In our investigation incidental to
making choice of feeding stuffs, second
only to the effect which their consumpwill
have upon the growth or productions
of the animals, we must not fail
' to consider their effect upon the richness
of the raauure pile. In other
words, we must look to the amount
which the feeding of each would add,
of those elements of plant growth in
which oar fields are each year becom>nor
mnrn ami mnrp dpfrf.iPTitn.iif5 whinh
we must^ in some way, supply, if we
' would maintain the ability of our land
to produce profitable crops.
It is a very tortun&te provision of
nature that the great bulk of every
auimal is made up of carbon, lime,
hydrogen and oxygen, these constituents
of plants which are most abundant
and which, except the lime, are
very largely obtained from the air and
water; and that of the nitrogen, potash,
and phosphoric acid?the three essential
elements of plants growth most
difficult to obtain?but a very small
proportion of what is contained in the
food is taken up and permanently retained,
especially by a mature animal.
A fair estimate to put upon the value
of the nitrogen, potash and phosphoric
acid passing through the animal to the
manure heap, is the cost at which the
same constituents could be placed
upon the farm, were we to purchase
in cAmn fAnrn a^ .> V* r? r>? i ? .o I

zer. For iustance, were we to purchase
a ton of linseed meal, we wonld
obtain about 700 pounds of albuminoids,
or flesh and muscle-forming- elements,
of which the manure (liquid
and solid) of the animals fed upon it,
would contain about 70 pounds of nitrogen;
it would contain about 24
pounds of potash and SO pounds of
phosphoric acid. These, bought in
their cheapest form in chemical manures,
would cost, delivered noon
most farms, not less than 19 cents peipound
for nitrogen, six cents for potash
and ten cents for phosphoric acid. At
these prices the nitrogen contained in
the manure resulting"from the feedingof
the ton of linseed meal, would
worth $13.30; the potash $1.40 and tiie
phosphoric acid $3, making the tota?
value of three $17.70. A ton of wheat
bran would contain about 280 pounds
of albuminoids of which the manure
would retain, for application to the
fields, nitrogen 44 pounds, worth
$8.39; potash 29 pounds, worth $1.70
and phosphoric acid 61 pounds, worth
$6.10, making its manurial value $16.16.
In a ton of cottonseed meal "we
would have 840 pounds of albuminoids
(Irom wmcn we snonld have, in the
manure pile, 120 pounds of nitrogen
worth $22.60); 40 pounds ot potash
worth $2.40 and 60 pounds of phosphoric
acid worth $6, making an aggregate
plant-growing value of $31.
A ton of malt sprouts would afford
459 pounds of albuminoids, leaving in
the manure 36 pounds of nitrogen,
worth $6*^53; the manure would also
contain 40 pounds of potash, worth
$2.40 and 25 pouuds of phosphoric
acid, worth $2.50 or worth for the ton,
$11.74. A ton of beans or peas which
are somewhat similar to each other,
contains about. 500 pounds of albuminoids
from which the manure would
get 40 pounds of nitrogen, worth $7.60
24 pounds of potash, worth $1.43 and
23 pounds of phosphoric acid, vrorth
$2.30, making its value $11.34. Ot
cornmeal a ton would sudpIv our
animals with 212 pounds of albuminoids,
of which we should have of
nitrogen to return to the fields only
about 15 pounds, -worth 82.85: of
potash we get 7 pounds, worth 42 cents
v and 11 pounds of phosphoric acid,
worth $1.10, making the total cost of
supplying its manurial constftnents
only $4.36. Besides these elements,
as above shown, we get in each of these
feeding stuffs a large amount of residue,
containing more or less of the
other mineral constituents of all plants
and a large amount of organic matter
made up of carbon, etc., to say nothing
of the very material benefit "to be derived
from its mechanical action upon
the soil, enough we think in every case
to much more than balance the labor
of caring far and properly applying the
manure to the fields.
it may De oojectea tnat mese are
extreme values, and that very muck of
it would be lost or wasted before the
residue reaches the soil. Wc answer,
these are the elements actually contained,
as shown by repeated analysis,
and to purchase andapplv them in any
other form would certainly cost the
sums here named; and that our soils
do nged them is too clearly proven by
the universal cry of poor and . failing
crop%=*n those sectionsfof the country
onc¬ed for their enormous yields;

Methods of Crop Reports.
