! The Bible at the Exposition,

On the opening dag of the exposition
more than Is. 900 people, among them
Arabs, Turks, Chinese and japanese,
received copies of the scrip ures. No
sooner were the windows of the Bible
stand open than crowds focked to share
in the distribution. Language" says
a witness, utterly fails to adequately
depict the solemnity and impressivenoss
of the scene. Let the reader imagine
thousands of men and women, soldiers,
sailors, officers, policemen, priests, rich
and poor, persons Of all ranks and from
all countries. struggling for portion of
the word of God, with, in almost every
instance, an expression of joyful thanks
as the pflze was borne away. Perhaps
the best idea of the eagerness OF the
populace may be gathered from the fact
of the windows of the kiosk having to
be closed more than dozen times to
lessen the pressure.

How to use Fertilizers.


In general, the use of single fertiI-
izer will be found profitable in a farm
practice only in connection with ma
nure or on land in strong heart, and
the poor farmer will never succeed in
enchancing the cropping capacity OF
his farm to an increased profitable posi-
tion through the use of one fertilizer
alone. Much of the discredit which
artificial fertilizers have won, from
non appreciation of the fact that they
cannot snpersede dung. but must be
used in connection with other plant
food. A snperpAosphate or nitrogen
Gus, or potassic manure can always
find place on farm, hut can never take
the place of manure in farm practice,
and the sooner this false hope is de-
stroyed the better it is for all concern
ed. A mixture of chemicals or other
elements containing the food that
plants require does however offer prom.
ise of practical results ON the farm, and
can be offered iu competition with
dung, SO far as the result in crops is
concerned. This. then, in the prom
ise Of the complete fertilizer; il the
farmer has dung sufficient for five acres
only, and wishes to cultivate ten or
more, in addition to what his dung sup
ply will allow. then he must rely ON the
complete fertilizer for every acre in ad-
dtion to what his dung win cover. The
experience of ages have shown the re
liability Of dung; all the best modern
experiments We have to show the efficacy
of mixture Of chemicals IN takingt the
place OF dung. provide they supple
ment the soil supply SO as to furnish to
the crops the elements shown by analy-
sIs to exist in dung. We cannot fairly
compare superphosphate in its re-
suits with dung; single element with
complete fertilizer. The recognition
Of this factb farmers will make lev-
olution in farming, and will disperse
much of the fog which interested par
ties have thrown about the question of
fertilizers. In final word, all the
best experience and experiments, as We
interpret their meaning, point certain
ly to the facts we now claim, that the
single fertilizing element must find its
profitable use in connection with other
manures, while the complete fertilizers
alone can be expected to furnish mater
al in form for farm practice, and it is
the only means of artificial fertilization
as yet discovered which offers
means Of extending an arabic land be-
yond the ability OF the dung heaps to-
supply. - e 'ta. 'H1 b7zaat
