NEW GERMAN AMBASSADOR.


German ambassador, DR.. Won Hollen-
hen, will arrive here the latter part
of next month, and will be received by
the president soon after the latter's
return for the winter. Recent letters
to the state department from the Unit
ed States embassy at Berlin speak of
the highest terms of the new ambassa-
dor. One of them states that Emperor
William referred to the appointment
while speaking to Mr.. Jackson, secre-
tary of the United States embassy, and
said he had been moved to make the
selection owing to DR.. Won Hollenhen's
knowledge of the English language.
The authorities here have received no
overtures thus far from Germany on
the subject of a reciprocity treaty un-
der the new tariff law, and it is be-
lieved that such steps as are taken In
that line will be through Ambassador
White at Berlin. 1t is regarded as
favorable circumstance that our am
bassador is an accomplished German
scholar, and that the emperor in turn
has selected an accomplished English
scholar to represent Germany here.

The receivership in its early stages
was a stormy affair and for many
months engrossed nearly all of the time
of Judge Showalter in hearing various
phases of the litigation. The bill for
the receivership, filed originally in the
name of John F. Olmsted, was present
ed on the night of Jan. 2S, 1895, to
Judge Grosscup at his home and j. b.
Greenhut, president Of the trust, and
e. F. Lawrence and J. ]. Mitchell were
named as receivers. The bill and re-
ceiyership were suppressed for two
days. When it was made public it was
attacked by the leading stockholders OF
the company, Greenhut was deposed
by Judge Grosscup and Gen. McNulta
appointed in his stead. subsequently
Messrs Lawrence and Mitchell resign
ed and Gen. McNulta was left alone
in charge. AS soon as Master in Chan
cery Patton reports on the financial eX-
hibit of the receiver, a final order IN
the celebrated litigation will be mace.

Save the Dronnings.

The droppings are a source of income
from fowls that is worth looking after
AS fowls are fed largely upon grain, with
the addition of animal food, the droppings
are rich In fertilizing material, much rich
er than the manure from other domestic
stock, because of the smaller portion of
coarse food consumed. There are, it is
true, no more nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash, the available elements of
plant food, in the droppings than in the
food supplied, for the hen, like other crea-
lures, does not manufacture these eIe-
ments out of nothing, but as the food Is
highly concentrated and contains a fair
percentage of these elements, the drop
pings are rich in plant food.
The best way of saving them Is to
gather the droppings daily and cover them
with dry earth of gypsum. to prevent the
escape of the ammonia. DO not use WOOD
ashes or lime, as they free the ammonia
and the droppings lose one of their most
valuable constituents
The droppings, where the owner of the
fowls has not the land to use them upon,
may be sold to farmers and market gar
deners, and will bring a considerable sum
but they are generally worth more than
they will bring where the owner has use
for them. For forcing a crop, giving Il
quick start and early growth droppings
are comparable with nitrate of soda and
superphosphates, not perhaps their equals,
but still very valuable. And an early
growth with many crops especially a crop
like corn in New. England. often means
success, where, without forcing, only soft
corn would have been raised and the crop
become nearly failure. But the value OF
droppings does not end with the early
start. but furnishes the food for growth
throughout the season, II properly distri-s
uted and applied as other manures are.
The droppings are an item that no poul-
try keeper should fail to properly appre-
eiatp.

AppINinR Manure.

Failures with manures, either farmyard
or chemical, are often due to a mistaken
idea as to the proper time to use them,
says the Farmers Home Journal. Some
forms of rlanures act quickly as, for exam
pie, nitrate of soda or thoroughly rotted
compost. AS general rule some time
must pass before the forces in the soil can
act on the manures and change them into
forms fit for plant food If a soil contains
an abundance of ammonia for plant food,
but not enough potash or phosphoric acid.
the ammonia will be taken up rapidly; a
rank growth of foliage may result, but be-
fore maturity the supply of ammonia is
exhausted and there is none left to finish
the work, If the supply of potash and
phosphoric acid in active shape is not pres
ent in sufficient quantities, not only will
the plant fail to mature, but in the case
of forage plants the hay or fodder will be
nearly useless as stock food. On the 9TH
err hand, if the ammonia is slow in coming
into use. the earlier stages of growth will
be starved and the more abundant supply
later on will come too late.
Potash and phosphoric acid are rarely
so freely available as ammonia, but they
are quite as necessary for a useful plant
growth. A plant cannot use these two
mineral manures in the form in which
they are applied at the time of planting.
If dry time should come Immediately aft
er the planting, these minerals In the
crude state are almost useless. The same
is true of farmyard manure.
Potash and phosphoric acid may be APP
piled several weeks before seeding time,
as they will lose little or nothing by drain
age. etc. This is not true of nitrate of
soda, or even a quickly tankage.
Both these forms of ammonia may suffer
loss from drainage by decomposition in the
soil. 1t is a good plan to apply the min
erals some time before planting. and the
ammonia at the time the soil is finally
put in shape for seeding. Even If COM
plete manures are used, they should be APP
piled some time before planting. The
chances of loss are much greater from
not having the manure in proper shape
than from any danger or losses from
teaching, etc.
Lime undoubtedly quickens the action
of all forms of manures-fertilizer chemi-
Gals are as much manures as the refuse
products of the barnyard, and should be
used freely when the work of manuring
has been delayed. But this is merely a
makeshft. The proper method for profita-
BILE farming is to be sure the manures are
proper form by making early applications
Lime is always valuable to promote ayaila
bility and to carry off deleterous sub
stances lodged in the soil. 1t Is purifier
for plants as il is for man.
The time to apply manure is at least
some weeks in advance of the seeding
time in the case of well rotted farmyard
manures, some months i'm the case of 9TH
er manures and chemicals.
For next years corn the kainit II not
already applied, should be broadcasted
without delay. The nitrate of soda for
the hill may well be used at the time Of
planting.-Cor. Farmers Home Journal.

