WaIdteufel Statuary.

The United States Grand Jury was engaged
yesterday in looking into the WaldIeufel stat
uary case. 1t will be remem mbered that several
months ago Treasury Agent Major Moore
called the attention of Collector Wise to the
fact that there were exposed for sale in A.
Waldleufel & Co.'s store on Market street three
which duties lad not been paid, and which
had been imported into the country with an
order OF similar goods for Rev. Father Hahn
of Banning. This work was evidently done by
falsifying the invoice. The goods at the Mar
kel-street store were seized and now the
Grand Jury is endegvoring 10 find who is the
guilty party who got the goods landed under
the circumstances stated. The priest from
Banning was among the witnesses before the

The Elements of Fertility.

Bulletin No. Al of the Minnesota agricultural
experiment station is an interesting and valua-
BILE report relating to the essential elements
OF soil fertility and showing the effects of diff
ferent methods of farming upon the conserva-
tion of those elements. The essential ele-
ments most liable TO be deficient are nitrogen
phosphorus, potassium and calcium. In grain
farming, in producing and removing one acre
OF wheat grain and straw there is loss of
IL pounds of phosphorc acid, 20 pounds of
potash and 80 pounds of nitrogen, making a
total loss of 63 pounds of mineral matter Oats
tgrain and straw removes from each acre
Is pounds of phosphoric acid 45 pounds of
potash and 90 pounds of nitrogen-113 pounds
of mineral matter. These figures illustrate
the loss of fertility by exclusive grain farm
ing. The conclusion is reached as a result
Of experiments, that In dairy farming there is
no loss of fertility, but rather gain.- Fall
plowing keeps the nitrogen of the soil in bet
ter condition than late spring plowing. The
change Of the nitrogen from humus to availa-
BILE forms Cknown as nitrihcaton) goes on in
the soil until quite late in the fall. This
change is most rapid near the surface where
there is plenty Of oxygen from the air. In
early fall plowing this available nitrogen is
near the surface, where it does the growing
crops the most good. In late spring plowing
this available nitrogen is plowed under and
raw nitrogen is brought to the surface. Per-
feet drainage is an important factor of nitrif-
cation; in saturated soils it can not take place
on account Of the exclusion of the air Too
much nitrogen causes a rank growth of straw
and leaves.

HE WROTE TO THE TIMES.
How Mr.. Gust ReVengcd Himself on
William Waldorf AstOr.

William Waldorf Astor, whose inclinations
led him to forsake America and betake him
self with all his ancestral millions to London,
Where he has been amusing himself by pub
fishing newspaper, has just given new ex-
hibition of his independence by discharging
his editor. Henry Cockayne Gust, the gentle
man who has been summarily dismissed
seems to have lost not only his position but
his temper as WELL He did what every En-
glishman does when he gets angry-wrote a
letter to the Times
From Mr.. Gusts standpoint the dismissal
was an outrage. 1t is the first check in a
somewhat brilliant career. When he reflects
that he is not only a journalist of unsurpass-
ing attachments, but the nephew and heir pre-
sumptive of Earl Brownlow. of ancient Lin
colnshire family, and that the Brownlow Gusts
belong to the most exclusive circles Of English
society. the afront becomes the more unbear-
able. Mr.. Gust is a young man. but he agrees
with his intimate friends, who admit that he
has shown unusual talents.
He was elected to parliament after an ex-
citing political contest and for a while his
political future looked very bright. but about
two years ago his aggressive synicism stirred
up some of his cordial enemies to say some
very disagreeable things about him, some of
dered his seat in parliament and ceased to
shine quite so conspicuousy in society. Mr.
Gusts own good opinion of himself was evi-
IDENTIFY unimpaired, for he continued to be
as airy and as cynical as ever.
When he engaged to help Mr. Astor run
the Pail Mall Gazette, he was pleased with
the good taste shown by the rich American.
He set out to conduct the paper in an aggres-
sive style peculiar to himself. 1t seems that
he received hints from time to time from Mr.
Astor but he calmly ignored them AS Mr..
Astor was not running the paper for money
alone, but as an amusement, he objected to
having 1t made the playthng of one of his
employees He asked Mr.. Gust to resign.
Mr., Gust refused to do anything so detri-
mental to MIR. Astor's best interests and he
was discharged. Much to the surprise of Mr.
Gust, the Pail Mall Gazette is still running.

