Farming with Fertilizers.

In our issue of September 18th we
gave Editor Boardman's account of his
visit to the farms where Mr.. w. B.
Kendall of Bowdoinham, Maine, is car
rying on his experiments in the growing
of common farm crops with artificial
fertilizers entirely. We now give Mr..
Kendall's own report, as printed in the
Home Farm of September 18th.
Field No. |, of ten and a half acres
was bought in the spring of 1880. Quail
ity of soil, poor, formerly supporting
only pine and spruce growth. 1t was
plowed in June and August of the same
year and fallowed till October, when
fine bone meal and potash to the value
of $22 per acre were applied, and the
following spring seeded to oats and
grass seed. AT this point our expense
on the ten and half acres had been
5000, apportoned as follows: For land,
5000 for labor, $50; for fertilizers,
etc, $3.50; making total of $500. We
received from the crop of 1881, three
hundred seventy-eight bushels of oats
at fifty-ive cents, 5000 (the straw bal
ances the cost of harvesting). From the
crop of 1882, fourteen tons of hay at 81
say 800; crop of 1888, eighteen tons
of hay at $3.50, say 800; crop of 1884
thirteen and half tons of hay at 81 80
say 800; making total of $500. From
an outlay in fertilizer of $22 per acre
upon poor land in four years producing
oats and hay, we have as a result eighty
three and one-third per cent (not adding
interest and taXes) of the cost of land
labor and fertilizers. Now add to this
the value of the land to-day, $3.50, and
we have a dividend of $3.50 in four
years on an investment of 5000.
" Believing two experiments of this
kind to be better than one, in 1881 we
| bought twenty acres of fine clay loan
land that had been cropped for hay con-
| tinually for thirty years. | gave an
itemized statement of the expense OF
the field also in the Home Farm last
