Spend Your Money at Home.
Here is the experience of a far
mer near Centralia. Ten years
ago he put an X mark on a silver
dollar and went to town and spent
it with a merchant. Before the
year was out he got the marked
dollar back for poultry and spent
it with a Centralia merchant.
Four tihies in six years that dol
lar came home to him for pro
duce and three other times he
heard of it in the pockets of his
neighbors. The last time he got
it in exchange nearly four years
ago, he sent it to Montgomery,
Ward & Co., the Chicago mail
order house that has. amassed a
hundred million dollars by sell
ing third rate goods for second
rate prices. He has not seen the
marked dollar since and never
will till the crack of doom. That
dollar will never pay any more
school or road tax for him, never
help build up the town or coun
try, never bless or brighten the
homes of his neighbors. He sent
it entirely out of the circle of its
usefulness. Moral: Spend your
dollars where vou will get
chance at them again; where
they will help pay your taxes
build your bridges, educate your
children and enhance the value
of your farms.—Ex.

Potash—it* Improtanca aa a Plant
Food; Sourca* From Which Derived.
Wood Aahea—Stassfust Deposits..
The only source of potash known
to our fathers was ashes, mainly wood
ashes, and while potash from this
source is a most excellent manure,
yet evidently the quantity available
must be quite limited. The great
majority of soils, especially those
which contain much clay, usually hold
a large reserve of potash, and do not
appear to require the special appllca
tton of potash aa a manure. Light
aandy soils on the other hand, and
aonte clay soils also appear to be quite
deficient In potash sod are muoh bene
fited' by applications of that fertilizer,
Soils of this nature, therefore, stand
as much in need of constant potash ma-
During as of phosphoric add and ni
trogen applications.
Wood ashes, whilst they may ba
cheap and easily obtained in countries
where large forest areas are to be
cleared, in older countries cannot be
so easily obtained. Long before ter
tliisers became a commercial commod'
tty wood ashes were highly thought
of by farmers. But usually when
farmer buys ashes he buys in the
dark, owing to the fact that ashes
▼ary so widely in their contents of
potash. As a rule, ashes from hard
woods are richer in potash than thoae
from soft woods. The ash of the red
oak for instance contains about 6 per
cent of potash, that of the hickory
about 9 per cent, some pine woods
about 414 per cent, tfo definite per
centage, however, can ba laid down for
any special wood, aa the same wood
will vary in different localities, and
the wood of different pnrta of the
name tree will vary, the aahes from
the twigs and young limbs being rich
er in potash than the aahea from the
body or trunk of the tree.
It Is impossible to fix tho value of
a lot of ashes, except by special analy
st! of tbe particular lot, owing to this
groat variability In composition, and
owing to tho further fact that the
aahea may hnva bean leachad or mixed
with more or loot dirt. Tho average
analysis for good unleached aahea may
be taken ns I per cent of potash, 1%
per cent of phosphoric acM, and 12 V4
per cent of lime. According to tbs
values for fertilisers adopted for tbs
preaent season, a ton of good average
ashes at the coast should bs worth
tour dollars and flftaen cents. This
calculation allows no value to tbo lime,
although of course It has a decided val
ue on such soils as ar# deficient in It.
Luckily since the middle of the last
century, farmers have eecn no longer
compelled to roly bn aahes as a source
of potash, hut have come to adopt t»
their stead almost universally what
are known na the German or Btnssfurt
potash salts.
These salts are mined- In Stmssfurt
in northern Germany, In the province
of Saxony. They were discovered by
the Prussian government while boring
for rock salt about the year 1857. At
first they were considered worthless,
hut soon the great Chemist Liebig
began publishing his discoveries con
cernlng plant growth and nutrition,
showing potash to be an essential and
much-needed element In the growth
and development of plants. This led
to the development of the potash
mines, and the utilization for agrlcul
ture of the precious salts contained in
them, The first potash salt works
for the manufacture and sale of the
potash salts was established in Stass-
furt in 1862. Some of the crude ores
are suited for agricultural me just as
they are dug from the mines, and are
known as Kalntt, Camallite, Sylvlnit,
The Kainlt cofftatlns on an average of
about 12V4 i>«r cent of potash, the
Camallite about 10 per cent, aud the
Sylvlnit 16 per cent of potash. As
there is a great demand fbr these
products all over the world, and the
freightage to long distances Is quite
an Item, it became desirable to concen
trate the potash in these natural prod
nets as much as possible, so as to
avoid the cost of transportation on the
salts contained in them useless to agrt
culture.
