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

In the popular acceptance OF the
term, a germ Is any very minute i've
ing being: whether animal or yege-
table, Is lmmaterial. They are all in
visible to the naked eye, and some Of
them are No small as To be been with
great difficulty even with h 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 ny well known as The lives
OF higher forms OF life, and yet. the
earnest study OF these minute beings
does moi extend back much more than
25 years.
In a general way, the great purpose
Of germs Ia the world may b. said
to hasten decay. Indeed. some sclen-
lists say there is no decay where
germs are moi. These invisible formJ
quickly convert dead animals aud veg
etable 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 In
beneficial. a second action IL also
utilized by mankind. In the nulnu-
triton and ripening Of certain prod
ucts, germs are the active agents. Thus,
cream and cheese are ripened. before

liar action. Beef II made tender. and
the flavor OF game Is developed IN the
same manner, by germ growth IN the
tissues. The fermentation OF CABBAGE

along the same line. and Dread IL
raised through germ activity In
yeast.
Again. bacteria Tor germsl are use-
full 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 II produced between the air and
soil by these germs In the development,
81 heterogeneous plant food. This II one
of the greatest achievements OF these
little beings for the benefit OF man.
This work Is of %incalculable value 10
the farmer. and 10 all mankind.
hi the work OF germs In not wholly
beneficial. declares DIR. George q. Gron,
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 III the
grape, the rot OF the plum and cherry,
the black knot on the plum and cherry
trees. rust on grain. and othor plant
diseases, are caused by germs. la the
case OF animals, glanders, nydropho'
bia, tuberculosis. pleuro-pneurlonia
iockjaw. mmpjaw, anthrax and many
others. are germ diseases. Among
mankind. consumption. pneumonia
%tetanus, %diphtheria. scarlet end ~
phoid fevers, cholera. dysentery, small
pox. humps. measles, the oriental
plague, and other diseases, are caused
by germs.

Paul Hull's Dog.

Paul Hull, the 0ttenuated, dign1ned

a country editor. He was not only
the editor. but the mayor. the justice

At this climax the best Paul could
