SnAcial Fertilizera-

In my long experience, says Peter Hen
derson, have yet TO see fruit, flower or
vegetable crop that was not benefited, and
nearly in the same degee, by judicious
application Of pure bone dust and would
here suggest TO the advocates of special fer
tlll7ers, that in their experiments they try
equal weights Of pure bone dust, to the half
of the crops Of wheat, potatoes, cabbage or
Strawberries, being experimental on by the
specials" and note the results. | do not
mean to be understood that these so-called
special fertilizers do not answer the purpose
OF the crop to which they are applied; but
what protest against is the hair-splitting
distinctions claimed for them, confusing and
troublesome to the cultivator, if of no prac-
tlcal value. American commercial florists
have, for the past quarter of a century, ut
terly discarded the various formulas for
preparation of different soils for the vari-
GUS families of plants cultivated, so dog
matically insisted upon even yet by most
European gardeners, and instead Of dozen
different mold heaps, usually only one is
used, composed of three parts rotted sods
and one of rotted stable manure; yet who
will say that our results have not been as
good in consequence ! believe the same
fate is soon TO overtake the specials in
fertilizers. They may hold their own, per-
haps, for time among a few amateur cul-
tivators of Xxi garden patches-men usually
glib with the pen and who get in an ecstacy
over their success with a dozen tomatoes or
a score of strawberry plants-but few of
the hard-fsted gardeners or farmers who
live by the soil are likely to become con-
verts My business brings me in contact
with many farmers and gardeners each sea-
son, but l have known of few who think it
necessary to use special fertilizers for spe-
cial crops

The law authorizing the operation of such

very noticeable in the tax for maintaining

Borrowing on MORTGAGES,

Four or five years ago, says the Southern
CultiuatoT, the farmers of the South COM
nenced a sort of wholesale borrowing
Of money from foreign or Northern
loan companies, through local agents, Civ
ing mortgages on their farms. A few only
Of these farmers have been fortunate enough
70 pay off their mortgages. Some have
gone to law and contested the claims as
usurous in the matter of interest and fees.
The Supreme Court of Georgia, however,
decides that such loans are not tainted with
usuTy and must he paid in full. Chief JUS
tice Logan L. Bleckley, in rendering the
decision, throws out this admirable hint to
money borrowers in rural neighborhoods:
Were it in the province of this court to
give advice TO farmers, 1t would advise
them not to borrow money, especially
through agents; if they do. to pay up as
soon as possible Better advice we could
not give" Justice Bleckley is quite correct
IN his advice-our farmers should never
borrow money except in cases of imperative
necessity, and then with proper safeguards
10 protect their homes for the wives and
children dependent upon them. Unfortu-
nately, in too many cases. this money Dor
rowed from "loan agents. is not intended
10 improve the farm or meet any threat
'ned emergency, but to provide or pay for
things not essential to the borrowers actual
comfort or real happiness.
The San Antonio Tex Times thus point
edly refers to this subject; The Times has
frequently pointed out the baneful features
ut the mortgage system and shown how the
iarmer with a mortgaged crop was little
better than slave to the merchant who
held the mortgage. Another, and perhaps
greater evil, threatens the tillers of the soil
It's the farm mortgage, by which the very

years, were married Friday at tho resi-

presents were numerous and costly. he

of the Baltimore bar. On the occasion Of
her debut in society year ago Miss Johns
attracted great attention and many admir-
ers because of her remarkable beauty. She
is brunette of medium height, and COM
petent judges pronounce her THE hand

Mr.. Tyson is a member Of one Of the
Oldest, wealthiest and most highly respected
Baltimore families. He is we'll preserved,
and though his moustaChe and hair are
gray he is still in spirits and appearance in
the prime of life. lie is said to be worth
$1,000, 900, and gossip has IL that he will
settle 100000 upon his bride. He has two
residences, one in Baltimore county, several
miles north of the city. where he lives in
summer, and a town house on Franklin
street, where be spends the winter.
Three weeks ago there was quite a hutter
over a report that the engagement had been
annulled. Through somebody's mistake il
was announced that Mr. Tyson and Miss
Johns would be married on Jan. at En-
manuel church. A large number OF their
friends went to the church, but, finding the
doors closed returned, not knowing what
TO think. Immediately il was reported tn &
the engagement was broken, but inquiry
elected the statement that the wedding day
had not been fixed, and that gossip had de-
veloped alse rumor.
1t had been intended to celebrate the mar
riage in the Emmanuel Church, but the
death of Mrs. James w Tyson, a sister-iu-

of programme Only the immediate farni-
lies and a few other friends of the bride and
groom were present. Gen. Loughran Wis

The Destruction Of Moles.

A correspondent of the Southern RdnteT
writes: The last number of your journal
contains letter from j. II. Riley, Esq, of
Onancock. asking for mole remedy.
If Mr. Riley will insert in the mole tracks
or burrows sufficient number of bits of
raw beef soaked in a solution of strychnine
he will never see another track
Five years ago l was much annoyed by
them and poisoned them as above, since
which time l have never seen any sign of
them on the place.
There is no doubt about the mole being n
useful animal. 1t subsists mainly on grubs
and worms, destroying vast numbers of
cutworms and other enemies to vegetation.
They may have taken little toll from Mr..
RS potato fed, but expect the greater
damage was done by ground mice using the
tunnels of the moles to get at them.
