!i I I' 1MEM AND GABDEN. MATTERS OF INTERKST TO AGRICULTURISTS. Fomn Up-to-Dato Hint About Cilttlra Um of tint Roll and Yield Thereof- Iltirticiilturn, Vltleulttira mnl I'lort avltnra. IIR second talk of Dr. Kcdzlo wna upon tho "Slmplo Chcmlalry of the Fnrm." Kverythlng In tho earth Is mado tipotnboutColclndB of matter, but 00 to 99 per cent of the mass of organic matter Is composed of four only, car bon, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. Adding silicon, aluminium nnd calcium, the Eovon will mako up almoflt all of the mawi of tho world. In addition wo have the various metals, which arc of such valuo In tho arts, and potassium, phos phorus and sulphur, which aro essen tial for nil animal nnd vcgotnblo life. In plants wo find hut thirteen forms of mattor, Including sodium, magnes ium nnd chlorlno In addition to thoso named nbovc. Tho first four come almost entirely from tho air, while tho nlno mineral substances all mine from tho boII. Not all arc of equal value, as many aro in great abundance, while others aro rare. Silicon Is abundnnt In plants, but Is tho base of sand, and with aluminium, which 5a;not found In agricultural plants, .ami Is common In clny, makes up tho'grent mass of our Bolls. They form tho framework of our soils, and are nearly, If not quite, soluble. Thoy hold Uio lime, magnesia, potassium, phosphorus nnd sulphur, which arc more soluble, and enter tho plant In solution in wnter. These laBt cannot bo dlsponsed with, as no plant can grow without ' them. Upon Thursday morning Dr. Kcdzlo gavo a talk upon "Soil Exhaustion." In tho early days tho valleys of the Mohawk and the James wero thought to be Inexhaustible, but after cropping for n nnmlvjr of years the yield obtained was so" small that tho crop was not prof itable, and when that condition was reached they wero exhausted. Thero are two causes for soil exhaustion: (1) unsultablo physlcnl conditions, such as too wet or too dry, too looso or too com pact, so that thoy aro not in condition to grow crops, and (2) whon plant food is lacking. Tho soil Ib not a mine to be worked out. It must bo cultivated with reference to Its continued fertility; nnythlng else Is robbory. All soils have a supply of rcservo matter In nn in fiolublo form thnt will bo gradually drafted into service. Potash is de rived from the decomposition of the mineral Ingredients of the soil. Fcld spar.onc of tho constituents of granite, contains over 1C per cent, of potash, and ns it weathers It decomposes and produces clay, setting free a large amount of potash, of which 13.86 per cent is avnilablo an plant food. Tho greatest, danger is from tho exhaustion of tno soil nitrogen. Whllo It exists In Immensa quantities In tho air, it is In a frco state in that form It Is of no valuo to most cropB. As a rulo about 8 pounds of combined nitrogen per acre arc annually brought down in rain or snow, but this is Insufficient for farm crops. Tho humus of the soil, ob a ro sulLof nitrification, ylolds up a largo amount of combined nitrogen. Nitrates nrofjaslly washed out of tho eoil, but it can bo largely prevented If some crop If kept upon the land, as winter rye, which will take It up. Fallow land dovojops nitrogen, but a largo amount Is jynshed away. In 'his fourth lecture Dr. Kcdzlo spoko regarding "Manure nnd Fertilizers." Ho "considered barn-yard manuro as the best material for uso as a fertilizer, anujlho pivot of successful farming, Hy means of charts, tho loss of tho mn nurTal elements when It Is exposed to tho'Mvcathcr was shown. Whon kept for "ft year under tho eaves of n barn, more thnn four-fifths of tho ammonia andtucarly ns much of tho potash was lodtit In tho open air, but away from the eaves, tho loss was slightly less, butvas moro than two-thirds for tho above elements. Only about one-fourth of tho phosphoric acid was lost under either condition. Wood ashes came next in valuo as a fertilizer; 100 pounds of wood ashes fraififrom dirt will contain 8 pounds of potash and f.4 pounds of phosphoric acid and will be worth nearly 50 conts per bushel. As thoy nro seldom pure, ono-hnlf tho above will be a high price. Leached ashes have lost part of their potash, but aro generally one-third as valuable as the untouched. Thero Is little valuo In coal ashes. All tho remains of vegetables- and especially of nnlmal materials 'aro of griat value as fertilizing matorlals, a3 well as for their physical effect upon the soil, as tho capacity of tho soil to hold water depends largely upon the amount of vogetable matter it contains. Tho lack of nitrogen can be helped by growing leguminous crops, such ns clover and peas, as thoy have warts or tuborcles upon tholr roots which havo tho power of utilizing the freo nitrogen of The nir. (From Farmers' Review special re port of South Haven (Michigan) furru oret institute.) ?J tell I San Horticultural Contention. KCdhdensed from Farmers Review Stenographic Report.) 