the coroner making no move to have
him taken. Why did not the coroner

sheriff placed under arrest. Some one

people of the state. The agricultural
industries, as such, have been but
slightly considered, and in asking for
legislation to advance their interests, at
cost that in itself is insignificant,
they are only asking for what is their

they do not get it,"
Notwithstanding the severity of the
Farmers criticism of the Massachu-

say to the rejection of such bill in a
legislature where the farmers were in a
large majority, or what would it think
of legislature of farmers abolishing
their state board of agriculture? The
chances for legislation favorable to ag-

The Availability of Rock Phosphate.

We are slowly working towards the
truth of this matter. We have already
recorded Mr.. Pitkin's failure to get any
good out of rock phosphate, and the
success of many others in this country
and in Europe. We have lately received
note from Professor E. F. Ladd of
the New York Agricultural Experiment
Station, in which he says:
81 am very much interested in your
articles on the solubility of phosphates,
and to note the ground you take as re-
CARDS the fine-ground phosphate rock.
In connection with my other chemical
studies at this station | have made some
study of this subject. am convinced
that the treatment of the rock with acid
is needless, but as yet have not sufficient
data to fortify such statement. Before
another fall / hope to show by labora-
tory experiments that too much stress
has been placed upon the acid treat
ment. Any experiments for or against
the argument will be most thankfully
received. That phosphoric acid may be
dissolved out, even from the rock, and
washed down through ten inches of soil
by means of carbonic acid water, have
demonstrated"
We heartily welcome the help of the
agricultural stations and colleges toward
the solution of such very important
questions to the farmer. If the acid
treatment is not necessary, then fertil-
izers can be made and sold as good as
now at half the present prices.
