Fertilizers for potatoes received the
best and widest of tests all over the
country in the American Agriculturist
crop contests of 1889 and again in 1880.
The ten largest crops averaged o33
bushels per acre the first year and 633
bushels the next year. Most of them
were grown by the use of high grade
special potato fertilizers. The amount
of fertilizer used ran all the way from
800 TO 5000 pounds per acre. but the
largest yields over the greatest variety
of soils and climates were obtained
from 1,S00 to 1900 pounds of fertilizer
per acre. Plant food in excess of 1000
pounds per acre did not materially in
crease the yield, al'l that is probably
the utmost fertilizer that can be prof
itably used per acre by expert grow
ers. All these large crops of potatoes
paid handsome profits. Some put half
the fertilizer in the furrow, running
through with Il brush harrow to lightly
mix it with soil before planting, the
rest of the fertilizer being sown be-
tween the rows just before the first
cultivation. Others broadcastcd half
the fertilizer and narrowed it in be
fore furrowing out for the seed and
cultivated or hoed in the balance. Sta
bic manure does not produce as large
crops of potatoes or us good quality as
the best grades of fertilizers.

value of Good Seed Corn.

AS an Illustration of the Importance
which some corn growers place upon
having good seed The Live Stock
World tells of Missouri man. who
usually grows several thousand acres
of corn, who applied to an Illinois man
to furnish him the seed to use this
spring. The Illinois man also raises
several thousand acres Of corn and has
reputation as grower of one of the
best varieties. but he had to decline
the liberal offer made for what the
other wanted, as he thought he had
not enough to fill it after filling other
orders taken and taking what he would
need for his own use. He had lots of
corn to sell, but not such as he would
send out as well bred and carefully Sc
lected seed. The would be buyer also
had corn to sell, and he was asked why
he did not save seed from his own
crop. He replied. ''Because have not
the time and cannot hire men to do It
properly" Breeding good seed corn is
a special business in that section, as
much as breeding the stock to feed it
to.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Better Farming Needed.

Agriculture is the occupation of the
majority of the people of this country;
hence it seems when agriculture is
aourishing all other business should be
prosperous. Therefore it follows that
anything which aids the agricultural
cause benefits the whole country and
the whole people, for all its inhabitants
must be fed and clothed.
The improvement of the soil should.
then, be the aim of all true farmers
and especially all farm owners. AS Il
classes of farmers, the first and larger
class being those who farm for dollars
and cents that can be got out of the
farm during the current season; the
second class are those who farm for
permanent Improvement and the dol
lars they expect not only in the pres
ent, but in the future. If their crops
ira labor, they know they VII. certainly
pay the second season, the future crops
being benefited thereby.
How much better, then. the country
nj large would be in a few years if our
farmers would till the soil for perma-
nent improvement. 1t is said that ''he
who makes two blades of glass to grow
where but one grew before" is a public
benefactor Our farmers at large do
not generally see this or will not see it
and so keep on with the old skinning
process, their farms going down and
producing less each seasonal. E.

BOYCOTT UPHELD.
Decision of Missouri Supreme Court
Is Good News For Labor.


Labor men in Chicago have pc
culiar interest in the decision given by
the supreme court of Missouri, sitting
In banc at Jefferson City, upholding
the. right of the labor unions to levy a
boycott, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Judge Kohlsaat of this city has the
distinction of being the only judge in
the country to issue an injunction re-
straining labor union from notifying
its members, either by means of tele-
phone, telegraph or any other way,
that a certain firm did not employ un.
ion labor
This temporary order was issued sew
eral months ago by Judge Kohlsaat
against the Custom Clothing Makers
union on the petition of the Globe
Tailoring company Of Cincinnati. The
injunction was not made permanent,
as the firm made peace with the union
before n hearing could be had, but the
temporary restraining order was wide,
ly commented on throughout the coun-
try.
The decision cf the Missouri supreme
court was given on a petition of the
Max & Haas Jeans Clothing company
of st. Louis to restrain the unions
from issuing circulars calculated to in
jure its business. The injunction had
been refused in the circuit court and
an appeal taken to the higher authori-
ty. The bin was dismissed, the court
holding that 1t had no power to abridee
the right of free speech or free publ
cation, the person making such speech
or issuing such publication being re-
sponsible. The decision said the fact
that such persons in this case We're
financially irresponsible did not en-
large the power of the court.
In the opinion Justice Sherwood said:
IF these defendants are not permit
ted to tell the story of their wrongs,
or, if you please, their supposed
wrongs, by word of mouth or with pen
and print and to endeavor to prevail
means in securing redress of such
wrongs, what becomes of free speech
and of personal liberty?'
The decision is regarded by labor
men in Chicago as the most important
given in years, as there are certain in
dustries where the boycott is the only
available weapon, and the labor union
must guard it as carefully as it would

