wheat last fall, by the side of the Patapsoo
and Turner's. The result | am much
pleased with. | can see no difference be-

hereby certify that used half ton of
the Shenandoah Ammoniated Superphos-
phate, last fall, upon one-half of five acre
lot, near Woodstock. Upon the other
half of the same lot, and rather the better
part OF it in quality of soil, l used another
phosphate OF high character, in equal
quantity. The result has been very salts
factory, indicating the decided superiority
of the former over the latter. The stand
of wheat was much better upon the part
of the lot upon which the former was used
Although the drilling was not good, be-
lieve shall make Is bushels to the acre
upon that half of the lot. 1t might have
easily been increased to 20 by proper drill
ling. MOSES WALTON.

phate last fall. The wheat where | used
it turned out very WELL The heads were
large and well filed. tested it by drill
