FERTILIZER TALK.

FERTILIZER TALK.
Mixing Chemicals at Home-Compost For
Ordinary Crops.
By mixing the chemicals at home
farmer is supposed to save much of the
cost of handling and selling which the
manufacturers claim. This point The
Rural New Yorker considers as follows:
In theory the work can be done at
odd hours-on rainy days or at times
when nothing else is pressing. The
manufacturers are usually able to make
q more perfect mixture, since they have
powerful and complete machinery for
doing it, and can mix large lot ahead
SO that it may work over or "blend" in
the pile, and then be reground and
mixed. Farmers who use large lots OF
fertilizer are able to make special ar
rangements, and thus prepare good
mixture. A New Jersey farmer thus de-
scribes his method:
II put the different chemicals on the
floor, shovel them over twice, and then
put them through my mixer, which is
made of an old thrashing machine. l
used an old understood machine, put
hopper ON top and made short shaker
with four mesh wire sieve in the bot
tom. run this machine by horsepower,
using one horse. With two men and
myself can mix and bag ten tons of
fertilizer in day. am very careful in
weighing the different materials and
use care to have them evenly distributed
over the heap, consequently have had
very good success, rs the actual analysis
has never varied more than one-fourth
of per cent from the calculated analysis.
/ have been doing my own mixing for
the past six years, have had good sue
cess in the field and would not buy
mixed goods unless could get them for
about the same price as my fertilizer
now costs me.
In answer to query as to the value
of a compost of leaf mold, COW, horse
and pig manure, and the best way to
use it, the journal mentioned advises:
All organic manures are one sided
that is. they contain too much nitrogen
in proportion to the potash and phos-
phoric acid. Like meat in human food,
they need to be balanced" with other
substances. Cottonseed meal and clover
hay come the nearest to being complete
manures, but even these are one sided.
It would be impossible to give more
than guess at the value Of your COM
post. Do not use lime with it. You may
be sure that the compost is deficient in
phosphoric acid and potash. With ev-
cry load Of the compost we would mix
rs pounds of muriate of potash and $50
pounds of dissolved phosphate rock.
Mix them thoroughly, working the COM
post over several times, if possib BILE. This
will make mixture suitable for almost
any ordinary crop. 1t is the best way to
handle such compost.

New York, Nov 9O-Hannis Taylor,
late American minister to Spain, pub
fishes in the December number of the
North American Review a scathing
criticism of the work of the American
peace commission. Mr.. Taylor con-
tends that in the negotiations with
Spain respecting Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, the members of the
commission should have been guided
by the precedent established by this
country in its dealings with Mexico af-
ter the victorious issue of Mexican war.
Then, he says, we refused, as Mexico
lay helpless at our feet, to take from
her a single square mile of territory

SPANISH INSTRUCTIONS.
Protocol of 1877 VIII Not Be Rati-
fed.


Madrid, Nov. 3G.-The cabinets in
structions to Senior Montero Rios,
which were drawn up last evening,
were to request the immediate release
of the Spanish prisoners in the Philip
pine islands, to negotiate navigation
and tariff advantages in the Philippine
islands in favor of Spain, to obtain a
ratification of several treaties of COM
merce with former Spanish possessions,
and an arrangement of the debt of the
Philippines, and, if possible. of the Gu
ban debt. The government also agreed
to refuse ratification of the protocol
of 1917.
Washington, Nov. 3O.-The protocol of
1877, which the Spanish government
has notified her commissioners not to
revive, is the celebrated Cushing pro-
tocol, framed with special reference to
the outbreaks in Cuba against Spain.
Its first clause, which is fairly de-
scriptive of the whole protocol, provid-
ed that no citizen of the United States,
residing in Spain or her island posses
sions, charged with conspiracy against
the government, or any other crime,
shall be subject to trial by any exceD-
tional tribunal, unless captured with
arms in hand. but, instead, shall he
tried exclusiely by the ordinary legal
| jurisdiction.

