EXPERIMENTS
Show the Fertilizers
Needed.
An Analysis of Soil Is Often
Unsatisfactory.

The only practical way Of learning
the needs of a particular soil is to
make experiments on that soil, after
the general plan of those described in
the bulletins of the Experiment Sta
tion on the maintenance of fertility,
and thus learn which combination of
fertilizing materials will produce the
greatest effect, says the regular bulle,
tin of the Ohio Experiment Station.
To illustrate: Potash is a character
istic constituent of granite rocks, and
a soil formed from such rocks may ap-
pear rich in potash under the chem
lists analysis, and yet if that potash
be still in the form of granite sand it
will be yielded up very slowly to the
feeble solvents of the plant.
Still further: When piece of
marshy land has been drained it is
often found that the crops planted
upon it fail to thrive, although it
seems to be very rich in nitrogen,
The remedy here is to add barnyard
manure, something which sayors

TIPS
Have Lost Their
Glamour
For the Pullman Car
Porters.
Have Petitioned For a
Wage Scale.
Peculiar Growth of the American
Tipping System.

We note with pleasure two indica-
lions that Americans, who were late
in acquiring the tip-giving vice, but
who made up for lost time by carrying
it to an excess paralleled by no other
people, have now repented of their sin
and are joining in general revolt
against the evil custom, says
the New York Times. So far has
the reform progressed that the palace
Car porters, hitherto the most success
full as well as the most ruthless and
persistent of the wretched army of tip
hunters, are meditating general
strike for the substitution of honest
wages in the place of aims and black
mail. Their representatives say that,
while 20 cents used to be the ordinary
wearied and dusty traveller, now the
usual donation is 10 cents-when it
isn't 10 cents or a kindly but unnegoti-
able "Thank you" AS the porters can
not live on wages alone, while the
scale of payment remains as it is, they
clamor for an advance from the em-
ploying corporations and have sudden
ly arrived at the conclusion that de-
pendence upon tips is unworthy of real
men, black or white. That is the first
evidence of reform. The second comes
from Europe and is to the effect that
American visitors, once the most gen
erous" of tip givers, have of late mani
tested highly economical disposition
in this respect, and are now declared
by cabmen, porters, and hotel servants
to be the least profitable of their
clients. Let the good work go on. OF
course the new development in Ameri.
can character will excite much rage
and scorn in the minds of all those
innumerable employers who have been
making their customers pay twice
once to the employers themselves and
once to the servants nominally in thei1
employ-for all services in the slight.
est degree personal, but the excite.
ment of these individuals will soon die
away and everything will be better all
around. No money will be saved, to
be sure by the abandonment of the
tipping system, but there will be a
vast increase of self-respect among
those who give as well as those who
take the servile fees.

Mr.. Piske remarked that the work

TWO MORE ATTEMPTS.
The ordinance was changed, emitting
the apportionment of funds, but two
votes taken on it were failures,a three

President Koons then appointed
Messrs. Seidell, Sorrick and Winum
committee to re-apportion the $4,000,
and have the ordinance prepared prop

to be held next Monday night, when it
is regarded as almost certain it will

An ordnance authoflzlng the Mayor
and City Clerk to borrow $4,000 to
replenish funds, technically speaking,
or to pay a debt of $4,000, plainly
speaking, was read before the City
Council Monday night.
Naturally remarks were in order. 1t
is not customary for the present Coun-
Gil to pass an ordinance without re-
marks, sometimes pro and sometimes
con.
The preliminary skirmish to getting
down to business was largely in the
hands of Mr.. Walker and Commits
sioner Wilson. They handled the Or
dinance subject something like this:
Mr.. Walker--"I noticed the street
gang at work on a narrow strip of
paving on Main st. My car passed it
several times and l had a good chance
for observation. 1t was only distance
Of four car-lengths, and, would you
believe it? those six men worked on
the job six days. Now, talk about
economy on the part of the Commits
sionersw
Mr.. Wilson--"If you were at the head
of all the departments, we'd have a
| fine city, wouldn't we? You're after
notorety-always trying to get your
name in the papers. You say that strip
of paving was only three car
| lengths"
Mr.. walker-"I didn't. / said it was
four
Mr. Wilson-"Again you say
Mr.. Walker-"I meant to say that
the Commissioners hang around the
City Building, drawing six dollars "A
day, and that not one of them was out
TO see that job. It's time this business
sioners will see the handwriting OH the
wall"
Mr.. Wilson-"You'll undoubtedly see
it next spring"
Thus exhaustively remarked upon
the ordinance authorizing the borrow.
ing of $4,000, was reluctantly put to
n vote upon it's first reading, which re,
suited as follows:
Ayes--Foster, Koons, Martin, Merz
Piske, Rice, Sorrick, Walker, Winum
Nays-Gauthier, Hill, Jacobs, Line
han, Seidell.
Another vote upon the second
reading, resulted somewhat differently
Ayes-Foster, Hln, Jacobs, Koons,
Martin, Merz, Piske, Rice, Sorrlck
Walker, Winum. Nays-Gauthier.
Linehan, Seidell.
Twelve votes We're required to pass
and Messrs. Sawyer and Langdor
were not present.
The principal objection to the ordi
nance was its distribution of the $50,
900 among the funds. The genera
fund was given $4,000; Police, $4,000
Fire, $4,000; Street, $14,5OO; Sanitary
$500.
When $4,000 was borrowed foul
months ago, $4,000 was applied to thu
street fund, and $4,000 to the general
Commissioner Wilson, Mr.. Sefdell an(
other objectors to the new apportion
