The Stockton Independent says “Itis a well-known fact that in the manufacture, a bone duet used in the process of refining sugar large quantities of super-phosphates are necessarily produced. The product is very valuable, as it is next to guano, the best known fertiliser in use, and as its (properties are condensed it can be applied to exhausted soils with little trouble. Messrs. Ohlandt and Co., of San Francisco, who furnish the sugar refineries of that city with bone meal, have immense quantities of this excellent fertiliser for which they find no market in this State, but, we leam, ship all their surplus to New Zealand and Australia, where it brings a high price as a manure. It seems almost paradoxical that California farmers should allow this concentrated fertiliser to be shipped abroad when they require it so much at home. Are our lands so much richer or more inexhaustible than those of New Zealand or Australia that they do not require fertilisers, or are our English cousins shrewder and more appreciative of the value of artificial fertilisers to sustain the uniform quality and productiveness of their land;? The constant drain upon the productiveness of the soil by raising wheat upon it for successive years without change, as is the custom in California, must in time exhaust the most fertile land. If it is essential to the interests of our farmers to raise nothing but wheat as their staple product, would it not be wisdom to dp as our English cousins do, brace up the soil with fertilisers to supply the element yearly taken from it ? If they can afford to transport our surplus unmarketable superphosphates 7000 miles to place upon their land, cannot our farmers afford to take it home and apply it to the same use P’'

The failure of the English Agricultural Holdings Bill, which was originally brought in for the purpose of guaranteeing a tenant compensation for his improvements in the event of being bid out of his farm at the end of his lease, consisted in the introduction of a clause rendering the compensation optional on the part ef the landlord. Eeferring to a similar Bill being brought forward in Scotland, Sir Eobert Anstruther, Bart., M.P. for Fifeshire, in an address to his constituents, said, “he had no doubt that the principle of the Bill was sound. It was only a reasonable thing that a farmer should receive adequate compensation for improvements he had made on his holding, and which he had left at his outgoing to the landlord; but if they were able to judge of the prospective action of the Bill, supposing it passed into an Act, by the result of a similar Bill passed for England last session, he was afraid they must come to the conclusion that it would be little more than a dead latter. His desire was to see the Bill made compulsory; and if nobody else brought the matter forward in the House of Commons, he intended to do so himself. He did this not only in the interest of the tenant, but equally in the interests of the landlord, because if a tenant did not get compensation for his improvements, the improvements would not be made. They were all more or less interested in the improvement of agriculture, so that this was a question which also affected the general public. If a general desire existed among the tenant farmers of Scotland' to see this Act' made a compulsory one, would they be kind enough to say so, and bring every legitimate influence to bear on their members of Parliament, and insist on these bringing their influence in turn | on the Government to support a motion which would be brought forward to that effect.” The speaker’s remarks were received with great enthusiasm by a large audience of farmers.
