Chemical or Organic Manures.

Mr.. E. S. Hubbard's article in issue of
June 9Th of Dispatch, Farmer and Fruit
Grower raises the question, or issue, of
chemical or organic fertilizers. like the
article; it is quite scholarly, and smacks
of pretty fine science, but [ am not
ready yet to concede to his way of think
ing. would like here to enter protest
against the use of chemical fertilizers, for
the main reason that we are too liable to
be cheated. think the Northern fertil-
izer mixers have had ''soft thing" of it
getting up compounds for the Florida
orange growers, as we'll as the commits
sion men in Handling" our fruits. We
have thus been between the neither and
upper millstones about long enough, and
/ think that we had better come out
crushed and broken even than not at all.
Reasoning from analogy and from the
lessons of nature around and about us,
and taking the experiences of some of my
neighbors, am not inclined to the idea
OF chemical fertilizers even if we could de-
pend On getting whatwe ask and pay for.

dying out and a frierd says to you how
much will you give toward replacing the
mans house? Suppose that man has
ten ne;ghbors all told, will you give one
tenth?
The case of the far mers is a still worse
one and the inquiry can be put, will you
give one-tenth of your annual income
from year to year, or in other words will
you accept of a reduction of your daily
earnings to nineteenth their present rate?
You need not answer this question, for if
you are not willing to double this conces-
sion it is useless for meto ask your atten-
ton to the only practical solution that I
can conceive of. 1t is about as near to
folly as anything can be to ask of others
to set the farmers right; ones only an
swer tobe looked for would be a scornfull
hiss. Now our hope is that the farmers
may unite and demand theirrights. For
twenty-f years they have been robbed
outrageously to pay to nearly every
other worker in this country fifty per
cent. additional for his work Or produce.
And now the day OF reckoning is nigh at
| hand, presuming the statement to be
approximately correct that the farmers
of the United States have now an aggre-
gate of $4,5OO,OO0of mortgage incum-
brance, let me ask how is this vast
sum going to be paid? can compare it
to nothing but to the national debt of
England Great Brittany and that no
one ever expects will be paid.
There is worse thing now to consider
than this immense debt, it is how the
farmers are going to pay their present
expenses and save what they have left?
1t will require about One-ffth OF every
other workers earnings to enable the
farmer to do this last fair and square
outcome. All talk of high wages, Or of
more currency Or OF higher protection is
only delusion. A. F. BOYCE.

We value everything in this world by
comparison. Water and air have no
intrinsic value, and yet Jay Gould, if
furnishing in the desert, would give all
his wealth for pint of the former, and
think it cheap; hence, life and health
are the standard of all values. If your
system is full of Malaria you will be
very miserable; few doses of Shallen-
berger's Antidote will make you well
and happy. Is one dollar high price
to pay?

State AGENT FOR
THE NATIONAL LINSEED OIL COMPANY, Chicago III

To illustrate: Some time ago went
into house in Tampa and asked for sui
plate of potash they sold me some stuff
so branded by firm of some repute, but
if that was sulphate of potash the next
was not. Once before [ bought a lot of
dirty salt which the party said was mu-
rate of potash. And again villianous
mixture of salt and untreated rock And
several lots of stuff that no one but q
chemist could tell anything at all about.
Just the other day neighbor applied
four tons of what he paid for as bone and
potash, but the results do not show that
it was such.
am not certain that I ever got any
results from any of the commercial COM
pounds that | have bought. am not
aware of any beneficial results from even
what was satisfied was sui phate of pot
ash. But when put on these organic
substances and common sense matter |
can rest assured OF returns and results.
[ like the cutaway harrow for chopping
up and mixing the fall growth of weeds
and grass with the soil and applying the
fertilizers with the matter so mixed up,
but it would seem best to use the organic
stuff, as that in it's heating and decaying
also hastens the destruction of the mat
ter in contact. And again, cotton seed
meal and bone meal, let us use, will be-
come soluble and available gradually and
yield it's elements as the tree may need
them, lasting thus from the first to the
end OF the season. If we need potash, it
may be applied after the other, and in the
shape of cotton hull ashes on top of the
the ground.
The clean culture and chemical fertil-
izers will keep down over-production. l
do not want to be understood as not IA
voring partial culture, enough to keep
down too dense growth of grass; weeds
should not be allowed to grow except in
the middles Of young groves or where
chemicals have been applied.
The remedy for Mr.. III. s so per cent. of
failures is in the use of home made fertil-
izers-in composts Of stable and COW lot
scrapings and chicken droppings, with
water closet and wash house Stops liber-
ally mixed with forest leaves and trash
land certain kinds of muck and this mat
ter be applied to about one quarter of the
present area, or from five to ten acres
better five. 1t is ''pride that goeth be-
fore fall, J." greed that causes the loss of
all. VIM. p. NEELD.

Can Farming be Made to Pay?


come from the use OF the soil, unless we
except lumber, and this is an industry
by itself and rather outside of agricult-
ure Fruit growing, gardening, cattle
raising, tobacco, cotton, rice, sugar,
fibre plant growth, wool, as we'll as
grain, or dairy products, pork, poultry.
etc., etc., may fifty be called products of
the soil and pertaining to agriculture.
The inquiring is, will it pay us to con-
tinue in growing these crops? Some are
dsheartened at the prospect because OF
such high rates Of transportation prevail
ing, some because of what they deem an
excessive production now existing; some
because prices of farm and garden and
grove productsare too low and no money
can be found in their growth, except it is
under cases that are exceptionally favor
ably. We desire to state the question
fairly, and those who can see no money in
growing crops at present appearance to
be quite sensible, and in business point
of view are seemingly sound in Judge
ment.
The situation, as we understand it, is
that farm crops are not at present re-
munerative to the extent Of comfort
able livelihood above their necessary eX-
penses. If the ground here taken is cor
rect we are forced to look for the cause OF
this adverse condition. Let us get at
q point of agreement Or else all
efforts to reason on the matter will be
useless, from confusion of ideas or
opinions. If then we are in agreement
that farming does not at present pay q
fitting return, let us inquire, is not the
country at large prosperous? Arewe not,
as a people, rowing in wealth, and COM
Portable HON es, and industrial enter
prises and magnificent edifces, etc., etc?
UnquestiOnably is this the case. Why
then should not the farmers be prosper
GUS? Some writer's have taught that
farming was the basis of a cOuntry's
prosperity-and ours especially sO-and
from force of necessity farmers must be
prosperous because others were. The
situation quite warrants another conclu-
sion, that farmers may SO contribute to
the prosperity of others as to have moth
ing left for themselves. Upon this con-
clusion comes the query can such con-
dition long continue?
Even if it could, is it desirable that it
should? This brings us back to our lead
ing inquiry, "Can farming be made to
pay?" We answer yes! twill cost some
thing to accomplish it. 1t can not be
brought about Immediately because Of
this very reason, it's cost and an unwil-
lingness on the part of most all those who
are not farmers to contribute that which
alone can restore farming to prosper
GUS footing. Suppose your neighbours
house burns down to the ground, and he
has no insurance, and worse yet has a
mortgage incumbrance thereon; you
stand beside the ruins as the embers are