7 Mr. Williams, of DouglaF continued -his remarks as follows: In Douglas, my land consists of 60 .acres, elevated 40 to 46 feet along tho river. Tho country Is gontly rolling. Wo did not try to ubo a windmill be cause our land is so sandy that an at tempt to build a reservoir would be a failure, So wo have purchased a 10 horse power engine and 600 feet of 4 indf Iron pipe. With tho assistance of I- 'I I . . I theso wo are cnatl"d to Irrigate by dltchos. Wo wero at first greatly puz zld to know how to got over tho rav Inon and ditches in the field, for wo could not bo all the tlrflo moving that lionvy Iron pipe. Wc finally hit on a plan to make water run up hill. Wo did that by moans of a big homo-mado Iiobo constructed of duck. We put this duck hoBo on the end of an Iron plpo and lead tho water whoro wo want It. It Is so constructed that wo can couplo it quickly. Wo havo about 300 feet of" this hoso In ubo, nnd It nnswors tho purposo very well, but of course will not stand much pressure. Wo havo hnd littlo experience. In trying this on bearing fruit trees. Wo tried it on 400 peach trees, nnd thoso trees boro fruit much moro heavily than usual. Wo nlso watered nn orchnrd of cherry nnd plum trees with strawberries between tho rows. Tho strawberry plants woro about ruined when wo began tho water ing, but they revived nt once. Most of our Irrigating this last year has been on young growing trees and on common field crops, such ns peas, beans and po tatoes. We now havo our machinery nnd fields ready to begin operations the coming year. While wo realize that somo of our work Is yet in the experi mental stage, yet wo are not dlscour ngod for tho future. Wo bellovo that if tho profit to our young trees could be shown, it would bo seen that water ing them was very profitable. Q How do you Irrigate corn? A. Wc run tho water along the rows of corn and can thus water about four acres por day. In watering trees, wo can water about eight to ton acrca por dny. Tho cost of running the engine and lank is $o to ?5 per day. Q. What is tho total coat of a plant like yours with capacity to water twenty acres? A. Wc have machinery to Irrlgato eighty acres, nnd tho cost for onglno, pump and pipes would fall botween $000 nnd $1,000 ordinarily, but we got a second-hnnd engine. A 51,000-plant should Irrlgato about eighty acres. Q. In surface irrigation, at what tlmo of day Is It best to make tho appli cation of water? A. At any tlmo of day. If wo could run our plant nil night, wo would mako tho application during tho latter part of tho day. Professor Tracy. I would like to say that It is not so much the contour of tho land oa it Is tho churactcr of the soil that concerns irrigation. Somo people think thnt because they havo a Btream that Is In a good position for irrigating thcroforo they can surely irrlgato. Q. Is it possible to irrigate from a two or three-Inch well, where you havo to draw the water for seventy feet? Professor Taft. I think so, nnd If you can't do it with ono well, drive three or four nnd havo a reservoir. But that 70-foot lift is rathor a hard ques tion to consider. Professor McClcur. Thoro Is ono placo In Illinois where irrlgntlng Is be ing done, nnd that Is at the insane asy lum at Kankakee. They have thero ono pump, nnd they pump water from tho river. They have not done nny experi menting. Thoy got a man from tho Wost who was perfectly familiar with tho work of water. I happened to bo thoro this fall, and saw them Irrigating a cabbago field. They wero running tho water botween every two rows, each row being forty rods long. The wnter must have been six to eight inches in depth. They hnd watered that field from ono to three times, and they said that wno enough. They said in a general way that there was no doubt but thnt their crop was at least doublo