Crop reporting has always held important
relations to prices, but its
methods were formerly very crude and
unsatisfactory. Neighborhood gossip
of rural regions formed and expressed
local public opinion on production,
without much of system or calculation.
The newspaper of days not very remote
gathered up these opinions,
1/v^coK- of no?r? moon.
lUUOtA J vi ui.vv * iuiu iu\,air
ing, and presented them without much
analysis or interpretation, mainly because
they were susceptible of neither.
In recent days, with development of
official systems, crop reporting has
become popnlar and mere practical,
and mnch improvement in method has
resulted.
- There are a few points essential to
the value of a crop report:
1. Its estimates must have a common
measure of value, meaning the same
to every reader, and susceptible of
tabulation with similar statements.
2. They mnst each cover a definite
territory., Thousands of individual
reports, however accurate, are worthless
withont a knowledge of the pret,
;f?. cise area covered by each. One report
which covers the corn acreage of McLeau
county, Illinois, may refer to a
production "of twelve million bushels,
nrliita o rlATfln AtKorc l'onnpfinor HP.
? tached areas of other counties ia the
same State, would not together represent
a million bushels. In this fact lies
the worthlessness of many a pretentious
effort in crop reporting.
In the department system, reports
are made by counties, making it possi'
"-f": '*' -/
. v
.
ble to perfect average. If an increase
of area of five per cent, is reported, if
is necessary to know whether the
report represents 1,000 or 10,000 acres.
The following explanation of "the
meaning of crop-reporting figures" is
given for the benefit of those who are
not familiar with such methods:
There is occasional inquiry as lo the
moojniur of finrnroc in r*r*r\r\ vannrt.
I lUVUUilig ?."* U^Ul V4 UCVU V4 v^/ I V^/Vi ?<
| in?. The standard of comparison,
; 100, in reports of condition of growing
\ crops, means than the plants occupy
] the ground fnlly, exhibiting a complete
| "stand"; that they appear in full
i healthfulness, uninjured by disease c?
'"insects; and that they have a medium
j growth for the date at which the report
I is made. It means a condition of lull
j development that can only be exceeded
! by some luxuriance ot growth. Hence
it is absurd to report 150 for condition
for most crops. It would misrepresent
the comparative capacity for production.
Cotton, for instance, with medium
growth and i full healthy stand,
promises better results than with great
luxuriance or excess of "weed," which
postpones fruiting and gives smaller
results, unless the date of killing frost
snouici oe unusually lace, in wmcn
case a larger yield might accrue. But
great growth of stalk in a short season
is dreaded bv cotton-growers. So
with wheat and other cereals; excessive
growth is not to be desired, as a
large yield of grain is more valuable
than abundance of straw, which is still
burned by many wheat-growers. In
the matter of hay, luxuriance of growth
is an element of importance, and some
enlargement of the standard, some
increase above 100, is admissible.
It will readily be seen that "condition"
cannot be expressed in bushels
or pounds. There are no bushels of
corn in a fieldjust sprouting, and it is
a misnomer to call first growth a final
product. It is the result of characteristic
American haste thus to discount
the..experiences and. accidents of the
whole season, ana say that three inches
orpofatxpE^ surface means
90 bashels of potato^ per acre. Absurd
blunders in crop>report reading have
often been made in that way. Some
of-tiie^mosL- positive - failures in the
potato crop: have foHowed a condition
Jo! ...average healthiness . ana good
growth on the 1st-of-'August. The
months of August anctOSeptember determine
the potato harvest. Yet the
repiprt of condition' on the 1st of
August, i?;fayorable, will be sure to
be quoted iu September or later, when
the crop has been^destroyed, as an
evidence of inaccuracy- of the report,
when it only evidences the thoughtlessness
"bf unfairness of the critic."
It is true that the public want to
know what these reports of early
growth indicate. It may be proper to
. tKie rvnKKrt onvrnfi* if if
ULUJt UtlO lWI.iiVj.lJ j AX iK JO
understood that the expected result is
subject to the limitations and contingencies
of the future.
