Folly of Washing sheep.

There are many reasons, SAYS the Wool

not a single argument in its favor. The
practice was inaugurated al an early day,

was necessary 10 wash IL either before or

JOSEPH PULITZER, RAISING 100000 FOR ITS
Pedestal.
The French transport lsere, Captain de
Saune, arrived ut New York on June Il.
1850 from Rouen, whence She sailed May 2l.
During seventeen days previous to this date,
the steamer was being loaded with the parts
of the statne of "I.iberty EnlighIening the
World" which is In be erected on Bedloe'S
Island, New York Harbor. The statue weighs
10y dead weight 222 tons, and by measure
ment 200 tons. 1t Was securely packed, and
Do harm happened 10 it the way To
America, although part of the voyage was
tempestuous.
Readers are acquainted with the history of
the arrangement between the great Republic
of the New World and the great Republic of
the Old World, which will give New York
harbor the most colossal statue ever erected
a gigantic expression Of good feeling between
France and the United States and a symbol
cI the political achievement which places
the latter i'm the van of the free nations.
The statue itself i gift from France To
this country The'pedcstal on which t will
stand i being paid for in the course al its
erection. by subscriptions from American
citizens. 1t is fact patent To all the world
that the money for this purpose has come in
very slowly. and in small amounts. The
pedestal is largely the gift of the masses of
the American people.
How long the necessary funds would have
been in collecting. or whether they would
have been collected at all. but for Joseph
Pulitzer. member of the Forty-ninth Con-
gresS and editor and proprietor of an infu-
entail newspaper i'm New York, nobody can
say. His position at the head of popular
journal gave him the opportunity of opening
fund To raise 100000 toward paying for the
cost of the pedestal. He now says that this
amount is secure. At this writing, the sum
OF nearly $4,000 has been raised
by him toward the amount stated,
the gift of II 900 subscribers Mr..
Pulitzcr's energy in the matter is greatly
commended. 1t would, indeed. have been

the part of the United States tu have had no
pedestal whereon To set the statue given by
France. But for Pulitzer. there is no certain
ty that the pedestal would become an ac-
complished fact 1t is due To that gentle
man, therefore. that in these days of rcioic-
ing that Liberty Enlightenng the World
has arrived and when IA place is being rap
idly prepared on which to erect NJ. Barthol-

F%rtiIiziny Corn.

tAintrfhh Asfifnllur>l-I
1t is quite reasonable to suppose that plants
can be gorgcd with food as animals may he
and that injury may result from it. That is
quite true as regards corn. The corn plant
has a long season of active growth II re-
quires about 100 days for its maturity. If all
the food which is required 10 mature the plant
is added To the soil in a soluble and available
condition AT the planting, Il large quantity
may be- lost before the plant can utilize IL.
Soluble fertilizers difiuse themselves in
moist soil with great rapidity, and are
quickly carried off by the drainage water into
the subsoil. Sir j. Il. l.awcs has noticed the
nitric acid or nitrate of soda. which has been
applied tn the surface soil escaping iu the
water flowing from the drains IN fOrtv-cight
hours after the application. IT, then. $40
pounds of this fertilizer should be applied To-
the corn crop before the sowing nf the seed
il will begin To be lost before a single root has
been formed To arrest is escape. The fact is
given only an instance of how fertilizers
may be lost by misapplication.. At
the best an excess of fertiliZing ma
terial given Ia corn in it's early
stages forces rank growth of stalk,
and the plant food is exhausted before il can
be converted into grain, which is tire most
valuable part of the crop. During some years
past we have been growing corn under a new
system OF fertilizing, which is to apply the
fertilizer at intervals, ~ after each time of
cultivation. instead of before and imme-
diately after the planting The effect has
been to notably increase the yield of grain
and decrease the growth eff stalk. BY this
method eighty bushels of grain per acre have
been produced, and in growing sweet corn
for sale, fine, large and weIl-filed ears are
secured. The fertilizer i busted along the
rows before the cultivatOr j. used. or imme-
diately after, and the first shower carries il
down To- the roots. The same method of ap-
plying fertilizers have been used for root
crops with favorable results.
