heterogeneous substances
for the plant to make use of. These
observations have brought about great
change in the field of agriculture,
and farmers are now everywhere try
ing to employ these minute living
beings for the purpose of increasing in
the soil the most expensive and neces-
sary ingredient of all farm products
the nitrogen.
The intelligent farmer of to-day
selects and grows in his rotation, such
plants as are known to be able to gath
er large quantities of nitrogen from
sources outside the soil and thus by
blowing the crop under as green
manure, or, by making double use of
it. in first feeding it to the cattle, and
then returning the manure to the soil,
he adds to his soil nitrogen in way
much cheaper. and in a form more de-
sirable and lasting than the salts found
in most commercial fertilizers. Amer

Three Bits Of Calico,

Three pieces of the first calico printed
in the United States will be presented to
the Worlds fair commissioners for ex-
hibition through Commodore Bradley,
one of the best known men in northern

Haphazard methods must not prevail
economically. We should feed all the
fat producing food that can be properly
digested and assimilated, but there is
great danger of excess in this direction.
Too much will cause the hogs to be-
come cloged, they will lose their APP
petites, the digestive organs will be
over worked, and general inaction of
the animals functions will ensue. re-
sulting in loss of weight instead of a
gain. and thus defeating the feeders
purpose. OF course, corn is the usual
fattening grain, but it is SO highly car
bonaceous that when fed exclusively,
the difficulties mentioned above are
almost sure to appear. Hogs will eat
and profitably digest more corn if one
fourth of the grain ration is composed
of wheat bran. Roots must not be for
gotten; turnips, beets, potatoes, or car
rots, when mashed or sliced, afford a
most desirable supplement- to a diet of
corn. They are cooling and laxative,
and materially aid and promote diges-
ton. l have no doubt that swine will
fatten much more rapidly aud at less
cost when allowed little bran and a
few roots daily, than when confined to
diet of corn. The season best adapted
to the fattening of animals is the mod
erately cool weather of autumn, avoid
ing the waste necessary in severe
weather caused by the increased guam
tity of food which is required to main
tain the animal heat. American Agri-

From the Catalan of Verdaguerl
Girded sat with garden green
Nigh famed Alhambras fairy towers
That lately held the Hagarene,
But now, my Ferdinand, are ours
Bordering robe seemed to sit
Where bright silvery fountain stirred.
And where branch enshadowed it
marked the tlutter of "a bird
He fitted downward to my feet,
And oped his beak and sang to me.
And soothing was his song and sweet -
AS honey of the rosemary.
Then softly from my dropping hand
He drew the jewel of my heart
Pledge of the troth of ferdinand
And marvel Of Granada's art.
carol blithe in dale and dell,
And fit where'er thy heart is fain,
But to the hand of Isabel -
Restore the jewel thou hast ta'en.
Into the deep of heaven he flies,
And with his fight my heart takes wing.
Flashing thy fires from azure skies,
How brilliant didst thou seem, my rlnel
While land endured, by dell and steep
tracked the feeting, air borne prey,
But sadly sat me down to weep
Where oceans billow barred my way.
And strained my vision where afar
Melted the splendor fugitive.
Like the last glitter of the star
That morn proclaims. nor may outlive.
Far where the western waters surged
The bright thing sank, and out of them.
o miraclel like sylphs emerged
An isle for every vanished gem.
The splendors of my ring returned
In flower and herb and fruit and tree,
Where ruby wed with emerald burned,
Clasped by the sapphire of the sea.
Radiant with blossoms garlanded,
That wondrous bird came winging on,
And brightly had enwreathed my head,
But with my grief my dream was gone.
Sailor, in thee the bird know
That spoiled me first, then nobly crowned;
Gods envoy art thou, sent to show
How hidden Indias may be found.
Take. Colon, take my gold, and change
My gems for galleys stanch and feet.
For bluebells | the wood will range,
And deck my hair with meadow sweet.

juno a month of nj Health.

At this time Of year, and during this
month in particular, the doctors have
their hands full. Not that there is neces-
sarily more sickness in June than during
any other month, but our systems are not
yet quite used to the frequent changes Of
temperature and weather which prevail.
We feel out of sorts, nervous, low spirited.
The appetite is poor, the blood out of
order. Sometimes a tirst-class tonic, such
as Browns Iron Bitters, will promptly
remedy the evil, by purifying and
strengthening the system. Many of the
best physicians prescribes this well-known
remedy, which has been in use for nearly
twenty years. Particularly is it's action
most favora BILE in cases of weak and debil-
tied persons, ladies, children and aged
persons. For such it is highly recon-
mended by the profession. Persons OPP
posed TO taking patent medicines are re-
minded that Browns Iron Bitters is an
old reliable medicine, and is always bene-
fetal in it's action. The nature of its in
gradients insures its being entirely harm
less. After taking one bottle the patient
is generally very much relieyed.-ad.

stronger in cast of characters, and greater
in magnitude than has ever been heard in
this country; embracing galaxy of
artists foremost on the operatic stage.
and an ensem bic equal to the best metro
politan companies.
The Russian diva, Marie Basta Tavary,
has been secured by Mr., Pratt to
be the prima donna of the organization.
A pupil of Nine. Marchesi, her artistic
triumphs have been worthily chronicled
abroad, aud in America she will surely
add fresh laurels TO her crown of fame.
Marie Tavary will be surrounded by a
coterie of leading artists chosen from the
best talent to be found in Europe and
America.
The chorus and orchestra will be strong
and well drilled, composed of young,
fresh voices and leading musicians, under
the direction of Emerico Morreale, the
famous orchestra leader of the Italian
opera in Mexico and Havana, insuring a
most perfect, harmonious and enjoyable
