For the first crop it is often supposed
that soluble phosphate Il. c, super phos-
pbate or bone or mineral phosphate dis
solved in sulphuric acid) is nearly
twice the value to crop that insoluble
phosphate is. During the past three
years this question has been the subject
of n very thorough investigation in
a berdeenshire, as we learn from the
london Gazette, and the results are by
no me ms in accordance with the above
supposition. On comparing the dis
solved without the undissolved phos-
pilates, the superiority of the former
has been found to be only slight" and
not maintained at all the stations where
this series of experiments has been car
ried on. The Importance of a fine state
of division is strikingly illustrated by
the differences shown in the crops
grown by bone ponder and bone -four.
The first crop from the -four is heavier
by about fourth than that grown by

rather less nitrogen than the later 1t

x farmer writes: Weeds eat up the
farmers substance. The truth of this
ought TO be apparent to every one who
would figure up the cost of eradicating
them from the crops. And yet it is not
an enemy who hath done this. The
farmer himself is the one to blame
Just now the fields are white with
daisies and white-weed. The stubbles
are green with rag-weed. The road
sides are clothed with golden rods, this
ties or creeping briers. The door-yards
and hooks and corners of the farm bear
their burdens, and these nurseries of
weeds are neglected with the greatest
care. Timothy cut for seed is gathered
| with the daisies; clover is collected
with rag-weed or thistle down, and the
seeds are sent abroad for sale, thus pol
luted with foul weeds which are spread
far and wide. The thought of this fact
recently came home to me in leading
seed store as examined bag of Hun
garian grass seed, of which one-fourth,
at least, consisted of seeds of weeds.
The truth is, we rarely sow seeds of
plants desired for crops without sowing
with them many kinds of weeds. And
if we should ask ourselves: Whence
came these weeds?" we should, in truth.
reply, Sown by our own hauds!" The
ground is more than sufficiently stocked
to give us work enough to keep down
weeds for the term of our natural lives,
but that we should negligently SOW
fresh seed or permit weeds to ripen their
seeds, is a monstrous mistake. There is
time now to avoid this the present sea-
son, in great part. Numerous pestif-
erous weeds are constantly maturing !;
these could be gathered and burned, and
we could easily remedy the other mis-
take by ordering only clean seed, and
refusing to accept any other. If this
were always done, the seedsmen would
be chary of purchasing foul seeds, and
would avoid supplying them to their
customers. ...tD. ,.H.,.

TIRE. 1t fills the same place in regard to
manure as ccndiment does to food; it
supplies, to s)me extent, needed ele-
ment in the soil, although it is very
rarely that soils are deficient in lime,
but its greatest effect is to help the soil
to digest the manure, so to speak. 1t is,
in short, stimuIant which requires
solid food to be taken with it to prevent
injurious reaction. The two cannot,
therefore, be compared in the way sug-
gested in the inquiry. Lime is very
useful and effective application to the
soil when judiciously used, and its eff
feets are more apparent upon MANFRED
than upon worn soils; because it must
have something to work upon to pro
duce its effect. Ii is used in good sys

rate Of 40 or 80 bushels per acre, at the

and clover When used on summer
faIlow and without manure, it can on y
act injuriously by decomposing and
making Immediately available what
ever vegetable matter exists in the soil,
and by liberating part of whatever pot
ash may remain in it undeyoloped. In
this case it acts as stimulant alto
getber and really helps to impoverish
the soil more quickly than would other
wise be done. If the land is foul with
weeds and needs some vigorous treat
ment to improve it, and then it might
be advisable to summer-fallow it and
apply from 20 to 40 bushels of lime per
acre, in proportion to its present con
dition of poverty or goodness. But un-
less barnyard manure is applied very
