POTATO AND FERTILIZER.

..- Things That Are Told.
Commercial fertilizers influence the
composition Of the potato, especially as
regards. the quality of starch it con-
tains, If analyses r to be relied upon.
The value Of potash. in producing 5ad-
ditional quantities of carbohydrates in
growing plants has been pretty we'll es-.
tablished. It is evident that the liberal
use Of potash not only fayors the
growth Of the potato in regard to yield,
but also tends to increase it's content
Of starch. = So II.
German experiments indicate that a
moderate use of nitrogen tends to
Slightly increase the content Of starch:
in the potato. An excessive use of nj
trogenous fertilizers Is to be avoided. Il
According to Virginia station reports:
Potatoes. grown without fertilizers
contain the greatest amount of dry
matter. The addition Of fertilizers
tends to diminish the dry matter and
also as the quantity Of fertilizer used
is increased the amount Of dry matter
is diminished. $%S z &5i as$
Potatoes grown where sulphate Of
potash is used contain more dry hat
ter than those where muriateis used.
Very little effect is produced ON the
starch by either the kind or amount OF
fertilizers used; their tendency is to In
crease rather2than to diminish 1t.
Potatoes. grown. with muriate of pot
ash c~ontainless dry matter but slight
" more starch than those grown with
sulphate of potash.
Neither the kind nor amount OF ferti-
lizer has any appreciable effect on the
percentage Of nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash contained In potatoes

OF THE LEGISLATURE AND ITS
LEGISLATION.

In retrospect of the legislature which
has Just adjourned, it may be said that
If it was not a brilliant body it was a
safe body. 1t was not a hurrah body.
It was a hard working, industrious, earn
est body, chat inquired with elaboration
and prudence into all measures ,,sug-
gested and acted as intelligence and con
scientious seeking after the best inter-
ests of the whole people dictated. There
are some disappointments in some Sec
tons of course, as there always are, and
some members who believe that good
measures have been defeated in some
instances and bad enes enacted, but the
judgment of the legislature is the judg-
ment of the majority, and it will be bet
ter to wait and pass Judgment when the
measures enacted shall have become
laws and their effect can be determined.
There is a superhuity of new laws a s a
result-o of the session, lone of them i'm
portant ones aside from the reapportion-
ment law and the appropriations. These
latter were amicably adjusted, the finan-
cial condition of the state being consid-
cred at all times, and as great iberality
manifested as conditions would permit.
x means to relieve the general fund OF
the state of the support of the educa'
tional institutions enabled the session
b tier to provide for the state institu-
tons than could otherwise have been
done, and at the same time the admins.
tration will be relieved Of financial EN-.
: b arrassment through overdraft of funds.
There were no scandals, little friction
not much disharmony, and the debates
we're temperate, deliberate, earnest ane
creditable. That no radical aDti-corpor
alton legislation was proposed or carried
indicates the good will and understand
ing existing between the people and thu
corporate interests in the state. It il
generally felt that the railroads are pay
e ing their full share of taxes, when the
rate Of assessment Of the valuable Rec
river valley lands is considered, and it il
agreed that until an increase is made il
he assessed valuation of the valleylands
an increase in railroad taxation cannot
justly be made. .+>'~ e. . -,

ter of the republican platform declara-
tions on the prohibition question, and
moves looking to resubmission or the
weakening of the prohibition law were
promptly sat down upon. The business
instinct Of the legislature was strong. as
is indicated by the sensible steps taken
toward the betterment of the states
financial condition and the more careful
management of its affairs. While the
large number of laws passed would indi-
cate many changes in existing provisions
of law, still the changes provided for in
many cases are technical and in others so
slight that in the operation of the new
laws they will be hardly noticeable to
the average individual.
The legislators were entertained as
we'll as the capital city knew how to do,
and SO far as known there are nothing
but kindly feelings for Bismarck and its
citizeds. All or nearly all of the mem
bers 60 home feeling that they have been
we'll treated, both as members of the leg
%islature seeking what is best for their
constituents and as guests of the city Of
Bismarck for a short portion of the bien-
NAL period. Doubtless many of the
members will return two years from
now: To them now, in departing, the
city extends it's cordial good will. To
them returninp two years hance tho
city will extend it's usual welcome and
will leave nothing undone that can make
the social side of their legislative expert
ence pleasant and profitable.
In the session of the legislature just
closed, the clerical work in both house
and senate was we'll handled under the
efficient direction of Secretary Townes
and Chief Clerk j. D. Seaman, Both of
these officers were new to the work, but
they devoted themselves to a thorough
understanding of their duties, and the
result was that the work was done
smoothly and we'll. Secretary TONNES
made friends by his uniform courtesy
and careful attention to duties, and as
for Chief Clerk Scanlan-the mantle of
the former able house clerks fell on 1T
ting shoulders. Everybody likes Joe
and the in which he buckled
down to work and managed the house
force reflects credit upon him.

To Prevent Explosions.

Rear Admiral Charles O'Neil, chief
OF naval ordnance, in order to prevent
further explosions OF -pierc-
ing shells in the I3-inch guns on battle
ships, has directed that all semi-armor-
piercing shells under manufacture shall
be made with thicker walls and with a
gas check.
Rather than have another premature
explosion, he will probably request the
department to order that these piercing
shells be used, without the powder
charges, in target practice
In regard to the report that one OF
the forward I3-inch guns of the battle
ship Alabama had been disabled in the
recent gun test off the Virginia capes,
Rear Admiral O'Neil said that the in
Jury is not serious one, that the gun
will not have to be taken from the ship,
and that at present the bureau does not
contemplate making any repairs on the
gun at all, as IS usefulness has not been
impaired, Admiral O'Neil says that
shell exploded within the bore OF the
gun and SCARED it somewhat, but did
no serious injury.

lie Speaks Of the Necessity Of Commercial
EducstlOn- British Complacency

London (By Cable) lord Rosebery,
speaking at Birmingham on the neces
sity Of Great Britain being better equip
ped in political and commercial educa-
ton, dwelt upon the dangers of Brit
ish complacency"
He urged his countrymen to initiate
the United States and referred to the
restless enterprise of the Americans,
their devourng anxiety to improve ex-
listing machinery and methods and the
apparent impossibility of accumulating
any fortune, however gigantic, which
shall satisfy or be sufficient to allow OF
leisure and repose."
Later in his address Lord Rosebery
observed: "A disdain of fnality and an
anxiety for improving on the best seems
almost a disease in America; but in
Great Britain we can afford to catch the
complaint, at any rate in a mitigated
form, and give in exchange some OF our
own self-complacency"

About al per cent of the total popu-
ation OF the United States attend pub

attend private schools, according to the
annual report of the Commissioner OF

supported by general and local taxes
was 15,443,462. Counting in special in
stitutions, such as evening schools, In
dian schools, schools connected with
asylums, reform schools, and other in
stitutions more or less educational in
their character, increases the total NUM-
Der by half million pupils
The statistics, as interpreted by the
commissioner, show uniform concen-