that of last year. They used so much wnter each time that the ground was too soft to walk on. Ono could not step on it without sinking down somo distance. Tho water ran between tho rows, which were rounded up pretty well. They seemed to retain the moist ure for a long time. Cost of Iluuilllhj; Knr Corn. A gentleman from the country says that tho cost of carrying car corn ono year, or longer, 13 probably greater than many flguro it, on nccount of tho shrinkage. For Instance, tho cost of 1,000 bushels of corn at 21 cents is $210; Interest at 7 per cent, for a year, $11.70; expense of crib, $20; cost of tho torn at tho end of ono year, $214.70. But It is ostlmatcd that tho shrinkage will amount to 20 per cent., or 200 busli ols; therefore, thoro will remain but S00 bushels to sell. So $2 i 1.70 actually represents the cost of 800 bushels at tho ond of one year, or a fraction over 30 cents u bushel, without llgurlug any thing for Insurance or risk in holding showing that 21 conts now equal to about 30 cents a bushel one yonr from now. Ex. W.iteli tlm lVnrli Tree. Those of our readers who havo peach orchards will do well to begin their work during the fair weather of late winter. Experiments hao sliown that the llrst work to be dono is to pick off apd burn the mummified fruit that may still be found hanging on tho trees. Tho reason for this is that tho diseases that are likely to affect tho peach and for which we spray may havo a foot hold In this old fruit. Tho leaves aro gone and so will not prove a monace to tho new crop. Tho work la all the more necessary If the trees wero affect ed during the last season. How to Irrigate Prof. Emery writos: Much depends on the season at which water almnld bo applied to crops. On lands fn which clay predominates the water should not bo used until the grain is far onongli advanced to shade the ground, otherwiso tho surface soil will bake, to the great dotrimont of tho crops. Manifestly where wnter 1b pied on crops, it is desirable to get the Esod into the ground early, so as to hasten the period of development of the grain, whon water can be used without detri ment. Ex. HOTELS AND INSOMNIA. A I'ntacn I.o II Attraction If slurp i I Iinpmlllr. 1 Tho beauty of the new hotols erected daily at health resorts, seaBldo place and on tho Hlvlern cannot bo denied, nays n foreign oxchnngo. The windows aro light and airy, tho ceilings high, the reception-rooms superb, and np pnlnttnonts of bedroonm and bathrooms luxurious nnd costly. No rensonnblo expense Is spared, and yet thoso splen did, palatial abodos are often deserted by Invalids nnd comfort-lovers for tho more homoly and dowdry hostelrlea. Tho reason of this is not far to seek. Most of these hotels are intolerably noisy. They nro run up lightly, tho wnllH aro thin, tho floors arc neither firo nor sound-proof, so thnt to dwell In them is rnthcr like living under a sounding-board or being compressed In to n box with voices all around you. The now spring locks of tho doors nnund like miniature cannon going off. thero is tho inevitable man overhend who goes to bed late nftor a cheerful bout of boot-throwing nnd dragging of portmanteaus, while he whistles loudly or talks in a high baritone to his friend next door. Then beside you Is thr early rler. who takes n walk before breakfast, and is preparing for a pedestrian or bicy cling tour. The waiter whispers In hoarse tones of the chambermaid out Hlde. while she pertly rattles cans and baths aB a flirtation accompaniment In response. To the weary invalid in search of rost and sleep Uiofo thing nro unspeakably annoying. What Is n palace in which vou cannot close yo" eyes In comparison to the humble cot where gentle slumber courts the weary yelldn? Insomnia Is the growtng malady of tho ago. Thomas Cnrlislo began the agonizod moan of rebellions nature nnd It has gone on forever (since. Sleep Is tho one boon, the ono com forter, for which we of these latter days crave, and when wo go faint and weary to the seashore or to the glowing south ern land of oranges it is pertinaciously denied us. "llrat NlBlitnr" it the Station. It is interesting to see the emotion betrayed by a man who has been ar rested for tho first tlmn and who has to stay In tho station house all night. The white man who Is a llttjo nbovo tho groat unwashed will shrink In hor ror from tho black hole, lie will gen