Wright's original Nashville Students,

1.-The Air Ship" which has started on
its second tour of the country. is scbed-
uled for stop Monday night at the
Grand. "The Air Ship" is a genuine
novelty in way of farce comedy, and two
scenes of the play represent the Klon-

fort in Summer. The management an
nOunces that the play is interpreted by a
large cast of capable people.
A fOurth-rate troupe styled "Russells
Comedians" gave an exceedingly poor
performance Friday night at the Grand.
The minstrel first part was decidedly
weak, the singing and music being bad,
ard the jokes very ancient. The
Chinese laundry act by two acrobats
was the only redeeming feature of the
! program.
Mr.. Creston Clarke, an exceptionally
clever young actor, has been booked to
appear at the Grand on Wednesday
night, November Goth, in his new play,

presenting this week at Macauley's
Theatre in Louisville Mr.. Clarke still

A queer law suit has been filed up in
Wisconsin. A father and son owned a
COW, the father claiming the rear half
and the son the front half The other
day while the father was milking hie
half of the COW, the sons half of the

Illness of Congressman Dingiey.

The serious illness of Congressman
Dingley at Washington, has caused his
friends not only in Maine, but all over
the United States, much anxiety. He
had an attack of the grip and pneu-
monia, followed. The good news APP
peared in the Wednesday morning
papers that his condition continued
favorable, although he was by no means
out of danger. One Of the bad symp.
toms is a dry, hacking cough. How
ever, he slept great deal, Tuesday, the
nervousness of the day before having to
large extent disappeared. He retain
ed consciousness during the day.
By this, Thursday, morning papers we
learn that Wednesday night the physi-
clans attending Representative Dingley
announce that he is resting comfortably
but they are not yet able to say whether
there is sufficient vitality left in the pa
tient to successfully resist the inroads of
disease. After sinking spell Wednes-
day morning he rallied somewhat at
night, appearing stronger.
His death would be serious loss to
the country. He is one of the really
able and wise men in congress, and has
the confidence of people all over the
country as perhaps no other man has.

The Somerset reporter., 1899-01-05

This week starts on another year.
The old year is thing of the past. No
other year for two generations has
made history so fast as 1898. For the
first time for nearly a century this
country was forced to take up arms
against foreign foe in behalf of human
ity. War came. 1t was short and de-
cisive. 1t demonstrated that American
patriotism was greatly in evidence when
the country called. No sectional inter
ests or party lines were noticeable, Tut
great people under common flag whose
folds were broad enough to cover the
north and the south, the east and the
west, responded with a unison that
characterizes the citizen soldier of
America. And now it is over and on
the first day of the new year the Spanish
flag ceased to wave over the fair island
of Cuba and the stare and stripes were
raised. Spanish rule is ended in this
hemisphere. 1t cost something to raise
the old flag in the pearl of the Antilles.
Many precious lives were sacrificed and
let it be remembered that the soldier
boys who left their American homes to
fight on Cuban soil for Cuban freedom
will never be forgotten by this nation.
No, their memory will live in the hearts
OF grateful people and their deeds of
valor are emblazoned on the pages of
American history, never to be effaced
so long as patriotism shall have an
abiding place among the nations of the
earth

than four acres that sold for SCI 90,

the crop as rental. They also pay for
the fertilizer, if needed, but the crop

Prosperity in Sugar,

Commenting on the proposed estab-
lishment of a central syrup factory in
jacksonville, Mr.. D. r. Pilsbry writes
to the Farmer and Fruit Grower as
follows:
The address of Mr. Purse OH We'd
nesday last Oh sugar cane and sugar
manufacturing is precisely along the
line to which Jacksonville must look
for her future prosperity Just now
and for some years to come, naval
stores and lumber are contributing to
generous prosperity, but as all we'll
know, there is a limit; these things
cannot be exported beyond that, and
now is the time to consider what is to
be done to maintain and increase our
business when the inevitable falling
off in these lines occurs.
With the present impetus we have
and deep water in our harbor, which
is q matter of but a short time now,
the business of this city cannot fail to
grow as never before. This is good
as far as it goes, but it is not enough.
Trade and commerce are great factors,
and great cities have been built, and
maintained by them, but there is
limit here again, unless means can be
found to improve agricultural condt-
tons Florida and Southern Georgia
are undeveloped regions, and need two
things-first, adapted and profitable
crops for the farmer; and, second,
manufactures to furnish a market at
home Both are feasible, and in time
will come and if we want to see
Jacksonville a hive of industry and our
vast homeless wastes dotted with
comfortable and happy homes in our
own day we must do certain things.

climatic condition deserves a more
full study by practical farmers than
has been given in the past. So long
as soil is frequently cultivated, there
is little loss from drainage-eXcept OH
bare hill sides subject to severe wash
ings. However, the soil cannot con-
stantly be under the plow and cult
vatOr. While nitrogen is the ingredi-
ent most liable to quickly take soluble
forms, curiously enough the loss Of
this ingredient is less damaging than
the loss Of potash and phosphates.
Through the action Of legumes, fer
tilizer nitrogen is continually being re-
stored to the soil. Cowpeas, for ex
ample, store up enormous quantities Of
fertilizer nitrogen, wholly from the
air To do this the crop also takes up
equivalent proportions of potash and
phosphoric acid; about / ID. of the
former and u 10. Of the latter to every
pound of nitrogen thus stored up in
vegetable growth.
AS the cowpea crop is harvested
this fertilizer is removed from the
soil, and a very small proportion Of it
finds it's way back. Even if the crop
is used as a green manure the loss is
very great. 1t is estimated that one
half Of the nitrogen Of green manuring
is lost, and in large measure the pot
ash and phosphates associated with
this dissipated nitrogen, is also lost, as
the vegetable matter decays in the
soil, the plant food takes soluble
forms, and is subject to loss by drain
age This process keeps up continual
ly. Each year a considerable portion
of the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash is lost. each year a much great
er portion Of nitrogen is regained
through the action of legumes; but
there are no legumes which enrich a
soil in potash and phosphates. The
loss Of these ingredients is absolute.
This suggests an agricultural princi
pie. In the South where the open
season is long, the loss of soil drainage
is greater than in the North where
the closed season is long. In the
South the supply Of feterilizer nitrogen
is kept up largely by the free growth
of legumes which have longer grow
ing season. On the other hand, the
loss of potash and phosphates is great
er Theoretically, in warm climate
the chief ingredients Of fertility to be
supplied the soil are potash and phos-
phates-and this is found true in gen.
eral practice. From what has been
written above, the observing farmer
will readily note the close relation be-
tween "climate and fertility" and
regulate his plant feeding methods &C.
