For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
This Frantic Rush for Gold.

OLD FLORIDA TIMES COMPARED WITH
THOSE OF TO DAY-wE LIVED AT HOME
THEN!
Just at this time the world seems to be
on boom away down in South Florida;
that constant and everlasting rush and
bluster is getting the same hold on the
people that it has elsewhere; that uni
versal craze after the almighty dollar
is as prevalent there as in other places.
We seem to have outlived the day of
small things thereby perverCing the true
design of our creation and trying to live
too fast for our age or our pocketbooks.
How few Of us in this age by having
food and raiment learn Herewith to be
content, being surrounded as we are by
this universal push, rush, and hustle in
towns and counties until our excited
condition runs into a morbid craze for
something we have not and would fail to
make us content If we did. What q

is known that when amines or amides,
or similar substances come in contact
with nltrites, decomposition occurs in
which nitrogen gas is set free, and as
these substances are found in the soil
and 10 the places where large quantities
of organic matter are decompOsing and
subjected to the action of the air, it is
natural to suppose that much com bined
nitrogen may be lost to agriculture in
that way. The extent Of that source of
loss is far from being established, but it
is one of the ways in which a great loss
of nitrogen may occur.
Apart from the sources of loss referred
to as certain or as probable there has to
be taken into account the great loss to
the land of combined nitrogen in the
constant washing out of the nitrates
from the soil by rain, which carries
them down the river ocourses into the
sea. The thorough drainage which
forms SO important part of modern
agriculture assists greatly in increasing
this source of loss Nitrates and am
mona salts are found in almost all river
waters, and unless there were operating
some means by which the com bined nj
trogen lost to the land were recouped, 1T
is evident that vegetation must become
more and more deprived of one lmpor-
tant element of it's fertility.
General considerations such as these,
supported by expe. mental evidence Of
perfectly satisfactory kind, in great
many cases made sit evident that by
many known and also presumably by
many unknown ways the amount of
combined nitrogen on the globe must
be annually suffering serious diminu-
ton unless there were some converse
compensation processes at work.-Dr

pity it is that we cannot stop long
enough to ponder over our excited con-
dition in order to regulate our misguided
steps and change our disordered policies
quit chasing the bubbles that float on
the water or the mote that frcl lies in the
sunbeams.
Now | mean this as pre- Jude 10 what
l wish to say direct ting the same to my
brother tillers of the soil in South Flor
ida.
All of the old settlers of South Flor
ida know how we'll we lived, what
quantity of home grown produce, what
a variety, how happy and contented we
lived, in what way and how much we
enjoyed lite no longer than IS years ago;
pause here to ask them if it is so now;
if it is not, why is it not? All seem to
have as much if not more push and
energy now as in former days, our lands
are as fertile; the productions as varied
and the yield as great, yet there is as
1itTle money in our hands now as then,
we are more restless and dissatisfied and
life hardly seems worth living to many.
The day OF small things is past We
have lost sight of the true designs of
our creation-;orgoJten our obligations
to ourselves, to our neighbor and our
duty to God. 1t is needless to under
take to disguise the stern truths that
confront us. We are not as contented,
as happy or as prosperous as we unce
were. Where is the fault and where is
the remedy? 1t is at our own doors, God
has wonderfully blessed us as a people,
We stand to-day as people with many
peculiar advantages, far superior to
thousands of our worthy countrymen,
and yet withal here we are querulous
and murmuring people.
Come and let us reason together.
Thirty years ago there was not railroad
nearer to many of us than $50 miles;
then it was that we planted and we har-
vested, not with view Of SHIPPING it
abroad but to consume at home and to
growing to ship was almost unknown
and seldom thought of, we arranged to
get along without that: our object then
was to make what corn and all other
products required for home use; with
the result that our cribs were full of corn
barns full of corn fodder crab grass hay,
peavine forage, our potato house six feet
deep in potatoes, with sugar, syrup and
molasses to supply us for year. Our
smokehouse hanging with great sides of
bacon and sausage. Our dairy loaded
with great jars of nice butter and milk.
Around our yard and barns roamed
poultry in abundance, with little sur
plus of almost everything to sell to any
who might wish to buy. Many of the
stock men did not farm much if any,
and the usual per cent of inhabitants
that belong to any county who did not
farm were ready to pay cash for such as

Vol. XXI, No. 40 Whole No. 8S4,
The Nitrogen-Assimilation Stage.

