The amount used in 1895 has not yet

the counties along the Ohio river about
1873. Their use has gradually extended
norshward, especially along the eastern
border of the State. Probably 80 per cent.
of the fertilizers applied in the State are
used south OF the line drawn from Fort
Wayne to Terre Haute. The land on which
fertilizers are most extensively and profit
ably used are clay lands, and most of the
fertilizer is used on the wheat crop. For
the most profitable returns different kinds
of fertilizers are required for different soils.

more phoSphoric acid than nitrogen or
epotash. Clay soils are almost always de-
ficient in phosphoric acid. In 1894 for every
100 pounds OF phospnoric acid in our fer

pounds or nitrogen and eight pounds of

The annual expenditures for fertilizers in
Indiana is about 81 100000.

ported from the State in grain alone

of the corn fodder. wheat and oat straw
produced in the State. The amount of plant
food drawn each year from the soil by
these three side products represent a
value of about SS0O0.000. The results of
this heavy drain on our soils are yearly be-
coming more evident.
Commercial fertilizers have a legitimate
part to play in helping to keep up the pro-
ductiveness of the soil; but It would be I'M
wise to depend on them alone when we have
such valuable side products at hand The
rational course to pursue is to utilize all
material. including the clover crop grown on
the farm, and then IL il can be profitably
done. to supplement these with commercial
fertilizers.
There is a wide range in the composition
OF the $50 different brands of fertilizers on
our market and the question often arises
as to which kind can be most profitably
used. The farmer must In many cases an

But 1t would be unwise to at once give
up the use Of a line of goods of class that
had proven satisfactory TO make a trial
OF different type of goods. A trial on a
small scale will involve less risk Yet we
should not rest with simply profitable re-
suit The real aim Is to find the method of
combining the manurial material OF the
farm with such purchased fertilizers as will
give the greatest net profits consistent with
maintaining the productiveness of the soil.

TALK WITH Ii HUNG CHANG.
The Chinese Statesman Favors Amer.
fcan Teachers and Physicians.
Bishop Hendrix. in the Independent.


The most outspoken OF all the leading
men of China whom 1t was my great priv
nege TO meet was Ii Hung Chang the
senior Grand Secretary of State and. con-
iessediy, China's greatest statesman Dur
Ing more than an hours interview the con-
versation had reference especially to three
things. namely: The railroad development
of China, the work Of the missionaries and
the condition of things in Corea, whence /
had just come. On my expressing the wish
that he might some time visit America,
where his name was the best known of any
living ssiatic Ii replied: II am rather old
for that, but 1 may yet be able to come.
Would you let me run for President If /
should come to the United States?' / an
swered: No; but We might make you CON-
sulting member of the Cabinet" "Hi," he
said. that will do" On promising him a
railroad ride from one end OF our country
to the other. / continued: I'VE have one
half of the railroad mileage of the world.
and we think In America that II your Ex-
cellency had his way China would have a
large part Of the other half" Whereupon
he gave an impatient sweep of his arm and
replied: Yes: would have it In China as
in the States-railroads everywhere" He
spoke of the great poverty Of China as him
dering such rapid railroad building as was
desirable, but expressed the conviction that
railroads could not longer be delayed, and
that such energy as built the great wall
would be found available when IL came TO
building railroads.
the work OF the missionaries in China.
about which he asked as many questions
as about the. recent emeute In Corea and
its effect on Japanese and Russian influence
in the affairs OF the hermit nation. On his
asking how many American missionaries
there were IN China, and my replying some
six hundred, Including the women. Ii began
to ask especially about those engaged In
school and hospital work. as well as about
the number and location OF the schools and
hospitals. He spoke at some length OF
the great service which both the schools
and hospitals of the missionaries had been
TO China, and how much they needed yet
more. Having twice asked: Cant you
persuade the American people 10 send over
more teachers and physicians?" i replied
'If all were like your Excellency. IL would
be much easier to send over more" The
great Viceroy then said, with much en-
phasis: Say to the American people for
me 10 send over more for the schools and
hospitals, and i hope to be In position
both TO aid them and to protect them"
