SIR planted about six acres with corn last
spring, and used your Phosphate in the bin
recommended. getting on about one barrel of the
Phosphate to the acre Between each acre ! lett
four rows through the field on which applied no
Phosphate, but on two of each Tour | used plaster
and ashes mixed. There was no other manure
used ON the field. the result OF this experiment
got noisod about while the was growing, ami
| should say that one hundred people came to
look at it, many remarking that it really beat the
stories they had heard OF it. | carefully measured
the corn from osch four rows without Phosphate,
and ,Ihen from four of the rows right alongside
which had received the Phosphate. The four rows
without Phosphate measured, on an average, seven
bushels Of ears OF corn. Aud the same number OF
rows with Phosphate measured twelve bushels OF
ears. The plaster and ashes did very little good
that | could discover The Weld the whole
six acres was 566 bushels of good sound corn.-
Where there no Pho sphste much OF the corn
was soft planted the corn in hills only three
feet apart, which was too thick for such growth,
as it was perfect swamp. never saw the like
for corn. BY careful estimate found that ESQ
worth Of your Phosphate made me something over
au increase OF l25 bushels OF sheled corn.

EX GOVERNOR HoLBBooK on BRADLEY SUPER
PHosPHATE.-I have used Bradley's Super Phos-
phate OF Lime for several wears, with invariably
good results, and commend him for his integrity
in manufacturing it.
Bradley Super-Phosphate is excellent Tor about
every vegetable grown in the garden tor wards
and lawns, and the various shrubs cultivated
therein for corn and potatoes--in field and cul-
tivatiou and especially when stocking land to
grass whether in the usual way, with a grain
crop in Spring, or with grass seeds alone in Au-
gust and September.
BY applying say 800 lbs. Of Super-Phosphate
per acre, with the grain and grass seeds in spring
the straw is much stifened, the crop less liable
to lodge, the heads are large and the kernels
plump, while grass seeds catch well and give a
thick stand Of grass.
Turning over old bound-out moving or sward
land in August, and applying, say 500 lbs Of
Super-Phospcate per acre, and reseeding directly
to grass without taking crop OF grain. will give
an increased quantity and improved quality Of
hay crops for three and four years following; OF
il the land be pasture exclusively, this mode Of
treatment will improve he pasture very much for
quite number OF years. or pastures which cannot
be plougled, he much improved by top dressing

DEAR SIR I'll have an old CLAW soil meadow, of
about three acres and three years ago began
experimenting on it with your Phosphate by top
dressing, with about one half barrel OF the Phos
phae to the acre. Before the Phosphate was APP
piled, the meadow produced regularly about one
half n ton of hay to the acre. lapplied about the
same a mount of Phosphate eacI season, sowing
it early in the spring. The yield Of hay has
steadily increased each year, both in quantity and
quantity Since began the treatment with Phos
phate, and this summer | cut fully two tons OF
hay to the acre, of far better quality than that
grown on the same land in its former impover-
shcd condition. think that this land Is now
what would lie called rich meadow whereas
three years since it would hardly paw for moving
| think hay grown on land manure with Phos-
plate is worth at least three dollars per ton more
than that gro II ON ordinary land without Phos-
phate and certainly would make that difference
in purchasing to feed my own stock ! raised a
fine crop OF potatoes on the Phosphate this season,
and believe it an excellent manure for that and
indeed all other crops.

