SUPER PHosPHATEs.-- AT this season
our farmer readers are being besicged by
agents for the sale of commercial fertilizers
and as many ofthcm are new and untrled
and ns many others are offered for sale by
totally irresponsible parties, it Is but right
that the farmer should inform himself in
every possible way, for his protection
An insight into the worth of fertilizer AS
shown hy its claimed analysis, compared
with the price at which it is sold should
be had and understood by every farmer;
for by becoming thoroughly conyersant
with the mode of calcuatln. the worth OF
a fertilizer from the analysis claimed there
for, will place him in position toask ques
tons of dishonest agents Of dishonest man
utacturers. that it will be impossible for
them to answer.

then is, that Il guaranteed analysis implies
u claim that certain fertilizer contains
so many units (that is, 50 much per cent?
of Bone Phosphate Ammonia and Potash,

is, that each unit or per cent of the aboyc
has, subject to limited market fluctuations,
II certain fixed price, that varies but little
as the source from which they are derived
varies These prices may be obtained
from dealers in crude material as readily
and as correctly rs the prices OF any other
~ ,rkctable commodity.
Once having n correct idea of what an
analysis means as it has reference to the
cost and having n knowledge of the worth
on the market of the different constituent
parts of the fertilizer, covered by the anal
ysis, it becomes a mere example in multi
plicatiop and addition, to calculate the
worth a. it would appear to he claimed by
the analysis, with which it will be interest
ing as well as profitable to compare the
price at which the fertilizer is sold. If the
farmer will correctly inform himself rs to
the market price of Soluble Bone Phos-
plate, Potash and Ammonia, per unit, he
can readily satisfy himself from any claim
ed analysis, VIII, ther or not the price asked
for the fertilizer justifies the claim of the
analysis and il the analysis makes the fer
tilzer worth more than the price asked it
will be safe thing to do. to give that fer
