more than one hundrd and twenty were
g,athered in .the name of Jesus. That
day three thousand more acknowledged
the name, and after the healing, of tbe
lame man the millibar was increased to
five thousand. Thieogh all the me -

A yonng merchant; doing a successful
bueiness went to New York to buy goods.
He coiled on a large firm and selected
what he wished. "Have you an ac-
count?" the elerk asked. FtNo, I hate
never bought any goods from you."
"Then you must see the firm. We must.
have their authority before we. open

how much etoek he had and how little

he told the truth. They declined to give
him the goods, even. if IM gave them

the firm changed instantly. "You may
have as largo a. credit as you like," they
said, "if you bring us notes with that

INOCULKI1ON OF SEED.
The Outitrio Agricultural College has
in press a bulletin Igoin the bacterio-

since 1003, and has incroaeed ill 4=110
each yeer. It has been known for many
years that the nodules or subeecles on
the roots of alfalfa, cloven, peas, benne,
etc., are inhabited by bacteria that have
the power of taking nitrogen front the
vast amount in the atmosphere, and
storing up Oda valuable fertilizing ele-
ment in the plants, thus enriching the
soil whea these plants are plowed under.
In the college laboratory these bacteria
arc eultivifted under intiticial conditions,
their full power of nitrogen accumula-
tion beinggeneerved, and these cultures,
as they are ealled, may be applied to
the segl to be sown. An old established

It is at this season of the year that
the housing of swine becomes a more
or less difficult problem. This is more
partieularla true In regard' to the hods-
ing of sows due to farrow in the spring.
It is chiefly on the housing that. the
vigor of spring litters depends. The re-
vised edition of Bulletin No. 10 of the

question In very practicol manner. It

sums of money ia 'building elaborate

wintered their stock of all ages and con-
ditions in these structures. for one or
ttiO seasoae, the mistalce they had made
became apparent by reason of the fact
that the swine instead of showing greci-
ter vigor, exhibited. signs of ill -health in
the form of coughing, lameness, small-
ness of skin and other evidences of lack
of thrift. The chief difficulty from
these close houses is due to the lack of
