Thomson and had it baled by Messrs.
J. C. A J. E Clint t on tiieir Hound
Bale press. This is the first round

'this halo wan sold for 10c n.pound.
Messrs R. A. Wilson and K O.
Morris are tho first bale men of this

Happily Married-
For lack of time last week wo could
not offer our congratulations to our
valued young friends, Mr, lticlmrd
Bush and Miss Willio McCorkle up
"on their happy marriage; but we do
so now with undiminished heartiness.
There rite some unions in this life
in which destiny, if not Divinity, is
tho guiding power ; and, when two
lives and hearts nro fitted and con
genial, marriage is the blessed ro
'ward for tbeir'truth and constancy.
We have rarely chronicled a rnarri
riage in which wo havo felt a deeper
interest. The bridegroom is ouo of
our best and roost worthy yumig
men, industrious, energetic, reliable,
and, withal!, steadfast ill religious
duties, while tho fair young bride, in
addition to personal graces and at
tractions of a very high order, hits
few intellectual ]>eers, with tho gold
eu advantage of irue Christian homo
training, which In a sure foundation
for a beautiful and happy llow honio
life.
Upon this most auspicious union
scores of true friends are showering
congratulations and blessings, and
among them all there are none more
sincere than ours.

FERTILIZERS AND OILS
Commissioner 0. B. Stevens’
Monthly Talk to Farmers.
Partial Review of ths Work of the Ag.
rleultural Department to Date.
When I first came Into tho agricult
ural department, believing that the nub
ile demands required that we should
bttvo a perfect record of all the acts and
doings In this department, so that the
people at all times might tie able to got
Such Information as we could furnish,
or that tbo public might desire, I Inau
gurated a thorough system of bookkeep
ing, by moans of Which this information
could be readily obtained. For want of
sufficient means with which to do the
work of the department, wo havo been
handicapped to tome extent. Ilowevor,
-the records ure in such shape that any
matter pertaining to this office can bo
fully and ix-rfoclly understood, and
every item that comes Into the depart
ment or goes cut of it is fully accounted
for. I believe that the publio is entitled
to know what this department of the
state government is doing.
ON THE QtIKKTIOM OV FERTILIZERS.
Having had some 83 years’ experience
in the use of and having
some knowledge of the ingredients
which go to make up those mixtures, I
have done my beat tosoo thatconsumers
should bo thoroughly protooted, ns Is
now provided for by law. With this
object in view I have visited in person
V number of the largor manufacturing
establishments and examined the erode
material, to satisfy myself that it was
such as wonld produce good results, and
was suited to tho purpose for which it
wus intended—that of supplying the
elements of a wholesome crop food.
These personal Inspections havo boon
thorough, aud 1 hope have brought
about good results. Early in last Feb
ruary I published in the press of tho
stato tho following article:
"Upon tho question of fertilizers thoro
lias heretofore been grout complaint
among the iwoplo of the state—espe
cially from the consumers - that the
Inspections aud analyse# of fertilizers
were not complete, and that the plant
ers wero not properly protected by this
department. Now, whether there has
been any reason for this general talk I
do not know; but In order that there
may be no ground for such complaints
In tho futuro, I have fully maue up my
mind, as fur as it is possible for this de
partment to do, 1 will inspect all of the
fertilizers and have analyses made of
tho same. With this iu view lam now
getting np samples from all parts of the
state where goods can lie found, and I
havo urged the inspectors to ha diligent
in making tliuir inspection;', in oyder to
gut proper and correct samples, that both
tho consumer aud manufacturer may
bo properly protected.
’’One other thing. I invito all of tho
consumers of the state, uud retail agents
who are selling to consumers, that when
they desire an inspection made of for
tUlpera In their hands, if they will make
such a request of this department. I
will have an inspector to go at once,
take samples and send them to this de
partment, when an analysis will be
made.
“In making such inspections it is proper
to state that In. no case will they bo
made from broken bags or packages.
When a sample is taken from a package
It most be iu Its original condition.
This is tho law under which we are
working.
