National German-American Bank build
ing, st. Paul-Strong, Sturgis & Co. wire
US: ut is with pleasure that we note a
continued and healthy gain in the quota
tons for railroad shares and we are
glad to report a steady and legitimate de-
mand for all the middle class issues,
such as Big Four Baltimore & Ohio pre-
ferred, Atchison preferred, etc. Without
question the next speculative field will
regard these stocks as its most desira BILE
plot, and they offer distinct advantages,
as they are favorably regarded as col
lateral, and are in part, at least bread
winners For the present we regard
Steel Hoop as the best of the low
priced industriaIs and we believe that the
course Of this stock will be dictated by
rich and powerful interests. American
Smelter preferred is also finding many
friends, and the earnings are so sat
isfactory that the common is showing a
handsome surplus. AS yet the Industrial
speculation halts and it will continue to
do so for some time to come. Yet there
are many things like the above that to
parties of means offer very satisfactory
prospects"

gume will not work on legume of
another class. When these germs
have once taken up their abode in the
soil, or the soii has been oculated
with them, they remain there for II
length of time; but if the same kind
of plants is occasionally grown on the
land the germs will remainl in the
soil indefinitely. This, NO doubt, is
the whole secret and fundamental
cause of the beneficial results of a
continued rotation of crops.
1t is NOW claimed that other plants
that are not legumes have their nitrl-
fying bacteria, and if the soil is in
oculated with the special germs, it is
said that the yield of crop is much
greater, even when less fertilizer is
used.
But there are other organisms i'll
the soil entirely separate from the nj
trifying bacteria, without which no
plants cam continue to exist. 1t was
the absence of these i'm the muck land,
that was ONE cause of the trouble,
when we first commend cuEtivating
it. The seed after being sown would
terminate and the plants would grow
just so long as they were receiving
nourishment from the seeds, then
linger and die BUT this is now all
changed, and experiments go to show
that with proper treatment of the soil
leguminous plants grow to perfection
on the muck Land, and we predict that
the day is not far distant when large
tracts of this land will be seen grow
ing luxuriant crops of clover.
