RULING REVERSED.
NEW DECISION PROMULGATED
BY SECRETARY SMITH.

Disability Not of Service Origin Must
BE Such as to Prevent the Applicant
From Earning Support by Manual
Labor-WnI save Millions
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has just made a decision
repeating Raum and Bussey's order
constituting disability not of service
origin" so as to limit it to disabilities
preventing the applicant from earning
support by manual labor.
1t is believed this will reduce pension
payments from $15, 900, 900 to 500 900, 900
annually.

he varies at all, in his special pre-
parations for soils of peculiar local
| character.
Getting back to the Rural New Yorker
That writer says the practice of home
| mixing of manurial elements is now not
very common in many Of the leading
agricultural regions. He knows of very
| many prominent farmers, once practicing
it extensively, who of late years have
given it up entirely, after a long and
fair trial. The trade in complete
fertilizers" of a good character, as put
up by the factories, is increasing with
every year. For example, out of a
total of 81 ,346 ,482 spent in New Jersey
for fertilizers in 1891, the sum of 5 ,007
423 went for ''perfect fertiliz srs - as
artificial "guano." A large proportion
of the balance was paid for ground
bone, potash or uperphosphates, TO be
applied without mixing. The home
mixing problem seems to be like the
home bread-making problem. 1t is
surprising to see how many gardeners
and farmers near the large towns and
cities use bakers bread almost entirely.
They buy the manufactured bread rather
than buy the -four and other materials
and make the bread at home. Though
many of them might prefer tie home
made article. The housewives reasons
for buying bread are not unlike those Of
the husband for buying "perfect fertil-
izers."
In applying the factory compounded
"perfect fertilizers" one can make up
his mind to giving his land what it
needs, and feel sure that he has filed
the bill. If he has good stable manure
to apply also, he can reduce his fertili-
zer-application to about the amount
that his stable manure would make up.
By pursuing such course he stands in
no danger of getting his soil out of bal
ance, as might be the case, due to vari-
alton in chemicals, were he to buY the
chemical elements and undertake to
compound them himself. Then. such
compounding would call for an expend-
iture of much time and care, which
might be profitably devoted to some
thing on the farm. At the factory
everything goes with regular routine,
aided by machinery, hence the elements
compounded at the factory, where tn ey
have been bought on large scale, cost
him no more, (if as much), as they
would cost him were he 10 buy them
separately for his O wn mixing.
The good ''perfect fertilizer" gives the
farmer a perfect manure, as much so
as he would have did he use a good
stable manure, provided he adds to his
soil sufficient vegetable matter to sup
ply needed humus. The stable manure
has with it's elements of plant food the
humus-supplying material, hut the ''per-
feet fertilizer" has not. Give the vege-
table matter and you may consider that
your application of good ''perfect FER
tilizer," factory-compounded, is simply
running your farm operations on good
stable manure alone, for it will be vir-
tually the same thing. P. Steele, in
Mobile Register.

willful misrepresentation the facts would
very speedily appear at headquarters,
and the other fellow, who made the dis
covery, would soon be industriously
putting himself forward as a competent
person to fill the latest vacancy in the
State chemical department. So, as we
see, no matter how much State chem
list might desire to be corrupt, he does
not dare to risk it.
Then, there is still another advantage
presented by the factory prepared "per-
feet fertiliZer," so called. The farmer,
not being chemist, cannot tell what
elements of plant-food the soils of his
region stand most in nee of, therefore
his compound put up at home must be
proportional W oily by guess. Almost
every agricultural center now has it's fer
tilzer factory, and the parties running
said factories have taken the pains to
inform themselves as to the needs of
the soils where their goods are to be
used, genera ally speaking. Acting upon
this information they prepare "per
feet fertilizer" adapted 10 the wants of
their patrons as nearly as possible, leav-
ing the purchaser to apply them with
much greater scientific accuracy than
could ever result from mere guessing.
The age of special fertilizers appears
70 Io Il TO Ill 4 20
years ago there was on the markets a
special fertilizer for almost every crop,
as a special fertilizer for cotton, a
special fertilizer for corn, G. special
fertilizer for potatoes, and 80 on. These
are still offered to some extent, but not
to that of a decade or 80 of years back,
the demand now seeming to tend to-
wards "perfect fertilizers ;" that is, fer
tilizers containing all the elements of
plant-food, without regard to the par
ticular crop it is intended to grow. The
leading special fer ;ilizers at present are
not special fertilizers for particular
crops, but special fertiliz RS for particular
soils. For example, our coast country
sandy soils require fertilizer contain
ing all the elements, as they are about
equally deficient in all, while the lower
prairie region just above us, having in
their composition pretty large proper
ton of potash, would not require much
potash in the fertilizers made up for
them and thus it runs. Of course the
usual amount of potash, as appearing
in "perfect fertilizer" would do them
no harm. yet they would be equally as
productive under the effect OF a fertili
ger containing less potash hence fer
tilizer may be prepared for them con-
tanning the other needed elements of
plant food in greater proportion CORE
spending to the deficiency resulting from
an employment of less potash.
This kind of thing is carefully studied
by the efficient local manufactur er of
"perfect fertile 9r," and the proportion
of his elements arranged to meet the
needs of tn region where they are to
be used, as already intimated.
Good stable manure is always re-
garded as perfect fertilizer, cap able of
bringing any character of crop. Ofcourse
it is not sold subject to analysis, and it
could not be, owing to its great variation

lord" For that reason it is not easy Just now to
agitate for the abolition of the hereditary House.
Editor Stead, the liberal and progressive force,
who is so commanding figure in English poll
tics, is of the opinion that it would be at this
time just as easy to extract sunshine from
cucumbers az to successfully agitate for the
abolition of tie House Of Lords. 1.-THE last
agitation against the peers" saws Mr.. Stead,
twas ON the subject Of the county franchise,
upon which there practically was little or no
difference of opinion, every one being in
favor Of it, the point at issue being whether
or not household suffrage in the counties
should be accompanied by redistribution
of seats, or whether it should preeede redistri-
button There was no doubt as to the sincerity
and earnestness and preponderating force Of
the meetings against the Lords, but no sooner
did the conservatives venture to organize meet
ings O: their OWE in support Of the peers than
the agitation practically collapsed, and the
question was settled by agreement between the
parties. Reasoning from the data of that last
campaign against the House Of Lords, the home
rulers are foredoomed to failure If they base
their plan of campaign upon the prospect Of
successful agitation. The odds at this moment
are heavy that the unionists could organize
just as many monster demonstrations in favor
Of the peers AZ the home rulers could get up
against them. and when public meetings dis
agree the House Of Lords decide"
There is encouragement in these conclusions
for weak home rulers. but the backbone Of the
movement will not be disturbed. Home rule
is certainty not only for Ireland but for all
the other subdivisions of the British empire,
and il the House of Lords court destruction by
opposing the popular will its downfall will not
DO productive OF great grief.
