THE SUsQUEHANNA BRIDGE.

The annual report of the Phiadel-

road shows that five more piers of the
bridge across the Susquehanna have
been laid in the past year Three more,
making eight in all, have been finish
ed. There are now ten finished piers
OF the thirteen required. The eastern
abutment is finished. and the western.

farmers not inning, nave depended on
the potash in the fertilizer for crop
food, and have unwittingly boarded
the natural available" potash IN their
soils. This accumulated potash is now
on deposit for them in the soil store
house. But the crop can not get it, in
sufficient amount for full growth, I'M
less the supply be unlocked. I
How The Soil Hoards.
1 he soil is a great sponge, which alb
serbs not only water, but materials
out of its saltwater solution, conspi-
cuously potash and phosphates. 1t
holds these so firmly, that they do not
go back into the soil water except in
very small amount and are conse-
quently boarded there. For the grow
ing crop gets only the soil foods pass
ing into the soil water, which it abb
serbs. The soil sponge does not hoard
an indefinite amount of plant foods,
but a maximum amount of each, de-
pending upon two things, its fineness
and its sourness. What is supplied
over and above this maximum is held
so loosely that it passes into the soil
water again easily for the benefit of
the crop. If, therefore, potash and
phosphates are used as fertilizers,
these give up to the soil so much of
each for permanent holding as is re-
CURED to make up this maximum
amount. The surplus goes to the bene-
mt of the immediate crop. This shows
two things: first, why the same ferti-
lizer, used in the same amount for the
same crop, on two soils, may give a
vigorous growth on one and a poor
growth op the other soil. The latter
took nearly all of it to satisfy the alb
sorptive or boarding property of the
soil-sponge. Secondly, that the soil
literally fortified for several years,
holds, for future use. large amount
of available plant food, mainly pot
ash. Some agent must, however, be
employed for unlocking it.

Trading With Lime.

This agent, as Professor Frear says,
is lime. The reaction is not chemical
but physical. 1t does not take place
in definite proportions between lime
and potash, but between lime and the
particular soil and a greater or less
rainfall, as incidental factor. 1t is not
possible to say, therefore, $50 much
cost for lime will supply so much pot
ash left out of the fertilizer" But
you can say, $50 much lime needed to
neutralize my soil will give me enough
potash. if have not wasted the hoard
in previous years by overliming." The
wise farmer will insist that the county
agent carry soil tester and tell him
how much lime to use. For if he
lines by guess, he may lime too much,
wasting money for lime and driving
more potash out of the soil than the
immediate crop needs. Again, the
lime used by custom alone, and there
fore by guess, may be too little for his
soil. In this case he falls short, in the
trade, of potash release. This is the
logic of what prompts Professor Frear
to say, as a result of his experience,
"The saving of lime bills alone, would
doubtless many times repay the cost
of study of the lime requirements of
acid soils"

Spain with his wife, an English boxing
trainer and n colored boxer. and took
suite Of rooms at a palatlal hotel. He at
tempted to book passage for Brazil, but
learned that he was not permitted to leave
Spain without passport. The American
Embassy refused to issue him passport
under instructions from washington because
he fled from Chicago during his prosecu-
tion for white slavery.
Making the best of hrs plight, Johnson
went to Barcelona and staged prize fight
between himself and another negro. But

soon ran out and he Is having a hard time
