Value of Irrigation.

Prof. Voorhees,, of the New Jersey
Experiment Station, has decided that
there Is need for some method of ir-
rigation in the Eastern States as well as
In those wtst of the Mississippi Valley.
he estimates that the loss of hay in
New Jersey by reason of the drought
OF May and June, 1899, amounted to not
less than $1,500,O00, while that on small
fruits and vegetables was much larger.
He gives these figures from the Expert
ment Farm. In 1897 and 1898, both wet
seasons, the hay crop averaged two
tons, 1860 pounds per acre In 1899 it
was but a little over one ton. This was
loss of over $400 on twenty five acres.
Crimson clover for forage averaged for
the two wet years eight and one-half
tons per acre, and for the dry year the
yield was but five tons The oat and
pea forage gave six tons per acre in the
two first years. and but three tons 600
pounds in 1899. On small fruits the
plats that We're irrigated produce at the
following rate per acre more than those
not irrigated, blackberries LOSS quarts
worth $93.42, raspberries 500 quarts
worth 5000, currants $50 quarts worth
$500. Thus, on an acre of each there
would be a gain Of S211.52 by irrigat-

The report of the weight of stubble
and roots on a clover field after the last
crop had been taken off in the autumn,
as found on the experimental farm OF
the late John B. I.awes al Rothamstead,
England has often been published, but
y has been so long since we have seen
it that it will probably be- new 10 many
of our readers. They found in the
stubble and waste ON the surface OF
the ground 2,669 pounds per acre In
the first nine inches below the sdrface
3017 pounds. In the next nine inches
30 pounds and in third nine inches 191
pounds, or in all 6152 pounds. Accord
ing to analysis this vegetable matter
would have enough phosphoric acid for
more than two average crops, enough
nitrogen for more than four average
crops, and potash enough for move than

Almost every farmer knows chat the
closer grain IS sown or stands when
growing usually the greater the pro
portion of the straw to the grain, the
only exception being when conditions
are such that the straw IS very short
while grain is large and plump. This
may depend in part upon the season,
but in some cases is due to there being
but little nitrogen in the fertilizer to
stimulate growth Of straw and plenty Of
phosphoric acid to increase size Of
grain. This may serve as a hint for the
proper fertilizer to use. But nogg the
Maine Experiment Station has Sscer-
tanned another point by growing one,
five and eight stalks Of grain in pots Of
the same size, using oats and spring
wheat. They found that the grain
where there were five stalks In pot
containing but sou per cent as much
nitrogen and S5.4z per cent as much
nutritiye value as those where one
stalk grew alone. while where eight
plants are in the pot there was only

MINISTER WI

Deeply Interested In the Taking Of
Tien Tsin-Exhorts All to bo Calm
and Await Developments-Does Not
Want War.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE news
OF the fall of Tien Tsn was conveyed
to the Chinese minister early to-day. He
was deeply Interested but evinced little
surprise at this outcome as he had look
ed upon the result as Inevitable. He
was surprised that any effective resist.
ance had been made on the first day Of
the fighting.
Mr.. WI Is remaining in practical Sc
clusion. He Is anxious to getaway and
take most needed rest. but he feels
that he cannot do SO while crisis Is
on. When seen to-day he was induced
to answer the following direct quea-
tlon: &s,y 81.
BASED on your knowledge Of the sit.
uation 'and familiarity with Chinese
character and. affairs. how would you
advise that the present situation be
metz"
The minister pondered for o time and
then said:
fF Must Keep Calm.
"The first essential in dealing with the
present situation is to maintain calm In
the midst OF the present feverlsh ex-
element and to avoid hnsty conclusions
based upon n multitude OF conflicting
reports. To be sure It appears that
fighting has occurred at Tien Tsin. But
many OF the most Vital features OF this
affair are lacking. There Is nothing to
show the steps taken by the vlccruy or
the Taotai to maintain order and pre-
vent bloodshed. It Is clear that Tten
Tsln is cut OF from Pekin SO that at
most this can be but local demonstra-
ton and not one attributable to the
government OF China. n
"The question Is how 10 meet the act.
ual occurrences In China. The first
suggestion is to send great bodies Of
troops anu on that my position makea
1t impossible for me to express an opiu-
Ion. But this much at least seems plain
to me-that with any armed force. there
should go also civil officer or officers,
men OF very highest ability and lntelI.
gence.
Policies Could be Made Plain.
That would afford an opportunity 60
learn whether there was any need Of
fighting, The purposes and the policy
OF each side could be made plain, and
there would be an Intelligent under.
standing of each other before a recourse
TO b!oodshcd."
The minister also emphasized the ruet
that China did not want war and he
pointed out that this attitude was made
plain. by the edict OF June 90. in which
great stress was laid on Chlna's unwill.
insness to be brought into n contest
with the powers, and her realization
that such u result would be disastrous.
The minister regards this as the only
tangible evidence OF china's policy and
proof positive that China Is against
war ut this time.
