The mystery of nitrification Is now so well known that any farmer can understand it. Plants live on nitrogen, but apparently have no powder to take it, either from the air or the soil. Here the nltrogenrbacteria get in their work. These microbes, like atomic sponges, take in the nitrogen from the soil- and the air, and transform it into nitric acid, in which form the plant can consume it. A soil may be destitute of nitrogen, and need both that and the microbes, or it may lack only tbe microbes, in wjhich case a supply of them renders the field immediately fertile. Stable manure has little but swarms with the germs nitrogen, of microbes. Add to a field where clover seed will not "catchy a light dressing of soil from a plot where clover thrives to perfection, land a catch of clover seed is almost sure to result. Why? Because the 'soil added is full of the germs of microbes that enable the young clover plant to avail itself of the. nitrogen In ground and air. Orange Judd (Farmer. Disposing- of Mnnnre. The most inexcusable of all wasteful, negligent habits on, the part of the average farmer Is the matter of disposing of the manure which accumulates about the barn and stables. It must be taken care f and hauled out to the fields and pastures, sooner or later; then why not do it before its most valuable fertilizing properties are lost? Prompt attention to this matter not only promotes cemfort and gives an appearance of cleanliness and thrift but the gain in the average farm will be sufficient every year to pay the wages of a good extra farm hand th year round. It Is not worth as much when left to leach and waste around the stable as it would be if hauled while fresh upon the fields. On most farms the winter presents the most economic time for hauling manure, and the pleasant days of winter can be put to no better use. The roads are good, the teams unemployed, and the farmer himself has plenty of time for his work. Denver Field and Farm. - boyhood days all his leisure time, and he had not much of it, was devoted to reading books of travel and adven- tmc, anil u lougea 10 De in Airica, tne holy land, or some remote spot of the worm, following in the footsteps of some great traveler or historic hero, reading whose experiences had fired young Knox's Imagination. It was clear that farming had no charms for him, and he seized the earliest opportunity of abandoning the occupation. He saved a little money out of his wages as a farmer's hired boy, and continued to improve himself by study and by going to school. When 23 years old he held the responsible position of principal of an academy in Kensington, N. H. Gold had been discovered in Colorado, and Thomas W. Knox wended his way thither. He soon found the of occupation gold digging hard and unso he went to Denver, and certain, there became a reporter, and afterward city editor of the Denver Daily News. When the civil war broke out Colonel Knox became a war correspondent in the field for the New York Herald. He was a volunteer aid in two campaigns, and received a commission as lieutenant colonel on the staff of the governor of California. He was wounded in a skirmish in Missouri, and at the close of the war went to New York to become a Journalist and general writer. Under the title of "Camp Fire and Cotton Field" some of his letters from the seat of war were republished in 1865. Colonel Knox joined the regular staff ef the New York Herald, and under its auspices made his first journey around the world. In 1S66 an expedition was sent out by an American compamylo- construct a telegraph line through northern Asia. Colonel Knox accompanied it. He traveled by way of Pacific ocean.

He began this in 1877, going to Japan, China, Siam, Java, India and Egypt once more, reaching Paris in time to serve as a member of the international Jury at the Paris Universal Exposition of 1878. Perhaps the opinion of a king should not have more weight than that of any other person. Nevertheless, the king of Siam wrote to Colonel Knox that "The Boy Travelers in Siam" was the best account ever published of that kingdom, and conferred on him the decoration of the Order of the White Eleof Its merits.
