Irreverence. We have bad some wort ol religious performance 011 our streets several times of late. Some of the slnglDg has been very good indeed, and such as would draw an assemblage of the ourlous. A very large part of the talks consisted In telling how bad the speaker used to be and how good and happy he !a now. It seems that the whole was Intended to Instill a religious sentiment Into the hearers. For this reason, we presume It Is, the police have not arrested him for Irrevereol and frequent use of the name of the Kuler of the universe. He, like some preachers, used his profanity ' F.m thin rnnHon It In lur reiiK>"U3 fui ><uocn. ? ? ? ? presumed the police did not. Interfere wltb the performance. As a rule profanity Is noi tolerated on the public Fquare. If we want to hear profanity we must seek other place*. The prevailing sin of this country seems to be prefanliy or a violation of that command which foi bids the Irreverent use of the name of the Author of our being. If the average laymnnshould be required to testify, would he not say that In our pulpits and In our religious newspapers, Instead of being taught reverence for the Name, we are too often shown examples as to how easily the Name may be used flippantly? Our testimony would be Ibat we sometimes, in half hou>, bear more profanity from the pulpit on Sunday morning thau we hear on the streets In year. To Counect Seaboard and Southern.

The Washington Post Bays: "80 far as we know, the only Democratic paper id the South tbal lavortd ibe ship subsidy bill, wblcb failed to pass the Fifty-ninth Congress, was the Greenville News." If tbe Press and Banner Is big cnongb to be ooonted, the Washington Post may put this paper down as unqualifiedly In favor of tbe aforementioned ship subsidy. We are not only in favor of tbe subsidy, bat we are In favor ol tbe existing tariff. We would not for any consideration do anything to disturb tbe pro?p?rlty of tbe country. This editor Is a Democrat and exp<cts to vote that ticket as long as he lives, but be hopes the country will be saved from any i similar calamity as that wblcb Cleveland inflicted upon this country. Under bis rule cotton went down to 4,8 and 6 ceuts. We want to see a Democratlo administration, bat we want tbe party oo act with a modicum of common sense. People Tbat We <ould spare.

FERTILIZING THE CROP. The primary object in using fertilizer is to produce a larger yield of the crop that Is to be Immediately grown, or is already growing, on the land to which the fertilizer is to be applied. As a rule, it contains from* ten to sixteen per cent, of more or less promptly available plant food. In other words, a commercial fertilizer contains in every hundred pounds weight from 10 to 16 pounds of available phosphoric acid, either alone, or that amount of phosphoric acid and potash combined, or of these two and nitrogen combined, making tn the latter case, what is called a "complete" fertilizer. Now, this 10 to 16 pounds in each 100 pounds of the fertilizer is supposed to be, and should be, practically soluble and available at once, or within a week or two, for the use of the crop, says VirginiaCarolina Fertilizer Almanac. The remaining portion of the fertilizer, or the 84 to 90 pounds in each 100 pounds, i fa a mfY+iirA r?f incnhihlp nhncnhnto onrl sulphate of lime, some sand, water, organic matter and other things that are necessarily incident to the manufacture, and cannot be economically removed. They are of very little immediate value to either the crop or the soil. So when we apply a high-grade fertilizer to the soil the object is to supply the plants with soluble plant food and increase the yield of the cotton, grain, grass, or whatever the crop may be. Incidentally, however, this fertilizer does help the land, because it induces a larger growth of stalk, roots and foliage of the plants?or those parts that will be returned to, and become part of the soil. A dose of this fertilizer, for instance, not only increases the yield of seed cotton, but also the size of the stalks, the foliage, hulls and other parts that go immediately back and form a part of the soil in the shape of humus (decayed vegetable matter). But the principal way to improve the soil Itself, is to add vegetable matter to it in the form of stable manure, renovating crops, rotation of crops, etc.. in a more direct n.anner. It would seem manifest, then, if we wish to increase the yield of corn, cotton, wheat, oats, grass, etc., that the fertilizer should contain the three "elements" of plant food in the proportions that are best suited to the particular crop. This is particularly true if the purpose is to use liberal amounts of fertilizer per acre. T? ^Afln|An? onnnlu In fVlA Xii 3UV/? vaoc nic uciiv^ictiv ?mv natural soil, of any one or more of the three "valuable" elements (phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash) need not be specially considered. According to carefully conducted flela experiments, conducted at many of the experiment stations, it has been found that cotton requires a fertilizer that contains about one part each of nitrogen and potash and 3 1-3 parts of available phosphoric acid. This demand would be met by a fertilizer containing iu per cent, available phosphoric acid, 3 per cent, of nitrogen and 3 per cent, of potash; or, as ordinarily expressed, a 10?3?3 fertilizer. One analyzing 9?2.70?1.70; or 8?2.40?2.40; or 7?2.10?2.10, etc., would answer just as Calvert & Nickles. ? Headquarters for ?

