Fertilizers.

l notice an inquiry in regard to spread
ing fertilizers, which, while it is sufili.
emily answered in its proper place, vet
leads me to remark something. l do not
approve of fertilizing or manuring in the
hill. 1t is a make-shilt at the best, and
is slow, laborious, and costly work. 1t
is done mostly for the sake of economy.
But it is a poor economy. One very i'm
portant purpose in manuring the soil is
the benefit of the future crops, and this
is missed altogether in hill or drill ferti
lizing. When the soil has been we'll
MANFRED a special fertilizer may be use
fully applied in the hill or the drill, and
it will have the good effect of starting a
vigorous growth, which will be kept up
and maintained by the manure in the
soil. But when the fertilizer is alone
used, it wonld be great mistake to put
it in the hill or drill, because in tn, t
case the plant would have very sma |
feeding space, in which the roots won d
be punched in a mass, and from which
they would not spread into the adjacent
soil, because there would be nothing
there to encourage them. Now, Il 9
chief value of an artificial fertilizer, in
my opinion, is first, to give the plant
something to start on; second, to en-
courage the roots to spread far and wide
in the soil third, to exert solvent effect
upon the soil and so make it available to
furnish plant-food and fourth, to so
strengthen and invigorate the plant that
1T can use its natural capacity for disin-
tegrating the soil by its own roots and
so produce food to supply its needs
For it is a ell-established fact that a
strong, sturdy plant will actually feed
upon solid stones and rocks; its roots
| corroding and dissolying the surfaces and
absorbing the mineral matter thus made
soluble, and, of course, what we can see
going on in regard to large stones, must
go on In the same way with the smallest
PARTICLES about which the infinitely fine
feeding ibres of the roots wrap them
selves. An analogous faculty of feeding
is possessed by animals. A strong
robust animal will feed on straw and
coarse heritage, and even upon leaves
and brush, with much eagerness, while a
half-starved animal would only starve
the more upon such matter, because If
cannot digest it. Some robust persons
can digest anything-milk and oatmeal,
and sauerkraut and raw meat, sausage
and picked raw herrings, cocoa nuts,
and such food as would bring dyspeptic
person to deaths door It is so with
plants. Make the plant vigorous at the
start and keep up It's vigor, and it Will
get from the soil vast amount Of nutri-
ment that weak, dyspeptic crop could
not digest.

Agriculture in America.
BY EUGENE W. HILGARD


Most prominent among the factors that
have contributed toward the extraordi-
nary development and prosperity of ag-
riculture in the United States is, unques
tionably, the great native fertility If
soils, as yet unexhausted in the newer
States and Territories, which are thus
enabled to pour out upon the East and
upon Europe the accumulated soil treas
ures of many ages. That these cannot
hold out forever, or even for many years
to come, is an memorable law of nature &:
and the steady diminution of production
per acre in the States east of the Missis
sippi river. resulting in their increasing
inability to compete in the growing OF
cereals with the newer States, has long
given warning that the experience of the
Old World is being repeated on the new
continent, and that the old aud ever
recurring question is upon us of main
tanning profitable productiveness by means
of systematic culture and returns to the
soil.
Whether this question shall be allowed
to assume the aspect of the menace that
annually confronts the European agricul-
turist,-"No manure, no crops, Or
whether an ounce of intelligent proven
ton shall forestall the heavy burdens
that will otherwise rest upon the coming
generation and its industries, is the issue
that must largely be determined by en-
lightened government action, in the face
of the already inveterate bad habits of
the vast majority of American farmers,
that are, as usual, promptly adopted by
the European immigrant. The ravaging
of the virgin soils by heavy cropping
without change, or even the slightest at
tempt at returns, followed by the turn
ing-out" of the tired" land, and, too
often, by the washing away of the sur
face soil from the hard plough sole
formed by shallow tillage, not uncom-
monty resulting in the defnitive ruin of
the land for agricultural purposes, is re-
peated more or less in every newly set
tied region. Deserted homesteads, and
melancholy old fields SCARED with gull
lies, mar the face Of the land in the rear
Of the pioneer farmer, and impose upon
his steadier successor a heavy tax, in the
way of reclamation, on soils that, if
nationally cultivated, would not have felt
the need of manure for scores Of years.
For want of the most rudimentary
knowledge of agricultural facts and prin-
ciples, the planters of the South have for
three quarters Of century wasted nine
crops of cotton for every one made, by
failing to utilize the chief product Of
thOir 6olds-ootton coed fo1 returns to
the soil, which needs but little more to
maintain its full productiveness forever.

