We evidently made the paragraph a little too sweeping. Certainly we meant no reflection on the people of Gaffney as a whole. We would be the last per son in the world to intentionally de fame {Gaffney, but piqued at the ftilure of some people to keep their promises made in goood faith we were sparred to write the paragraph, be lieving that it might serve some good purpose.

A copy of the patent has been obtained from the Patent Office, and ia published in full in the Bulletin of the Depart ment of Agricu ture. together with a discussion of it in the press.

It is claimed that the “discovery” and the value of :be process rest in the miterials emp-o^ed, their pre- portions acd arrarigean-Dt. R-gard- ing th-se I desire to off-r these com ments : 1 There is nothing new or ingen ious in the materials employed—man ure. dirt, acid phosphate, muriate of potash, nitrate of*<da, sulphate of ammonia, lime urd salt beitg fa- n i iar and well k'. w . i-ubstance. Ex cept lime and sak. these materials are. and have been, in frequent, if not constant, use for years by farmers and fertilizer manufacturers: Sait is not plant food, and the lime as used w rk- fa/greater ii jury in driv- ing off tAmmar.ia from the man ure, notwitnstauiw g tbe claim of the patentee that it bolds it. that it does in pulverizing the manure. The main value of the manure resting in its ammonia, iris rnisttk-n economy to throw a part at least of it away, merely for the tak; of getting the less valuable residue in condition to b c nut through a grain-drill. 2 Great sires* is laid oo the ar rangement of the fhateria’s, it being claimed that this i« such as to bring about complete disintegration of tbe manure with the release and reten tion of the valuable plant food in the compost heap. Not only is this not so. but the arrangement is very undeeirahie. in that the iime is placed where it will do the greatest it jury in drivirgotf the ammonia (let any farmer who ha< a son in any of our school*-, taking even elemenfarv chemifliry, put tni- question to him) and likely also injuriously ttfe-ctmg the acid pho?pha*e by mik ng it ies- s'duble and valuable as plant food Tne valuable pirr-«te of -oda is al-o it; ciang-r of u-ing Iof , not because of being put in tbe worst plac^, bat beenust anywhere in the entire m’X- tur- •* bed tor it Tb* chief object in c*«mpo-ring is to protect and ren der b-tti-r fit for pla it food the oi»r.i- gen (or'ammonia) compounds. Tne Lipps proce** helps to defeat this aim. and if the compost does not go wrong, it is certainly not its fault, a* *he temptation is great. 3 But the proportions of the mate ria'* are said to be such as lo m ke a soecially “ veil balanced fertilizer’ F >r the good of the mix' ure it is to be hoped that there is something in this contcr.tkn.

What farmers would k- owingiy use such a propoit: iDrd fertilizer on cotton or corr, expecting to get the best returns? It is not a “ well-baienced” fertilizer for general crops, experiments conducted for a series oi years having snown that nearer equal quantities of po'ash and ammonia and two to two and one-half tim-s these amounts of phos phoric- acid on ordinary soils give best resuhsoa cotton Other example?, with c'her crops, based op field ex periment. might be given 4.
