HUYAN-SKW ALL William .J liryan, the brilliant free silver orator of tbo W, st received the nomination fo president at the Democratic National Convention which convened at, Chicago last week. Mr. iiryan has th honor of being the youngest man ever nominated for President of the United States, lie is only one year over tho consti tutional limit. Mr. Bryan is i: Ne braskian and has represented that state twice in Congress. Arthur Hawaii, of Maine, was nominated for Vice Jfhd m a man well equipped for his work. Below we give a few planks of the platform. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both Hirer and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for tho aid or consent of any other nation. We demand that the standard silver dollar ahull he a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts, public aud private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent tor the future the demonetization of any kind of legal lender money by private contract. We aie opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the hold ers of the obligations of the United States tlie option reserved b\ law to the government of redeeming such obligations in either silver coin or gold coin. We are opposed to tho issuing f interest-bearing bonds of U.e United States in time of peace and condemn the trafficking with banking svndi cates which, in exchange for bonds and at an enoi iii > s profit to ttiem selvea.auppiy the federal treasury with gold to maiiuain the policy of gold monomctalisin. Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and l’resident Jackson declared that this power could nut be delegated to corporations or individuals- wt therefore, denounce the i*: ..-ro-i'e of notes intended t* circulate as money by national banks as in irrigation of the constitution and we demand that all paper which is made a legal tender for public and private debts, or which is receivable for dues to the United Slates shall be issued by the government of the United States and shall be redeemable in coin. Recognizing the just claims of de serving union soldiers we heartily in dorse the rule ot the present com missioner of pensions, that no names shall oe aibitrarily dropped from the pension roll and the tact of enlist ment and service should be deemed conclusive evidence against disease and disability before enlistment. We hold that the most efficient way of protecting American labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete with it in the home market, and that the value of the home market t our American farmers and artisans is greatly re duced by a vicious monetary system which depresses the prices of tbeii products below the cost ot production aud thus deprives them of the means of purchasing the products of our home manufactories, and as labor creates the wealth of the country, we demand the passage of such laws as may he necessary to protect it in all its rights. We are opposed t<> life tenure in the public service. Wc favor ap pointments based upon merit, fixed terms of office and such ail adminis tration of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to ail citizens of ascertained fitness. We declare it to be the unwritten law of this republic, established by custom and usage of one hundred years and sanctioned by the ex- m ples of tho greatest and wisest o: those who founded and have main tained ouiwgovernment, that no man should be elligible for a third term for tho presidential office.

Qi;:-TION*. —Can you give ran some idea about applying plant food to dif ferent qualities of land? Of course. I know that no specific rules can be {riven, but in a general way I would like to have some reliable guide, so that when I begin to make my estimates for fertil izers I may not apply certain kind where not needed, or leave off an im portant constituent where most lives sarv. I know that I have waded hun dreds, I may say thousan-l*, of dollar--, by an injudicious use of various phiur. foods which, if properly applied, would have been money in my pix-kot. Kven at this late day I wish, if possible, to ob tain a clearer knowledge of certain prin ciples of which X have been lamentably ignorant. Answer.—lt may bo set down as n general rule, that unless land has a rea sonable amount of humus, no commer cial fertilizer yvill succeed well. This is the one grand mistake that most South ern farmers have made. NYo have sed ulously cultivated most of the humus out of our lands, paid very Jit!b- at tention to rotation of crops or other means for replacing it, and then de pended on commercial fertilizers to <lo tho entire work. Wo should make this question of the needs of dif ferent crops ono of earnest study. 1 hiv ing learned their !•■ ••piircm-.-uts and habits of growth xyo ix-cumo hotter qualified to regulato their relations in onr general farm minagument amltiuu secure ourselves u gainst tho mistake of planting in succession two or more crops on the same land which absorb very much the same amounts, ns well a ton samo qualitiosof plant food. Uv a care ful regulation of this succession of < wo can, in great measure, o mtroi tie constituents in most soils, and also po ttle very best returns fc l ele ments of plant food, which too often, by thoughtless cultivation, arc pro vented from iloing t heir best sty To or allowed to waste altogether. Your quo i tioll is comprehensive, because the not (is of the land are so intimately associated with tho needs of the crops, that we can scarcely discuss one without including tho other. Tho Cornell K.xpprimont Statin') (jives some general rules for applying plant food to the ordinary classes of lauds'of I winch the following arc some of tho ! principal points. Reclaimed low laud, rich in vegetable matt >r. is likely to bo rich iu nitrogen, but del: ient in ph -s --phorio aciil. Well drained highlaud, purticularly on exposed locations, is more likely to bo deli -tout in nit. 'gen , than in phosphoric acid. A small I z'owth ' I' leaf or -mil; if the pli 1 i - favorably develop ?,l, iiulieu'c ; a defleioncy of nitrogen. l-’.>r insf.in •. , : a large yield of plump, bright grain : from a small or moderate sized stalk in I dientes an abundance of pltosph' rie acid and potash in the soil and a lack of ni trogen. On the other hand, a redun dancy of leaf and stalk with a -mall ; light grain, indicates an abundance of ■ nitrogen and an insufficient amount of phosphoric wid and potash. A- a rule, plants having the greatest leaf and, cel- j opment require the most potash. Farm manures that have boon well cared for ' and protected contain about twice as much nitrogen as phosphoric arid, and therefore land that has receiv'd recent liberal applications of barnyard man ures, i, not apt to be deli, tent in mtr, gon. In purchasing commercial fertil izers it is well to remember that high grade goods give morn plant food for the' cost than low grade. Soils that contain an abundance of lime do not need much phosphoric acid, but l quire potash. If the soil i: not rich in lime, acid phosphate is tho b t t formas well as tho cheapest* mv-of phosphoric acid. If cotton is the crop to he grown, the less suin', lo and less expensive brands give as good results, because the plant contilines its growth through along season. But for corn, grain, or any quickly maturing crop, it is important to use the more soluble forms. Nitrogenous fertilisers are ex pensive and are not needed on soils, which produce a good stalk or leaf growth, but if the plants arc weak and small, give them nitrogen. Cottonseed meal and nitrate of soda arc tho best forms for general use. If large amounts of fertilizers are to be used apply broadcast beforep’.auri.tig; if only a limited amount, apply m roe drill, aud run a long, narrow soo :or -la the same furrow, to thoroughly mix the fertilizer with the soil. In tho limits of an article like this xve can only t. ueh on the most important points of this far reaching subject. It is one ever new and ever developing. If, where condi tions are suitable, xve would grow peas tit is not yet too Into to sow them), cut tho hay, turn under the stubble, and before planting, put on our fertilizers, which can bb applied more he :vily be cause of the humus furnished by tlm peas, wo would soon be able to produce more satisfactory and better paying cru|is.
