Fert.1,zine in the Spring.

Perhaps there will be greater use
of fertilizers this month and next
than at any other season of the year,
and farmers who procure them may
easily expend more than is necessary
or fail to secure the kinds which will
be the most beneficial to them. The
wants Of the land and the crop should
be studied before the fertilizers are
applied, and 1t is in this respect that
the farmer can be wise or make Il mis-
take. Ii, by study or experiment, he
can understand how best to apply
plant food to the most favorable adj
vantage, he will not only effect
saving in expense, but increase the
products Of his farm. Manure is Il
staple plant food on all farms, and Il
farmer cannot use too much of it,
but 1t is seldom that suiiicicncy can
be had. The progressive farmer now
uses fertilizers not only to increase
his crops but also to prevent loss of
fertility. Soils may be rich in some
substances and poor in others, being
unable to produce full crops because
single substance is needed to sup
ply the crop with complete plant food
Soil exhaustion occurs mostly on
farms where but one or two crops
are grown as specialties. For in
stance, when corn and wheat are
grown on the same land in succession
for few years, there will be Il heavy
drain on the soil for the elements that
enter into the composition of those
crops. the most costly of which is
nitrogen. When applying fertilizers
to such lands, nitrogen ana pllosphoric

will perhaps contain more potash than

says:
The commission sent here on behalf of

rights aas been thus far unsuccessful.
Spanish influence is strong here, and the
president refuses to aid the Cubans on
the grouu that it might lead to viola

That portion of Cleveland's message re-
ferring to the Cuban question evoked
lively comment yesterday at tie head i.
quarters of the revolutionary junta in

objected to the presidents describing
American sympathy With the Cubsps as
sentimental. Senior Palma felt that the

that the hopes Of Cnbans everywhere