erally ask to bo allowed to stay out side tho office. Thin request cannot bo granted. The colored woman generally rrles. The tough negro wants to fight before lie goes In. So does the tough white man. Tho more respectable negro will not sny anything until after ho has been placed In the roll, then ho will fall on his knees and pray. Whlto women generally cry and Bomo of them lie down on the floor nnd have to bo dragged Into tho cell. Taking every thing In there aro some unique char acters among tho "first nlghters." It does not tnke them long to learn tho ways, though, nnd on their second visit they generally go through tho routlno without being directed. Loulsvlllo Commercial. A Sinnll r.l(Ttrlrl;W!. The smallest and at tho same time the youngest electrician in tho world Is a fox terrier nnmer Strip, belonging to a firm of elpctric light engineers in London. Sho Is only 3M years of age and her business is to carry tho wires through tho narrow tubes which con nect tho dynamos nt tho central station with the private houses, which duty sho performs with tho greatest skill and quickness, never falling to find her way through tho most intricate pas sages. According to her owners she is tho most valuable accessory to tholr business and they would hnve great difficulty In doing their work without her. Of this tho little dog seems qulto certain, for bIio Is very vain nnd may be seen strutting about as if the wholo place belonged to her. Exchange. An IWtiMVUKiint Court. A French antiquarian has brought to light Rome Interesting dressmaker's bills of the ladles of Napoleon's couit. Thoy nro from the account books of Leroy, the Worth of his time In matters of dress and a bad fellow generally, but an undisputed arbiter of taste In femlnlno raiment. It appears that Jos ephlno's yearly bill was about $30,000, ond this was a greater amount than Mario Loulso or Queen Hortonse dared or desired to opend. Napoleon's mother was not a. patron of Leroy, which is ex plained by tho fact that sho preferred to receive her dresses from her daughters rather than purchaso them herself. lllfiiclilnc Cotton. A new apparatus for blenching cotton cloth has recently been introduced in a foreign cotton mill. Tho cloth, after being soaked in brine, is paused be tween two rollers, one of iron, tho other of carbon, serving as electrodes and being proporly connected to n source of auluulent electrical energy. The salt is decomposed by the curront into chlo rine, tho bleaching agent, nrid caustic soda. The latter is absorbed by a wet blanket running oor the Iron roller. Tim UnxTKll Torpedo. The new Howell torpodo was tried officially in December at Newport be fore tha torpedo board of th navy. Tho torpedo made about ttvonty-Ight knots an hour for a raugo of COO yards, being submerged four and onMiulf feet." The trUl was very satlafactory. "Tli Sign of tlm Croit."

Chicago Chronicle: The Illtt com mittee of the house of representatives wants censuro pronounced upon Thom as F. Bayard. It is characteristic of republicans that whenever they havo the power they seek to deny the freedom of speech. Adams tried it in tho alien and sedi tion bill, Adams being a federalist, the precursor of the republican party of to day. During the war of the rebellion tho republican party in the state department rang Its little bell and every Tom, Dick and Harry tho country over who raid things that were not relished by tho administration was sent to any ono of tho numerous fortifications of the Unit ed States. There is no attempt by tho 1IIU com mittee to aiiBwer the speech of Mr. Bay ard. There is merely insistence that he shall bo rebuked for speaking. Let us thru to Mr. Bayard's speech for tho purposo of ascertaining what ho said that so wrings tho withers of the republican parly: "In my own coun try," said Mr. Bayard in an address on individual freedom delivered before tho Edinburgh Philosophical institution on Nov. 7 last, "I havo witnessed tho in satiable growth of that form of stato socialism styled protection, which I be lieve has dono more to foster class leg islation and create inequality of for tune, to corrupt public life, to banish men of Independent mind and character from tho public councils, to lower tho tone of nntlonal representation, blunt public conscience, create false stand ards In the popular mind, to familiarize it with reliance upon