The great factories of the "German
Kali Works” now prepare from the
crude Kainlt, Camallite and Sylvlnit,
muriates of potash containing 45 per
cent, 50 per cent and 55 per cent of
actual potash, aleo sulphates of pot
ash cifctaining from 48 to 62 per cent
of actual potash, also what is known as
"Double Manure Salts” with 26 per
cent of potash. A complete analy
sis of aR these various products and
some others will be found on another
page of this bulletin.
These deposits are practically Inez-
haustlble in quantity and will Supply
the agricultural world for many years
to come. Should they ever become
exhausted doubtless new discoveries
will be made, and if not, potash could
doubtless be obtained, though, of
course, at greater cost, from such wa
ters as those of the "Dead Sea.” Then
need, therefore, be no fear of the sup
ply rtfnnlng short. Having now giv
en yoh a brief account of the differ
ent raw materials used In the man
ufacture of "guano,’’ or commercial
fertilizers, we will next consider tho
methods In use by the manufacturers
for converting these raw materials
Into finished products.
The Add Phosphite Industry—Daaer)*-
tlon of Procaaa of Manufacture.
The foundation of the great modem
Industry of commercial fertilisers Is
the manufacture of superphosphate^
or as It la mom generally know* t*
this country of acid phosphate of
Ume. The materials necessary for
thla manufacture are sulphuric acid
and phosphate rock. The plant re
quired for tho manufacture of sul
phuric acid is a costly one* and tho
process la somewhat complicated.
Either brimstone from Sicily, or
pyrites, which is a compound of sul
phur and Iron, some of which is Im
ported from Spain and soma produoed
from mines in this country^ are the
raw materials used iu the manufac
ture. »
The brimstone-or pyrites are burned
In specially constructed burners, and
the sulphurous gases which result from
the burning are caused to mix with
nitrous gases produced from nitrate of
soda, and drawn Into great towers
made of lead and packed with flints;
thence they are drawn into Immense
leaden chambers or rooms, usually
three in a row connected togother. In
these chambers the sulphurous and ni
trous gases are mixed with steam, and
condensed into sulphuric acid, which
falls In rain on the floors of the lead
en chambers. It Is necessary to con
struct these chambers of lead, because
almost any other material would ^e
destroyed and eaten out by the action
of this corrosive acid. ,
The phosphate rock is hauled to tho
factory, usually a building located
alongside'the sulphuric acid chambers,
it Is there thrown Into crushers which
break it Into small pieces; thence con
veyed to tho grinding , machinery,
alther steel mills or buhrstones,
where it is pulverised into a fine meal
or flour. You would naturally ask
at this point, why not use this fine
phosphate meal directly on tbe soil,
without mixing it with the caustle
corrosive sulphuric add? It Is sim
ply because this msal Is of a rocky
nature and only dissolves with diffi
culty In the soil waters, and wa have
soon plants require their food to bo
easily soluble In water,, so that tho
roots suck It In. The phosphate rock
meal, no matter how finely ground,
dlssolvee only to n very limited ex
tent In water, and It Is necessary to so
treat It na to liberate the rock-hound
phosphoric add; and render It solu
ble In water. Hence tho necessity
for tho sulphuric add.
The phosphate meal (say It Is from
South Carolina rock, sad contains IS
per cent of phosphoric add, combined
with lime to form 61 per cent of bone
phosphate of lime) ts first weighed,
and we will take say 1,000 pounds of
It, end dump It Into a circular cast-iron
mixer, into which has already been
Introduced 1,000 pounds of aulphurto
add of the proper strength.
The add and meal are' now thor
oughly mtxed togethed by machinery
In the iron pan. The mixture be
comes very hot, the strong sulphuric
add attacks the lime combined with
the phosphoric add of the phosphate
meal with amazing and furious Ener
gy and appropriates to Itself the great
er part of the lime In the form of sul
phate of lime, gypsum or land-piaster,
and liberates the same moment tbe
phosphoric add, which is only allowed
to retain Its hold on a small part of
the lime, with which It was first'com
bined.
This smaller portion of lime and
the phosphoric add with which It la
combined is what the chemists call
ntono-calclc-phosphate, or superphos
phate Sf Ume. ft ts also known as
the add phosphate of Ume. This
add phosphate of 'lime, or superphos
phate, Is soluble in water; we have,
therefore, accomplished what we set
out to do, rendered the phosphoric
add soluble. This dlcovery was mado
by the great chemist Liebig, who thus
put the entire world In bis debt, lay
ing the foundations of the great fer
tilizer industry, and rendering an in
estimable boon to modern agriculture.

use of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm for rheu.
mutism and lumbago,” says Mrs. Adds
Hagclgaus, of Tuckahoe, N. J. ‘‘My
husband used it for a sprained back and
was also quickly relieved. In fact, it Is
