FERTILIZERS FOR CORN.
Conclusions Drawn from hesuits oD-
toined at the Experiment Stations.

conc1rs;ons Drawn from Results OBJ
tanned at tho Experiment Stations.
Potash, nitrogen and phosphorlc acid
are recognized as the essential elements
in all fertilizers and manures. often 1t
occurs with certain soils and crops that
only one of these ingredients is essential.
At the Kentucky state agricultural ex-
neriment station the results OF trials
with fertilizers on corn made IL appear
that only in those cases where potash
was a chief ingredient was there any
profitable use of commercial fertilizer
on corn.
At the Hatch experiment station, Mas
sachusetts, similar trials were MADE last
season, showing very much the same re-
suits under different conditions OF soil
and climate. In the Massachusetts ex-
periments it was found that while soils
differ widely in their requirements pot
ash more often or more largely proves
beneficial to corn than either nitrogen or
phosphoric acid AS a rule, it also most
largely increases the yield of both grain
and stover, but its effect is greater on
the latter 1t is thought that the de-
ficiency of many soils in potash may be
accounted for from the fact that barn
yard manures, as a rule, lack this IN
gredient, and farmers who use fertilizers
have usually bought those rich in phos-
phoric acid, with little or no potash.
Taking all the experiments of the sta
ton into account, the grand average in
crease in hard corn and stover per acre
is as follows: For potash, lib bushels;
stover, 1905 pounds; for nitrogen, At
bushels; stover $50 pounds; for phos-
phoric acid, 3.6 bushels; stover, 1862
pounds. The increase due to potash,
then, exceeded that due to nitrogen, as
follows: Hard corn, $40 times; stover,
3.37 times. Over phosphoric acid the
average increase was respectively: Hard
corn, 3.14 times; stover, sos times. 1t
thus becomes evident that potash pro-
duces relatively more effect upon the
yield of stover than upon that OF grain,
and that it greatly exceeds either nitro
gen or phosphoric acid in this respect.
Next to potash in its effect upon stover
ranks nitrogen.
Of the following two mixtures either
one is recommended by the station as
good fertilizer for an acre of corn: First
Muriate of potash, 175 pounds; dissolved
bone black, It's pounds; nitrate of soda,
100 pounds. Second-Wood ashes, 1,50O
pounds; bone meal, 100 pounds; nitrate
of soda, 100 pounds. Apply broadcast
and harrow in.

an anecdote illustrating the mans high
sense of honor may not be amiss.
During the month of June, 1864, Mr..
Hamill made verbal agreement with

army. giving the government an option
on great quantity of pork. Gold sud-
denly jumped 100 per cent. The quar-
ter,naster called for the meat, and Mr..
Hamill unhesitatingly, but regretfully,
complied with his part of the verbal con-
tract, although by failing to do so he
would have realized a further profit of
$4,000 on the pork on account of the
sudden rise in gold.
Mr.. Hamill has been connected since
that time with some of Chicago's largest

PRESIDENTIAL DINNER.
IA Formal Meal with George Washington
| in 1rQ9.

IA Formal Meal with George Washington
in 1883.
The following is description of one
of Gen. Washington's dinner, parties,
given on the 27th of August, 1889, taken
from the Senator McCloy Diaries re-
Gently published: "Sepate adjourned
early. At a little after four called on
Mr.. Bassett, of the Delaware state. We
went to the presidents to dinner. The
company were: President and Mrs.
Washington, Vice President and Mrs.
Adams, the governor and his wife, Mr..
jaw and wife, Mr.. Langdon and wife,
Mr.. Dalton and lady (perhaps his
wife), and Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Bassett,
myself, Lear, Lewis, the presidents
two secretaries. The president and
Mrs. Washington sat opposite each
other in the middle of the table; the
two secretaries, one at each end. It
was great dinner and the best of the
kind I was ever at. The room, how
ever, was disagreeably warm. First
was the soup; fish roasted and broiled;
meats, CANNON, fowls, etc. This was
the dinner. The middle of the table
was garnished in the usual tasty way,
with small images, flowers (artifciaD,
etc. The dessert was, first. apple pies,
pudding, ETC.; then ice creams, jellies,
setc.; then watermelons, muskmelons,
apples. peaches, nuts. 1t was the most
solemn dinner I ever sat at. Not
health drank; scarce word said until
the cloth was taken away. Then the
president. filling a glass Of wine, with
great forrnality drank to the health of
every individual by name round the
table. Everybody initiated him, charged
glasses, and such a buzz of Health, sir,
and thank you, madam never had
heard before. Indeed, had liked to
have been thrown out in a hurry; but
got little wine in my glass, and passed
the ceremony. The ladies sat a good
while, and the bottles passed about, but
there was dead silence almost. Mrs.
Washington at last withdrew with the
ladies. expected the men would now
begin, but the same stiffness remained.
The president told of New England
clergyman who had lost hat and wig
in passing a river called the Brunlss.
He smiled and everybody else laughed.
He now and then said a sentence or
two on some common subject, and
what he said was not amiss. Mr.. Jay
tried to make a laugh by mentioning
the circumstances of the duchess of
Devonshire leaving no stone unturned
to carry Fox's election. There was
Mr.. Sraith who mentioned how Homer
described Aneas leaving his wife and
carrying his father out of flaming Troy.
He had heard somebody II suppose)
witty on tho occasion; but if he had
ever read it he would have said Virgil.
The president kept a fork in his hand,
when the cloth was taken away,
thought, for the purpose of picking
nuts. He ate no nuts, however, but
played with the fork, striking on the
edge Of the table with it. We did not
sit long after the ladies retired. The
president arose, went upstairs to drink
coffee; the company followed. I took
my hat and came home"
