"The above represents au ammoniated
fertilizer- The moisture and organic
matter are necessary to accompany the
material furnishing the nitrogen (or am¬
monia)- Nitrogen is a gas and must be
held in combination, and considerable
bulk is necessary, depending on the kind
of material used. Lime must, be present
combined with phosphoric acid, and sul¬
phate of lime is derived from the union
of sulphuric acid added to the phosphate
of lime to make it more soluble. The
chemical salts are generally combined
with the potash. The silica is found
with the phosphate.
“Au acid phosphate is made up of
phosphoric acid, combined with sulphate
of lime (the largest constituent), neces¬

Strawberries vs. Potash.
Question. —I planted au acre of straw
dierv plants last spring on a freshly
cleared up pioce of ground. The dry
year lias retarded the growth of the
plants very materially, except where I
had burnt- the trash heaps in clearing
up. Oa these spots the plants are as
vigorous as in a favorable season. Did
the potash in the ashes cause the
ous growth? What percent of potash
IKSutaS'SkSl
per ton ?
Answeb. The potash in the ashes
uudoubtedly caused the fine growth of
the strawberry plants, which being ren¬
dered more vigorous than those not on
the ash piles, sent their roots deeper and
farther in search of food and moisture,
and so when drouth came they wero
in better condition to retain their vigor,
and resist tho cSfeeta of dry weather.
There is usually from 3 to 8 per
cent of potash in the ashes from
burnt tan b.u-k (of course I mean uu
spent bark), and they are worth from $4
to$8 per ton, according to their purity
and freedom from sand and other foreign
substances. I will give yon another
reason for the plants growing as you
describe. When you burned the trash
heaps, the heat killed all the seeds of
pass and weeds in the ground under
the fire, and when your strawberry
plants were set out their growth was
never retarded by grass and weeds, as

Gleucoe, O', Sept. 24, 1896,
To the Editor of the Pittsburg
Post:
The Democratic National
Committee at Chicago recently
gave out a report through the
columns of the Post that Bryan
had a possibility of carrying 36
States, with324electorial votes .

through a certain circling pro
cess, with periods and dates on

to take place, then likewise
political and religious bodies
to some extent are governed'by
stated periods or dates, to which
certain revolutions or changes
shall take place within. Now
let us see what transformation
the figure 3 as a period of date
may reveal. We find that
there are 45 States in the union,
which number is divisible by 3,
And the question before iho
American people is ‘Free Silver,
November 3, 1896.’ Now let
us see what letters and figures
tell us. By counting tho let¬
ters in ‘ free silver
and ‘November’ wo find
there are 18 with the date ‘3’
and ‘1896,’ added together,
give us 45, providing the fact of
there being that many States.
We have placed as standard
bearers one pledged to‘unlimit¬
ed coinage’ and the other to
‘gold standard.’ Now, wo find
the letters required to spell the
name of Williau Jennings Bry¬
an to be 20; in ‘unlimited
coinage,’ to which he is pledged,
there are 16, making a total of
36. While in the name of Wil
liam McKinley it requires 15
letters; ‘gold standard.’ to
which he is pledged, takes 12
more, making a total of 27, or
a difierence of 9 to compete
with Bryan’s amount. Let us
takothe-27’ composing McKin¬
ley’s name and ‘standard,’ and
the ‘36’ composing Bryan’s
name and ‘standard,’ with the
‘45’ composing the number of
States, and divide each quotient
by ‘3,’ the date of period of
election, and we find the result
is ‘9,’ ‘12,’ and ‘15.’ Added
to-gether gives us‘36/ the age
of Mr. Bayan. who has by this
two chances of carrying 36
States.
Now‘ to futher prove the
amount of electors comprised
in these 36 States, we multiply
by 9 the number of States al
lotted toMcKinloy,which proves

The following from the New
York Journal, on the betting in
this campaign, throws a new
light on the situation •
“A Washington dispatch in
the Evening I’ost attempts to
throw ridicule on the reasons
why Mr. Bryan’s supporters
expect to win in the present
campaign. It is alleged that
one of those reasons is the con
dition of the betting. As rt
matter of fact, the betting does
not signify any tiling at all,
except that the men who are
backing Mr, McKinley have
more money to risk than those
