The use OF insoluble phosphatos,
whether in the form of phosphate
rock or Of the so-called Thomas Stag
has long been a bone of contention
or debatable matter, not only among
the scientific men, but the practical
farmers The former have questioned
whether the insoluble phosphate could
be of any value as plant food, and
some Of the farmers have claimed that
their crops were very much benefited
by it. Although we have not tested
it, our opinion leads us to believe that
the farmers are right, and those who
rely only on scientific principles may
be wrong. We do not place sufficient
confidence in the power of the soil
and the action of frosts, rain and sum-
mer heat upon what are sometimes
called insoluble fertilizers. We know
little of the power that these elements
may exert, and when to the natural
elements Of the soil there may be added
the effect Of decompOsing vegetable
matter, either as stable manure or as
green manure plOwed under, we can
only say that we think they have much
effect in making soluble not only phos-
phatic but other mineral elements in
the soil. Those who have used the
finely ground rock or Thomas Stag
upon fields which had received lib
eral dressing of stable manure or
had been treated with a green crop
plowed under, are so unanimously in
its favor that we cannot doubt but
that the so-called insoluble phOsphates
do become soluble in the soil under
certain conditions depending upon the
soil or the treatment it has received

ham, where he started life as a mem
Der of the firm of Nettlefold & Cham
berlain, screw makers. His business
capacity was so great that the firm
became paramount in the trade, and
in eighteen years his fortune was so
considerable that he retired from bust
ness to devote himself to municipal
affairs. He has had three wives Each
of his marriages were tinged with TO
nance. His closest friend was Will
liam Kenrick, and William had a beau
tiful sister Chamberlain also had a
beautiful sister. Harriet KenriCk and
Mary Chamberlain were as devoted
as their brothers, and the upshot of
this general affection was that Joe
Chamberlain married Harriet and Will

Tho Seventeen. Yenr Clcnda.

The seventeen-year- cicada or locust,
as it is more generally but wrongly
called, is now in full possession of the
territory in which it is due. In all
probability succeeding broOds will be
less destructive, as the areas over
which it occurs are less favorable for
egg-laying than formerly. Another
important factor in its destruction is
the English sparrow. This is particu-
larly true in public parks and other
places near cities and towns. The
sparrow is very fond of these insects
and devours them greedily as soon as
they come from the ground.