Any intelligent reader will pcrceive
from the above that, so far as growth
may indicate a harvest, 100 must point
to different results in different districts.
It may promise 35 bushels per acre in
the. Ohio Yallev, or 15 on the Gulf
coast. Each State must be considered
separately, and all returns consolidated
for an average of the whole field.
This average, which has in some years
been reported at 28 bushels for corn,
would be less with a larger proportionate
area in low-yielding district?, and
larger with an increased proportion in
the great corn-growing States. So it
will be seen at once that a dehnite
figure to represent 100 for corn, wheat,
or any other crop, as a whole, cannot
be made exact and unchangeable, 011
account of the changes in the territoryrepresented
and other circumstances
producing variations in average yield.
Yet there is no difficulty, if all these
changingcircnmstances are considered,
in finding the closely approximate
indications of these figures of condition.
Another fact is obvious from the
above, that 100 iudicates more than an
"average" crop. Corn in this country,
in ten years past, has ranged fir m 18
on " 1? J".
IV 0\J UUSUClfc pet auc 111 UlUCl'Jlll
years, with an average of 26. Wheat
has averaged about 10 bushels in the
worst season, and nearly 14 in the best,
with an average for ten years a little
abovt 12.
- An average crop is the actual mean
rate of yield in a seiies of years, which
include some marked by 3.00 or more,
and others by a much lower figure.
Theu, 100 means full crop, not an
average one.
Perhaps another difficulty may puzzle
the brains of a reader of crop
returns. He may wonder why July
figures are so often higher than those
of August, September and October;
cAm^funoc KirrKm* fho n ihnoo n-f .Tnno
o\suL*^w4?.a?vo ui^uwi tuttu iuvcu VJL V UUV
Then he may be surprised because
some crops appear so generally to
decline. This is apt to occur in cotton
returns. It is simply because June
and July are usually favorable to
growth, while April and May, from
frost or rain, may be unpropitious for
planting and germination, and August
and September are more liable to
drought, subject to insect invasion,
rust and blight. The critical time, in
which insects and disease make havoc,
is just before maturity and fruitage.
There are other crops that have shorter
seasons and fewer changes. Hay i6
soon made. If conditions are favorable
on the first of June a drought must
come speedily to affect the expected
result. Corn that is well reported in
July and August may be represented
hv IDA in OffvihAj* nr n. Irmo- flrrmcrht.
ot* a September frost may cut it down
to 50. These explanations are so obvious
as to seem unnessarv, vet there are
repeated inquiries showing the necessity:
and they are given here for the
benefit of all who fail to understand
the purport of the figures.
So much has been said of "condition."
As the harvest approaches the
result i.< asked by counties in plain
figures-?the yield per acre in bnshels
or pounds, the aggregate county product
compared with the previous year,
etc. At the time of seeding the area
in each county is asked, 100 representing
the number of acres harvested the
previous year.- This system in its
esseutial features^is the"one used by
the most advanced nations in the
world; it has been adopted by the State
bureaus, and by a few newspapers that
attempt to give really systematic crop
returns. Its essential feature, is the
decimal system, which is becoming the
cosmopolitan plan in weights and
measures. It was first used by this
department in crop returns in 1SG4,
upon the organization of its statistical
work. It had previously been used in
crop reporting by Mr Orange Judd in
the American Agriculturist, who was
perhaps the first to use it in this country.
It furnishes simply an opportunity
for nicer discriminations than the
old" nnsystematic and indefinite report
of 4ihalf a crop," "a failure," or
"sftrions damage." thfi intendpd moan
ing of which no one can put in positive
figures. A reporter's deliberate judgment
can certainly be presented, far
more accurately in decimals of a full
crop.
The popularity of the crop reports
is attested by the fact that nearly every
newspaper, grain dealer or speculator
assumes tu have original sources of
crop information, in some cases with
the least modicum of ground for the
assumption. Pretentious estimates,
detailed and specific, have gone the
rounds of the metropolitan and country
press unchallenged and apparently
accepted, which have been copied from
the department estimates of the -previous
year, and made to do daty for the
new crop as original information from
...
