The population of the Earth

Inc p0pulaJl0n or the EaTth.
The latest estimate in regard to the
population of the globe has been made
by French statistician, P. D. Amfre-
vile, who figures out total of about
1,480, 100000, distributed as follows:
Asia, with 1884, 900; Europe, with
357, 397, 900; Africa, with 1853, 1888, 900;
America, 12l, 713, 900; Oceanica and the
Polar regions, with 100000; Australia,
with 100000, or a grand total of 1, 479,
729, 900 souls
In connection with these data the
English statistician Schooling, makes
some interesting comments. He states
that out OF every 1000 inhabitants Of the
globe 558 live in Asia, 242 in Europe, III
in Africa, 80 in America, 5 in Australia.
1t then appears that Asia contains
more than one-half of the total popula-
ton Of the earth, and Europe nearly
one-fourth Africa contains only one
ninth and America only one twelfth. In
Australia the entire population is less
than the number Of inhabitants in the
city Of London alone, or in the cities Of
Paris and St. Petersburg mbined.
In Europe the nj mber Of inhabitants
to the square mile is 95; in Asia it is 49;
in Africa it is Is; in America it is 8; in
Oceanica and the Polar regions it is 3;
ia Australia only l.
According to the figures of this expert,
as published in the Literary Digest, the
yearly increase on the globe is about
five to every thousand, at which ratio
the population Of tie earth would be
doubled every 1870 years. Should this
increase be kept up it would be easy
to forsfe the time when the sign ''stand
played, but in point of fact the increase
is kept in check by wars, epidemics and
other calamities that occasionally come
to weed out the surplus population.
In reference to the density of popula-
ton, Belgium takes; the lead, with
546 to square mile, followed by Eng
land with 312, Italy with 1858, Germany
with 237, France with 1874, Austro-Hun-
gary with III, Spain with 80, Russia
with 40. The average of all the other
countries is AZ to the square mile, and
the average for all Europe is SO.
1t will be noticed that the most thinly
settled of these countries, Russia, is
more than eight times as thickly
settled as Southern California, where
there are only about six inhabitants tc

Commercial Fertilizers.

IlzerS ana gives several tables of analy-
ses. Laws requiring the station to COL
lect samples from retail dealers scattered
over the state and TO analyze these and
publish the results, have brought about
great care on the part of the manufac-
turers and notable improvement in
both the composition and mechanical
condition of fertilizers. AS soils differ,
even in the different fields Of the same
farm, no general rule can be given for
ferJilizing, except to apply those ele-
ments in which the soil is deficient and
this can be ascertained only by trial. To
one small plat ia the field apply potash,
to another phosphoric acid and to an
other nitrogen. Plant and cultivate all
alike and on same days. Have all the
plats the same size, and leave two or
three of them unfertilized for com pari-
son. Next year apply those elements
that produced the best results as COM
pared with the unfertilized plats, and
in relative quantities proportional to the
results. If the nitrogen plats gave
double the yield of the unfertilized plats,
and the potash gave half as much in
crease as the nitrogen and the phos-
phoric acid gave no increase, then let
next years fertilizer contain twice as
much nitrogen as potash, and no phos-
phate at all. q
1t is most commendable practlce
to add commercial fertilizers to barn
yard manure, as the matter contains
bulky material that will hold moisture
and keep the fertilizers from being
wasted by evaporation and by teaching.
In buying fertilizers of the same kind,
always select those which are most
finely pulveriZed and drieSt. Remem-
Der that you buy by weight, and when
you buy wet or moist fertilizer you are
paying big price per pound for many
pounds of water. Two sam Piles of ferti-
yer Of equal purity may differ so to 100
per cent in value on account of moisture.
Five samples of cotton seed hull ashes
analysed were found to contain five to
16 pounds water in each 100 pounds.
The potash varied from nine to %
pounds and phosphoric acid from four
to % pounds per 100. OF eight samples
Of cotton seed meal analysed, some con-
tanned six and others 10 pounds water
in each 100 pounds, and the nitrogen
varied from two pounds in one sample
to eight In another, per 100. A liquid
fertilizer for house plants, sold at 25
cents per bottle, was found to contain
but two or three cents worth of fertiliz-
ing matter.

was found that the high-grade and
therefore high priced fertilizers were
really the cheapest Those who paid
$35 per ton got more nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid, and potash for a dollar,
than those who paid less. One manufact-
urer offered a mixture at $27.30 per ton,
and another containing three times as
much of the fertilizer ingredients at $50
per ton, and yet the first had larger
sale than the last. 1t was found that
those who paid less than $50 per ton
got go cents worth of plant food for one
dollar; those who paid $50 got 81 cents
worth of plant food for one dollar, and
those who paid S35 per ton got SO cents
worth for one dollar. Hence while those
who paid the highest prices came near
estssgetting the worth of their money.
The selling price Of fertilizers has
teadily decreased from 1885 to 1895,
but has been about the same in 1896 as
in 1895.

