Plaster as a Fertilizer,

The value of plaster as fertilizer has
long been mooted question which has
not yet been quite satisfactorily settled.
S. NJ Babcock of the Wisconsin expert
ment station theories thus on the sub
lect in the New England Farmer It
seems probable that the most important
effect of plaster is caused by it's power in
of setting free potash, and some other
elements of plant food, from ipsoluble
combinations in the soil making them
soluble and available. This hypothesis
Is made plausible by the fact that ash of
p'astered plants nearly always contains a
greater proportion of potash than that
OF plants not plastered. Moreover plas-
ter gives the best results upon clay soils
and others which contain considerable
potash IN an insoluble form. and favors.
those plants which require much potash
for their development. 1t is particular
iy clover manure, and generally gives
better results with this crop than any
other. The best results have been OBJ
tanned by application in moist wheather,
in the autumn or early spring, before the
crop has made much growth. It will then
be dissolved by the spring rains and
carried into the soil. Applications of
from 100 to 800 pounds per acre have
been recommended, the smaller amount
often producing as marked results as
more; about 200 hundred pounds is the
quantity generally used.

WenbOrne Il Co, Buffalo, n. Y, the very origi
nal ana interesting dialogue discussion between
paul "a young graduate) AND HIS FATHER" an
American Farmer, which appeared Serially three
years ago in The american Karat Home and at
tracted wide attention. The father is a thorough
" well posted man of affairs, who is theoretically
a freetrader, but practically. as al American,
strong defender of 4 judiciouS tariff. He thus
treats both sides very fairly and gives each, in
the dialogue, Il chance to be heard. lie discusses
general principles and under his theory that self
iShueSS must be the secret of success of inter.
national commercial policy, and self sacrifice the
secret of success in national commercial policy
he makes out a strong defense of simple protec
ton. In the matter Of wages, he holds that
wages begins and ends with production, and
hence if judcious protection stimulates produc-
ton, as lie holds, then judiciouS tariff maintains
the source of wages. This book makes men and
boys think. ltunfolds the dark mysteries of the
tariff simply and should have wide reading.