of employment become irksome 10 its

AGE LIMIT OF WORK.
The Folly of Trying to Establish II
at the Early Age of Forty-fve.


In taking up the question of an age
limit" and opposing the practice which
tends to disqualify men oyer forty-tve
years of age as too old for useful labor
the Chicago Federation of Labor is
fighting against cruel and senseless
discrimination. At forty-five men still
have twenty-five years to live before
their allotted span is run. The majority
of them have from fifteen to twenty
years of very useful activity before
them. Frequently men attain their
fullest and best powers at fifty, when
any loss of mere manual deXterity is
more than compensated for by expert
cnce and ripened judgment. Indeed it
may be set down as general truth
that among men who have lived sober
and careful lives the years Immediately
following forty-five are among the best.
1t is a trite declaration that the pres
ent age is the young mans age, but the
men who are young today will them
selves be forty-fve tomorrow. Neither
they nor their elders can afford to en-
brace the false hypothesis that the la
DOT uliiIhcl WITH pIOplitlN YAH be reg
ulated by an arbitrary adjustment of
age limits. The labor supply is regu-
lated by the number of sound and ca
pable men who can work, be their age
twentysiX or sixty. 1t would be an
absurd economic doctrine under the
present condition which held that the
activities of the world were to be car
ried on by men between certain ages
and that all Others must consent to be
shelvcd as unfit for further service.
1t is worthy of note that employers
of labor who rule out men of forty-hvc
or over are toiling effectively to make
operative the dreams of those who ad
vocate socialistic doctrines of govern
ment control of industries. Such in
dustries they would have carried on by
young men, while those of maturer
years were supported free of work on
the bounty of the commonwealth. Thus
the socialist and the foolish employer
box the compass between them by go
ing in opposite directions. - Chicago

A soil can be termed fertile only
when it contains all the materials
requisite for the nutrition Of plants in
the required quantity and in the proper
.oym. With every crop n part of these
ingl cdierts is removed. and it remains
for nature and man to make good this
loss. Practical experience has proved
that nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash are the substances mpst needed to
be applied to soils to make or keep
them fertile. No crop can be grown on
nny one of these elements If the other
two are lacking.

Fishing Through Street GratinEs.
In Winchester. England. it is quite
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen. a noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end of stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked. the line and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
emerges from under the street and is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish.

FORFEIT POSTED.
Fitz Puts Up $4,000 to Bind Match
With Champion Jeffries,

Robert FitZsimmons yesterday in New
York posted $500 to guarantee his APP
pearance in the ring with James j. Jeffres
at any time and anywhere the champion
heavyweight pugilst may select for a fight.
Fitzsimmons is evidently sincere, because,
following the forfeit, he sent the following
dispatch to Jeffries at Los Angeles:

each for expenses? Leave it all with you.
Go ahead and get best bids. When will you
post forfeit? ROBERT FITZS1MMONS.
Fitz evidently recognized that he made a
mistake in clinging to his idea that he
could fight in South Carolina, when per-
sons who are thoroughly acquainted with
conditions there told him it would be i'm
possible 1t began to be insinuated that he
was afraid to fight.
When the rumor reached him that sport
ing men were saying he was afraid, and
when he saw this rumor published he de-
termined at once to settle all doubts of that
kind.
ST will fight Jeffries," said he, ION his
own terms and at his own home. 1 am not
afraid to fight any living man." and he
wired Jeffries to that effect.
The posting of that money yesterday
shows the sincerity of Fitz in the matter.
