Sliepard to an excellent article on fertilization which wo print below and which has received the approval of several local growort who have seen It. It is as follows: At a recent meeting of the borti oulturul seminary of the Massachu setts Agrloultiirnl College, Prof. W. P. llrooks was the speaker, and his subject was "Too Fertilization of Fruit Trees, Especially Apples." lie began by stating a few general princi ples. In dealing with fruit trees very slow acting fertilizers are to be chos en as a rule. This is because the crop romulns long in the land, and be oauso, as a ruin, slow-acting fertilizers can be bought at a price which makes the unit of pluut food in thorn much cheaper. There are of course some exceptions to this rule, especially In soils which are llablo to leach. In such onBes aulckor acting fertilizers are required. Again, it is not always true that the unit of pluut loed can be boimht most cbearlv in slower act ing ehemicHlx. At the present time ui trade of soda olfers practically the ohonnest form of nitrogen, pound lor nouud : vet It is one of the most mi Ink Iv available fertilizers known. lu applying potash and pbosphorlo add to fruit trees, at least lu tolls which are fairly rotentive, oousldera ble quantities can he held in reserve that is. the soil will curry a large stock of these fortlllzers on which tie trees can grow indefinitely as they nnad them. For various reasons, bow aver, nitrounu cannot be stored up in the toll In the same way. It has to be supplied frequently, and theiefore us ually lu smaller quantities. It is to be noted further that lu the nnn of nltrouon on fruit trees consld erable care has to be exorcised. Large quantities of nitrogen are not needod, and even moderate quantities are sometimes dangerous. In an apple or chard all the nitrogon which is retiulr ed mav eomotlmes be secured trom the use of loiruminous cover crops, such as cow peas, soy boans, el. ver or vetch. As nitrogen is the most ex pensive element to be secured, there Is mauifest economy in applying such a system of management as will pro vide this nitrogen on tho ground with out the addition of expensive nitro genous fertilizers. The prlnolpul part of Prof. Drook's lecture, howovor, was devoted to a discussion of a very Interesting exper iment lu tho fertilization of apple trees oarrlod out at the Hutch Experi ment Htatlon of tho Massachusetts Ag ricultural College. A good piece of land, having been previously cultivat ed in graHs and other common agricul tural crops, was In the full of 1HH7 plowed and drowned with one ton of wood atrium to the acre. In ImmH it whs agulu plowed, and in 1HK9 the reg ular system of fertilizers was adopted as follows: Plat 1 received anuuully at the rate of ten tons of baruynrd manure per acre. Plut 2 received at the rate of oue ton of wood ashes per acre. Flat !t received nothing in the way of fertilizer, but was held as a check against which the other lots could be compared. Plat i received auuuully bone meal COO lbs., muriate of potash 200 lbs. Plat 5 received annually (UK) lbs. of bone meal and 400 lbs. of low grade magnesia potash sulphate. The trees were plautod lu 18110, and the land was plowed and cultivated until when it was seeded down to grass. The hay was cut and can led away until 1W2, after which tho hay was out aud left on the fground. The trees have therefore beeu growing since 1H1X), and are now 15 years old. They have beou hearing for several years, and while the results aro not uncusHarily Until, a very good judge ment cau be formed regarding the general results. It may iio suid that the fertilizers lu the diiferent plats cost approxim ately as follows : Plut 1 iMO per acre per year. Plut 2 1'2 an acre. Plat 3-Nothing. Plut 1?U) an aore. Plut 5811 au acre. The amount of potash lu plats 2, 4 and 5 was approximately equal, as was the phosphorio add in plats 4 aud 5. Considerable dill'ereuoe Is shown lu the growth of the trees during the 15 years of this experiment. It would be naturally expocted that the growth has been considerably tho least on plut It, where no fertilizer was applied. Taking the uveruge circumference of the trees in the diiferent plats, the following tlgorcs aro showu : Plut 1 :il.:i'i inches. Plat '2-27. M " Plat 3-24. W " Plat 4-20.SU " Plat5-:U.15 " It should be said that this experi ment included several dlilerent vari eties of apple as follows: Ualdwlu, Uravensteiu, Khode Island Ureeniug aud Hoxbury Kusset. Those varieties were all'eetod very d liferent! y by the fertilizers. It was shown, for In stance, that Koxbury Kusset could rustle for itself much better than the other varieties. It made very nearly aood growth in plat 3, without fer tilizer. as lu iriit 1. nlere it hid an abundance, fluid win, on the ether hand, proved to be very seusatlve to lood supply. It made much less growth in plut three than 1 1 the fer tillzed sections. This of course quite contrary to the usual opinion which rates lialdwln as tbe lazy man s apple par exoelleuce. We may now compare toe produots of these various plats. The totals are as follow, and cover tbe time of first bearing lu ln'.W up to and Including the crop of llluu ; Flat I iu,n( pounds. Plat 2 5,4(13 " Plat 3- 2,021 " Plat 4-7,111 " Plat 5- 9,(107 " It will be seen that the section fer tillzed with barnyard manure baa gW en slightly the largest total crop. must not be forgotten, however, that tins Is secured at a very greatly lu cre-'sed expense. Tbe next largest oi ops were developed in pluts 4 and 5, but tbe striking thing is that plat greatly exoeeds plat 4, although the quantities of fertilizers, chemically computed, are nimost identical. Tbe diilerence appears to be due to the diiferent form in which potash is a plied. The evtd lice is certain strong that on this toll sulphate of magnesia potash is superior to the muriate. The plat fertilized with wood ashes gave toe lowest yield 'he fi rtlllzed plats, although at rela lively high expense. The very low yield from the unfertilized plat rattier striking, especially when oue re-nembers that tills plat received cou slderably better than the ordinary care given on the common farm. The trees were always carefully pruned, sprayed and otherwise well cared for. In the matter of quality, there were also some striking differences among tbe varlos plats. The fruit showed its best color nearly always on plat 2, fertilized with wood ashes, while plat 5 showod second' best color. Those on the unfertilized plut were flrmjof good color ana good lluvor, but they wore altogether too small and a very large proportion of them were unlit for sale. The fruit on plat 1, fertil ized with barnyard mauure, was tbe poorest of all, except In the point size. It was soft, rather poor fluv ored, kept poorly, aud waa not well oolored. Caroful uhomlcal tests failed to reveal any dilferouce lu tbe ohen cal nature of the diiferent plats. liy r. a. waugn in trie uountry Uentl man. SHOOTS HIMSELF TO DEATH IN T00LH01SE J. ().
