The Practical Value of Coal Ashes.

Notwithstanding all that has been of
fered in favor of coal ashes as a fertil-
ger, certain editors OF certain papers,
who rely more on the analysis of some
chemist than on the results of practice,
will persist in publishing their opinion
of coal ashes-namely, that such ashes
are not worth the expense of wagoning
or carting the distance of half mile.
Almost every week we meet with some
practical farmer who has been accus-
toned TO spread his coal ashes around
fruit trees, who expresses immense salts
faction in the results when they are en-
plOyed as a fertilizer.
Concerning the great value of coal ashes
when spread round about fruit trees, Mr..
II. Wooden, of Indiana, writes as fol
lows: 1.-TWO years ago beautiful plum
tree in my yard bore only few speci-
mems of fruit. The tree appeared healthy,
but the fruit fell off until only seven i'm
perfect ones remained. In the following
autumn | dug about the tree, cut away
the grass and spread coal ashes, from the
CRATES and stoves, around it for two or
three feet, and about two or three inches
deep, and tramped the ashes lightly down.
The following spring the tree leaved out
nicely, was full of plums, and nearly all
remained on it until ripe. SO full were
the branches that had to tie them up to
support the weight. The fruit was quite
perfect in size and shape, and l am sure
the manner of treatment was the cause of
the improvement. l think many fruit
trees could be thus improved, both in
quantity and quality of fruit they would
produce"
A farmer of Northern New Jersey as
sured us that a number of years ago he
spread several bushels of coal ashes
around each apple tree, and that for sew
/ raj af he FRI on
much larger and fairer than the crop of
any previous season.-N. y. Herald.
