In nine cases out of ten it pays to sell
farm products as soon Is they are ready for
the market. The aggregate loss of holding
them is at least ten times the aggregate gain,
taking the experience of any hundred farmers
together.
Take, for example, grain In the natural
order of things the supply is equal to the de-
mand. The exceptions are when war takes
from the producing to add to the consuming
class, which, in addition to the waste aud ex.
pense of transportation, inevitably increases
the demand while decreasing the production
aud of course augments the price or when a
failure in some crop in some section places
the supply below the needs of that section,
and other districts are called upon to make
up for the deficiency.
But both of these causes are exceptional
As to the failure Of the grain crop in any
section it has become almost an axiom that
when corn or wheat is below the average
something else that can take the place of one
or both is above and thus the general aver.
age, except in some rare cases, is preserved
Then as to potatoes. They are generally
lower in the fall than in the spring but the
larger price in May rarely rets as mach as
the smaller price in October, The shrinking
during the intervening six months is never
less than twenty-five per cent, under the
most favorable circumstances, and is likely to
be greater.
Take also wool. The clip is generally
bought up in July and August, If not sold
then, it must be held till the next year. and
though there is no shrinking if properly
kept, yet there is some trouble, the loss Of
interest on the money, aud the possibility Of
even a less price, which the possible advance
in A large majority of cases never covers
And thus in every department of the farm
the principle that should underie all opera.
tions is Raise the best Of everything; when
the crop is ready for market, if offered fair
price, let it CO. Exchange paper.

Ashes VS.. Phosphate.

A New Hampshire correspondent Of the
Country Gentleman says
Having made this season, some experiments
with hardwood ashes and bone phosphate,
side by side, on potatoes, ! take the liberty
to send the results obtained to your excellent
farming journal.
The experiments we're made on about half
an acre of Early Rose potatoes, in the follow.
ing manner In two rows, when planted,
put about one gill Of phosphate; in next two,
the seed was planted without any fertilizer in
the hill-in two rows next to these, | put
one gill Of hardwood ashes in the hill, and
thus this operation was repeated on the piece.
The rows that were served with phosph'r
came up first, and looked the best the lore
part Of the season but the latter part the
rows containing ashes we're ahead. The rows
depending on nature alone we're visible
for long distance, owing to a smaller growth
Of tops. The land was loamy and bore pota-
toes last season, consequently not in very
rich condition to produce heavily.
dug the potatoes few days ago, and
found the rows in which the ashes were put
TO produce the largest aud the most in quanti-
ty--the rows IN which phosphate was put
produced fair quantity, but they were not
80 smooth and large as the rows containing
ashes the rows that simply drew their nour-
ishment from the soil alone, produced quite
aGuantty, but nearly one-half Of the pota.
toes we're too small to cook Planted two
bushels and one peck of seeod-dug twenty.

bushels Of small ones.
have used ashes, both leached and un-
leached for several years, and dnd that un.
leached pay me pretty well on corn, potatoes,
wheat, &c. | can buy good hardwood ashes
for 25c per bushol, while phosphate costs
from $3.50 to $3.50 per bushel, showing, if
ashes will produce as heavy crop as phos-
phate, large balance in their favor.
also tried some muck on another piece
put about two quarts in hill on sandy soil,
and found that this produced more potatoes
and better cooking ones than the soil alone.

boiler August nth; find that there can
be no blame attached 10 Capt. Skinner or
any Of the employees, but they do cen.
sure the U. s. Inspector for this district
for allowing the steamer to run some
four years or more without testing the
boiler as required by law, thereby en-.
dangering life and limb oil passengers and
crew, and we do hold said inspector in o
great degree responsible for said expio.
sion and at least great neglect Of his
duty as he granted q certificate for this
boat, without his being In the State at
the time. In our judgment IL is the duty
Of the authorities to examine into this
matter, and II there has been neglect on
the part Of the inspector rs evidence goes
to prove, he should be held accountable
for the same.
