Wednesday, February 15,1905. Commercial Fertilizers. To the Editor of the Dispatch: la my Ust correspondence tc the Dispatch I promised to have something more to say on the cost and value of commercial fertilizers. ! The best and cheapest way to buy | fertilizers is to buy tne different inI gradients in a raw state and do the I - l. t? \ UllXlDg ac UUUiti. XU uhaiug t?v uuujc j | we fcaow exactly what we have. B> buying the ingredients sep irately | they can be. bought for about the following prices lor the amount of available plant food that they contain: available phosphoric acid five cents per pound; potash five cents per pound, and ammonia fifteen cents per pound. Now let us see what a ton of 8, 2, | 2 goods are worth at the above p? ices. VVe will first take the available phos pOoric acid. To find this we multiply twenty by eight and find that there is 160 pounds of available phosphoric acid in one ton. Multiply the 160 by five, the price per pound of available acid; we fiad that the acd is worth $8 00 Next we will take the potash. Multiplying twenty by two we find forty pounds of potash in one ton, which i? worth five cents per pound, or $2 00 for the forty pounds. The uo per cent of ammonia will be ferry pounds in one ton and rnuki- ! plying this by fifteen we find tbat the ammonia is worth $G 00. making a total of $1C 00 The fertilizer dealers charge from $20 00 to $2100 per ton for this guano. By mixing 1,000 pounds of 14 per cent acid, 700 pounds of cotton seed meal and 75 pounds of muriate of potash or 300 pounds of katnit, as j good a guano can be made as the 8, 2, 2 goods. I have bad experienfce wit a this work for the past two years I would advise the use of high grade goods except for the ammonia. High grade acid can be bought cheaper in proportion to the amount of plant food contained than low grade can. I have been told by ioc*l farmers that muriute of potash will give better results than kaiuit, i and as it contains four times as much nntash as kainit it is not cecesearv r ? w io use only one fouttb as much. For ammooia use cotton seed meal as it is vegetable matter and what is not plant food will decay and make j oumus. Humus is any vegetable or j animal matter that has decajed and j is very important in plant growth, j Lands that contain a sufficient j amount of humus is always loose. All litter, such as grass aDd weeds | or pine straw that is on the lands should be plowed under in the fall as it will then decay and supply humus for succeeding crops. But i ch* best way to supply humus and ! at the same time improve lands is j to plant ihem to leguminous crops, such as peas, velvet beans, or clovers and make hay of these crops to feed beef cattle and then return the ma- ! nute from these cattle fo the ?arm I lands. Ia this way they can supply 1 plant food io the most profitable i fatm and at the same time supply i a sufficient amount of humus. The farmer that uses only com- j meicial fertilizes will find that it is j impossible for him to improve his j lands. Commercial fertilizers are only intended to supply plant focd for the immediate crop to which tney are applied and not to improve I ho <x na VUV . U JUUi Another mistake id using ferti- ; lizers is in applying large quantities i on shallow and pojil? prepared ! j lands. Such soils cannot use much j plant food in their crop growth as j the hard pan will not permit the j roots of the growing crops to reach : down ra the iaod'for moisture. For i these reasons tb?;crops will drown in wet weather and dry up in dry weather. If a farmer wishes to use large amounts of fertilizers of any i k?od he should have a good deep | mellow soil for hfc plants to grow in. j ; J.

People the world over were horrified on learning of the burning of a Chicago theater in which nearly six hundred people lost their lives, yet more than five times this number or over 3,000 people died from pneumonia in Chicago during the same year, with scarcely a passing notice. Every one of these cases of pneumonia resulted from a cold and could have been prevented by the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A great many who had every reason to fear pneumonia have warded it off by the prompt use of this remedy. The following is an instance of this sort: 'Too much cannot be said in favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and especially for colds and influenza: I know that it cured my daughter, Laura, of a severe cold and I believe saved her life when slie was threatened with pneumonia."
