serious trouble is likely TO occur among
the miners near Corinth, W. Va, caus-
ed by the release Of thr Italians, who

the other strikers, who. armed with
guns, went TO the house of six men,

destroyed their property. Ex-Deputy

the rioting has commenced, there is no

Miscellaneous.
Giant Knotweed or Sachaline.

This is a hardy herbaceous perennial,
six to twelve feet high, with strong. eX
tensiVely creeping rootstocks. The plant
is q native of an island off the Siberian
coast where ii grows along moist river
banks. 1t was introduced into England
about 1870 and has been quite generally
cultivated in the botanical gardens OF Eu-
rope At Il time Of great drought IN
France in 1893, it was discovered that
cattle would eat the leaves and tender
branches OF this plant and a member OF
the French Academy presented Il paper
suggesting that it might prove a BILE
addition to the list of fodder plants. This
seems to be the first intimation that sac
halino had any forage value but the idea
was at once taken up by others and The
hardness, the rapid and vigorous growth
and ether qualities of the plant were eX-
tolIed and enlarged upon by interested
parties. Within the past year or so
most extraVagant accounts of the value
of sachaline for forage nave appeared III
American papers and seed catalogues.
All who have had experience with the
plant advise caution in its introduction
because of its very strong, spreading and
persistent rootstocks. A writer in the
Rural New Yorker who has had some
experience with the plant says: IF the
land will grow anything else, do not piant
it, Plant corn for feed, not Polygonum
Sachalinense unless you want trouble,
A writer in Burpee's Farm Annual says
that the farmers in this country will be-
terribly disappointed if they expect to
realize the hopes that the glowing de-
scriptions from Europe would seem to
warrant.
This plant is described in Circular No.
5 of the division of botany of the United
States department of agriculture 1t Is
advertised in some of the 1897 seed cata-
logues. The advice of the experiment
station to intending purchasers is, don't.

Inferior Wood Ashes.

In Bulletin 4S of the New Hampshire
College Agricultural Experiment Station
'rof Fred W. Morse writes: The time
or purchasing fertilizers having come
he station wishes to call the attention OF
'armers to the variable composition OF
good ashes ard particularly to some evil
lently fraudulent lots of Canada ashes,
iampies Of which were received al the

Five samples. repres enting three differ
ant lots, were received during october
Se6. from widely different sections of the
;tate. namely Plymouth. Stratham and
Valpole The ashes We're all bought Of
he same wholesale dealer, and analysis
lhowed them to be quite uniform IN
iuality. but noticeably inferior. The
proportion of moisture Is very high,
tm0fnting to $50 pounds Of water In one
on of ashes as purchased.
The proportion Of potash is low. cs-

pecially If the soluble form Is alone con-
sidered which fact taken with the GUAM
tlty of water leads one TO suspect tiiat
these ashes had been either leached par
tally or prepared by mixing leached anu
dry ashes together. The proportion of
lime found In the most inferior sample
disposes OF any suspicion of adultera ton
with lime rs the percentage l. not high.
The price OF these ashes was SO per ton
delivered in carload lots at the respective
railroad stations. This price Is lower
than any quotations previously known TO
tho station. The important point for tho
purchaser. however, is that the low price
was accompanied by an apparently de-
lherate reduction in the quality Of ashes.
During the year preceding the receipt Of
the five samples above described. the
Canada ashes sent to the station for
analysis were of good quality. one sam
pie is of interest because. though very
moist. 1t yet contains a high percentage
of potash. The ashes had most probab big
been exposed to rain. instead Of having
been leaehed and afterward partially
dried.
Three samples of domestic ashes are
characterized by being very dry, and one
was probably taken soon after the ashes
were removed from the stove. Average
Canada ashes contain about II per cent. of
moisture, which renders them as damp
as the average chemical fertilizer Buy
ers OF ashes should therefore look with
suspicion on lots that appear excessively
moist. because IN such cases the potash
is seldom equal to the proportion in aver
age ashes.
The refuse ashes were samples from
burned rubbish. principally waste paper
ana refuse lumber. The analy teal re-
suits speak for themselves. Ashes from
paper are as valueiess as those from coal
because the soluble mineral matter has
been leached out Of the paper stock dur
irg the process Of paper making.
