During the past decade many tests

ers. to determine the actual avallaDll-
ity of this form of phosphoric ACID, as
comnared with that in Apatite, South
Carolina phosphate, and other mineral
nhosphates. as we'll as superphosphates.
The summary of these experiments
NAV be given as follows:
/. The superior value which mas
hitherto been accorded to undissolved
bone-meal as fertilizer is due sole
" to the nitrogen which it contains.
2. Undissolved bone-meal as a pnos-
nhate fertilizer is no more valuaoie
than are the raw mineral phosphates'
Hereafter it must be ciassed WIKI
the latter, rather than with high grade
nhosphates containing available pnos-
phoric acid.
l. AS phosphate fertilizer 1t yields
no better results than mineral phos-
phates. whether tried alone or WIN
superphosphate, on loans or sandy
soils on soils rich or very poor in phos-
phoric acid, whether with grains OF
with turnips, mustard, or otner cru
c,ferous plants; either in the fret or IN
succeeding crops.
The various kinds Of bone-meal
show no essential difference in these
results.
G. The best form in which to apply
hone-meal is as dissolved bone-meal,

Farming for = Living.

There is no gainsaying the fact that
II farmers would farm more for liv-
ing and not simply to make money,
they would live better and make more
money, too, says Southern Cultivator.
The essential thing to do. and it is Of
prime Importance, is to produce all the
food crops on the farm that are neces-
sary to sustain the necessary laborers
and stock and a surplus for market.
On farms remote from market, farmers
cannot successfully diversity their ag-
ricultural pursuits. With the establish
ment of good roads and manufacturing
enterprises throughout the country, the
demand will be increased and the abll-
ity to transport products enlarged. But
it will pay the farmer to rotate his
crops and diversity them sufficient ia
meet his own wants at home. Let him
not only build up his nome, but his
land. No handsome residence with all
the evidences of thrift and happiness
looks in place on a farm whose soil II

briars and brambles.
