gurated a thorough system of bookkeep

could be readily obtutuod. For waul of
tuilleieut means with which to do the
work of the department, we have heeit
handicapped to some extent. However,
the records are hi such shape that any

lully end perfectly understood, and
every item that comes into the depart

to know what this departmeut ot the

ON THE QUESTION OK t-K.UTH.l7.KKH.
Having hud some Hi) vests’experience
In tiie use of fertilizers, aud huvmg
some knowledge of the tiigredteuts
which go to make up these mixtures, 1
have doue my best to see t hat cousuniei s

such us would produce good results, aud
was suited to the purpo.e for which it
wus luteuiied—-that of supplying the
elements of a wholesome crop food
These persnuul Inspections have been
thorough, and 1 hope have brought
ubnut good results Kuriy lit lust Fen-
luary 1 published mine press of the
elate the following arliele:
"Upon the question o! fertilizers there
has heretofore been great complatut
among the people of the state espe
cially from the consumers— that the
Inspections and analyses of fertilizers
were uot complete, and that the plant
ers were uot properly protected by this
department. Now, whether there has
been any reason for this general talk 1
no uot know; hut lit order that there
may be uo ground for such complaints
in the future, 1 have fully made up my
Ditud, as tar as U is possible for ibis do-
puruaeut to do, I will lns|iect nli of the

gettiug up samples from u.l pans of the
state wtieru goods cau ha found, aud I
have urged the inspectors to be diltgeut
lu uiastug their inspections, iu order to
get proper uud correct samples, that both
the consumer uud uiuuulucturer may
he pinpei ly protected.
"One other thing 1 invite ull of thu
consumers of thu state, and retail agents
who are seil ng to consumers, that when
tlu-y desire an inspection made of ter.

such a request of this department, 1
will have uu inspector to go at once,
take "ample" and send them to this de
partmeut, when uu uualysls will be
made
"111 making such inspections it is proper
to Htate that iu uo case will they be
made from broken bugs or packages.
When a sample is taken from a package
it must be iu its original condition.
’Ibis is the law under which we are
working.
"As a matter of fa't, the ctmsuiiiersof
fertilizers pay ull of the tax ou fertiliz
ers sold in this state, therefore they are
entitled to full anil uiiiple protection;
and, so far as this department is con
cerned, it will be my pleasure to seo
that all safeguards ate thrown around
that the law allows. No manufactu
rer will object to this. Honest manu
facturers aud dealers ure willing to have
a true and correct inspection uud analy

The above bus been strictly complied
with. Hundreds of special samples
have tceu sent tu this department, and
in every instance the analysts has been
promptly made aud the result maned to
the party at iuterest. 1 trust that the
methods adopted by uie have brought

