Throughout, the Fair has been a success
financially. The only accident, except the
killing Of the horse on Wednesday, happened
Thursday afternoon, at Park Station, where
James Wade, brakeman on the Montpelier
and Wells River Railroad. fell between two
cars. one of which passed over him, cutting
of one leo, breaking the other badly and
seriously bruising him about the head. His
recovery is considered doubtful.

BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE,
STATISTICS AND MINES AND
IMMIGRATION, Nashville, De
cember 81, 1878.
Messrs. VdHer 1HcCO1lb C Co.,
CgdrksUilLe, TeRn.-DEAR SIRs f:
Pressure of public duties must be
my excuse for not replying to yours
of October oath, asking for a state
ment as to the effects on Tobacco of
an application of the Anchor Brand
TobaccD Fertilizer. have the
pleasure 70 say that its effects were
very marked, enough SO to satisfy
me that its applicationwwill pay the
tobacco grower handsomely on all
lands not naturally very fertile.
Besides using it upon my general
crop. caused a red hillside to be
broken up that had not produced
the least sign of vegetation for
twenty years or more. After being
narrowed and laid off in rows three
and half feet apart, Icaused about
two tablespoonful of the fertilizer
to be dropped at the points of inter-
section of the rows. This was
chopped up with the red clay and
well mixed with it, and small hill
prepared for the reception of the
plants. About the 5th of July the
tobacco was planted, and although
the weather was dry and the ext
gencies Of the main crop prevented
proper attention to this small de-
tached piece, the plants grew off
rapidly, coming into top about the
18th of August. The tobacco grew
-, - hor1 In.,I4hVy !,
and was housed about the 1st of
October, making a good medium
tobacco of fine body. This was a
very severe test for the fertilizer.
because / am certain the soil was
destitute of all plant food before the
application of the fertilizer.
Since making this experiment, l
am convinced that by its use many
of the haggard, quilted old fields
that mark the shiftlessneSs of our
farmers may be made to grow to-
baccO of good quality so as to be-
come profitable to their owners. 1t
ought to be introduced and used
extensively in our tobacco growing
counties, and railroads would find
| it TO their ultimate advantage to
transport if, and all other fertilizers,
free of charge. Very truly,
J. 3. KILLEBREW,
TNOte:-The office of a manure is
two-fold: First, to make available
in the soil what before was unavail-
able, and second, to add such kim
dred material as it may contain to
the store thus brought into play.
The alkaline portion of the soil
especially is slowly rendered avail
able under the influence of natural
causes, otherwise it would not give
out SO rapidly as it does under crop
ping. We are persuaded, therefore,
that the Anchor Brand not only
supplied needed material to Colonel
KilIebrew's ''red hillside" but an
locked in it plant food that other
wise would have remained inert
and Improbable.