About TranspIanting.

There is often much loss sustained in
transplanting crops by the work not be-
ing properly done. To obviate this one
must have some knowledge of the bust
ness together with careful performance
of the work. Carefully observe the state
of the crop. or plant we will say, to be
transplanted; it's kind and requirements,
also the condition of the soil in which it
stands and that to which it is to be re-
moved, the manner in which the plant re-
qures to be set and it's subsequent treat
ment. These points are requisite, and
must be understood and observed.
Hard-wooded plants such as shrubs and
trees should never be removed after new
growth has made its appearance, for if
so the newly established feeding roots are
torn asunder and destroyed, and the plant
is so enfeebled that it will require a sea-
son or two to recover its former vitality,
if it lives at all, which 1t is not likely to
do if the new growth be advanced to any
great extent. In most cases perennials
and ANIMALS in a thrifty, growing condi-
ton, are much injured by being removed
when their buds begin to develop Some
shrubs of the more hardy nature, how
ever, may, with care, be removed even
after the new growth is considerably adj
Vanced.
Plants that have long or spindle-shaped
roots, such as carrots, beets and parsnips,
and also some of the Towering plants hav-
ing similar shaped roots do not bear trans
planting as well as do plants which have
branching, fibrous roots. Some advise
cutting off about third of the roots and
tops of such plants when resetting. How
ever, with some, such as the garden plants
named, we find this unnecessary if the
plants be set when small
In TRANSFORMING plants grown in pots or
boxes, they should be allowed to become
quite dry before they are removed. Thus,
deprived of moisture, which stimulates
growth, the feeding roots become to a
great extent matured, and when the plant
is removed it does not suffer such a shock
as would follow if it were in a stimulated
or thrifty. growing condition.
The soil to which plants are to be re-
moved should be put in good condition,
and the plants carefully set as soon as pos
sible after they are taken up. The roots
should be placed al about the same depth
as before and carefully spread out, then
fine, rich SOIL unmiXed with manure or
trash of any kind, pressed firmly about
them; if the soil be very dry supply tepd
water, then draw up more of the soil over
the roots and about the plant. If the
transplanting be done in dry weather. a
covering of grass, leaves, old rags or any
thing that will exclude the sun and hot
air and preserve the moisture, will greatly
accelerate the growth and vigor of the
plant. However, for transplanting large
field crops advantage must be taken of
wet weather in which to do the work.

Remcdier for Cntuorms.

". z. Weed. Mississippi Experiment
Station: Every year cutworms do more
or less damage TO nearly all crops. espec-
tally TO tomato cabbages and corn.
Whenever sod or grassy land is left until
spring before being plowed. any crop
which may be planted on such land will
be considerably damaged by cutworms.
The reason Is that the worms are nearly
full grown In the spring yet they need one
good meal before forming into pupae, a
short time after which they come forth
as night-hying moths.
The life history Of the cutworms Is about
as follows: The moths lay their eggs in
grass throughout the summer months and
after n few days these eggs hatch into
small worms which feed upon the grass.
The worms cast Off their skin from time

These who have ever gardened inten-
sively need not be told how far even one
acre can be made to go towards the
support of an average family Give per-
sons) That is an acre made rich, if not
already rich, and kept so by periodical APP
plicatons of manure and crops of one
kind or another grown on il from the be-
ginning of the year to the end. What the
money value of an acre conducted on this
plan will be worth, of course, depends up
on its location and the crops planted.
Close to large and wealthy cities the ag-
gregate value Of the annual product may,
as it often does run up into the thous-
ands. Far from a good market in the
thinly settled sections of the country
where there is little or no opportunity to
sell or exchange any of the products in

ly, il may still run up into the hundreds.
Locality must, to a considerable extent,
regulate the apportionment of the crops
to be grown. With a market right at
ones gates there would be large profits
in those perishable crops that it would
not be found advisable to plant when one
is situated far from the railroad and hun
dreds of miles perhaps from a good mar

the many advantages of fall blowing and
where sod land especially is plowed in the
fall, it will greatly lessen the number of
cutworms and other insects on such land
the following spring. A good remedy for
killing out the cutworms in the garden is
to make up a mixture consisting of
quantity of bran or corn meal moistened
with water to which is added a little paris
green and a little molasses or sugar to
give a swedish taste. 1t is the paris
green that kills the worms and this should
be very thoroughly mixed with the bran
so as to have a uniform mixture. spoon
full of this mixture should be placed near
the plants just before night on the day the
plants are set out. The cutworms work
at night and will be killed by eating of
the poisoned mixture. It is much better,
however, to place the mixture about in
various part of a field few days before
planting, as it will then kill off the worms
before any damage is done.

To obtain the best results, good seed

shucks begin to dry. selecting the finest
