Farm Lands wanting Potash.

1. Fodder crops, pasture grasses, corn
slower and hay all remove large
amounts Of potash from the soil, and
these crops occupy d large. proportion
of our improved lands.
2. The urine OF our domestic animals
contains about four-fifths Of the total
potash of their excreInents.
3. When urine is allowed to waste
the manure Is poor In potash.
A. When anure are exposed to
rains much of the potash, being sol
uble, Is washed away.
5. Nearly all the special fertilizers
are especially rich in phosphOric acid,
and do not contain enough potash.
6. Superphosphates were the first fer.
tilizers TO come into general use among
our farmers.
Z. When the farmer buys a fertilizer
he still, nine times out of ten, calls for
a phosphate.
s. AS d result of the above conditions
our soils seem to be quite generally In
need OF more liberal applications Of
potash.
8. In the case of corn the need of
potash appears to be particularly prom
inent.
10. For a good crop OF corn the fer
tilizer used should supply 100 to 10
pounds Of actual potash per acre; 200
to $50 pounds of muriate OF potash or
one ton fifty bushelsr OF good wood
ashes win do this.
III. With ordinary farm or stable ma.
nure ii win generally pay TO use come
potash for corn; 125 TO $50 pounds Of
muriate Of potash has given profitable
results.
IL. The liberal use OF potash means
more clover In our fields, mor nitro

houses and barns full to Overlooking.
1T also a sod which when turned
will help every other crop.

and quality in much higher degree; SOl

The utilization or what are termed
the waste forces OF nature Is steadily
pushing itself to the front, and en-
gineers have been compelled to study
applications which were scarcely even
contemplated ten years ago. The ready
means which electricity places In the
hands of the engineer have not been
overlooked. and as soon as the storage
battery became q commercially availa-
BILE apparatus a new impetus was given
TO the realization OF long meditated
schemes, says the Electrical Engineer.
The first OF these Ideas to be taken mp
seriously was the transmission OF the
powers Of waterfalls, the progress In
which presents q remarkable record.
These powers, from their uniform and
steady nature, afforded favorable OPP
portunity, but the intermittent powers
OF nature, such as the rising and fall
ing tides, the waves, and especially the
wind, have up to the present absorbed
the attention of but a few isolated
MVAAERN VE#& An1GEHs G4NAOSf46@Sy &@1A
schemes for their utilization have been
looked upon by engineers as more In
the nature OF fads than mo- legitimate
engineering work worthy OF close and
serious investigation. Leaving out Of
consideration the utilization Of the tides
and waves, 1t seems worth while TO In
quire whether the power of the wind
cannot be employed for the generation
of electric current.
We venture to say that few have
ever stopped to consider the great and
rapidly increasing number OF wind
mills now In operation and the work
they are doing, principally In ~elevating
water for drainage, irrigation and do
nestle purposes. Their number alone
In this country runs into the tens OF
thousands, and the size and powers
called for are constantly increasing. It
must be evident, however, that Ii this
method of operation is to come into
general use 1T must be reduced to the
simplest possible arrangement, and TO
lack of this important feature OF sim-
plicity may be attributed the re
luctance hitherto manifested. The
three elements upon which success
In this field depends-that is, the wind
mill, the dynamo and the storage bat
tery-wiN be conceded to have all ar
rived at the stage which is called COM
mercial, so that there can be no further
question as TO the reliability. The only
other factor, then, IS the wind itself,
and on this point all sufficient data are
at hand to base calculations upon.
While the maximum and minimum
rate. OF course, vary during different
hours Of the day and with the locality,

The Freight Bureau Movement.

The merchants of this city who have
given the proposition to esta blish freight
bureau here careful consideration regard
it with much favor. A good many of
them do not yet understand it fully, and,
hence, are not aware Of the benefits the
merchants would derive from il. They
could not get a better idea of its advan-
tages than by reading the last semi-an-
nual report Of the commissioner Of the
freight bureau at New Orleans. That
bureau was established last October, and
has already done that city vast amount
of good in increasing her trade by having
transportation rates so adjusted as to put
her on an equality with other cities
which compete with her for trade.
When the bureau began to work, it
was found that New Orleans was
Disseminated against to an enormous ex-
tent. The transportation rates were
such that goods were shipped from St.
Louis and Memphis, for instance, to
points within 100 or 200 miles of New
Orleans at lower rate than they could
be shipped from New Orleans to these
points II was also found that sugar and
molasses could be shipped from New Or
leans to Memphis, and then reshipped to
points IN Virginia for at least : cents per
100 pounds less than they could be shipped
to those Virginia points direct from New
Orleans. These are only samples of the
disadvantages under which New Orleans
was laboring when the bureau was estab-
lished.
There are excellent reasons for think
ing that Savannah is greatly discrimi-
mated against in the matter of transpor-
tation rates. The rates on cotton, for in
stance, are such that thousands of bales
go to Norfolk and other points every sea-.
son that ought to come to Savannah, and,
in the matter Of fertilizers, the rates in
some respects are greatly against Savan-
nah. An investiga ton would show prob
ably that our grocery, provision, dry
goods and hardware merchants suffer
greatly from discriminating transporta-
tion rates. They have been content
with making protests, hoping that justice
would be done them, eventually, but the
time has come for them to demand fair
treatment. Doubtless many of the dis
examinations are not intended, and would
be corrected if attention were drawn to
them. Others can only be corrected by
calling the attention of those who control
the rates to them, and insisting that Sa-
vannah shall be placed upon an equality
with her competitors.
If Savannah's business men do not look
out for the interests of their city it is GER
tain that others will not, and she will
have to suffer the loss of trade which is
certain to come from discrimination in
transportation rates.
Quite a number of cities now have
freight bureaus, and they find that the
benefits arising from them are very great.
Savannah merchants cannot afford to lag
behind in this matter. They must be up
and doing. Savannah's natural advan-
tages should net her more than they do
1t is for her merchants to say whether or
not she shall have the full benefit of
them
