Professionals Will Boycott Them

Chicago. Feb. 16.-The Chronicle this
morning publishes the following:
The professionals have started a
boycott on the national meet of the
National League of American Wheel
men to be held at Philadelphia This
is the programme of revenge that the
men have planned to even up with the
total disregard for their interests
shown at the recent assembly at AL
bany. 1t is probable that before the
season is actively on, the organization
that has tried with questionable sue
cess to control racing will have for
midable disSensions within itself to
contend with. A rival league with the
interests of the professionals at heart
is likely to be the result.

Il declare my belief that President
Mckinley and the other leaders of the

may, by wise designs and virtuous

making it the true party OF the people,

Number of Hills 10 the Acre.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Oblige me by giving your solution OF
this question, worked out: the diter-
ence I'm number OF hills on one acre or
land cultivated. thus: One acre. rows .
feet wide, hills 10 inches apart; one
acre rows ID feet wide; hills II inches
apart. -
Wilmington, Fluvanna county, Va
The number of square feet In one acre
is 1x4x40x 3OiI x 9=4356O. The square
roo, of 1850 equals 2Os.7, which is the
number of feet in the side of square
acre.
2Os Z feet divided by 8 feet=69.5; POST
feet divided by Is inches, or II feet=lSs'l.
We add 1 to each to take IN each end.
14GX 7O=9sOO, which is the number OF
hills on the first supposition. 2OS.7 feet
divided by 81 feet=59.5 2OS.7 feet d.
yided by II inches or l foot=2OS.7; 2O9S
fo=l254O. which is the number OF hills on
the second supposition. 1254O-9SOO=274O,
which IL the difference in number OF hills
asked for.
The above solution is given on the sup
postion that the whole space is used
and that the number of intervals for
planting must be a whole number.

oblge. H. D.
Chilesburg. Va.
The quantity Of lime which should be
put upon the land depends on the ma
ture of the soil and the character OF
the crop. There are many soils which
have already a sufficient quantity Of
lime for all purposes. Soils which are
very impervious to water and contain
large quantities Of clay, as rule, are
benefited by the application of lime.
The quantity used may range from TWO
TO four tons per acre, and some
times even larger quantities are en-
ployed.
The lime is best applied by spreading
II as evenly as possible over the sur
face of the soil. After it is thoroughly
Stacked. It should be ploughed under al
forwards becoming thoroughly mixed
with the soil by cultivation Lime may
also sometimes be advantageously USED
as a top-dressing for pasture and
meadow lands, in which case, of course,
it is not ploughed under.
Our correspondent should write to the
Director Of the Agricultural Experiment
Station Of Virginia, at Blacksburg' de-
scribing the character Of his land, and
get instructions as to the use OF lime
from the Director Of the station.

It certainly is disheartening to pa.
tent TO find that the treatment he il
given for disease is more disastrous
than the disease itself. Such Is the
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made In many branches Of medicine,
the doctors have failed Absolutely 20
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but one kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether in
the form Of powder, pill or liquid, the
Doctors prescription Is always the
same-potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said Of the harm
full and disastrous effectsof these drugs.
The doctors are unable 70 rid the sys-
tenn of the poison, and direct their
efforts toward covering up the symp-
toms from view. There is but one ef-
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury-they bottle up the poison
and dry il up in the system, but Il
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow in the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
ity. Those disfguring copper-colored
splotches are but indications Of worse
results to follow. No sooner has the
system taken on the full effects Of this
powerful drug than that snppleness
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the racking
pains Of rheumatism. The form grad

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
To a student Of language, and especially
OF spoken language, our community pre-
sents many interesting peculiarities. Per-
haps there are few localities that present
so many peculiarites of pronunciation
among the better classes as does that
portion of Virginia between the Blue
Ridge and the bay. We find here that a
considerable number of the elementary
sounds OF the language have been dis
placed by others that are peculiar to the
section while a vast number Of words
have been so changed in sound as 10 pro-

toned TO their correct use

structors glory in these peculiariues
They boot at the idea OF teaching the
correct forms, and give as reason for not
doing so that these incorrect forms are
used In Virginia and that makes them
right.
Have these teachers considered this
question fully in its bearing upon them
selves individually. upon their pupils,
upon Englshmen In general, and upon
humanity?
No teacher who approaches this subject
with O fixed determination that he Will
not accept the correct form because 1t Is
used by a community against which there
has grown up strong sectional feeling,
or because his own community is welded
to the wrong form. is in position to at
tain the highest culture This spirit when
fostered in connection with the most
trivial matters, will develop and
strengthen so as TO close the mind TO the
reception Of truth In many other forms.
The individual becomes iron-clad In his
views and accepts as correct only what
has been forced upon him by contact with
mis- own narrow world How frequently
do we find individuals who began to de-
velop this sr'~it OF narrowness in small
matters become so contracted that they
can find no good in anything outside OF
their own community their own order
or society, or, as Is frequently the case,
In nothing outside of themselves.
But this IS not the sorest evil OF this
spirit We hear a great deal about normal
teaching, and teachers everywhere are
striving to attain TO normal methods.
Normal teaching is teaching according

Notwithstanding all this, when teacher
enters the scnool-room, he enters with the
express understanding that he is to teach
that which Is correct, and every pupil

Why Not Cut the Leavesf

The leaves are left uncut because many
readers like TO have the pleasure Of cut
ting them, but more particularly because
those who save their numbers to be
bound IN volumes can thus have neatly
trimmed edges on their books. But we
cannot but think that TO the latter class
the convenience of tens OF thousands is
sacrificed.
