BILE cure
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession as well as TO
thousands of sufferers from piles that it is
the safest and most effectual pile cure ever
offered to the public, containing no opiates
or poisons of any kind painless and con-
venient to handle. and being sold by drug
gists at 50 cents and 81 per box is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes have made
n complete cure of chronic cases that had
not yielded TO other remedies for years.
There is scarcely a disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the va
rious forms of piles, and it is common
! practice TO use ointments. salves, and sim
liar preparations containing dangerous
poisons to remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has superseded all of these Intellectual
remedies and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble will make any mistake in
| giving the Pyramid a trial.

Bacteria and Legumes.

There is much written nowadays in
the agricultural papers in reference
to the great value of legumes as soil
enricher, through the power which
they possess of fixing the free nitro
gen of the air, writes j. NJ. Hassall, in
the Kissimmee Valley Gazette. AL
though this is correct in part, still it
is not always borne out in fact. In
stances can be cited where cowpeas
have been grown on land for several
years, yet the soil has become much
poorer than formerly.
Unless the special nitrifying bacte-

ria are present in the soil, there will
be no addition of nitrogen whatever,
to either the soil or the plants. The
plants alone have no power of taking
up and fixing the free nitrogen of
the air. This has been fully Demon
strated time and again; and we fail
to see why so much credit is given to
the plant for doing that which is dome
solely by the mico-orga nisms in the
soil.
If crop of cOwpeas is growing on
the land, and the special bacteria
which connect themselves to the roots
of those plants are present in the soil,
the nitrogen part Of the air, which
these bacteria consume, is converted
into ammonia. 1t is then taken up by
co-Workers, and eventually formed in
to nitrates, when it is really available

plants in the form of nodules. AS the
bacteria increase in numbers, so do
these nodules becomes larger, and
many more are formed; and the
plants take advantage of the presence
of this food attached to their roots,
and draw upon it as they need it. The
more the plants take the better it is
for the bacteria, for the vines of the
plants are growing more vigorously,
thereby causing the soil to become
more. shaded, moist and of uniform
which is the best condi-
ton for the promotion of nitrifca-

there is as much, if not more, nitrate

three weeks of the pea plants life,
than during it's whole previous
growth; which goes to Show what a

/ In 1898, one of the largest tomato
growers in Lake county SAID lat he
i had lost more fruit by the dropping
of buds than other causes combined.
j Others complained of the same trou-
j, be- Beside the fact that attention has
! been called to this disease while in
the field, numerous letters have been
\ received mourning about the cause OF
this u11ficulty. No section in the State
seems to be exempt from it.
Immediately upon receiving infor-
nation as to the mature and destruc-
tiveness of this disorder, attention
was directed to ascertain the cause.
A large field of tomatoes was planted,
including some twenty-five different
plots. Various operations were per
formed upon different plots of these
tomatoes.
The following brief summary states
\ what has been learned from the work
conducted with them. It would hard
ly be profitable to the tomato grower
to publish the details of the expert
ments. We will, therefore, concern
ourselves mainly with the statement
of the results.
One of the first points discovered
was that during and following cold
weather many of the buds dropped.
This was doubtless due to the partial
arrest of the vegetative functions of
the plant, just as during dry weather
or in transplanting blossoming plants
they are liza BILE to lose their buds. This
is not under our control, however. 1t
may also be due in part to the want
of the pollen to take.
Another very general cause OF the
dropping of the buds has been work
ed out by a number of the ENperl-
ment Stations of the North, especially
Ohio and New York The tomatoes
