Fertilizer Limitations.

Land destitute OF vegetable matter will
neither absorb nor retain moisture. There
is always poor growth without sufficient
dampness, and this is an important reason
why commercial fertilizers work better,
as their advocates admit. when used with
BARNARD manure" | have been called
old fogyish for insisting that farmers
should not put mnch faith in the so called
phosphates. 1t seems to me foolish to
follow any system so expensive and risky,
and which tends to make increased dry
ness in the soil. when experience teaches
that moisture is so essential. | am salts
fed that much drainage is an evil. and
coupled with this comes the phosphate
craze. 1t should be the aim of farmers
to increase the vegetable matter in the
soil. Thousands of acres of land in the
older States have been made unproduc-
tive. if not barren, by the exhaustion of
vegetable matter.
Commercial fertilizers will neverrestore
these lands. nor keep up the fertility ofthe
larger portion of the areas now under Gull
tivation. They should be used only as aids
in promoting the growth of plants. In
soils, where there is supply of organic
matter, superphosphates undoubtedly in
crease crops. Farmers, however, do not
discriminate, but with deal of guesswork
and lavish outlay, they overlook nature S
laws for replenishng the soil. 1t is one
of the standard arguments of fertilizer
agents. that it is good economy to sell
straw and other fodder and buy from them
the weighty compounds with the small
per cent of ammonia, phosphoric acid
potash and nitrogen. My system is to
purchase these substances in the form OF
fodder, and keep more animals, and make
them my commercial agents and chemists

The announcement of the resignation of
President Porter of Yale College has pro-
voked somewhat extended discussion re-
garding his successor. The presidency of one
of the leading colleges of the country is po-
sition so important that the general public
naturally takes great interest in the choice of
President Porter'S successor. One of the is
sues-perhaps the chief issue of the campaign,
If such term in political yernacular may be
applied to the pending discussion, is the cleo
tive system question. Yale College since its
foundation as "a school Of the church, has
from year to year in degree modified its
course and of late has shown signs of serious
thought upon the departure which has been
termed the New Education" BUTT has chung
more stoutly to the original theory of its es-
adjustment than any other college in the
country, excepting perhaps one or two other
colleges in the New England states. And now
the question is, Shall its new president be a
man of broader views and represent more ex-
actly those modern ideas which have been
the outgtowth of new educational demands
If such man is selected it will do much to
break down barrier which the conservative
party so to speak, has too long kept stand
ing in the way. If not, it will only be post
ponement of the inevitable. AT all events
one thing is necessary: the new president
should be as thoroughly man of his time as
the distinguished Noah Porter has been
man of his
