LADY OF PHOENIX.

Under our stock raising head last week,
we printed an article from contemporary on
Shorthorns in the Olden Time" With re-
gard to the COW Lady, through which the
Galloway alloy got into the Shorthorns, the
writer of the article says, "She grew up to
be II fine cow" also that her produce "were
good cattle" But Mr.. Bell, in his history of
the Kirklevington herd says of Lady,
Though Lady of Phoenix was fat rumped
COW, and from giving very little milk and
being well kept was fat and sleek, she
wanted hair and handling. All the stock,
indeed, descended from her, wanted good
hair and the proper handling, but being very
bad mixers, they showed fat on the tail-head,
which is called the fools-piecc never knew
any of the tribe that were good mixers, and
by using bulls of the same strain the very best
of Shorthorns cattle have been ruined"

"AMERICAN MANURES AND FARMERS
AND PLANTERS GUIDE"

1t is with great satisfaction that we are
able to recommend to the farmers of our
state, this book for ut this time the science of
agriculture is so rapidly advancing that any
thing which helps disseminate the general
principles which underlie the use of manures
and fertilizers, is more than welcome. With
in the past few years the manufacture, sale
and use of the various kinds of commercial
fertilizers in our country, has reached the
the enormous sum of One-hdlf million tons,
with II cost of about S25, 100000, and this de-
mand is very rapidly increasing. Very few
of our farmers can dispense with them, and
fewer still are those who are able intelligent
ly to explain the principles which govern
their use. Owing to this general ignorance
which prevails, unprincipled manufacturers,
or what practically amounts to the same
thing, incompetent ones, have filled the
world with all sorts of worthless stuff under
one .brand or another, and the farmer has
suffered not only the loss of money invested
not only the loss of crops, but what is inf
nitely more disastrous, has had his confidence
in the employment of fertilizers, rs n means
of restoring the lost fertility of his fields.
wholly undermined. This book which is
within the comprehension of any one, will
expose many Of the frauds practiced, and
will enable the farmer intelligently to apply
to his fields us to his herds those elements of
nutrition in each case demanded. With
some points of theoretical science, perhaps,
exceptions might easily be taken, but in the
main we can give the work our hearty en-
dorsement.
Most of the analyses and descriptions of
superphosphates given in Chapter VI, are of
brands not common in our markets. but this
deficiency we are happy to state will be made
up in the forthcoming Report of the Ver-
mont Board of Agriculture, Manufacture and
Mining 1t may be said, however, that had
the author dealt with many of the so called
fertilizers in Vermont, change of name
would alone be necessary in his descriptions
His remarks upon reverted " or "prcclpi-
tated" phosphates are timely, and in our
opinion correct.
This book, however, is not intended as IL
text book for agricultural students, but rath-
er us Il manual for the practical farmer, and
from this view it may be regarded MS IL val
liable contribution upon this subject, and
worthy of II careful reading by any farmer
of our state. C.

date wants of the plants, than the compost
given above, even with the amendments we
have suggested.
A great deal of the common disparage-
ment of commercial fertilizers arises out of
the attempt, on the part of farmers, to make
eight dollars worth of superphosphate or gu
ano take the place of twenty-five dollars
worth of dung. II cannot he done success
fully, even when the artificial fertilizer is n
first rate article Dollar for dollar must be
used, and good judgment and experience ev-
en- then will be required to obtain the same
success with the commercial us with home
made manure.
We probably use more chemical fertilizers
upon our land than any farmer in this part of
Vermont, and we are using more and more
every year with profit; but we attribute our
success in great degree to willingness to
use them freely. We never think of drb-
bling them out as many farmers of our nc
quaintance do. but use them by the ton, and
put as much in value upon every acre in cul-
tivation MS we would do of dung when we
use that, (and we use that, where we do use
it. lin most wasteful Manner" as one of
the land-skinning sort would think.)
Artificial fertilizers cannot be made cheap
ly enough to replace the homemade and
natural kinds of plant food. And it is well
that they cannot, for farmers generally are
already careless enough, and wasteful
enough, and neglected. enough, in the care
and production of them. without the addi-
tional excuse that they would have if they
could buy manure cheaper than they could
make it. On the majority of farms, il prop
erly managed, there is hardly a necessity for
the purchase of artificial fertilizers Except
ashes and plaster) unless just to get II start,
or to restore some outlying piece where it is
difficult or impossible to cart bulky manure.
But when it is used, as it must be by some of
us who keep little or no stock and want
large crops on II small area, use enough of it,
and above I'LL don't rely upon sixteen dollars
worth of any such compost rs that given
above on two acres, even if it is endorsed by
the Boston Journal Of Chemistry as Judi
cious sensible and cheap"
Since writing the above we find, by refer
ence to our scrap book, that this same, or
rather II very similar formula, was printed
in the Journal Of Chemistry three or four
years ago February 1869, we Think us "Dr.
Valentines receipt for making artificial gu
ano." Calcined plaster is there advised, and
the reason for having it calcincd is that it
will absorb the water used in dissolving the
salts. But the use of this water is unncces-
sary, for if the salts are pulverized, and even
ly mixed with the compost it is all that is
necessary; they will be dissolved without
difficulty, when applied to the land. by the
rain. Where the formula as then given diff
fers from that above it is better, inasmuch
us it contains more ammonia, some magne-
STA, and little common salt. It's not bad
compost; we object to it chiefly us being ut
terly insufficient for the quantity of land for
which it is advised
