The other answer lies along_the;
V *
the nittogtn to the J
soil by plant life iucoi nection wit,h j
lime. Agricultural cbem.Ms would j
call this process the bioehenntal
> effects of lime. These effects are
produced by employing leguminous
plants, socb as ctoverandcow peas,
with an abundant supply of lime to
produce their thrifty growth.
It was found that certain organ
?, Isms capable of "fixing" nitrogen
existed and that these had the
power of 'fixing' nitrogen by form
fng little nodules *t the base of the
stock of leguminons plants and
along their roots and these nodules
were colonies or cities of nitrifying
microbes. A receut writer ba.-
said:
"These interesting microbes on
every pea plant, for ant-re board
wages work full time in turning
"ever the useless atmospheric nitro
gen to the p'ant in a "fiixed" and
vseful form," Furthermore, it
was discovered that coil inoculated
with such microbes would grow
these plants even when innocent of
I «oy trace of manurial nitrogen.

ture today know that o,i ev.ry
'-even actes of the earth's surface
j there are 237 oqp tons of nitrogen
—a qu lily >ufficient to rep'ace the
-1 1.500 000 tons,of saltpetre CDii'um j
ed in iqoo. C'ir.meiical fenil z*ri
increases in price as the value of
saltpetre increases aud yet the ma
jority of farmers are using high
priced amuioniated fertilizers when
they cati put millions of microbes
to work on their farms free of cost
if they will feed tbate plants with
lime. Who will deny that this ie
the minimum of expense with the
maximum of profit? That lime is
the basis of all good husbandry is
self evident; it seems that the
man must be very dull, or very
perverse, who will not beed the
teachings of modern scit nee and
the facts that are established id the
practise of the best farmers the
world over.
Germany and England have, by
their experimental farms, demon
strated that soils can be so enriched
in nitrogen, by the use of iime and
legumes that tbe nit a cash value
in an acre will have rate contained
of hundreds of dollars and that the
soil thus enriched is like a bank of*
deposit that yields enormous divi
dend*.—R. McCoy.
