Bismarck. Everybody knows, saws our
contemporary, that the Prince hardly
ever gets up before noon, unless ne has

meeting. But it must be remembered
that he only goes to bed after working
till 4. NJ, every night In the Chan
cellor's bedroom a lamp is kept burning
all the night, numbers Of messages often
requiring his personal attention being
brought ia during the night. In con
sidcration Of the late hours kept by the
Prince, supper is served late i'm fhc even

night. Beside the Prime 81 Bismarck.
Count and Countess RantZau partakes of
almost every meal regularly leaving the
palace at 10:f5 T.. ~, whel second

and holiday for the servants OF the house.
In the kitchen "a barrel Of wine is pro

comes down, talks with the guests. and

HOW to Tse Fertilizers.

There remains not doubt about The
economy of experimenting the manure
pile of the farm with commercial fcrtlll@-
crs. On few if any farms i'll the older
states is there enough manure made to
keep the soil III good tilth consequently
resort must be had to green manuring AMI
artificial fertilizers. III the use of the lat
ter much money is saved by men who sit
down and do little thinking before or
dcring such fertilizers as are to be bought.
First should be decided as nearly as is pos
sible what clements are specially deficient
in the soil; second, what elements Of
plant food are specially required for Tie
crop to be grown; and, lastly, how much
Of these lacking elements can be supplied
from the manure heap and compost pho
at home. Some crops, as Irish potatoes,
for instance, thrive better in soil that is
enriched by an artificial fertilizer than
with barnyard manure; and these crops,
therefore, are more economically fed by q
commercial fertilizer, the manure being
reserved for crops that needed more.
In green manuring the value of pca
vines at the south and clover at the north,
as an improver of soils, has been repeat
edlv proven. Pea vines and lime furnish
very effective means Of improving and
maintaining the productiveness of soils
in which ph0sphoric acid and potash are
not too nearly exhausted. The suggcS-
ton is made that some gain is effected ny
utilizing as much az possible pea vines,
clover or any other valuable forage crop
as feed for stock first, by turning on the
cattle to crop it, and then their droppings
are saved along with the roots and stub
bic that are eventually ploWcd under for
fertilizer.
