Chgistiansted, St. Croix,
Wednesday, 22nd February 1898.

"A recent mail from Windward brought US
Aoopy of q REPORT Of the results obtained on
the experimental fields at Skerrett's School,
Antigua, by Mr.. F. Watts, Government
Analytical Chemist and Mr.. F. r. Shepherd,
Superintendent Of Skerrett's School. "Skor-
rstt's" is tho name Of an estate, on which a
reformatory school has been recently erected,
and the fields in question are, partly at least
worked by the boys Of the school. The
results of the experiments are, admittedly, by
no means SO satisfactory nor 80 complete
as could be wished" The field chosen was
unfortunately of very different degrees Of for
tility in its different parts. An experienced
manager, who was called in to report before
the manures were. applied. wrote:
II find there 10 a considerable difference in
"the soil and the growth of the danes 8; all the
pilots marked A. are decidedly the best, and
"even these vary, the BIS are the next beat and
"the Cs the worst"
The difference in the growth is entirely
due to the soil from tho north west corner
'of the field to the centre and thence TO the
north east corner it is very much superior to
"ths other portion of the field, and as all the
cas- are on this soil this accounts for the
"better growth of the canes and | am of,oplnlon
"that those plots without chemical manIres
would hold their own against the BIS and Cs
with manure, their soils being so wretehedly
poor"
1t ia. therefore, not to be wondered at that
the results were unsatisfactory. The field
was laid out in plots of acre eacn and the
canes were planted at . distance of II by41
feet, The experiments were directed to ascertain
ing the effect Of manuring with heterogeneous
msnures, potash and phosphates in various
quantities. A set Of elaborate tables shows
the results obtained with each of these classes
Of manures. In regard to the results of the
experiments in applying potash. tho authors
remark:
From the data in the tables it will be seen
that the effects Of manuring with potash have
been more pronounced and definite than those
obtained from any other substance: increased
quantities Of potash with the exception Of
the application of 90lbs. per acre. equal to
about, l80lbs, sulphate,) giving largely in
creased yields of produce. of cane and of sugar.
II IA another field has been planted and
manurss applied under similar methods" in
. 1892, We may presume that the selection Of
the ground has been q better one, and that
, 1893-02-22

the results will be more reliable than those OF
which we now have the report.
There are two valuable Appendices to tue
report; the first con tho character Of ths mice
Of he Bourbon cane; and on the manufacture Of
Muscovado suga,'; the second on chemical
analysis Of soils Besides the experiments In
manuring, others are boing made in growing
different varieties of canes, as we'll as seedlings
from Barbados.
These various classes of experiments, which
must entail much care and labour on the
authors of the report, cannot fail in the long
run to be of great Value, not only to the island
in which they are being conducted, but to all
the nsighbou1ing sugar growing colonies.

entertainment was the very clever legerdemain
performance of Prof. H. Russell, an expert and
noted magician of New York. The professors
many amusing tricks were quite bewildering to
the spectators some of whom he
made his victims. Fred Carter was
much surprised to see duck
egg come out Of his highly polished silk tile,
and others were equally amazed by sim lar
tricks played upon them One OF the Professors
most expert tricks was the untying OF knot IN
a handkerchief by simply rolling it between his
hands after several bad failed to undo 1t with
the utmost effort. He also, while biIndfolded,
performed number of tricks with cards, the
execution of which was as mysterious as his
other doings.
At the conclusion Of the legerdemain perform

served and greatly enjoyed. Among prominent
democrats present were Robert Elliott, g. Q.

In THE CHURCHES.
ST. Johns RED LETTER DAY.

Yesterday was red letter day at st.
Johns Free Church, SumniS avenue.
Easter lilies bloomed on every side, and
perhaps the church was never SO elabor-
ately decorated. or looked so beautiful.
All the services were largely attended.
There were three celebrations of Holy
Communion, and about 600 communf-
cants were received. The morning SER
mon was preached by DR.. E. l.. Stoddard
and consisted OF short discourse on" The
Arguments for Immortality" The morn
ing offertory amounted to nearly $4,000.
AT the children's service in the evening,
Uarols were sung by the children. and
each class in the Sunday school presented
q beautiful lily, which was afterwards
given to the sick. The Assistant Pastor,
Rev. J. A. Trimmer, talked to the chill
dren on the Lessons of Easter" and the
service closed with the singing of "Old
Coronation which was sung with con-
siderable effect. The offering or the
children amounted to 5000.
The sum raised during the day, about
SO, 500, goes to the fund for the extension
and refitting of the church. It practically
assures the completion of that design,

that it was impossible to save the struc-

NEW YORK, April 8. 1S93.-The largest
crowd that has yet appeared was present
in Part /. General Sessions. this morn
ing to hear the testimony in the trial OF
DR.. r. W. Buchanan, who is charged
with poisoning his wife. Today is the
fifth of his trial. and the defendant looked
healthier than any of the previous days.
He had 10 stand the strain of hearing
former friends give away his personal
condolences. These stories had been
largely collected by Assistant District
made strong array for the people
against which the defence had made but
few assaults.
AZ 11:2O the first witness was called.
He was Charles A. Benedict, an under
taker, of No. 60 Carmine street. Mr..
Wellmau conducted the examination.
Mr.. Benedict had charge of Mrs.
Buchanan's body.
ssI asked DIR. Buchanan" said the wit
ness ''about the advertising of the death
notice in the papers. and he said need
not do anything about that. He would
do that himself If he concluded TO do So"
"You may have the Witness" said Mr..
Wellman.

that timer" asked Mr.. Brooke.
"The doctor said that he wanted the
expenses to come within 500. He left
the details TO me-"

ing?" ., :.
