RING THE BELLS.

Now as a movement is just to be
started looking to the proper celebra-
tion Of the 40Oth anniversary Of the
discovery Of America, BY Christopher
Columbus, on Oct. 21st, lot the pro-
jectors try to celebrate the day as
much as possible. To start the day
properly, they should request that
every bell in the city should be rnng
just at the break Of day. Surely the
celebration Of the day could not be
started more appropriately than in this
manner, and It would meet with the
approval Of all. Let them consider
this part, and set the time, say 8 o.
clock. and send the request to the jani-
tors Of the different churches and fire
companies. In this manner, as it was
when the bells were rung upon the
centennial Of the inauguration Of the
first President Of the United States, It
would stir the heart Of every patriotic
American. Let them ring SO that
their peals may be carried over the city,
announcing that the celebration Of the
day has commenced. PATRIOT

Mrs. Gilmore and her daughter, Min

annual engagement here at the time
Of his death.
The knights Of st. Patrick met and
passed sesolutions Of sorrow, common
datory Of the great Irishman. There
mains were taken to New York for in

Gilmore's band was admitted to be
the leading musical organization Of the
kind in the country. Its music was

rURAL EXPERIMENT STATION
IN THE INTEREST or
FARMEMs.

EAbsM ANGs
We have received Bulletin No, % of
the w. Va. Agricultural Experiment
Station, giving the results Of 4 Plat
Experiments, with Commercial Ferti-
lizers ON wheat. The use Of CONNER
cial Fertilizers is subject Of vital inn
portance to the farms Of West Virginia.
There can be no doubt that the proper
application Of Commercial fertilizers
very materially increases the yield Of
crops, while it is equally truc that
their improper use, not only fails 70
produce the desired results, but inn
poses upon the farmer useless ex-
pense ard serious loss.
The object Of the experiment set
forth in detail in Bulletin %, is to de-
termine the effects Of the application
Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash, either singly or combined, upon
the production ofwheat; and the re-
suits show that tho use Of heterogeneous
fertilizers npon these plats applied at
the time the wheat was sown was ofno
practical value. What effect It would
have had il its application had been
delayed until spring, when the wheat
plants begin their spring growth, does
not appear from this experiment, as nc
test Of that kind was made.
When it Is remembered that nitrate
Of soda, containing Is per cent. Of nj.
trogen cost $40 per ton. and dried
blood containing ~ per cent. Of nitro,
gen costs S35 per ton, the use Of these
fertilizers becomes question Of vita
Importance. This experiment most as.
suredly condemns the practice Of apply
| ing the full quota Of heterogeneous ferti
flyers inthe fall ne year, bnt wheth'
| OF sufficient amount q supply the no
cessary demands Of the plant in max
ing its fall growth should be given
and the residue applied in the spring
when the plant resumes its growth, O
whether the results would be the same
upon other soils, are questions not de
termined BY this experiment. As i
the merits Of the different forms 9
potash, this experiment seems to Civ
a decided preference to kainit.
These experiments also demonstrate
the very important fact that while thu
application Of Commercial Fertilizer
to one kind Of soil may produce YER
gratifying results, the application o
the same fertilizer to another kind o
soil will fail to produce any advantage
GUS effects whatever.
