We make no apologies for introducing here
the honored name of William Riley MeKeen,

We have written of good men, of great men, of

contemplating a citizen whose life, taken as a
whole, from childhood to the ripe age of fifty
FIVE, is one Of steady advancement in the right
direction and the development of all things
which challenge the respect, confidence and ad-
miration of society. 1t would be the climax OF
inanity to intimate that a railroad president
like W. r. McKeen could, by any possibility. be
otherwise than just to his employees, and it is
this distinguishing characteristic which, in the
estimate of locomotive fremen, expands Presi

Corbin's plan of lifting the Toledo, Cincinnati &
st. Louis road out of its troubles at great length,
favoring his proposition. 1t gives a sketch Of
the history of the Toledo, Cincinnati & st. Louis
road, and of the condition of the Indiana,
Bloomington & Western with reference to pro-
posed guarantees, for which we have no space,
and concludes as follows: "The advantage to
accrue to the Cincinnati st. Louis bondholders
from an arrangement with the Bloomington &
Western consists in the fact that Mr.. Corbin
agrees to take care of thS reorganization eX-
penSes, and also the placing of tine new mortgage
bonds which are to provide the money for the
necessary improvements of the division. Mr..
Corbin says that his people can place the mort
gage without any sort of difficulty whatever.
This is certainly a very important feature, for it
being admitted on all sides that a new mortgage
is a necessity, it is essential to the success of any
scheme thatno difficulty be encountered in float
ing the bonds. The promoters Of the enterprise,
relying upon their own efforts. might not he SO
fortunate in the matter as the Cerbin party. AS
concerns the guarantee of interest on the bonds,
if the Bloomington & Western should be unable
to meet it-and it should always be remembered
that the management could no doubt carry the
company over any temporary period of adverse
ireumstances-the bondholders will have lost
nothing, since they will merely have to fall back
on their own resources, which they would have to
do anyway without the guarantee"

Speakers and Crowds.

A huge crowd is always agitated by
some restlessness or emotion: it SWANS
to and fro; it changes its pose; it is i'm
patient and inexperienced and the

BILE of fultilment. 1t is in the power Of
one man to destroy that brcathless
hush in which alone the orator can
be heard and we know that malevo-

unwilling to provide that one man.
Then suppose the speaker is heard.
Undisciplined and ill-informed crowds
are ignorant of the art Of good lis

their appreciation : literary allusion
is wasted on them they care nothing
for the ''lofty and balanced STYLE Of
Pitt, the infections of the voice, the
niceties of gesture, are for the most
part inaudible and invisible. But the
case is far worse than this. The crowd
will not even allow the speaker to fin

or the institution against which the
mob is demonstrating" Instantly

zealot cries, down with himr' or

Composing Leaves.

To compost leaves use freshly slaked
lime, one bushel to every fifteen or
twenty of the leaves and dark loan ".
ing beneath them. One bushel of lime
is recommended for ten of swamp
muck. Twenty bushels Of the leaves
and muck are to be first spread three
inches deep, then bushel of lime warm
from the shaking sprinkled over this
layer. Then this process is to be re-
peated till the heap is several feet high.
The heap may remain through the
summer and be mixed by cutting down
and shoveling over. If 3 bushei of salt

water, and the brine used to slake the
lime, the action will be more rapid, and
q few weeks be long enough to set up a
decomposition, when the heap NAV be
overhauled, and will be ready to use in
few weeks more. Instead of salt.
muriate of potash will answer, and will
supply indispensable potash to the
crops. 1t is on account of the forma-
ton of soda and carbonate of soda from
the lime and salt mixture that this mix

crop
Mdn,tring. Peas. Bdrfru
Potash, Pho'c Acid andN itroge

Each series was duplicated, and the
above is the average result. The crop
with no manure was taken as one hun
dred. Nitrogen, as nitrate of soda. was
added in each case at the rate of thirty
five pounds per acre; potash as chic
ride. seventy pounds. and phosphoric
acid as superphosphate, eighty-seyen
and one-half pounds per acre. BY COM
pairing the cans having nitrogen with
the others, it is evident that nitragen
had very little effect upon the peas,
while with the barley the results are
remarkably beneficial, ranging from
thirteen per cent. when the nitrogen
only was added to fifty-fve per cent.
when applied in combination with pot
ash and phosphoric acid. Manuring
with potash and phosphoric acid
brought gain Of forty-seven per cent.
to the pea crop, only little less than
when the nitrogen was added (No. 81
The soil nitrogen was sufficient for the
growth of the peas, while it did not
supply the needs of the barley plants.
Stated in another way, the facts are
still more striking: The potash and
phosphoric acid brought twenty-si per
cent. more dry matter, and this gain
contained .O6 grain of nitrogen. The
addition of y grain of nitrogen in the
soda salt gave an increase of eighty-One
per cent. of dry matter and .1sgrain of
nitrogen. 1t is seen that nearly all tine
nitrogen was recovered in the crop.
These experiments show that peas
are much better able than barley to as
simulate the nitrogen of the soil. The
pea crop in the experiments contained
between three and four times as much
nitrogen as the barley plants. but this
does not indicate that peas should have
more heterogeneous manure than barley.
Peas can obtain their supply of nitrogen
from ordinary soil, and respond freely
to applications of potash and phosphoric
acid. Barley, on the other hand. though
needing comparatively little nitrogen,
obtains it with difficulty, and is greatly
benefited by heterogeneous manures.
These experiments do not agree with
the idea that crops should be MANFRED
with those elements of plant food
sbundantly found in them by analyses.
Peas are closely related to clover,
both belonging to the legumes, and
barley is q first cousin to wheat The
facts here presented accord with those
determined by experience. experiment,
and analyses regarding clover and
wheat. Clover does not respond quickly
to heterogeneous manures, though con-
tanning comparatively high per cent
of nitrogen in its composition. Wheat,
requiring only little nitrogen, is not
able to obtain that little easily, and is
much benefited By the applications of
soluble compounds of nitrogen. 1t is
easy for clover to get its large amount
of nitrogen, while it is difficult for the
wheat to obtain its small per cent Of
the same element The conclusion here
obtained is opposed to the use of the sos
called special n,snures made for any
