No doubt but that the Republicans of
this State are badly ratified over the nomi-
nation of Albeit for Governor and that all
the talk about the ninety per cent. vote of
last year landing their candidate right
into the gubernatorial chair this year. is
given out more as balm than a boast.
They don't expect to get the ninety per
cent. vote Of last year, or if expecting it
are in mortal dread lest their opponents
garner az least ten per cent. above that
and then, what will the harvest be?''
OF course they expected the nomination
of Albeit. There was no surprise in that.
Everybody knew months in advance of the
convention, that there was a cut and dried
candidate in waiting for a cut and dried
platform. But there was little comfort in
that. The man seeking the place has be-
come the rule nowadays and the better the
seeker the more apt the finder. The old
relic of the primitive politics of our
country, handed down from former gener-
alton and is no better than screaming
farce nowadays. Well, if not exactly that,
is at best but superb nothing, fit only TO
be prated about by empty headed pro-
hibitionists, mugwumps and civil service
reformers '-but to return to Albeit That
the Republicans of New Jersey have the
same love for Albeit that the Old Boy is
reputed to have for holy water is without
doubt true; that they fear him quite as bad
as they dislike him is doubtless also true,
and they have reason for it. Admit him
the demagogue and knaye that is claimed
and the fact remains nevertheless that

Prof. Geo II. Cook, than whom there is
no better authority on plant food and its
adaptation to the soil, say that the farmers
OF New Jersey are paying too much for
their fertilizers and quotes a sample of
what is done at the Connecticut expert
ment station as hint OF what may be
done here. He says:
statistics secured by the Station, and
published in the annual report for 1888,
showed that the average composition of
mixed or complete fertilizers analysed
during that year was 2.77 per cent. nitro
gen, 500 per cent. available phosphoric
acid, 2.S2 per cent. insoluble phosphoric
acid, and 4.29 per cent. potash, and that
the average selling price was S34.S3 per
ton: in other words the nitrogen cost on an
average p cents per pound, available
phosphoric acid 10.2 cents, insoluble phNs-
phoric acid 3.S cents, and potash "a cents.
The same amount and kind Of plant-food
could have been bought that year at fac
tory, unmixed, and for cash, at an average
price of $21.42 per ton. The average
charge for mixing, freighting and selling
was therefore s741 per ton. In Bulletin
50 of the Connecticut Experiment Station.
containing the analysis and valuation of
eleven samples of home-mixed fertilizers,
it is shown THAT at the regular cash ton
prices of the trade, and including freight
charges and cost OF mixing, the average
cost of home mixed fertilizers was, at the
highest estimate, 1919, and the average
valuation 1883 per ton: that in no case
was the valuation less than the cost of
chemicals mixed; and further. that from
such raw materials as are in their markets,
without the aid of milling machinery, mix
lures can be and are annually made OH
the farm. which are uniform in quality,
fine and dry, and equal in all respects to
the best ready-made fertilizers This
work OF the Connecticut Station net only
confirms the results secured above as to
the saving effected by buying unmixed
materials, but also shows that raw mater
ials can be secured of such good mechani-
cal condition as to render ii entirely within
the power of the farmer, with ordinary
appliances, to make an excellent fertilizer.
It will be seen from the above that 500
about, will purchase the same materials
unmixed. that the farmer pays SGT for
mixed, a saving of about the value of seven
bushels of wheat on single ton, at the
present selling price. This is matter the
farmer should look into. Farming in the
Eastern and Middle States at the present
price of land, and farm help. and fertili-
zers. has become one OF the most unprofit-
able industries followed, and farmers
should make every effort to reduce ex-
penses and increase their gain.
