Among the iractical papers i t ad at the Farmers' I i^tiiuie at liitlge Springs mme. attracted more attention than the fiilliiwiutr }?v (\nt. J.

L*t. us take a hurried glance over the situation as it presents itseif. We hivtt a State with u great range of soil ami climate, extending from thej seacoast to the mountains. In the Handbook of the Slate it is divided into six divisions: Sea i?l;<nd and coa?t region, lower and upper pine belt, >aud hill, Piedmont and AI nine regions. In m?u:l* uf !lit'in we will find types of soil coin noii to all. We ^pend annually" ni> >tit 000,000 lor commercial fertilizer* in this Stun?, e-insi-ting of the so-called guano, containimr IVuii; '1 to o jht cent of ammonium, s to 10 per wnt phosphoric acid, 1 to 3 per cent potash, so-called diM?lved bone (acidulated root,) containing ?l> >ut K> per cpuI phosphoric fteid; kaitiit with 23 prr cent sulphate of potash, muriate of potash, sulphate of pota.-h inrni-hin" potash. For nitrogen we have cofon seed meal, nitrate of soda, iit'pha e of ammonia. dried blood, li-li ser<ip and an abundance of lime. Of the above we find about 40 per wnt consisting of the sruano or com pounced fertHiz *rs. It is not reasonable to suppose that the compounded manures that we find in the market, all made after the same formula altnosr, would he adapted to ?uch a great, varied ?.t soils. With So tew prime ingredients really necessary we ought to he a!?Ie to find the compound that is hesii adapted to each of the varieties ol soil found. now to <;et at tiie tuutu. How are we to arrive at a sati>t:ic- j (orv answer? Will a mrchanie.it or i phtsieal analysis <rive u>'the answer?

It ?cetus to me that the only way we will t-wrget a reiiableaiulsatisfactory answer will l?e when we call i:i ilicj tanner and have linsi to work along j with the experimental station.

Can we rely upon the observation of j the be?t farmers? My experience i> i that the effort to determine the result j ol application of manures by the eyes!' has been most fatal to agricultural pro- j gress. Experimenting as I havs fur a i number of \ ears, I cuttld enumerate a 1 number of gro>s mistakes thus made, i and could show that large sums ol money have been wasted in that way. ! I., n .n'l/irt iii-wIp Incf vpflf lie 1 hp ! 1 Florida, agricultural station, the dircc- ' tors consulted a number of successful 1 farmers as to the results of a crop of 1 commercial manure on one acre with : one ton cotton seed meal, on another 1 with one ton of a compound lert'lizer, ] ami on one with no manure.

Paul Wagner, of Germany, who has been giving time for several \ ears to 1 the subject of cosnn e ei.il fertilizvrs, says: "First. Commetcial manure place : the farmer who cultivates intei-.-ivelv in a position to bring crops, even those varieties which need most t>!&ni food or are most productive, to their highest development, increasing :he ' > ield to a degree that is not possoib!e ' bv mere barnyard manure; and furth-1 ermore, they place him in a position to return very exhaustive crops to their former fields niter idatively shorter periods, and that without perceptible liminntion of vield or exhaustion of | -foil. "Second. Commercial manures : lace tine cautious and circumspect tanner in a position to increase, temporal i y or permanently, the development ol'crops in any Soil, even in the poorest, and so adjust the nutrition of, h?- >ame to the peculiar relation o! : .-oil, climate and weather as to .-ecure * ? .1 * ~ * l. .. x* t * iui; auvamageuoui wie iavoraoie condition, diminishing and, as far as pus- ; sibl , tetnoving !he unfavorable. "T:iirl. Commercial manures t:ii- , aUe the farmer who cultivates extensively to make the mutt of his \?idiacres for the storing of atmospheric nitrogen. Phosphoric acid and potash :-a!ts give to clover, vetches, pe^s, s.uratielU, etc, the power to withdraw 1 from 1 he atmosphere great quantities of nitrogen, thus enriching lm?ban Irv with the most valuable of all fertilizer?. "They also enable them to increase the food capital, and to gradually transtorm the extensive product ion into an intensive one, therehv increa<- ' I in? bo'h : lie vah:e ot the ia:ui :2:C l rc vci!
