Equipment Of Mines.


1t is stated by those who are con.
versant with the facts that the Navy
Department has some important plans
under consideration for the laying OF
mines and the equipment of mine
ships. 1t was desired that Congress
should appropriate about 100000 for
this purpose, but the House did not
include the item in its appropriation
bill. The San Francisco is at present
the only mine-1aying vessel that we
have in our navy; and she will soon
be equipped with complete outfit of
300 mines. However. there are in re.
serve no mines of the type carried by
her, the entire supply of the Ameri.
can Navy being now on that vessel.
Owing to the very extensive use
OF mines in the war between Japan
and Russia, and to the probability that
In any future war they would neces-
sarily play a most important part, it
is deemed necessary that the Navy
Department should at once begin to
provide itself with a reserve supply
Of mines, and should add to that sup
ply every year. It is desired in the
near future to equip another vessel
tor mine-laying, either on the Atlantic
or the Pacific, and for such a badly
needed ship it is regrettable that
there are no mines available. The
$100,0 900 would buy 100 mines, which
by naval experts are considered the
minimum that should be allowed for
any one year.

about $4,000 from an appointive Of

The House Of Representatives after
receiving evidence of his guilt voted
to impeech him on March 2, 1876, but,
Belknap, learning of its action, handed
his resignation that very day to Pres

immediate acceptance. This saved
his neck for after it had been prompt

the roots of the plants getting nitro
gen from the air. Nitrogen as COM
mercial fertilizer is expensive, and
can be gotten from the air. Phos-
phoric acid and potash must be sup
piled, still there is an abundance Of
phosphoric acid In our clay soils but
often not available in sufficient guam
titles for plant growth. If the soil is
out in physical condition and sufi-
cent humus added these elements
usually become available in sufficient
quantities for the plant. The pro.
ducts sold from the farm are coatin-
ually taking away phosphoric acid
and potash. 90 that In time the soil
vii be impoverished for want of these
elements. 1t is therefore a good
plan to add some phosphoric acid and
potash in the form of fertilizers from
year to year, but we must remember
taat commercial fertilizers are not a
cure alr' for poor soils. They have
a place in soil improvements and the
Dest results are only obtained when
the soil is put in the best possible
physical condition. When you uEe a
fertilizer, use high grade.
Now to sum up the whole matter.
let us consider "a few points of soil
improvement. First, get more humus
in the soil. Look we'll to it's mechan-
ical condition. Correct acidity, If
present, by the addition Of lime.
Give attention to the moisture condi-
tons. If phosphoric acid or potash
is deficient, supply in the form of
high grade fertilizer. If nitrogen is
deficient, supply by growing legumi-
nous crops. Feed the crops such as
hay and grain to stock and return the
manure to the farm. Sell products
from the farm that will take away
the minimum amount OF plant food.
such as live stock, fruit, poultry,
eggs, butter, etc. A ION of butter
sold off the farm only takes away
about 40 cents worth of plant food.
Buy such feeds as will produce much
plant food in the manure such as
bran, cotton seed meal, linseed meal,
oats. corn, etc. Practice crop rota-
ton, keep something growing on the
land all the time, always cover
crop in the winter. Keep rolling
lands in grass.
The farmer who practices these
principles will prosper and his lands
will grow richer each year.