bile fertilizer, having become completely

COMPOST HEAPS.
am in the midst of the work of max
ing compost heaps which was begun in
January, fingered slowly through the
storms of February, but in the last few
mild days has been actively resumed
The point just now is how to make %
head of stock make 800 loads of manure
this winter. In the first place, my light
farm has an ample supply of the best OF
swamp muck. OF this have had over
200 loads dug out and have used it in
the following manner The manure eel
lar has been covered two feet deep; a
number Of loads have been put into the
yards and pig-pens, and more than a
hundred loads have been made into COM
post as follows: First, foot in dep4h
OF the muck is spread in heap about 16
feet wide and 40 or so feet long. This
is busted over until it is quite white with
fresh dry slaked lime and another foot
OF the muck is spread over that; then
manure is spread foot deep, the wagon
being drawn on to the heap, so that the
loads can be dumped by pulling out the
side boards and turning the bottom
boards, and the trampling congresses
the mass. And so the heap is built up,
foot of manure and foot of muck, re-
peated, and finishing with foot of muck
over all These heaps are in an active
state of fermentation, and the whole will
become pretty evenly mixed before it is
wanted tor use and by the spreading on
the field. [ believe ton of muck is
worth as much ton of good manure, ii
not more, and by getting it decomposed
and rotted in this way it will become, ]
expect, equally available for the crops a.

breeding. What is necessary for the
breeder is to give his sheep just such
quantity. variety and relative proportion
of food rs shall give the most perfect de
velopment in all lis parts. and the most
perfect growth of fleece. Generally that
feed which will produce the most oily
butter, will give better wool; that which
will circulate through the fleece and pro
duce Il better surface and give Il better
general appearance to the sheep. Corn is
poor ool-producing food and should
never be fed alone with poor fodder. Full
grown sheep do not Weld noticeably more
wool under the influence of a iattening
fodder, than of one which will keep
Aitbi EpNt NtHtItiou WI causing
any essential increase in their real weight
Small animals of any breed require more
food in proportion 10 their weight than
larger ones. because they expose relative

lose heat more rapidly. The advance in
the Improvement of our MerinoS during
the past few wears has been nearly As
great by better and more iudiciouS feed

As ii general rule, the smallest sheep in

The Merino is we'll adapted for the
soil and climate of Maine. They possess
a strong constitution, carry a fleece of
great density, protecting all parts of the
body from climatic influence; are good
working sheep, capable of living on scanty
pasturaGe, and the only good sheep
which can be protitably kept in large
ilocks. They more nearly fiji all the re-
quirements which the conditions of Maine
demand than any other breed. In the
matter Of combining wool and mutton
qualities, there is no breed so profitable
AS it has been proved that the Merinos
and their grades are the best sheep for
mutton purposes.
If sheep-raising should become alasting
element in Maine farming it would do

husbandry. Sheep, Independent of the
return they give in wool and mutton, are

briars, for restoring them TO good, prof

sheep for wool ard meat production is
profitable and should need no other en-

is beginning to be acknowledged as a
necessity as an ameliorator of the soil

TuE SIMPLE PROCESS RY Winch THE RELA-
rioNs OF rnk SENKs ARE ADJUSTED.

Marriage in Japan is an institution un-
known as Il religious sacrament, or rs legal
contract, pronounced or ratified by any civil
officer or court Ii is the simplest form of
matrimonial union that can be conceived un-
der the name marriage. II is simply this
W hen the child is born and named in Japan,
il is registered in the official register of the
ken or district where the parents live. Ii. at
any time, the person removes to another ken,
or province. he takes his registration from
where he is leaving and is registered at his
new home. There is no Japanese living un-
registered, When the man wishes to take
wife, and the consent ot the selected one is
obtained, or that OF her parents the husband
that is 10 be appears at the kencho, or office
Of the registration, and there registers the
name of the woman as his witc. and the
woman is then known and considered as his
sacred property, 10 have and to hold so long
as he likes and no longer. II the man wishes
for more female companionship than his wife
affords him he contracts for and registers an
other woman as his mistress, and she is thus
known and regarded rs a member of his
household.
The manner of divorce is Just AS easy as
the marriage--that is, II the man so desires,
he only can divorce. All that is done is for
the man to give the woman what is known as
the "three-hnes- and a-half paper" stating to
her that she is no longer considered by him
as his wife. She is then unmarried. and can
take her maiden name. The registry is made
to show this fact, and the two are quits"
On the other hand. there is no power on
earth that can divorce the wife from the hus-
band-the woman is poweress to act as
against the man. Divorce is the prerogative
of the husband, uncontrolled by any power
whatever; he alone binds and he alone can
loose.-SdB Francisco Chronicle.
