81. JAGo DE CUBA, August l6.-There were
twenty deaths from yellow fever in this
city since the 2Sth OF July, largely among
the military. New food is furnished the
disease by lot of freshly arrived Spaniards,
who are now working at the Paraguay
mines, near this city. The season is very
irregular, in fact the weather which pre-.
walls is favorable for yellow fever epidemic
in the island. Reports continue TO be re-
ceived from the interior. Many children
and native Cubians are dying of yellow
fever.
Ell Fais, of Sancti Espiritu, refers to the
number of cases there. 1t is long time
| since an epidemic has visited that city. As
many as twenty-four children have been
swept away in a single day by the disease.
The British steamer City of Baltimore
cleared from this port few days ago for
Philadelphia. When six hours out the

Philadelphia. Fortunately DIR. Caminero,
inspector OF the United States Marine Hos

Posts Ofthe Soil.

Writing on the infinite variety of
weeds, and how they meet the require
ments of all soil and situations, the
TURNER'S Aagazine says by their growth
and decay they form an accumulation of
humus or vegetable matter in the soil,
which is thus made suitable for cultiva.
ton. This may be true of waste soils
and commons, since they are tenacious
of life and multiply wonderfully, and it
is added:
Morning glories, thistles, dock, horse
nettle, the army weed, the ox-eyed
daisy, sheep sorrel and the iron weed
were mentioned as particularly trouble
some in this locality. The morning
glory is the great pest of our Muskingum
River bottoms. Thorough and constant
cultivation will keep it in subsection,
but seldom or never eradicates it. AS
soon as the ground is laid down to grass
it revives with astonishing 1igOr. One
member prefers to sow rye after corn and
potatoes in the fall. This forms a sod
before winter, starts again early in the
spring and makes big growth to pillow
under in pril or May. This early plow
ing before the vines get good start in
the spring has more effect on them than
a summers hoeing. Thinks this method
better than sowing clover on such
lands.
The different burrs. once the greatest
pest of bottom farmers, are now pretty
we'll extinct on cultivated ground.
Sheep will keep down iron weeds, bri-
ers, ragweeds where they have not too
much range. The horse nettle can
hardly be eradicated when it has once
obtained a foothold in pasture lands.
The daisy is nearly as bad, but can be
kept out by constant watchfulness.
Weeds are transported largely in grass
seeds, and there should be strict legisla-
ton to compel seedmen to examine and
cleanse their seeds before offering them
for sale. The practicability of intrust-
ing Township Trustees or other officers
with power to compel land owners to
keep weeds down on their premises was
doubted, though it might be done in
some communities where the benefits and
necessity of SO doing were generally rec
ognized. Improved machinery is a great
help in this direction. Farm, Field anil

acid which the leached ashes still re-
tanned and which are as necessary for
plant growth as potash. Now, as ashes
contain much more lime than potash it Is
quite likely that we often give to potash
the credit that really belongs to lime and
phosphoric acid. As commercial ashes
are usually made from variety of woods
it may be of interest to state that the
popular idea of the greater value of those
from hard woods is in the main correct,
although the inferiority of those from
soft wood is owing about as much to the
small quantity produced as it is to de-
ficiency in quality.
A standard authority thinks our gen
eral system of farming is more likely to
impo erish the soil of nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid than of potash, and that
deficiency in potash wilt first be indi-
Gated ly small crops of clover or beans,
and that when land will grow large
crops of red clover potash need not be
bought for manure. On the other hand,
where only guanO or superphosphate is
used and all the products, including po-
tatoes and root crops, are sold off, sandy
soils will soon become poor in available
potash, but land that has been MANFRED
for years with barnyard or stable manure,
no matter what kind of crops have been
raised, Is not likely to need potash, as
the manure is richer in potash than in
nitrogen or phosphoric acid.
From this it would appear that nitro
genous and phosphate manures are best
applied to clayey or loamy soils already
containing sufficient potash, and com
mon manures to the more sandy part of
the farm. A great deal has been written
about the value Of coal ashes, and when
subjected to analysis so little fertilizing
quality is exhibited that they are usually
considered worthless Their mechanical
effect on hard, close soils is, however,
often of more importance than might
appear at first sight. Many use them
beneficially around fruit trees, and their
value, when finely sifted and sprinkled
around melon and cucumber vines to pre-
vent the ravages of the bugs, is quite
well attested.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Shipping Poultry to Market.

To meet the demands of the city mar
ket's, the crops of turkeys and chickens
must be free from food or other substance,
hence poultry designed for this market
must be kept from food about twenty
four hours before killing. 1t is generally
conceded that all poultry is best killed
by cutting through the roof of the mouth
to the brain with a sharp pointed knife.
For this market leave the head and legs
on, and do not "draw" the entraIls.
The advice has been given many times
not to pack poultry until 1t is entirely
relieved of all animal heat. This is an
important point, for birds packed before
they are cold are almost sure to spoil.
For packing material clean dry wheat or
rye straw Will be found preferable. -NeO

Ashes as Fertilizers.

The great attention now paid, says
the New \ ork World, to the subject OF
returning to the soil an equivalent for
that which is constantly taken from it in
the form of grasses, fruits, and vegeta-
bles, renders all trustw Orthy information
on the sub ject interesting and valuable,
whether the results arise from the appll-
cation of manures in their coarse and
crude state or from the artificial and
chemical kinds made by manufacturers.
From the fact that the ashes of plants
and woods contain nearly all OF their
mineral constituents except very small
portion that has been lost in the process
of combustion, it is naturally to be ex-
pected that the best results may always be
looked for from the use of them as fer
tilizers.
There are, however, occasional cases
where their application is Disappointing,
for land may be either too rich Or too
poor to receive any considerable benefit
from them. This may arise from the
fact that the soil already contains all the
necessary mineral elements, or it may be
so deficient il vegetable mould as to
make them virtually useless. AS gen
eral rule, however, on average farms
liberal dressing of ashes may be used not
only for immediate benefit, but with
beneficial results for a succession Of years.
1t is common to estimate the fert1l1Z-
ing value of ashes chiefly by the potash
and phosphoric acid they contain and to
consider leached ashes useful only for
their mechanical effect on the soil. 1t,
however, frequently happens that in their
leached condition, when the potash has
been extracted, they exert ar influence
almost as marked as that produced by the
same quantity of unleached ashes on
another field. This arises from the fac
that the soil Of the field on which they
were used was not deficient in potash,
but greatly needed lime and phosphoric

On the Handling of Hay.

Most farmers have noticed that hay
rapidly wastes when handled two or three
times in winter. If they are obliged to
buy load toward spring it does not go
80 far as that pitched directly from their
own bays or stacks into the feed managers
or boxes There is, doubtless, consider
able waste of the finer portions of the
hay, which are broken off and fall on the
ground during repeated handling. But
the newly mown hay is not packed close
" and cannot be; it is so dry. 1t looks
to be more than it is. If the farmer in
spring is obliged to buy hay he should
usually feed more grain to make it go
further. The one advantage of hay on
most farms is that it is on the premises
and it costs more to market it than it
does grain. The latter in most places
furnishes the cheaper nutriment, and
when both have to be bought the cheaper
handling of grain is an argument in its
favor as against hay or coarser feed
