A Comedy at the Hague.
(Washington POst.)

We wonder whether any thinking
mar expects a really serious result
from the peace congress at The Hague.
To us, it seems fantactically optimistic
to cherish such a hope. To us, the
whole project seems chimerical and inn
practicable. That the car of Russia
has made the proposition in good
faith, we are quite willing to believe.
That he actually thinks it will lead to
anything tangible, we more than doubt.
How many European nations can afford
to disarm? England is willing, for her
army is always small. Italy is willing,
because the expense Of her military es-
t~ablishment is simply ruinous. Aus
tria and Spain would be benefited, If
they had some other means of provid-
ing for their fayorites and dependents
and some assurance that disarmament
would not leave them a prey to the
rapacity of their neighbors. But how
about Germany and France? Both are
essentially military nations. Germany
without it's army would be like a pro-
duction of Hamlet with the prince
of Denmark left out. France without
hers would present the spectacle of a
nation composed largely of ONE
Emperor William could not occupy
himself entirely in writing plays and
composing symphonies. France with
out scandal and excitement would be
dull beyond description. Does any ra-
tional human being believe, for n
moment, that Germany and France in
tend to disarm? Indeed, is it conceiv-
BILE that any European nation could be
induced to trust it's neighbOrs to such
an extent? The mere idea is prepos-
ferrous.
The theory that appeals m st strong
ly to us in this connection is that the
car has proposed a general dlSarma-
ment, first, because he, of all sOver-
eigns, can take such a step with profit
and security, and, secondly, because it
will further some private purpose of
his own to assemble the nations and
to put them on record with reference
to a very snowy if impracticable
scheme of altruism. The Russian car
has been for years held up to odium
of the Christian world as the especial
representative Of tyranny, %autOcracy,
militarism, and arrogant brute force.
Children are taught to look upon him
as the type of violence and despotism.
Asked to point out a land where lber-
ty is unknown and over which a mon
ster bloodier and more abhorrent thar
the Minotaur rules with iron and re-
lentless hand, the average schoolboy
would say Russia" without a mo-
ment's hesitation. 1t is not difficult to
realize the cynical ardor with which
the present car has set in motion the
machinery Of this philanthropic prop
uganda, or the sardonic relish he will
derive from the sufferings Of those ma
tons which do not dare TO openly re-
pudiate the olive branch he has ironi-
cally offered them and yet would rather
face ten wars than to accept it.

HOMk-MIxED FERTILIZERS.

Acting under the advice Of the Ohio
Experiment Station, referred 20 in THB
PROGRESSIVE FARMER last week, an as
sociation of farmers bought several
carloads of fertllizing materials and
mixed for themselves lest fall. These
farmers first obtained propositions to
furnish the desired materials from q
considerable number of manufactur
ers and dealers; selecting those which
offered the best terms they concluded
their purchase, the materials being
guaranteed to carry a definite per
centage of the required fertilizing ele,
ments. The materials when received
were mixed according to formulae fur
nished by the station, and the result Of
their use, as shown in the fall growth
OF the wheat to which they were ap
piled, few samples of factory mixed
fertilizers of similar composition being
used alongside, has been such as to
lead to much larger purchases for this
seasons operations. The final cost of
their lot of fertilizer, Including cost Of
materials, freight and mixing, was less
by more than $500 than the lowest
price at which the company was offered
an equivalent of factory mixed fertili-
zers of equivalent composition and on
the same terms of payment; hence it
cannot be said that the only item saved
was the bare cost of mixing.
The fact is that the cost of mixing is
a very small item among those which
go to make up the difference between
the cost of materials and the price at
which a factory.mixed fertilizer can

Consul General WIldmRn does not
believe that the high grades of Sumatra
tobacco, which sell for SO and upwards
per pound, can be raised In the Philip
pines without the use of Chinese labor,
which at present is not admitted into
the islands. Expert opinion is that the
island of Luzon furnishes conditions
favorable TO the production of this
high priced TOBACCO, but great care is
necessary to It's curing which is not
possible with native labor. Broadly
speaking, Mr.. WIldman thinks that
there is not an industry in the islands
that will not be ruined if Chinese labor
ls not permitted, as he considers the
native labor worthless.

secured $500 worth of bulbs and has
sent them to Southern points, where it
is believed they can be grown. Also,
he has just sent an agent to Bermuda

This agent, who is practical farmer,
will spend probably three weeks thor

Some OF the melon seeds sent out by
the Department of Agriculture last
year, which we're secured from Siberia
have developed quite remarkable
fruits. A number of winter" musk
melons have resulted. They resemble
watermelons in color and appear 4nce
and they DO not develop on the vines,
but must be picked and laid away like
pears, to ripen up during the winter.
One grower In Utah reports to the De
partment muskmelons Of this sort
weighing II lbs. which on January 10th
had just rlpened fit for eating. These
plants do not thrive in the Eastern

cation. Further tests of these winter
varieties will be made during the COM

A year ago the OHIO Experiment
Station began a comparative test be-
tween cow manure, taken directly
from the stable to the field in the
spring, and manure of the same sort
which had been allowed to lie in tae
open yard during the winter. The
plan Of the experiment is to apply both
kinds of manure TO land intended for
corn, plow under at shallow depth,
and follow the corn with wheat and
clover, without any further manuying.
Four duplicate plats are treated with
each kind of mat ure, applied at the
rate of eight tons per acre, the treat.
ment for each pair Of plots being ex-
actlY alike in ell other respects. The
result thus far Is that the corn of 1897
gave an increase of thirteen bushels
per acre from the y ard manure against
sixteen bushels from the stall manure,
and the wheat crop following has given
an increase of ten bushels per acre for
the yard manure against eleven BUSH
els from the stall manure. Valuing
the corn at 33 cents and the wheat at
80 cents per bushel and the straw and
stover at 50 per ton, the increase from
the yard manure in the two crops has
amounted to $15 per acre and that from
the stall manure to $17, an average of
81 per ton for the manure, with further
effect proba ole on succeeding crop.