struction of Cervera'S squadron. The
report begins with dispatch dated the
Flagship New York, July Is, and winds
up with one from the same flagship,
dated Guantanamo, Aug. 4.
In the first report Admiral Sampson
tells of the demonstration made against
Aguadores by the Michigan troops I'M
der Duffield, the point of which was
that as soon as the ships took part in
the firing the Spaniards disappeared.
He says the bombardment of Santiago
on the End of July served no particular
end, because Skaters attack had been
postponed. He quotes dispatches from
himself to Shafter, stating it was i'm
possible to force an entrance to the
harbor until the mines had been re-
moved and that work could be accom-
plished only after the troops had taken
the forts. Shafter replied he could not
tell when he could take the batteries.
/ If they were as difficult as those
against which he was pitted it would
take some time and a great loss of life.
Says he:
L am at a loss to see why the navy
! cannot work under a destructive fire
as well as the army. My loss yester-
day was over 500 men. By all means
keep up fire until heights are demol-
iShed. [ expect, however, with time
and sufficient men, to capture the forts
along the bay"
An hour later on the same day, July
! 2, Shafter again appealed to Sampson
to Immediately force the harbor en-
trance so as to avoid future loss
among his men, already very heavy.
| He says: 'You can operate with less
loss than I can"
In reply on the same day Admiral
, Sampson pointed out that the channel
of the harbor was well strewn with
mines, which would certainly result in
the sinking of one or more of his ships
/, if he attempted to enter the harbor,
and that by sinking them the harbor
would be blocked against the entrance
of the others. He had hoped Shafter
would take the batteries from the rear,
! so he might drag for the torpedoes, but
! it was Skaters earnest desire that he
should force the entrance. He would
prepare to undertake it, thinking, how
| ever the position of both army and
navy would be made more difficult if
they failed in the attempt He promised
to use mines at Guantanamo to coun-
ter-mine those at Santiago, which
would consume considerable time.
| Says Sampson: TT is not so much
| the loss of men as the loss of ships
which have until now deferred me from
making a direct attack upon the ships
within the port"
Admiral Sampson says that after the
destruction Of Cervera's feet Shafter
renewed the request that he should
force the entrance to the harbor, and
it was arranged between them that the
outside forts should be taken by ma
rines and Cubans after the fleet had
shelled them. Then the harbor was to
be forced by the fleet. Admiral Samp-
son says he does not know why this
plan was abandoned and still believes

Arizona, Utah and New Mexico.
and thus" says Mr.. Taylor, was
established a new principle of moral
law, which stands alone, perhaps, in
the annals of nations"
Mr.. Taylor contends that now, when,
for the first time since the conquest
of Mexico, we have another vanquished
nation at our feet, we owe to Spain all
the consideration and justice that can
be due to the weak from the strong,
especially as Spain has been an old and
good friend, with whom we had never
before broken off diplomatic relations.
The agreement which has been con-
eluded by the American commission,
Mr.. Taylor characterizes as vast raw
ishment.
1--WE have refused arbitration. We
have summarily demanded the surren-
der of the entire Philippine archipelago
and as a salve to Spain we have ten
dered $20, 600, 600.
THE war has cost US directly about
$165, 100000, and as compensation for
that outlay, we have appropriated
Puerto Rico, which can hardly be val
ued at much less than double that
y
therefore, why in dealing with Cuba
and the Philippines we should have
been unwilling to recognize those rea-
sonable and natural equities which fol-
low acquired territory.
"In the case of the Philippines, we
have admitted that, so far as the debts
of these islands represent expenditures
for the improvement of. the country,
they must run with the land and con-
stitute a charge upon it. Upon what
grounds have we rejected the applica-
ton OF that elementary principle Of law
and common honesty in the case of
Cuba. The pretense that it cannot be
there applied because we do not intend
to accept sovereignty over Cuba will
not avail, for as soon as Cuba is eVac-
uated by the Spanish troops the United
States will exercise a qualified sover-
eighty over the island and bring a
military government there and rigidly
enforce all the laws for the purpose of
collecting revenues, both external and
internal, a condition which must exist
until congress orders otherwise In the
case of Cuba, as well as in that of the
Philippines. the amount of pacific ex-
penditures made by Spain for the per-
manent improvement of the island
should have been recognized as a legal
charge upon it.

ARTICLES OF TREATY
Peace Commissioners May Complete
Their Work This Week.
LONG SESSION HELD
SEVERAL ARTICLES WERE
AGREED UPON YESTERDAY.
SESSION HELD
Draft of Thirteen Articles Laid Be
fore the Commissioners - Spain
Refuses to Renew the Protocol Of
1877, Relating to Protection Of
Americans-Hold Daily Sessions.

Paris, Nov. 3O.-The United States
peace commission held a session today
for the purpose of discussing the draft
Of the treaty articles made yesterday
by Secretaries Moore and Ojeda. The
final preparation of these articles was
concluded, and the revised draft was
then turned over to the typewriters,
while the commissioners hastily
lunched, prior to the hour fixed for the
joint session. The typewriting, how
ever, was not finished at 2 o'clock-the
time set.
The Spaniards arrived first at the
conference chamber. They were sub
sequently followed by the American
commissioners, with the exception of
Judge Day and Secretary Moore, who
waited for the prepared copy of the
