All the plots received in 1893 240 Ib. of Thomas phosphate, and 

 plots 2 to 10 the same quantity of potash. In 1894 no manure was 

 given to the potatoes. 



Professor A. Bourgeois publishes in his "Essais d'Engrais Chi- 

 miques" some experiments with peas made by teacfiers in the De- 

 partment of Meurthe and Moselle. They had to use 1,600 Ib. of 

 Thomas phosphate and 160 Ib. of sulphate of potash; and M. Hail- 

 laiiy, in Uruffe, harvested from one square yard of unmanured land 

 1,385 g. of green pea's; from the manured, 2,400 g. M. Leclerc, of 

 Courielles, from the former per acre of green sugar peas, 1,200 Ib. ; 

 and from the manured, 1,600 Ib. Three others had also good 

 results with the above manures, and where M. Gryer added 160 

 Ib. of nitrate of soda he had luxurious plants, but few peas. Mice 

 did nob attack the peas on the manured lands. 



Near Osterode peas were sown between newly-planted rasp- 

 berries, for whose benefit nitrogenous manure was given in excess 

 of what might have been given to peas alone. The manure was 

 given in February, and on the 17th of May as top manure 240 Ib. of 

 muriate of potash and 400 Ib. of superphosphate. The results were 

 per acre .
