Milk as a NOurishment.

Although most people think Of
milk entirely as a fluid, it really
becomes a solid when 1t reaches
the stomach and gets in contact
with the digestive secretlons.
This happens from the peculiar
quality know as curdling, which
is seen when rennet Is added or
ordinary souring occurs outside
the body. The familiar junket
and whey will come to mind as
form that milk may often be
made to take. All milks, how.
ever, do not curdle IN the same
way. Some curdle in soft masses
and others IN tough, strlngy
portions. There is a reason for
this, as IN every other phenome-
non seen in nature. Milk is ln-
tended not only to nourlsh the
young, but to develop It's dlges
tive tract, so that later on it can
take care of more solid food.
Soft curdllng and hard curdling
milks are intended for animals
that will have very different
digestive tracts when they are
grown. The soft curdlng milk
for the human infant is intended
for a beng that has one small
stomach and comparatively
simple digestive tract, that even.
tuaIly can only digest food that
has been carefully chewed and
masticated. The hard curdling
milk tor the calf is intended for
an animal with four stomachs and
an elaborate digestive tract that
can later digest great strlngy
masses Of hay and grass. This
affords a beautiful example of
how nature makes this elemental
fluid work out an important de-
velopmental function, in addition
to nourishlng the young. 1t also
shows that milks are not readily
interchangeable, and how Impor.
tant 1t is for the mother of every
species of animal TO nourish her
own young.-"Hhe Mission of the
Modern Doctor" in The Ladies

DRAWING FERTILIZER FROM THE AIR.
A New Process by Which Fertilizer for
Land is Secured-Extracting the
Nitrogen from the Air.

Every farmer knows that his
fertilizers must be rich IN nltrates
to produce the best results, and
he also knows that such fertiliz
ers are expensive.
Through the invention of AMOR.
wegian chemist, the prospect is
now good for supply of fertiliz
ing nitrates at low price and In
unlimited quantities. Professor
Blrkeland of Chrlstiana,s while
making some electrical expert
ments, discovered that he had
found a way of extracting the
nitrogen from the air. Accord
lngly he set about perfecting his
accidental invention.
This was SIX years ago. There
is now IN Norway a company,
backed by English and German
capital, which is turning out cal
cium nltrate-a compound of lime
and nitrogen-by the ton for Sc
as fertilizer. The lime they dig
from the hills, and air-a mixture
of oxygen and nitrogen-furnlsh
the material.
Common air is forced through
powerful electric flame, and It's
two gases unite to form nitric
oxld-a gas which absorbs more
oxygen when exposed to air. BY
well known process it Is chang
ed to nitric acid, which is caused
to com bine with limestone. The
product is calcium nitrate, which
is ground into powder. 1t Is SAID
to be as good fertilizer as Chile
nitrate, which is a sodium nitrate
So great are the profits in the
business that American capital
lists are developing here differ.
ent process. They first liquefy
air, and then obtain the nitrogen
from 1t by distlllation. The nit
rogen is forced into an electric
furnace, in which coke and lime
have been caused to com bine and
form calcium carbide. The car.
bid absorbs the nitrogen, and be-
comes calcium cyanamid, valu.
able fertilizer.
1t is only within a year or so
that these artificial nitrates have
been produced IN commercial
quantities. 1t has long been
known that nitrogen could be
supplied to field by plowlng IN
a crop of clover or some other
legumIpous plant, which draws
the nitrogen from the air IN large
quantities. But by the new pro
cesses the farmer can get nitro,
gen into the soil without having
to give up the use of the land TO
a year.-Youth's Companion.

Of a very pleasing event la S t
Friday evening, when a large
mum ber of our people assembled
to celebrate the fifth adversary
of the establishment of a postof-
fee at Wells Tannery.
The assem- blage was called to
order by w. H. Baumgardner,
Esq, after which the audience
joined In singing "Amerlca." An
address of welcome was then de-
livered in happy manner by j.
W. Gibson in which he as a rep
resentatlve, of our people, abso-
lutely transferred, assigned, and
set over unto them all the rights
titles, and demands of whatsoev.
er kinds IN our celebration to
have and to hold the same for
their own use, benefit and pleas
ure. After piece of music by a
select choir, Jno. A. Wishart, Esq
delivered an address replete with
historical interest. He referred
to the fact that fifty years ago
we had but one mail a week. and
that was carried across the noun
tain on horseback. Should the
nations progress continue at the
present pace, we may expect our
al free delivery to every family in
the County, to be served by a
