We all know the importance of the mineral fertilizers in growing clover, and it is quite probable that the cause of so ‘much failure is due to a deficiency of potash and phosphoric acid in the soil immediately after the maturity of the wheat. Farmyard man- â€"‘ wwâ€" _ â€"â€"_ ure contains its nitrogen. potash and phosphoric acid in much the same pro- portions as are required by the wheat crop itself. It stands to reason that if the wheat is not above the average, it has suffered from lack of plant food; such being the case. what fertilizer is left in the soil for the clover which follows? Clover needs no nitrogen fer- tilizer, but it requires as much phos- phoric acid as the wheat. and two or three times asrnuch potash. Farmers will find it pays them to fertilize for their clover. in which case the timothy will look out for itself. The mineral fertilizer can very well be applied in the fall on the wheat. though a top-dressing of seventy-fivet to 1% pounds of muriate of potash per aere in the spring will prove ef- fectual. The acid phosphate can safely be applied in the fall with the fertil- izer for the wheat. A good fertilizer for wheat is. per acre. fifty pounds of dried blood, 300 pounds of acid phosphate, and seventy- five pounds of muriate of potash. to be applied in the fall. In the spring 150 pounds of nitrate of soda should be broadcasted. To insure a good catch of clover. there should be applied in the fall. in addition to the fertilizer for the wheat, 250 pounds of acid phos- phate. In the spring at least 125 pounds of mnriate of potash per acre should be broadcasted. By following this plan all that can be done to in- sure a catch will have been done. and the nitrogen gained by’the clover will be worth twice the cost of the miner- al fertilizer applied for the clover.

Behind each brigade are to be five field hospitals. each with one medical officer and accommodation for twenty-five men. These five field hos- pitals act as one. but are made sec- tional in order that the sections may be detached to follow any battalion that may be acting independently of the brigade. In all these there is ac- commodation for 125 wounded in the field hospitals of each brigade. There is also a senior medical officer with‘ each brigade. Lieut-Col.

These barges are at present engaged in con- veying troops to \Vad Habashiyeh, our place of rendezvous, but as soon as this work is completed they will be cleansed and disinfected and fitted as hospit- als. Other barges will be used for operating purposes. THE ROENTGEN RAYS. Two Roentgen rays apparatuses (which are now here) will be on these barges. Of course, apart from the barges, there will be other hospital acâ€" .commodation on the river bank, and the barges will. if necessary, ply to and from the Atbara camp. Between Khartoum and this place there will be eight lines and communication hospit- als, with 50 beds, having, of course, a medical officer attached to each. Sur- geon-Major Hunter. who, until last year, was attached to the Egyptian army, has charge of these eight hospit- als. Here, at the Atbara, ample and spec- ial accommodation has been provided. A hospital has been built of mud bricks, with walls some three feet lthick, and a lofty roof. the wards be- 'ing ceiled with matting and thickly thatched with Dliurra straw. It is the Soudan. Here 18 accommodation for 200 men, but on so generous a scale that if necessary another fifty or more could be added without any cramping of the inmates. Men reach- ing this hospital get proper hospital clothing and bedding, and have sheets to their beds. Six medical officers are ° charge. There is another base hos- pital lower down the river at Abadeah. l Fifteen miles north of Berber is an- other big mud brick hospital, with ac- ' for 300 men, who will be looked after by eight medical officers. Both hence and from the Atbara camp sick convoys will be made up for the 'desert railway journey.to Halfa, and and at Azssuan, where there are breaks between rail and river, there will be severally a fifty-bed and a twenty-five ’ bed hospital for the accommodation of ' men who need rest after the journey.

