WASHINGTON, Aug. q = Charles Jonas,
United States consul at Prague, has sent the
state apartment a report OF Bohemian ngri-
culture and It's results in 1888 The state
ment be believes will be Of interest to farm
ers in the eastern states where productiveness
OF lands is said TO have declined In such de-
gree that cultivation at the present low
prices does not pay. The soil Of New Eng
land, he says, has been under culture for
about TWO centuries, while Bohemia was set
tied by an agricultural race OF people in tho
9th century Of the Christian era. The
present population upon an area not half as
great as that Of the state Of Ohio is nearly
5000, 900; yet Bohemian agriculture stands
equal 70 any in Europe, excepting. perhaps,
the English. As the result OF a thorough sur
vey OF the kingdom Of Bohemia only 433
per cent of It's area was found TO be unpro-
ductve. The chief cause of the continued
fertility Of the soil, Mr.. Jonas says. is manur-
ing. To the middle Of this century only
natural manure was employed IN b B3hemia-
Since that time artificial manure has come
into extensive use. Tho most commonly

phate, especially Of bones and dissolved
guano and bone Dust pure and chemically
prepared Those less frequently used arc

Thomas dust made Of the druss OF smelling
works The next important causes of tho
lasting proGuehveness of Bohemian farm
lands Mr. Jonas snys, are routation Of crops,
periodical change Of seeds and deep plOwing.
