Nor THE GUILTY PARTY.-Officer
TIGER yesterday arrested strange
youth named Frank Nelson, who was
said to have been with the youngster
who cut James Constantinopolis,
the Greek fruit dealer, yester-
day afternoon. He was brought before
the Mayor this morning, but the fact
was established that he knew nothing
of the aflray. His evidence, however,
showed he was tramp, though he
was respectfully attired and did not
have the appearance of nomad, and
he was ordered to leave the city at
once. He is said to have been cut by a
young man from Washington, who is
well known in this city, being in the
habit Of coming here occasionally on
peddling expeditions. Constantinopo-
lis received six cuts in the left side be-
sides having his overcoat hacked to
pieces. His assailant returned to
Washington on the 4:30 boat.

think that the bare lint carried little
off the land necessary for it's fertility.
Such is far from the facts. The analysis
of the whole cotton plant, lint, seed,
stems, etc, would seem to indicate
that phosphoric acid and potash are
required in about equal proportions,
the potash slightly in excess. A re-
cruiting fertilizer, therefore, would be
made to contain say 5 per cent. phos
phoric acid and 6 per cent. potash. Let
us see what 20 years of such practice
has done hggRkhe South.
In ~thGHt#enty years from 1874 to
1894, the production Of lint cotton
amounted to SO, 129, 222, 492 pounds.
1t is obvious that little or none of this
material found it's way back to the
land as manure. In this lint sold off
the farms was contained 70 981, 8O2
pounds OF phosphoric acid and 500, 6O2,-
Gal pounds of potash. That is 81 pounds
Of potash for each one pound of phos
phoric acid. Is it any wonder that the
soils of the South are deficient in pot
ash9 The excess of potash over phos-
phoric acid, thus removed from the
soils Of the South is the equivalent of
443, 472 tons of high grade sulphate, or
1,773, 1888 IONS of kainit, an amount of
potash equivalent to that contained in
1919 S73 bushels OF wheat? Facts are

LAW N ORDER.


Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer:

tbetorders should be maintained. When
human law or social order violates JUS
tice it cannot be respected and itshould
not be maintained. When bad G1C
and bad order forbid to any, that lib
erty which may be common to all It's
subjects, without injury to the just
rights of any one Of them, such claw

be changed for good law and good or
der changed by it's subjects, by repre-
sentative legislation when that is pos

only when popular Legislation has be-

representatives of the people, by virtue
of their personal ambition, cupidity, or
personal sympathies, successfully and
persistently legislate for the advantage
and especial interest of a part, a thus

course remains to the unfavored
masses, subjects of such law and
order9
If, and SO long as, the people have
control, and power to change the law,
the law should, the law must be

power to make or to change the law
has passed from control of the people
into control of a minority, a small part
Of the people, enforced obedience to
the law becomes tyranny, and the
duty Of revolution becomes a higher
duty than obedience to law. This Gov
eminent of the United States is the off
spring of that acknowledged principle
of right, the right of revolution. Both
the citizen legislator and the citizen
elector should keep that higher right
in mind, while we stand with uncov-
cred head in the presence Of the LGtG,
and let their consciousness of the ex
istence OF that right modify their acts.

The world, encircled by thousands

has reached a fertility which can give

But between this plenty ripening on
the boughs of our civilization and the
people hungering for 1t steps the cor

right, for their private profit, to regu-
late the consumption by the people of
the necessaries of life, and to control
production, not by the needs of human
ity, but by the desires of a few for
dividends. The coal syndicate thinks
there is too much coal. There is too
much iron, too much lumber, too much
flour, for this or that syndicate.
The majority have never been able
to buy enough of anything; but this
minority have too much of everything
to sell. X y X y
The men and women who do the

LOSSES TO THE LAND.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
The money crop on the farm Is that
which is sold, as such, off the farm and
the replacement of the fertilizing in
gradients in which constitute almost
wholly the problem of recuperative
manuring. Every farmer understands
that it is necessary to put something
back on the land" but how to do this
in an economical mi is the con-
slant study Of hundreds Of the best
technologists in the world. The vast
chemical fertilizer industry grew out
of this problem. 1t is an effort to sup
ply the necessary elements Of fertility
in, for example, a bushel Of wheat at a
less cost than may be obtained for the
same when sold, in the form of grain.
Suppose, for the sake of illustration,
that the cost of producing one bushel
Of wheat is 80 cents-labor, rent of
land, manure, etc. Suppose it's value
as a feed stuff is 40 cents and it's fertil-
izing elements after such use are worth
10 cents. 1t is then evident that If fed
to stock on the farm and the manure
carefully saved, there will be neither
loss o gain in the operation. But
suppose the elements of fertility, in the
form of chemicals may be purchased
for five cents. Them it is evident that
the bushel of wheat may be sold off
the farm, 40 cents paid for production,
exclusive of manure, five cents for re-
placing the necessary amount Of fertil-
izer, leaving five cents profit on the
transaction. The whole problem is a
simple matter Of buying in the cheap
est market and selling in the dearest,
but the intermediate stages are * com
plicated that few men Can clearly fol-
low out the steps.
In many instances the natural stores
of fertility In the soil have been such
as to permit cropping a long time wich-
QUO compensation to the land, but in
the long run such farming methods
arrive at the same conditions of less
favored localities. Plants cannot be
fed on air. Selling milk, wheat, corn,
hay and similar crops off the farm
without due and even return in ma
nurial matters, must 5000 put an end
to profitable farming. The fertilizing
materials in this case are exhausted 10
about the same proportions needed for
growth that is, the land loses nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid in about
the same relative proportions the grow
ing plants require them. The potash
and phosphoric acid maintain practic-
ally uniform proportions, and manur
made from the crops grown may be
used with success; or a chemical fer
tilizer resembling same in composition.
/ With cotton or tobacco, however, the
circumstances are different. The parts
of these crops sold off the farm carry
awey @ disproportionste quantity of
potash-beyond the reach of the usual
return as manure. Neither may ''be
fed on the place" and the fertilizer in
gradients thus retained in proper bal
ance on the farm. Such, perhaps. is
one of the chief causes why the soils of
the Southern States are to dav uni
formly deficient in available potash
To illustrate, suppose the stems, seeds
hulls, etc., of the cotton plant are care,
fully retained IN the land. One might

Weather for August.

Prof. ". T. Foster of St Joseph, Mo,
predicts an unusually cold, chilly month
for August. His predictions seldom fail
He says:
Unusual weather may be expected he xt
month; unusual in many respects Kill
ing frosts will occur in some portions of
the Northen States
These frosts will probably occur at two
periods in the month with an interval of
about two weeks. OF course extensive
frosts are not expected in this midsummer
month
These frost dates will come with the
cool waves expected to cross the CONT
nent from 9th to 10th and 18th to 22d.
The temperature of August will aver
age above on the Pacific Slope, below in
the great Central Valleys and about nor
mai average temperature will be in the
Ohio, issiouri and upper Mississippi
Valleys and the upper lake country
The cool weather of August will pro-
baby retard the corn crop so that late
corn WI be injured by the general killing
fro5ts aeout the middle of September in
the nor 1ern corn belt
Cold waves very seldom occur in Au-
gust bat IN limited part of the upper

ture must fall as much as twenty degrees
