Natural and Acquired Fertility.

A soil which is naturally fertile is
much more valuable to the farmer than
one which is fertile only by the help of
manure. The natural fertility of the
soil, comparatively speaking, is a per-
manent quality, and can only be in
jured by the continuance of an exhaust
i've system of cropping for a long time.
Acquired fertility is quite different
matter; it is due to the accumulation
of manurial ingredients in the soil, which
may be reduced or entirely withdrawn
by cropping in a short time.
Continued cropping without manur-
ing results in reduction Of the stock
of available fertility in every soil. A
soil, however, which is soon exhausted
for one sort Of crop may still contain
an abundant food supply for crop of
another kind. Hence the wisdom of
rotation of crops which long defers the
period of exhaustion.
The more available substances are,
Of course, the first to become exhausted;
poor soil will wear out sooner than
rich one; a shallow one becomes ex-
hausted sooner than deep one, and
light soil sooner than q stiff one.
All soils have more or less store OF
plant food in dormant condition ca
pable of gradual development. As
cropping removes available plant-food
from the soil it is replaced more or less
rapidly by the agencies of the weather,
the action of earth worms, etc. The
processes of natural soil-renovation is
greatly accelerated by artificial means.
such as tillage, drainage and the appli-
cation of manures. With iudioious
system of rotation of crops and fertil-
izing, the active fertility in the soil may
be made to reproduce itself year after
year, instead of becoming exhausted,
US is too often the case, after long pc
riod of mismanagsment.
Mr. Lawes, of Rothamsted, England.
gives to the public the results Of an ex-
pertinent extending through twelve
years. The two crops grown eachyear
were wheat The soils were similar
and in the same field, the management
the same in so far as culture was con-
cerDed, and the seed used the same.
The only difference was that in one
case nature had been unassisted by ma
nure, and in the other the So: each
year received the fertilizers whica were
found TO be most suitable TO the crop.
The result of the latter treatment was a
return of three times the weight of grain
and four times the weight of straw, for
an expenditure of manure which left
profit of 100 per cent: on its cost.-N

BosToN, MASS, June The follow
ing paragraphs are from the Globes in
terview with prominent men of Massa
Chusctts on the nomination of Blaine
EX-CollectOr Beard regards the nomi
nation of James G. Blaine, by the Re-
publican Convention, as the very strongest
that could be made.
In an interview with Ex-Governor But.
Ter, at Lowell, last night he said "BIaine
is an able, shrewd man, and good polit-
ical general. Logan as the Fice-Presi.
Dental candidate viii be satisfactory to
the soldier element.
Hon. Hugh O'Brien said; "The Repub-
licans have not given us a Presidential
candidate for the last twelve years having
as many weak points rs James g. Blaine" :"
Mayor Martin, of Boston, thanks God
that Logan was not nominated for Presi-
dent. He said: "Mr. Blaine is a man
with much personal magnetism, and has
a very large following, especially in the
Western States. | believe that If Il man
like Cleveland, of New York, is nomi-
natedby the Democrats he will have very
good chance of election"
Hon. Charles Theodore Russell, of
Cambridge, thinks this a golden oppor-
tunity for the Democrats, and says "Let
them nominate a popular candidate on a
good platform and the election is
theirs.n
Collector Worthington expected that
Blaine would be nominated if Arthur
would not: "Am Just as sure that he will
be elected by Il strong majority"
Governor Robinson declines an inter
view, but says the nomination was not
Unexpected; Blaine would run well
throughout the North, and probably at
| the South also. Robinson would express
no opinion as to BIaine's chances.
Secretary Lincoln says of the nomina.
ton: "The ticket is strong one, and
will certainly win"
Secretary Chandler: at is a positive
| and aggressive nomination"
Secretary Folger: "Tho ticket is as
| strong one rs could have been nomi-
| nated."
General Hawley; at was fair noni-
nation. Blaine had the good will OF The
Republican party"
