feet long might very well be twenty
seven knots an hour. To traverse

the White Star line would have to extend
its piers in the North river about 200
feet. The cost Of the projected colossus
would be not less than $2500O0O.

The En.e, Of Continued Fertili1inS.

Farm land may he kept in a pro-
ductiye condition fo! manv years by
the use of artificial fertilizers alone,
with the turning under of clover or
some other green crops 1t would
not be advisable to depend wholly on
the use of fertilizers for long series
of years, without some addition to
the land of bulky vegetable matter,
which has the effect of providing
some food for the crops and of keep
ing the soil in better condition for
working. 1t must not be forgotten
that crops at times take from the
land many more elements of fertility
than are supplied by the fertilizers,
and these must be returned in some
way, either by manure or green crops,
or composts of some kind. The safe
way is to use the fertilizers as a
means Of procuring a larger supply
of the other indispensable elements
of fertile soil, and as a help rather
than as sole Experimentation
