out of every ten who will make up fer
tilizers after your formulas will use only
one or two barrels to the acre, where you
use half ton or ton. Every one OF
these men is going to be disappointed,
and will be sure to blame you. DIR. Gut
ting understands the farmers better than
you do when he makes them dissolve
their bone in acid before using it. He
knows they will be stingy of it."
We accept our friends counsel, and
will now give some formulas on his prin-
ciple, in which all the constituents are in
soluble form, Immediately available for
being taken up by the plants. But we
believe in our heart that this is the wrong
way to do. Nature never presents to the
roots of plants their food in this ex-
tremely soluble form. In our naturally
rich soils, that produce the largest crops
without manure, all the phosphoric acid,
potash and nitrogen are in more or less
insouble forms in the soil, and yet the
plants get them. The roots themselves
have the power of dissolving them as they
require them. II the plant food in the
soils of our farms were in this soluble
form, the rain and melting snow would
wash it all out, and leave them barren in
single year. But here are some soluble
fertilizers

This is complete fertilizer, with all
the ingredients in an Immediately soluble
condition. 1t can be made very nearly,
if not quite, as soluble in o:her way, as
follows:
For CoRN-No.2

For potato fertilizer more ammonia
and more potash are required, and for
them we should mix eight hundred pounds
of cotton-seed meal and twenty bushels
of ashes with the two thousand pounds oil
the plain superphosphate. We wish to
repeat, with all possible emphasis, that in
order to have these fertilizers effective
they must be very thoroughly mixed
Many will fail in this, we fear.
For wheat, hops and onions, more nj
trogen (ammonia) is wanted, and one thou
sand pounds of cotton-seed meal should
be used with ten bushels of ashes and 6
ton of the plain superphosphate. The
first formula can be used, bulk for bulk
the same as the purchased fertilizers, bu
as cotton-seed meal and ashes will al
least double the bulk, and are not neal
so strong, weight for weight, as sulphatt
of ammonia and the potash salts, thu
quantity used should be proportionally
increased. We trust that some, at least
will be persuaded to apply all fertilizer
broadcast, instead of in the hill, ever
though they use but small quantity t.
the acre.

Unknown TO Others

"My little girl was afflicted with scrofula
SO vlrulent was the disease, that her neck had
been lanced ten times. At the time she began
to take Hoods Sarsaparlla, there was a very
large bunch on her face. This we ex-
pected to open with the lancet but to our
surprise the bunch began to shrink, and now
it has entirely disappeared. Baby is in good
flesh; sores all gone; her appetite is good,
and she seems as well as any child"

miscellaneous Notes.

The scarcity of storage room in Chicago ele-
vators continues to be severely felt by the rail
roads centering there.
Since Jan. l, the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul road has earned s.. 079, 900 against 81 ,902, go
for the corresponding period Of 1888,
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company handled
in the month Of January 2l2,323 tons of anthra-
cite coal, an increase of 80. 465 tons over the ton
mage handled the corresponding month, 1888.
The Illinois Central Railroad Company is now
building q large per cent, Of its rolling-stock in
the South, at their shops at Water Valley and
McComb City, and for their cars they use South
ern timber exclusively. The machine shops of
the Illinois Central railroad at McComb City
are very extensive and complete in their appoint
ments.
Receiver Clark. of the New York & New Eng
land railroad, finds that the fixed charges-that
is, interest on bonds and debt, rents and taxes
now amount to 81, 800, 600 a year, while the real
net earnings for the last quarter were at the rate
of less than 800, 600 a year! That is not a very
brilliant prospect. 1t looks as though foreclosure
was inevitable.
Mention was made a short time ago that the
New York Central people had decided to enlarge
the Grand Central depot. The New York Tribune
says that what is proposed is the building of
practically another depot alongside and east of
the present structure. To do this, Fourth avenue
will have to be closed to the public from Forty
second to Forty-ffth streets, and permission
will be asked of the Legislature that this may
be done.
The president of the Delaware & Hudson
Canal Company recently stated that the canal,
as a medium of transportation, was no longer of
value, and that the business over the line could
be done cheaper by rail; so much cheaper. in
fact, that while the canal exists and the railroads
must be built, he expressed the belief that at no
very distant day the water and the boats would
be abandoned. and the roadbed and the roads
would be established on these tow-paths.

Arbitration Sngrested.

There is another DanvilIe, Olney & Ohio Riv-
er circular out, this time by the so-called Ware
party, contrasting its plan of salvation with the
Corbin plan, and responding to the action of the
Corbin people in meeting together and resolving
that their plan was the better of the two. The
Boston Herald asks how would it do for the op-
posing parties in this unfortunate controversy
to refer the question to disinterested arbitratOrs,
with instructions to report a sensible business
plan of reorganization which could be generally
approved Not that there is an absence of sense
in either plan as proposed, but that there ought
to be some common ground to meet upon. Unless
there is an early change IN the management Of
the property there will be nothing left to arbi-
trate on, says one of the attorneys, except the
right of way.

The pullman Paiace-Car Company.