"Asa matter of fa:t, the consumers of
fertilizers pay all ot the tux on fertilis
ers sold iu this state, therefore they are
entitled to full and ample protection;
and, so far as this department is con
cerned, it will be my pleasure to see
that all safeguards ere thrown around
that the law allows. No manufactu
rer will object to this. Honest manu
facturers and dealers are willing to have
a true and correot iuspootion and analy
sts made of their goods."
The above has boon Btrietly complied
with. Hundreds of special samples
have beon sent to this department, aud
lu every Instance tho analysis has been
promptly made aud the result mailed to
the party at Interest I trust that tho
methods adopted by me have brought
about good results and that the farmers
and consumers feel that they have been
amply protected by the Department of
Agriculture in this particular, for it has
beon my -most earnest desire to see that
such should be the ease.
I oui clearly of the opinion that the
multiplicity of brands of fertilisers is
Wrong aud misleading. For instance,
we have registered in this department
some 1,800 brands, when in reality wo
should uot have over ten grades of fer
tilizers. Ido not believe that guanos
should bo solo by brand, but that they
should to sold by grade, for tho very
reason that the multiplicity of brands
new on the markot create con fusion and
arc calculated to mislead tho farmer.
Wo have so much law upon this ques
tion that It is difficult for tho mannfact
j urers to conform strictly to all require
ments. aud. In truth, it ts difficult even
for this department to construe these
laws.
Till. QUIBTION OF OILS.
This department has charge ot the oil
business of tho state. I have the ap
pointment of tho local oil inspectors.
These inspectors are required to inspect
all oils that come into the stato. They
arc required to reject all oils that do not
cotuo up to tho test required by law of
110 degrees Fahrenheit, uud to make
monthly and quarterly reports to this
office, showing the test of oach ship
ment of oil that is permitted to go to
vale, aud to remit the moneys tielonging
to tho state to the state treasurer. I
have kept a pet loot record of all tho
acts anil doings of each inspector lu
Georgia. Looking to the more thorough
j it consists of a small glass vessel,
j is immersed in a copper vessel
water. The water is heated
alcohol lamp, which traos
heat through the water to the
! oKow, the law prescribes just how
j BPtest is to be made as follows; "Heat
wHpii alcohol, small fame; when the
thermometer indicates 60 degrees Fah
renheit remove lamp, at 65 degrees try
for flash with small bead of fire on end
| of string, held within a qnarter of an
; inch of tho surface of the oil. Replace
lamp and werk oil np gradually from
this point, until tbo burning point is
reached, removing lamp every four de
grees aud allowing oil to run np three
degrees before replacing lamp, flashing
j oil each time fust before lamp is re
placed, until result Is obtained."
Evidently the anthor of the above bo
lioved that "language was designed to
; conceal thought." Let us suppose tho
; Inspector making his test and following
the strict letter of the law. Lot us sap
‘ pose that he has brought tho oil np to
a temperature of 11(1 degrees and has
tried for flash without result, he re
places bis lamp, following tho strict let
| ter of tho law and waits till the tem
perature reaches 120 degrees, when he
: removes the lamp and then waits till
' tho tomperutore reaches 128 degrees be
| foro le tries for flash again. We have
| here an interval of 7 degrees, at any one
: of which the oil may have flashed or
! burned without tho inspector, who
tracked the law closely, being aworo of
it. Evidently this isnousento, and can
not be the meaning of the law, because
tbo law ulso says "no kerosene or fluid
! of any sort, the fire test of which U less
than 120 degrees Fahrenheit, shall be
| sold within thi# stato,’’ and yet, accord
ing to the formula prescribing the exact
way in which to make the tost, it would
j be Impossible to detect an oil, the tire
test of which lay between lit! degrees
and 120 degrees Fahrenheit, tho legal
| limit. Again, what does tho "firetesv”
| mean? Does it moan the "flash” point
|or tho "burning" point of the oil? It
cannot lie settled except as against the
consumer, from the languago of this
law; evidently the flash point is the
point of danger, or the point at which
inflammable, explosive vapor is given
off; and yet tho law says "work the oil
up gradually until the burning point is
reached, flashing the oil each time, un
til tho result is obtained.” What re
sult? Manifestly the burning point.
