tried to illustrate this principle was
one which will appeal 70 the New
Englauder. A glass jar Of powdered
silica or sand, absolutely destitute OF
soil, was procured, the sand vac heat
ed to eliminate any possible soil con-
tanned, and was then covered With
water. In the sand were planted some
white beans which were treated with
tho culture, and the result was re-
markable growth Of vegetation and
crop. To-day it has become some
thing more than laboratory expert
ment, and enough to fertilize the seed
for an acre can be furnished at the
cost OF one cent. When this was first
elaborated to the House committee
wag among the members said that it
reminded him Of remark of Hibern-
ian friend to whom someone pre-
dicted something Of the same sort
and told him the time would come
when the farmer would carry the fer
tilizeT Tor an acre ofground in his vest
pocket.
"Yes, be jabbers," said Pat, Can
yo'll carry the crop in viz other visit

Pats fears have not been realized.
Crops Of clover, alfalfa, peas and
other plans are grown with the aid Of
the wizard fertilizer fifteen and even
twenty times as great as those grown
on adjacent fields untreated.
The discovery is not cure-all. It
will not make every desert blossom
like rose, but it is believed to be the
most Important agricultural discovery
for generation, and in renewing and
restoring wornout lands it will per.
form function whose Importance
cannot be over estimated. In this
way New England should be able to
begin checking in some degree, at
at least, the dangerous egress from
her borders, and the children of the
extreme east should be able to more
nearly hold their own with their cou-
sins on the plains.
While under the old system, crop
ping exhausted the soil, where the
inoculated seed is used the soil is
enriched by the crop and the bacteria
left by the leguminous plants make it
possible to raise enormous crops of
wheat, potatoes and miscellaneous
products in following years, and many

ported its large families and sent out
the men who have dominated the lift
and growth Of the great West, but is
now given over to the encroaohipg
brush may yet be restored to it's for
mer fertility.
The next time you look over the
Government appropriations just COM
pare the various departments with a
few of these facts in mind. For the
current year Congress hes appropri-
atGd little over three hundred and
twenty million dollars for the arts of
war, including therein, as they pro-
perly should be included, the, pension
appropriations. In other words, to
keep up our military establishment
and to build our war ships anG train
our soldiers. it has cost us q good deal
over million dollars q day for the
working days Of the whole year. For
the same period the Government has
appropriated for the Department of
Agriculture round six millions of
dollars, or the million dollars q day
for the working days Of single week.
By and by, the people will under
stand about this and then there will
be something doing.

Steam Shovel Solution of
 Atlin Mining

That the steam shovel is the solution of Atliu miniag is the conviction of Dr. F. B. Runnalls, who returned Satur- day evening from a business trip to that district.
 Said Dr.. Runualls:
 "The steam shovel that is being oper- ated by the Northern Mines, limited, the company organized by R. D. Feath- stouehaugh last spring, has paid for it. self this summer and yielded a surplus. There is not a creek in that country that cannot be successfully worked with a steam shovel. The Northern Mines, limited, has been operating on Spruce creek and at a times it has been short of water. Had it possessed a gresIer water supply and larger shovel the results would have been bet ter"
 Dr. Runnalls says the operations this summer have shown to better advan- tage than ever the fact that great future is ahead of the Atliu miniag dis trict. He is heavily interested in quartz properties there and he believes that developments along that line are in line for the near future. Nego- tiations are pending, which if cOnsum- mated, win result in extensive work ing on the Yellow Jacket, the Rock of Ages and other properties next year.
