Lime and Wood Ashes.

There is an impression among many
farmers that wood ashes and lime may
be used as substitutes for commercial
fertilizers. They do not seem to dis
tinguish the difference between them,
says the Epitomist While both lime
and wood ashes may be proftably
used in many cases, they do not fur
nish all the elements of fertility, and
often they lack in the elements most
needed. Wood ashes contain from to
8 per cent of potash, according to the
kind of wood from which they are
made, and they contain about per
cent. of phosphoric acid. The phos-
phoric acid is in an insoluble state,
and cannot be regarded as being nearly
so valuable as phosphoric acid found
in commercial fertilizers. The great
body of the ashes is made up of lime
and other mineral elements.
Four or five dollars a ton is fair
average value for good, unleached wood
ashes, when compared with the usual
price of commercial fertilizer. Some are
misled as to the value of wood ashes
by the effect noticed on the crop when
trash or brush heaps are burned, but
the Improvement may be as much from
burning the soil as from the effects or
the ashes. 1t used to be practice in
England to put trash on the land and
burn 1t for the effect the burning would
have on the soil. Burning improves
the chemical condition of the soil If the
heat is not too intense. have seen
ashes drilled in with wheat several
times, but could notice no improve
ment over the wheat where they were
not used on same kind of soil A very
light application of commercial fertil-
izer made a considerable Improvement
on the crop grown side by side with
the wheat where the wood ashes were
used and where nothing was used.
Lime is not regarded as a fertilizer
on most soils, as in nearly all land
there is a sufficient quantity of lime
to supply the plants. Lime is regarded
DIS a stimulant. 1t has the effect OF
sweetening soured lands, and hastens
the decomposition of vegetable matter
in the soil. 1t has the power of MAX
ing heavy clay soils more porous by
flocculating the soil grains. and II also
has the opposite effect on sandy soils.
BY sweetening and improving the con-
dition of the soil. lime may help the
farmer grow much larger crops, when
iudiciously used, but 1t cannot take the
place of commercial fertilizer, because
il does not contain the elements of
fertility that are usually lacking in
soils. | do not mean to discourage the
use of ashes when they can be used
without too great a cost, but their
value should not be over-estimated.
They are worth applying to the soil
II we have them on hand. but are not
profitable II they have 10 be bought at
a hight price. Lime may be probably
used. but must be judiciously used, II
we are to derive any profit from it.

THE FARM AND THE GARDEN.

followed by the pleasant task of plant
ing. When roses are being set out in
temporary beds, or it is intended TO
remove them in the fall after bloom
ing, the distance of one foot apart will
be sufficient, especially if they are tea
roses; but if the beds are to be perrna-
nent, more space is required. Take it in
the South, where a vigorous tea rose
will attain a hight and width of sew
eral feet in a. season, they should not
be placed nearer together than three
feet. Properly speaking, they should
be put in a little deeper in the ground
than when first planted, the roots
spread around the stem, and pressed
down gently. yet firmly. If left loose
planted the roots will dry out and the
tops be shaken by the winds; while if
the ground be dry at the time of plant
ing, the young plants will need to be
thoroughly watered and shaded from
the midday sun for a week or more,
or until new growth has begun. IL is
not advisable to plant when the ground
is very wet. Why? Because in dry
ing out it is liable to bake and thus
check the growth of the young plants.
Should long continued drought &C.
eur, some mulching is required, and
straw, dried grass or leaves is excel
lent for this purpose.

WANT AN INSPECTOR.
Military Bill Is Not Approved by
Many savannah officers.

Many savannah Officers.
terday that the Senate had passed the
military bill was read with interest
by the officers Of the Georgia State
Troops in Savannah. They were not
altogether pleased, however. as the
majority do not seem to approve that
section of the bill which provides for
a combination of the Office of adjutant
general and that of inspector general.
They think that would mean that In
spector General Obear would lose his
position, and they consider that the
good of the service demands his re-
tention.
Mai. w. L. Grayson of the First
Infantry. and Capt w. E. Coney. ad-
tutant of the command, will do what
they can to have the bill defeated in
the House. They believe that is a
fate that may very likely befall it.
There have been a great many
amendments proposed for the measure
in the House, and they think it not
improbable that it will be impossible,
under the great pressure of other bust
ness, to reach the military bill, if all
of the amendments that have been
advocated are to be heard.
Capt. Coney said yesterday that he
has great hope for the appropriation
of 100000 asked from the state. He
now feels that 1t will be granted to
the military. In the minds of the Sa-
'vannah officers the Importance of the
military bill has seemed secondary to
that of an appropriation for the main
tenance of the troops.

FAlRBURN IN FINE TRIM.
Ready for His Bout with Ed Lenny
in savannah.

Hendy Tor HIS Bout WIN Ell Lehhy
in savannah.
The manager of Joe Fairburn, the
Philadelphia pugilist that is to meet
Ed Lenny shortly in Savannah, writes
the Morning News that his man is in
tfp-top condition and expects to win
the bout well within the limit
Further, he says that should Fair
burn win this bout, and he thinks he
WILL an effort will be made to make
match with either Young Corbett, who
recently defeated the redoubtable
Terry McGovern, or, if that cannot be
arranged, he will try take on McGoV-
ern. Among the men that Fairburn
has already met and defeated are
such masters of the game as Marty
McCue, Kid Broad, Joe Bernstein, Jack
Mcclellan and Oscar Gardner Fairburn
and his manager, Ed ]. Holland, will
leave Philadelphia for Savnnah to-
night.
The Savannah sports, especially
those who expect to see the Lenny-
Fairburn bout in Savannah this month
will be interested in learning that
Lenny made a 20-round draw with
Harry Lyons, the colored boxer in their
IGCeIl DOul III DdlillllOit. IiG OOul
was virtually a victory for Lenny for
Lyons had agreed to put him out in
twenty rounds task to which he
proved unequal. An account of the
bout says:
Lyons relied entirely on straight
left jabs to the head, with only occa-
sional leads for the body. In the
clinches he tried to beat Lenny down
with kidney blows, but they generally

landed where they would have any eff
feet. Lyons right was altogether
idle in offensive work except at in
fighting, and then he used the open
glove. Herford explained that this
was because of an Injured qknuckle,
but the audience thought the right
should have been more prominent.
"Lenny's style during the first ten
rounds and the last two was to take
all sorts of chances and make a right
and left swing for the jaw, in the hope
of a knockout, but Lyons blocked
these moves with ease, because his
hight made it almost impossible for his
opponent to reach over his guard. In
the middle of the fight Lenny changed
his tactics and went more for the body,
but there, again the long arms came
into play, and he seldom did serious
damage.
Lenny showed wonderful quickness
in lodging the dangerous left leads
which sought his jaw, missing them by
a hairs breadth in way which caught
the crowd. A feature of the fight was
the peculiar double delivery of the
right. by which Lenny would swing for
the jaw and after he had missed hit
hard back-hand blow with the same
hand as he turned. Several times he
reached Lyons head in this manner
and the blows told.
I'm the twentieth round. after a
fierce mix, Lyons landed a hot right
on Lenny's jaw as the latter was
backing out of clinch, and this blow
came near proving a winner, for it
staggered the white man, and when
Lyons landed a right uppercut to the
neck in the next clnch Lenny was
forced to begin clinching which he did
until the round ended, although he did
some hard infightng while saving him
