note urged in forcble terms the desirabity in the
interest Of both countries of speedy conclusion of
the present agitation.
The presentation of this note led M. Dupuy the
French Prime Minister, to bring pressure to bear
upon the Court of Cessation which, however, by a
majority of three decided to continue the proceedings
in its own way and hold supplemental inquiry,
which is virtually ended.
Mr. Vizetelly learns that eighteen of the Judges of
the Court of Cessation in favor of revision of the
Dreyfus case and that fifteen of the Judges are op-
posed to that course 1t is probable, Mr.. Vizetely
adds, that full vote of the Judges of the United

Filipinos Not Pleased.

A special from Singapore says: The
latest news received from the local
Filipino jnuta from Manila describes
the proclamation of the United States
Philippine commissioners as "vague
and unsatisfactory" The Filipinos
are represented as repudiating it "be'
cause their experience is that Ameri-
can actions belle American promises,
and because the proclamation con-
tains no tangible guarantees of self
government or that the islands will
not be exploited by the syndicates,
adventurers and et-baggers."
The proclamation of Major General
Otis, according to this iunta dispatch,
is considered equally injudiciuos, -
and it is asserted that mo faith can be
reposed in General Otis or Colonel

Sandy Soils and How to Improve Them

Sandy Soils and How to Improve Them.
AS a general rule very sandy soils,
that is soils containing above seventy
five per cen- of sand, are unfit for
cultivation IL. any standard crop ex-
cept early garden vegetables, berries
and stone fruits. Sandy loans con-
tanning from sixty per cent. to seventy
five per cent. sand will grow rye, all
legumines, most vegetables, grapes
and many varieties of apples and
oriental pears. Soils containing less
than sixty per cent. sand, if not too
dry and having at least wo-tenths OF
one per cent. lime make good cereals,
especially corn and oats.
Soils containing as high as ninety
per cent. pure sand may yield more
profitable returns than heavier and
better soils, provided they are prop
erly cultivated Such soils are suit
able only for early spring vegetables.
which command price out OF all
proportion to their nutritive value,
merely because they are very early.
But unless such soils are intelligently
managed, they are more likely to en-
tail loss than profit. All very light
soils require previous amelioratlon
before being planted for market crops.
The first requirement is the storage
in the soil of large supply OF vege-
table matter. This is best effected ny
turning under green crop. Blue or
yellow lupines or rye are the best
crops to use for this purpose. Lime
should be added next, the more the
better, up to ten tons per acre. The
addition of vegetable matter and lime
will change the color of the soil from
light yellow to chocolate or even black;
The physical texture will be changed
and improved in the same ratio. Inc
soil has become less porous and more
retentiye. 1t is now in condition to
receive large doses of fertilizer and
produce something to sell. II rye has
been turned under, it should be fol-
lowed by leguminous crop, such as
peas, beans, sand vetch, crimson
clover, or COW pea. This crop snoulo
receive generous application OF pot
ash. preferably in the form OF kainit
or muriate, and phosphate in the form
of superphosphate. Finally after the
early market crop is off, the land
should be planted in some summer
legumine, preferably COW pea or soy
pea or beggar tick (desmodium mollee
This should be turned under IN late
fall or very early in spring, so that
the soil will have time to compact be-
fore the market crop is set. Snch
light soil should receive only shallow
cultivation.
The best fertilizer to use upon such
soil depends largely upon the crop
grown. But phosphoric acid and pot
ssh should be literally used to endure
luxuriant growth of legumines to Dc
turned under. This will at the same
time supply the requirements OF the
commercial crop, and in addition f1r-
nish nearly all the nitrogen needed T 1y
such crops. But it will be prohtaple
to use nitrate of soda in small doses
to force the early growth. A goou
formula for the legumine fertilizer IS
as follows per double ton; hainl., nno
140o pounds; acid phosphate, Wv
mounds; dose, 1000 to 1000 pouna1s
Der acre. May substitute 3oo poandass pas
