REMOVAL OF THE JUDGES.

The Proceeding Unusual In American
Polltics-New York system Better.
The Legislature Of Delaware adopted
Joint resolution ON Thursday in favor Of
the removal from Office of the chief
Justice of the state and one of the asso-
ciate Judges. "This act. says a des
patch from Dover, the capital, 'is the
outcome of general demand from the
legal fraternity, arising from the incom-
potency of the judges who have become
physically inGrm, and. it is said, ment-
ally incapable through many years OF
honorable service.
Delaware is one Of the few states o.
the Union in which there is an appointed
judiciary. holding Office during good be-
havior, instead of an elected judiciary
holding Office for a stated term of years.
The Constitution of Delaware, however,
provides that the governor may, for any
reasonable cause i'm his discretion, re-
move any Of the judges on the address of
two thirds of an tho members of each
branch of the General Assembly; and we
supposed is under this constitutional pro
vislonthat the Legislature has just acted
The proceeding is unusual in Ameri-
can politics. There is something sad in
the compulsory removal of judicial OH
GERS whose service has been long and
worthy, simply because they are not wise
enough 10 resign and have become too in
firm TO discharge their duties setisfac
torily. But in such a case the public
welfare is paramount, and we do not see
that the Legislature has any alternative
but to recommend their enforced retire
meut.
The New York system is better. II
provides in advance of any judges cleo
tion that his term must expire on the
3lst of December next after he attains
the age Of TO- The limit might well be
20, and we have known many lawyers
who at 80 were as fit for judicial Office as
they ever were; as, for example, the
Hon Jasper W. Gilbert of Brooklyn But
an age limit of some sort is preferable to
an indefinite term, which may compel re-
sort 10 such painful proceeding as that
which has Just taken place in Delaware.

EERrILIzERs FoR FARMERs.

The plant Food should Bb Prepared
Now in order to Show Good Results
Preparations by farmers for seeding
down the early crops should be com
pleted before the time arrives for begin
ming operations. Farmers who cultivate
large farms can make sufficient qual'ti-
ties of manure TO answer all purpose s.
The whole of the manure should bt'
spread over limited surface, because II
thinly spread over a large area il is OF
but little service The latter deficiency
must be supplied by the use of fertilizers,
which should be procured and Kept
ready for use when the occasion arrives
for so doing.
There are several kinds Of fertilizers
which can be used by farmers. They
are so cheap that even If the most expen-
sive Of them are purchased nothing is
lost by using these substances which are
composed Of lime and plaster Wood
ashes Is Il good fertilizer but it is be-
coming higher in price and is not as
easily secured as in former years. Lime
being an alkaline substance causes chem
ical action in the soil, ana increases the
supply of soluble plant food. Plaster or
sulphate Of lime, is really a salt, and is
sparingly soluble in water. For clover
on heavy soils it has been proved an ex'
cellent manure. Lime gives better
results than plaster on light sandy soils.
Common salt is another substance that
assists in increasing the plant food of
the soil. due to its chemical effect, but
it is not fertilizer.
In selecting fertilizers that are sold for
the value Of the nitrogen potash and
phosphoric acid contained, the farmer
should not be guided so much by the
percentage of the substances included
in the fertilizers as by the demands Of
the soil No two fields on a farm can be
treated alike, and II is the judgment Of
the farmer that cheapens or increases
the cost of the fertilizer, as he should
consider what the land has produced and
also the kind of crop he intends growing
on the soil during the next year.
