MIXED TGANURES.
: Celebrated English Authority's Opinion
Upon Several Fertilizer Questions.

| = Celebrated English Authority's opinion
Upon Several Fertilizer Questions.
Rural New Yorker asked the follow
ing questions of Sir j. b. Lawes of
Rothomsted, England: Some fertilizer
Crms hold that their goods are superior
ID other goods because they use nitrogen
nd phosphoric acid in varied forms,
thus giving to plants the foods they need
MS needed For instance, phosphoric acid
is given in bone flour, in bone super
phosphate and guano-no rock. Nitro
gen is given in nitrate of soda, sulphate
IF ammonia, tankage, etc. Do you think
there is any decided advantage in this?
| Would it not be as we'll to use fine bone,
sulphate of potash or unleached ashes or
muriate of potash for most crops and
enough nitrate of soda to give more nj
irogen than the bone furnishes? The
question is, Would not farmers do bet
Ter to buy bone flour, nitrate of soda,
ETC., separately and spread them?
DR.. Lawes' reply was as follows: 81
san quite understand manure maker
preferring to sell compound manure,
and he is able to make large profit.
The prices of nitrate of soda, bone flour
and rock superphosphate are well
known, ana farmer can mix them in
the proportion he requires with much
less cost than he can purchase the mix
ture. The same holds good in food We
have any amount of cattle cakes in the
market. A man goes into the market,
purchases various grains, ETC., grinds
them, calls the substance cake and
charges about 60 or 93 per ton above
the cost of the raw substance To call
a thing q cake does not increase its feed
ing properties.
81 once wrote q paper on the subject
pointing out that cotton cake and lin
seed cake were the refuse Of the produc-
ton of oil, and that they would still be
made even if farmers did not purchase
them. So they sell exactly for the price
that farmers think it worth while to pay
for them and no more. [ have known
linseed cake to sell at Ga per ton, while
cotton cake would only make e5, and
now one sells for 81 and the other not
much less.
"With reference to farmers purchas-
ing their own manure, it may be said
generally that for grain crops bone is
hardly used at all; for wheat, if autumn
sown, only nitrate of soda is used; for
spring sown grain crops, mineral super
phosphate and nitrate of soda. Fine
ground bone is used upon some kinds of
soil for turnips, and it is also used for
pasture land. In my opinion bones act
! too slowly to be used for annual crops,
but they are Of great value as an ingre-
dent in compound manures for sugar
cane, etc.
1.-The food for plants and animals is
precisely the same. For plants, what
the soil does not supply the air does sup
ply; for animals what plants do not
supply the air supplies Instead of buy
ing meat, vegetables, milk, etc, at the
usual price, we may choose prepared
foods containing precisely the same con-
stituents and pay five times as much for
them. We pay others profit for mix
ing foods which we are unwilling to
mix

Black Head Disease of Turkeys.

Turkey raising has been abandoned in
southern New England on many farms,
owing to the prevalence of a disease
known as black head. In large proper
ton of the affected fowls the liver and
part of the intestines are badly dis
eased, these parts generally being spot
ted and in chronic cases are one mass of
hardened yellow Jumps. The Rhode Is
land agricultural experiment station at
Kingston has been Investigating the
trouble in cooperation with the United
States division of animal pathology,
and there is every reason to believe that
the disease is of an infectious nature. A
government expert has been detailed to
the station and will investigate the dis
ease and examine such diseased organs
and turkeys as can be supplied him by
the poultry division. Professor Samuel
Cushman invites the cooperation of
farmers in seeking out and securing birds
affected with or that have died from
black head and noting the full particu-
lars. The station desires information
from any one relating to the way in
which turkeys become infected, the age
at which they are most susceptible,
whether the disease affects the poultry
and full particulars of serious outbreaks
of any poultry disease. The information
obtained from the investigation will
also furnish data as to the necessity of
adequate measures for the state control
CT poultry diseases.
