Inert Matter.


Does the inert matter found in fertil-
izers injure it. Why is it put in?
J. c. B.,
. Jessup.
Ordinarily the inert matter placed in
fertilizers, unless fraud is intented is to
reduce the grade. To illustrate it some
times happens that manipulation or
manufacturer to save freight rates and
obtain the greatest quantity of plant
food at the least cost, purchases goods
the percentages of which run much
higher thar usual. For these high
grade goods there is little demand and
the quality is reduced by mixing in
what is called q filler. When the filler
is thoroughly n1ixed SO as to secure uni
form distribution and the@oods sold on
the basis OF tbS giant food actually CO, :
tanned the farmer loses nothing. The
worth of fertilizer can be safely
judged from the chemical analysis, and
if the analysis shows the good equal to
the guarantee, and the machinicaI con-
ditiop good, it is immaterial whether
the fertilizer was made out of low grade
goods or high grade material reduced
by mixing filler.
HERDS GRASS.
Is there any difference between
Herds grass and timothy. H. L. T.
Herds grass in all parts of the United
States except New England is idendical
with red top and not timothy. In New
England timothy is known as Herds
grass, as it was introduced by man
name Herd from whom it took it's
name. In reading agricultural papers
from this section the distinction should
be borne in mind.
MELON ROOT ROT.
Will you please give me the cause of
melon root rot? H. l. G.
In another part of this report you
will find an answer to similar ques-
ton as regards root rotin cotton. While
we are not prepared to express positive
views we are inclined to the opinion
that the same fungus produces root rot
in melons.

Nothing can be more widely dif>
ferent than the likes and disli2es of
people. What pleases some is OBJ
noxious to others, and so it is utterly
impossible for any one thing to
please everybody.

The great armored cruiser, New
York, has gone into commission.
She is declared to be the superior of
any cruiser in the world. This is
because she excels them all in speed,
in protection to her machinery and
battery power-which render value
less the fact that some few European
cruisers carry slightly heavier guns
than the New York.
