mtely in the office or laboratory A prac-
teal field test of the different crops with
different fertilizers containing different
combinations of the elements of plant
food is the only way to learn how to fer
tilize\ our land as well as our crops. Here
only can we obtain such practical infor-
nation as will enable US to use these fer
tilizers with profit and economy.
The idea that guano is guano no matter
what it's analysis or composition, that it
may be applied to all soils and crops in
discriminatory, will never go with the
successful and intelligent farmer He viii
find out what his soil requires and when
he buys his fertilizer he will see that the
elements OF plant food are present in the
right proportions to balance the plant
food in his soil for the crops he intends to,
grow.
A few experiements with the different
elements Of plant food will cost but lit
tie. Acid phosphate or ground bone will
furnish you with phosphoric acid. Cotton
seed meal dried blood, tankage and nj
trate of soda will supply ammonia; and
muriate of potash and kainit will give
you potash. Try these materials sepa-
rately and together in different combina-
tions until you find what your soil re-
uuires in a fertilizer. In using these diff
ferent materials remember that the per
cent" is the number of pounds OF any
given element Of plant food which they
contain per hundred POUNDS, ana III APP
plying them figure on the pounds OF ac-
tual ammonia phosphoric acid and potash
you use and not on the total bulk.
To compute the analysis when com
pounding a fertilizer, multiply the NUM-
Der of pounds of carrier" or body In
which these elements are contained by
the percentage of plant food 1t contains
and divide the result by the total number
of pounds Of fertilizer you are preparing
after the materials are mixed together
The result will be the per cent Of this
element Of plant food In your fertilizer
For instance in preparing a ton OF fer
tilizer we should use 1000 pounds OF IA
Der cent acid phosphate, 800 pounds OF 8
per cent cotton seed meal and 200 pounds
of 80 per cent muriate of potash. We null
tiply the 1000 pounds Of acid phosphate
nv the IA per cent Of plant food II con-
tains. the result is H. 900. We divide this
nv 200O and the result is L. or per cent
of phosphoric acid in our ton of fertilizer
In the same manner we find that the
meal gives us a fraction over per cent
of ammonia and the muriate or potash
gives us per cent easily.
BY a little study Of the above method
one can easily learn to figure the analy-
SIS of any fertilizer you may wish TO
compound. When mixing be sure to see
that II is done thoroughly. The mass
should be shoveled over from one pile 10
another three or four times until the
whole is of an even color.

JERE N, WILSON
DIES VERY SUDDENLY
UNEXPECTED DEATH cAUsEsTHE
COURT or INQUIRY TO
ADJOURN.

WASHINGTON, Sept. A.-The Schley
court Of inquiry was brought to a sudden
termination for the day eighteen minutes
after converting this morning by the an
nouncement of the sudden death OF Judge
jeremiah Wilson. senior counsel for Ad-
miral Schley.
The announcement was made to the
court by Hon. Isador Raynor assistant
counsel in the following language:
II have very sad announcement TO
make. have just heard Of the death OF
Judge Wilson. / left him at 10 o'clock
this morning. slightly indisposed. was
with him until late last night. I saw him
this morning at O'Clock and left MIN
at 10. We have confirmed the rurnor
through the telephone that he has just
died at the Shoreham hotel, and 1 would
respectfully ask the court. II 1t meets
with the approval of the court, TO ADJOURN
for today"
Admiral Dewey said:
81 have to announce that owing to the
death of Judge Wilson, of counsel, the
court will adjourn for today until To-
morrow morning.
Mr.. Raynor said that so far as he could
now see the counsel for Admiral Schley
would be able to proceed tomorrow, but
he added that there would be desire TO
attend the funeral when 1t occurred. Al.
miral Dewey and Captain Lemley agreed
that this detail could be arranged later
The announcement Of Judge Wilson,
death created CONSERVATION not only
among members of the court, but among
the spectators, and some minutes elapsed
before people generally would accept the
report
All the members of the court, including
counsel for the government and for Ad-
miral Schley, expressed the utmost sur
prise and sorrow over the news, while
Admiral Schley himself said;
1.-THE news is so shocking that cannot
trust myself to give expression to my es-
innate Of the man. can only say that 1
have lost not only clear-headed and bril-
liant counsel, but also a dear and much
beloved friend. I am shocked beyond
measure at the news, and find myself al
most unable to accept the report.
1t was announced at the court room that
Judge Wilson's death had occurred at :0S
a. m, at the Shoreham hotel, and that it
had been due to acute indigestion and
kidney affection. .r..
, The proceedings Of the court were rem
dered very brief by the announcement Of
Judge wilson's death. Commanders Bates
and Schroeder were recalled to listen to
the reading Of the official report Of their
testimony as given yesterday and First
Glass Machinist A B. Claxton, OF this
city, who had charge of the port engine
of the Texas on the day of the battle OF
Santiago had just taken the stand when
the announcement of Judge Wilson's
death was received. 1t had been expected
by the government that Mr.. Claxton
would confirm the statement of Engineer
Bates, concerning the reversal of the
engines of the Texas. During the short
time he was on the stand Engineer Bates
was asked a few questions. One of these
was by Captain Parker, and was in regard
to the steam log of the Texas. In reply
to the first inquiry Commander Bates
said the log had been written up the day
after the battle.

Give Each Close Study, and Treat Its Every Con-
diton. Use No Ready Made Medicines

Thousands Of people are afflicted with
some chronic disease and have never
known a we'll day for years, although
they are constantly taking medicines. BY
giving the subject a moments intelligent
thought, they can easily see that their
condition needs some special attention
that there Is no doubt some complication
which must be properly treated before a
cure can be effected.
Chronic diseases are very obstinate, and
there are seldom two cases alike. The
same disease very often has different
effect upon different people. and medi-
cine which will cure one case will do a
seemingly similar case no good whatever.
Those who rely upon ready-made patent
medicines can easily understand why
they still suffer.
Almost every mail brings me letters
from patients who are pleased with my
treatment from the very first. and who
are delighted to find that I understand
their case. and prepare treatment 10 meet

FRENCH FAIR.
Attended by the Usual Large

Tie opening evening of ST Angus

spite the extreme heat of the day
which continued into the evening with
almost unabated visor, the crowd
winch gathered Tor the event was
large. At one time during the even

those who were forced by circum-
stances IL stay away a large part of
the evening but who dropped in to
view the display of good things which
tempted a large part of the company
TO sit down and partake. brought the
rurlber up to much above 1000.

younger part Of Father Hamel's par
isnioners. 1t consisted of musical and
literary numbers of high merit which
We're listened to with much interest
especially by those of the audience
who were able to understand the Ian
guaCe Of our French American popu-
lation. In fact those who were unable
to do this cannot realize what they
missed.
The program already mentioned was
interspersed with musical selections
picasinsly rendered by the newly or
