Prof. Shuttleworth IN ANSWER TO MR JAMES DEWAR’S LREITER IN ** EXAMINER ”’ oF SRD APRIL.

_Siz,—In Tax Examiner of April 3rd, is signed a letter signed by Mr. James D Dewar, of Brudene!l, in which information is asked under seven questions, and in this letter the writer requests me to reply. My answer, f@rwarded to-day, may throw a little light upon thoee important questions, though it cannot furnish the same satisfac- tory information that a verbal discussion might give :

Question (1): ** Will two crops of oats in succession exhaust the soil more than two

crops of timothy hay?” They will, Alkhough on the Island there are Many instances where oats have and 5 can be grown continuously and with con- ‘

Psiderable success for several years in suc- cession, the practice should not be en- couraged. Its influence upon the soil is exhaustive.

Question (2): ‘* Does summer following (o'd sod land) improve, or exhaust the land for fature crops?—-a common practice in P, E. Island,

It impreves the land. 1 would like to say more in reference to this practice, but must defer until the particular conditions tending to make this a common practice, has been ascertained more fully.

Question (3): ‘‘ What percentage of ash do potato tops draw from the soi'; also are the

HOUSE ® tops of any manuriai value if left in the field

- : — pand ploughed under? ”’

They draw a little over six per cent. of their dry weight. This ash contains over six per cent. potash, and 55 per cent, phosphoric acid, as well as other ash con- stituents, all of which are returned to the soil if the tops are left to be ploughed under. They are of manurial value.

Question (4) ‘‘ Why is it that a plot of land slected for root growing, and manuured every year becomes infested with weeds, grubs and insects of various kinds, so that }@ov growing there becomes a failure?”

Letier from

fend {=}

Sy

—(x)

This question cannot be answered, I fear, to the entire satisfaction of Mr. Dewar, for he evidently accounts for the failure of the root crop by the presence of weeds, grubs and other insects. The continuous growth of any crop upon the same land favors the development of many evils as insects, ir

Anyone in the need

tinuous production of rovt crops is par- ticularly favorable to the growth of ob- noxious plants, for the melluw character of the duil readily receives and germinates the seeds. Nevertheless, the growth of a root or as it may be called, a hoed orop, is often adopted by the best farmers as a means of enabling them to clean the land of weeds, etc.

to ripen or mature on sod land (+priag ploughed) though the land is rich, and pastar- ed by cattle and sheep for two o: three years?”

The wheat plant cannot appropriate organic nitrogen, but can only obtain its nitrogen from nitrates. Further, it does not readily collect its nitrogenous food from the soil. Spring-ploughed sod land would contain organic nitrogen, and but little nitrogen in the form of nitrates. Sod land intended for wheat should be ploughed the previous summer, and worked somewhat as a summer fallow. In this way the mechanical! condition of the soil for the re- ception of wheat roots is improved, and much of the organic nitrogen is converted into nitvates. The wheat plants, now being able to obtain to food, develop roots freely and receiving sufficient soil-moisture, will ripen.

Question (6): ‘‘ Why does early sowing in- variably mature the best grain? This ques- tion has been well tested on the experimental farm last season.”

Because early sowing allows a longer period of growth, and the plants, therefure, collect more ash matter from the soil.

Question (7): ‘‘ Will the Professor define the difference in the value of stable manure carefully housed (liquid and solid) and well trodden down by yeung cattle fed over it, so as to prevent too much fermentation, and manure from the same kind of animals thrown

The latter (manure) is frequentiy removed from the open yard in midwinter to an adjoiaing fleld, and ther iled ap to g> through another process of eaching and evaporation before it is fiaally spread on the land for plant food.”

Stable manure, carefully housed and tramped by cattle, suffers no luss either by leaching or by fermentation. On the other hand, if the same manure had been thrown into the open yard loss might have oc- eurred in two ways (1) by leaching or wasting ; (2) by the evaporation of products

The “Guardian” Criticised.

