Electro-Culture of Crops.

r Three years ago (says a writer in " The field") hv Martin O'jJullivau, of Athea, County Limerick, a postmaster with scien« tifio leanings, astonished hi 3 neighbours by fixing up barbed wire in parallelograms by means of poles over a small patch of pota toes in his garden. That this was done to "keep away the blight" was the general impression, and it was not until October that Mr Horan, county surveyor, was asked to examine and compare the crop grown under these peculiar conditions with tubers raised in the ordinary way. The results

were entirely satisfactory. In size and quality the potatoes protected by the barbed wire were found to be superior, and the yield was calculated to be 40 or 50 pei* cent higher than that of an unprotected patch in the same garden. Little more than local attention was attracted to those tentative experiments, and the post master continued them on a somewhat. larger scale in 1900, and with similarly satisfactory results. Last year the' D epartment of Agriculture and Techni cal instruction in Ireland took the matter up, and, although no formal report' has been published, it is known.that the result of the experiments, carried out more scientifically than was possible in a remote hamlet, have been quite satisfactory. Mr O'Sullivan now claims that the principle of electro-culture may be applied with advan tage to all other crops. He says, speaking of his pet subject—"The experiments, two in number, carried out by the Agricultural Department last year to test my system gave good results. In one there were no potatoes diseased, and in the* other the diseased tubers were only 8 per cent, while in the unprotected plot the diseased were five times as numerous. As to yield," continues tne enthusiastic experimenter, "the increase in 1899 and 1901, when there was little or no blight, was about 80 per cent. In 1900, a year of severe blight, the increase of large potatoes was 300 per cent. The potato crop in 1899 and 1901 having been, us it were, raised to the level of our ot her crops, may I not assume—and I have not assumed anything in connection with this subject which has not been verified—that the agency of success iv the protected pota to plots would be equally Buccessf ul with ; other crops? Consequently, I feel justified in claiming that the application of my system -would stimulate the growth and increase the produce by 80 per cent of covn, root» and green crops, of meadowing and pasturage, of every crop—the electricity conveyed into the soil warming it, and con verting into active and available form some of the dormant plant food therein con tained. If the increase were shown in all crops, woujd not my invention greatly bene fit directly the farmers, crofters, cottiers and market gardeners of the United Kingdom, and indirectly the rest of the community ? Mr O'SulUvan believes that if, instead of/ barbed wire, specially manufactured ab stractors, conductors, diffuses, transmitters , and radiators -of whii.'h lie has given draw- ■ ings to the Agricultural Department— wert used,the results would be even more remark able. Ho then gives elaborate directions for ihe arrangement of the baibed wire. His first plan is as follows :— Tafce a square a side of which is 4 8ft, divide it into nine equal squares, fix a pole, 12ft high, 2in by iTfin, at. tivhvy tiusjuLir point, aud one tit the iiiiHn:(.:i;tioni'f the diagonals of every square. Unrbwd wire lo bo attached to or near the top cf each pole, ■projecting at least two Oiusix'rs <-,f points u!>ov«t,iV., stretoliing dowu ; wards, ant! having from 3ft to 4ffc of it coiled inlu a hall, or rather, into the seg ment of a sphere, and embeded in the fur tow about 2ft from foot •to pole; , so that the top of the ball, or segmenC, '.vould be from 2in to 4in, according to the stiffness or looseness of the soil, below the I surface of-the furrow. The poles would be 16ft spai't. Fewer poles need be used if they wore higher. Mr O'Snliivan estimates the cost of sixteen poles at f>s 4d, and of wire for the square above-mentioned at 93 6d, both being available, with proper care, for several years. -

Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Eoss' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My I life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look I very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use', you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton.
