The ballot box is now open and sample prize piano is for view at the stara of Summer & Hipp, where you are invited to try it. Arrangements have been made with The Heraild and News by which you can get 200 votes for each dollar that you pay on renewal of your subscrip tion or for new subscriptions. This gives you two opportunities to take the chance at this beautiful piano. ** * CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK. * * * * Article 26-Part I. *. * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * In relily to criticisms that we some-1 times hear, that Clemson college will g not analyze sample of fertilizers un- a less we first know who manufactured j them and what they claimed to con tain, I wish to make the following ex plantation of just who these samples are drawn and passed through the of-t fice to the chemists who analyze them, It and which will show such criticisms 1 are unjust and without any founda tion, in fact. The laws on this subject recognize 1 and provide for only two classes of C these samples, first: Official samples I drawn by inspectors sent out for that:e purpose, and 2nd: Farmers' or pur- 1 chasers' samples. sent to the college by the farmer or purchaser when drawn in accordance with laws gov erning this subject.f Section 1530 of statutes of this Statec requires the trustees of Clemson col -I lege to send their official inspectors to get samples of all commercial far- C tilizers they find sold, or offered for I sale, and send these samples to the I coU1ege for analysis. For this purpose the State is divided into twelve divis ions. regard being had to railroad fac tories and volume of fertilizer tra'.e. To each of these districts an inspec.. t tor is sent, instructed to go often to I every depot and cross roads where; commercial fertilizers are sold or de- 1 livered, and draw samples from each E brand. The sample must be taken 1 from at least one-tenth of the lot-for ' instance, if 100 sacks in -lot, he must draw fr- 1 at ten: if 50 sacks. I then im frve- F sg Ehan ten. from re placed on a paper or clean board. .nd after being carefully mixed, a; ample bottle of 2 ounces is filled. "his bottle is sealed by placing melted vax on the cork, upon which while till warm, is impressed a metallic eal which would show any tampering vith the sample. On this bottle is ,lued a label giving the number, the nspector's name, and the date of the Irawing. The inspector now writes )n a sheet of paper the same number Ls that on the label and an exact copy )r description of every brand or mark ound on the sack or package, which nust contain the manufacturer's name Lnd address, the weight and the guar mnteed analysis. All this has been done n the presence of a witness who mites with the inspector in an affi lavit'that this was a fair and repre ,entative sample of the lot, and that t was drawn, sealed and numbered >efore the signing. This paper con :aining the description is then wrap ped about the sample bottle and ex pressed to this office. The descrip tive paper is here .carefully pasted in large invoice book kept for the pur pose, and the sample is sent by num ber only to the chemist. Suppose the; number of the sample was 450. We send sample No. 450 to the chemist with instructions to hunt for the three ingredients, and with positively no other marks to indicate who male it or what it contained. After its analy sis Is made, copy of same sent me by the chemist. This is pasted carefully by the side of the inspector's descrip tion. and both are published in a bul letin. Until then, positively, the chem ists no more know who made the fer tilizer, or what it contained, than a government mule. I alone have the information, which I am obliged to have, or I could not later publish it for the benefit of the farmers who buy fertilizers. Can any better method be devised for insuring both to buyer and seller absolute fairness and ac curacy, both in the drawing and ana lyzing of these official samples? H. M. Stackhouse, Secretary Board. PEOPLE WITH BIG BRAINS. Some of the Largest Heads on Record Belonged to Lunatics. Is there any truth in the commonly accepted idea that a big brain is nec essarily. associated with a 'big mind? The human brain consists of five major divisions, which, though inti mately connected, are severely distinct as to function. Named from below up ward these parts are the medulla, pns midbrain, cerebellum and cere-! brum. All parts of the brain are per meated by nerve fibers, and are there ore concerned in the transmission of serve impulses; but at least three parts are primarily occupied with oth er business. The medulla, which is he stalk-like connection between the brain and the spinal cord, contains auclei of nerve 'cells, which propel the ieart, lungs, blood vessels and so on. he pons is a -broad band of fibers. which serves to connect the right and eft sides of the :base of the brain. The nidbrain is the forked upward exten ;ion of the medulla, a prong passing nto each of the great hemispheres' f the cerebrum, and, !like the pons, he midbrain is chiefly a conducting ortion of the brain. The cerebellum, r "little 'brain," lies under the back art of the cerebrum and' on top of he pons. It is the regulator of vol ntary muscular motion. An animal leprived of its cerebellum can move, eel and think, but can not controll its novements. Finally, we come to the ~erebrum, the largest division of the rain, which overhangs the other four livisions in the form of two big con roluted hemispheres divided by a deep ongitudinal fissure. In these hemis >heres reside the physical mechanism If consciousness-reason, feeling, vill. Here, let us observe, that of he five parts of the brain, oily one, he cerebrum, has to do with the intel ect. In fishes the cerebrum is the mallest part of the brain. Accord tgly, though the whale has a larger t 'rain than man, most of the brethren d 'f Jonah are possessed of higher intel- c igence than is exhibited by the larg-'I st of fishes. The whale has more c rains, but man has more cerebrum. I A cross section of th'e cerebrum I hows that this part of the brain is t aade up of a large core of white nerve hers and a comparativerly thin rind f nerve cells or gray matter. In anii- i aals of low intelligence, rodents, for ixample, the coating of gray matter is a :omparatively smooth over the sur- c ace of the cerebrum. But in higher a .nimals the gray matter is seen to t ip down into grooves and fissuresa low and then. an arrangement which a ecires more gray matter to cover a t rain of given' size than is required a o cover the smooth brains of a rat. In aan the infolding of gray matter is arried to a high degree of complex ty. But in idiots the brain is smooth r and less convoiluted than in intel igent men. Consequently an imbecile r night have a larger cerebrum 'than ai right man, but less gray matter. The c 'rains of children are' less convoluted han~ thos' of thcir elders.
