Messrs. BAKER, Brown & Co.,
GENTLEMEN-l have used Bradley's Patent
Superphosphate of Lime on my corn land for the
past four years, az the rate OF about 200 lbs. to
the acre in the hill. 1t invariably increases the
yieid of corn at least one-third. In the season
of 1867 think the phosphate increased my crop
two fold, as where no phosphate was used the
corn was inferior in quality and quantity. The
past season my corn was dne-tbird better where
| used the phosphate, notwithstanding the severe
drought.

Chairman of the executive committee OF the
Caledonia County Agricultural Society at st.
Johnsbury, VT.
The time has arrived when the members ofthe
executive committee were TO report to the socle-
~ from their respective towns, in regard TO the
trial of different fertilizers offered for sale Ill
the county.
Several persons in this town have during the
past season tried Paddock, Dean s Cos side by
side with Bradley's, of Boston, but not with
sufficient care TO give definite results.
l would state that last spring made propo-
sal to Mr.. Paddock and to MIR. Bradley that on
condition of their furnishing quantity OF Phos-
phate for trial would take pains 10 make some
experiments on different crops. MIR. Paddock
made no reply, but MIR. Bradley accepted my
offer on the condition that neither party should
furnish direct from their manufactures.
l therefore purchased several hundred pounds
of the P. D. & Cos phosphate from Hazen !
Brothers, Barnet, VT, also two barrels OF Brad
ley's, from F. Deming, Wells River, VT
The land selected for this experiment was the
poore st on my farm, having been twice cropped
with buckwheat without manure. divided the
piece into four lots for a corn crop as follows:
No. l, well MANFRED with stable manure; No.
| 2, lightly manfred with stable manure; No. 3,
no stable manure; No 4, neither manure or
| phosphate.
The first three lots had equal weights of phos-
phate in the following order: first, two rows, IA
| pounds Bradey's phosphate each row next two
| rows, IA pounds Z. d. q Cos each one, and SO
| on alternately through the whole piece. Each
| row had its phosphate weighed by Fairbanks
| scales, kept in the field for the purpose.
AS TO the result, would say that all came up
| looking well except No. 4, which was small and
| yellow.
After ten days. noticed the Bradley rows
were getting ahead OF the others, and at the sec
ond hoeing wonderful contrast could be seen
| between Paddock's and Bradley'S, so much as
| TO attract the attention OF persons on the high
way near by. l think the difference at this time

The TroubIe BetYyeeu the LeaRuers and Kali
road Men In Kansas.

The Trouble Between the LeaRuers and Rail-
road Men In Kansas -.
A correspondent of the Leavenworth It'nes
writes as follows from Cato, Crawford county,
Kansas, under date of July 49,
1t becomes my painful duty to inform you OF
renewed acts of lawlessness committed on tne
Neutral Lands. On Friday night, July TO-
body of armed Leaguers attacked party OF
railroad hands on Drywood creek, seven miles
south OF Fort Scott, and two miles north OF this
place. They ordered the hands to pile all their
tools, including wheebarrows, picks, shevels,
ETC., and all their tents and surveying instru-
ments, into huge pile, which the railroad hands
were forced to do; they then gave them fifteen
minutes to leave the ground and set fire TO the
property of the railroad company, and all that
would burn was soon reduced to ashes.
No personal violence was used except In one
instance. laborer whom they had ordered of
on previous occasion was stripped OF all his
clothing, as they said for the purpose oil apply
ing the lash; but while they were engaged at
tending to the destruction of property, he made
bis escape to a farmhouse on Buck run, where
he was cared for and clothes furn ished him.
Another band of Ieaguers attacked party OF
laborers farther south and west, who came from
the Pawnee and Walnut creek districts, on the
same night. They also destroyed everything in
the shape of tools, tents, etc, that was combus-
| tible. and stole two mules from q teamster who
was in the employ of the railroad company.
Particular pains were taken by both these bands
! of outlaws to screen themselves by covering
| their heads with handkerchiefs and light pieces
| of cloth, to avoid being recognized. None of
| the railroad employees were allowed to approach
nearer than thirty feet to the mob
There is q strip of neutral land six miles by
| twenty-four, in the southern part of Bourbon
| county, and on this strip of land these acts of
lawlessness were committed, not, am glad to
add, by the citizens of Bourbon county. The
parties who participated in this shameful pro-
| ceedng were all from Crawford and Cherokee
| counties.

The Massachusetts Temperance Movement.
AT meeting of the Executive Committee of
the State Temperance Alliance, the recent vote
requesting Mr.. William B. Spooner to resign the
Presidency of the Alliance was unanim re-
scinded resolution was adopted approving
the call by the Prohibitory Committee for
State Temperance Convention. Mr.. Spooner,
Rev. DIR. Marvin and Rev. Mr.. Thayer were de-
signated a cooperative committee.
Rev. Mr.. Dwyer, of the German Methodist
Episcopal Church of Boston Highlands, who
was present by invitation, made an address, in
which he said he was opposed to the sale of
lager beer, being satisfied that it was intoXi-
eating and injurious to the German population.
He thought that if a meeting was called of the
Germans who favor the present law, much good
would result.
Professor Webster of Illinois, said temperance
people were watching the cause in Massachu-
setts with great interest. The temperance men,
he said, formed an independent organization,
and would stand their ground, and that all over
the West they were massing, and it would be a
question of national policy.
