Again, we understand that the con-

leaf mold, the stubble of crops, dried
blood, tankage, hair and wool waste
and the organic matter of bone-intO
plant food requires the Intervention
of chemical agencies which shall
transform their inert nitrogen into
ammonia salts, or nitrates. The nat
ural forces that do this work, and do
it most cheaply and beneficially, are
those of the microbes (small life)
which the most powerful microscopes
just enable us to see, organisms that
feed upon these refuse matters in the
soil. The nitrifying microbe, which
changes agriculturally inert nitrogen
into nitrates, cannot perform it's work
in a soil where any considerable
amount of free acid other than car
bonic acid exists, but works we'll and

abundant and varied bill of fare, also

economy of commercial fertilizers is
to be attained by intelligently invest
igating what special wants the soil or
crop their various grades are adapted
to meet, and what further wants of
soil or crop must be attended to in
order to prevent impoverishment of

School Gardt MS.

While almost every imaginable
branch of education is being sup
piled to the young in this country,
the teaching of horticulture has been
remarkably overlooked. In this re-
spect Russia, which is not generally
regarded as a very far advanced
country in educational matters, can
give points to the United States.
School gardens, or small model
farms, are rapidly becoming a feat
ure of the primary schols of Russian
villages. A report for the southern
province of Ekaterinoslav states that
227 out of 5O4 schools in the province
already have small model kitchens,
orchards, tree plantations, or farms,
averaging a little more than an acre
in size, at which gardening, tree Gull
ture and silkworm culture are done
by the schoolmasters, who receive
special instructions at summer
schools from local specialists. This
province being nearly treeless, much
attention is given to tree culture,
silkworms ranking next in import
ance, and Bookkeeping and vineyards
being studied at some of the schools
In Central Russia the culture of cere-
ais takes first place at the school
farms, while in Caucasia the great
est interest is felt in silkworm cul-
ture.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Fertilizers and Barnyard Manure.

the use of the latter is the only GER
tain and proper remedy, as the eXpe-
rience on the part of thousands of
farmers in Europe and America has
thoroughly demonstrated. But the
commercial fertilizer does not, in
most cases, fully restore what the
crop removes, and as the land, by a
long series of harvests, has once been
reduced to a comparative infertility
in time, if cropped by their help alone,
which the superphosphate or potash
salt or nitrate has relieved, so it will
fail again because some substance or
condition which they have not sup
pliedhas been exhausted or destroyed.
1t is true enough that, in many in
stances, few hundred pounds of SUI
perphOsphate or bone dust or sui
plate of ammonia, or a combination
of them, has enabled field to yield
better harvests than could be got by
more costly application of stable or
yard manure. This is plainly because
the manure alone could not supply
enough of nitrogen or phosphoric acid
or of potash for the crop. 1t is also
true that in many cases the CONNER
cial fertilizer, which for a few years
far outdid the stable manure, finally
fails to perform the duty expected of
it, and the stable manure must be had
recourse to and gives satisfaction,
save in respect to the trouble and cost
of getting it. This, again, is because
the stable manure supplied something
which the commercial fertilizer could
not.
That "something" in some cases is
substance or kind of matter-it may
be lime, which in the course of crop
ping is removed from the soil in larg-
er quantity than commercial fertiliz-
ers supply, or potash which is often
wanting in superphosphates; but in
most cases it is a Condition" ''text-
ure" of the soil which is not easy to
describe, but which in the dunged
land is recognized as a mellowness
and moistness that is lacking in the
land not dunged.
Reference has been made to the fact
that lime is supplied to the land, in
small quantity, by superphosphates
1t may be added that they furnish
lime mostly as phosphate or sulphate
The well-authenticated results of eX-
perience, in British agriculture, some
forty years ago, that slime had re-
claimed more poor land than all other
fertilizers put together,' is practi-
cally acquired fact, demonstrating
that applications of carbonate of lime
Cor quicklime, which rapidly becomes
carbonate) in many cases make land
fertile by supplying one or several
conditions" favorable to crops.
We have of late years learned in
what some of these conditions consist
We know that when muriate of pot
ash and sulphate of ammonia are Civ
en- to growing crops, the potash and
ammonia are appropriated by the
plant while the muriatic acid and sui
phuric acid are left in the soil. Now
that they shall not accumulate in such
quantity as to injure vegetation, it is

sloop sapolio in Collision.

Captain Fred Darling in his sloop
Sapolio, had narrow escape from a
serious accident on Friday morning
while anchored fishing about ten miles
east of Halfway rock. 1t was sbout8 a.,
m, when the schooner Origon of Bath
appeared from the westward running for
the mouth of the Kennebeo. There was a
boy at the helm of the schooner, and her
captain WAS below. The schooner ran so
near the Sapolio that.she took off her fore
rigging and topmast. The topmast fell
over the bulwarks Of the schooner, and
catching there, the Sapolio was dragged
alongside the schooner in a dangerous
way. But the captain of the schooner
took an axe and cut the wreckage free.
He also told Capt. Darling to send bill
to him at Bath, and he would pay dam
ages The Sapolio got back to Portland
all right.

RODE TO POLAND.
The Portland Wheelmen Enjoy Sunday
Spin.

Yesterday morning twelve of the Port
land Wheel club started from their rooms
on Congress street, all equipped for a
spin to Poland and back, distance, all
told. of about forty-five miles. The word
was given little before nine o'clock and
Poland was reached at twelve O'Clock, a
stop Of half an hour having been taken
at Gray.
1t was delightful ride to Poland, and
the only incident that occurred to break
the thread of a perfect days ride was a
brake down of Mattocks and Tenney's
tandem. The wheslmen are good me-
ohanics, however, and they patched the
machine up SO well that the owners rode
on it over the entire course. The accident
took place just fifteen miles out of Port
land.
A most palatable dinner was enjoyed
at Poland and the start made for home
about three O'Clock. Then came the tug

and the riders had to buck against it all
the way. For all that Portland was
reached little before six O'Clock. We

from Boston to Portland. the club going

A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
Mrs. John w. Davis Knocked Down on
Street.

The Assailant Ran Away-SSe Has No Idea
Who He Was--Possib1y Contemplated
Robbery.
Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of John. W. Davis,
of 70 Anderson street was assaulted by
an unknown man about 9 O'Clock Satur-
day night in short lane near the foot
of Anderson street which runs from An
derson to Smith street.
Mrs. Davis was returning from the
grocery store near by and started down
the lane to call ON friend living there
and when about half way through the
lane a man suddenly jumped behind her
and threw his arms around her neck.
Mrs. Davis screamed and this frightened,
the man. He struck her blow In the
face which felled her to the ground and
then ran as fast as he could through the
lane. Some people in the vicinity, hear
ing the screams, ran to see what the
trouble was, and found Mrs. Davis Just
regaining her feet and with her face
and lips quite badly swollen where she
had been struck. Pursuit was at once
given, but the man was out of sight be-
fore help had arrived. Mrs. Davis de-
scribes her assailant as short and a ute
stout, as she caught sight of him run
ming when she fell to the ground, but
further than this could not tell any,
thing as the affair was NO sudden and
unlocked for in such locality that it
took her com pletely by surprise. When
seen by Times reporter Saturday night,
her face and lips were quite badly swol-
len and she complained Of her shoulder
whore she had struck the ground VIII n
she fell. She thinks the man must have
seen her come out of the store and fol-
lowed her when she turned into the lane,
but did not notice him at the time.
