A Washington dispatch of the ;slSt
gives .he following as the prime cause
of the disruption between President
Garfield and Ex-senator Conkling:
The fact which decided the president
TO nominate Mr.. Robertson as collector
has at last become known, and it must
remove the doubts of large number
of those who haye questioned the policy
of the president first step, even while
supporting Mr.. COnkling. 1t appears
that it had been determined to appoint
Mr.. Robertson to some prominent office
in New York and this conclusion had
been reached before the first batch of
nominations for that state were made.
Just at this time the president was Civ
en- to understand in a way which ad-
mitted of no mistake that Mr.. Conkling
wonld insist upon controlling the Gus
tom house appointment whenever
change should he made. As soon as the
president became convinced of this he
decided to make change in the Gus
ton. house at once and have the fight
out on the threshold Of his administra-
tion. rather than to have it injected in
to the middle of his term, as it would
have been hadh he waited until Merritt's
term expired.
Abe Hart, colored convict, releas-
ed under the "Three Fourths law and

Potash i'm the Soil, Etc.

Editor Of The Florida Agrfcultu'fst:
Professor Caldwell says that in a
series OF analysis OF eighteen samples
of soil, there was found an average of
900 pounds of potash in the soil OF
an acre within one foot from the sur
face. Another series of twenty-five
soils analysed indicated an average OF
1,200 pounds to the acre. One OF
them, however, was exceptional, con-
tanning nearly 1000 pounds. This
soil was said to have produced wheat
twenty-six years without manuring.
Professor Caldwell also gives the
following most important ana com
tortiug statement "There is almost
no loss of potash from the soil by the
teaching effect of the water that
passes through and escapes by the
drains or the porous subsoIl; but
mere traces OF this substance are to
be found in drainage waters, there
fore, whatever potash there is il the
soil remains there until taken up by
the crops, and whatever is in the soil,
however soluable in water and ex.
posed to teaching soon passes into
other and difficult soluable forms of
com biuation; the soil iocAs up-So-
curely all the potash intruSted to
it, and yet not SO securely that the
| plants cannot get it,"
This must be true or the stock of
potash in the earth would soon he
irrecoverably lost in the ocean. 1t
also shows why our high rolling pine
land witch has had its wire grass
annually burnt off for ages, ,hasretained
securely the potash which now causes
such remarkable growth OF orange
trees.
As potash is one of three tlnda,
mental principles in vegetation, l am
sure your subscribers would be glad
to see articles in your esteemed
paper on the subject; the various
kinds used for fertilization of garden
truck and orange trees their pcculi-
arities, comparative value and cost !;

use in the case spoken tt is over two
and a bali ounces 70 the cubic foot Of

bear the same quantity Of Kainit or
Muriate of potash is an interesting
question.
ARTI FICIAL FERTILIZATION EXPERI-
MENT.
A kernel of wheat was planted on
January 1st, 1877, in bottle Of solu.
tion containing to one gallon of pure
water the following substances 45.9
grains of muriate OF potash, 9.5 grains
sulphate OF magnesia, 1876 grains OF
phosphate OF soda, S8.9 grains nitrate
OF lime, and few drops of muriale
of iron. the plant was harvested
July 2, 1877. 1t titled well, had
about dozen ear bearing stalks aud
ripened sixty-two fairly formed and
plump kernels. 1t was found that
such solution, TO obtain a vigorous
and abundant growth, must he very
dilute. In this instance the gallon
of solution contained 5S.3S5 grains OF
water and l63 grains of salt, or 1000
OF water 10 3 OF salt. Increased
proportions OF salt decreased growth.
Two or one part of suitable salt to
1000 OF water gives the best results,
and ten parts were nearly fatal TO
growth.