V

trustworthy private sources. It would
be well if the press were more discriminating,
making distinction at
least between well-digested and systematic
efforts of legitimate news
papers in statistical collection and the
multitude of charlatans and adventurers
and tools of speculators. There is
room for all legitimate work in crop
statistics; and the best will be done
with modest}* and in the spirit of fairness
and honesty.
Relief from Catarrh.

Sharon Scores a Victor *.
The Supreme Court ot'CV.fornia has
decided that ex-Senator Sharon can
appeal from the decision of the Superior
Court graiiting Sarah Althea
Sharon, nee Hill, divorce, alimony and
counsel fees. The 'decision stipulates
that no alimony shall be paid pending
the filing of an appeal. Sharon's side
is much elated, and Gen. Barnes, chief
counsel for Sharon, in an interview,
said the decision virtually disposes of
the case, as it will now be tried before
another and impartial Judge and
decided on its merits. According to
the wording of the decision, lawyers
say it puts Sarah on the offensive, for
if Sharon docs not appeal for a new
trial she will be compelled to, as all
proceedings are stayed nntil an appeal
is taken. Under any circumstances, it
is now conceded that the backbone of
the conspiracy is broken and that it is

The Color Question in the Church.
At the last session ot the Episcopal
Diocesan Convention of this State,
there was a lively contest over the
presence of two colored clergymen,
who. tinder the ruling of Bishop Howe,
retained their seats as ex-otficio delegates.
The opponents to the admission
of the colored clergymen protested,
and some now take the ground that
the Convention was illegally organized
and its entire action invalid. ConsequeHtly,
at a meeting, last week, of the1
new Standing Committee of the Diocese,
elected by the Convention, resolutions
were adopted declaring that
there were doubts of the legality of the
Convention, but that eiijht of the ten
members, were entitled to seats as
holding over, if not entitled nnder the
election by the Convention, and that
the Committee could, therefore, organize
and fill two vacancies. The Kev.
Dr. Porter, a member of the Committee,
filed a protest against such
action and declined to vote, as by
doing so he would admit the doubt of
the legality of the Convention. There
is deep feeling on the subject among
Episcopalians, and every phase of the
contest is jealously scrutinized.
Mischief Is Wrought
by bad cooking, tough meats, late
hours, business worries, irregular
livers, sour dispositions, evil digestion
aud impure blood. Much of this mischief
can be overcome by the use of
Brown's Iron Bitters?the best tonic
ever made. Mrs. Emilie Crawford,
Reidsville, Ga., writes: "After trying!
Brown's Iron Bitters wo. are nersnaded
that it is all that it claims to be?a!

of others speak in like manner. * 1
The Penitentiary Board.
At the meeting of the Penitentiary
board to-day the report of the Superintendent
Lipscomb concerning the
Twiggs convict camp 011 the Savannah
Yallev Railroad, which he inspected
under instructions from Governor
Thompson, was submitted. After a
carefnl consideration of the report the
following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the board approve
entirely the action of the Governor
and the Superintendent, and their
prompt and vigorous action upon the
reports as to the treatment of convicts
011 the Savannah Valley Kailroad, and
approve the measures taken to prevent
further violation of the law in their
treatment."
This resolution was given to the
papers with the further "statements in
the documents in the whole matter will
be given the press at an early day.
The board concluded to continue the
work on the Canal during July under
the same arrangement with the city as
that in force for the last two months.
Beyond this only routine business was
done. It is understood that a statement
of the condition of the penitentiary
will be made incidentally with
Lhe reports in the convict case.
A. reitnui crime in Jtioruiu.
A special to the Jacksonville, Fla.,
Times-Union, from Citra, Fla., says
that a horrible murder and houseburning
occurred on Thursday near
that place. The only particulars obtainable
are that at about 3 p. m. dense
smoke was seen from Citra in the
direction of ,T. O. Matthews's dwelling.
A party of citizens went out and found
that the house was nearly burned
down. Three bodies were seen in the
flames, and a colored girl ten years
old was lying near with her skull
crushed, but able to speak a little. She
says that a party came to the "house
and killed Martha Lewis, Grade
Lewis aud the baby, all eolored, and
tried to kill her , and then set the
house on fire. The names of the
party are withheld until later as they
! are not yet under arrest. Matthews
j went North a few days ago, leaving
his house in charge of thb Lewis family.
