Plaster ana Nitrate on Glover.


Sulphate Of potash and plaster-about
LOO pounds each per acre-should give
good results on clover. The use OF pot
ash will be better if applied before
seeding, as it may injure young plants
that are just appearing, but the plaster
will prove beneficial on clover If used
alone. For corn the plaster will give
but little benefit. A mixture of 100
pounds Of nitrate Of soda, $50 pounds
bonemeal and 125 pounds sulphate of
potash. for general crops, will prove
excellent, but If the nitrate is doubled
In quantity 1t will be better. Broad
cast the mixture over the surface, after
narrowing for corn, and then harrow
it in before planting. The correct pro-
portions Of each substance largely de-
pend upon the fertility Of the soil and
the kind Of crops. Nitrate Of soda gives
excellent results on all kinds Of grain
crops. while plaster is a special fertil-
tzer for clover, as it is sparingly soluble
In water, providing lime in a soluble
form for the plants.

Minister Conger Protests.

Pekin, China.-Minister Conger has
sent a note to Prince Ching, the Grand
Secretary, protesting against two feat
ures of Russia's proposed Manchurian
agreement, which are considered par
ticularly a~ntagonistic to American in
terests. The note objects to China
promising not to open more towns to
foreign trade because negotiations are
progressing in connection with the
American commercial treaty for the
opening of Mukden and Taku-Shan,
and it objects to promising that the for
eign employees in China shall only be
Russians. The United States with
holds expression regarding the other
demands, but is prepared to insist on
her treaty rights if attractions occur.

VI course, the poultry houses proper

has not before been permanently occu-
pied by chicks. The chicks raised on
the new ground will be much healthier

OPPOSES MANCHURIAN POLICY

Muscovite Ministry Reminded OF Its As.
surances That the Integrity of Chins
and Open Door Policy would BE Pre-
served-Ambassador Cassint, Though
III, Has Conference with Secretary Hay
Washington. D. C.-Russia's demands
In Manchuria and their effect on Amer.
lean interests were the subject Of a con.
ference between Secretary Hay and
Count Cassini, the Russian Ambassa<
dor, which occurred at Secretary Hays
house and lasted for nearly an hour.
1t is denied that the Ambassador
brought official advices from his Gov
eminent, but the fact that he is still
suffering from an attack Of lumbago,
which has confined him to the EN-
bassy for several weeks, is evidence of
the urgency of the call.
Steps already have been taken by
the State Department to ascertain the
true inwardness Of Russia's latest
move. Ambassador Mccormick, at st.
Petersburg, has been instructed by
cable to present to the Russian Foreign
Office a note which, while diplomatic
ally known as one of inquiry, is in SUBJ
stance a strong protest against Rus
sia's demands.
Gable instructions have also been
sent to Minister Conger, at Pekin, to
express to the Chinese authorities the
dissatisfaction of the United States
with Russia's demands, and our hope
that China will not accede to them.
No answers have yet been received to
either note, though unofficial assur-
that American interests in Manchuria
will be protected.
In the Departments note, forwarded
to Ambassador Mccormick, Russia's
attention is called to the assurances
which repeatedly have been given the
United States relative to the preserva-
ton of the integrity of China and the
continuance of the open door policy.
Russia also is reminded Of the severe
blow to American trade which must
follow the granting Of the first two de-
mands, that no more ports or towns in
Manchuria be opened, and that no adj
ditional foreign consuls be admitted.
Russia's reason for ~contending for the
closed door in Manchuria is the claim
that the open door there is not a com
mercial but a political question. She
continues to assure the United States
that in some way this country's inter-
ests will be protected In Manchuria.
The point is made u4at as the Manchu-
rian demands are still in negotiation
between st. Petersburg and Pekin. the
United States cannot expect that Rus
STA make concessions until the fate of
her demands has been determined.
When China has acceded to all of these
demands, it is suggested that a trade
agreement of some sort can be reached
between this country and Russia which
will protect our trade interests.
Approaching the fact that the inter-
ests of this country in Manchuria are
those OF trade and not territory, Rus
STA. 1t is stated. is disposed to make
certain trade concessions to the United
States in Manchuria at the proper
time.

Russia's Denial.

St. Petersburg, Russia.-Russia sur
veys with undisturbed equanimity the
tempest that has been aroused owe the
Cars attitude in Manchuria, and the
Foreign Office has entered a plausible
denial Of the intention attributed to it
of renouncing the .~open-door" policy.
In fact, when the Pekin dispatches Of
April %, setting forth the eight de-
mands said to have been made by Rus
STA IN China regarding Manchuria,
were shown, the officials entered a bold
denial of several of the points, and min
imized the Importance of others.

Killed by Falling ON Knife.

The ten-year-old daughter of a far
mer living near Belyidere, in company
with four other girls of her own age,
went to the open pasture lots to gather
dandelions. The girl started to run
away when she heard a peculiar noise
In the woods; in running she stumbled
and fell, dashing the blade of a knife
which she carried into her heart, caus-
ing instant death. The noise was sup
posed to have been made by a squirrel.
Her companions, who were too fright
ened to stop, ran home and informed
their parents Of the accident. The child
was carried home.