Now if this law was not drawn by tho
attorneys and chemists of the oil oom
panics, it might just as well have been.
Nothing whatever is said lu the law
about the necessity for avoiding drafts
of air, which might blow away the
vapor from the surface of the testing
cup before tho operator could apply his
flame, no caution to the operator to
avoid breathing upon tho surface, either
of which accidents would cause tho oil
to appear batter than it really was. I
mention these as sorno of the reasons
why no bjame should attach to your in
•pectors.'if their results varied a few
degrees from mine, or for that matter
even if they passed almost "any old
oil" that might be pnt upon the market.
The investigations of the British gov
erument, of Drs. Chandler and Elliott,
chemists for the New York state board
of health, havo demonstrated conclu
sively that tho open form of tester Is a
wholly unreliable instrument, and thut
a dused tester, imitating as uoarly os
possible tbo conditions which obtain in
an ordinary lamp, ts tho form which
should be adopted. Elliott, ufter trying
all tho various forms of open and closed
testers in use, finally settled upon a
form of closed tester which gave him
tho most uniform results, and which
was adopted by tho state board of
health of New York. Tho New York
law recognizes the fact that the flash
point is the danger point, the point at
which explosive, inflammable vapors
ure given oil. It says nothing about
“Fire test or burning point," but adopts
100 degrees F., in a tester like a lamp,
as the limit below which an otl shall
not flash. 1 have made tests of acme 30
different oils from different parte of the
state by our own tester and also by the
Now York state instrument, and my
results fully confirm theirs. Only two
oils out of the 80 examined would bo al
lowed to go to sale in the state of Now
York. Muuy of those which would be
rejected In New York as unsafe and ou
fit for public uso would not only pass lu
our stato, but would be regarded as ex
tra good quality. Seme of our oils, also
In tho Now York instrument, at the or
dinary temperature withont tlio applica
tion of nay heat, would emit explosive
vapor. There is a clause lu our law
which says: "The fire test shall be de
termined by an inspector, who shall
uso Tagliabne'B or other xrjt itrjtned In
sfrwm,nt ; TiXcj b.j (Ac Ci nttHln-iiooer
of Agriculture.” Now. sir. I recom
mend that you take advautage of this
clause and Immediately ordor the adop
tion of the New York state instrument
by your inspectors. While It is true
tho law 6ays uothing about yonr chang
ing the fire test of 120 degrees F., It
does authorize you to change the Instru
ment, and must, by implication, give
you the power to change the tempera
ture and mode of operation to that most
suitable for the uew instrument adopted.
I issue this, sir, as an Lot. rj. ncy Itcj.orl
in view of the quantity of unsafe oil at
present on the market in Georgia, aud
against which our present law and sys
tem of inspection afford tho people no
adequate protection. Between now aud
the next meeting of the legislature I pro
pose to go more thoroughly iutothe sub
ject than 1 have as yet had an opportu
nity to do, and submit to you a further
report and recommendations on the
jock Respectfully submitted.

