SOIL BACTERIA.

As the poisoning of the harmful bacteria in the soil may injuriously affect useful plants, a French agri- culturist has proposed the use of vol- atile poisons, which evaporate after sterilizing the soil, ready for plant ing. Effective sterilizers have been found in copper salts, iron sulphate, formal, carbolic derivatives, and car bon disulphide, but these are to be applied with due regard to the char acter of the soil, of the crop expected and of the germs likely to do harm. The iron and copper salts, for in- stance, are rendered inert by chem ical reaction with ca!carcous soils.