So it has been found that corn, sugar cane, sorghum, grasses and other crops belonging to the grass family respond best to a fertilizer that shall contain 10 parts of phosphoric acid, 5 parts of nitrogen and 2 parts of potash? or a 10?5?2 fertilizer. The following formulas are in precisely the same proportions, only they are of lower grade, and would give practically the same results only when a correspondingly larger application shall be made per acre?viz., 9?4.50?1.80; or 8?1.00?1.60; or 7?3.50?1.40, and so on. Of course, these lower grades can be sold at lower prices than the high grades; but, as a rule, the farmer will find It more economical to buy the high grades, both on account of their cheaper price per "unit" and also the saving of freight the latter being precisely the same, per ton. for both high and lo./ grades. APPLYING FERTILIZER WHEN PLANTING. While it Is certainly true, in our experience, that the greater part of the fertilizer should be applied about two weeks before the crop is to be planted, well mixed In the soil of the bedding furrow and bedded on, there are circumstances that would justify a farmer in making one or more lntercultural applications, including one at the actual date of planting. The following are such circumstances: (1) When a farmer has not been able to secure the whole amount of his fertilizers before planting time. (2) When he concludes, after his crop has been planted and is growing, that he did not buy and apply as much as he should have done before planting. (3) When the yellowish green color and want of vigor in the appearance of the plants indicate that more nitrogen is needed by the crop. We believe it may be safely accepted as a general rule that a small portion of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer should be applied with, or near the seed, at the time of planting. The efTect of this small application Is to supply the young plants with available food during the first stage of their growth, inducing prompt and vigorous development. For this purpose 40 to 50 pounds per acre may be applied of the same fertilizer that had been bedded on two weeks before planting. A second application of high-grade fer- . < tlllzers may be made at the second or I third plowing of cotton, or at six or eight e HIVIKTO iiClgm Ul uio pifcluia up iu ao iiiuiies. or the middle to last of May, and the . middle to last of June. i The interrultural applications may he , made In the siding furrow, or the fer- t tllizer may be strewn along in the middles ahead of the plow or cultivator. There . is no need to fear that the plants will : not get the benefit of a high-grade fer- ; tllizer If put anyhere, on or between the j rows. June 2Gth is the latest date at ' which the writer has ever applied fertilizer in this way to either corn or cot- 1 ton, although there is little reason to I doubt that even later applications would t benefit the crop; but probably not enough ? to pay the cost of the fertilizer. -| i 11 WCULIAtt ENGLISH SPELLING. tut Difficult of All Sriteius to A?

There is no valid objection t ihonetic spelling except the difficulty c ntroducing it. Tho etymological objec ion is unworthy of serious consideratior The etymology, for example, of "sop! sin" (which, by the way, docs not impoi k wise saying) resides in the real wore lot in its spelling.

It is strange that some way cannot bo devised for irrigating at least a suffl3h cient amount of tillable land to insure the t* farmer a good hay crop. There is no ration ig that will take the place of this, and the d. futilities for making sure of it are any>1* thins; but satisfactory.

Third Train That Hai Been Sent Out by the National Association?Sonth to Be Taajtht to Build Illchwaya Scientifically. A train of twelve cars, known aa the "Good Ronds Special," left Washington ou the .lines of the Southern railway early In November to stop at ten or twelve of the chief cities reached by the system and aid in organizing good roads associations and at the ! same time give a practical illustration 1 of modern roadmaking. The tour will | end Jan. 1. The train carried a full equipment I of roadmaking machinery and a party of eighteen persons, all skilled in tha manufacture of good dirt and rnacad am roads. It Is the third such train to be organized through the effortfi of the National Good Roads association, one having been sent along (be route of the Illinois Central from April to July and a second having traversed the district between Chicago and Buffalo along the routes of the Lake Sliore route and the New York Central. Everywhere the meetings have been widely 'attended and have produced permanent organizations determined to better the country roads of the section concerned. Mr. Martin Dodge, director of the office of public road inquiries In the agricultural department, and M. 0. Eldridge, his assistant, with Mr. W. H. Moore, president of the National Good Roads association, are In charge of the "Good Roads Special." Under their direction fourteen road experts, Mr. R. W. Richardson, secretary of the national association, and several clerki will undertake to organize in each of the cities visited a permanent good roads association. To this end they will confer with the mayor and city council of each city and the officers of its commercial organizations, arrange LOAD IK WBONQ PLACE. tbat a suitable ball shall bo hired und obtain tbe use of tea or twelve team*, as many men &ud a sufficient supply of crushed stone to construct a length of good road as a sample. When the train arrives, the engineers will begin at once to build about a mile of dirt road with tbe teams, men and materials furnished by the locality. They will then surface or macadamize as much of tbat road as their timu will permit When the practicability of the movement has been thus manifested, the mayor and commercial organizations will unite in a call for a public meeting to organize an association. President Moore of the National Good Roads association says of the project: "The south can have good roads If it will and the sooner the citizens get together and work along some well organized and practical line tbese results will be reached the quicner. mere jb nothing that will do more to increase the value of virgin lands and advance the development of the rural districts than well constructed public roads. The Improvement of the road system will have a wouderful effect upon stimulating tbe settlement of people on farms, and as these settlements are being made so will tbe value of the land Increase. "Wherever a city or town Is found possessing well made roadways leading therefrom you will find the business of that point Is In a prosperous condition. Therefore the citizens of every town In tbe south will be promoting their own Interests if they give this movement theli moral and If necessary financial support "It Is hoped that every state, county, city and town officer will give this subject of better roads serious consideration and then take the matter In band Immediately and show his constituents that the movement for better roads tpih r?rv>ivp hia utmost consideration and utmost co-operation. "It Is universally decided that good roads are what we want: In order to secure them we must pull together, working systematically and on practical lines. This grand tour, planned by the Southern Railway company, Is a signal for action. If the states visited are not alive to this and do not avail themselves of the opportunity to secure Information rendered by the good roada special train, no one will be at fault except the citizens of the states In which the exhibits are made." Grades of Roads. The grade Is the most important factor to be considered in the location o 1 roads. The smoother the road surface I +v>/i inca tiio (rrnd<> should be. Whether [ the road be constructed of earth, stone | or gravel, steep grades should alwayi j be avoided If possible. They become i covered at tim?s with coatings of Ice or slippery soil, making tlieui very difficult to asce-Dd with loaded vehicles, ai i well as dangerous to des ?nd.
