cases to the destruction of microscopic 

 forms of animal life which feed upon 

 the useful bacteria. "When these ani- 

 mals are destroyed the bacteria in- 

 crease enormously, with marked bene- 

 fit to the soil. Investigations in Eu- 

 rope and at the- Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station in Khode Island show 

 that sodium, if present in fertilizers, 

 whether as nitrate of soda or as com- 

 mon salt in association with muriate 

 of potash and kainit, is of use to cer- 

 tain plants if the supply of potash is 

 insufficient, whereas there are cases of 

 plants which show but little, if any, 

 ability to benefit by it. 



New Ways of Obtaining Nitrogen. 



Kecent utilization of great water- 

 falls for the generation of powerful 

 electrical currents has made it possible 

 to combine the gaseous nitrogen of 

 the atmosphere in such a way that 

 calcium cyanide, calcium nitrate, am- 

 monium sulphate and ammonium ni- 

 trate are now coming onto the market 

 as plant foods. The nitrogen of the 

 air surrounding the earth, which could 

 formerly be utilized through the aid 

 of leguminous plants, may now, there- 

 fore, b3 made our priceless possession 

 for the nutrition and maintenance of 

 the human race. 



Experiments by Loew show that it 

 is sometimes of great importance to 

 add lime to soils for the purpose of 

 counteracting the effects of an unusual 

 amount of magnesia. There may also 

 be cases where the addition of mag- 

 uesia to a soil may be beneficial on 

 account of the lime being in excess. 

 The requirements in these particulars 

 vary with different plants. 



Marion, 111. — Mrs. M. L. Copeland, 

 proprietress of the Marion Greenhouses, 

 was married recently to John Ilodaly, 

 of Sycamore. Mr. Hodaly came to this 

 country from Hungary seven years ago 

 to study agricultural methods of the 

 west. He liked the conditions so well 

 that he decided to remain, and after 

 taking a course in floriculture in an 

 eastern university he became florist for 

 the Great Falls Floral Co., at Great 

 Falls, Mont. Subsequently he was as- 

 sociated with William Swinbank, of 

 Sycamore, 111.
