Special Fertilizer VS.. Barnyard Ma
nure.

The more study the fertilizer ques-
tion the palmer does it appear to my
mind that the so-called special fertilizers
are means of deceiving the farmer who
is not well posted upon fertilizer ques-
tions, and considered in that sense the
special fertilizers are frauds, says writ
er in The EpitOmist. The idea of a
chemist, who knows nothing of the ele-
ments contained in the soil on which the
fertilizer is to be used, preparing a
special fertilizer for certain crop is not
a practical one. The special crop fertil-
izer is to be used upon soils that are as
variable as can be. 1t is requiring too
much of the chemist to expect him to
prepare fertilizer to suit all soils by
preparing single mixture in the proper
ratio to be most economical for one farm
in the growing of any special crop. Not
only this but the special fertilizer for
this farm is recommended for every
other farm no matter what the con-
ditions. / have selected three different
special fertilizers manufactured by three
different firms and recommended as
specials for corn. The first one contains
s per cent phosphoric acid, less than
per cent of nitrogen and per cent of
potash. The second one contains l3 per
cent phosphoric acid, 2.5 per cent nitro
gen and 3.5 per cent potash. The third
one contains per cent phoshoric acid,
.S2 per cent nitrogen and 4 per cent
potash. The above are the fertilizer ele-
ments that are claimed to be in the fer
tilizers by the manufacturers and they
show quite difference in the ratios of
the different elements, almost as much
as is found in any mixed goods. Now
if either of the three is right, which one
is it? If one of them is right and the other
two are wrong, how can the farmer de-
wrong, what is there in special fertilizers
except deception? | notice in the
Midland Farmer an article in which Bry-
an Tyson undertakes to prove that
barnyard manure needs balancing, and
he says that a corn fertilizer should con-
tain 2 per cent nitrogen, perc ent phos-
phoric acid and per cent potash. II
Mr.. Tyson is correct the three manu-
facturers are all wrong. If we under
take to use a special fertilizer why not
compound the Ingredients in the same
ratio that they are found in the crop to
be grown? Then the fertilizer will be
Just what the average farmer thinks he
is buying when he is led to buy special
fertilizer. If this was done fertilizer
for corn that would be expected to grow
fifty bushels of corn per acre must supply
thirty-one pounds of phosphoric acid,
sixty-seven pounds of nitrogen and eigh-
ty pounds of potash, as this is about the
amount of the different elements that
would be removed in the grain and
stalks with fifty bushels of corn. This
would be quite different showing from
any special fertilizers prepared for corn.

a story that wrenched his heart 80
savagely that anger, resentment, help
lessness and love oozed forth and en-
yeloped him in multitude Of emotions
that would not disperse.
"She will not mind my telling you,
because she considers you the very
best of men, Mr.. Lorry," said the count
ess, who had learned her English un-
der the Princess Yetive's tutor.
It seems, according to the very truth
full account given by the lady, that the
princess had it in her power to save
Graustark from disgrace and practical
destruction. The Prince Of Axphain's
son, Lorenz, was deeply enamored OF
her. infatuated by her marvellous beau.
ty and accomplishments. He had per-
suaded his father to consider a matri-
monial alliance with her to be one OF
great value to Axphain. The old
prince, therefore, some months before
the arrival Of the Americans in Grau-
stark sent to the princess substitute
ultimatum, couched in terms so polite
and conciliatofy that there could be no
mistaking his sincerity. He agreed to
give Graustark new lease Of life, as
it were, by extending the fifteen years
or, III other words, to grant the con-
quered an additional ten years In
which to pay off the obligations i'm
posed by the treaty. He furthermore
offered a considerable reduction In the
rate Of interest for the next ten years.
But he had condition attached to this
good and gracious proposition-the mar
rage Of Graustark's sovereign. His
ambassador set forth the advantages
of such an alliance, and departed with
message that the matter should have
most serious consideration.
The old princes proposition was q
blow to the princess, who was placed
in a trying position. BY sacrificing
herself she could save her country. but
in 80 doing her life was to be plunged
into interminable darkness. She did
not love nor did she respect Lorenz,
who was not favorably supplied with
civilized intelligence.
The proposition was laid before the
cabinet and the nobility by the princess

There are seldom drafts of air under
sheds, and they afford the very best con-
ditions in summer, being more easily
cleaned than are closed poultry houses,
and afford more comfort to the hens. A
shed with the front protected by wire
gives all the advantages of outdoor
roosting and at the same time shelters
the fowl from storms, no ventilating
devices being required as in closed
houses.

Lorry. Gaspon had cabled the princess
that affairs were in hopeless condi-
ton, begging her to come home and do
what she could in final appeal to the
people, knowing the love they had for
her. She came and has seen these 10y
al subjects offer their lives for her and
for Graustark. but utterly unable to
give what they have not-money. She
asked them II she should disband the
army, and there was negative wall

CHAPTER XIII.
UNDER NOON AND MONASTERY.
~OR two days Lorry lived through
intermittent stages Of delight
and despondency. His recovery
from the effects Of The blow
administered by Dannox was naturally
rapid, his strong young constitution
coming to the rescue bravely. He saw
much of the princess, more Of the
Countess Dagmar, and made the ac-
1uaintance Of many lords and ladies
for whom he cared but little except
when they chose to talk of their girlish
ruler. The atmosphere Of the castle
was laden with depression that could
not be overcome by an assimilated
gayety.
The princess could not hide the trou-
BILE that had sprung up in her eyes.
Her laugh, her gay conversation, her
rare composure and gentle hauteur
were powerless to drive away the
haunted, worried CLEAN in those ex-
pressive eyes Of blue. Lorry had 1t on
his tongues end dozen times during
the next day or so after the counts
narrative to question her about the
condition Of affairs as they appeared
to her.
The Countess Dagmar, when not
monopolized by the very progressive or
aggressive Anguish, unfolded to Lorry
certain pages in the personal history of
the princess, and he, Of course, en-
couraged her confidential humor, al
though there was nothing encouraging
in it for him.
Down by the great fountain, while
the soldiers were on parade, the fair
but volatile countess unfolded to Lorry

The Advertiser has, for more than two
years past, urged primary law which
should confne the politics of a given
party to its members. The second
plank of its harmony platform called
for that reform. The factional troubles
which, for long period, disturbed the
Republican party of Hawaii were due,
in some measure, to the action If the
first Republican Territorial convention
in adopting wide open primary rules.
This gave the schemers a chance of
which they promptly availed them
selves, of running the primaries on a
fractional basis with the nelp of Home
Rule votes. Trouble ensued as a nat
ter of course. The distinctive party
primary, which the coming Legislature
ought to institute, means fair play for
everybody. Under it Republicans,
Democrats and Home Rulers would
each manage their own party.