The community is greatly excitcd
over the terrible crime.
A Iiittle Gold Was Spent.
}fr. Z. A. Clark, of Atlanta, Ga., in
speaking of $4SO.00 in gold, desires to say
to the readers of this paper, that the whole
of the above amount was spent in a fruitless
effort in finding relief from a terrible
Blood Poison affecting his body, Iiinbs and

An Intelligent Hor?e.
There can no lonirer hn :tnv doubt
that the iiorse is a ami intelligent
animal. lli? admirers have always
insisted upon his nobility and intelligence,
but very niauy persons have
failed to agree with lheni. They have
asked: "How can an anini.il be called
intelligent who lives in '.err^r o? a
sheet of paper lying in iiis puth, and
wherein consists the nohiiiiy of the
beast who will run away without any
provocation whatever and smash a
valuable carriage and a more or less
valuable driver?" The very fact that
an animal as powerful as the horse will
consent to be a slave seems to show
that he is mean-spirited and s'upid. A
lion or a tiger would utterly refuse to
spend his life in dragging a Third
avenue car, and there can bo no doubt
that in all wild-beast circles public
opinion is very far from accepting the
theory that a norse is cither noble or
intelligent.
It has remained for ;i Boston horse
to vindicate in the most thorough man
ner bis right to the high estimate
placed upon the horse by all horsey
persons. From time immemorial
horses have been introduced into dramatic
representations, anil hitherto
they have accepted without remonstrance
any part which a manager
might assign to them. J hey have
walked meekly on the stage, blinked
at the footlights, and walked off again
at the proper time. Son e horses,
trained to act in "Mazeppa," have allowed
large and heavy actresses to be
lashed to their backs, and have then
solemnly pranced up a winding pathway
of wooden rocks and pretended to
gallop at a speed of nearly two miles
an hour. vWhen one reflects upon the
good that might be done by a really intelligent
dramatic horse, it seems sad
that our stupid horses should so long
have failed to avail themselves of the
opportunities afforded by the stage.
How many oppressive stage villains
might have been suddenly kicked into
a proscenium box, and how many yellow-haired
Mazeppas might have been
lifted by their hair and dropped into
the orchestra?
The Boston horse in question came
on the stage in a quiet and undemonstrative
way, but he had evidently
made up his mind what to do. He
walked promptly to the footlights and
threw himself into the orchestra, landing
on the bass-drum. The harrowing
incidental music came to an abrupt
pause, and the musicians, who had intended
to play "Sweet Violets" at the
end of the act, lied in all directions.
The bass drum was gloriously and irretrievably
smashed, and the horse, having
accomplished his noble work, perrtiirtarl
thfc Ktrnfirnumernries to lead
??
him quietly away.
Here was a noble purpose intelligently
executed. It may be said that the
failure of the horse to kill one or two
fiddlers and the man who plays the
cornet solo was reprehensible, but in
view of the smashing of the bass
drum it would be ungrateful to find
fault with the horse for anything.
He accomplished his grand purpose of
silencing the drum and of frightening
the orchestra so thoroughly that it did
not venture to play "Sweet Violets"
during the whole evening. Let us honor
this noble and intelligent animal,
and hope that hi* example will be followed
by every horse which hereafter
spears on any stage.?New York

The Teeth of Imxnigrafats.
The reporter of the Utica Observer
has been investigating tiie leeth of the
immigrants, with the following inter
esting results:
The immigrant train on the Central
this morning was half an hour late,and
consisted of one solitary car, in which
were forty-seven passengers. "Come
with me and take a walk through the
immigrant car; I would like to show
you tne differences between foreign and
domestic teeth." The speaker, addressing-the
Observers reporter, was
an old and well-known dental surgeon
of this city. "I have come down here
for the express purpose of noting for
myself the teeth of our newly-arrived
cousins," said the dentist, as he led the
way to the train, which was just pulling
into the yard.' In the car were Ger
mans, English, Swedes, two Danes and
four Polish Jews. "Look at that fellow
in the third seat there getting away
with that bacon; see those beautiful
grinders," said the knight of the forceps
as he intently watched a sturdy
German who, with a huge jack-knife,
was cutting alternate slices of schwarzbrod
and bacon which he was putting
under his vest with marvelous rapidity.