state aid and guar dianship In private affairs, divorc eth ics from politics and placo politics upon the low level of a mercenary scramble, than any other single cause." Mr. Bayard is right, though ail tho Hltts In congress were to thunder through their committees in the house of representatives to the contrary. They ask that tho gag law shall bo applied to statesmen who utter truths eternal. They can succeed becauso they control tho house, but the more it is sought to stiflo tho voice of conscience and honor find true statesmanship the more the truth will be pronounced. The little Lilliputians of the house are seeking to tlo down tho Gulliver at St. James. Will They Practice Ilronomy".' Chicago Chronicle: Senator Frye of Maine says in the hearing of the coun try that tho tariff bill Is us dead as Julius Caesar. Didn't Mr. Frye, didn't every n pub lican, didn't Speaker Reed, didn't Ding ley, chairman of the ways and means committee, know that that tariff bill was never presented with tho Idea thnt it would live? Did they not know that It was a mere play before the country, a pretense and a fraud? That tariff bill died a-bornln'. It was as dead as Julius Caesar before it left tho house. Republican statesmen assert that tho country is falling In arrears, that thero is an increasing deficit by reason of a diminution of receipts. If that is bo and tho measure designed to increase revenues is as dead as Julius Caesar, what are republican statesmen to do about the matter? An obvious way is open to them. They can retrench. From tho example the ccuntrj had of a Reed congress, which reached $1,000. 000,000 of appropriations, not much may be hoped, but the statesmen, ac cording to their own showing, aro con fronted by an absolute necessity. Wherefore, If thero Is any relish of sal vation in them, they must resort to tho ono possible means out of the difficulty. Thoy must economize. Until congress shall have adjourned we will not know what tho appropria tions are, but appearances indicate thai beforo it adjourns this congress will make total appropriations larger thah over were ventured before. They will make them not because tho country needs them, but becauso congressmen want tho rake-off In tholr districts from river and harbor appropriations, from public buildings, from privnto pension bills, from all those means which con gressmen learn are personally beneficial to themselves In a political way. Having accomplished nothing thus far, tho republican congress has con fessed its inability to make affirmative legislation looking to an increase of rev enuo, which It says is necessary. Let us now look to sec what in the way of needed economy it can accomplish. What Iliivo Republican Dour? Chicago Chronicle: With groat dour ihh of trumpets tho republicans, who held vast majority in the house of rep resentatives and organized tho senate of tho United Stntes. told tho people of this country what they proposed to do. Well, what havo they done? In ses sion since tho first day of December last, whnt havo they done? May wo not havo some specification? They pro fessed themselves to be wonderfully gifted in tho mattor of creating public confidence. Increasing public revenues, making ovorybody, whatever his busi ness and however conductod, rich and happy. But what have they done? Let us try if wo can got down to a specifica tion. If thoy are competent, surely threo months ought to domonstrao thnt by their fruits they are justified in their claim. Will thoy tell us of anything they havo done? Tho house passed a tariff measure. The senate now gives practically public uotloo that tho tariff measure shan't go through. Tho house, instead of moot ing tho recommendation of tho execu tive, who understood tho situation and who did not ask for a tariff bill, lint did ask for sound legislation on too money question, passed a ridiculous bill of Its own. That tho republican sonnto sent back with a free coinage measure. But whoro Is tho affirmative- legisla tion? Where is anything accomplished? What has Mr. Reed dono nB speaker and what have all tho great republican statesmen of tho senate dono? They have been sitting in congress for ninety days and where nro the results of their capacity? Not a measure of public concern and utility hOB been perfected. This repub lican house and this republican sonnto stands before this country as