Experiments with Sllcatbi. Within the last three years there has

appeared on the market, In New York, a commercial article called Nitragin. It is manufactured in Germany and is •shipped from there to the agents that handle it in this country. It is without doubt a good thing, in itself, but its use In this country has been attended with varying success. This partial failure has been due to the fact that Nitragin is a perishable article a^can be depended on to keep only a few months, and then it must not be exposed to high temperatures,, else it will-heat and the fermentation that follows will destroy every vestige of Ms value.

• This .,; Nitragin consists of minute germs of clover root bacteria lield in liquid, doubtless With water, for its base. The inoculation of soil takes place when the clover seed to be sown is dipped in this liquid. A bottle of the liquid will" soak enbugh seed to sow a little over half an acre. As we have said, the results have not been always good, as the liquid, has frequently spoiled before it" reached the man that was to use. it The''reports on it have therefore been often against it, the Inoculated seed dolngô better than the unlnoculated. see&r.; Wider experiments, however, ;>hi£®- shown that this Nitragin is of gi&it value when two conditions are ^reseflit'; namely, if the soil is sterlte'jof clover bacteria germs, and if t&r Nitra-

• gen is in proper _. coniUtion, frhen it is applied to' the ' seed.- .^ Of course, if the field In; which the clover is to be sown has all the hk'qtecla It needs the addition pt%ore^|li be. of no consequence. But in sections of the country the farmers^ tire utterly unable to grow clover, and ii Is now quite conclusively proven that, the' reason is that the" soil lacks entirely the bacterial germ growths . riecessary. Professor Duggar of the Alabama Experiment Station asserts /that there' iias never been a plant that, had die-ippointed the South more than crim-•on clover. as it had widely :-arid per-, sisrtently failed even whererit -should have been successful. .At last It was; discovered that the only reason fof~its failure lay In the fact th£t%e soil on which the. seed was sown had; ho "lover tubercle-bacteria. Experiments were undertaken at the station to demonstrate the fact.

Pour lots.of ground, each one-twentieth of an acre in size, were selected.-On lots 1 and 3 was sown-the crimson clover seed that had. been soaked in Nitragin.. Lots 2 and 4 received untreated seed. On lots 2 and 4 the crimson-made as big a failure as it had l.n most parts of fhe south, and much Df what little growth it did make was due to a little washing of the tubercle bacteria from the other ploft. Lots 2 and 4 produced onlya weak growth of crimson clover two to four inches high , and too weak and' smalt -to stand cutting with scythe of mower... On

» plots 1 and 3 the growth was luxuriant, th? plants being from 22 to 26 inches high and well-branche'd. The foliage waa deep green and the blooms were brilliant. Oh the other plots the plants were yellowish and the blooms few, small and near the ground. When the four plots were cut and weighed the contrast was seen to be great The inoculated plots had borne at the rate of 14,039 pounds to the acre, and the unlnoculated plots at the rite of 2,293 to the acre, or only about one-seventh as much as the other. This was not all. The experiment plate lay side by aide and in harrowing some of the inoculated seed on plats 1 and 3 was dragged^ over onto the other plots. Also there was some washing of the seed from the Inoculated to the unlnoculated plots. So it happened dh some of the edges and in a water furrow of the unlnoculated plots the clover grew ranK. and high and was put and weighed, with the clover tin toe plate on which It grew. It is therefore probable that the plots that had the treated seed produced ten times as much as the others. .The whole subject is interesting as

pointing out the cause of frequent fail-, urea to get catches of clover. We would also suggest that experiments at the stations be carried out with more care. One would naturally ask why these plots were placed side by side, when It IS well known that bacteria of any kind , are easily and rapidly carried for at least short distances. An-

, other criticism Is that the Same harrow was permitted to be used on the plats, for It must certainly happen

-that the harrow teeth would result to some extent in making the totals of the experiments uncertain.

There are few forests of large trees in India. There, as here, it is lire that destroys the timber. In the United States the annual growth of forest trees creates more lumber than is needed "for commercial use. One government official said, in the presence of the writer: "I have seen a single fire in Colorado that-burned up more timber than was used in tlie United States in that year, and thei'e have been several such fires in Colorado in my day."

Australia is taking preliminary steps to establish a fruit trade with England and other European countries, and-promises to be an' enterprising" rival of the. United States. The Australian fruit growers propose to import into England in large quantities not only apples, pears and the harder fruits, but such'so;ft fruits as peaches and grapes.

