GERMS ON THE FARM.
Some Are a Detriment, Some Bene-
at-Use Latter to Fight
the Former.

il the popular acceptance OF the
term, germ is any very minute liv-
ing being; whether animal or vege-
visible to the naked eye, and some OF
them are so small as to be seen with
great difficulty even with the most
powerful microscopes made. They are.
generally, the smallest living things
in the world. The vegetable germs are
called bacteria and fungi; the animal
germs, protozoans. While so exceed
ingly small, the life histories of many
germs are as well known as the lives
Of higher forms of life. and yet. the
earnest study OF these minute beings
does not extend back much more than
% years.
In a general way, the great purpose
of germs in the world may be said
to hasten decay. Indeed some scien-
lists say there is no decay where
germs are not. These invisible forms
quickly convert dead animals and veg
etabe structures into earth, water and
air, or in other words, into the sim
pie compounds of earth and water.
Warmth and moisture promote germ
growth and hence, decay.
The first purpose OF germ life is
beneficial. A second action Is also
utilized by mankind. In the nalnu-
triton and ripening of certain prod
ucts, germs are the active agents. Thus,
cream and cheese are ripened, before
use, through bacterial action. The
ripening of wine and beer due tt SIM
liar action. Beef is made tender, and
the flavor of game is developed IN the
same manner, by germ growth In the
tissues. The fermentation of cabbaoe
into sauerkraut is another Illustration
along the same line, and bread ia
raised" through germ activity in
yeast.
Again, bacteria (or germs) are use
iul in gathering and preparing plant
food in the soil. On plants OF the clover
and bean family. bacteria gather in
colonies on the roots, and the reaction
which is produced between the air and
soil by these germs is the development
of heterogeneous plant food. This is one
of the greatest achievements OF these
little beings for the benefit OF man.
This work is of incalculable value to
the farmer, and to all mankind
But the work of germs is not wholly
beneficial, declares DIR. George &. Grofr,
in the Farm journal. They nave their
evil ways as well as their good ones.
Some germs have fallen upon the bad
habit of killing plants and animals
before these would naturally die Thus
the potato rot. the black rot IA the
grape. the rot OF the plum and cherry,
the black knot on the plum and cherry
trees. rust on grain, and other plant
diseases, are caused by germs. ln the
case OF animals, glanders. nydfcpho-
bla, tuberculosis, pleuro-pneuplcni MIA.
lockjaw. lumpIaw. anthrax and many
others, are germ diseases. Among
mankind. consumption, pneumonia.
tetanus, diphtheria, scarlet end ty-
phoid fevers. cholera. dysentcry. small
pox. mnmps, measles. the oriental
plague. and other diseases. are caused
by germs.

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed In DR.. Pierces
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which 1t extracts and

properties of its own, being valuable

In all cases where there is wasting
