At this season of the year w receive more inquiries in rcgar to the mixing ami using of lerti izers than ahout any one suhjec We answer the same or simil; questions over and over agaii which suggests the suspicion th: some of our subscribers do n< read this department closely ut less they are looking for an ai swer to a question thev then selves have asked. We have once before suggest et and we now repeat the sugge tion. that each one interested i the Farm and Fanners depar inent shall carefully li 1 <? the p; per. or this page at least, for fi tore references. We neeasiotia ly refer an iin|nirer to a reeei number for the information desi ed. This we are enable to do b< cause we keep always 111 eas reach such a file of this page full indexed.) Now to the question of leitil zers : A "complete'' fertilizer, con inonly indicated by the ten "guano," contains all three < the elements of plant food i which our soils are more or le: deficient. These three element are phosphoric acid, potash ati nitrogen (ammonia), l'hosphor acid is considered the most in portant because ordinary soils ai most deficient in this element nitrogen is of next importanc and lastly potash. All these eh ments are contained in stable mi nure, but the latter generally coi tains more nitrogen than phos phoric arid and generally 11101 potash. Hence stable manure classed a nitrogenious manur Cotton seed and cotton meal a so contain all three elements, bi a still larger proportion of nitre gen ; therefore these substance especially cotton meal, are ab classed as nitrogenous. Dried blood is also a valuabl source of nitrogen, being aboi twice as rich as cotton meal. Nitrate of soda is a valuabl and exceedingly eonveniei source of nitrogen, and i* espec rlly suited for top dressing stun grain in the spring and forintei cultural r?Ti 11 ix i njr ??l most ;?arde vegetables. It is not a Ivi <? < 1 t rely on it alone as a nitrogcnm element of a 1 i<* 1?1 fertilizer. In mainly lor tin- use-; above in I eateil. ami for ijuiek ami speck olivets. Uaw Itone meal i-- ab another source of nitrogen, In looclosllv for general use. Acid phosphate, or superphophate. or dissolved rock, or di solved hone, all meaning th same thing, is the cheapest an best source of phosphoric aci alone. A simple acid phosphati containing no potash, is sonn times called, "plain acid pho: phate," or simply "acid" forshor The shortest commercial sourc wi fiwuiNii is muriate 01 poiasi containing about .">( per cent < potash. Next is kninit. vvhic contains about 1*2.1 percent < potash. Muriate of potash i t l"? a ton is cheaper than kain at $ 12 a ton. The above named in^redienl 9 JTERF , FEBRUARY 16, 18<)<s. art' I lie chief reliance of the manufacturers of commercial fortili r /ers. The larger factories make (' the sulphuric acid, which is used ' to dissolve the S. C. rock phos' phate into acid nhosohate Thi^ I I " making of sulphuric acid and dis ' >olving the rock is about the only d operations conducted by a man d ufacturor that a farmer may m>t l" do just as well, so far as making l* (mixing) his own fertilizers is 1 concerned. The manufacturer makes his acid phosphate (some ! do not make even that ) and then s | mixes with it, in certain propor11, lions, muriate of potash, to make ' a potash phosphate. For a "gu1 alio" he adds also some dried 1 blood, or tankage, or cotton seed ' meal, or some ot each, and sonicd I in ics a lit tie nit rate of soda, st irs r it and mixes it well, sacks it, -".brands on it "Soluable I'acific y iiuano." or "(lossypium I'hos.v pho," or "(iold Dust," or any one . o! the hundreds of names, and ' jsells it to the waiting farmer at tlS or ."fr'JO or $22 a ton. He has ' a large building, heavy machinery, a president and secretary d and clerks and book keepers and 11 travelling agents and engineers and superintendents and perhaps a line city ollice and other salad iius and expenses to meet.

Hut an intelligent farmer can do his own k* mixing" at a greatlv r? less cost?we are certain.

One ton of good, well-preserved and decomposed stable rnunure contains about as much nitrogen as 125 pounds of cotton meal. Of ordinary Hot manure" one ton contains probably not more nitrogen than fifty pounds of cotton meal or four bushels of cotton seed.?('onstitu| tion. New Editors Elected. Columbia Register, 14.
