LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

_————

The Manure Question.

S1r,—The discussion on manures in your paper is very timely, and it is pleasant to find farmers endeavoring to find light on the subjects which so deeply intesest them. I think, however, that your correspondent ‘* A Farmer” has got a little beyond his depth in his letter in Tue Examiner of the 27th ult. For instance, he says: ‘*‘ Good earth contains all of the eleven inorganic elements necessary to the growth and matur- ity of any crop, and when good earth is mixed with stable manure or any vegetable matter containing nitrogen if lime and pot- ash are also present, witha certain quan. tity of water, the decompositjon of the nitro- genous matter sets the nitrogen free and also liberates the oxygen from the water, and in the presence of potash and lime they have a tendency ‘to unite and form nitric acid.” The italics are mine. It would appear from the above that ‘*‘A Farmer” is of opinion that lime and potash are not ‘* inorganic elements,” or, if they are such, that they are not ‘‘necessaryto the growth and matur-

Long-Standing

Blood Diseases are cured by the persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

This medicine is an Alterative, and causes & radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may not be quite so rapid as in others; but, with persistence, the result is certain. Read these testimonials :—

“‘ For two years I suffered from a se vere pain in my right side, and had other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, [ began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking five bottles I was com- piety cured.’’— John W. Benson, 70 4awrence st., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out | Onmyarm. The usual remedies had no | effect and I was confined to my bed for _ eight weeks. A friend induced me to try

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Less than three | bottles healed the sore. In all my expe- , Yience with medicine, I never saw more

Wonderful Results.

Another marked effect of the use of this | medicine was the strengthening of my sight.”,— Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas. “I had a dry scaly humor for years, and suffered terribly ; and, as my broth- er and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my body for the last three months.’”’—T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers st., New York City.

‘Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. f did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stom- ach and liver increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, alter faithfully continuing the use of this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared and was completely cured.””— Mrs, Augusta A. Furbush, Haverhill, Mass.

[Funeral to-morrow (Tuesday) at 2 p. m,

Friends are invited te attend. }

At sea, on the lith Jan. last, on board the ship Jas. G. Baine, Milo J. Burke, aged 17 years,

The poor fellow, on the afternoon of the 30th Nov. last, was sitting on the poop, and the ship rolling heavily caused higy to fall backwards about seven feet to the Main deck, fatally injuring his spine. He lingered until Jan. llth, when he died. The ship was owned by his uncle—Captain' P. Mockler— and was on a voyage from New York to Bris- bane, Australia, arriving at the latter place twelve days after his burial at sea. The poor boy left home full of life and hope, auticipat- ing a pleasant time in Australia, where he ex- pected to meet his uncle, Stephen R. Burke, who for years has resided there. He wasa bright boy, and high hopes were entertained of bis useful future life, but Ged, whe does all things wisely and for the best, called him to himself while he was yet in the innocence of his youth.

At Elliott Vale, on March 26th, of acute gastritis, George W. Bennett, tailor, aged 63. The deceased was born in Exeter, England, from which place he came with his parents to Newfoundiand, being then but a few years old. After serving his time he came to this Island at the age of 16, without friends or money; but by his industry and integrity he soon built up for himself 2 gooc. custom. He spent a few years in Charlottetown, after which he removed to the western end of the Island, where he made many friends, After 20 years spent in Brackley Point Road and vicinity, he came te Elliott Vale in 1887, where he vontinued to ply his trade until eiglit days before his death. As a neighbor, he was kind, courteous and obliging; as a father he was humane and considerate, and asa husband affectionate and devoted. He leaves a widow, four daughters, four sons, and twenty-six grandchildren to mourn their loss. The large procession which followed the remains to the grave testify to the esteem; in whigh he was held by his many acquaiftdnces.’ A solemu High Mass was celebrated by the Rev. M. J. McMillan, after which the coffin was deposited in the graveyard of St. Theresa’s Church. May he rest'in peace,
