RESULTS OF SCIENTIFIC AGKI.
CULTURAL EXPERIMENTS.
Potash Seems to be the Most Needed
Element of a Fertilizer for Corn
and Potatoes in the Blue
Grass Region.

The Kentucky Experiment Station is
located at Lexington, in the heart of the
blue grass region, and on soil which
has been formed from the decomposi-
ton of the underlying limestone rocks.
On this soil potash has seemed to be the
most needed element of a fertilizer for
corn and potatoes, although it has not
produced so marked an effect on wheat.
Bulletin No. 80 of this station reports a
series of experiments in applying fertil-
izers to corn, of which the following is
the stations summary:
"The results obtained this year are al
most identical with those of the last two
years, that is:
"First-That in those plots where
potash was one of the ingredients of the
fertilizers used, there was a marked in
creased yield, poth in corn and fodder.
Second-That in plot Is where a
fertilizer was used without potash, there
was scarcely any increase in yield over
those plots containing no fertilizer.
"Third-That the greatest increased
yield was made by using combination
of potash and nitrogen.
"FOurth-The use of muriate of pot
hoh III
yield over the plots containing no fertil-
izers.
"Fifth-That there was profit in the
use of fertilizers in every instance where
potash was one ofthe ingredients, the
largest net profit arising from the use of
the mixture of nitrate of sodium and
muriate of potash.
'Sixth-That there was loss by the
use of fertilizers where potash was not
one of the ingredients.
"Seventh-That so far, potash fertil-
izers have shown their effect the third
season after application"
The Ohio station has been conducting
similar experiments to those reported
above, both on its farm in Columbus
and on several other farms in different
parts of the state; but the results differ
from those of Kentucky in that no
combination of fertilizers has produced
sufficient increase of crop to pay for
the cost of application. In only one
place has potash produced any marked
effect in Ohio, and that was in Butler
county, on soil that is probably largely
derived from similar rocks to those
which have formed the blue grass soil.

Sound Advice.

A colored orator recently harrangued
his race OH the subject of economy at
Houston, Tex He said: I'VE have no
excuse for not being further advanced.
Twenty-six years of freedom have dem
onstrated that we can accomplish great
deal if we would put the true value on
our time and money. We seem to be
the only people of leisure, and we spend
enough money on pic mics and excur-
sions annually to support and maintain
large business concerns, such as dry
goods stores, groceries, drug stores,
hotels, factories, hardware stores and
other enterprises too numerous to men>
ton We seem not to- know the value
of time nor the dimes which are SO essen
tial to our welfare We are sleeping
while other races are going forward.
We need to have knowledge of the
trades, arts and sciences, as we'll as
teaching school and preaching. We
have conceived the idea that we have
more religion than anybody else, and
we have neglected all of our other affairs
to give attention to this duty The
speaker enumerated many business en-
terprises that are successfully managed
by the negro race in different sections of
the South, among which was a bank at
Richmond, Va.

Her friends have called her eccentric,
her enemies perhaps worse, after read
ing her works. Yet within her throb-
bling breast beats the tender, sympathet-
ic heart of a true woman. Her kindness
and ready willingness to help those in
trouble and affection has been shown
too often to doubt her sincerity and her
generosity. Not long since an old color

had the misfortune to have her cabin
tumble from its site on the mountain
side. She was poor and old and had not

her friends both white and colored. beg

and by wonderful surgical operation
she was restored to a perfect natural

Congressman Tucker Talks.

WARM SPRINGS, VA, October 49,
Those citizens of Bath who gathered a
County Court today enjoyed delicious
treat In the chaste, forcible speech of oul
representative, Henry St. George Tuck
er. For over an hour he held his audi
ehce with a masters hand while he
showed the conformity of the Democrat
ic doctrine to the Alliance demands. He
SAID he was in sympathy with the ALI
ance and favored all of the measures
which they wanted, save one-that was
the sub-Treasury system. which the
Alliances Legislative Committee had
passed over as impracticable
He passed in hurried review the de-
mand for free silver, to which the Re-
publican party was solidly opposed, and
which majority of Democrats favored.
and for low tariff which he showed was
the real issue in the Ohio Campaign: for
the income tax, and he showed that the
Republicans had removed that tax in
1875, and that our Democratic represen-
tatives had attempted to replace it. He
showed that the Republicans had given
the land to the railroads, which the Al
lance demanded back, and said that
party would hardly favor taking it
away. from their own denees. It de-
mands equal rights to all, special prili-
leges to none.
The speaker here referred them to the
subsidy bill introduced by the Republi-
cans in the last Congress. They de-
manded economy In the Administration
One billion dollars is what the last,
Republican Congress, appropriated
With the most cutting sarcasm the
speaker showed how the Mckinley bill
had put a tariff on manufactured arts
cles to make them cheap and on farm
products to make them high.
He spoke of the fight last winter over
the force bill, and called the attention
of his hearers to Mr.. Harrisons recent
of that bill. He said the
interest of the Alliance and the demo-
Gratis were the same. They had COM
mon enemy and must unite to defeat |
him. This contest was but the prelude
to the great one of next fall. Let no di-
vision now weaken us for the trial that
IS to come then.

This unparalleled feat was accomplished
last Thursday on the Bound Brook Rail