George NJ. Pullman, president of the Pullman
Palaee-ear Company, has addressed a circular
letter to the stockholders concerning the opera
tons of the last fiscal year of the company in
which he states: Contracts for the operation of
the cars of the company were concluded with
eight additional railroads, including the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul and the Central and
Southern Pacific railway system, covering over
10, 600 miles of road. Renewals were made with
four important companies. including the Union
Pacific and Louisville & Nashville systems, GOV
ering over 1000 miles of road. The number of
the year carr was sSH s XVII y enc costing RfH s $3.50 S5 ,SI5. 40 HOT The
number since Aug. l. the beginning of the pres
emit fiscal year, is thirty-seven, costing 1929, 100.
The number of cars now being constructed for
service under contracts recently made is sixty
nine, the cost of which is put at 81 900, 900.

average distance of the indianapolis &
Vincennes road is eighteen miles, the
distance widening rapidly after leaving the
Marion county line. So, it will be seen
that neither the Vandalia nor the Indianapolis &
Vincennes will likely suffer to any great extent
through the traffic this road would naturally
draw. The distance from indianapolis to Vim
cennes will be 113 II miles, against III by the
/. & V. road. Eighty-seyen miles of the right of
way is already secured. Between Indianapolis
and the crossing of the L., n. A. & c. road con
struction work will be light. Between the L.,
n. A. & c. crossing and Bowling Green there is
a good deal of heavy work. Yet Mr. Devore
promises to build and equip the road at a cost
ing new coal fields, this road will open up thou
sands of acres of timber land-hickory, oak, su-
gartree and poplar. Just the class Of material
indianapolis manufacturers want.

The Future of the Wabash.

A Wabash railroad official, who was in the city
last evening, says that this system has taken Il
new lease of life, with A. A. TalmaGe at the
head of matters, who is the best organizer and
transportation man in railroad service. The road
and its equipments will be put in the best condi-
ton. His iirstmove WILDE tolay the main linewith
a heavy good steel rail, then increase the locomo-
tive power, now badly run down, with their own
engines rebuilt and new ones, until the power is
ample to handle any amount Of business offered.
The official says that Colonel Andrews will soon
step down and out, and with him several sub
ordinate officials of the "Colonels' appointment.
Trains will be run to suit, as far as possible, the
wishes of the patrons Of the road. Train men
are not to be movedsabout so frequently as to
take on the character of tramps, and officials
who think that ability lies in cursing a man who
chooses to disagree with an official will be drop
ped out. In fact, he states that the policy of
the management will be to treat the patrons of
the road and employees on it in a manner to com
mand their respect and good will.
Yesterday the following changes and appoint
ments were announced officially on the Gould
system: George Odds, promoted to general
traffic manager, in charge Of freight and passen-
ger traffic both systems; George w. Lilley, late
of the Texas d st. Louis, is appointed traffic
manager of the Wabash and all lines in the Gould
system north of Denison and TeXarkana, and W.
II. Newman. traffic manager of all roads south
of those points. More changes expected.

The Eel River Road.

The indianapolis, Eel River & Western rail
road project is commanding considerable atten-
ton from the business men in this city, and
along the proposed line. Chief Engineer Devore
says that undoubtedly they will be throwing
dirt within thirty days. The road, as
now located, will parallel the Vandalia, at a
distance of some thirteen miles from Indianapo-
lis, to the crossing of the Louisville. New
Albany & Chicago; then it bears southwark to
Bowling Green, where it is t~wenty-three miles
south of the Vandalia: here the road bears
southwestward ,paralleling the Evansville &
Terre Haute road, an average of sixteen miles
distant, on to Vincennes. On the south, the

Differential Preferable to Cut Rates.

Commissioner Fink answered the protest of
the Decline, the c., l., st. L. & c., c., w. G. B..
and B. & o. roads against the allowing of a diff
ferentisl rate to the l., B. & W. road in a man
ner which will put a quietus ON such protest, for
a time at least. He indirectly intimated that it
was rather dishonorable for these roads to enter
protest under the circumstances. The l., b. &
w, mp to the present time, had carried but 2
per cent of the through passenger business east
from indianapolis since the pool was established,
and it would be much better to allow them a
differential rate and give them a chance to in
crease their per cent. than to have them cut
east-bound passenger rates and demoralize mat
tiers generally, hoping thereby to force a recogni-
ton of their rights.

Value of the IT,. G. 8 St. L. Securities.

The patient bondholders of the Toledo, Gin
cinnati & st Louis road are questioning the
value of their holdings. The future of this mar
row-gauge affair is so uncertain that the value
of the bonds depends upon many contingencies.
Should the system become dismembered, as it
probably will be to a certain extent, two of the
divisions already praying for separation, there
will be one policy for each of those divisions, and
another for those which remain in the system.
The value of the bonds on q given division will
depend upon the policy governing that division.
Should the system hold together, and the bonds
be consolidated into two divisions, as has been
proposed, the value of the bonds now outstand-
ing on a given division will depend upon the basis
of consolidation, and be further affected by the
amount of money expended to put the property
in suitable condition for business, as a narrow
or standard gauge. Some millions Of dollars are
likely to be required for this purpose, and what
ever is required. whether issued in the form of
receivers certificates or as under a new mort
gage, is certain to be a lien before the present
mortgage. The most comforting thought to the
present bondholder is the almost unanimous tes-
timony of competent witnesses that the road is
favorably located for business, and in good
hands is sure Of a satisfactory development.

Colerick, C.-Appellant, who was auditor of Ham
ilton county, fled a claim for money paid by him to
attorneys under allowances made by the board. The
complaint alleged that the board would not approve
his report unless he repaid said money to the county,
claiming that it had never made such allowances, and
that, under protest and threats Of prosecution by the
board, he repaid tho money, in order to get his report
as auditor approved and to protect his good name as
an officer. Held: The money was voluntarily paid,
with full knowledge of the facts, and the fact that
the claim was unjust, and the money paid under pro
test, were not alone sufficient to authorize its recov-
cry, unless there was duress. If the board unlawfully
refused to examine and approve the report, the appel
liant had an adequate legal remedy by mandate. ~
