Fertilizer men are in the habit of
stating the amount of nitrogen sup
piled in fertilizer as ammonia" This
habit dates from the time when am
monia compounds were really the chief
source of nitrogen in fertilizers But
nowadays not one fertilizer in ten
really contains ammonia as SUCH the
articles now used are animal offal or
tankage, and most frequently Chile
saltpetre. that is, nitrate of soda.
1t is now known that plants take up
ammonia, directly only to a very linn
tied extent; it is mostly first converted
into nitrates by the soil bacteria and
nitrates are known to act most rapidly
and fully upon crops; so that ammonia
nitrogen is rated at only nine tenths
the value of nitrogen in nitrates
Now ammonia, whether ready
formed or given off in the decay of
animal matter, remains in the soil
practically without waste until it is
ritrihed, that is, converted into nitric
acid or is absorbed by the plants But
nitrates, whether formed in the soil or
added in the form of Chile saltpetre.
are readily washed out of the soil by
rains or irrigation.
1t is thus seen that if the farmer
trusting TO the statement as ammo
MIA" puts out his fertilizer in the au-
tumn or before heavy irrigation he
may have all the nitrogen he has paid
for washed into the country drainage
If nitrates have been used to furnish
the nitrogen which is the most expen-
sive of all the ingredients supplied in
fertilization. The farmer is surely en-
titled to know in what form the nitro
gen is supplied to him. so that he may
avoid such losses. If he knows his
business he will use no nitrogen in the
nest active but also the most. elusive
form. as nitrates. in autumn: and in
spring and summer only by install
ments, as top-dressing. so as to have

sion being the transfer of the body of
the late Mrs. Alexander ST Clair
Abrams, who died oct. Z, 1901, to the
beautiful marble mausoleum recently
erected The mausoleum is one of the
most magnificent in the South. The
location is the best in this beautiful
burying ground, and thousands have
admired the beautiful structure. which
is the handsomest ever constructed in
Florida. The ST. Clair-Abrams maui
soleum was built according to the
drawings and under the supervision of
H. j. Kutho. architect. In design and
detail the Roman Doric order has been
strictly followed. All of the exterior
walls are of Georgia marble, and en-
tablature, pediment. parapet, etc. of
copper. The interior has marble tiled
floor and cemented walls and ceiling.
There are eight Catacombs, four form
ing a lower and another four the up
per tier. all of them being separated
from each other by a twelve-inch-
thick cement wall all around. Each
catacomb has a marble slab. on which
the inscription of its occupant is hewn.

FLORIDA.

George NJ. Hopkins, who has lately
purchased $4,000 acres on the eastern
edge of Osceola county for a stock
ranch is going to work on sensible
lines. He will proceed to fence in his
land and the fence will include a num-
of squatters. He has directed that
these shall receive preference in any
employment he may have TO give, and
that their cattle shall be allowed to
Craze undisturbed inside his fence I'M
til their owners shall be able to find
some other location. If this friendly
policy had always prevailed it would
probably have prevented the extensive
fence cutting which has been perpe-
trated several times in South Florida.

Columbia State; Yesterday the pen
sion rolls were gotten in such shape
by the state pension clerk that it was
possible to get at an accurate state
ment showing the status of the rolls
this year. There are 1858 names on
this years roll. as against 6,503 last
year, Notwithstanding there have been
about $50 deaths of pensioners since
last year. This is an increase of l.
1S5, or is per cent. The largest in
crease is shown in the county of Oco-
nee and the next largest in Chester
field. A great deal of the increase is
supposed to be due to the fact that
many old soldiers and widows who
have been able to take care of them
selves heretofore have not as much
earning capacity as heretofore and
have had to apply for pensions

]. deb. K. Savannah. Ga: On soil
of like quality the velvet beans will
generally give a much larger quantity
of vegetable matter than cowpeas,
though the Unknown" or Wonder
full" pea produces a large mass of vines
on any fair soil We would advise
you If it comes at all convenient to
use both and see which you like the
better. You should be able to procure
the velvet bean from any first-class
seed store in Savannah and doubtless
you can get the variety of pea sug-
gested by making inquiry. If the seeds
are of good quality a peck of velvet
beans will plant an acre-rows feet
apart and ? seeds every feet in the
row. You need not attempt to turn
under the vines of either green You
will have to let them die on the land
or NOW the vines and allow them to
wilt thoroughly before turning under.
As rule it pays to plant so as to
cultivate once anyhow. AS an eco
nomic plant the velvet bean must be
regarded as inferior to the Wonder
fur pea, but as a producer of vegeta-

HOTEL cAsHIER MISSING.

