Reproductive Power of Memory.

As the child, flashing about him bit
Of burning stick, may seem to make
circle of flame because the flame point
moves SO quickly, SO memory, though it
does go from point to point and dwells
for some inconceivably minute instant
on each part of the remembrance, may
yet be gifted with such lightning speed,
with such rapidity and awful quickness
of glance, as that to the man himself
the effect shall be that his whole life
is spread out there before him in one
instant, and that he, godlike, sees the
end and the beginning side by side. -

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and

OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
STATION.
Bone and Rock Phosphates-AF Five
Year Comparison in the Fields
Between Bone Z hosphate, Car
olina Rock and Basic Stag.
Newspaper Bulletin. No. 1885, J

The Ohio Experiment Station has
for several years been carrying on a
series of experiments in which certain
tracts of land were kept continuously
under the same crop-corn, wheat or
oats-each tract being subdivided in
to plots of one-tenth acre each, and
each plot treated year after year with
q certain combination of chemica fer
tilizers.
On three of these plots nitrate of
soda and muriate of potash have been
used each year, in equal quantities on
each plot, with the addition on one
plot of superphosphate of lime, made
by treating boneblack with sulphuric
acid, on another plot acid phosphate,
which is Carolina rock, treated with
sulphuric acid, and on the third plot
basic or Thomas Stag, otherwise
known as 'odorless phosphate" @
finely ground material containing
phosphoric acid in combination, be-
ing waste product of the manufac-
ture of steel from phosphate iron
ores. 1t is calculated that each plot
receives each year the same quantity
of phosphoric acid as the others, but
Iii ~ ulleTeuU 10TH.
In these experiments every third
plot is left continuously without any
fertilizer whatever, and consequently
each fertilized plot lies between two
unfertilized ones, one Immediately ad-
joining and one removed the width Of
one plot which is 16 feet.
In these experiments corn has now
been grown six years in succession on
the same land, wheat five years and
oats four years. In the following
table is given the average yield and
increase in bushels per acre for the
crop under the different fertilizers for
the entire period
Fertilizer Corn Wheat Oats
Diss. bone-black 43 40 56
Acid phosphate 7.3 AZ 6.5
Basic Stag 72 4,6 10
Dissolved bone black now costs
about $25 per ton in Ohio, acid phos-
phate about SIT per ton, and "odor-
less phosphate" about $23 per ton,
freight included in each case. AT
these prices a pound of phosphoric
acid costs about seven cents in dis
solved bone black and about six cents
in acid phosphate or basic Stag. Judg-
ing from the results of these expert
ments the Ohio farmer will do well to
cancel his prejudice against rock
phosphate and buy either the Carroll
ma rock or basic Stag, remembering
that it is the acid phosphate which
was used in these tests, not the crude
Carolina rock or "floats.n Dissolved
bone black would contain about 16
per cent. available phosphoric acid,
acid phosphate about IA per cent. and
basic Stag about 20 per cent, and the
purchaser should require guaranty
that the material will show within
one per cent. of these quantities on
analysis.
