NEGOTIATING LAND.
The Principle of incubation in the Do
main of Agriculture.

The Principle of incubation in the Do
main of Agriculture.
Research has demonstrated that the
soil of our fields is literally teeming
with bacteria, which, according to some
recent experiments, may be present to
the extent of 100000 per graInme
1.-THE one-twenty-s part of an ouncc)
of soil; and that these bacteria are
largely instrumental in conducting TO
the successful growth of vegetation by
preparing, in forms suitable for assilni-
lation by the plant, the different food
substances it derives from the soil, says
the Quarterly Review. The latest APP
plication, in the domain of agriculture,
of the great principle of incubation,
IS in many respects of a more striking
nature than anything yet accomplished
by this line of research, and consists Of
the incubation of the soil with pure
cultures of bacteria for the purpose of
promoting plant growth.
incubation of soil with these cul-
lures, on practical scale, may be af-
fected in either of two ways. First, the
seed of the crop it is desired to inocu-
late may be inoculated, before it is
sown. This is effected by making
watery solution of the pure cultivation,
immersing the seed in it. and subse-
quently drying it; or, secondly. it may
be effectedby inoculating quantity of
fine sand or earth in the same way, and
then spreading it over the field and sub
sequently working it into the soil to
depth of about three inches. Natural
ly, point of considerable interest is
the economic question of the cost of
such treatment. 1t is interesting to
learn that this is extremely moderate
as the expense of inoculating a field in
this way amounts to the very moderate
sum of five shillings per acre. This can
not be regarded as expensive, and con-
trasts favorably with the expense OF
heterogeneous fertilizers.

ART IN AGRICULTURE.
1t Is Coming to Be Quite an Important
Elevating Factor

1t Is Coming to BE Quite an Important
Elevating Factor.
Art in agriculture is coming to be
more and more noticeable every day.
With the advent of new methods, i'm
proved implements and wider knowl
edge of the field, the agriculturist is
rising higher in the field of useful or
ornamental art as the years go by. We
may say that sharp competition is no
small factor in this progressive move
ment, says the agricultural student.
Take, for example, the manner in which
certain products are prepared for the
open market. The improvement in the
condition of certain dairy products and
fruit on market in the last few years
is truly wonderful. The reason, OF
course, is that people always buy that
article which is put up in the most
tasteful and attractive style, and are
willing to pay little more for it. With
this change comes a more wholesome
effect upon the article itself, and dis
ease is much less disseminated through
food at the present time than formerly
Greater precautions ire taken now
than ever before in preventing the
spread of contagious diseases in this
manner, and with the increase in the
size of the cities and the greater liabil-
ity to ill-health, these precautions can
not be observed too carefully. Thus
the agriculturist. 10 be successful, must
keep right up to date in his readings
and methods.-Mirror and Farmer

Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not looked
upon as a patent medicine, but rather as a
prescription. An analysis of their properties
shows that they contain, in a condensed form,
all the elcmeuIs necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They ale an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial pa
ralysis, st. Nitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects
of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow compilations, and the tired feeling re-
sulting from nervous prostration all diseases
resulting from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They
are also a specific for troubles peculiar TO
females, such as suppresSions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They build upthe
blood and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallow cheeks. They are for sale by all
druggists, or may be had by mail from DIR.

Practical Inhdelity.

In religious life the theoretical in
fidelity of such men as Ingersoll is
damaging Christianity much less than
the practical infidelity Of church mem
bers who utterly neglect TO pay their
vows unto the Lord. Their life is de-
structive of faith and desire in those
who are outside the church. In its
effects upon the person himself, negli-
gence is the beginning Of very marked
decline, progressing from it to real in
5olence, then to state of helpless apa-
thy, ending in the despair Of physical,
mental and spiritual death.-Rev. DIR
