PLYING SOIL WITH PLANT
FOOD.-NOTES ON THE Elk
DETRIMENTAL FARM.
NO. 2.
Last week we introduced our
sceptics from the North and West
to Capt. McNair, of the Expert
mental Farm, and invited our
readers to join us for tour OF the
place. The introduction over, we
are all requested to put our names
on the visitors register in the Of
flee We are not surprised, on
looking through the pages Of this
book, to see many names OF ma
tional reputation and to learn that
all of the states in the Union, as
we'll as many foreign countries,
are represented. We glance at a
case on one side Of the office which
suggests section Of drug store.
Rows of large glass jars, labeled in
regulation drug store" style are
there and we imagine for a minute
that they contain an assortment OF
condition powders, for the horses,
COWS and other live stock on the
farm. We ask about them and get
our first knowledge Of the scien-
tilic side of fertilizing, and incident
ally of successful farming and
fruit raising in North Carolina, or
in any other place. We are told
that this jar contains KANT, that
one, Carnallit, another, Sylvanit,
all in their crude form, as they
come from the mine, for they do
come from mines, and look just
like chips Of granite or marble.
Another set of jars contains muir
ate Of potash, sulphate OF potash,
phosphate and nitrate of soda; and
still another set contains all OF
these in various proportions and
com oinations. We are told that
muriate and sulphate Of potash are
derived from KANT, and that pot
ash, nitrogen, and phosphoric acid,
or phosphate, are the three always
essential plant foods, or fertilizlng
elements. No one, no two, OF
these elements can be made to an
swer alone; to get the benefit OF
fertilizing, all three must be used,
although the proportions vary
according to the kind of fruit plant
ed and the nature of the soil to be
ferliIlzed. Potash is found, we
are told, only in Germany; nitrate
Of soda, (from which, nitrogen),
only in Chill, South America; and

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the lar
gest sale of any medicine in the civil.
zed world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any-
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation Of
undigested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous and
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
