In the ancient times there lived o

said that he could answer correctly
any question put to him. There was
one, however. who thought himself
clever enough to outwit the sage. This
man took poor. captive bird and
clasped it SO closely in his hand that
only the head and tail were visible.
"Tell me-" said he to the renowned
guesser of riddles, rs the bird which l
hold in my hand alive or deadT
II the answer were Dead" thought
this artful plotter, he would just open
his hand and let the bird fly. II the
answer were "Alive" he would with
one little squeeze crush the poor bird
to death.
But the wise man proved himself
equal 10 the occasion and replied. 1t

FERTILIZERS ARE "sHY."
Some of Them Fail to Stand the
Test

Bulletin, loo, issued by the Yer
mont Agricultural Experiment Stat
ion, relating to commercial fertiliZ-
ers contains a large amount of in
formation valuable to farmers. The
bulletin may be had free on applica-
ton to the station.
The station has drawn from deal
er's stocks and analysed 1872 licensed
brands, the output of 10 companies,
all this years goods. Six licensed
brands were not found on sale.
Eighty-six per cent of the brands
met their guarantees. Three brands
failed to afford commercial equiv
alent of the promises made for them.
The outcome on the whole is a thor
oughly satisfactory one.
The quality vi the crude stock used
in furnishing phosphoric acid and
potash seemed to be beyond re-
proach. The Internal claim that sui
phate of potash was used hitherto
made for two-thirds of the brands. is
now made for only one brand in
four; only eight brands contained
any appreciable quantities of sui
phate.
More mineral nitrogen is used now
adays than hitherto; even the low
grade brands carry it. Organic nitro
gen of low availability was found in
few brands, enjoying only limited
sales.
The average selling price was
$32.03; the average valuation, $2009
One dollar in three spent for mixed
fertilizers were paid to the manufac
turer, railroad, and selling agent for
their work, while but two of the
three were paid for plant food.
But 55 cents worth of plant food
was bought for dollar in average
low priced goods, and SO cents
worth in medium priced goods. The
average high priced brand however,
afforded 90 cents worth for a dollar.
Some Vermont consumers paid fully
twice as much for plant food as did
others.
A comparison of analyses of
brands for five years shows in some
eases essential evenness and in 9TH
ers considerable variation in com
position
