MR. SPOONER'S LECTURE.

To the &liter.
your teport of my ricent looters to the
Dorehastir Farmers' Club, I am made to say "That I
would recommeed that In any future analyses the club
may thine proper so have made, that the manufacturers
should send in their own temples.' Allow me to say
that I saver sail anything of the sort, nor did it enter
my mind to make a proposition so very prepoeterona.
What I really ci.l wan that "I wail I recommend the
slab in any future analyses to take Niro that the
samples tent should repreeent the loading articles sent
out by moll cianufaeturer (that is the manures of which
they sold the molt), aid that if in additiou any special
manure were amok an explanation should aooompany
It." As the error is Important, I will thank you to
oorrect it to your next. .

I ULM, your obedient servant,
W. C. SPOONEH.
Eling Ilona., near Southampton, April Ist, 1872.
[W. Specimen' is a very clever mil, but the old chyle)
of misrepresenting by a " preposter4o." statsment, to
have the easy victory of refitting it, is roma skill al
than ingenuous. We never report xi him as saying
"manefaetarers should send in their own samples,"
but those are the words—" II 1 recoolusended that on a
future °cession tikry should get simples from the
dilVrent maeufaaturers with an expluiatlon of their
couslituents;" and our centeruporazy reported him
thua—" lie recommended that on another as sten the
real standard article as supplied lop As maituferturers
should be testod aud that if th..re were any °tears
explauations should lie submitted ta tho clamant."
However, we have no objection to publhibiug Lat
Mr. Spooner really meant and how elands rt no•
The Club is to take e..re that the samples isnalyeed
represent the manure, of which the different usanufac-
timers sell meet. To •seertain this, of course, the
insoufseterers mast ba applied to. Then, he says, any
"special manure." is to be sant with an explaustiou ;
and that must neoesarily be obtained from too mane.
(saturate. The drat of his lecture was that the Die-
*dyed Bones supplied br him to • member of the c!ab
and sent up for analysis is a very "special manures"
and required an "explanation," NI indeed was obvious
from the valuation; but, as the club justly concluded,
either • sheath{ knows the aemposition of insoluble
phosphates, whether of bone or mineral, or his analysis
Is vain, and to sail up • manufecter,r's tat Ltoa4ocks of
the oomposition oh seals manure, or even any " ex-
Phlnations" would mrogether defeat the purpose of the
slab—to get • fair unbiassed analysis and valuation of
the mamma sal In the dist/Jct.—KM]
