FARM MANURE.
Exhausting Soil Fertility by Contin-
nous Grain GrowinE.

ExhausfinE Soil Fertility by Contin@
nous Grain GrowinE.
BY CHARLES u. THoRNE. Ohio cxpcr-
iment station.
AS the cereal crops approach matur-
ity there is partial separation OF their
chemical constituents, the nitrogen and
phosphorus accommodating in the grain
until about three-fourths OF that held
by the entire plant is found there,
while the straw. or slower, contains the
major portion OF the potassium; hence
when the grain Is sold 1t carries away
from the farm an undue proportion of
phosphorus and nitrogen, and there
will In time result deficiency OF these
elements in the soil as compared with
potassium unless the supply of this
also Is reduced by the selling or hay
and straw Or Of lcafy plants. such as
tobacco. RI mixed farming be prac-
ticed. including the growing and fat
tening Of live stock, most Of the potas-
Stun will be retained on the farm, but
there will still be d heavy loss Of phos-
phorus in that carried away In the
bones Of animals grown on the farm.
III early Ohio practice wheat was
grown and sold off the farm, while
corn and hay were fed to live stock.
In recent years, however, less I've
stock has been kept and more grain
sold, together with much hay and
straw. The result Is that there are
few soils in Ohio in which the need OF
phosphorus is not becoming manifest,
while some are also beginning to show
deficiency in potassium. The nitrogen
supply also Is generally more or less
deficient.
Farm Manure Plus Phosphorus.
a ton OF average mixed farm manure
as, taken from open barnyards may
be expected 10 contain nine pounds OF
nitrogen, ten of potassium and three
or four OF phosphorus. Under average
conditions Ohio soils would seem to re-
quirc more phosphorus in proportion
to nitrogen and potassium than that
contained in manure, and In 1897 an
experiment was begun at this station
in the reinforcement OF manure with
phosphorus, the materials used for His
purpose being the finely ground phos-
plate rock. known as floats, from
which acid phosphate Is made, and
acid phosphate itself
From the results II would seem that
the nitrogen and potassium Of the
manure, when that has been re-en-
forced with phosphorus. have been
fully as effective, pound for pound, as
the same elements carried IN sodium
nitrate and potassium chloride and
after land has been brought up 10 an
average yield OF fifty-seven bushels OF
corn and nearly eighteen OF wheat per
acre with stable manure a further and
profitable Increase may be made by
the addition Of carrier OF phosphorus.

THE NEGRO NORTH AND SOUTH

-
Every demonstration against the ne
gro which takes place at the north Is
additional evidence OF the fact that
the best place for the brother in
black is among the people with whom
he has lived for many generations.
The southern white man is the best
friend the negro has and the latter
will receive better treatment from him
than from any other person. We do
not claim that the negro always gets
justice from the white man of the
south. There are times when he is
badly treated, but on the whole ne
stands a better chance with the south
erner than with the people of the
north. There Is no hostility here
against the race, as is so often to be
found at the north. Here the negro
who behaves himself, who respects
himself and has respect for his neigh
bors, Is treated with respect and is
given an even chance with all The
white people to make a living. The
color of his skin is not to his disad-
vantage. He ear work in any calling
in which he is qualified. There is 10
ostracism. When n of that ace mis-
behaves-commits the most heinous
crime-there is aroused no luminosity
against his race because of that crime.
The offender alone is sought out and
punished. The others of his race are
as safe as are the white people in the
community. This is not the case at
the north in those cities and commun-
tiles where negroes have colonized as
has been so often demonstrated, the
latest instance being the recent occur
ances in Springfield, Ohio, where there
has been a determined effort to drive
all the negroes out of the city and to
destroy all the property owned by
them. There the mob made no differ
between the innocent and the
guilty. The ~law-abiding, peaceful ne
gro was as much the object of attack
was the most violent and vicious
in all the city. The fact that one was
a negro was enough to put the mob
against him. Nothing of that kind
ever occurs at the south. Here the ne
gro has his place as he has at the
north, and so long as he keeps that
place he is respected and protected in
his rights. This cannot be said for the
negro in the north.

Curiosity in Men and Women.

Women, it is true, are persistentIy
and ~assiduously curious, but men aiso
are not only persitently and assldu-
ously but p%artiently and Systematically
curious. It is the character of female
curiosity hat makes it apparently con-
temptible. Scientific men of every char-
acter have no raison d'etre for their
infinitely patient research save pure
curiosity alone, and their curiosity mas
no more purpose in it than has the GU
riosity of the oma who can not rest
until she finds out all discoverable
facts about her neighbors or the aus
Of q mysterious sound by night. These
two forms of curiosity, the male and
the female originated no u in the
early needs of the race long before
men appeared on the earth. The male
animal is interested in the causes OF
remote things-things which, upon be-
ing run down, might turn out useful
for food The female is in
terested in the quick investigation OF
near and small things which may turn
out a n to the lives of her young.

