TIE writer next asks if it would not
be possible to make lands permanently
rich in phosphoric acid with some kind
of cheaper ne aterial than the usual high
priced phosphates, such lands to he
mapped as the root crop fields? He
does not attempt to answer the question,
but We think we are able to answer it
in the affirmative. "Floats," (tte raw,
ground phosphate rocks), would be the
thing to apply. The cost of this mate
rial is not nearly so high as is that of
the acid-dissolved super phosphates,
though it usually contains a higher per
cent. of phosphoric acid than is con-
tanned by the latter. One heavy appli-
cation OF floats wonId supply the land
with phosphoric for several years, and
go long as this supply held ont there
would be no danger of getting the land
too rich for root crops, by a heavy APP
plication of cotton seed neal, or ether
heterogeneous fertilizers for that matter.

a matter of very grave doubt ii these

The fact is the farmer is especially and

PHOSPHATE FERTILIZERS.


German agrOnomist urged that phos-
phoric fertilizers be used in amounts cor
responding only to what was absolutely
necessary; farmers, he said, were using
just double the quantity the beet crop
needed. 1t was not long before this bad
advice was followed; the temptation TO
save money making the theory very pop
ular. In many instances the phOsphOric
acid was left out entirely, nitric fertilizers
being used instead. AS q result the beets
matured badly. Now the old principles
again become normal.
While, as is seen, this writer makes d.
rect reference to the beet crop, it may be
safely assumed that what he says APP
plies with entirely eqnal force to every
character Of root crop, as turnips, Irish
potatoes and sweet potatoes. The fertil-
izer best adapted to one of these crops is
invariably best for all of them. They all
need phosphoric acid in considerable
abundance, and hence where the land is
not we'll supplied with phosphoric acid,
naturally, (and comparatively few lands
are), phOsphoric acid should be given as
q fertilizer; or, at least some form OF fer
tilizer containing a goodly per cent. Of
phosphoric acid
1t is not an unusual thing TO hear per-
sons assert that the sweet potato land
should not be made overly rich, as heavy
fertlizing causes the crop "to run to
vines, and give small and inferior tubers"
A gentleman made that remark to us
this week, adding that he knew whereof
he was talking, as he had put the thing
to practical test on several occasions.
We questioned him as to the kind of fer
tilizer applied, and learned that it had
been cotton seed meal. 1t was then easy
enough to understand the case-the
trouble sprung from deficiency in phOs-
phOric acid. Had some character Of good
phosphate been added TO the cotton seed
meal (Which contains very little phOs-
phoric acid), the crop would have been
all right in every respect.
It is our opinion that there exists no
possible chance OF getting the land too
rich for the sweet potato, Tor any other
root crop, provided a well balanced fer
tillzer is used; but for such crops it must
be we'll balanced. Cotton seed meal alone
is strictly a heterogeneous manure, and
therefore would, in large quantities.
stimulate plant growth to the injury OF
root growth. A we'll balanced fertilizer
would feed and stimulate all parts OF the
plant alike. 1t is possible to make land
very..rich by''cowpenning' 'yetno one ever
heard OF a cow-penned lot too rich for the
sweet potato. This last comes of the fact
that the "cowpenned" lot has been en-
rched with q we'll balanced manure-a
perfect fertilizer, ii you please.
Pursuring his subject further, the edi-
tor of the Sugar Beet says il it were pos
sible to analyze every square yard of soil
devoted to root crops, mathematical
facts obtained would show the percent
age Of phosph ORIG acid theground needed;
but such plan cannot be thought Of in
practice. It is better to have phosphat9s
ia excess; the crops following the root
crop will also be benefited thereby. An

A FIVE PER CENT. WALL.

The wall which one or two news
papersAhave sent up over the working OF
the five per cont State highway tax
vail based on the fact that the cities and
larger towns of the State are drawn up
ON to some extent, for highway benefits
for smaller communities-evide a
spirit of narroWDess of which the wall
ers should bO ashamed.
There is no special hardship that we
can discover in this contribution by the
larger and more prosperous localities to
improve the highways running into and
out of the smaller and weaker town
ships, since any betterment of the roads
in any section of the country is benefit
conferred upon the whole country, and
thus upon the State in a general way.
st. Johnsbury hands over something
more than fifteen hundred dollars above
what she receives of this five per cent.
tax; but taking the country as a whole,
the towns receive but about seven hun
dred dollars more than they pay of this
highway tax. The people of every town
in the State are interested, for social,
business and other reasons, in having
their own and every other town ap'
proachable by highways worthy of the
name, and there is no Aavor of injustice

THE MONEY OF THE NATIONS.

