RAW PhOsphnIes vs.. Dissolved Bone
RlncL.


Experiments were made last year and
the year before at the Connecticut agricul-
tural experiment station to test the value
Of raw phosphates or phosphates not treat
ed with acid, compared with dissolved bone
black Four kinds of raw phosphate were
used, viz. finely pulverized phosphate
rock from Grand Cayman island in the Car
ibbean sea, containing 2G - per cent phos-
phoric acid Thomas Stag, bog product Of
steel manufacture containing 10 e per cent
of phosphoric acid ground South Carolina
rock, containing -. per cent of phosphorc
acid, and Bolivian guano, containing l12
per cent of phosphoric acid The expert
ments were made on plots from land a.
nearly uniform in quality of soil as could
be selected, and which had not been manur-
ed for several years. On the first plot
quantity of dissolved bone black was used
which it was believed would insure a fair
yield and yet would not be in excess of the
needs of full crop but rather slightly de
iicient. A single plot vas given to each of
the raw phosphates, and they were used in
such quantity that the cost of each was lust
equal TO the cost Of the dissolved bone black
ON the first plot. Two or more plots receiv-
ed no phosphate, and thus served to show
the natural capacity of the soil itself to
supply phosphoric acid to the crop
The same money value of phosphate be
ing applied To each plot, allowed the use of
more on the plots having the raw phos-
pilates, because the cost of these, per pound,
was less. Consequently, in case of an
equally good result in the first crop, the use
of the raw phosphate would be the most
economical, because more would be left in
the soil after taking of the crop. These
experiments proved the raw phosphates, in
several cases, 10 benefit the crop as much
as an equal money value of dissolved or sol
uhle phosphate, while in another case, ON
different land and in different season,
" the dissolved bone black Welded from
nearly three To ten times as many sound
ears of corn as any of the raw phosphates
In this experiment there were hardly any
sound ears where no phosphate was used
The dissolved bone black in this case Weld
ed twice the money return of any other
phosphate but this result it is supposed,
may be rather exceptional, caused by the
quicker action of the dissolved phosphate
in a short, cold season like last summer.
The report says that in general it has
been shown that in some cases the raw phos
pilates may be more profitable TO use than
dissolved phosphate, that their effects are
more lasting. and that the immediate effect
in some cases may be as great as that of
the same money value of dissolved phos-

Oats are beyond question the best crop

their grass and clover seed upon well ma

would only give their oat crop a liberal
quantity of manure which it will repay
with good interest, they can always get a
good catch Of grass and clover on the land.
-ImcricdH igricHiUriSt
In this state oats are generally sown
when ground is seeded TO grass in the
spring but not because this grain is con
sidered the best for this purpose. Seeding
to grass with oats is practiced because this
grain i, considered the surest crop that can
Ice put in early in the spring. Oats exhaust
the soil more than most other cereals. Of

Conl A.he. for Prui, Tree..

There can be no doubt that coal ashes
spread under fruit trees are often very
helpful, and as they show little or no ma
nurial value, there is often difficulty in ex-
planning their good effects One way they
help is to make a mulch Coal ashes are
light, and the fact that they have not much
manurial value makes them all the better
for keeping down grass, which depletes the
soil of the moisture that the trees need
Three or four inches depth of coal ashes
spread under trees keep the soil beneath
moist and cool If they are spread on sod
they kill the grass, and this with the de
caying sod roots makes a fine feeding place
for the roots of the tree 1t is probable.
also, that under this mulch the soil itself
undergoes important chemical changes,
fitting its manurial elements for absorption

No PROM wi,houl WorI,.

