GNoCULATING THE GROUND.

tNOCULAIlNG The GhOUND.
To inoculate sterile ground and
make 1t bring FORTH fruit in album
dance is one of the latest achieve
ments of American science. says the
National Geographic Magazine. Some
of mans mcst dread diseases-small
pox. diphtheria. plague. rabies-have
been vanquished by incubation. and
now incubation is to cure soil that
has been wcrn out and make 1t fertile
and productive again. The germs that
bring fertility are mailed by the De-
partment of Agriculture in a small
package like a yeast cake. The cake
containe millions OF dried germs. The
farmer who receives the cakes drops
it into barrel Of Clean water; the
germs are revived and soon turn the
water to milky white. Seeds of clo-
yer. peas, alfalfa or other leguminous
plants that are then soaked in this
milky preparation are endowed with
marvellous strength. Land on which.
for instance. the farmer with constant
toll had obtained alfalfa only few
inches high. when planted with these
inoculated seeds will produce alfalfa
several feet high aad so rich that the
farmer does not recognize his crop.

LIGHT AND WATER RATES
ARE STILL BEING AGITATED
Alderman Rand Talks of Conditions
in a Colorado Town-A Live
and Interesting Subject.

Alderman ID. NJ. Rand, chairman of
the special committee appointed by the
city council several weeks ago to inter
view the Northwest Light & Power COM
pany as to obtaining concessions for the
city and private consumers in the mat
ter of rates and service, is still much in
terested in that subject. He handed to
The Herald last Monday a clipping of
a dispatch to a Denver paper from Sill
verton, Colo, showing what the condi-
tions are in that city. The lights in
Silverton," said Mr.. Rand, ARE manu-
featured by steam, which is much more
expensive than the water power we have
in this city, and it seems to me that the
company should be willing to make ma
terial reductions. The talk that the
committee had with Mr.. Strahorn sew
eral weeks ago on this subject was sim
ply an informal one,' he continued, "anj
Mr.. Strahorn promised that when he re-
turned here he would submit us the
rates charged in n number of the cities
in this section of the country and would
be willing TO do the right thing. This is
subject that the public will hear more
of in the future and if you wish to pub
lish this clipping / think it will prove
of interest"
