FERT,lIzlNG BACTERIA.

The proposition of the government Il
distribute fertilizing bacteria has mo-
attracted so much attention in the fer
tile middle west as among the eastern
and southern farmers. whose annua
expenditures for guano and other fer
tilizers Is often an appalling item In
the expense account. The middle wes1
with its immense livestock industry
makes most Of Its needed fertilizer
upon It's own farms. But less favored
and fortunate sections will watch anx
iously for some practical and convinc-
ing test Of the power of the beneficent
bacteria, which scientists claim draw
nitrogen from the air to the enrich-
ment of the soil.
The agricultural department has been
working on the idea Of cultivating the
bacteria that stimulate the formation OF
nitrates In great numbers and shipping
them to farmers. They are to be sent
in the form OF dry cultures. with suf-
fici.nt supply of nutrient salts, or
which they are to live and multiply uE-
til they become at home in the soil.
These are to be used either to form 4
solution of soaking seeds or to spread
over the soil itself in mixture of dry
earth.
The problem of producing. preserv-
ing and shipping these bacteria seems
to have been worked out in the depart
ment They are said to be hardy, like
other bacteria. They are killed by
heat: but they can be dried and kept
Indefinitely in an even temperature till
they are needed for use. They can be
revived by water to high activity. The
custom of the department is to ship
Them In absorbent cotton, bit of
which the size of yeast cake will In
oculate an acre of land. This will be
vastly cheaper than buying fertilizer.
even when the farmer pays for his cul-
ture.

estate holdings and farming operations
There are large areas of cheap and un-

A NEW SOUTHERN INDUS TRY.

Southern papers and periodicals de-
voted to agricultural interests are M
sistently urging the cattle breeding and
feeding industry upon their readers.
Cotton is the standard crop in the sec
tion where the publications referred to
circulate, but one OF these. prominent
trade journal, declares the south is
asleep to tn. value OF the beef Indus
try. It calls attention to the abnormal
prosperity of farmers OF the middle
west, and declared that in spite of re-
cent losses in feeding cattle. incurred
within the last ten months, the greater
part of the present richness of these
farmers is due solely to the profits they
have taken in year after year from
feeding their corn to cattle and mar
keting beef steers. The paper also
stated that the doubling and quadrup-
ling of land values In the middle west
during the past eight and ten years,
was caused primarily through the
farmers compelled to market their
grain In Its crude state their annual in
come would not have been totaled hall
what it has during the period mem
toned. Again, had there been no out
let for the grains in the way of feed
ing them to steers, the market price OF
cereals the past decade would have
averaged much lower than 1t did, at
least calculation, third lower. The
cotton journal urges that the farmers
of the south wake up to the advantages
OF the south as a cattle country and
emulate the prosperity of the trans
Mississippi beef producer.
There Is suggestion in this for the
iowa farmer of small means, for the

That there is Il disposition on Wall
street to nominate Senator Hanna or
any other republican who can he per-
suaded to stand, has been evident for
some months. President Roosevelt
has not been popular in certain influen-
tial quarters since the merger decision
was rendered in St Paul. 1t may even
be believed that Senator Plat could
console himself If the party should en-
ter next years campaign with new
leader, and although Senator Hanna is
the man who forced the Roosevelt
Vice presidential nomination. upon HIM

that there is the slightest chance of
securing n delegation from New York

president is so improbable that 1t is
not worthy of discussion. except with

A COLD MORNING.

summer nights as in winter; loose va

frost in the air affects the lens through

the dome of sky with living fire. So
just now the consultations look like
Clipped ice. Orion and the Plelades

cold. frigid and glistening like frost on

And it takes cold to add new beauty

Smoke pours from the stack as an
immense plume, and, IL the tempera-
ture Is just right, Ca degree of moisture

then at their best. Frost is the most
