2. Turning the vines under green
gave the poorest economic results.
(On request copies of Bulletin
No. "a. which contains the full
details of the experiment, will be
sent free. to any farmer.) AS the
season is at hand for sowing cow
peas, especially after small grain,
I wish to press the subject still
farther. The following extracts
are from Farmers Bulletin No. 16.
United States Department of Agri-
culture:
1T will thus be seen that by
green manuring with leguminous
crops it is possible to manure the
soil with nitrogen from the air, a
free and inexhaustable source, ,and
thus avoid buying fertilizers con-
tanning much nitrogen. This great
ly lessons the expense for COM
mercial fertilizers for nitrogen is
the most expensive element the
farmer has to buy. AS stated above
it costs from Is to 90 cents a
pound, while potash and phosphoric
acid cost only 5 to 7 cents or even
less. Although grains, grasses,
corn, cotton, root crops, tobacco,
etc, can not use the nitrogen of the
air, green manuring enables them
to benefit by it indirectly. x = s =;
Experiments have shown that
cowpeas respond readily to ap-
plisations of potash aud phosphates
and are able to derive their nitro
gen very largely from the air. In
as much as cowpeas are large
gatherers of nitrogen, and also
secure considerable amounts of
potash and phosphoric acid
through their extensive root system
which reaches down to the subsoil
they have a high fertilizing value.
How to get the greatest benefit
from the fertilizing constituents OF
cowpeasi is one of the problems on
which the experiment stations are
working. If the cowpeas are plow-
ed under IN the fall and the ground
left bare until spring a large share
of the nitrogen will be leached
away. By sowing wheat or rye af-
ter the cowpeas a.o plowed under
part Of this loss may be avoided
If the vines are cut and allowed tc
lie on the ground during the win
ter the nitrogen is rapidly lost. In
an experiment at the station IL
Alabama it was found that vines
gathered in October had from 1. 4;
to 2.O2 per CEN, of nitrogen. while
if loft on the ground until Januar!
they had only about 0O7 per cent

Twenty gallons of strawberries,

gallons of grapes, have been put
up, and not single gallon lost.
Every jar kept perfectly fresh. The

that every one does not put up
fruit in that way, as it is certainly
elegant, so cheap, and healthy.

prin' ed on Sunday from the Baltimore sun

almost total absence 81 relations. between
the President and the Democratic Senators.
1t shows Mr. CLEVELAND occupying posi-
ton OF almost absolute political isolation.
He has estrsnged the majority ofthe Demo
Gratis in Congress. They do not consult
him, nor does he consult them.
Some peculiarities OF manner or manners
may have had their part In accentuating
the differences between MIR. CLEVELAND
and the Democrats. but the real cause is
his rooted rtopension for solitary govern
ment. lie wishes to monupolize aud not TO
share responsibility. He has frequently
manifested in a striking way his contempt
for Congress az a body. and no doubt the
presence Of individual members " II is Of
fersive to him. he lives alone with his
policy: and with his habit OF mind. politics
becomes more and more personal matter.
and public interests are liable to be sacri-
feed to his preiudices or revenges.
We don't know that the President deserves
to be specially blamed for this, because he
can't help it. and the Democrats were
fully aware of his peculiarities when they
nominated him in 1892. OF course. when a
President tries to break down the discipline
OF his party by seeking out chronic malcon-
tents and rewarding them. and Ivy letting
slip no occasion of showing his contempt for
its trusted leaders. the party is liable to get
little discouraged: and. OF course. il is not
pleasant for Democrats TO think that the
purposes of the President are alien to theirs
ana to see the Republican holdoyers un-
disturbed: but the duty Of Democrats is not
altered thereby. They are not dependent
upon Nthe favors Of the President or of any
other man. Mr.. CLEVELAND may balk the
wishes OF the Democratic party. bring IL
into tent orary discredit by his policy and
increase the friction by ar irritating and
factional course: but the party will go its
way without him IL he chooses to be alone
We wish we could say that the Democrats
in Congress would continue tue to Demo
cratic principles whether he abandoned
these or not But. judging from the House
OF Representatives. the Democracy has
not Jared much better in that body than in
the White House. The Democratic party is
naturally cast down by its disappointment.
yet there Is nothing TO do but to go ahead
in the straight path Presidents and Con-
crosses soon get out OF the way. The
principles of the Democracy have not
changed since 1892.

A Warning.

Certain members OF Congress sesm to be
proceeding on the theory. in their defence
of the infamous Hawaiian policy OF Mr.
CLEVELAND, that patriotism is dead among
the American people, and that they have

upon which this Government was founded.
Such men are making a great mistake.
Never before in the history Of this republic
was devotion to the flag ana those princi-
pies Of popular liberty which il ymbolizes
50 deep. 50 ardent. and so universal among
the American people as II is to-day.
Voc IL the party which suffers any one Of
its representatives to defy and insult that
sentiment without visiting him with its
prompt and indignant Teprobation,