ALprRGu SPRINGS. The mineral spring
mania is assuming immense proportions IN
Vermont, lust now,j in some cases, no doubt
disproportionate to the value OF the waters
as remedial agents Bat that there Is real
merit in some Of them, none can doubt
They have endured the test Of Time and
trial. OF course, we should not Jump at
the conclusion that any spring water which
has mineral properties, is therefore pos
scsscI Of valuable medicinal qualities
Neither should we reject the testimonies
of experience, without estimating their
value by the standard of probable veracliy
and Judgment. Discrimination - always

and assumption Of merit, may bring

But the highest success is only attained by
enterprise backed by merit. THIS is last

The Alburgh Springs are among the

known. 1t may be that their fame is no.
SO wide spread as that Of the Saratoga
Springs, but beginning with II local rapu-
tation which sprung up naturally around
them, expanding by IA natural process,
rather than by extensive advertising, they
have now became known far and near
and they are thronsed with health seekers
from all parts Of the country. II is not the
ephemeral reputation of artificial excite
ment, but the more enduring fame of solid
merit, already old enough to inspire conf
deuce in the most cautious.
The location Of the springs is surpass''
ingly beautiful. The surrounding scenery
,s of the finest in New England, As a
Summer resort it has unrivaled charms.
1t is easy of access, near The V,&C. R,R.,

at great outlay, and is now one OF the

THE cHEsTNUT.-(C Cdstdnea Vesca.)
The chestnut is a native of
both Europe and America.
The American tree being
scarcely more than a variety of
the European. The leaves are
oblong, lanceolate, accuminate,
smooth and green on both sides.
Nuts usually two and some
times three IN each covering;
they are quite sweet and are
much sought after as food.
Throughout ages past, and in
every country, the nuts of this
fine tree have been in general
use as food, both in a raw and
cooked state, Even to this
day, in those parts of France
and Italy, nearest the great
chestnut forests of the Appe.
nine Mountains, these nuts
form a large portion of the
food which sustainS the labo-
rious peasantry, where grain
is but little cultivated, and po.
tatoes are almost unknown.
There, very sweet and highly
nutritious flour is prepared
from them, which makes a de.
licious bread. Therefore large
quantities of fruit are collected
annually in those countries,
and dried and stored away for
winters use. The most cons
genial location for a full and
perfect development of the
tree, is the mountainous slopes
of mild climates. The most
superb and lofty chestnuts i'll
America are to be met with in
the sunny slopes of the nouns
tains of the States of North
and South Carolina. In Eu.

nary size, which have stood
up proudly during the rush of
rolling years and gathering,
raging storms, exciting the
surprise of the thronging ad-
venturers. The chestnut for
its fine qualities, which are
adapted to landscape garden
ing, ranks with that king of the
forests-the oak. Like that
tree, it attains an enormous
size, and its longevity, in many
cases is almost equally remark
able. Its beautiful, glossy fo'
liage, and sweet nuts, have al
ways rendered it a favorite
tree sincea a very remote pc
riod. 1t is highly adapted to
ornament the pleasure grounds
of extensive country resi-
dences. When quite young,
its smooth stem, clear and
bright foliage, and pretty ap-
pearance, when dressed with
its abundant, lightogreehishl
yellow blossoms, which project
beyond the glossy mass of
leaves, render it a graceful
and beautiful tree. When it
attains old age, its huge trunk,

part of the State is remarkable
forib fertility aud produces
good crops of corn, wheats and
oats, The crops are all looking
very fine and promise an abunr
dant harvest, There was con.
siderable wheat sown last fall,
and in spite of the opinion
that fall llWReat would not stand
the winter, It is in a flourishihg
condition and promises TO pay
a large profit to the producer.
The climate Is, very healthyy
the only objection is that the
wind blows very hard during
the winter and, spring Wild
land sells from $1.00 to $500
per acre. This surely is the
place for a man of small means
to invest his capital, as it will
return alareer per cent than
if invested in an older State.
Land is increasing in value at
the rate of Is per cent. "a year.
1t costs but a itrifle to raise
stock here as it can run on the
prairie, and hay for wintering
can be cut on the same place,
All kinds ofstock commands a
good price. This country is

One hundred and fifty families
from Northern ! Ohio have
passed through this place, this
spring on their way to their
homestead lands. Three years
ago, Wamego consisted of one
log heuse; now it-has between
two and three hundred inhab-
itants. There have been four.
teen houses built in this place
this spring, and six more are
under contract. The Indians
are eicommitting some depreda.
