the excellent work done for the moral
and educational improvement Of the

she, was the uniform cleanliness of
the streets OF San Juan, the most i'm
portant city on the island. They are
as clean as any front yard in the
city OF Scranton. The people are most

the intelligent class of teachers sent
there" she said. They are bright,
willing and will do more to bring
about the needed improvements than
anything else. The scholars are also
intelligent and as bright looking as
have seen in any school in America"
In connection with this she also
mentioned the fact that a young man
from Dunmore, who had formerly been
in the army, hearing that the party
WAS from Scranton, came aboards the
vessel and introduced himself. And
then she related the following little
romance connected with his army eX-
perience. After being mustered out
from the army he engaged in business
in Porto Rico. but unfortunately, or
rather as it happens, fortunately, he
was stricken with fever. But the
youngest daughter OF the family with
which he was staying nursed him to
life again, and from here on 1t is the
same old story. The marriage will
take place in the near future. The
gentleman was formerly of Dunmore.

EarIy Flowing.

Begin blowing for spring as soon as
it can be done, advises the Philadelphia
Record 1t matters not how wet the
land is If it can be plowed. as the frost
will pulverize all Jumps. An advan-
tage in early blowing is that insects
will be tarned to the surface and be
destroyed. Cold does not destroy some
insects. but when they are brought to
the surface and are exposed to damp
ness and alternate thawing and freez-
ing they succumb. 1t will be found
that soils in which cutworms are nu-
merous may be plowed early with ben
eft. as the worms will be greatly re-
duced in number by so doing and the
crops be protected TO that extent, for
frequently the cutworms compel re-
planting of an entire crop.

A Dry summer.

This past season has shownsto many
farmers who scarcely need to have
waited until now to learn the lesson
the Importance Of making preparation
each year for season when the grass
In the pasture will be short, cows
shrink in their milk, calves and young
stock grow smaller, and in both ways
loss Will be occasioned that cannot be
made up by good feeding afterward.
When the price of milk and butter was
the highest, they had the least to sell.
Those who had ensilage in the silo or
green fodder to cut and feed out were
fattening their pocketbooks, while the
man whose forethought did not come
until afterward was growing poorer.
1t is as necessary for the farmer to
prepare for dry. hot summer as for
cold winter, for both are sure to
come every year, even though they
sometimes are a little delayed beyond
the schedule time.-American Guilt
vator.

For THE FARMER.

Nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
are the three ingredients for which the
farmers have to pay In fertilizers, says
Bryan Tyson in The New England
composed Of lime, magnesia, soda, ETC.,
but these are usually present in the
soil in sufficient quantities. Complete
fertilizers are made by mixing ma
terlals which contain phosphoric acid,
nitrogen and potash in various pro-
portions to make fertilizers of different
composition.
The chief sources of nitrogen are:
Nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia,
tankage, dried blood, fish scrap and
cottonseed meal. Nitrate of soda is
should be applied as top dressing at
time when needed by the plant; other
wise it is apt TO leach out of the soil
and be lost. The other forms of nitro
gen are not so soluble and are slower
in their actions.
The principal sources Of phosphoric
acid are ground bone, dissolved bone,
dissolved bone black and acid phos-
plate. These materials give best re-
suits when applied and worked into the
soil some weeks before planting.
The main sources of potash are: Mu-
rate of potash, sulphate of potash, sui
plate of potash-magnesia. kainit, wood
ashes and tobacco stems. Potash salts
give best results when applied in con-
nection with phosphatcs some weeks
before planting. Sulphate of potash
should always be used upon tobacco,
and forms which contain chlorine
should be avoided.
Wood ashes are uncertain in compo-
sition and high in price. The use of
ashes, which also contain high per-
centage of lime, is apt to produce scab
on potatoes.
Stable manure containstall plant food
ingredients, though they are not all
we'll balanced 1t is rich in nitrogen,
but rather deficient in phosphoric acid
and potash. III too much nitrogen is
applied, it produces a rank growth Of
foliage at the expense of fruit or grain.
Hence stable manure should be sup
plemented with phosphoric acid and
potash in order TO get best results.
