Potash Fertilizers.

Probably the cheapest form in
which the farmers can buy potash
fertilizer now is the muriate OF pot
ash. In wood ashes they can get the
potash i'm combination with lime, and
the lime has some value on certain
varieties of soil. but the potash value
is very uncertain, unless the ashes
have "A guaranteed analysis. kainit
and sulphate OF potash have a guar
anteed analysis, but the latter is OF
too high a cost, excepting for tobacco,
where ii Is claimed TO make a better
leaf than the muriate, which has a
considerable percentage Of chlorine, or
chloride OF sodium, which in plain
English mean. the active principle
i'm common salt. But for nearly all
other crops the murate is equally as
good as the sulphate, and the potash
that il contains costs less money.
There may be other crops for which
it is better TO use the sulphate than
the muriate, but so much is dependent
upon soil and season. and one the pre-
vious condition of the SOIL that we
will not venture TO name them, except
ing to say that they are mostly among
those crops that are grown for leaf
and foliage rathls~than for the root
crops. Some would class cabbages
and cauliflower among them, but we
are not sure that the chlorine or salt
in the muriate is not more beneficial
than injurious TO them, and celery is
said to make a ranker growth, but to
be more likely to be hollow hearted
or pithy when. the sulphate Of potash
is used than when muriate is used.
We do not know that any experiments
have been tried to prove this.-Ameri-

discovered by testing the effect upon

The Sbrfing Chinese Throne.
Where 1t Is Likely To Be

Revival of ru nors that the Chinese Ca
pital is to b, removed is probably not sig
nifcant of any purpose on the part of the
empress or emperor. A recent Shanghai
despatch adds bit of color to the idea by
suggesting as motive that the empress
fears she may be trapped in Peking and
has, therefore, decided to establish the court,
at Kai Fong en- the Yellow River, about
400 miles south of PeEing, connected by
rail with the latter city and with Shanghai,
and we'll known for the anti foreign senti-
ment Of its population Of half a million
persons. It is hardly possible, hewever,
that the crafty old dowager or her adviser,
Iii Hung Chang, is ignorant Of the tact
that the powers have no designs upon her
having decided that as matter Of policy
she is hey ond reaah of the punishment she
no doubt deserves. Nor is it likely that
she would now, after having submitted to
all other demands, SO flsgrantly violate the
spirit Of one of the most important of them
by withdrawing the court from the line Of
communication with the sea which the po
wers have underta ,en to keep open under
protection OF military garrisons.
