used with profit, even to supplement
the nitrogen fixed by legumes, in any
rotation of crops which maintains in
the soil Il sufficient supply of organic
matter or humus which is possible
with an abundant supply of mineral
plant food.
1t is true that there is no greater
problem relating to the support and
prosperity of future generations than
that of maintaining the productive
capacity of the soil. But there is
more nitrogen in the atmosphere above
every quarter section of land than is
required for the entire annual corn
crop of the world. and while bacteria

there is but one conclusion to be
drawn regarding the great nitrogen
problem, and this is, that there is no
such problem except in the minds of
people who ignore these well-known
facts.
1t is gratifying to realize that the
farmers who read agricultural papers
and experiment station bulletins and
who attend farmers institutes, are al
ready better educated regarding the
nitrogen question in its broadest
ture, than are the people who continue
to write about averting a threatened
worldwide famine by use of artificial

sort of prejudice that exists in the
minds of many persons to the effect
that the growing of stock cannot sue

errenOusly, to call hot climate,

instance, people cannot know the real
truth simply by intuition. and in the

slightest foundation for such belief
The truth is. the climate of Florida
is an ideal one for stock raising. In
southern Florida is found the greatest
grazing region east of the MiSsissip-
ri; the climate is perfect, never cold
enough to kill the grasses, which grow
as green in January as in June, and
where good wafer is in bOuntiful sup

the longest drOuth known has failed
to produce scarcity of water; it is
never hot enough to I'M lure stock, and
insect pests are only troublesome dur

June. after which time they disap-
pear.

Treatment of Wounds in Animal

We find an article in the Maine
Farmer which. on the whole. is very
good. 1t contains some good advice
about the treatment of wounds.
Possibly the statement in the first
is certainly is not true of any part of
the world where we have ever been.
Wounds to animals are quite frequent
Iy caused by barbed wire fences. the
horns of unruly cattle, and even by
the bites of dogs that are not affected
by rabies.
Probably the most frequent form of
poisoned wound met with in this
country. is that inflicted by the bite of
rabid dogs This wound is most
dangerous to human beings, when in
tiicted about the face and head, as it
is known to be followed by a greater
percentage of transmission of rabies
than when inflicted in other parts Of
the body When such wound is in
f1icted, the patient should lose no time
in cauteriZing all parts with which the
animals teeth have come in contact.
This is most effectually done with a
red hot iron; other cautiOcs, such as
pure carbOlic acid, lunar caustic, etc,
are quite effectual, but none do the
work so completely and surely as a
hot IRON If the wound is bad one,
the patient should at once go to one of
the various Pasteur Institutes for the
proper treatment, as the period of
latency, though usually long and un-
certain. may be exceptionally short,
and the earlier after the injury treat
ment is applied, the more certain will
good results follow.
Hhen fOOd-prOducing animals are
known to have been bitten, no time
should be lost in slaughtering, as the
virus is not communicated in the flesh.
All dogs and cats which have been eX-
posed must be regarded with the
greatest suspicion and kept confined
accordingly. for at least fOu months.
And even then there is no certainty of
safety, as cases are OH record where
the latent period has extended over a
period of upwards of a year. Very
valuable dogs may be subjected to the
Pasteur treatment where expense does
not figure too conspicuously, and
where not too great in proportion to
their relative value.

Artificial Nitrogen.

The Maine Farmer prints part of
the address of a professor of the Hi
nois Experiment Station. All that he
says is no doubt true with regard to
fairly good soil that is used for or
binary farming. But on the light soil
of this state, where so many places
are used for special crops that do not
allow of rotation of crops in the
nitrogen is necessity. The natural
supply is known to be growing less
all the time, and the price higher year
by year Therefore the discovery of
Il practical means of making the
abundant supply which is found in the
air, available is greatly to be desired.
Prof. C. G. Hopkins, of the Illinois
Experiment Station, comments on the
news press exaggeration concerning
eXtricatiOn of nitrogen from the air
for fertilizing purposes. The cOnclud-
ing paragraphs of his forceful article
read as follows:
Referring to the general subject of
artificial production of combined nitro
gen. it may be said that this is a mat
ter of very great agricultural import
ance for market gardening and other
fOrmes of intensive agriculture, but
in general farming all, or by far the
larger part, of the nitrogen required
for crop production must always be
taken directly from the air by means
of legume crops. 1t is impossible to
conceive of artiticially prepared nitro
and other legumes, because legume
crops can be grown and utilized with
actual profit entirely aside from the
effect produced upon succeeding crops
1t seems evident that the authors
of some of the popular articles relat
ing to the Importance of these artifi-
cial products are ignorant of the fact
that practically all of the cultivated
soils of the world are already abund-
antly infected with one or more kinds
of nitrOgen-ixing bacteria, and that
even artificial inOculation is altogether
unnecessary for the production of the
ordinary legumes in regions where
they have been grown during previous
years.
AS a matter of fact, at least 80 per
cent of the crops of the world are be-
ing produced without the use of COM
mercial nitrogen and without artificial
soil incubation, and where abundant
use is made of legume crops in rota-
ton it will be possible in all future
years, as it has been during the thou
sands of years in the past, for farmers
to maintain sufficient supply of nj
trOgen in the soil without the purchase
of any artificial nitrogen. The present
worlds total annual production of
nitrogen in sodium nitrate, ammonium
sulphate, and in artificial products
would not be sufficient to produce the
corn crop of Illinois, taking into ac-
count the crop requirements and the
loss in drainage waters which always

