When the chemist, Ruthford,
133 years ago, emerged from his
studio, filled with pots, cruci
bles, blowpipes and mysterious
compounds that were regarded
by the common people of Eog-
lauu as tue unettjaa love ui an
impractible recluse, and an
nounced that he had discovered
another element in the makeup
of the material world, they paid
no attention to it, not deeming
it worthy of their notice. They
saw in this new stuff witheut
taste, color or odor nothing that
could possibly assist them in
f 1! je ' . . a
providing iooa. doming or
shelter for themselves or fam
ilies. So far as thoy could see, it
looked just like air. lis long
Greek name had no significance
to them and was regarded only
as a device of the learned to
keep them from knowing any.
thing about it,
This stuff composes four fifths
of the air we breath and ia called
nitrogen. You cannot open a
volume on animal or vegetable
growth or decay but the word is
found ou most every page, for it
has been found by actual test
that nitrogen forma the most
important constituents of the
solids and fluids of the animal
body, and also in many kinds of
vegetables. This faot being
made known, farmers who are
raising children or growing or
keeping domestic animals have
become interested in nitrogen, a
knowledge of which enables him
to select and provide the most
nutritious food for their families
or animals, for food that does
not contain some compound of
nitrogen is almost valueless
in the production of bone, mus
cle h,sir, nails, horns ot hoofs.
Plants that contain the largest
quantity of nitrogen are not only
more valuable for food but also
for fertilizing the gro-.iud. It is
because clover and all the bean
or pod bearing class of plants
contain so much nitrogen that
they are so highly esteemed in
fertilizing worn out farms and
restoring them to productiven es
Late experiments by a pack
ing house iu California have
shown that to place ripetruitin
an air tight vessel and then by
au air pump draw out all the air
and after filling the vecum with
nitrogen gass and seal it up
that the fruit will keep without
change in taste, or fermenting
for an indefinite length of time.
This is a very important dis
covery and one that bids fair to
be of vast benefit to fruit grow
ers as it will enable them to ship
ripe, eatable fruit or berries for
thousands of miles where they
ean be kept as fresh and palate-
able as when plucked from the
tree, for a long time.
Thus it has come to pass that
the discovery of nitrogen which
farmers, fruit (growers and con
sumers, in 1772 thought of no
consequence to them was in re
ality the unsealiug of one of
natures great secrets that in 1905
ed fields, rear larger and strong
er domestic animals and Bhip
fruits to customers thousands of
miles from the orchards as fresh,
fragrant and luscious as when
gathered. The curio that the
farmers of 133 years ago laugh
ed at as a useless toy, today is
considered an indespensible
element in keeping perannual
fertility in their fields and flavor
in their fruits. , The 'plaything
has changed from curio to a
use.
