Nitro-Culture.

We are almost daily getting letters
from farmers asking about what has
been called nitro-culture. They seem
to imagine that it is new and con-
Centrated fertilizer that will make
poor land rich at once, and we are
asked if it is a good fertilizer for
this, that and the other farm crop.
The article now called nitro-culture is
simply laboratory culture of the va
rious bacterial forms that live on the
roots of legumes, and the purpose of
these cultures is to inoculate the soil
with the different bacteria. since il
has been found that each class of le-
gume has it's own specific bacterium
and the successful growth of each de-
ponds on the presence in the soil of
the bacterium that lives on it's roots
and enables it to get the free nitrogen
of the air combined in the soil for it's
use These various nitro-cultures.
therefore, are not fertilizers, but are
simply collections Of living forms of a
microscopic character that retain their
vitality for a considerable time when
dried, and can then be diffused in wa
ter and sprinkled on the seed or on
soil to be scattered over the land that
is to be sown to some such crop as
alfalfa, peas or other legumes.

Tho Reef Trust.

The Beef Trust reporLs that tho
firms i'm it are barely keeping thei
heads above water, and are not max

high, prices paid for cattle. We hay
not heard of any feeders getting phe

complaint among cattle raisers is thu

to sell and the fact that there is onl,
one market in the West for beef cat

exchanges figures out that instead OF

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, April 15.-After yester
days furious speculation in stocks
movement to take profits was indi-
Gated fer today and it developed &C

tinental group, and stocks which have
moved in sympathy with that group.

standing the buoyant upShoot in the
first hour, st. Paul alone of the group
reserving a meagre gain on the day
after having been at one time more
than two points up. Union Pacific,
New York Central and Illinois Cen
trail were also lifted a point in the
early market but closed at net losses
of over a point for the two first and
of 2 1-2 for the last. In the curb
market Northern Securities itself was
rushed up to 1876 3-S but fell back
at the last to 1S1 SIS. The whole
market eentered around these move
ments and was not in any degree re-
sponsive to any of the news develop
ments. A denial by the head of the
Great Northern and of the Northern
Securities companies of yesterdays
rumors of a stock dividend by the
former company had no influence in
lettering the continuance of the rush
to buy the stocks concerned at first,
nor did the news favorable to value
serve to hold the later market. inc
trading represented purely an episode
in the progress of an unrestrained
speculation. The increase of bank de-
posts by reason of the loan expan-
sion did not impair the surplus as the
cash increase was more than sufficient
to meet the added requirement. Mer-
camille reviews confirmed other evil
dence of active and prosperous trade
conditions. The money market was
nominal, as is usual on a Saturday
but foreign exchange moved up sew
eral points.

Keen Ciear Of Suspicion.

We have seen somewhere ameng our
exchanges the statement that one of
the Station investigators who is most
active in advising the use of the pull
verified phosphate rock instead of the
dissolved acid phosphate. is stock
holder in a company engaged in man
the article he urges farm
ers to use The statement to which
we refer did not intimate that the
professor named was in any way in
sincere in his advocacy Of pulverized
rock, but evidently farmers will as
sumo that there may be some self-in-
terest in the matter, and it would be
wise for Station investigators to keep
their skirts clear of any suspicion of
self-seeking. We believe that scientific
men in general are coming to consid-
er the pulverized rock of more value
that they have hitherto been willing
to admit but the value of the article
should rest on actual results from
careful experiments, and these will al
ways be more relied upon by farmers
when made by those who have no fin
ancial interest in the sale of the ar
ticle.

Mr.. Ramsey Sails for New York.
London, Aug. 29.-(Special.)- j.
Ramsey. Jr., left here today for New
York. Just before sailing Mr.. RAM
sey, who is president of the Wabash
railroad, was interviewed in regard to
some remarks which were made, that
a large number of the employees of
his road were doing work that called
for $125 a month for less than $50 per
month. Mr.. Ramsey denied this and
said. Train collectors are carefully
selected as to honesty and respecta-
biiity and approved by the president
of the company, and if found compet-
ent are quickly raised to their proper
standard of wages After you have
been on the Wabash long enough you
will discover that these $l25 and $40
a month men, will have all they can
do and reducing their pay would not
be saving for then they would not
attend to their duties as properly as
they do in this case" Mr.. Ramsey
has been having long vacation, and
fas been looking at other railroads

ing of his words. lest he might have
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain. He knows his life has no.
been what it ought to have been.
It might have been better-or much
letter Seventy-two years old and
sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about
everything a man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He is seventy-two and
still able to successfully head great
corporation.
Fame? He is a senator Of the Unit
ed States and maker Of presidents
Power? For years he has been the
supreme boss of the Republican poll
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while to himself and to tbs
world? With the clear after vision
Of old age Platt can see that his life
Las simply been a successful failure.
Because
"A mans life CONSISTENT not in the
abundance Of the things that he
hath" Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being;
not in getting. but in giving. 1t lies
not in what man has, but il what
he is and what he does
Platt sees what mieht have been.
He might have had, instead Of mil
lions of dollars, wealth Of mind
and soul; instead of fame as boss.
that of benefactor; instead Of power
in politics. the power to do good to
his fellows instead of the fawning
Of lieutenants, the esteem of friends:
instead of hollow service. love.
Yes. his life could have been made
so much better"-if he had cared
for the real things instead Of the inn
itations.
And for the sake of the young men
of this country it is we'll that this
cid man, successful after his kind
should virtually confess his failure
