The popular view of the relation OF
the blood to human character and con-
duct is marked in many a familiar eX-
preston. We speak of there being
bad blood" between people at enmi-
ty, of "blue blood" as indicating an
cestry, of "black blood" as describing
a treacherous nature, and in many an
other phrase mark our belief that in
the mental, moral and physical man,
''the blood is the life The one basis
of a healthful, happy and useful life
is pure blood With the blood pure,
disease has no permanent lodging
place in the system. For this reason
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery ribs the body of diseases
which have their origin in impurity

tensive trials upon fruits and vegetables
ever inaugurated in this country were
begun. The work was planned by train
ed experts and the three essential plant
food ingredients nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid-were applied in va
rious combinations upon the different
staple fruits and vegetables, with a
view of studying their individual and
combined effects. This work is under
the direction of a supervising board
and a director. The results are report
ed regularly in bulletins and annual re-
ports, which can be had without cost,
by simply writing to the Director of Ex-
detrimental Farms, Southern Pines, N.
C. This work, in time, will exert
most important influence on agricul-
ture and horticulture in this country,
and is we'll worthy of attention.
This ketch is written more with the
idea of awakening, in the minds of the
farmers, the Importance of field expert
put the question to the soil itself and
find out through increased or decreas-
ed yields, whether or not a certain line
of treatment is economical and profita-
BILE. The soil may contain an abund-
ance of plant food and still fail to pro-
duce paying returns. The question
resources of the soil be utilized to the
best advantage and other ques-
tons are important to farmers and
each one should think for himself and
work out the problem to the best adj
vantage. A study of what has already
been done along these lines by the ex-
pertinent stations will put the farmer in
the way of getting at these facts in the
simplest and most effective manner.

Practical Experiments.

tain exactly what his soil needs. Take
any average farm and you will ind
more or less unevenness in the charac-
ter of the soil. One part may contain
remembrance of clay, another OF
sand, and another may be composed
of a mixture of the two. Hence, it is
only natural that different line OF
treatment should be followed for each
of these three classes of soils. But in
order to determine the necessary mode
of treatment, it will be economy on
the part of the farmer to do a little
trial work
In speaking of experimenting, we
have in mind the ascertaining of the
needs of the soil and the crops. SO
far as the application Of manures is
concerned, it has already been found
out by others that we have only to
consider the application of nitrogen
potash and phosphoric acid; therefore,
the farmer, in order to procure the
largest returns with the smallest out
Law, should find out how much of each
of said ingredients is necessary for the
different soils.
Some valuable suggestions along
these lines can be had by reading the
bulletins of experiment stations. In
each state the agricultural experiment
station is expected to devote the bulk
of it's time to the study of the questions
which interest farmers of their part1cu
lar state. Provisions are made to de-
vote more or less attention to all
branches of horticulture and agrlcui
ture, but nevertheless the director is
supposed to map q,
cordance with the needs OF the great
mass of home farmers. For example,
in Louisiana, the sugar industry is one
of paramount Importance, Therefore,
the experiment stations in that state
can accomplish the greatest amour: OF
good among the greatest number OF
farmers by concerning themselves with
Investigations which will lead to the
development and improvements of The
sugar industry. In the states Vhcie
the dairy industry predo,nintes The ex-
pertinent stations should concern them
selves with dairy matters. There is,
however, one question, which i OF uI
versal Importance and that is the q'1es-
ton of feeding tn: plants. No mt
ter what industry NAV be On top IN ny
given state there are always a certain
number of farmers who make their liv-
ing by tilling the soil and selling the
products thereof. Therefore these
men are interested in anything which
will lead to an economical system OF
fertilization.
1t is only natural that the experiment
stations in all states cannot give the
questions of efrtilizlng the attention it
deserves; therefore the farmers must
depend upon themselves to a certain
extent. Fortunately the very import
ance of this question of fertilizing the
soil has led certain influential organiza
tons to take steps to supplement the
work of the experiment stations. We
find, for example, in some states that
the members of the Tobacco Growers
association combine and inaugurate
