*AVailahle phosphurlc acid,
Both species OF ribbon weed oh ktIp are
common on the rocks of our coast. ut and
below low water mark, and the round and
flat stalked rockweeds constitute at least
three -fourthS of the covering of the rocks
and stones between tide marks. These
are seedweeds proper, belonging to the
group of marine algae. Eel grass is not 4
true seaweed, but belongs to the pom l.
weed family, group Of (mosuy fresh
wateT) aquatic plants. The seaweeds
proper rapidly decompose 50 that their
tertiliZing constituents become speedily
available. This is not true of eel grass,
which more nearly resembles straw.
While chemical analysis shows it to have
nearly as much nitrogen, phospholic acid
and potash as the sea weeds, it is only
! with difficulty that they can be made
available. Storer says, 1T will hardly
| rot anywhere, either III the ground, in the
hog-sty, CT i'll the manure on compost
| heap AS the sea needs proper decom-
pose readily and have no power of absorb
ing liquids, there is no advantage Of com
posting them, and they are best applied
directly IN tie green state.
| SeaN eeds produce their chief effect tie
first season. This adds to rather than
detracts ilom their value as a fertilizer,
since when rhcy can be obtained At all,
they can usually be had one year AS ell
as another and car be applied annually.
The analyses Show that sea weeds are
not evenly balanced manures. They con
tain relatively considt rable amounts Of
nitro gen and potash and but little phos-
| pho1iC acid. 1t would take 4 large amount
| OF SeaWetd to supply sufficient phospboric
acid ion a crop, and because of he cost
| Of hauling very few would be situated 50
! that it could be thus used. Continual
cropping with ordinary amounts OF sea
weed would teud to exhaust the phos-
/ pholic cid in the soil 1t is, therefore,
generally more economical to supply the
needed phospl eric acid in the foIln Of
/ steamed bone oI South Carolina acid rock.
/ oeaNeeds have in common with com
mercial fertilizers the advantage q free
! dom from weeds, the spores OF fungi and
| the eggs If insects. Practical farmers in
Rhode Island say, almost unanimously,
that o(atoes grown on sea weed are
1 smoother and Ireer from scab than those
/ grown On stable manure.

The social entertainments in oDserv-
ance of Thanksgiving, the first OF the
winter holidays, while not especially
elaborate, were very numerous, and all
proved very enjoyable. Recent deaths
have caused the postponement OF sew
eral functions which had been planned.
Church affairs were many, and the gen
eral report from these entertainments
indicates financial successes. The hrst
of December has passed, and less than
four weeks will intervene until the
mid-winter holidays arrive. The season
will be devoted to shopping expedi-
lions, but not to the exclusion of social
advertisement, since all of the clubs
will hold their usual meetings, and a
number of delightful affairs have been
planned.
