The Danger.

The danger now is that over
confidence in our ability to carry
the State aud District for the Dem.
ocratic candidates will cause many
to remain away from the polls. A
loss Of a few Democratic votes at
every precinct in the State would
give the State to the Republicans.
Therefore we desire to impress up
on every Democrat The necessity Of
casting his vote on next Tuesday.

The Stock Of Gold.

A correspondent writes: you might
have made much stronger statement on
the gold export question than you did.
We have been importing, as we'll as pro-
ducing, gold for the last few years, and if
we were now to export $100,000,000 in
gold we should still have nearly half a
billion more on hand. You differ from
most partisans, in understanding your
case" Dear correspondent, we are unable
to see why any farmer should be parti-
san in the discussion of financial ques.
tions. If we are partisan, we wonder
where our party is We are only seeking
for the truth and, as we find it, laying it
before our readers. The real partisans
on the money questions of the day are the
bullionists and the spectators, and the
sad fact is that they control, by their
wealth, not only the press, but the votes of
many Legislators who are paid "a less
price, it is true) to represent the people.
Farmers are interested in having square,
steady and well-based currency, just as all
regular business men are. Various theo-
ries are afoat as to the best way to secure
such currency, but naturally the theory
gets the widest circulation that is for the
interest of men who can pay for the most
advertising. These theories are not the
ones, however, that will bear testing by
the facts of history in financial matters.
Finance, like farming, is strictly practi-
cal matter, and all financial theories Qike
all agricultural theories) that cannot stand
upon the facts of experience are worthless,
except to delude the people for the profit
of spectators.

Second Report on Fertilizers.

In Secretary Cuttings second report we
see nothing to criticise. 1t is plain,
sensible showing, by which any intelligent
farmer can learn just what he is buying
when he purchases barrel, or ton, of
any of these licensed brands. In regard
to the fertilizers themselves, several curl
GUS things are to be observed. One of
the most curious is that the several brands
of the different makers are, in most cases,
different only in their names. There was
time when Bradley's XII was better than
his other brands, and for that reason it
was more popular. But now the analyses
show nearly equal composition and equal
value in all his brands, except that there
is onethird more potash in the Sea Fowl
Guano, with less "soluble" phosphoric
acid, so as to make the figures of value
the same as the others, within few cents.
The same is to be noticed in Bowker's
Phosphate and Bowker's Dissolved Bone,
while his Hill and Drill has more nitro
gen and his Stockbridge more potash.
Another curious thing is that all the max
ers seem to have agreed to manufacture
equivalent brands upon substantially the
same standard, and to give their custom
ers about $50 worth 10y the Experiment
Stations values y in ton. They can
afford to do fifty per cent better than
that, at their present prices.

Commercial Fertilizers.
REPORT OF CHEMIST AND SECRETARY OF BOARD
OF AGRICULTURE.

The following analyses by Professor A.
II. Sabin, state chemist, include the av-
ersge of three analyses, as directed by
law. The samples were carefully drawn
and largely, from different carload lots,
that the average may be fair for farmer
and manufacturer. The methods used
are determination of phosphoric acid in
absence of iron and aluminium by urani-
um method in presence of iron and alu-
minum by Pemberton's molybdate of
ammonia method; potash, by precipita.
tion with platinum chlorides, and nj
trogen by combustion with soda lime.
The latter does not give nitrogen present
as nitrates, but is the common method.
That the farmer may understand their
relative value I figure their worth accord
ing to the Connecticut standard: Nitro
gen at eighteen cents per pound; solu-
able phosphoric acid at ten cents, re-
verted phosphoric acid at eight cents, in
soluble phosphoric acid at six cents, and
potash at five cents. adopt this, not be-
cause consider it the best way to figure
it, but because it is uniform with the
tables printed by the Connecticut Expert
ment Station, and go comparisons can be
made with their work. If it was to show
the actual value of chemicals, this state
ment is nearly or quite twenty per cent.

actual advantages to the farmer, derived
from his purchases, it is more than that
much too low. 1t is at best an arbitrary
standard, without reason for its basis, as
it should represent the actual market val
ne, or its actual average worth to the far
mer. Should you subtract one.fifth, it
would approximate actual value of chem
icals; or, add one-third, and it will ex-
press near the advantage the farmer will
gain from its purchase in average years.
Yet both are only approximates, while the
figured value is simply in conformity with
custom. / am complained of for taking
the lowest guaranteed analysis from the
packages, yet that is all they have to have
in to conform to our law, and did take
the average, it would place nearly all where
there would have to be prosecutions 30 ]
print this legal analysis, and would ask the
farmer to calculate that he is getting but
little more, as rule, than that represents
and the vendor is safe if he gives him
even the lowest amounts specified. OF

LIQUID Manure.

A great deal is being said on this sub
ject, but am aware that very few farmers
save any part of the liquid, and still prac-
tice the old-fashioned way of disposing of
it, which is to bore holes in the floor and
let it through, carryipgwith it part of
the solid. Many of the farmers do not
cover the solid manure with any kind of
shed, losing about one-third the value.
have been saving the liquid, or part of
it, for about ten years, by using dry muck,
which is very expensive, but has always
paid good profit. Last fall 1 put in
thirty two-horse loads of dry dirt, which
has held out until now, April 80. The
cost of getting the thirty loads as
IS. The way l get the dirt is to
plough piece of sod land near the barn,
or not far away, and let the turf dry I;
then drive on the piece and take off the
dry part. drive into the barn floor and
dump it through a seuttle into the bin,
which is directly behind the COWS. 1
should have said that this quantity was
used for fifteen head of cattle. Is there
better way of saving the liquid manure
l have used the liquid without the alb
sorbent, but with poor results. Do you
think it as valuable in liquid form

REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDIToR.-
We refer Mr.. Stone to the article of Mr..
Jameson on the question of "Liquid Ma.
nure." In regard to night soil, its value
as a fertilizer is very much overestimated.
We have never found it as good as rich
stable manure that has been worked over
by hogs. 1t is best prepared for use by
mixing it in thin layers with equal parts
of good common soil, letting it stand a
month, and then shoveling it over once or
twice before applying it to crops.
As to manuring in the hill, our thirty
years. experience in farming and garden
ing has thoroughly satisfied us (notwith-
standing it is an old practice derived from
the Indians, who taught our ancestors to
put two behring's in each hill Of corn) that
more good is got by spreading the manure
broadcast, without the risk of hurting
the seed by the strength of the manure,
or of drying up the roots in drouth.
Don't be afraid that the crop cannot find
the manure when spread. AS DR.. Cut
ting says, "you cannot hide it where the
roots cannot get it.

IT is stated in French agricultural
journals that French cheese-makers are
not satisfied unless they get from $3.50 to
5000 per annum from each COW. This is
owing to their experiences and thorough.
ness in the manufacture of cheese, and
each particular agricultural district of
France has attained celebrity for the
making of some particular variety of
cheese.
