Asa rule the farmer who hes no well
defined idea Of the nature of the three
principal ingredients Of commercial
fertilizers aud the effect OF each upon
plant growth, should not attempt
home mixing. His ignorance will
prove costly enough il he sticks ID FAC
tory-mixed brands, but is likely to Is
more expensive if home mixing is at
tempted. A we'll written volume from
an authority on tertiIizing and a few
hours devoted to it's study, however,
will prepare anyone to mix his own
fertilizers. Ooe dollar invested in the
purchase of FERTILIZERS a practical
book by one OF Americas highest au.
thorities, Edward B voorhees,, or some
other work, equally good il such can be
found, will richly repay the average
farmer, and this whether he decides
upon home mixing or not. a knowl
edge Of the nature of the different fer
tilizing constituents will Ee worth
many dollars to you, even in tbs pur
c1ase Of factory mixed brands.

Nv advice with reference to old hay,
leaves, etc would be to haul the 9 in
gradients out on the land. The barn
yard manure, fertilizer, or any thing Of
that kind that you wieh to add, can be
drilled in the row in the usual way,
but I would put this humus or organic
matter on broadcast, To add leaves,
woods earth and manure together in a
compost heap adds moi hing to it's fer
tility; on the other hand, some may be
lost. Then again it ia very expensive
to handle 50 much bulky STUFF.
I should certainly not put any lime
with the manure or with anything
else line should oe applied to the soil
alone, az it has a tendency to libe rate
tertilizing clements in the manure or
the compost heap. When put in the
soil iE does practically no damage. as
ali the liberated material is caught up
bY the soil again before it can escape.
TIE old compost heap idea is a good
One to encourage people to add humus
to the soil, but there was nothing
gained by hauling the leaves and dirt
from the woods and adding it to the
manure and mixing with fertilizer and
then hauling to the soil. In fact, there
was often loss. This is the reason why
I advise against composts. Haul your
bulky materials out and broadcast,
and drill your concentrated fertilizers
and I believe you will follow the most
economical method. B. /.

to manage in order to get best results,
whether to use acid, lima or anything
to eat up" the trash. Some say that

session OF the annual conference. An
other matter Of interest to be considered,
atd which makes this session one Of m
terest, il the recently enacted law reGn-
Ia,ing tie election Of trustees OF the
yafi6us churches. This law IS supposed
to have been suggested and pushed
through the last State Legislature on
the advice OF one OF the presld'
ing elders Of the conference.
It is charged, that aside from
the control Of the church prop
erty, the intent OF the law was to enaOlc
ambitious preachers to secure desirable
appointments upon calls OF trustees Sc
| lected for that purpose, and upon the
recommendations OF presiding elders
| favorable to that scheme of church poll-
tics. This matter is certain to come be-
fore the Conference and precipitate live
ly discussion. The complications re-
sulting from the legal enforcement OF a
provision of the church discipline that
| had fallen into disuse-the opposition
of the laymen OF this CITY and the pro.
iected movements to secure the repeal ol
| the law, or it's practical annullment
by resolutions from this conference, and
also by recommendation from the Board
of Bishops at the general conference
give anticipations OF this session, partic-
ularly interesting characteristics. lay
men and preachers are already hard at
work in preparation for some hard and
exciting work.
In these preliminary characteristic;
this session oi the conference resembles
that of 1892, when the session was helo
in Grace Church, and at which the Rev
j. A. B. Wilson was deposed from the
leadership of the conferences and dcteatee
in his ambition to go as delegate to tnt
general conference; results which caused
his removal from the local conference
Bishop Andrews, who is to preside at thu
session, presided at the conference o
1892. That session is remembered D.
newspaper men as one at which the IN
teresting news was hard to get, and J!
the getting of which some amusing lncl
dents occurred.
The trial of Rev. DR.. Wilson began i
Grace Church. The reporters of the cit
papers were excluded from the confer
ence room during the trial. This {
course only increased the interest IN tha
news, making it more valuable ana pu'
' ting the reporters upon their metal {

Recalls the Time When the Re-

TIE annual sessions Of the Wilmington
M. Il. Conference are always events Of
interest and importance to the people OF
this city and State, representing as the
conference does the religious ana social
interests OF the State, as no similar as
sembly does or can. The sessions of the
conference held in this city are particu-
larly interesting because Of the number
OF churches here insrres large congrega-
tions at the services incident to the con-
| ference and because of the consequent re-
| vival Of interest in church and religious
matters. The social phases OF the con-
! ference sessions are also important.
| Many OF the preachers coming to confer
ence return 10 former homes, and the
society of friends and acquaintance
made during pastorates in the city.
These incidental interests have made the
coming session OF the conference the sub.
iect OF much discussion and pleasant an.
ticipatlon.
Another fact that gives special interest
to the sessions of conference held in this
CITY is that it Immediately precede5 the
general conference of the church, and
unusual interest attaches to the selection
of the clerical and lay delegates to what
is one of the very important religious
bodies OF this country. Delegates to the