Can-' eds. would sooner or later find his way to a deep bay that reaches updrom Lake Erie. It is an attractive stretch of water. famous for its gamfi 1181!. while moose and deer are not distant. Though not known to the treat world. it is a familiar resort for many lov- ers of nature. who find it the central point of aseries of lakes which stretch away for hundreds of miles, inviting the visitor on3 and on into the. heart ;of the great' Canadian forest. But it is not only the game. or‘ the’ beauties of nature that attract at- tention at Grand. Eau. On the edge of the bay at acertain point e man well known to the surrounding country has built adefence in the form of aequare out into the; water. which is here about four feet in depth. Across the inclosure extends another fence, reaching just above the surface. The object of this fence is the source of much speculation to strangers. Some at first think it is acowyard that has been overtaken by the rising water. while others be- lieve; it to be some kind of a fish‘ .trap. One day astranger who had visited Grand Eau in :search 015 the black bass for which the locality is noted. came upon the incloBure‘, late in the after- noon, and, curious, he stopped and be- gan to wonder what it could be. Aft? er examining it well, he walked along I the front until he suddenly saw THE FOLLOWING NOTICE: 8100 REWARDâ€"One hundred doll- ars will be paid to any one who! will lift one of the sturgeons in the pen over the fence into the other side. There was no reason given for this curious announcement, nor was there a house in the vicinity where inquiries could be made regarding it, but a man’s name at the bottom of the pla- card indicated that the reward would be forthcdming it the feat should be accomplished. _ ~ ‘ I 7A-- LL- vvvâ€" -â€"-â€"â€"v â€"- As the stranger glanced from the sign and the inclosure to the land side, where richly wooded hills stood out against the blue sky, he saw aboy ep- proaching, who quickly came at his call.

This seemed an easy way to earn $100, and the stranger, who was an athletic young man from northern New York, determined to earn‘ it. “an “UVV LVL-’ uvvvnâ€"u â€"__ “Just watch my'clothe‘s, will you?" he said to 'the boy, as he slowly began to undress. heme . and lifted.

WITH CHEAP BREAD AND LOW PRICES. European Ian-vest Will be a Good Average â€"l-‘lelrel From the lulu-ell (bu-tries Which ’l‘ell eta Good Prop. The work of computing the wheat crops of the world has commenced in Britain. that great buyer of wheat. and the returns so far available promise a season of plenty. with the accompani- ments of cheap bread and low prices for wheat. One English newspaper publish- es an estimate which bears every evi- dence of care. and the conclusion reached is that a state of affairs will exist which will be paralleled only by the big American crop of 1891. to which the low prices which prevailed for some years were attributed. Taking the average of the last five years, Europe produces 57.22 per cent. of the wheat produced in the world. and the United States and Canada pro- duce another 21 per cent.. so that the harvests now in the reapers' hands ac- count tor over 78 per cent. of the world's wheat. While Europe grows 57.- 22 per cent. of the world's wheat it an- nually consumes over 72 per cent.. and thus has to import some 15 per cent. of the world's wheat grown elsewhere. To put it into bushels, Europe annual- ly produces, on the average of the last five years, 1,405,000,000 bushels of wheat but consumes 1,715,000,000 bushels, and , thus has to buy 310,000,000 bushels, and 1 year on an average. The GOOD PRICES LAST YEAR. were due to the fact that Europe pro- duced only 1,106,000,000 bushels, and so had to buy rather over 600,000,000 bush- els, or double the usual quantity. The harvest of Europe promises. this authority says, to be a good average. In the United Kingdom the crop will age. and is placed by good authorities at 360.000.000 bushels, as compared with 243,000,000 bushels last year, and an. average of 310,000,000 bushels. The“ crops of European Russia are described! as promising to be over the average: the total yield being estimated at quite 400,000,000 bushels. This will be 138.- 000.000 bushels ahead of last year's crop. and 24,000,000 bushels over the average. Austria-Hungary. Italy,Spain and Roumania report crops over the average. and Germany and seven other countries are reported to have craps of good average size. In European Tur- key the crop is doubtful, but this is the only exception in Europe. All told. the indications are that Europe will this year produce about 1.500.000,000 bushels. which will leave a demand for from 220.000.0006 to 250,000,000 bushel- IN THE l'NI'l‘ED STATES. . according to this authority. the wheat crop will be from 580,000,000 bushels to 20,000,000, and in Canada it will be about 70,000,000 bushels, Even if only 600,000,000 bushels were reaped in the two countries, the 250,000,000 bushels which appear to be the limit of Europe's buyings this year will be easily suppli- ed. Anything over that would be a surplus. Since this estimate was compiled dis- mal reports have come of crop failures in Russia. In half a dozen provinces the yield is worthless and' the distress is very acute. There are fifty-one such provinces in Russia, but these six com- prise almost the whole of the great _Volga valley and contain fifteen out of the ninetyâ€"four millions of inhabi- tants of European Russia. The wheat area which they include is probably se- cond only to that centering about Odessa. Should these reports prove to be accurate, the Russian crop would ifall materially below. the unate oi A .__A L‘... till I uuw a f w weeks ago. and in that case then would be less likelihood of overopra duction. In any case. Wever. ('5 world's wheat demands seem certain (.1; be amply supplied. 3!
