French army.
Like many another historic story
the turning point is hinged upon a
trifle and it is worth the re-telling
for the sake of the old, old truth-he
who commits a crime always leaves
a trail.
The Dreyfus trial turned upon the
date of telegram. Was it sent on
April LIST, 1891, or March |, 1885? If
it was sent on the former date Drey-
fus was guilty of imparting impor-

it was treason. If it was sent March
|, 1895 it was not secret and of nc
import. What was the date of the
telegram?
When the conspiracy was finally
unraveled it was in evidence that
Col. Henry had changed the date.
And here was the evidence that led
to the discovery:
The telegram contained reference
to the ''31st of the current month"
Now as everyone knows March has

GREAT IN WAR, GREAT IN
PEACE.

In the death of General John B.
Gordon the country has lost its most
conspicuous pacifier-the man who
has done, perhaps, more than any
other single citizen to heal the sec
tional sores occasiOned by the civil
war.
As Confederate general in the
great battles of 40 years ago he COM
manded the love and admiration OF
his people for his conspicuous brave
ry in the field.
When the war was over and peace
was declared he was one of the first,
if not the first, at AppomattoX, to
urge upon his soldiers the beating
of ''their swords into plOughshares
and their spears into pruning
hooks
His name will ever be conspicuous
~ linked with the bloody battles OF
Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Sharps-
burg, ChancelIorville, Gettysburg,
the Wilderness fights, Spottsylvania,
Monocacy, Fishers Hill, Cedar
Creek, Fort Steadway, and Apo
mattOX. He won his way from a
captancy to the rank of lieutenant
general by reason of his dash and
bravery.
1t was for his deeds at Spottsylva-
mia, May u, 1864, where he won his
bio )dv duel with Hancock, that he
was made major general. Hancock s
advance on the Confederate line was
met with counter charge so terrific
so irresistible in its impetuOslty that
it has few if any parallels in the
worlds history. 1t saved Lees
army. Spottsylvania was muzzle
to breast battle and the men fought
with feet wet with the blood OF
fallen comrades. 1t was there that
Gordon was baptized anew. and
given the name of 1.-The man of the
Twelfth of May"
After the surrender he told his
men to go home, work to rebuild
their desOlated homes, abide by the
laws and live in peace.
Since the war he has served his
native state of Georgia twice ms gov
ernor, and three times as United
States Senator. He retired from the
senate in 1896.
Since that time he has performed
his greatest work. He became Il
great apostle of II united country.
He was an orator and writer and he
devoted his superior talents in these
lines to the work of reconciliation
He was loved in all sections of our
common country.
The Atlanta Journal in summing
up his achievements says:
Ills services for his people are toe
great to be estimated. The love they
bear him is in response to that which
he gave them. Their sense of loss
is the greater because God seldom
sends Il Gordon to any people. lie

ABOUT IRISH POTATOES.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 81

The soil adaptations of this crop
vary materially with locality. The
reason is chiefly because locality
controls the time for growing pOta-
toes, or season during which they
are in the ground, and this necessa-
riIy influences the kind of soil best
adapted to the crop. 1t is therefore
natural that in the north the great
market crop of Irish potatoes is
made mostly on light warm sandy
loan soils. In the south, on the
other hand, the crop is chiefly pro-
duced on heavy bottom, or fiat
woods lands. The reasons for this
different soil adaptation, are almost
entirely climatic, and are based on
water supply. With us April and
May are usually the driest months
Of the year. This is the making and
ripening season for the potato. II
,he May drought" catches the crop
still immature it may easily shrink
one half in yield, and even more
than this in quality. Hence the ad-
vantage of growing the southern
crop on lands least subject to this
contingency.
Locality also eXerts controlling
influence on the matter of variety.
There can be no doubt that the best
market potato for the south Is the
Rose No. 1. Carman No. and Bliss
Triumph are the other commenda-
BILE potatoes. The question of seed,
whole or cut, and size of cut or mum
Der of eyes, is one on which growers
should be more united, since the ac-
tual facts have been positively dem
onstrated so often that repetition. or
ignorance, would seem to be equally
out of place.
1t is not the number of eyes, but
the size of the seed piece, which eX-
rrts the important influence. Cut
whole potatoes, such us would be
mark eted to advantage, are the kind
for seed. They should be cut, and
the size of the piece, irrespective OF
number of eyes, should be carefully
regulated.
The seed is the food supply of the
Young plant before it is provided
with roots able to feed from the soil.
Sufiiciency of the supply thus de-
manded, is The basis of later normal
growth and satisfactory yield. En-

result from seed pieces between a
and l = ounces in weight. The bud
end may often have more eyes than
should be allowed to grow. Such
supernuous eyes should be destroyed
with the knife.
Time of planting will of course de-
pend on locality. Three months
must be allowed for the growing of
the crop. In sections subject to
drought this period should expire
before the dry season begins. Fur
Their than this it is only possible t.
insist that the earlier the crop is in
the market the more satisfactory will
be the returns. The earliest plant
ing compatible with safety is that to
be commended.
The previous crop eNerts much in
fluence on the potato. 1t is best

legume. Cowpeas, b!eggar weed and

proper physical condition of the soil,

other plant foods.
Condition of the soil must of
course control the total fertilizer APP
plication which will be profitable.
1.-The proportions of the different in
gradients found most satisfactory
are defined within comparatively
narrow variations. An application
of 1000 lbs. per acre may be taken as
representing the average of really
successful crops. This quantity
would represent the minimum
where potato growing on the same
land is regularly followed at short
| intervals, and double this applica-
ton is one good growers often use.
It's proportions should be: Phos-
phoric acid 3la per cent. Nitrogen,
3 and Potash per cent. The nitro
gen should at least one half come in
! the form of a mineral nitrate, nj
trate of soda being the best. tt
potash should be in the form of the
| sulphate. On this basis commend
able application would be: 800 lbs,
acid phosphate; 800 lbs. cottOnseC d
meal; 100 lbs. nitrate of soda; and
800 lbs. of sulphate of potash-mag-
nesia.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
What is the fertilizing value of the
ashes from the slab pit of hard
wood mill? These ashes are of
course exposed to rains and must be
classed as leach' d, tho probably
they still contain about half of their
original potash. An estimate OF 3 POI
cent of actual potash would be APP
proXimately correct, On this basis,
with the present price of muriate of
potash as an example of the market
value of potash, $4,000 per ton being
its present quotation, the ashes you
mention are worth only ~ rs per ton.
You will easily see that you could
not afford to pay freight, or haul
very far.
Is lime of any fertilizing value in
Orange groves? 1t may be safely as
stunned that any soil adapted to
orange culture already contains
sufficient lime for all the demands
of the tree. 1t is an established
fact, however, that applications of
lime have resulted in the production
of an orange with thinner skin than
before. On this fact many growers
have recommended the use OF lime.
There is a practical fact, however,
which these advocates entirely over
look. Practically all groves are
fertilized with commercial fertilizers
containing available phosphoric
acid. This is always made availa-
= BILE, whatever its source, by treat
, ment with sulphuric acid. One of
the absolutely inevitable chemical
results is a combination of part OF
this acid with part of the lime al
ways present with the phosphOric
| acid. The result is the making of
sulphate of lime. Every phosphate
on the market containing available
phosphoric acid inevitably contain S
as much sulphate of lime, gypsum,
: as of phosphate of lime, for which il
is used. The grower is therefore al
ways applying lime, inadvertently,
but necessarily, so there is no eX-
cuse for his purchasing and applying
lime separately, whatever may be
! the effect of the action of lim2 on
oranges.