i inspection of oil sold in this state, and
| believing that we should have a better
; grade than was then being sold, so early
;as last winter, when the legislature
was in session, I requested that body
to permit me to appoint an oil
inspector for the state at large, whose
dnty it sbonld lie to overlook the work
of the local inspectors, to see that
their instrument# were iu proper condi
tion, to see-ihat the methods employed
in inspecting oil wore proper and uni
form, as recommended by the stato
' chemist. In addition to tills, it would
be bis duty, acting iu co-operation with
the local inspectors, to see that every
I tank, barrel or package of oil that came
i Into the state was properly Inspected and
: branded before the same should be per
; muted to go to sale. While I make no
, charge or insinuation against either of
i the oil companies now doing business in
j this sta’o. at tho same time I conceive it
to be the duty of tbis department to see
! fhat none tut pure oil is permitted to
go to sale, in order that tbo life and
! property of the people shall be fully
and amply protected. Entertaining
these views, I urged the legislature to
pass the bill refered to; but for some
reason it tailed to receive the sanction
of that toiy. Therefore, I have boen
| forced to rely entirely upon the local
Inspectors aud upon my personal efforts
' to see that the requirements of tho law
oro complied with. Th i result of these
! efforts have been shown by the letter of
: the state chemist to me, aud by the or
' ders subsequently issued by this depart
| meut, alkof which will be found else
wore iu this monthly talk. I have boen
as diligent as possible in protecting tho
people, and in overy way thut I could
uuder the present law, which I re
garded as defective lu mauy particu
lars.. However, the people from now
need have no fear that any spurious oils
will be sold in tbis stato. During tho
present mouth I have seized and con
demned abont 750,000 gallons of oil,
at different points, careful analysis
by the state chemist and oil inspectors
in those places having shown said
oil to bo below the safety test required
by the laws of Georgia. The refiners
have been notified to bring said oil up
to the legal standard, or else remove it
from the state, and I shall see to it that
this order is strictly enforced. I have
made it a personal dnty to sec that the
various inspectors of the state inspect
prop* rly and scientifically the oils that
pass through their hands; and I hope
when the legislature meets it will give
us such laws a# will more fully and am
ply protect iho people in this state.
THE CROPS.
1 regret to say that in many parts
of our stato we have had no rain for
from eight to nine weeks, and
in sotno sections tho corn crop,
it would appear, will be almost a
failure. The cotton is quite small,
but with good seasons from now on we
may have" a fairly good crop. I
nrge our farmers to commence at the
earliest niouieut to save all the
forage they can, in order to help oat the
short crop, aud early in the season they
should pnt in plenty of oats and wheat,
that it may not be necessary to buy
feed stuff uoit spring and summer.
lu conclusion, let me again urge upon
the farmers of Georgia to continue the
reform in our system of farming. We
should by all moans raise everything
possible that is used upon the farm, at
home, thereby making our cotton crop
a surplus. Let us make one mare des
perate effort to raise our own provi
sions, and compost our owu fertilizers,
and breed our own stock, aud jnst so
far us possible pay cash for everything
we buy. We cannot afford to bay pro
visions at time prices, and raise cotton
to sell at the present market value. This
means ruin to the farmers and wili hold
in chock tho progress of our entire
state. You will note in each commu
nity that the farmers who prosper are
the corn raisers, tho men who raise their
own supplies and make cotton a sur
plus crop. 1, tboreforo, earnestly nrgo
you to adopt this system and provide
on your farm the things that are used
at yonr homo. When we havo aoeom
pitshed this we have reached tho point
of prosperity, and not only will the
farmers be benefited, but every class of
people In Georgia.

Emergency R-port of the State
< h.ml.t on Oils.
Atlanta. On., July 8. 1839.
Hog. (X R Stevens, Commissioner of
Agriculture:
Dkau Sin—During the past winter and
spring yon sent several of your newly
appointed otl inspectors to me to be in
structed to tho use of their instruments.
My attention was in this way called to
the very crude aud anoient instrument
which we havo been using for testing
oils in Ueorgia for many years past,
and also to tho very bad, and unfortu
nately worded law on the subject uow
on the statute books of tho state. Sus
pecting that the methods in uso were
giving us but little protection from un
safe oils, during a lull in the enormous
volume of fertilizer analysis we have
been doiug, I suggested that yon order
each of the inspectors to send me a sam
ple of oil to test, together with the re
sult of their tests. Accordingly, under
date of May 24, you sent each one a cir
cular letter ordering them to do so. As
I found opportunity, I tested all of these
oils carefully, and found my suspicions
confirmed. There w’ere notable differ
ences between my results and those of
a number of the inspectors. These dif
ferences were sufficient to throw some
of the oils even below tho dangerously
low limits prescribed by the statute.
Your inspectors are not to be blamed
for these differences, but the law itself,
and the instrument usad, which is pre
scribed by the law. The instrument
used is known as Tagllabue’s open
