Blue Mari and Blind Staggers
Editor Farmer and Mechanic:

Editor Farmer and Mechonic:
Thanks for Prof. Kerr's article
on mari. 1t is the greatest sim
gle factor in our future as a pros
porous State. The only thing
necessary to turn it to profitable
account is energy. My own ex-
perience with what we call blue
mari (but which does not cor
respond with the Doctors; he
naming a variety of shell mari
with clay "blue marl') has ex-
tended over a period of 20 years.
| have applied it in different
quantities, on different soils, on
the same soil in different cir
cumstances and to different crops.
1t has never failed to improve
my land 500 fold.
The improvement from blue
mari is permanent, provided the
land has any mercy shown 1t.
If rested or rotated regularly, |
am perfectly certain that the
effect is lasting. Another fact
is that when married land has
been exhausted from successive
cropping without manuring or
rotating, one years rest restores
it to a degree Of fertility far ex-
ceeding land not marled. | am
satisfied Of another strange fact.
Mari in some way has power to
fix %putrescent manures perma-
nently in the soil. This is hat
| mean: Seven years ago [ cow
pened a piece of new land and
married it at the rate of 1000
bushels per acre. For six years
it proved too rich for sweet po-
tatoes, making the roots split
and seam, and producing the
most luxuriant vines, and to, day
the boundaries of the cow-pen
are readily discernible to the
eye. 1t cost from So to $40 per
acre to mari land in this section.
| was very much interested in
your article on staggers in horses.
Several years ago lost a fine
horse from that disease, of which
| made a "post mortem" exami-
nation. | wrote out the cease"
for the Wilmington Journal. l
succeeded in eliciting an interes-
ting correspondence through that
able paper, Drs. Guitar and
Satchwell taking part. The con-
clusion of these learned gentle
men, based upon the symptoms
and morbid appearances was,
that the disease is Ramollisament
or softening of the brain, and
that the fault was in a failure of
the kidneys to secrete, their sus
pension of function being the
result of indigestion. Treatment:
preventative saltpetre twice
a week. j. S. D.
