BRITISH PREPARATIONS.
Come idea of the Xntnensity of the
Work Under Way.

Some idea of the Kmlneusity of the
Work Under Way.
LONDON, Oct. e.-The scope Of Great
Britain's military preparations can
scarcely be grasped by the mere read
ing of individual items as these appear
from day to day. A fair notion of their
immensely can be gained from the semi
official statement that for the transport
of the army corps about 10 ships of
from 1000 to 1900 tons burden are re-
CURED, not including score or more
of transports already on the way to the
Cape If these vessels effectively dis
embark their cargoes of men, horses
and equipment within five weeks from
their date of sailing, the programme
will have fulfilled the forecasts of the
most optimistic British military experts.
Although the impending army corps
is matter of preaeminent military in
terest, the troops already on the scene
of the probable action constitute no in
significant body. The original Cape
garrison was 1000 men, and this has
been increased by $500. There are 49,
600 men at sea on the way to the Cape,
and their arrival will make the APP
proximate total of
J. Brisish Troops IN sontn Arrfoa,
prior to the arrival Of the army corps,
%, 500. These troops do not include the
irregular forces, the Cape Mounted
Rifles, the Port Elizabeth and Grahams-
town volunteers, the Natal police, the
Durham light infantry. the Australian
force and the regular naval brigade.
Tie Cape squadron now includes 10
warships, all heavily manned, and the

Against this array are opposed the
Transvaal and its ally, the Orange Free
State, with perhaps sprinkling of ma
tiyes. This is about all that can be
said regarding the Boer forces. They
are virtually non-regulars and attempts
to estimate their fighting strength are
hopeless. although various calculations
appear daily in the English newspapers,
ranging from 10000 to 1875, 600, the lat

FERTa-IzfNG WHEAT.


Complete Fertilizer Versus Acid
Phosphate and Glover.
The marked effect on the growth Of
the wheat plant which is usually OBJ
served after the application Of fertiliz-
ers carrying soluble phosphoric acid,
such as acid Phosphate or dissolved
comeback, together with the low price
at which plain acid phosphates can be
bought, as compared with fertilizers
containing nitrogen and potash, have
led many farmers to the use of this
material alone, believing that they can
supply sufficient nitrogen by growing
clover and that potash is not needed.
On these points the field tests Of the
Ohio experiment station are beginning
to offer useful suggestions.
Since 1893 the station has conducted
two series of experiments on the light,
somewhat sandy clay soil of It's central
farm at Wooster In these experiments
fertilizers Of various composition have
been used 90 crops grown in rotation,
the rotation consisting in the one series

1896 both these tests have been dupli-
Gated on the heavy, white clay Of the
northeastern substation in Cuyahoga
county. In every case Reconsideration
Of tankage for part OF the acid phos-
phate has produced large gain In the
increase of the wheat crop, the average
being gain per acre of 3.78 bushels
for the complete fertilizer over the
acid phosphate alone.
At SIS per ton for acid phosphate,
$40 for tankage and 21a cents per
pound for muriate of potash, these be-
ing the prices actually paid for the fer
filters used In these experiments, In
Guiding freight. we have reaped in the
average 3.78 bushels increase Of crop
for 65 cents additional cost This, how
ever, is only part Of the gain, as the
corn and oats crops, preceding the
wheat, aretshoWing a large gain In ia
vor of the complete fertilizer, as do
also the hay crops following
1t appears. therefore, that the clover
is not furnishing sufficient nitrogen to
meet, the demands Of a full crop and
that It is more economical to use a fer
tiiizer containing small percentage
Of nitrogen (ammonia), even though the
cost be somewhat increased, than to
use one which carries only phosphoric
acid.

THE GAME OF LAW.

IA defendant in an action the other day
asked for an adjournment on the ground
that he had no counsel to 'twiddle the
facts"
If you want to learn litigation
And play the game of law.
You must first get clear of the vague Idea
That you've merely got to jaw.
1t isn't enough for silk and stuff
TO tell an unvarnished tale.
You must play with the court in the way
one ought,
Or your suit is doomed to fail.
You must tell a man that he lies, you
know,
In a delicate sort of way.
To call black white is not polite,
But it may be a neutral gray.
There's a virtue in knots n tangled plots
When the truth appears too thin,
And the man who can twiddle and riddle
Is the mar who's bound to win.
You must quote a case with an easy grace
And make the ruling plain.
Then hasten to smother that case with
another
Till the court is lark again;
You must put an end to your legal friend,
Whatever he tries to do;
Deny him flat-'I object to that!
See order A, rule twoi'
If he tries to stump your witnesses
Or quotes an awkward fact,
Don't stay for correction. but quote a sub
section
OF the judicature act,
For law is a sport of a tricky sort
For the hand that's always in,
And the man who can twiddle and riddle
Is pretty safe to win. Judy.
