In the brlci account which we gave
some days since Of the dinner at Ply.
mouth, on the Cpd INST, in comncmo.
ration of the landing Of Plymouth PHI
grlms, we stated that the Hon. Thorn
as ii. Perkins, one Of our most vcncr-
able and highly respected citizens was
present, and that his presence was
cordially and enthusiastically greeted
by the gentlemen present Mr. Web
stcr who presided, proposed a toast
highly aud deservedly complimentary
to Col, Perkins, which was received by
the company with applause. Colonel
Perkins then rose, and in clear and
distinct voice, addressed some appro-
PIRATE remarks to the meeting, in re-
turn for the compliment that had been
paid him. In the course of those re-
marks, he related an anecdote which
connects the Pilgrims TO our own day
and generation, more nearly than any
circumstance which we recollect 10
haveever seen or heard. Its, certain
ly, a very striking fact, that ,hree lives
should have encompasscd such as
tonlsing results.
Col. Perkins gavea account Of q
visit to the Old Colony, which we will
attempt, as nearly as we can TO repeat.
He stated that in the month OF June,
1900, now nearly half century since
a party Of gentlemen left Boston with
the intention of passing n few days at
Sandwich, in trout-fshing and sport
on the marshes of that town. The
party was composed Of ten PERSONS
Gen. Elliot, Gen. VIM Sullivan, Mr..
Daniel Sargent and his brother, John
Turner Sargent, (of the same family
with the late Col Henry Sargent, who
painted the picture Of the Landing of
the Pilgrims, now IN the pllgrlmllal }

An unexpected and animated dis

ON the report Of the committee against

Then let equal quantities by weight, OF
a thoroughly pure grain, wheat. rye, or
oats, or any other IL may be desired to
try, be sown aud covered, i'll these sever.
al areas. Only one kind of grain will be
employed in the experiment If others
are TO be tried, LET separate areas he Sc
lected and prepared, suit for each grain.
Then take small quantities Of gypsum.
potash, soda, ashes, bone-dust treated with
diluted sulphuric acid, night soil, or any
of the so called r,anures 1t may be wish
ed to try, and put them upon or near the
surface of the soil. If deeply buried, they
might be dissolved by rains, and carried
down beyond the reach of roots.
Now all will receive from the frost, the
rains, the dew, the sunshine, and the
drouth, the same treatment. From the
native soil they will derive equal measures
of nutriment.
/ But from the added manures they will
derive unequal advantage Some Of the
additions will contain a desired ingred-
ent-others will not and the relative
values will be indicated by the relative
weights Of the rlpencd gram at harvests.
If the seed was weighed, the better
manure will be pointed out i'll the higher
weight and plumpcr appearance of the
gram.
That the manures may be compared, =,
and the relative profits of this or that
readily estimated, positive quantities
should be employed, that is, such, that by
measure or weight, the cost of that used
may be accurately known
The weighing for the occasion, if not
otherwise convenient, might be made with
the sugar and ten scales Of the nearest
grocer. As the grain to be sown is, for
each lesser piece ofground to be the same
in weight, the quantity for one being de-
tcrmined, it may be placed III one scale
pan, and the other parcels severally bal
anced against it.
There is some trouble in all this care
about quantities but if the conviction
be deepened that faithful attention to
them is Indispensable in experimentation
that is to be of value, it may perhaps be
more cheertully engaged in.

This inquiry is beyond question one oI
the most frequent aud important that pre-
sents itself to the farmer.
With the light which has, within the
last few years, been thrown upon the
subject of manurcs, their nature, and the
secret Of their value, something like a
practical course has been revealed. 1t
may be illustrated as follows.
If soil fails to produce given crop,
it is because it either wants the requisite
texture, or it wants certain essential NOR
ganic ingredients, or it may be deficient
i'll both.
Ifyegctablc refuse in sufficient quanti-
ty has been strown over and plowcd IN,
the deficiency of one or more essential
inorganic ingredients, must be consider
ed the solution of the failures.
Now how shall this deficiency be as
ccrtauedl How shall it be determined
what soil needs
4 1t may need gypsum, or phosphatcs, or
potash, or soluble silica, or lime. 1t may
be benefited by ashes, or poudrcttc, or
guano, or fish. But it probably does not
uecd all, and would not, probably, be
equally benefited by them scvcrally.
/ Which, then, shall be selected How
shall any one without aid, be enabled to
determine what will benefit his soil
most
4 The following suggestions are made in
general reply to this inquiry.
Having prepared few square yards or
rods, so that the texture shall be all that
is desired. let equal areas six feet square
each, for examplc-bc accurately mca-
sured aud slakcd II the soil in the same

might be a bare possibility that his regard for