Minnesota dairymen have no occasion to
fear that butter will rule too low this sea-
son. With our great crops of grain abundant
pastures and cooperative system we can
produce butter much cheaper than can be
done east of the Mississippi. AT ruling prices
of feed-stuffs 1t takes about six cents worth
of feed to produce a pound of butter. The
average cost OF manufacture in our cooper
ative creameries does not exceed two cents
With low prices dairying will decrease in
the. East. and the Northwest with It's SUI
perior advantages will be master Of the situa-
ton. Creameries that have a TO- O00-pound
run need. therefore, have no fear as to prices !;
the law of supply and demand will play a
very important part in finally deciding
where butter can be produced at the least
cost. We have the feed at our DOORS and
pay freight only on the butter. while the
great majority of Eastern dairymen pay
freight on the grain from the West. 1t re-
quires about 10 pounds of grain to produce
pound Of butter; we pay freight on one
pound of butter, while they pay freight on 10
pounds of grain. The duty of the hour is to
keep. the COWS in full flow by generous and
regular feeding; make preparation for an
abundance of feed during the summer months
and thus by increasing the annual product
from our cows we cheaper the cost Of pro-

Something Wrong Somewhere.

Hoard's Dairyman.
Senator Averell, of Connecticut in a very
interesting address on MIX for New York, -
read at the recent meeting of the Connecti-
CUT Dalrylnen,s association. stated that the av-
, erase price received for milk in Connecticut
tne last ten years was two and one-half cents
quart. He does not say whether this is the
price net or not, but we assume that IL is
the net price. He further says: '"The only
things that will be added to the farmer who
sends milk to New York are gray hair and
mortgages. So far it's final effect on the
Iarm, we are willing to admit that selling milk
is very destructive to fertility, and that is
the worst kind OF mortgage. But there are
several things about this business we would
like TO say which Senator Ayerell does not
say, and they are these:
FlfSt-No man has any business to sell milk
IN the market from COW that will not pro
duce at least 1900 quarts or 5000 pounds in a
year.
Second.f he does use a COW of less capaci-
~, ne Will not get enough from her to make
the profit he ought to figure for s+ -t'
Th1rd-Three thousand quarts at two and
one-haIf cents quart amounts to S75. There
is not dairy farmer, in Wisconsin at least
VINO would not jump at a chance to earn $75
per COW, and would guarantee to keep back
mortgages, If not gray hairs at that figure,
Men have got rich here with cows that did
not earn over $50 per COW, by the year.
The difficulty with the Connecticut milk
dalrymen, as well as thousands of other dairy
men, is not so much the price they get per
quart as 1t is the amount it costs per quart
10 produce that milk. Too many of them are
Keeping 1,o0O or 2000-quart cows and the cost
of keep eats up all profit at such a low rate

the head OF the average dairy farmer of the
land, that the cost of making milk must be
measured by the rule of per quart, per COW.

Claim Uncle Sam Wants Cuba for
Himself

MADRID, March 22.-La Epoca, the
leading Spanish ministerial organ,
says: can exhaustive examination of
the accounts published by the leading
American newspapers of the debates
in congress shows that, setting aside
hypocrisy, the real issue, as some SEN
ators point out, is whether the United
States can take possession of Cuba by
force or not.
IF they can, why let them declare
war against us; let them set their
fleets in motion, and send them to Gu
ba. They need not doubt that we will
receive them as it behooves us to do
If they cannot declare war, then let
these debates cease, and let Spain gov-
ern herself with the liberty she is en-
titled to, and which nobody can limit.
Anything is better than to go on
threatening and hiding under the veil
of jingoism, no longer fashionable, the
well known intentions of those whose
aspirat ton is the independence of Cuba,
in order to obtain it's annexation after
wards
