not stand in awe of the words science"
or scientific" All they mean is
correct knowledge of anything, and that
can hurt no one. 1t is ignorance
about things that hurt. One of the
most scientific and therefore success
full farmers we ever knew, unfortun-
ately never learned the most rudi-
mentary things about philosophy, as
tronomy, algebra and such things. He
was a great reader of other mems
thoughts and in his farming industry
was a great success. For instance, to
apply his knowledge, which is called
applied science, he knew that when
the corn plant was a foot or two high
the fine fbrous roots of it spread from
row to row, permiating the soil three
or four inches below the surface, and
so he knew the laws OF its growth
well enough to use only shallow surface
cultivators and not to break these
fibers which were feeding the corn
plant in it's growth. That farmer was
a thorough scientific corn grower. It
is knowledge like this, and its appn-
cation to the wide range of things
about farming that makes man
scientific farmer" We hope that we
have made this matter plain to our
correspondent. One cannot know too
much about his business affairs, and
therefore cannot be too scientific In
pursuing them.

GEORGIA and FLORIDA
CAR OFF TRACKS.

Courier Despatch: An accident that
rarely takes place occurred a few
nights ago between Triton and Cyclic
Meta, when train No. on the Georgia
Southern and Florida was on that part
of the road. bound for Macon. The
train was well under way when sud-
denly the baggage master found him
self being severely jolted and Jostled.
He realized that the car was of the
track and being thrown to the floor
several times he had difficulty in max
ing his fellow trainmen aware of the
fact. When at last the cord was
reached the bounding stopped as sud-
denly as it had started. The stop was
made, however. and upon examination
some brasses were found to be mis-
placed. and the boxes on one pair of
the cars trucks were very hot. The
brasses were replaced and the men re-
sumed their journey, knowing nothing
of what had happened. Later exam
ination showed that the car had been
off the track and run nearly three
miles on the ties to a switch, where 1t
was thrown upon the rails again. The
track was torn up considerably.

Most persons are aware that the at
mosphere is composed of two gases,
oxygen and nitrogen, these being me-
chanically mixed in the proportion of
one of the former to four of the lat
ter, says the Homestead. When we
say they are mechanically mixed we
mean in the sense that one might mix
together oats and barley, for exam
pie: In this case the character of
neither grain is changed Water is a
mixture of an entirely different mat
ter, being composed of hydrogen gas
and nitrogen gas in the proportion
of two of the former to one of the lat
ter, these being chemically mixed, the
resulting compond being a liquid that
in no sense resembles either gas. Just
as it is possible to pick out either grain
from a mixture of oats and barley, so
II is possible to separate the oxygen
and nitrogen of the atmosphere.
Certain forms of vegetation enjoy
the power of making the separation
above referred to. All plants belong
ing to the legume family are known

tain germs or organisms. These forms
of life depend for their existence upon
which they feed to take nitrogen gas
from the atmosphere and store it up
in the tissues of the root, stem and
leaves. That this is what takes place
is not merely conjecture, as the mat
ter has been proven beyond any shad-
ow of doubt. 1t is because of this
that the growing of legumes, such
as clovers, peas and beans, is so free
ly advocated as a means of keeping up
the supply of soil fertility. So far
as is known there are no organisms
on the roots of oats, wheat barley,
grass or corn, and consequently these
crops are obliged 10 take their entire
supply of mineral matters and nitrogen
from the soil. A thrifty crop of red
clover will store enough nitrogen for
several crops of corn or small cereals,
hence the necessity of growing either
this crop or some member of the le-
gume family at regular intervals. 1t
is true that clover seed or legume
seed of any kind costs money, but
taking it one year with another the
man who clovers his land at regular
intervals will not only grow larger
crops, but he will grow crops of better
quality than where no legumes are
grown. There is something in the veg
etable matter stored in the soil by the
legumes, in addition to nitrogen, that

Soda Nitrate on Cabbages.

bulletin of the Department of Ag-
riculture, reviewing some experiments
with nitrate of soda at the New Jer-
sey Experiment Station, says: With
cabbages there was yield of but $40
prime heads per acre when no nitrate
of soda was used. When 300 pounds
of the nitrate was applied per acre in
two equal dressings the number of
prime heads obtained was $3.50. When
the same amount was applied in three
equal dressings the yield of prime
heads per acre was $500. On the plat
which had received 400 pounds of nj
trate of soda per acre in two equal
dressings the yield was AGO prime
heads per acre, and when this same
amount was applied in three equal
dressings 1880 prime heads were OBJ
tanned per acre. From these figures it
will be seen that the use of the nj
trate of soda greatly increased the
yield of prime heads in every instance.
1t will further be noticed that when
the nitrate was applied in three equal
dressings the largest yields were OBJ
tanned. Applying the nitrate in three
dressings proved more effective in in
creasing the yield than increasing the
amount 100 pounds. For example, 300
| pounds in three equal dressings was
more effective than 400 pounds in two
equal dressings, and the best yield of
all was obtained by applying 400
pounds of nitrate in three equal dress
ings. Not only was the yield much
greater than on any other plat, but
the quality of the cabbage was much
improved, the heads selling for so per
cent. more than those from any other

Cultivation to OTset Droutb

While the general practice is to Gull
tivate merely to kill weeds, the most
progressive farmers are making use
of frequent cultivation Ito conserve
moisture. There is more or less mois-
ture at all times in the subsoil, and
it is here that the plants get enough
water to carry on growth through the
summer. This water is brought to the
surface through what is known as
capillary attraction. The capillary
tubes, as they are commonly called,
and what is not used by the plants
is thus lost by evaporation.
The object in intensive cultivation
is to break off, as ii were, these capil-
larry tubes near the surface, so that
the water will be prevented from evap-
Grating. In short time, however
new tubes are formed and evaporation
continues, but if cultivation is frequent,
evaporation is kept in check and the
plants use most of the water brought
from below. Anyone who has lifted a
board, stone, or a pile of rubbish
during a dry period is impressed with
the moisture which has accumulated
beneath it. The same condition will be
found in a field frequently cultivated

Value of CharconI

Permit me to urge all breeders of
poultry who wish healthy fowls to be
liberal in supplying their birds with
charcoal. 1t is one of the best pre-
ventives of disease and purifiers of the
animal system that we have, or at
least that we know Of 1t helps to
purify the digestive organs and acts
as a Stimulus by purifying the blood
and toning up the system in general.
1t does not need to be crushed fine,
mixed with other food and compel them
to eat it, but all that is necessary is
to break it up in small pieces con-
venient for them to swallow. They
will produce more eggs if they have
plenty of charcoal of easy access. The
cost of charcoal is but a trifle, even
when bought, and If you burn wood
in your stove the fire ashes may be
sifted out and the black Goals saved
and pounded in pieces in small piles.
where the fowls can get it easily. 1t is
especially valuable during the spring
and summer months. for then il is that
the blood is sluggish and needs some
thing to purify Il. Ii is from this rea-
son, principally, that most of the poul-
try diseases come during these months.
