Befo1e describing the ‘‘effect of mussel mud in soils,” and showing in what quan- tities and under what conditions it may be applied, and how the fertility of soils im- poverished by its excessive use may be re- stored most profitably, I will endeavor to show, to some extent, the nature of mussel] mud, and in doing sol will not go into any scientific analysis of the question, us [ think the object of those who offer the prize will best be attained by leaving the technical part of it to one side. 9, 1892. jState of the soii exhaustion on the I-land, jand until the farmer re: izes that the Island joan preduce other things quite as well as oate, I am afraid the poverty of the land wiil continue {n conclusion, I have to say that despite the opinion of the scientitic people, mussel mud has done marvels for the sland, and under a different svstem will do still grester things. But it must be used judiciously and intelligently, and perhaps then some of the soil exhaustion which now prevails will disappear. J. H.

The discontent which The great mistake that has hitherto been | made with mussel mud om the part of the farmer was in assuming that it ie a manure, and that it supplies all the elements of plant food. This to a plain farmer was natural enough. He saw land that would net pay for working it, and on which neither oats, timothy or clover would grow to any extent, after an application of mus-' sel mud giving a large and p»ying crop of all three; and he naturally thought that all’ he had to dv was to keep on repeatiag the dose of mussel mud, and the oats, hay and , pasture would follow as a natural conse- | quence. But, unfortunately, he found his' mistake, and the last end was worse than the first, fur the mussel mud, in’ place of supplying food to the land was simply stimulating it to greater exertions and making available plant food stored there and inert without the chemical! effects which the lime contamed in the mussel mud | exerts on the soil. From the various analyses which have from time to time been made of mussel mud, we now know that those principal elements of plant food, viz, phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen, are almost alto- gether wanting, and that its principal d21 2a~ m th ROLLED OATS 200 Barrels, N., B & M RATTENBURY, Q21 2aw mth i BEANS. 150 bbls.

The pop- ulace gathered in such foree as to overawe the police. They surrounded the Shsh’s palace, and loudiy demanded justice and relief from their oppressive burdens. The Minister of War, Kamran Mirzs, whose title is Naib-as-Salraneh, appeared before the palace and urged the peuple to go to their homes and vecupations, saying that the Shah would take their grievances into consideration. The people refused to be: pacified, and continued their clamor, be- coming st Jength so menacing that the military weresent for. The soldiers fired ou the mob, killing several. This had a discouraging effect and the rioters dis- persed. The Persian authorities are said to connect the riot with the anonymous petition presented to the Shah ‘sume time ago for which forty persons were arrested and punished. This petition asked for a number of reforms, including the creation of a representative system, giving the people a share in the management of public affairs.
