upon the Fertilizer before it has been
mixed with the soil, there is very great
danger that the germ of the seed will
be destroyed. We have many times
killed the germs of seeds in this way.
But if the fertilizer is applied with the
drill, and mixed with the soil, there is
no danger whatever that the ordinary
application of fertilizer will in any
way injure the seed or plant. Should
fertilizer be applied in extra large
doses. say 500 to 1000 pounds per acre,
and should the season following be
very dry, il is entirely probable that
the plants might be injured by tho
heavy application of fertilizer. The
reason for this is that the plant food
is too concentrated. and there is not
enough moisture present To sufficient
ly dilute it. Nitrogen is especially
caustic in it's action. and for the source

to apply nitrate OF soda to the growing

cucumber vines receiving the nitrate

The Interesting Life Of
Count LEO TOLSTOI
His Work in Russia as Soldier Author and Philosopher
and Teacher -Excom,nunicated by the Church
MOUNT LYOF NIKOLAlNlTCH

'COUNT LYOF NIKOLAIVlTCH
~ TOLSTOI, the famous Russian
writer of religious and social fic-
tion, has been a noted character in
many ways during the past quarter of
a century, and he now seems destined
to end his days outside the fold of the
church of his native land, and stamped
as a hereto.
During the past three months Count
Tolstoi has attracted unusual atten-
ton in all portions OF the civilized
world. For the past few years he has
dropped much of that style of litera-
ture that made his earlier books ia
nous, and has taken to writing SER
mons. in story form, upon the one text:
"Resist Not Evil" His continued
preaching OF doctrine of noninterfer-
ence, and his appeals for an orthodox
religion founded solely on the teach
ings of the life of the Master. has at
last reused the ire of the officials of the
Orthodox Russian, or Greek, church,
and he has been communicated. In
the decree which debars him from all
spiritual privileges of the established
Church of Russia it is stated that his
teachings are not only anti-eccle esias-
tical, but anti-Christian as well. Those
outside Of the teachings of the Russian
church who have read his later works
will scarcely agree with the church
officials In their Interpretation Of
what is anti-Christian.
The decree forbids all bishops and
priests Of the church to officiate in any
way Mt the counts obsequies when he
dies, or to sing masses for the reposc

OF his soul. His burial in consecrated
soil Is also prohibited.
1t is not expected that Count Tolstoi
will resent this action of the church
in any way. In fact, strict interpre-
tation Of the doctrine which he has SO
ardently preached, that Of noninter-
ference, would not permit of his doing
SO. But the effect the action of the
church has had upon the Russian peo-
pie could scarcely have been antici-
pated. Hundreds of admirers of the
count, who, instead of being frightened
into silence by the radical measures
taken by the church, have boldly asked
that they might share like fate. and
be relieved of any obligations to the
church.
Count t'olstoi has long been thorn
in the side of the Russian aristocracy.
What they class as his eccentricitieS
would long ago have landed him in Sc
rious difficulties had he not himself
been OF the Russian nobility, though
never in sympathy with its teachings
and practices. He has been strange

has given to Russia a prominent place
in the literature of the world, and who
stands out prominently as the great

ers, the other two of which are Fedor
Dostoievsky and Ivan Turgueneff.
This man who has been placed out
side the ban of the established church
of his native land, whose portrait has
been torn from the walls of Russian
universities by order of the imperial
government, and who, rumor now says,
has been banished from the country of
his birth, is descendant of Count Pc
ter Tolstoi, who figures prominently in
history as the trusted friend of Peter
the Great. He was born in Yasnaia
Poliana, in the government of Toula,