We are told in print that IAN acre of
fruit especially Strawberries, will some
times pay better than five acres of grain
That depends A good many men have
tried planting an acre of strawberries and
figured out a rather heavy loss at the end
of their experiments. We venture TO state,
on personal experience, that whoever at
tempts it will learn that TO make an acre
Of Strawberries pay anything will require
as much labor and expense as 10 secure
good crop Of grain on 20 acres of the same
land. In the general way of management,
the more land one puts into strawberry
culture by the acre, the less money he will
take out Dir H0SjtinS.

such fodder Many farmers say that their
cows never did better than they did last

This remarkable woman, who or June

IL deserving of a more expended notice,
says the Argus and Patriot, from
which we quote
"She was the daughter Of Maj or Caleb
S ark, vino. was the eldest son Of Gen.
John Stark, of Revolutionary fame
Had she lived until Thursday, July 4,
she would have been 80 years of age.
Ten brothers and sisters have preceded
her to the grave, and for few years she
has been the last surviving member OF
the family. A large pUril n OF her life
was spent in DunbartOu. n H., where
he was born, and in the fine old house
which has 30 long been famous for the
hospitality diIpen-ed there, as we'll III
for its many associations with dlslir-
guished and well-known persons. Al
the centennial celebration Of the battle
of Bennington, in 1877, NJ S. Stark was
present by special invitation, and at the
close Of the exercise was introduced to
the vast assemhlsg,. She was then more
than rs years old, yet her dignity and
gracious manners made great impress
sion on all who saw her on that occasion
In her youth she was strikingly hand {.
some and nobble-looking woman, and
old age did not efface many of the traces
and evidences OF her former beauty
Those who have had the privilege Of
knowing her can never forget the stately
gracious courtesy with which she receiv.

were old fashioned, but they were sim
pie and unaffected, and they had a sort
Of distinguished quality in them which
made them very charming and impress

in New Fngland to-day than Miss Stark Z

surrounded by friends and guests, and
she spared no pains or trouble to make
them happy and give them pleasure
Her generous, sympathizing heart and
social disposition, with an honorable
family tradition of hospitality, combin'
cd to make Miss Stark's house a delight
full place to visit.
She was faithful and devoted to bel
friends. For those allied to her by bloot
abe had the strongest and most warn
affection. She was unfailingIy kind To
the people in her employ, and many
J deeds Of charity aud kindness was done
by her so quietly as to be known to bu
few. The little Church which stand or

literally in other ways towards its cree

In q recent issne of the BANNER thei G
appeared an article copied from the Her
aid relating to the South WallIngford
man, G. w. Bradley, bore a pert.
Through his exertiOns the Carnegie
Bros, have purchased the Old Brandon
mining company's property and become
further interested in Western Vermont.
1t is well known that this great concern
never take hold of phantoms-'hat when
they move it is for purpose, and the
fact that they have become owners OF
extensive deposits Of manganese, and
possibly workable beds OF hematite Cres
promises to boom this part of Vermont
in a manner not before dreamed of. We
think common justice should give the
credit therefor to Mr.. Bradley, hence
these remarks.
The Bradley Patent Butter Packer
works that are now situated in Sunder
land will be moved to Manchester Depot
in September, into the new building thai
has just been completed. This building
ia situated on the east side of the rail
road track, but few rods north of the
depot. 1t is two stories high and il
40x80 feet, and will contain a new IS
horse power engine and boiler and al
the machinery for the manufacturing o.
the packages. The lower part of thi
machinery will be entirely new and o
the most imp owed pattern. The com
pany will also erect another large build
ing, either this fall or in the spring
which will be used as packing ant

time 30 hands are employed.

by conscience, and holding up before
herself high standard Of conduct. No
one who knew her could Ioubt tie siI
cerity Of her religious convictions, NOT
her honest desire and purpose to do her
wholly duty to God and man.
MISS Stark's death was due TO old age.
She retained to the last day Of her life
an uuclouded mind and great bodily
energy. But The vital powers were
spen', and after few hours Of difficult
breathing she quietly passed away:
Thus ended long, active, and well
spent life, and its remembrance will be
sweet to relatives and friends for many
years to come.
