WHILE considerable ftin has been
poked at ex-senator ingalls, for going
on the lecture platform, yet In his first
public effort he told some mighty home
ly truths.
There is class of people who think
everyone should be on an equality as
regards wealth and that Congress
should simply order money coined by
the ton and distributed around. On
this point the ex-senator said: "If all
the wealth of the United States were to
be equally divided now, in six months
there would be some people riding In
palace cars, some in buggies, some
would be walking and some would be
sitting in the fence corners watching
the procession go by. Above nll," he
added, "there would be heard again
the voice of the irrepressible reformer
earning his livelihood by the perspira'
ton of his jaw rather than by the
sweat of his brow. If some men were
rich and others were poor, it was the
fault of the Creator"

Reports Of Timely Subjects From the
State Agricultural Experiment
Station-Strawberry Blight
Home Made Fertilizers.

Professor HI. Garman, EEtomologist
and Botanist of the Kentuckey Expert
ment Station, reports In Bulletin 81 of
that Station series of Experiments in
the application of Bordeaux mixture to
strawberry plants for the prevention of
leaf blight, from which he draws the
following conclusions:
l. Injury from strawberry leaf-blight
can be largely prevented by the use of
Bordeaux mixture and eau celeste, and
to some extent by potassium sulphide
and London purple.
2. Bordeaux mixture is much superior
to the other preparations used.
3. Applications of Bordeaux mixture
should be made as often as once in two
weeks. From the complete exposure of
the leaves to rain, the mixture is remov-
ed from strawberry leaves much soon
er han from grape leaves or those of
trees.
4. Prepared according to the formula
of Bluestone 81 pounds; lime, 81 pounds;
water, % gallons; it may be sprayed
without the slightest injury to leaves.
5. Twenty two gallons of the mixture
is sufficient for spraying during one
summer 1874 feet of strawberry plants,
as commonly planted in rows; and will
cost for materials. considering bluest
one worth cents per pound, and lime
worth l cent per pound, filty-six cents.
BY buying materials In quantity, this
cost can be reduced.
6. A removal of the blighted leaves
in summer, without subsequent spray
ing, will increase instead OF diminish
injury from blight.
HoME-MIXED FERTILIZERS.
The following notes on the home
mixing of fertilizers, taken from the
annual report of the Maine experiment
Station, are as applicable to Ohio as to
Maine: The mixing of fertilizers on the
farm through the use of chemicals and
raw materials does not seem to have
been undertaken to any extent by
Maine farmers, although it is lcleary
shown that intelligent farmers of other
states, Connecticut for instance, are
| finding it profitable to adopt this
method of obtaining commercial man
ures. During the years 1887 and 1888
| the Connecticut Experiment station ex-
amined twenty-one fertilizers mixed
by farmers from chemicals purchased
by themselves, and the analyses shows:
l. These home mixtures compared
favorably in composition with the best
factory made fertilizers.
| 2. The home mixtures had satisfac-
tory mechanical.
8. The ingredients of the home mix
lures cost the co nsumers on an average
from 20 to 25 per cent. less than if pur.

chased in factory made fertilizers, after
allowing So per ton for cost mixing.
1t is not claimed that all farmers
would find it profitable to mix their
own fertilizers from chemicals, but it is
believed that there are many farmers In
the state 80 situated with reference to
markets and transportation that they
could buy and mix chemicals with
profit. This could be better done, per-
haps, by an association of farmers, SO
that by the purchase and transportation
of large list at one time, saving could
be made in prices and freights.
If any farmer or association of farm
ers is disposed to give this matter q
trial, the station will advise, whenever
desired, as to the pepper selec'
tion Of materials, formulas.

UPPER SANDUsKY Union:-As a sam
pie of how the Findley real estate boom
has gone glimmering, the Hancock
county Agricultural Society last Mon
day purchased the Hull tract Of land
consisting of seventy-seven acres, and
lying on South Main street. at what Is
known as Chamberlain hill, to be used
as a fair ground. Three years ago this
tract was laid out in lots, which were
placed on the market at prices ranging
from S125 to $500 per lot. Now the
owners gladly sold the entire tract for q
little more that 500 per acre, when
certainly is quite reduction from the
former price, and undoubtedly the
syndicate who owned the lapd con-
gratulate themselves that they even
realized that small sum.