The MISREPRESENTATION Stage.
In order that plants grown in an arti-
fetal soil may attain the development
and vigor necessary to enable them to
assimilate free nitrogen thew must, &C.
cordlng to Vile, be provided with a
certain amount of heterogeneous food in
the soil. Vile. therefore, added to the
soils which he used not only the ordi.
nary mineral matters used by Bous
singault and by Lawes, Gilbert and
Pugh, but he added certain small
amount of nitrate of soda-viz. the
amount which he considered sufficient
to sustain the plant till it had attained
that degree of development and vigor
required to give it the power to assim-
llate free nitrogen. What that amount
was depended on circumstances but he
showed that there was certain mini
mum required, and he pointed out that
there was also certain maximum, not
much exceeding the minimum, that
must not be overstepped. If the amount
Of nitre did not reach the minimum the
plant never grew to proportions capable
Of enabling it to untllize free nitrogen.
If the maximum was overstepped, the
plant found in the nitre of the soil sutfi-
clent nitrogen for it's needs, and it did
not require to absorb atmospheric nitro
gen. Evidently the plant found it
easier to assimilate nitre than to assim-
llate the free nitrogen of the air, and, as
Vile, says in the preface to the second
edition of his published researches.
when living creature find in the
sphere of it's activity certain products
which are equally capable of supplying
It's wants, and of Which some are more
easily assimilated than othe RS, it begins
by absorbing those whose assimilation is
easiest" He therefore took care in sup
plying nitrogen to his plants in the form
of nltre, to give them just sufficient to
tide them over the precarious part of
their lives, and to leave them when the
the seed was used up, still with vigor
enough to extract their further supply
from the free nitrogen of the air.
have referred to some length to Ville's
experiments, conducted upwards Of forty
years ago and republished by the author
about thirty years ago, because, al
though they were generally dlscredited
at the time, and their results were at va
rance with those of other more distin-
guished experimenters, they will be
found, as l shall show hereafter, to be a
remarkable anticipation of the most re-
cent discoveries regarding the relation
of plants to atmospheric nitrogen. A
few years ago no fact in the physiology
of plant life was more universally &C.
cepted than the entire inability of plants
to assimilate any particle of the great
ocean of nitrogen in which they are
growing, and now 1 should think there

is no one who has kept himself informed
of recent research in that direction that
doubts that some plants, at least, possess
that power.
Although Ville's experiments failed to
convince almost anybody, there never
theless was suspicion in the minds o!
chemists that there would be found
some way by which the free nitrogen
of the air became available to plants, if
not directly, then indirectly A general
review of the fate of nitrogen on the
surface of the globe led inevitably to
the belief that there must be some very
universally distributed means of forcing
free nitrogen in mbination in order
that what has been called the "balance
of nitrogen" might be maintained, for
a more careful study of the decomposi-
tions of nitrogenous com pounds had
made il more and more evident that
much of the com bined nitrogen of the
world was constantly being set free.
When animal or vegetable substances
are burned, or when they putrefy or
decay, a certain amount Of their nitrog-
enous matter is permitted to escape
into the air as free nitrogen. 1t is not,
as was supposed by Liebig, the inevi-
table fate of the organic nitrogenous
matter of the world to become converted
into ammonia, and so to be Immediately
ready for assimilation by plants into
their various nitrogenous compounds.
AS far back as 1856 1t was shown by
Reiset that putrefying animal matter
when enclosed in glass vessels gave up
nitrogen, so that the air in the vessels
contained from 1.2 to IA per cent more
nitrogen than did atmospheric air.
Vile found that on lgniting sand in
which seeds of lupine were buried,
seeds escaped as nitrogen gas. Schools
ing, in 1873 found that nitrates when
kept in soil, and in an atmosphere con-
tanning no oxygen, were reduced and
gave up part of their nitrogen in the
free state. Similarly Gayon, and Du-
petit, IN 1882 found that the nltrates
when brought in contact with diluted
urine were reduced in the absence Of
oxygen and became partially converted
into nitrogen, while simultaneously there
was found remarkable growth of mi
cro-organisms. Deherain and Mac.
quenne in the same year noticed SINH
lar reduction when nitrates were mixed
with rich soil in humus, and in 1886
Tacke described experiments in which
he found that in the slimentary canal
of animals lamentations occurred which
produced the same results, while Frank
in 1884, found that soils rich in humus
and to which nitrates had been added
lost nitrogen to the extent Of from to
IL per cent of their total nitrogen, which
escaped in the free state when ventila-
ton was restricted.

A MAN LOST IN THE CANYON

PASADENA, April s.-A lot of en-
ployees of the Troy laundry, of Los An
geles, and others, numbering some eight
or ten people OF both sexes, went on a
picnic yesterday to Eaton canyon. They
went up the canyon as far as the falls,
where they were merry-making and en-
Joying themselves and did not discover
until late in the afternoon that one of
their number was missing. Jude W. Wal
verton was not to be found, although they
searched for him until evening, and then,
giving up the search for the time being,
returned home to Los Angeles.
2The manager of the laundry, J. H.
keifer, came out from Los Anseles this
morning with several of the picnickers,
and accompanied by the Griswold broth
ers and Clyde Barnhart who are familiar
with this part Of the Sierra Madre range,
started out to make thorough search
for the missing man.
Word was received from them at
O'Clock this afternoon, stating that they
had found no trace of him yet.

house at 1880, bringing the information
that they had traced the footsteps of the
missing man to the brink of a precipice
200 feet high, where he undoubtedly fell
over.
This is in branch of Eaton's Canyon,
well up toward the head. A pack of
hounds assisted materially in tracing the
unfortunate man S footsteps. His body can
not be recovered until morning. Detect

PASADENA, April 8. = What may
turn out to be source of great wealth to
this section of country was discovered on
Saturday afternoon by workmen tunnel
ing for water on the property of J. D..
Green at La Canada, about six miles
northwest of Pasadena. 1t was nothing
less than vein of natural gas, and it
was so st ong that the workmen were
obliged to quit work.
Upon further investigation with a
lighted candle the question was settled
when a slight explosion took place. and
now of course bob up serenely'' the
usual stories of those who "always
thought SO, and it is claimed that some
four years ago, when men were tunneling
for water in that vicinity they were una
BILE to work more than few hours at a
time, owing to something making them
i'll, now determined to be the natural gas
that is supposed to be all through the
hills in that neighborhood.
The extent of the find will soon be
known, as experts have been sent for to
develop it.
