STAUNToN, VA, May Goth, 1885.
am pleased TO be able to speak favorably of
fertilizer manufactured by Mr.. Reeves Gait
of this city.
After careful analysis found it to contain
about the average percentage of phosphoric
acid and potash of the best high-grade fertili-
considerably higher In this fertilizer, the
price falls several dollars below its comm ercial
value. This Is point greatly in its favor.
This comm ercial value must be understood
to be appreciated 1t is a value of SO much per
pound placed upon each constituent; take am
monia for instance: A committee of chemists
of the various State Agricultural Experiment
Stations, which made these valuations, has
placed value of twenty cents per pound upon
ammonia. Now let US take this fertilizer it
contains upwards of three per cent. of ammo
mia. This would be over sixty pounds to the
ton, or value for ammonia alone of more than
twelve dollars per ton. The sum of the value
of the other constituents found in The same
way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent condition for
drilling, owing to its low percentage of mois-
ture. FRANK w. TRAPHAGEN, Phi. D.

The blessings which are diffused by wheat pro-

alike distribute benefits in many forms, from
the improving systems of husbandry 1t teaches
especially in charging the area OF agricultural
and pastoral pursuits, and forming the base for
obtaining winter food for live stock of all kinds.
By increasing the resources for sustaining and
multiplying the number of cattle, sheep. hogs.
and horses is realized rapid progress to wealth
and independence. Wheat. and its associates in
soil production, the grasses. accomplish all this
quicker than any rotation of crops which can
be introduced.

and enterprise in her mills. AS large as the
grinding capacity is. there is room for more and
