Agricultural Methods in Waldo County.

From the Board of Agriculture Bulletin
MoNTvILLE-That there has been a very
marked advance in methods and in the in
tereSt taken in agriculture, is very plain to
the observer who compares the methods
practiced by farmers within the recollection
of the middle-aged man and the methods
and enterprises of to-day. The advent of
the practical, labOr-saving machinery was
the beginning of an evolution in agriculture
that is still progressing. More skill, more
scientific application of means, and more
enterprise characterZes the farmer each
year. Like all other avocations in life, the
more skill and enterprise is put into it. the
more educated become its patrons, and of
necessity each year calls forth higher
standard of education. Farmers should
keep in touch with this spirit of enterprise

tain principles in relation to the soil, the
propagation and growth of vegetation, and
many other things should be taught in our
common schools. Arbor day among the
schools, and the work that the School In
provement League is doing. are efforts
along this same line.-J. c. Carey.
SEARsMoNT-Much, indeed, has been the
advance of scientific knowledge in the til
the ash of the plant was all that was requir-
ed to reproduce the plant. Very soon after
; that it was discovered that some gaseous
element was needed as well, and nitrogen
was added to the plants necessities. Prac-
tically it was known for years that plants,
at least some plants, gathered nitrogen from
the air, but it took years to discover how it
was accomplished. Until recent years the
soil itself has been considered inert matter
containing a percentage, more or less, of
plant food, which the plant sought out and
made use of in its growth. Now scientists
teach us that in order to be at it's best, the
soil itself must be teeming with life,-that
certain varieties of bacteria or soil ferments
are necessary to seize upon plant food in its
crude state and convert it into carbonate of
ammonia. Another variety converts this into
nitrous acid, while yet another variety con-
verts this last into nitric acid, which alone
the plants can use, so that in order to reach
such method as to produce in abundance

of the times, one must have brains and use
them. But does it show the necessity or

ARCHITECTURE AT ST. LOUIS.

The pictures already printed of the
principal structures at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair show an exposition OF
surprising architectural beauty. 1t is
evident that dignity, massiveness and
strength are to be the dominant archi-
tectural features of the fair.
This Is as 1t should be. To gain
these effects it is necessary to draw
extensively upon the Greek or classic
type, with its majestic Doric columns,
its spacious courts and yerandas. 1t is
the most stately architecture in the
world, the capitol at Washington be-
ing one of the most beautiful and i'm
posing specimens in existence.
But the six million people who Wis
tied the Pan-American, and the
twenty-seven million who attended the
worlds fair at Chicago and several
million who attended neither hope
that the st. Louis fair will not rest
entirely upon Doric, Ionic and Cor
inthian columns. In other words, they
hope to see something besides classic
architecture at that great exposition.

THE PERILS OF BALLOONlNG.

The perilous journey of seven men

air ship. near San Francisco the other
day merely emphasizes what has al
ready been demonstrated by M. Santos
Dumont in his experiment at Paris.
and by other aeronauts, that man will
never be able to successfully steer
through the air in balloon.
In that Incompatible calm that rests
upon the French capital in the au-
tumn days Santos-Dumont was able
to steer his dirigible balloon in fixed
circle upon several occasions, but 1t
was noted that when he encountered
atmospheric disturbances he lost con-
troll of his air ship to such an extent
as to place his life in great peril and
upon one or two occasions was res
cued with much difficulty.
In the thrilling ride at San Francis
CO. In which the occupants OF the bal
loon were swept over a distance of a
hundred miles in less than two hours,
a mile above the earth. the machine
was completely at the mercy of the
breezes. At one time they were swept
out over the ocean, dipping at times
so close to the surface Of the water
that all occupants expected to be
drowned, and then rising to great al
titudes, finally being carried back over
the land by breeze from the sea,
dragged through the tops of a forest
and dropped on hillside near Pesca-
deero.
The most powerful motor and steer
ing mechanism that can be devised
cannot resist the elements when at
tached to a balloon. 1t is not possible
to propel great bag Of air against
the upper currents or to control its
course when opposed by the slightest
breezes. The problem of navigating
the ar must be solved without bal
looms. How? With wings-if ever.

AN INFECTED ANTITOxIN.


It is unfortunate that the spread of
new methods of fighting disease should
be attended by such incidents as are
reported from st. Louis. Eleven chill
aren, it Is said have died of lockjaw
after being inoculated with an antitox-
In for diphtheria, and other children
are in danger Of death from the same
cause. Investigation has shown, of
course, that there is nothing inherent
In the pure antitoxin that could be
held responsible for the lamentable re-
suits which in this case followed its
use. The fault lies not with the anti
toxin itself, which has been proved to
have great value, but probably with the
persons who were so careless, or so
unfortunate, as to use serum taken
from horse which shortly afterwards
died of lockjaw and which was. there
fore, infected with the disease when it
furnished the serum.
Many parents will now conceive
prejudice against the use of the anti
toxin for diphtheria. If the child is to
be safeguarded from one disease only
to die at once of another, the inocula-
ton cannot be said to be of much val
lie. The proceeding is too much like
jumping out of problematical frying
pan into an indubitable fire. But oc-
casional accidents do not disprove the
worth Of the remedy. The diphtherla
antitoxin will save ten times more
lives than it destroys. A reasonable
view of the matter will lead to its con-
tinued use with greater precautions.