Nothing has been heard of William
II. Biggs, cashier of the Hotel st.
George at St. Augustine, and no trace
can be found of the missing $780,
Biggs confessed that he had lost the
amount gambling, and It was firmly
believed that on receipt of the amount
missing from his relatives he would
balance his account. 1t now appears
that when the money arrived to make
good the deficiency young Biggs ap-
propriated it and departed for new
fields. A warrant was issued for his
arrest, but he had a days start. He
has been traced to Charleston. Biggs
is a young man of good family. and, it
is understood, came to St. Augustine
for his health.

THE FARM AND THE GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO HOUSE
WIFE AND AGRICULTURIST.

Cleaning Soil for Strawberries.
Plant Under New Name-HOw to
Get Rid of Notes.-The Respective
Merits of Velvet Beans and Cow
Peas.
A correspondent who is thinking of
planting a large size patch of straw
berries this fall wishes to know the
best methods of treating the soil dur
ing the summer so that it will be free
of weeds or any spontaneous growth
after the berry bed is established.
There is only one way to accomplish
this result even partially and that is
to keep the soil in clean fallow all
during the summer. Just as fast as any
weeds or grass springs up stir the soil
with sweep or harrow or rake. He
should stir the soil about every two
weeks, keeping it perfectly clean up
to Nov. l. when the strawberry plants
should be set out. One year fallow will
not clean the soil entirely, but it will
do a good deal towards that end. Later
when the plants are set out be sure
not to use any manure on the land that
contains any grass or weed seeds.
Avoid all stable or lot manure. and
rely entirely on minus fertilizers sup
plemented with cotton seed meal or
nitrate of soda to supply any needed
nitrogen.
In old garden spots it would proba-
bly, require a number of years to de-
oil he DF
plants that lie hid in the soil to the
depth of a foot. There are many
seeds that lie in the soil for years
before terminating.

A SECOND DENIAL.
The Terrell Men Are Evidently
Scared

are Evidently
Scared.
Some days ago our Washington cor
respondent sent us expressions of opin-
ion from Georgia's representatives re-
specting the gubernatorial campaign.
Among them some utterances. friendly
to Col. Estill were attributed to Rep
resentative w. c. Adamson. 1t was
minated that Col. EstiH might get
some of the counties in Mr. Adamson's
district. Our correspondent sent us a
correction, saying that, Mr.. Adamson
did not think Col Estill would get
any counties in his district We pub
lished the correction, but il seems we
did not give it sufficient prominence
So Mr.. Adamson wired us another
correction.
What is the matter? Are the Terrell
men scared? Have they discovered
that the Terrell managers made mis-
take when they started out claiming
120 counties? OF course we will pub
fish Mr.. Adamson's second correction.
We are sure he would not ask its pub
LEGATION if he did not think Mr.. Terrell
was in need of all the assistances he
could give him. Probably Mr.. Adam
son has not had an opportunity to
find out that some remarkable changes
have taken place in respect to the
gubernatorial candidates since he was
in his district Anyway, what Mr..
Adamson asks us to publish is the fol-
lowing:
Il never said, thought nor imagined
the statements attributed to me: have
no reason to doubt that Terrell will
carry every county in my section of
the state, and carry every other one
in WI q y;
have l ever entertained or expressed
such doubts. w. C. Adamson.

and the waist Is collarless, with the ex.

of thing. At the bottom, however
there is pretty flare. The sole trim

muslin Is a new Idea from Paris. The
beauty OF the gown described Is that,
while giving dressy effect, 1t is essen
