Farming Experiments.
BY CONRAD WILSON
It often happens in farming that some
of the valuable results accrueing from ex
periments are lost sight of, and entirely
omitted in the final account, while other
results even less important are carefully
stated. In fact there are many cases in
which a single result, if it happens to es
cape notice, diminishes the value of the
rest and sometimes changes the character
of the experiment or defeats it entirely
Thus, in one way or another nearly all
trial crops lose something of their proper
effect and value, by some omission or over
sight of important facts. It should be
well understood that unless all the facts
that belong to an experiment are brought
together and compared in the final analysis,
no man can tell what the experiment is
worth.
A very good illustration of this point
may be found in the following experiment
with wheat performed by Wm. Holman,
of Cartersville, Va., and reported in the
Scientific Farmer :
EXPERIMENT WITH FERTILIZERS.-
WHEAT CROP.
Two and a half acres were taken as the
experimental area, and were divided into
5 plots or half acre each, and numbered 1,
2,3, 4, and 5. On No. 1, no fertilizer
was applied ; on No. 2, I applied a high
grade fertilizer, containing 5 per cent. of
ammonia, at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre; on No. 3, the same, at the rate of
300 pounds per acre; on No. 4, the same,
at the rate of 400 pounds, and on No. 5,
the same, at the rate of 500 pounds per
acre.
The following table shows the result
first obtained :
Bushels per acre. Increase
No. 1. No fertilizer
" 2. 200 lbs. fertilizer, 19 Gbus.
" 3. 300 " " 22 9
" 4. 400 " " 25 13
5. 500 " " 30 17 "
The following table shows the amount
of profit paid by each plot :
No. 2 6 bus. incr'sd crop, at $1.25=47 50
Straw and chaff, 1 50
Less cost of fertilizer
Profit $2 75
No. 3 9 bus. incr'sd crop, at $1.25=511 25

No. 4 13 bus incead crop, at $1.25=516 25

N 0.5 17 bus incr'sd crop at $1.25=521 25

The following table shows the profit
upon each plot per acre, including the
natural yield :
No. 2. 19 bus. wheat,
Straw and chaff,
Less cost of seed, labor and
fertilizer,
22 bus. wheat,

No. 3
Less cost,
26 bus. wheat
Straw and chaff,
No. 4.
Less cost,
30 bus. wheat,
Straw and chaff,
No. 5.
Less cost,
Now, it is easy to see that this experi
ment, though well devised, and carefully
performed, and profitable to study, is still
defective, and might be made more instruc
tive and more reliable, if all the facts were
duly presented and compared.
As it stands, it indicates that the fertil
izer applied, increased the yield and the
profit, and that the increase of yield was
nearly in proportion to the increase of the
fertilizer.
It also seems to show that on the fifth
plot, with 500 pounds of fertilizer, the
yield was thirty bushels, the increase was
seventeen bushels, the profit on the
increase ten dollars and fifty cents, and the
profit per acre, twenty dollars and twenty
five cents.
But unfortunately the experiment is
nevertheless imperfect, and requires some
correction, which will make it less profit
able, but far more trustworthy.
Let us now look at the omissions in this
experiment, and see how far they affect
the result.
On plot No. 1, which was intended to
show the natural capacity of the soil, there
was no manure applied, and the yield was
at the rate of 13 bushels per acre. But
the value of the yield, and the cost of pro.
duetion of this plot are left entirely out of
view. Yet for the other four plots these
factors are given though the value of the
experiment is much diminished by omitting
them in plot No. 1.
Again, in making up the cost of the
crop per acre, the essential figures are not
all included. The interest and taxes on
the land are left out, though they are pro
perly a part of coat of the crop, and in all
cases when no manure is added to the
land, as in plot No. 1, the exhaustion of
the soil becomes also a part of the cost of
production.
If, now, we supply the omissions in this
experiment, we shall be able to see just
what it amounts to. In the case of plot
No. 1, let us add to the cost of the crop
the amount of interest and taxes, which for
our present purpose may be 'assumed at
$5 per acre, and for exhaustion of soil say
$5 more. But for the other 4 plots to
which the fertilizer was added, there is u r
course no esillostion ofsoil, aud we there-
fore charge only the interest and taxes at
the above rate of $5 per acre.
Now when these figures are included
with the other factors already given, it
will materially modify the experiment, as
the following result will show :
From this comparison of results it is
easy to understand the lesson that is
taught by this trial of fertilizers on wheat.