utterly Imbecile nnd impotent as nny body of statesmen ever nppcared before a con stituency whom they had deceived by repeated assertions of their ragarlty and their prowess. Tho republican majority in congress is an utterly fruitless majority. It lias boasted much, it has accomplished nothing. From Lincoln to T.nrlmer. Chicago Chronicle: A few years ago Hempstead Washburne, being then mayor of Chicago, kicked out of tho city employment a man. named Ix)rimcr. Time has pasred and tho leading re publican journal of Chicago presents to its readers an interview with thlf same Lorlmer, now a statesman at Washington, stating that in his opin ion the people of Chicago have honored him sufficiently, both locally and in a national sense, and he is perfectly con tent to remain one or their representa tives in congress nnd abstain from look ing after tho United States senatorship. In no other party that ever was hcaid of, ever formed amongst men, ever tol erated among honest people, save the republican party, would such a situa tion be possible. This discarded serving man in the city hall, quietly consideiing in tho columns of tho leading republican jour nal not only of Chicago but of tho United States whether or. not he will take tho place which Lincoln sought after in vain and which Douglas long occupied. Even In this interview Mr. Lorlmer la patronizing. He will give the senator ship to Mr. Hopkins, a sop to that gen tleman, doubtless, to soothe him for his defeat by Tanner. But what comes of the promise made repeatedly and earnestly by the same machine of which Lorlmer is a con trolling part, that after the selection of Cuilom thero would be recognition by the republican party that a colleague must be sent to Cuilom from Chicago? Chicago, it is npparcnt, then, is to bo ignored, even the renowned kicked-out clerk in the water office sacrificing him self to soothe tho troubled soul of Hop kins of Aurora. There was a time in Illinois when the republican party did havo tho breed of noblo bloods and gave them play and scope beforo all the people. And now a Lorlmer leads tho republican party by .the nose. Only One r.)liinutloii lNn-til,!,'. New York World: Tho McKinloy editors open their campaign with tho astonishing claim that woolen mills in this country aro closing because the wicked democrats untaxed their raw material. The editors insist that wool en manufacturers cannot thrivo unless tho cost of wool is enhanced by a fax. They fail to explain how it is that the woolen mills or every other country in the world, even those having protective tariffs, managed to thrive with freo wool. Nor do they tell why our cotton, silk, leather and boot and shoe manu facturers get on so well with untaxed raw materials. The real explanation of tho alleged phenomenon is the old one; "Tho boy lied." Cnnnot Itlne Aliovo Party I'oliticM. Indianapolis Sentinel: Who ever saw a more pitiable spectacle of incompe tency and imbecility than is presented by the present congress? It has not nn idea above politics, and politics at that of the cheapest and worst kind. It would not even havo gone through tho farce of a pretended consideration of tho evils of our money system if the president had not lashed it into action by a special message. At no time has It risen to tho level of statesmanship. At no time has It sliown even a decent Interest in tho welfare of the sixty mil lions of peoplo for whom it is supposed to legislate. CJuay Taking Kvprythlng In Sight. Springfield Republican: Generals Har rison and Alger continue to smllo and say, ''No, I thank ou," but Mr. Quay is accepting overything that is passed bib way and rapidly reaching out for more. Tho Pittsburg papers call attention to the fact that of tho, forty delegates now elected to the republican convention the largest number are pledged to Quay, while the solid republican south is ex pected to go for him In great "blocks of five." His campaign is apparently being taken seriously In Pennsylvania A Clinngn or Pnllry. Birmingham News: McKInley says that the republican party -stands for a commercial policy that will whiten every sea with the sails of American vessels Hying tho American flag.'-' If this is true it is quite nn improvement over tho republican policy that has heretofore been In vogue, by which nearly evory American flag and sail has been driven from tho high seas.