other coal tar products, turpentine,
etc, all of which accomplish the
desired end when properly used, but
to be of service must possess antisep-
tic properties. Antiseptics are agents
which prevent the growth and de-
velOpment of the micro-organisms oc-
casiOning fermentation, putrecation
and disease, more especially the micro
organisms producing suppuration. The
old popular idea that prOfuse dis
charge of pus from wound is an in
dicatiOn that healing is progressing
favorably, has been exploded. Pus
denotes the presence of pus-forming
organisms. which live and multiply on
the reparative material which nature
brings and deposits on the surface of a
wound for its repair, converting it
from reparative material into pus, a
substance not only utterly devoid of
healing properties. but INJURIOUS to
that process. Antiseptics then free
the wound of these organisms and per-
NIT healing to progress; therefore, an
tiseptics do not heal. they simply de-
strOy germs which delay healing, that
nature may do its work without inter
ruption. Antiseptics, to be of service
in the treatment of wounds, must fall
short of injuring reparative material
or the surrounding tissues. Much
damage is frequently done by their
improper use. Corrosive sublimate,
for instance, possesses antiseptic pro-
employed in too concentrated a solu-
ton, also dstrOys reparative material,
hence does as much damage as bacte-
ria. Many others in like manner fire.

Corrosive sublimate may safely be

solution. No stronger. Carbolic acid
and creOlin are exceedingly useful in
from per cent to . per cent strength;
the former requires a solvent such as
glycerine, as water only takes up 1
part iii 1.2OO; while in the later is
freely soluble, forming a milky emul-
sion. Many cheaper products, though
similar, are also to be had, among
them might be mentioned chlorO-
napthOleum, which gives excellent re
suits. Turpentine, although an excel
lent antiseptic, should never be en-
ployed on animals Especially horses)
in the pure state. While possessing
antiseptic properties to a marked de-
gree, the extent of irritative fever pro-
duced is not warranted by the good
effects obtained; it may, however, be
employed with satisfaction if dissolv-
ed with its own quantity or twice that
amount of linseed or cottonseed oil.

employed warm, about the tempera-

market, some of which give excellent
results These too, must fall short of

"No CURE, NO PAY."
How H. Goodman Sells Hyomei, the
 Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.

H. Goodman has an unusual offer to make to our readers, one that will be of the greatest value to many
 For some years H. Goodman has been watching the results from the use of Hyomei. a treatment for catarrh that cures by breathing medicated air. aD- solutely without any stomach dosing successful that he feels justified in making q public offer to treat the worst case of catarrh in Phoenix with the understanding that if Hyomei does not cure. the treatment will cost absolute ly nothing
 People who have spent large sums with catarrh specialists. deriving but little benefit, or the many who have swallowed stomach remedies in the vain hope of curing catarrh, have ex- perienced almost immediate relief from the use of Hyomei while the continued treatment for a short time has result ed in complete and lasting cure.
 The regular Hyomei outfit costs only one dollar, and consists of neat pock- ot inhaler that c2n be carried in the purse or vest pocket. a medicine drop i"n. and a bottle of Hyomei. If this is not enough for a cure. extra bottles of HS omei can be obtained for 50 cents

PERHAPS.

Our philosophic friend the Prescott Courier diagnosing the case of the democratic party of Phoenix finds that the decline which began to be pain fully perceptible two weeks ago last night is attributable to tuberculosis. It is being wasted away by an invas- ion of republican consumption bacilli which, however. are naturally raVag- ing it from without and not from with in. The disease, therefore, may be regarded as a sort of political lupus.
 This is the construction the Courier places upon the result of the late elec- tion:
 Newcomers in Arizona may be de- ceived as to the political complexion of the territory on account of mu- nicipal election here and there being carried by republicans. Phoenix, for instance. has been going republican for about ten years. while Maricopa coun- ty is safely democratic. There is Q great influx of onelungers into Phoe- nix and a few southern towns, and for some unknown reason about 99 per cent of these people are republicans"
 We do not believe this estimate of the matter is accurate; that there is greater number of republican one lungers than there are democrats with inadequate, unbalanced and odd lungs.
 We can see no reason at all Why republicans are more prone to con- sumption than democrats are but we can see a very good reason why con sumptives should be prone to republi- canism. The prospect of leaving this world naturally tends toward moral improvement and spiritual purifca tion.
 As for us in the fitness and boast fulness of health, we do not believe it makes any difference whether one dies a democrat or dies O republican. Per haps though, if we were in i'll health we would take a more cautious view. It is quite possible that many who be- lieve themselves to be about to depart, and desiring to be on the safe side em- brace republicanism in the course of general preparation for the world that lies beyond.

THE BEET SUGAR BUSINESS.

The Wall Street Summary of last week contains the fiscal report of the American Beet Sugar company show ing the progressive movement of that infant industry In which so many farm CTS of this valley are engaged. The net earnings of the company for the year were $1.422.O11, as against $1,- 117,795 for nine months of the previous year, this comparison being made nec- essary by a change in the ending of the frcal year This shows however q substantial gain, month for month.
 The company has had to contend with unusual difficulties, one of which was the violent and uninterrupted decline in raw sugars throughout the year ending March 31.
 The report says: While it is most difficult to make a forecast as to the future market prices for refined sug- ars. it does not seem probable that we shall experience a lower average range of values than has obtained during the past year"
 But. against this decline was an improvement of methods. From the manufacturing standpoint the average cost of production was reduced below the level of previous years in spite of the fact that the quality of the raw material in Colorado and Nebraska, owing to unfavorable weather, was most inferior.
 As to the outlook the report con- tinues: "The prospects for the coming year. from an agricultural standpoint, are highly satisfactory promising a full supply of raw material for all of your factories. This, in connection with the high state of efficiency in which your plants have been maintain ed. should result in lower cost of pro- duction."
