IS SALT A FERTILszER7


what . German Agricultural writer Las

The use OF salt as . fertilizer has
often been urged, and examples Of ap-
parently beneficial results have been
cited. But now comes 8 German writer.
T. von Her6. and says:
"The use Of salt for fertilixing pur-
poses is still prevailing to some extent,
and especially in such agricultural re-
gions where fertilizers have only re-

principles Of artificial manuring sre ~
vet little understood
at il true that salt occasionally pro-
duces, upon some crops and upon cer-
tain soils, moderate increase Of yield
for a season or two. but the apparent
benefit is not lasting; on the contrary,
such applications leave the soil in an
impoverished conditions: that is, . con-
tinued application of salts il followed
by decreasing yields. Thas;eRect Of
common salt il readily explained by
the fact that it acts as solvent upon
potash compounds contained in the
soil, and potash being plant food,
causes an increased yield Salt in this
manner acts - stimulant and ens1les

of increasing fertility it promotes .

brilliancy, but he proved = safe mazA
Whenever great crises seemed to
threaten the stability Of the state, the
president stood for the republic
against monarchists. revolutionists
and radicals- His conservatism
brought to his support the best sle-
ment In al parties. When the Boulan-
gist excitement turned the heads Of
the fabble he dealt with the leaders Of
the movement gently. but firmly. Tho
popular idol was shown to be a thing
Of brass, soft ~ wax in the hands Of
royalist conspirators who hoped to re-
store the decaying Bourbons to tho
throne Of France. When the auar-
chists defied the law, the president re-
fused to interfere with the judgments
of the courts. Brilliant men are some
times dangerous. especially in France.
A true conservative, on the other
hand, can govern the people of Paris
with credit TO himself and the nation.
1t is nm old axiom that In . polit' cal
sense. Paris Is France. Sadi-Cai not

by remarkable firmness. He restored
the diplomatic power Of France and
reorganized the army; but was fitted,
neither by education nor inclination,
TO checkmate successfully the con-
spiracies Of political opponents. His

bly, elected rs his successor Jules Grevy.

ruined him by engaging In the sale OF
orders and becoming connected with
other doubtful schemes. No one be-
lieved that Grevy knew anything about
these dishonest transactions, but the
scandal weighed SO heavily ON tho
presidents mind that he considered Il
his duty to resign. 1t was believed In
every capital of Europe that the as
sembly would elect the brilliant NJ.

vote the statesmen could not unite on