should be in the hands of every man
who uses commercial fertilizers. 1t de-
tails experiments at the station and in
Germany, which upset all popular no.
tions as to the value of bone meal. The
general opinion has been that as a
source Of phosphoric acid bone meal is
fLon hos
phate, and it was generally sold for
nearly twice as much per ton. But
these experiments prove that ordinary
bone meal has almost no value what
ever except for the nitrogen it contains.
Il is worth no more than the raw phos-
plate rocks, but like them, it's phos-
phoric acid may be made available by
treating it with sulphuric acid.
Phosphoric acid is sold in five forms;
namely: One part acid combined with
of water; l part acid with l of lime
and 2 of water; part acid with 3 Of
lime and of water; l part acid with 3
of lime; and l part acid with 4 of lime.
These parts are by bulk, not weight.
One part of phosphoric acid weighs
nearly three times as much as an equal
bulk Of llme-fifty-six pounds of lime
having the same bulk as 142 pounds of
acid. Now the less lime there is in
com bination with phosphoric acid, the
more soluble it is, and the more valu-
able as fertilizer. The first form of
phosphoric acid above mentioned Il part
acid to of water) is found in very high
grade uperphosphates. The second
form in superphosphates, called soluble
phosphate; the third in dissolved bone
meal, called reverted phosphate; the
fourth in bones and phosphate rock,
and is called bone phosphate, and it is
very slowly soluble in soil waters; the
fifth in phosphate slag-a refuse of
dross from melted iron ore, often called
Thomas Stag, and almost insoluble in
the soil.
By mixing 100 pounds pure sulphuric
acid with 112 pounds bone meal, we get
soluble phosphate but it has very un-
desirable properties; hence it is better
to make dissolved bone meal by mixing
eighty pounds pure sulphuric acid with
ffty-six pounds bone meal.

RAISES A QUESTION
The Suit of Mary C0tter Against the
Grand Lodge, A. 0. U. W.
A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED
1t Is Denied That the Lodge Is a
Corporatlon. and Is Claimed
That One Member is as
Much Liable as Another.

The grand lodge of the A. o. u. w.
| of Montana, through its attorney, ]. w.
Kinsley of Helena, yesterday filed its
| answer to the suit of Mary Cotter, the
| beneficiary in an insurance policy car
ried by her father, Daniel p. Cotter,
who died some time ago, and the an
swer raises a question that will be of
curious interest not only to every
member of the A. o. Il. w. in Mon
tana, but in every other jurisdiction as
well. Cotter at the time of his death
was in good standing in Butte lodge,
but a long time prior to his death he
had been suspended for the non-pay-
ment of dues but subsequently he was
reinstated and paid his dues regularly
up to the time of his death. When he
was reinstated, however, the secretary
of the local lodge neglected to notify
the state examiner of the fact and the
mistake was not discovered until after
Cotter's death. when the grand lodge
refused to pay the insurance, although
the mans dues had been accepted each
month by the grand lodge. The local
lodge wanted the insurance paid, but
the grand lodge officers were obstinate
and Mary Cotter the beneficiary, was
compelled to bring suit. Her attorneys
are Howell & Harvey and they brought
the action against the grand lodge as
corporation.
In the answer filed yesterday il is de-
MED that the grand lodge is a corpora
ton and alleges that II is an unincor-
porated, voluntary beneficiary associa-
ton composed OF individuals and that
one member is as much liable as an
other In short, the answer in effect
claims that the grand lodge, as a body,
cannot be sued but that the action
must be against every individual mem
Der of the subordinate lodges in the
state. 1t is claimed that If that plead
ing is good there would be no remedy
for any one having a claim against
the order and that benefciaries whose
claims are disputed would be utterly
powerless and would have to accept the
decision of the grand lodge officers as
final
So far as could be determined yes
terday a similar question has never
been raised in any state in suits against
the a. o. L. w, although numerous
suits on Insurance policies have been
brought against the order Nearly all
other benevolent societies are incorpo-
rated so that such a question has, so
FAR as known, not been raised in a
similar action before. Under a rule of
the supreme lodge. A. O. u. w, the
state grand lodges are not allowed to
In the answer filed YES
terday the further defense is set up
that Cotter. after having been sus-
pended, was not properly reinstated
and did not undergo another medical
examination, as was required by the
laws or the order. The result of the |
case will doubtless be watched with a
great deal of interest.

Barney Schrieber has secured a three

shown good judgment in securing this
animal, as Australian crosses have
proven the very best with native mares.
Aside from that general statement, the
Musket blood is very much sought for
now, and is thought very highly of in
Australia and England. Carbine and
