PEAS AS a CROP TO PIECEDE GRAIN.
L@gumnous plants have been desig-
natcd as collectors of nitrogen AMI
the cereals as dissipators of nitrogen.
Many practical men have gcneralized
from this that all lcguminous crops arc
especially fitted to preccde the cereals
as collectors Of nitrogen for the latter
crop. This view of the case is prob
ably correct when considerable por-
ton of The le2umnons plant is left
upon the ground, as with clover. The
theory, however, may be questioned,
says Professor Waller Baleniinc, so
far as such crops as peas and beans
are concerned, they having 10 lar 20
roots 10 leave in the ground. and with
which the entire aerial portion of ;ho
plant is removed.
In connection with experimental
work running through period of six
years at the Maine station for deter.
IN ming the effect of different forms
and qualities of fertilizers, a little data
bearing on this point has been Incl
dcntally obtained. Thus the north
half of each of tho plots ON mn cx-
perimental field was ono year cropped
with peas and the south half with
barley, and the following year the en-
tire field was cropped with oats. A
table in the annual report for 1891
shows the yield of oats and straw per
plot aud per acre as divided between
the north and south half of each plot.
An examination of this table shows
that with the exception of Plot No. /,
to which stable manure was applied,
that portion devoted TO peas last year
gave a smaller yield OF oats this year
than the portion on which barley was
produced last year. The results OBJ
tanned from the field, divided into four
plots of two acres each, show nothing
favorable TO tho theory that peas arc
better crop to procede cereal than a
cereal. Nov York World.

Ammonia has been carried in CON
siderable quantities on the upper decks
Of steamships, but in many vessels the
bottles, carboys, or tins are slowed in the
between decks In fact. they are some
times slowed in vacant cabins Of cargo

receptacles awakened attention TO the
placing of such substances dangerously
near heat. The master of the vessel on

Restrictions ON carriage Of dangerous
goods were imposed under the merchant
shipping act, 1873. section 90 Of which
provides that if any person sends or at
tempts to send by, or. not being the mas
ter or owner of the vessel. carries or at
tempts to carry in any vessel British
or foreign, any dangerous goods. such as
aquafortis, vitriol, naphtha. gunpowder
lucifer matches, nitroglycerin, petro-
leum, or any other goods Of a dangerous
nature, without distinctly marking their
nature on the outside Of the packages
containing the same, and also giving
written notice of the nature of such
goods aud the name and address Of the
sender, he shall be liable to a penalty

sending the goods on board is merely an
agent and ignorant of its contents. the
penalty is not TO exceed ten pounds.

liable to a penalty of $500 The master
or owner Of u ship may refuse to take on
board vessel any suspicious package,
and may require it to be opened TO ascer-
tain its contents. Clause 26 in the act
has always been looked upon as mis-
take in legislation. The master of
ship is empowered to throw overheard
goods Of a dangerous nature which have
been sent without being marked or mott
fed of their true character and neither
the master nor the owner of the vessel
shall be subject to any liability for such
casting into the sea, civil or criminal, in

There is no reason for denouncing the
carriage of ammonia by sea, but it is Of
the greatest importance that each special
compound should be accurately defined,
and that it ought not to be exposed to
heat. II everything that expanded on
submission to heat were interdicted, the
shipping trade would be sadly ham
pered. For example-yeast is shipped
for conveyance, and is usually carried
on deck. In hot weather the casks have
been broken and hoops burst from e1-
posure 10 the sun, although no material
damage is done. We could name other
breakages, but enough has been urged
to bring home the necessity for under
standing what to carry and where to
stow it.-Chemical Trade Journal.