lion. O. B. Elevens, Commissioner ol
Agriculture:
Dkak Sir—During the pest winter and
spring you sent several of your newiy
appointed oil inspectors to me to be in
plo of oil to teat, tntt^rr with the re
suit of their tieta. \coordlnglv. under
date of May 34, yon kei|t eaoh one a cir
cular letter ordering them to do to. As
I found opportunity, Itflledeil of these
oils oarefully, and foiiid my "Usgictoui
confirmed. There wrte notable differ
encoa between my reilalta and those of
a number of the iuapali->ra. These dll-
ferenoea were sufficient to throw Rome
of the oils even below fae--dangerously
low Ituula prescribed hx the statute
Your tnspectork are tci ho blamed
fur these differences, mi ,3 ha law itself,
end the instrument o.i r which is prb
aoribed by the law. 1'x.y- tuitrumuul
| used !■ kuowu at Tugilelme's open
tester; tt consists of a UuUlf glass vessel,
Which is tiunieisad tu e‘popper vessel
oouieiuiug water. The witter is heated
by a small alcohol lump, Jr hie h truus
mile tte beet through tbi fVeter to the
otL Now, the law prescribes just huw
the test is to be made as follow*: "Heat
with itlcohol, small flame;’ when the
thermometer indicates UU degrees Fah
reubuit remove lamp, at l»i degrees try
for flesh with smell heed of Hre uu end
of strlug, held within a quarter o' an
iuch of the surface of the oil. Kupiece
lamp aud work oil up gradnally from
this point, an til the burning point ii
reached, removing lamp every four de
grees and allowiug oil to rt|n up three
degrees before replaclug luuu>, flushing
oil each time just liefore lamp is re
placed, until result Is obtetuid."
Kvidently the author of the above be
lleved that "language wus ijeetgued to
conceal thought'" Let us suppose the
inspector making hit test Hint following
thu strict letter of the law. 1 sot us sup
pose that be has brought the g>il up tu
a temperature of lit) degrees and bus
tried for flush without rest|t, he re
places Ins lamp, following the l\rict let
ter of the lew aud watts till Ihe tern
peruture reaches 130 - degrees^arhen be
removes the lamp aud theu waits till
fhe temperature reaches 13,1 degrees be
fore lie tries for flash again. We have
here an interval of 7 degrees, ui any one
of which the oil may have Dished or
burned without thu luepcOgr, who
tracked the law closely, being aware ut
it. Rvldenlly this is uousmiso, aud can*
not be the meaning of the law, beettuhe
the law ulao says "no kerosen^or fluid
of any tort, the Are lost of which in lesa
than 130 degrees Fahrenheit, sliull bo
■old within this state," and yet, accord
ing to the formula presertbiug the exact
way iu which to make the test, it would
! be impossible to detect uu oil, the tire
test of which lay lie tween 116 degrees
aud 130 degress Fahrenheit, thu legal
limit. Again, whut duet the "Are lest"
menu? Does it mean the "flush" poiut
or the "burning” point of the oil? It
cannot lie settled except as against the
consumer, from the luuguuge of this
luw; evidently the flash point is the
poiut of danger, or the point at which
iuflamuiahle, explosive vapor is given
off; anil yet the law suys "work the oil
up gradually uuttl the burning point is
reached, flashing the oil eaoh time, un
til the result i* obtained.” ’Whut re
sult? Manifestly the battling point.
Now if tins law wus not dntwu by the
attorneys and chemists of the oil com.
puntes, it might just as well have beeu.
Nothing whatever is said in the luw
about the necessity for avoiding drafts
of utr, which CDiight blow away the
vapor from the surface of the testing
cup before the operator could apply hi*
flume, uo caution to the operator to
avoid breathing upon the surface, either
of which accidents would cause the oil
to ap|war lietter than it really was. I
mention these as some of the reasons
why no blame should attach to your in
spectors, if their results varied a few
tlegrees from mine, or for that matter
even if they passed almost "any old
oil" that might he put upon the market.
The investigations of tBe British gov
eminent, ot Drs. Chandler and Elliott,
chemists for he New York stute board
of health, bave demonstrated conclu
sively that the open iorm of tester is a
wholly unreliable instrument, aud (bnt
u dos'd tes-er, Imitating as nearly us
possible the coudiiiuns which obtain in
mi ordinal ' lamp, is the form which
ihould bean ipted. Elliott, lifter trying
all ibe various forms of open aud closed
testers in use, Dually settled upon i
form of closed tester wmch gave him
the most uniform results, uud whirl,
was adopted by the srate board of
health of New York. The New York
law recognizes the tact that the dash
point is the danger point, the poiut ut
which explosive, inflammable vapors
are given off. It says untiring about
"Fire test or burning poiut," butadop s
100 degrees F., lu a tester like a lamp,
as the limit below which an oil shall
uot flash. 1 have made tests of some 30
different oils from different parts of the
state by our own tester and also by the
New York state instrument, aud my
results fully confirm theirs. Only two
oils out of the 30 examined would lie al
lowed tu go to sale iu the state of New
York. Many of those which would bo
rejected iu New York as unsafe andun
In the New York Instrument, at the or
dinary temperature without the applica
tion of any heat, would emit explosive
vapor. There is a olause iu our law
which says: "The lire lest shall be de
termined by an inspector, who shall
use Tngltuhuo’s or ijVu- writ drjUtfd In-
ilt‘n lm ul pr.'<v.f*"f hi i Ihr I 'iiiiiiniinioiier
vi Agi ii'iiUuif " Now, sir, 1 recom
mend (hat you tuke advantage of this
clause uud inniieniately order the adop-
tiou of the Now York state instrument
by your inspectors. While it is true
ihe law says nothing about your chang
ing the fire teat of 130 degrees F., it
does authorize you to change the instru
ment, aud inuat, hv implication, givo
yon the power to clnuge thu tempera
