Attorney General Knox. Just before the

announced that the President had decided
to appoint Ashley NJ. Gould Judge of the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.
The appointment of Mr.. Gould has been ex-
pected for seevral days by his friends but
the matter was kept exceedingly quiet to
prevent any of the plans going wrong. Sem
ator McComas of Maryland talked with the
President yesterday about the vacancy on
the District bench and obtained from the
latter assurances that Mr.. Gould's selec-
tion would probably be made without delay.
Although a local man. Mr. Goud's former
citizenship in Maryland drew to him the
strong support of the Maryland republicans.
Mr.. Gould, therefore, had behind him the
strongest kind of local Endorsement besides
outside strength that did much to secure
him the position.
The two judgeships, that on the local
bench and the Court of Claims vacancy,
have been untitled for number of months,
in fact since the early summer. and there
has been an endless amount Of speculation

ATTACKS HERR KRUPP
VORWAERTS SNEERS AT HIS AL
LEGED BENEvoLENcE.
Men Are Discharged Without Receiv-
ing What They Paid in
Assessments.

BERLIN, November 25.-The socialist or
gan Vorwaerts, in page and half today,
deals with what it calls the hypocrisy of
idealizing Herr Krupp as a benevolent
genius The paper does not touch on the
immediate charges which it brought against
the deceased, but analyses the pension sys-
tenn of the Krupp firm, which, it says, is a
species Of refined swindling." adding: ''The
ENORMOUS so-called benevolent funds have
been built up by compulsory contributions
from employees, who could be arbitrarily de-
prived of participation in the advantages.
They are required to contribute 2n per cent
of their wages for twenty years before they
are eligible to pension upon disability. In
the meantime If an employe is discharged
or resigns he loses all he has contributed
often exceeding $3.50. The employees are
morally and economically terrorized and
must in humility accept every petty regu-
lation of the firms officials or lose 21a per
cent of what they have earned in the firm S
service. This terrorism Is applied to poltt-
ical opinions where they become known.
Large Numbers Discharged.
'"The number of men leaving or discharg-
ed during the past three years averaged
1000 or 5000 yearly. The employees found
the system SO unsatisfactory that five great
meetings were held this year for the pur-
pose of seeking legal redress"
The Vorwaerts cites an instance Of a
labor representative on the advisory COM
mittee of the benevolent pension fund who
mildly criticised the management, and who,
several days later. having in the meantime
paid his annual dues, was dismissed.
The paper also quotes the German budget
committee proceedings as showing that the
Krupp works have been charging the navy
500 per ton above what the United States
pays for nickel-steel plates, amounting
yearly to $4,000 for Herr Krupp and the
Stumm works.
The attacks on Herr Krupp and the in
tense sensation which they created have
caused a furious political discussion, the
socialists calling attention to the "degen-
Grating influence Of great wealth." and the
conservatives pointing out the desperate
character of the socialist attack upon the
existing order of society,""

SOUTHERN TRUCK FARMING.
the Vast Prairie Section OF
the Gulf Coast.

A few years ago the entire gulf
coast prairie section was considered
fit only for cattle ranges, and farming
was not thought of except to grow
gardens and roasting ear patch on
land where cattle had been penned.
The soil was considered too poor for
farming to any greater extent, and
compared with alluvial bottoms,
black prairies and the sandy loans,
where red oak and hickory thrive,
these coast prairies may yet be
classed as poor-poor for cotton and
corn, the great staples of the coun-
try. True, this poor land, by judi
cious fertilizing could be made more
productive than any natural soil, but
to fertilize large areas for growing
low-priced products was out Of the
question; it wouldn't pay, and cult
waiting small ones for any purpose,
except garden vegetables for home
use, was beneath the dignity of the
old-time farmer, who measured him
self by the number of his cultivated
acres. The thousand-acre farmer was
just ten times as important a per-
sonage as the hundred-acre farmer,
regardless of financial solvency. \
visit to the coast country now will
show how great change may be
made in few years. Truck farms
have sprung up around almost every
railroad station, and train load after
train load of valuable products are
moved out every shipping season. The
great level plains are scanned in every
direction with large canals, on which
low-draught steamers might easily
float, and the level landscape is alive
with labor-saving tools, leach doing the
work that formerly required a dozen
men a dozen hours per day to per.
form. In season these plains become
seas of water, only obscured by the
waving rice rapidly maturing under
ripening sun. In short, the land
that was too poor for the old-style
farming is now the most prosperous
agricultural section in all the south

gathering. It is just as simple q mat
ter, just as easy, much more satisfac-
tory, and far more profitable. to
gather from three to six tons of good
dry hay from each and every acre
devoted to grass for hay, than it is to
get one or two tons annually from
the same amount of ground. 1t is
mainly question of seeding the land
properly at first, and feeding tho
crop literally afterwards.
Bare patches in either pasture or

muda is the reliance, clean the roots,
run them through a cutter, mix with
oats; break the land, SOW the oats
and joints of Bermuda in the rough,
then harrow or roll, or both. Do
this in the early spring.
Where land is deficient in nitrogen,
and land and grass poor alike, com.
plete fertilizer is necessary. The fol-
lowing fertilizer may be safely relied
on: 80 to $50 pounds of nitrate of
soda, ESQ to 500 pounds acid phos-
plate and so to 160 pounds muriate
of potash. On very poor SOIL tho
minimum application would possibly
be found sufficient; but where the
land is moderately good, the maxi
mum application would undoubtedly
be the best, or the first formula men
toned, containing eight per cent.
phosphoric acid and eight per cent.
potash, might be applied any time
during winter; then in spring, just
as the grass is starting to grow, top
dress with 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda.
Chemical fertilizers are much bet
ter for grass, and much more palata-
BILE for the stock, than is stable ma
nure. Where grass receives a heavy
dressing of stable manure, stock will
not eat it all, except as they are
forced to-and who can blame them?

HERE AND THERE.

Deep blowing and thorough prep
aration by disking and rolling has
often increased the yield of both oats
and wheat by 100 per cent. Then
why not farm that way every year?
In Connecticut the farming land
is high-priced; nevertheless, three
fourths of it is devoted to hay and
pasture grasses. This is merely, but
truly, an indication of the value OF
grass in farm economy.
After oats are harvested, cotton.
corn, German millet, sweet potatoes
and second crop Irish potatoes may
be planted with fair assurance OF sue
cess. Why should land be required to
produce but one crop, when two may
be secured?
News comes from Rome, Ga, that