We hope some good will come Of the
recent uniform divorce congress which
was held in Washington, but We are
afraid that small results can be ex-
pected. While we are not ready
to say that we advocate a nat
ionai divorce Iaw-that is that the
federal government be given control of
the matter of regulating marriage and
divorce-we are inclined to the opin-
ion that in no other way can there
be any thing like uniformity in The
laws Of the country on these subjects.
From a commercial point of view--to
say nothing of the moral-it is very
that there should be more
uniformity in the laws of the several
states in regard to marriage and di-
vorce.

AN Assured PROPOSITION.

The News and Observer says "all
postmasters ought to be elected by the
people they serve" Now we would
like to know how you would do this.
For example take the postmaster at
Wilmington; suppose this office was
made elective and all persons who are
served by this office were given the
right to vote for the postmaster. How
would the polls be opened. Our very
clever and efficient postmaster, Mr..
Wallace, serves" people in every civil
liZed country on the face Of the earth.
To secure the ballots Of people whom
this office serves an election would
have to be held in all parts of tie
world-from Alaska to Australia. 1t
would be the same as to every other
postmaster in the United States. Will
heard in the election Of the pOstmas-
ter of New York and of San Francisco
because there are people among her
citizens who are served by the post
masters of these towns. Was there
ever a more absurd proposition made
than that Of The News and Observer
that "all p~ostmasters ought to be
elected by the people they are to
serve We do not believe the editor
of that paper believes any such thing
We believe he is too sensible a man to
really advocate any such absurd prop
osition. When he made that declara-
ton he was simply talking for bun
combe, thinking he would gain some
cheap popularity by an apparent stand
ing up for the rights of the people.
Such play for popularity as that is too
apparent. The people car see through
it. None can be fooled by such talk.
We have more respect for the average
man than to think that he can be
fooled by such stuff.

In the Philadelphia Record of Feb
ruaTy 9th We notice a call for a mass
meeting to be held on the following
night, for the purpose of demanding
constitutional government that will
protect black as well as white people
in all the states of the union" Sew
eral speakers of both races are an
nounced. Among them appears the
name of George H. White, recorded as
congressman of North Carolina. That
individual left this state several years
ago-certainly long enough for him to
lose his citizenship, and the state has
not suffered greatly by his hurried de-
parture.

The @essenger.
MR.. ~BLACKBURN's POSITION.

When Senators Mitchell and Burton
and Congressman Herman and VIII
hanson were indicted for offenses
somewhat similar to those with which
Mr.. Blackburn stands charged by a
grand jury they withdrew from the
floor of the houses of congress and took
no part in the proceedings of that
body and also refrained from taking
part in the appointment of men to
office in their districts and states. But
Mr.. Blackburn has not seen fit to pur-
sue the same course. He claims the
right and privilege to control the pa
tronage of his district and to have a
word to say as to the appointment of
all federal officials in the state. One
would suppose that under the circum-
stances Mr.. Blackburn would feel a
delicacy in taking an active part in
the management of the politics OF the
state; that he would prefer to take a
back seat until the jury in the federal
court had passed upon the question OF
his guilt or innocence. But it seems
that he does not take this view of the
case: that he is not willing to give up
Il single privilege that is due to a con-
gresham in good standing. He IS in
the fight with the HOlton wing Of the
party and hi is not going to let such
a little thing as an indictment in the
federal court deter him from exercising
his rights as a congressman. his
chief duties as representative of the
Eighth district Of this state are to look
after the appointment of men OF his
mined to do his duty as congressman
in this respect. 1t is strange that the
president should continue to receive
recommendations from him. We do
not See why he should do so. 1t is not
in keeping with his past conduct. we
would look, rather, to see him turn the
cold shoulder to Mr.. Blackburn and
tell him to wait until he had cleared
his w skirts before undertaking to
endorse the character Of others as ap-
plicants for presidential favors. we
are in hope that the president will tell
Mr.. Blackburn that he cannot afford o
act on any of his endorsements until
the jury has cleared him of the charges
made against him by the grand jury.

WAY of Royalty in Burma.

Gazette, that King Thebaw had learn

had been in a mission school in thai
town which happened in h following
His father inspected the school and
expressed his satisfaction. To him the
missionary said:
If your majesty would really en-
courage us, YOU would send one OF
your sons to our school,"
Certainly, rejoined the afable
monarch. What 6 should the boy
be?"
About Is, your majesty.
Turning to his Prime Minister, the
King said: Have I a son of about 1872