The United States is not the most lib
orally supplied country in the world with
money, but 1t undoubtedly has enough
for its business transactions. Accord
ing to the report of Acting Mint Director
Preston, its money stock amounts to
S2434 per capita of the population, OF
which 500 is gold, $9.l is silver, and
1918 paper. England has only 1892
per capita, of which STAT is gold, $2.63
silver, and S1.32 paper. France has
s4O.56 per capita, of which S2O.52 is gold,
s1795 silver, and S2.16 paper. The only
other countries that have larger supply
of money per head than the United
states are Belgium (S25.5S), Netherlands
(S2S.SS), Cuba, Hayti, ETC., ($31), and
Australia (S26.75). Mexico has only
S401 per capita, of which forty-three
cents is gold, S4.31 silver and seventeen
cents paper. Australia is the richest
country in gold, its proportion of that
metal being $25 per capita, or practically
the whole. Canada has S13.56 per capi-
ia, Of which $3.50, or about two-thirds,
is paper and 1856 gold. That some
countries still manage to subsist without
money is shown by Turkey, with its

BY securing the home market for the
workingman protection has brought
about in this country development of
industries which is unparalleled in his
tory. 1t has created STANDARD of wages
and of living that exists in no other coun-
try under the sun. 1t has enabled the
American workingman, and his family to
eat the best food, wear the best clothes,
live in a comfortable house, enjoy the
benefits of newspapers. magazines,
books and all the means of popular en-
lightenment which nineteenth century
civilization affords. 1t has planted the
factory by the farm, the school by the
factory, the church by the school. 1t
has called into being a grander anthem
than Beethoven or Wagner ever dreamed
the mighty harmony of whirling looms,
of roaring furnaces, of forges where the
hammer clangs ceaslessly. Napoleon
once said that every French soldier car
ried in his knapsack the baton of a
Marshal of France. With greater truth
it can be said that under protection
every intelligent and energetic working
man carries with him the power to be-
come captain of industry. Protection
has made the American home the for
tress of purity, intelligence aud comfort;
a citadel which the forces of want and
vice have assailed in vain.

DIR. Webb has travelled extensively
abroad and studied the architecture of
the various countries which he visited.
He has inspected castles and palaces of
England, Germany, France, Spain, Italy
and other nations. This palatial castle
will cover very nearly half an acre of
ground, and will be built of granite.
There.will be numerous turrets, and the
fortification style of architecture will be
carried out in the upper part of the
mammoth structure. Tapestries and
silks, mosaics and woods from foreign
lands will be used regardless of expense
in this mammoth country home. 1t will
be filled with. curios and bric-a-brac
from many countries, and the picture
gallery will be enriched by many old
masters.
This house has 107 rooms. The en-
trance to the main hall to the Webb par
lor will be through = covered loggia.
This main hall will be 55x100 feet. In
the rear of this large hall will be the liv-
ing room, 36xS0 feet. To the left of the

times, New York dispatches of Monday,
mention the following relative to banks:
SIT is now almost month since the or
ganizatiOns of savings bank in New
York and Brooklyn decided to avail
themselves of the right accorded to them
by law to insist upon depositOrs giving
notice of their intention to withdraw de-
posits. The 30-day notice was the one
generally adopted, although few of the
banks made the limit 60 days. People
who thought that they could not live a
moment after 80 days without drawing
their money take an entirely different
view of the situation now, and there is
not savings bank in either city that has
not received Numerous letters recalling
the notices of withdrawal. The time
limit has prevented all trouble and now
the banks are ready to meet their Gus
toners. The general report is that the
deposits are increasing daily, and that,
with week or two improvement in the
financial condition, everything will be
in good shape again."

Secretary Carlisle is preparing for the
total suspension of silver coinage as soon
as the Senate acts on the repeal of the
silver act. He has ordered the two
mints at Philadelphia and San Francisco
to be fully manned and the full capacity
of both mints to be utilized in coming
gold bullion. The Treasury has from
$S5, 900, 900 to $9O,OUo,OOO of gold bullion,
which is part of the gold reserve of
$1o0,000,000. Gold bars cannot be used
as currency, so it has been decided, in
the present need, to coin the bullion on
hand into $40, $5 and $3.50 gold pieces.
There is $40, 100000 of gold bullion in
the Philadelphia mint, $l5,000,000 of ii
being in one vault, where it has re-
mained untouched for fifteen years.
The mints can coin about 1900, 900 gold
a week.