His teeth were indeed magnificent
specimens of sound griaders, milky
white, evenly grown and regularly set.
Passing two seats further on were a
mother and two children. The woman
was English, and when spoken to displayed
very beautiful ivories. In answer
to a question of the dentist as to
whether she had ever had any trouble
with her teeth, she laughed and said,
"No, I don't know what toothache is."
Behind her was a group of several persons
chattinsr together, and while talk
ino; they all" displayed perfect teeth.
"How do you account for these people
having such handsome teeth?" was
asked of the dentist. After speaking
of the difference between the thick and
musty odor within the car and the
pure ozone outside, he said: 4,The
whole difference is in the food that is
eaten. These people at home were
wont to eat the coarsest kind of food;
they never touch sweetmeats or delicacies
of any kind, and consequently the
acids which are in all fancy tidbits do
not touch their teeth. Therefore, decayed
teeth are some;hing utterly unknown
to them. 1 have not the least
doubt that some of these people never
a K VirnoVi Thpv don't think
B*" t. ^
of their teeth at all, and yet they look
as pearly and round as if "a dentist examined
them every day."

Slugging as a Society Craze.
A tall, thin-chested youn? man, with
his shirt-sleeves rolled up displaying a
pair of exceedingly scrawny arms, stood
vigorously punching a rubber bag suspended
by a cord from the ceiling of a
small, dingy room in the top story of a
teeming business block. Each blow
sent the bag flying toward the ceiling,
from where it instantly returned with
considerable force. The perspiring
young man rained blows at the bounding
bag, but often missed it.
"Keep it up; it's the best work in the
world, said a broad-shouldered, under-sized,
elderly man encouragingly.
For ten minutes the young man continued
his exercise, and then sank into
a heat) in a chair and panted.
"He's one of my p'upils," said the I
, professor of sparring, "and he's getting
on great, ain't he?" turning to the
breathless youth. The latter winked
his eyes faintly to indicate that he was
and then lumbered painfully into an
adjoining dressing-room.
"That s one of my latest pupils taking
his lesson," said the professor.
"The present boom in pugilism brought
him to me with a lot of others. Some
of them made good ones. I just wish
that one man whom I taught would
stand up before one of these blowhard
professionals. He's a regular dude, a
society swell who couldn't lift 200
pounds, and who smokes cigarettes,
but he's a terror. Another la-la who
has a responsible linancial position
could knock out twice his 3ize."?Chicago

A WOMAN.
[ trom. the Atlanta Constitution.]
"My name is Mary Chapman, and I live
at the corner of Williams and Cox streets,
Atlanta. I have been a dreadful sufferer
from scrofula and running, eating scrofu- i
lous ulcers for six years. Have been waited
upon during the time by seven Atlanta (
physicians, but they failed to cure me. I
also used various advertised remedies
without the least benefit. While being ;
thus treated, I grew worse all tlie lime.
Scrofulous swellings on both sides of my
neck?which became running, eating sores,
affecting my throat, mouth and nos*. The
eating sores on my neck were a mass of
corruption almost down to the bones. My
throat became so much "affected tjiat I
could scarcely swallow, my f--?od lodging in <
a portion of my throat. I lost my appetite
entirely, lost inv flesh, and was reduced to
60 pounds weight?being a mere skeleton.
My whole system became terribly poisoned
and in a fearful condition. In this condition
I commenced the use of B. B. 1*., and
found great relief in the first bottle. !
"When I had used five bottles my health
liad so much improved that the ulcers were
all healed, the swelling subsided, my appetite
returned, my skin became active,
my strength returned, and I gained 44
pounds of flesh. I am now healthy, fat
and hearty, and am able to do as "much
work as any woman, and feel as happy as
a lark."
KIDNEY COMPLAINT.
For over six years I have been a terrible ;
sufferer from a troublesome kidney complaiut
for the relief <3f which I have" spent
over $250 without benefit, and most noted
so-called remedies proving failures. The :
use of one single bottle of B. B. B. has
been marvelous, giving more relief than all ,
other treatment combined. It is a quick ,
cure, while others, if they cure at all, are '
in the distant future. (