The Man Who Was Wrecked.
"I've been wrecked ; got chilled
through; gimme some bran'y„' said a di
lapidated looking individual, as he sailed
up to a bar at a Chestnut street drinkery,
yesterday. "I'm a survivor ; feelin purty
rough, but guess I'll g:t over it."
"Wrecked !" said a half a dozen yot..ng
bloods standing around, in amazement.
"I've bin wrecked," I sed. "Ah, that's
good ; fill her up again. It's hard to
break the chill."
9 00
6 25
One youth, more venturesome than the
rest, here essayed to touch the hem of the
survivor's garment, and just at that mo
ment forty cents' worth more of brandy
disappeared. "Now charge that to Tom
Collins," added the wrecker.
"No yer don't," said the barkeeper,
"no Tom Collins business for me. I've
hunted for that feller afore. If you were
wrecked, why we don't mind fittin' yer up
free, but we ain't so green here as to
charge drinks to Tom Collins. That man's
gone west."
"Tell us about the wreck," interposed
one of the bloods ; "give the man some
thing more to drink, or his teeth will drop
out with chattering."
Another drink, three fingers high, roll
ed peaeefully down his throat.
"I've been wrecked," said the survivor.
"You see, we wuz cumin' down the Schuyl
kill Canawl on the Lively Jane ; the Cap'n
be sung out, "Low bridge." The boys all
ducked but me. I was a standin abaft the
shaft, nor' by nor' east of the chicken
coop, when the cook's galley was struck by
that ar bridge, an afore I could say—"

Just then the bartender handed the fel
low out of the door by the top of his col
lar and the sit-down place of his pantaloons.
He sailed gracefully through the air, and
landed on a snow pile in the middle of the
street, and as his nose plowed up the beau
tiful snow there was a splutter and a
mumbling, and the familiar expression was
wafted on the gentle zephyrs, "I've been
wrecked."—Phila. Record.

During the progress of the examination
of Minkhouse and Leary, for an outrage,
some person or persons not having a due
sense of the awful majesty of the law or
the dignity of the court, scattered a villain
ous mixture of snuff, Cayenne pepper,
Barberry bark and most propably a slight
sprinkling of cowhage about the room. It
happened at the time that the audience
was extremely large, and of that mixed
description that generally congregate about
the purlieus of a court of justice. The
insinuating dust soon began to take effect,
a concert of sneezing mixed with coughing,
first among the outsiders, made it impossi
ble to understand one word from either
judge, lawyer, witness or prisoner.

"Silence !" shouted the marshal.
"Si an ch chi chee lence," sneezed the
deputy.
By this time the epidemic had extended
to within the bar, and there was as much
coughing and sneezing as ever was heard
within the House of Representatives du
ring a prosy speech of an unpopular orator.
"Open the ugh win chee chee-dow ; oh,
Lord," exclaimed the prosecuting attorney.
"I suggest an chee-te that they be chiz
turned out," gasped another lawyer.
The judge, who by this time had cough
ed and sneezed until his face was as red as
the comb of a turkey cock, was struck by
the idea, and a posse of officers being call
ed from below, cleared the room of the un
happy multitude, who upon their egress
into the street, gave such a connected, dia
bolical sneeze that a couple of horses that
were hitched outside became scared, and
breaking their bridles, scampered franti
cally away.
A SOLID CASE AT LAST —We take the
following from the Hartford "Times :"
An Irish matron enters a lawyer's office :
"Is this the place, sur, where people git
divorces ?"
"Yes, occasionally we engage in that
kind of husisess. What can Ido for you ,
madam ?"
"Faith, stir, I'd loike to hit a divorce
from me husband Pathriek."
"What is the matter with Patrick
madam ?"
"Shure and Pathriek Bits drunk. sur."
"Very bad But I hardly think that
alone will be a sufficient cause. Have you
no other complaint ?" _
"Indade I have, sur; Pathrick bates me."
"Yes, yes, I see. He adds cruelty to
drunkennt ss. But, madam, you do not seem
to suffer much in your appEarance from
Patrick's cruelty. I think you must find
a better reason before the Court will grant
you a divorce."
"Well, sur, besides all that, I fear Path
rich isn't thrue to me."
"Ah I now you begin to talk business.
What reason have you for thinking that
Patrick is unfaithful to you ?"
"Well, sur, it's meself that has a strong
suspicion that Pathrick is not the father
of me last choild."

VEGETINE.

CHILLS, SHAK FS,
FEVER AND AGUE
TARBORO, N. C., 1878.
Mn. 11. R. STEVENS—Dear air:—l feel very grateful for
what your valuable medicine, Vegetine, hag done in my
family. I wish to express my thanks by informing you
of the wonderful cure of my son ; also, to let you know
that Vegetine is the best medicine for Chills, Shakes, Fe
ver and ague. My son was sick with measles in DM
which left him with Hip-joint disease. My son suffered
great deal of pain, all of the time; the pain was so great
he did nothing but cry. The doctors did not help him a
particle, he could not lift his foot from the floor, he could
not move without crutches. I road your advertisement in
the "Louisville Courier-Journal," that Vegetine was a great
Blood Purifier and Blood Food. I tried one bottle, which
was a great benefit. He kept on with the medicine, gra l
ually gaining. He has taken 18 bottles in all, and he is
completely restored to health, walks without crutches or
cane. He is 20 years of age. I haven. younger eon 15 years
of age, who is subject to Chills. Whenever he feels one
coming on, he comes in, takes a dose of Vegetine and that
is the last of the Chill. Vegetine leaves no bad effect upon
the system like of most the medicines recommended for
Chills. I cheerfully recommend Vegetine for such com•
plaints. I think it is the greatest medicine in the world.
Respectfully, MRS. J. W. LLOYD.
