In the previous paragraphs the condi-
tions favoring the development and
activity of nitrifying organisms have
been briefly set forth, but the presence
of all these favoring conditions will
prove of no advantage in a soil which is
practically sterilized. In such a case,
however, if few organisms can be sup
piled practically sterilized soil will,
after time, by the natural growth and
and distribution Of nitrifying organisms,
become fully lmpregrnated with the
nirtifying germs. The question natu-
rally arises, is there any artificial way in
which the seeding Of the soil may be &C
tolerated? The answer to this ques-
tion is undoubtedly affirmative. In ex-
periments which have. been con-
Quoted in this department. and of which
notice will be made further on, it
has been fully demonstrated that
different soils differ in the most
marked degree in the mum Der and vital
ity of the nitrifying organisms which
they contain. AS a rule. the richer the
soil or the more highly fertiliZed it has
been and the more fully cult waited, the
greater will be the number Of the organ
isms which it contains and the higher
the degree Of their vitality. 1t is thus
seen that in field that contains all the
elements of fertility, but which by
instance, having previously been a
swamp or marsh deficient in nitrifying
organisms, may be practically sterillzed,
great benefit may be derived by spread
ing over it as evenly as possible little
soil taken from rich garden which has
been kept in excellent cultivation. The
amount of plant food added in such a
soil would not be Of any great import
ance, but the nitrifying organisms thus
distributed would rapidly grow in the
favorable environment in which they
were found and the inert nitrogen Of the
field be thus speedily prepared for the
wants of the growing crop.
The action of stable manure is another
instance of the great benefit which is
derived from manuring a field with
nltrifying organisms. 1t is we'll known
that the nitrifying ferments of decom-
posing stable manure are particularly
numerous and vigorous The produc
tion of ammonia in pile Of stall manure
ls often so rapid as to be distinctly no
ticed by the passer-by from the odol
produced. 1t has long been a matter o
wonder among agronomists to find stall
manure, when scattered over field
producing fertiliZing results far in exces
of what could be expected from tn
quality of plant food contained therein
In the light of the facts set forth above
however, these results are no longer sur
prising. In the distribution Of tn
manure large numbers of particular.
vigorous species of nitrifying organism
are incorporated with the soil, ant
these and their progeny continue to ex
ercise their activity upon the liner
nitrogen of the soil when the more easil.
nitrifiable portions of the stall manur
are exhausted. This result brings t.
the attention of the scientific agronomls
an entirely new factor in the process o
fertilization. Even in the poor soils

ulist and Silver conventions for the
Populists will undoubtedly endorse
him today and the stand taken
for him by the leading Prohibi.
tionists Of the nation makes him
virtually the candidate OF four
parties, all declaring the question OF
finance TO be the one great issue before
the American people demanding atten-
ton in advance OF everything else.
II is an issue more clearly defined than
that OF any campaign since 1864 an
issne forced bY the people aud one in
which the humblest citizen is vi
tally interested-shall America be
governed by Americans; shall Ameri-
can people have financial system Of
their own; shall there be a govern
ment Of the many, for the many, by
She many, or government OF the
few, by the few, for the few
With such an issue can any true and
patriotic American citizen hesitate for
an instant where to stand, with
a leader, the very embodiment Of the
principles upon which the issue is
made, can any hesitate to follow The
great mass Of the American people be-
lieve in the principles herein pro-
claimed and are more or less
identified with the four political
parties thus closely united for one
glorious purpose-the re-enactment OF
the declaration of independence, the
freedom Of all the people from fnan-
cial bondage, the perpetuation OF the
American republic for Americans; and
when the day Of choosing comes with
almost unanimous voice will they
loudly acclaim for the leadership oi

A aENrLEMAN,s cAMPAIaN.

In his Omaha speech Mr. Bryan
planted himself squarely on plat
form of courtesy and honorable dis
cussion. He said;
II you speak in complimentary terms
Of myself | say to you every good
word you say of me | can repeat OF my
opponent, Major Mckinley. II you
tell me that you believe that / honestly
iudorse the principles in the platform
upon which stand, tell you that
believe my opponent indorses the
principles in the platform he stands
upon. and tell you that any man who
charges the American people of
another party with being Anarchist Is
aud disloyal American citizens SLAM
ders the bravest people who have ever
lived
This is the best answer that can be
made to the campaign Of vilfcation,
denunciation, abuse and impugning OF
motives with which the Democratic
candidate has been assailed by the
syn cate organs from the day OF his
nomination.
Mr. Prvsn a not assailed and gives
notice that ne viii not assail either
the character or the motives of his
opponent H. publicly credits Nc
Kinley with personal honesty.

no BEAT DENNIS

Among the most favorably men
toned names for the Democratic nomi-
nation to represent Oklahoma as a
delegate to congress, that OF the Hon.
Horace II. Hagan of Guthrie, seems to
the Herald the most satisfactory and
advisable at this time. possessing all
the necessary requirements, viz: Avail
ability, competency integrity and
statesmanship.
Mr. Hagan stands the peer Of any
candidate heretofore suggested or
spoken Of for this very important posi-
tion.
Should he receive the nomination
we know Of no better selection that
could be made to consolidate the vote
OF the territory for free silver, against
the Hon. Dennis Flynn, who has been
selected by the gold standard Repub-
licans, as their candidate for re-elec-
tion. Orlando Herald.

THE Democratic national platform
declares that silver and gold shall be
the basic or redemption money metals,
aud that they shall be treated upon
an exact equality at the mints Of the
United States. The Republican ma
tional platform declares the reverse %
this, and demands that gold alone
shall be coined free and without limit,
and that it alone shall be the basic or
primary money metal, in which all
other money, whether coin or paper.
or obligations Of the government
shall be redeemed. This, in a nut
shell. is the contention between the
two parties and TO sort Of soph,stry
