Nitrogen Compounds.

Nitrogen is the bottled wine of the
vegetable feast. If the term stimulant
can be applied to any organization
destitute of a system, h e
nitrogen is the stimulant of plant life.
In any of its combined forms it gives
depth of color and eXuberance OF
growth to vegetable life, and when in
abundant supply it causes the plant
to break forth into riotouS growth.
The great reservoir of nitrogen is the
air, but the leaves of plants though
constantly bathed in nitrogen cannot
drink in a particle. 1t is only nitrogen
in combination that can be appropri-
ated by the plant, and this enters the
plant by the roots and comes through
the soil. A small amount is brought
to the soil by the rain, washing out
the ammonia and nitrates of the air,
but the amount is not large and en-
tirely inadequate to supply a crop. A
large amount Of active nitrogen in the
form of nitrates is yearly formed in
every well cultivated field, and this is
the cheapest way of securing a supply
of this costliest element of ant
growth. The raising of leguminous
crops, like the clovers, is the next
cheapest way of securing a supply,
Combined nitrogen is purchased in
three forms; salts of ammonia, nitrate
of soda, and organic nitrogen in the
form of dried blood, fish scraps, cot
ton seed meal, etc.-Bulletin 202, Mich

Good mornin', Uncle Billy every

One morning Uncle Billy had made

had taken his potion from a bottle OF

NEW IDEA FOR EXPRESS TRAINS.
Makes No Stops, But Drops Passen-
gers Of at Stations.


A model of a new device was re-
Gently shown before the members OF
the British Association, by means OF
which it is possible to put passengers
off at any station along a railroad
without stopping the train.
The model showed a circular track.
The last carriage on the train was
slipped as each station was passed,
and passengers wishing to alight at
the next station would proceed to the
last carriage. the train being of course
continuous Oh the American plan, so
that access could be had right
through. Then the slipped carriage
had deposited its passengers and TAX
en- up a fresh load, it would be started
and the next train would De allowed
gradually to catch it up. 1t would
then form part of the new train until,
having passed a sufficient number OF
stations, it came to be the last car

more slipped. Of course the cars
V ould be electrically driven, and the
author exhibited a model showing
