FertiliIing Corn.

American AgIiculturalist.
1t is quite reasonable to suppose coat
plants can be gorged with food, as ami
mails may be, and that injury may result
from it. This is quite true as regards
corn. The corn plant has long season
of active growth. 1t requires about 100
days for its maturity. If all the food
which is required to mature the plant is
added to the soil in soluable and avail
able condition at the planting a large
quantity may be lost before the plant
can utilize it. Soluble fertilizers dlffuse
themselves in a moist soil with great
rapidity, and are quickly carried off by
the drainage water into the subsoil. Sir
J. B. Lawes has noticed the nitric acid of
nitrate of soda, which has been applied
to the surface soil, escaping in the water
flowing from the drains in forty-eight
hours after the application. If, then, 800
pounds of this fertilizer should be ap-
piled to the corn crop before the sowing
of the seed, it will begin to be lost before
single root has been formed to arrest
It's escape. This fact is given only as an
instance of how fertilizers may be lost by
misapplication. At the best, an excess

early stages forces arank growth of stalk,
and the plant food is exhausted before
it can be converted into grain, which is
most valuable part of the crop. During
some years past we have been growing
corn under new system Of fertilizing,
which is to apply the fertilizer at inter-
walls, as after each time of cultivation, in
stead of before and Immediately after the
planting. The effect has been to nota-
bly, increase the yield of grain, and de-
crease the growth of stalk. BY this
method eighty bushels of grain per acre
have been produced, and in growing
sweet corn for sale, fine, large, and we'll
filed ears are secured. The fertilizer is
busted along the rows before the cult
vator is used, or Immediately after, and
the first shower carries it down to the
roots. The same method of applying
fertilizers has been u7ed fer root crops
with favorable results

Lord Randolph Churchill.

A prominent member of the opposi-
ton which has finally comprised the
liberal defeat is Lord Randolph Church.
ill, who is known in English politics as
the leader of the "fourth party" This
consists of young gentleman ofthe house
of commons, whose chief distinction
seems to be that of beating the govern,
ment, Mr.. Gladstone particularly. They
are supposed to be members of the con-
sentative party, but are decidedly un-
Trustworthy as such. Although snubbed
by the leaders of their own party and
classified occasionally by the wrath of
Mr.. Gladstone, up to the present time,
during the years in which they have
fingured at sill in public life, they have
fourished on their notority. Lord
Randolph, as their leader, has been the
recipient of many hOnors.
His prominence is of recent growth,
as he is quite q young man, and has
been chiefly made by his attacks on the
Gladstone ministry. Their policy with
regard to Egypt and Ireland have been
his favorite subjects, and the credit
must be given him of selecting his points
of attact with good judgment. Here,
perhaps, the praise due him as leader
must end in the contemplation of the
judicious, as his speeches have been
characterized by q real or assumed bit
terness and extravaganza which have
largly diminished, or in some cases multi
fed, their effect. He is often compared
with Mr.. Disraeli at the time when he
STACKED Sir Robert Peel. The great
difference between them is that Disraeli
had great party behind him; Lord
Churchill has not.
In short, of late his plans have proved
futile, even beyond his historic attack
on the khedive of Egypt. Thinking to

Some OF the advocates of temperance
hail the latest report of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue as evidence that re-
form in the habits of the people Is making
progress. 1t appears from the report that
the Government received 1882 .545 less
from the tax on spirits distilled, during
the last fiscal year. then during the pre-
vious year. and this decrease implies
reduction os :0.sOO, 900 gallons, or about
IA per cent. in the quantity taken from
Government warehouses for consumption.
If 1t were right to inter that the quantity
consumed had been in the same measure
diminished, the indication would be rather
more hopeful than it now is. For it is
probable that large part of the decrease
in withdrawal for consumption during the
past year has been due to the fact that the
market had previously been much oyer
supplied with tax paid whiskey. and that
more than twice rs much whiskey was
sent abroad as in the previous year, either
10 evade duties or with honest expecta-
tons of finding customers abroad. New
ertheless, the decrease in consumption is
important to be noticed in connection with
the fact that the consumption of fermented
liquor has at the same time increased.
The Government receipts from the tax on
fermented liquor has at the same time in
creased The Government receipts from
the tax on fermented liquors were about
per cent more than in the previous year
which indicates consumption exceeding
19.l70.0O0 barrels. Reckoning the popu.
lation according to the latest methods fol
January l. about the middle of each of the
two fiscal years. 1t appears that the con.
sumption Of whiskey in the fiscal year
1884 was about 1.39 gallons for every in.
habitant, while the quantity taken from
warehouse for consumption in 1885 wa
only LII gallons for each inhabitant
This indicates decrease of nearly quar-
ter of q gallon yearly in the quantity o
whiskey taken for consumption.
