ALrBA FARMERs' eLrB.--As the regular
mseeting Of the Alpha Farmers Club 81 Car
roal county, At tinksbnrg, on Saturday even
in last, Mr.. Lewis Evans, in giving bis ex-
pc renee IN the use Of fertilizers, stated that
he bad been five years al The Maryland Agri
cultural College, that Fertilizers we're the surs
est and quickest means Of improving land.
that during the five years he bad experiment
cd with nineteen different kinds of fertilizers,
and found Peruvian Guan0 to be the best, es-
peeially in the production OF grass, hut pro
nounced all very good and profitable both in
producing crops and IN improving the soil
Mr.. Gorsuch was ofthe opinion thatthe con
tinued use of fertilizers would impoyerish the
soil and ruin the farmer who persisted in their
use, and that if farmers would expend the
same amount Of money in lime, aud apply il
10 the soil, the lands Of Carroll county would
become the best in the State
Mr.. Lamotte thought that the views Of
Messrs. Evans and Gorsuch were on the ex.
IRENE each way, theson in favor and the
other in condemnation Of fertilizers, and that
1 the application Of either lime or fertilizers as
improycrs Of the soil, depended very much
upon the mode OF application and manner OF
eultivating The soil. He believed lime to be
the most substantial and probably better
adapted TO the lands Of Carroll, and more
eifectual in giving the soil body than fertili-
zers, but had known lime to be applied to
land in quantities ranging from fifty to two
hundred and 6fty bushels per acre, without
any beneficial results, and considered it alto.
gether attributable to improper cultivation OF
the soil. As regards the results obtained at
the Maryland Agricultural College from the
use Of fertilizers, he thought that farmers
might be led astray by relying too implicitly
upon them, as each manufacturer, in that
case, no doubt produced a good article, know
ing that the object was to test the value Of the
different brands and publish the result to the
world
Mr.. German related several cases in which
truck raisers, near Baltimore City, had sub.
stitated fertilizers in tire place of stable ma
nure, and in every case obtained better results
from the use OF fertilizers than manure.
! Messrs Reid, Matthews and others gave their
views in relation to the value of fertilizers.
The subject was continued to the next meet
ing of the club, which will be at Browns
