NITROGEN.

Nitrogen is a colorless, tasteless,
odorless gas, chemical element
About four-fifths of the air is nitro
gen and it is principal ingredient of
flesh, milk, etc. 1t is useful in agri-
culture when in a combined state, that
is to say, it must be united with other
materials, or elements as the chemist
calls chem, in order as it were to bind
it. When in the gaseous state only
a few forms Of plant life, the legumes
or pod-bearing plants, can make use
OF it. When it is combined with other
elements in mineral nitrate or am
monia) or organic dead vegetable or
animal matter) materials it is more
or less available to all plants. It is
present in these mineral or organic
compounds in amounts varying all the
way from a small fraction of 1 per
cent to 20 per cent. Nitrogen is used
in the fertilizer trade in three forms,
as nitrates, as ammonia salts and in
organic matter.-Vermont Station.

1.-THE Road to MELVILLE" Pointed the
Way.
Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the Wis
ttors have all sorts of complaints, but
1t is a subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent.
A young man states that he had suf-
fered for nine years from stomach
and bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheu-
matism and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the
waiter, knowing his condition, sug-
gested he try Grape-Nuts and cream,
which he did, and found the food
agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to
sleep peacefully at night, different
than he had for years. The perfect d.

stipation had disappeared. could not
believe it true after suffering for so
many years; then took more interest
in the food, read the little book, The
Road to Wellville,' and started follow

The journalist arrived dressed for
the important occasion in the pink of
fashion-a silk hat of dazzling new
ness, light summer overcoat, lavender
trousers and patent leather shoes.
The poet laureate greeted him cordial:

"Why, certainly, my lord" replied
the interviewer.
Follow me, them" and Fennyson
seized his broad-brimmed hat, threw
his Inverness coat over his shoulders,
and walked out by the. back door,
across the yard, through the farm, and
on to- the pig sites. The journalist
followed, holding up his lavender
trousers and walking on tip-toe as he
crossed the filthy yard. The poet
stopped at a sly, and, leaning over the
wall, he scratched the back of huge

Prof. S. A. Forbes, ip recent ad-
dress, said:
In 1889 showed by experiment with
curculios taken April IA on their first
emergence from their winter quarters
that they fed at that early season
sometimes on dead fallen leaves, on
green leaves and fresh blossoms OF
the peach, and on the blossoms OF
roses, honeysuckle and SNOWFALL. They
evidently ate dead leaves only when
living vegetation could not be fourd,
as when confined with both they chose
only the latter. Poison experiments
were made on these beetles in confine-
ment by spraying both leaves and
fruit with Paris green, with the result
that a single treatment of their food
killed, within eight days, all but one
beetle of eight lots of specimens pois-
oned:
In 1892 Professor John B. Smith
published in the Bulletin of the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta.
ton the statement that the curculio
could be controlled only by poisoning
the adult beetle, spraying first before
the trees come into bloom; and at least
three times afterWard, as for the
cooling moth.
In 1901, my attention having been
particularly called to the Importance
of preventing small surface injuries
to the apple, which lowered it's market
grade and diminished it's price, I sent
an assistant, Mr.. E. S. G. Titus,
through southern Illinois in June and
July to observe and collect examples
OF these injuries, and such insects as
might be held responsible for them.
Quantities of blemished fruit were
sent to the Office for careful study,
and as means of rearing any insects
which it might contain.
From this investigation it appeared
that much the greater part of the in
jury complained of was due to the
plum-curculio, and that the control of
this insect would virtually protect the
apple.
Pursuing the subject further, in
1902 an article prepared by Mr.. Titus
was read by me at your meeting for
that year on insects, Other Than
the Cooling Moth, Injurious to the
Fruit of tie Apple" The greater part
of this paper was given to the work
of the plum-curculio in the apple or.
chard. In addition to many close and
careful observations, an important
point was maze in this paper that m
jury to the fruit was least in we'll
cultivated orchards, and the sugges-
ton was made that orchard cultivation
az time when the bulk of the cur
culios are in the ground passing
through their transformations might
have the effect to diminish their num-
Der by killing them in the pupa state.
For this purpose, it was said, a mid
summer blowing would be necessary,
following by narrowing to break up
the clods and expose the pupae more
thoroughly to the weather. The prompt
destruction of the fallen fruit and
spraying of the trees with Paris green
were also prominently mentioned.
