potash in Apricnltnre'

is the title of a pamphlet, published by
the German Kali Works, No. 90 Nassau
Street, New York City. This book is
known to many of our readers from it's
first edition, published few years ago.
The second edition contains many valu.
able improvements.
The contents embody collection of
rt suits obtained with fertilizers at our
Experiment Stations. 1t would appear
from these conclusions that many brands
of fertilizers now on the market do not
contain as much potash as they should
for the production of the best results. 1t
would certainly pay every farmer to write
for copy of this book, which we under.
stand is sent free.

The gemsbok, q species OF antelope
abounds on the dry yet fertile plains
of South Africa, where It feeds on the
bulbs Of water-root and other kinds OF
succulent vegetation, by means Of
which the antelopes OF these regions
are able 20 subsist for months together
without water. This antelope is
large and powerful animal, measuring
about FIVE feet in length and over three
feet in height at the shoulders. Its
horns are situated on the same plane
with its forehead: they exceed two feet
In length, are almost straight, little d..
verging and are obscurely ringed
throughout their lower half The color
OF the upper part OF the body is a rusty
gray and OF the under part white, while
these are separated from each other by
well defined black band on each side
These bands unite on the breast, aud
are continued as a single black band
until reaching the lower jaw. when they
again divide and form two transverse
bands on the head. terminating at the
base Of the horns, The head other
wise is white as are also the limbs.
with the exception Of the thighs which
are black. The striking appearance
presented by this antelope is in great
measure due to the absence OF any
blending in the different colors OF its
body. The gemsbok avoids woods, liv-
ing in the open plains in pairs or ia
small groups OF four or FIVE. Possess
ing powerful weapons OF attack In It's
long, spear-like horns. and with ample
courage to Use them. the gemsbok, par
ucularly when wounded. is a formida-
BILE antagonist. both to men and the
numerous beasts Of prey found in that
region. 1t makes such good use Of lts
horns as sometimes even to beat or ths
lordly lion.

The fundamental principles OF our
American system OF government was
originally supposed TO nave been based
upon the expressed Nill OF the people
The question is, is tins a fact todayP
This was the ruling idea OF Washing
ton. John Adams, Jefferson and the
hosts OF great men who conceived and
established our form Of government
Today hardly vestige OF these great
principles remain to the people. The
warnings OF jefferson, Adams and
Washington of the Entertainments o.
the money power upon the rights and
liberties OF the people have been lost
sight Of in the grind for the sccumula-
ticn OF wealth and the power TO make
more wealth In this encroachment
OF constitutional and federation rights
originally reserved to the people and
guaranteed to them by the articles OF
OF confederation and solemizsd and
sanctihed by she constitution, every
barrier is being torn down in the in
satiate and unholy effort 10 render
nugatory the voice Of the people in the
shaping Of our laws which are to de-
termine our internal and external
policies.
Even the courts in some instances
have been impregnAted with this
mania, and now instead Of interpreters
OF the laws they are slowly growing
into the idea that ii is their duty to
usurp the executive and legislative
functions, and should this tendency
ripen into fruition, another one OF the
great bulwarks erected by our fore
fathers for the protection Of the 'iber-
ties OF American citizenship will be
snapped in twain This is dangerous
condition aud is fraught with im-
measurable consequences. From the
foundation OF the government the peo-
pie have held in veneration the courts
aud bowed with respect TO their deci.
sions, and II will be lsmentsble hour
10 the history OF this country when
this veneration and respect ceases 10
exist.
Lying deep down behind this threat
ened danger is the Republican idea OF
centralized and strong government
in which all power is centered, and
that municipal and state governments
are mere machines without the power
TO make and interpret their own laws,
Notably Is this idea being exemplided
ia Kansas, West Virgi mia and Penn
sylvauia today.
