Inoculntinx Soil with Germ..

DR.. Altman describes some success
full experiments made at the Alabama
experimental station on the inocula-
ton of the soil with nitragin, the new
germ preparation for supplying the
soil with nitrifying organisms for fix
ing the free nitrogen of the atmos-
ph're. Some earth was taken from
lawn which for several years previous
ly had grown luxuriant crops of COM
moi vetch, and which consequently was
ricl. in nitrogen-ixing bacteria, and of
this a solution was made in water. In
this solution the seeds of the hairy
vetca were dipped before sowing.
There were four experimental plats,
and all were cut on the same day and
the produce weighed, with the result
that there was much greater increase
In the .inoculated than in the uninocu-
latsd plat.

HE WAS a coAcHMAN YET.

Once on time there were two men.
Ambitious Dick and thoughtless Ben.
And both drove coaches for boss
And played together pitch and toss.
Around the livery stable they
Spent many rough but happy day;
They laughed at one another's jokes
And on clay pipes had chummy smokes.
At last Dick left and Ben remained,
And after years had waxed and waned
There to the stable came man
To hire handsome coach and span.
Ben was the driver, just the same,
Tough, rough and ready as his name;
The gentleman, well dressed, and proud,
Was eyed with awe by all the crowd.
But something in his face or tone
Appealed to Driver Ben alone;
He'd seen the gentleman before
But where and when? He watched him
more.
Along they rode, Ben thinking who
Could be that stylish gent" he knew;
Then came flash of memory quick
"Why, bless my heart-hes my old Dick. )"
With hand held out and beaming eyes.
Ben turned around in glad surprise;
''Why, Dick! Old chum! This is joy
I'm glad to see you. Shake. old boy!"D
The gentleman Ben coldly eyed:
His kid g.oved hand stayed at his side.
''Why, Dick I'm Ben-Ben Hick. you
know
Your coaching partner long ago."
The passenger seemed not to share
Ben's pleasure at the meeting there;
Excuse me, Mr.. Hick," said he,
but please drive on. You've stopped,
see."
'why, Dick! Don't you remember when
We both were coachmen," answered Ben.
''Yes,' said the man, "but you forget
My friend, that you're coachman yet"
This little tale may show young eyes,
How with ambition men may rise,
But, all the same. we think Ben Hick
Was more a gentleman than Dick.
"A man too proud to condescend
To greet an old but humble friend,
May have some brains beneath his hat
But he's snob for all of that.