To the Editor of The Guardian:

Srn,—I have just seen the Weekly Guar- dian of the 27th ult., and am some- what astonished at the manner in which you view the obtaining and publish- ing of the contents of the letters said to have passed between the candidates for King’s County and some of their agents. The Guardian says :

‘‘The manner in which these letters was vbtained is unknown to us. It may have been fair, or it may have been foul. It is enough for us that our correspondent ‘Elector’ vwouches for and declares his ability to prove their authenticity, etc.”

ls it enough ? Does the Guardian care nothing for the honor and morals of the public? I will suppose that the letters were found by the party who furnished them to the Guardian, and every one of them found to be opened. Is this enough that the finder should reveal their contents. Does it not show an utter want of honesty and honor on the partof the finder? And yet the Guardian does not consider this of any conseguence.

Again, quantity of liquor used by the candidates or their agents, when it was well-known that there was as much, if not more, used by the Opposition candidates or their agents. The Guardian also fiads fault with the Bish } for going tu Prince County and instructing those of his flick as to which party h thought they ought to vote fur. Lf ask, has he not a perfect right tode so? Are no! the clergy from their educational standing and otherwise, b»tter intorned on the poli- tical or other questions of the day than & great mejority ot those who wait on their ministry Wiulst I hold that it is the clergy nan’s more immediate duty to preach the guspel, it is no less his duty to instruct those who from adverse circumstances can- not see very clearly what was their duty The politics] situation at last election was such as required the best gifted men, both clerical und lay, to give advice tu thuse who (4s already stated) from adverse circum. stunces are not so well qualified to furm an opinien.

There is just one other item in the Guar- dian which I would notice, headed **Grand for Free Trade.” (The article is dxted Tor- onto, March 24.) *‘Principal Graut’s plea for free trade encourages the impression that important fiscal changes are pending.” The above item is altogether misleading. Principsl Grant is not a free

imperi! Canadian nationality. Jt felt tbat the scheme of unrestricted reciprocity with a powertful foreign nation, combined with dis- criminatinn against the mother country, bad to say the least a suspicious look; and when on the back of that came the revelations of the

. confidential article prepared bya friend,and the

stolen letters, indignation took possession of a goed many minds that had hitherto regarded Sir John Macdonald with feeiings the north side of friend!y. As in the case of the Pacific scandal and the Rykert affair, people did not atop to discuss the morality of stealing letters lt simply acted on the evidence presented. It bas sinca read with calmness the grave cen- sures pronounced upon all such puiloining of information by a journal that not jong ago filled itscolumos with published evidence in a matter that did not concern the public at ail,and day after daypointed with pride tothe proois of enter- prize that it was thereby giving. Public opinion goes swiftly to the core in such matters, Had not men like Mr. Mowat and Mr. 8. H. Blake than whom more loyal Vanadians do not lve, thrown themselves into the breach, there would have been a far more general revolt on the partofreformers, These trusted leaders, however, spoke with no uncertain sound, and their followers heard or read what they said and rallied again to the cold standard.”

Farther on in the same speech he says:

«The natural policy in the shape in which it now is, has won its last victory. Trade relations against the whole world cannot be maintained. A hime market of sixty- nine miliions bas been found in -dequate in the Republic. ‘here farmers, manuf wtuiers,

roducers and consumers are now crying out for relief. How then can a home market of tive mi:lions prove an ad+ quate and per manent arrangement?’ We must extend our trade relations either with the United States or with the rest of the world. I am afraid that for reasons I need not go into just now, we ean do no hing with the States. But we can at once improve our condition with Brit.in. We send her lumber, wheat, cheese, cattle, poul- try, harmoniums,agricultural imp!ements, even cotton—in a word, everything we prodace or manufacture ; and we ure free to send her as much more as we like, egge and two rowed barley included, but our ships and steamers are not allowed to bring back to us her coal, iron, woolens, cottons and cu lery, sefined sugar, or anything else that is not prepared to jump over a high tariff wali, Our ships and steamers cannot, therefore, have return cargoes, amd we pay more freight in conse- quence for what we send. To make this all right we sing ‘God Nave the Queen,” and propose to shut her out of our markets alto- gether if it suits our interest. This is indis- pensible, and the sooner our manufacturers see that it is so,and prepare to engage in com petition with their fellow citizens ail over the Empire, the better.”

Although the above is not the whole of Mr Grant's speech. [ have qnoted erough to show what side of politics he ison. he Guardian perhaps may say we have to take our des. patches as we receive them; to this I give an emphatic denial, The Guardian can find out the truth of its despatches, and if it has the wellfare of the public at heart it will only publish what it knows can be relied on.