.They-have gone about it In a systematic manner. They first laid a plan for shipping good-sized consignments -in the" refrigerators of the steamers sailing to England. . The outbreak of the Boer War - necessitated giving up' the plan for last season, as the refrigerators of the steamers were taxed to their full capacity for other things. The. Australians had planned to send to England over 5,000 ca8e#ej frult of different kinds. As they were shut oft at the last moment front' actually making the consignments, they determined to. make a trial on. land, putting the fruit In chambers where the temperature would be kept as low. as It would be in the refrigerators of" the steamers. The time required in making the trip from. Melbourne to Liverpool is about eight weeks, but the fruit men- made the limit- ten weeke to provide for delays in shipping and discharging. ' The' trial proved a com-£ iflet'e success, -with iiie exception of" peaches, . about one-half of which spoiled. Hence, we may expect that another season; will see some large shipments of Australian fruit to England. American producers of fruit will have to be on the alert if: they wish to prevent a large part of their very profitable foreign fruit trade slipping away from them .and going into the hands of the Australians. The fact that the - Australian suminer begins in December and that their fruit is ready, for gathering in March and April gives them'a peculiar advantage over us. Their shipments will arrive in Liverpool In May, June, July and August, and their winter apples may be depended on to keep as late as Christmas. If the Australian apples are equal in flavor to the American apples the English buyers will not be very hungry for fruit when our shipments ^rrive. Of course the thing works both ways, but as we have the built of the trade now any change must work to our disadvantage. The moral of the situation is. that we must grow the quality of fruit that suits the English narket, at least enough of it to fill the demand for export goods. We also believe that the United States government should take seme, such, steps to foster our foreign fruit trade as Denmark has taken to build up her butter trade. An agent should be permanently located in England to look after, the trade ahd see that American goods are up to demand in quality. We know from reports from England that some of the fruit sent to England has disgusted ; buyers there. The yellow insipid peaches from California- that were last year dumped on the London market did much damage to the American trade in export peaches, and it is against our interests that jaucb Incidents should frequently °°cur- fy -

Cannonading Ball Storm*. Consul Covert, at Lyons, sends to

the state department ah interesting report on an effort being made in that section of France to dissipate hall

, storms by firing cannon at the clouds. Fifty-two cannon, manned by 104 cannoneers, have been distributed over 2,500 acres of rich vine land. For the expense of the experiment the government of France appropriated f386, the departmental council f289, the National French Agricultural Society 92,316, and number of wealthy wlê producers added1 fourteen more cannon. A high point in the vine land to be covered by. the experiments was selected as a central post of observation ahd a signal code was adopted. When a shot Is heard from the central post all the cannon are fired, at first twice per minute and then more slowly after the first ten shotsi These, experiments have proved So satisfactory that organised forces will; be established: In places heretofore ravaged by hall, and they will .bombard the clouds whenever they get angry. The wine growers are organising to attack the hail storms in many of the great vine lands of France. It is said that the practice of shooting at the clouds'was known in France oyer a hundred yean ago and that it originated in Itely, It Is to be more extensively carried on this year than ever before,

IIIBUIII. It is not always an easy matter to

discover the cause of stumbling in driving horses; hence it is a good plan to make a study of the matter and be prepared to make a proper examination of the animal that is giving trouble from this bad habit We have called it a habit, for that is often the case, and especially so where the horse has become fat from over-feeding and lack of exercise, and we see the same thing in many horses driven by women who are loath to use the whip and dp not, as a rule, "keep the horae up to the bit," with the result that he acquires a slovenly way of going and, bo-ing half asleep, stumbles whenever he comes to an object that is above the level of the road." The cure for these patients is to."waken them up" and, it fat from the use of corn, feed them upon a ration of sound old oats and bran, along with good hay.

Another common cause of stumbling, and perhaps the commonest cause of all, is the practice of the smith la leaving the toes too long at each shoe* ing time, and of cutting down the heels. After doing this he fits the shoe with a high toe as well as heels, which prevents any chance that the horse would „otherwise have had of "getting over" the long toe, which acts as a fulcrum, requiring an added degree of leverage, which naturally becomes tiresome and puts a strain upon the back tendons. The result is that, while the horse may tor a time go well enough, he begins to stumble as soon as he. becomes tired and this ends in broken knees, possibly broken shafts, and quite frequently smashed check lines and saddle hooks. The remedy Is not, as some seem to think, the high checking of the. horse, tor this only tires him the sooner, and he will surely stumble when he becomes tired. The cure is to cut down the toe all it will stand at each shoeing and leave the heels and quarters alone; then fit on a shoe .that has no toe calking, but a pair of' heels that raise, the heels of the foot a trifle, or to some extent rwfieikthe hablt is a bad one.
