need do is to apply the latest and

also increase the wheat crop. The
analysis of the soil after an appli-
cation of this Lime shows that it
unites ammonia, phosphoric acid
and polish in the soil and attracts
nitrogen from the air, freely; but
the increased crop proves it much
more satisfactory to the farmer.

But In preference to allowing the syn

1t transferred to the state and let the
land board lease 1t to the proper per-
sons, who are the small cattlemen.
There will be over a thousand cattle

Christian Herald of New York. raised
10000 bushels Of corn In this country

task this year and has consented.
1t will be his endeavor to raise 10000
bushels Of corn. 10000 each from the
states of Illinois. Iowa, Missouri, Kan
sas and Nebraska. He will not ask
this time for the corn itself, but for
the price of the corn. The corn will
be purchased In New York and the In
dian government will pny for the ship.
Dr. Hobbs will begin work at once and
will want forty men In each OF the
states mentioned. His headquarters

London. March 13.-The war office

Roberts announcing that General
French reached Bloemfontein last
evening and occupied two hills close
to the railway station.
Paris, March 13.-6:45 a. m.-The
Gaulois publishes the following from
its London correspondent:
According TO good authority, Presi-
dent Kruger and President Steyn have
not made a formal proposition of
peace, but have asked the British gov
ernment. through the United States,
the conditions it would accept for the
opening of negotiations on the basis
of the independence of the republics.
President Kruger Is alleged to have
said that he would accept mediation,
but the United States government, In
transmitting this communication, took
care to declare that 1t did not assume
the responsibility for the Initiative in
mediation"
The London correspondent of the
Matin says:

long and important cable from the
United States government relative to

having appealed to Germany for med.
iation or intervention in the war with
Great Britain Germany has replied
that. she declines to interfere, as she is
in no way concerned in the conflict.
London, March 13.-Expect in the
case of Germany, the replies Of the
powers to the Boer appeals for inter
vention are not yet known publicly
here, but 1t is quite certain that Aus
tria-Hungary and Italy will decline to
interfere and ther is no apprehension
that anything will come of the over
lures of the two republics.
All the morning papers take the line
that the government will decline to
open negotiations with the Boer repub-
lies except upon the basis Of complete
surrender, and Will also make 1t per-
fectly clear that nothing In the shape
of foreign intervention will be toler-
ated. .sstt.
