London Paper Says England Must Be
RI Tfpht

London Paper Says England Must Be
Prepared to Fight Us.
London, July 16.-British newspapers
continue to criticize Secretary Sher-
mans letter of instruction to Ambas-
sador Hay on the seal controversy, and
while most of them call it "jingoism,"
some regard it in a serious light. The
Post says edtorially:
Every indication points to the GER
tainty that Great Britain will be COM
PEELED to fight for her existence against
the United States as soon as an Amer
lean government believes that war can
be safely begun. In such situation
war cannot be averted by justice nor
by goodwill. Our statesmen must search
their consciences and make sure, in
any controversy that may be raised,
that their attitude Is just and\ fair.
They should concede SO long as there
is any reasonable doubt concerning the
justice of their position, but they must
be prepared for an appeal to force.
We can imagine no more dreadful ca
lamity Our duty Is to make sure that
it comes by no fault of ours, and that
it shall find us united and prepared.
The respite will in all probability be the
time needed for the creation of more
powerful American fleet. The time to
face the situation is not in three years
or three months, but now"
The STANDARD says editorially: "The
appearance of Secretary Sherman's dis
patch has undoubtedly damaged the
position of the state department. 1t Is
preposterous that we should be accused
of bad faith by men who have notori-
ously refused to comply with an i'm
partial award simply because it was
given against them"
The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-07-16
Acldity of Soils.

After several years work at the
Rhode Island station it has been decided
that the acidity of upland soils is prob
ably due to the removal Of crops and the
use Of certain fertilizers that exhaust
the lime and other basic ingredients Of
the soil, leaving more Of the acid than
would be the case were nature allowed
to take her course. An acid condition of
the soil therefore results. Some plants
thrive best under such condition, but
clover, timothy and beets are injured on
such soils. A dangerous degree of acid
ity appears to exist in upland and nat
urally well drained soils and is not con-
fined to muck and peat swamps and
very wet lands, as most American and
many other writers seem to assume
The remedy seems to be generous
application Of air slaked lime. The
amount applied varies from 500 to 1000
pounds per acre, to be broadcasted and
narrowed in.

or tongued, writes correspondent Of
Rural New Yorker and authority for

The reason for beveling 10 this: If

be almost impossible to make it air

the mill. Tell the sawyer what sized
silo you purpose to build, and he will
bevel them SO that they will exactly fit.
The additional expense will be less than
that Of attempting to stop up the cracks
with rags. We do not desire to stop all
shrinking and swelling When filled,
we wish the silo to swell some to aid in
making tighter joints, and then, when
empty, we want it to shrink so that
moisture cannot collect between the
slaves and rot them out Tho coating Of
coal tar on the inside, applied after the
hoops are drawn up tight, is entirely
sufficient
Hot tar is very penetrating and will
