Rertilizing Sweet Potatoes

The sweet potato growers Of Glouces
ter county. N j., raise the crop mainly
on commercial fertilizers. The genera
practice is to use 1000 pounds per acre,
though some apply more. Mr.. I. HurH
Weatberby, an extensive grower, uses
1900 pounds per acre when manure il
hot used. Of this. 1000 pounds per
acre is broadcasted and the balance seat
tered 10 the drills and well mixed With
the soil before ridging.
Farm manure is used in part by some
growers, but the old method Of putting
manure in the furroW and ridging over
il has been abandoned, and manure il
now spread broadcast and fertilizer ap
piled in the drill This is a great saving
Of labor and the crop is just as good or
even better, as the potatoes are not dis
cOlored
Although it is still customary TO ap-
ply along the drills, when fertilizers are
used exclusively, yet fertilizers are be-
ing brohdcasted more and more. Ridges
are only 30 or 80 inches apart and in
Tidging up, the soil between the ridges
is almost entirely brought into ridge,
and consequently the broadcasted fer
iilizer is in the ridge also, bat thor
oughly mixed through it instead Of be-
ing at the bottom.
In Swedesboro the sweet potato crop
is by far the most important grown,
several thousand acres being devo'ed TO
the crop annually. Single fields Of 20
or 30 acres are not uncommon. The
consumption Of fertilizers is enormous
Fertilizers are factory mixtures and the
faVOrite analysis is 2 per cent nitrogen,
8 per cent available phospboric acid
and 10 per cent potash, costing $50 u
$50 per ton.

Treatmen. of Colt and Mother.

If the colt is to grow into the most
useful horse be should be kept in good
growing condition from birth until ma
turity. Good growing condition does
not necessarily mean fat, but does mean
good flesh. II the pasture is short or
the dam poor sucker or for some other
reason the colt is not in good Hesh, be
should be fed and got into thriving con :
dition before weaving. BE should have
plenty Of fresh air and exercise at all
times and with good food and projected
from harm the owner has done about all
that be can do.
At weaving time i. is advisable TO
keep the young animal in q tight box
stall, as be is likely TO do some desper-
ate thing which may injure hin, when
excited. He should be broken 70 halter
and lead at this time il be has not been
before. After be has become aecus-
toned TO doing without his mother be
may be turned into the pasture again
with companions The pasture should
always be fenced with boards or woven
wire and never barb wire, as the chances
for injury are too great.
After weaving, the colt should receive
some grain daily during the fall and
winter months. Too often do We see
this neglected at the most important and
critical time in the colts life. 1t is at
. period in life when growth should not
be stunted and when the mouth Of the
colt is not well adapted to chewing and
mAsticating large amounts of course
rough food which would be necessary
for maintenance and growth without the
addition Of grain. If a rye pasture can
be had TO furnish green feed so much
the better
II the colt is too young TO vean and

care Of the mare should be that which

one of the board to investigate the North
Sea affair. What this country has to
do with the trouble incident to the al
tack on English fishing boats by the
Russian fleet is hard to see, and why il
is necessary to have representative from

picking to most people. The country will
naturally be placed in a position where
it is sure to offend either Russia or Great
Britain. The North Sea is several thou
sand miles from the United States. No
vessels belonging to this country were
molesled; hence we have nothing to do
with the issue between the two European

DECISION IN BOYCOTT CASE.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States yesterday affirmed the decision OF
the Supreme Court of the State of Wis
consin in the newspaper boycott case
arising from the alleged business combi-
nation OF the Sentinel, heNews and the
Evening Wisconsin, all published at
Milwaukee, against the Journal, OF that
city, affecting advertising rates. The
opinion was delivered by Justice Holmes
and upheld the validity Of the Wisconsin
antitrust law, 50 far as it applied to this
case.
The case came before the Supreme
Court on writs of error to set aside con-
victions and sentences of A. J. Aikens,
Albert Huegin and NJ. A. HOyt, pub
fishers of the three newspapers 10 the
combination. The ground of the writs
is that the proceedings violated the
rights of the plaintiffs in error under
the fourteenth amendment of the con-
stitution of the United States. The in
formations were brought under the Wis
consin statutes of 1898, which impose
imprisonment or fine on "any two or
more persons who shall combine for the
purpose of wil(ully or maliciously in
juring another in his reputation, trade,
business or profession by any means
whatever" etc. The plaintiffs in error
were severally charged with unlawfully
combining together with the intent of
wifully and maliciously injuriDg the
Journal Company by agreeing as fol-
lows:
II any person should agree to pay the
increased advertising rate charged by
the Journal Company, then he should
not be permitted to advertise in any Of
the other three newspapers except at a
corresponding increase of rate; but If
be should refuse to pay the Journal
Company the increased rate, then he
should be allowed to advertise in any
of the other three papers at the rate
previously charged. 1t was alleged that
this conspiracy was carried out, and
that much damage to the business OF
the Journal Company ensued. Con-
strung the statute of Justice Holmes
said
ave interpret 'maliciously injuring' to
import doing a harm malevolently for
the sake of the harm as an end in it.
self, and not merely as means Of
some further end legitimately desired.
Otherwise the phrase would be tautol-
ogous, since wilful injury is malicious
in the sense familiar to declarations and
indictments, where, Indeed, the word
means no more than foreseen, or even
less than that"
With reference to the coDstitutionslity
of the statute he said:
"There is no anomaly in a statute
which Furnishes combination such as
is charged here. 1t has been held that
even the free use of land by a single
owner for purely malevolent purposes
may be restricted constitutionally, al
though the only immediate injury is 10
a neighboring landowner. Whether
this decision was right or not, when it
comes to the freedom of the individual
malicious mischief is familiar and pro-
per subject for legislative repression.
Still more are combinations for the pur-
pose of INJECTING it. 1t would be i'm
possible to hold that the liberty to COM
bine to inAict such mischief, even upon
such intangibles as business or reputa-
ton, was among the rights which the
fourteenth amendment was intended to
preserve"

Monld Contest the Election.

New York. Nov S--There is scarce-
" doubt that if President Roosevelt is
defeated today he will contest the election.
There is positive ground tor the assertion
that should Judge Parker be elected on
the face of the returns it is the intention
of Mr.. Roosevelt to carry the case to
Congress, and, probably the courts, even
tually, and thus create something like
parallel of the TildeD Hayes situation.
1t has been learned that Mr.. Roosevelt
has said that if the democratic national
ticket should receive prima facie MAORI
ty in the electoral college, he will dispute
the result by raising the question of the
constitutionalty OF the election as held
in many of the southern States. 1t
will be contended that in those States
which have adopted new constitutions
in recent years, the election was not
held in accordance with the federal con-
stituton, owing to the exclusion OF
practically all negroes from the elector-
ate. On this ground the election held
in every State of the South, save Florida,
Georgia and Texas, could be contested.
The President has said privately that
the Supreme Court of the United States
has never passed directly upon the ques-
ton of the consttutionality of the pro-
visions of the constitutions of the States
which have sought to eliminate the ne
gro from the electorate. There are many
southern lawyers who take the same
view.
