Commercial Fertilizers.


The use of commercial fertilizers has he
como so universal and so many kinds are
pressed upon the market, that accurate
knowledge of the constituents and value OF
the respective kinds, is of the first value TO
our farmers Of course the statements OF
manufacturers On these points have to he
taken with some caution, and the farmers
can only know what they arc buying by
means of careful and impartial independent
scientific analyses. 1t is also well to have
such analyses repeated from time to time,
to determine whether orno the fertilizers sold
continue uniform inquality and value.
\ series of analyses made in the Labora-
tory of The State University, several years
ago. were of undoubted service TO the agri-
culturists of our State. We are glad now to
to be the medium of presenting 10 them the
results of fresh series of analyses, made
under additional safeguards, and with espe
cial care. Prof. Sabin, professor of chcmis'
try in the University, is not only a thorough
" scientific chemist, hut is well vcrsed ii
practical agriculture. lie has conducteJ
these analyses at tie expense of the lniver
sity, without any special remuneration, with
out even the knowledge of the manufacturer:
AMI dealers, and without the slightest inter
est in any fertilizer S, netting which cal
not be said of all previous analyses. We dc
not hesitate to pronounce these the mos
careful and valuable series Of analyses o.
fertilizers as vet made in this State, AMI w
commend them 10 the farmers of Vermont
as entitled to their careful attention and full
confidence.

The deadlock in the Senate came to an
end yesterday noon, after an existence of
two months. The plan adopted by the Re
publican caucus which produced this result
was that executive sessions be held forth
with for the transaction Of business In the
following order First, 10 refer 10 appro-
pirate committees all the nominations now
on the table. Second, to take up for final
action the various treaties which now await
ratification, and in the third place, to consider
all uncontested nominations already report
ed, or that may be hereafter reported from
the Senate committees. This plan was
adopted as the easiest way out of a predica-
ment which has become unpleasant to all
concerned |, was of course satisfactory to
Senator Conkling' and his friends and natur-
ally less so TO the administration Senators.
There was long discussion in the caucu.
over he definition Of the term '-uncontest-
ed" which Was finally decided to be mot
ling and his friends fought for the adoption
of this construction and Messrs Hale. Conger
and other administration Senators opposed
IT. Mr.. Conkling won, and Judge Robert
sons, the only contested" nomination of
Importance, goes over The correspondents
say that this docs not indicate the assurance of
Mr.. CoGkiinss ability to defeat the nomina-
ton in the Senate. Mr.. Robertsons friends
within and without the Senate do not admit
for a moment that they have been defeated,
or can be.

SENATOR CoSKLiSG is quoted as saying
that he was consistently hostile TO the Hayes
administration with far less cause than
President Garfield las already given that
the nomination of Robertson is a gross per
sonnl insult to himself, and that he will OPP
pose it l.. every means in bis power, and de-
feat lis confirmation if he can. The Presi-
dent SAYS he will not Withdraw it, nor con-
sent to lis being treated in any way differ
emily from other nominations. The COM
mittee OF the Senate caucus, it seems, did
suggest 10 him that it might be prudent to
withdraw the nomination, in order to pacify
Mr.. Conkling, but the President repealed the
suggestion with some heat, bringing his fist
down upon the table as he spoke, with such
