BACTERIA IN AGRICULTURE.
The Importance OF bacteria to agri-
culture depends upon the chemical
changes they produce. These TRANSFORMED
tons are of various types each being
characteristic OF certain groups. Manure
is OF little value until bacterial fermen a
ton has doconposcd II. This decom-
position proceeds differently according to
the conditions. In the presence OF
abundant moisture ana air much gas is
formed and nitrogen lost into the air.
This is particularly true with the liquid
manure which may we'll he stored in
separate cisterns. When air and excessive
moisture are excluded. the solids de-
| compose without such serious losses
! Improper storage Of the manure In the
United States annually results in a pre-
! ventahle loss Of nitrogen valued at
$40 ooo. M. The decomposition period 's
followed by a reconstruction period. The
retained ammonia and other simple
nitrogen compounds are changed into
nitrateS.
There MAJ also he an Increase OF

other group of soil organisms living in

A good method to determine the pres

IL as follows: Several small bottles or

minutes, then drained and stoppered
with clean cotton. II these are filled
with the milk to be tested and kept in
a warm place for twenty-four hours the
appearance Of the sample will indicate
The character of the bacteria most ac-
tive. II the milk is unchanged. or II
1t has firm curd, mostly favorable
bacteria are present. II gas bubbles
are rising or there is curd much torn
by gas. it is sign that the milk has
been handled In an uncleanly manner
or that there are Objectionable germs

fensive odors are given off it is sign
that bacteria are at work digesting the

Cabbage growing In Colorado has
been followed by = few men Ia the
Greeley district as q business for the
past fifteen years. says z. r. Bennstt
Of the Colorado Agricultural College.
Nearly al parts Of the United
States grow cabbage to some extent.
but 1t remains for the cooler parts OF
the country to produce this vegetable
profitably. Northern New York leads
by far any other section In the pro
duction Of this vegetable. This II
partly because OF market demands
and partly because OF favorable cli-
mate. A comparative study OF that
section and Colorado conditions will
show that Colorado has . decided ID
vantage In lessening cost d produc-
tion and yield per acre.
Few people have appreciated the
advantage that this industry has a.
fered in Colorado In the past ten
years. One man has grown cabbage
on the same land for the past four
teen years. This land cannot be
bought for less than than $500 per acre.
The average anual yield ON this
land has been It least 10000 pounds
per acre.
While tho price of cabbage fluctu.
ates considerably from year to year.
there has been no year In the past
ten when the crop would not bring
Is cents . hundred pounds, and soma
years the price has gone - high a.
81 = hundred pounds. The average
price for the month Of October, 1905,
paid by one Of the leading shippers
Of Greeley has been about so cents q
hundred pounds.
One man on the Greeley bottoms
produced $4,000 pounds Of cabbage
per acre on \ twelve-acre field. This
was sold At Is cents . hundred
pounds. and cost, for growing and
marketing. between 80 and e35,
leaving = net return of 3340 per acre.
This last fall the shipments of cab.
bage from the northern Colorado dis.
trict, taking In the territory above
the Union Pacific Railroad from Den.
yer to Greeley. and on the C. Z g.
Railroad from Greeley to Fort Col
line, were between 800 and 1000 cars
So far the higher attitudes Of the
state have not shipped much cabbage
although the natural advantages there
