Violation of Ohemlcsl Ltwi.
Question. — In your last month’s
“Talk,” in answer to a question, you
urged upon grand juries and solicitors to
“prosecute parties selling chemicals, or
formulas for making fertilizers, con¬
trary to law. ” Please publish the law
that is violated in the selling of chemi-
cals or formulas for using chemicals in
making fertilizers.
Answer.—I am glad that you asked
the above question, as it gives me an
opportunity to again call the attention
of the farmers to the cheating and
swindling that they are subjected to by
the unprincipled men who rob them of
their hard earned money. A month
ago I denounced one J. D. Butler of
Dunn, N. C., who had traveled exten-
sively through the state, selling a form¬
ula for composts, the chemical ingredi¬
ents of which absolutely have no exist¬
ence. Under the law, which I will
presently quote, that man could have
been fined and imprisoned in any county
in Georgia where he sold his so-called
chemicals. I have recently received a
letter from the said J. D. Butler, sta¬
ting that I had misrepresented him, and
asking me to retract my published
statement concerning him. In the same
letter he sent me the following formula,
representing it to be the same that he
sold, or offered for sale, in Georgia:
(Nitrate Potash)....... 12 pounds
(Sulphate of Ammonia) 12 pounds
(Sulphate of Potash)... 12 pounds
(Calcium Oxide)....... 100 pounds
(Carb. Soda)........... 20 pounds
(Chloride Soda)......... 2 bushels
This is an unlawful formula. The
“calcium oxide” and the “carb. soda”
would drive off the ammonia, and the
term “chloride soda” is quite a loose
way of designating what is prooably
intended for common salt. “Chloride
of soda” of the drug stores is a disin¬
fecting solution. It was offered for sale
unlawfully, in that it was not approved
by the Commissioner of Agriculture.
Therefore I retract nothing of what I
published in last month’s “Talk. ” I wrote
him that “one of the purposes for which
I was elected Commissioner of Agricul¬
ture was to protect the farmers from
fraudulent fertilizers, and I intended to
do my duty, no matter who it might
hurt.” Now for the law. I quote yon
ihe first and second sections of an “aot
to regulate the sale of formulas, patent
or otherwise, for composting fertilizers
and for other purposes.
Section 1: “After the passage
of this act it shall not be law¬
ful for any person to sell or offer for
sale in this state any formula for com¬
posting fertilizers, unless the „ same has
been first submitted to the Commis¬
sioner of Agriculture, and by him ap¬
proved, t&e and a certificate of approval by
Commissioner of Agriculture, to be
presented by salesman, whenever offered
for sale.”
Section 2: “Any person violating the
preceding section of this act, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and on con¬
viction of the same shall be punished by
fine or imprisonment, or both. “Yon will
thus see that no fertilizers, or chemicals
to make fertilizers, can be lawfully sold
in this state without the approval of this
department. This law is solely in the
interest, and for the protection of farm¬
ers, and as they largely compose our
grand juries, I think they should be
particularly active in ferreting out all
who violate it.—State Agricultural De-
nartment.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY “ NEMO.”
(Copyrighted)
Let us dismiss the idea once and
for all that a school ought to be a
sort of brick-machine to force the
j children into definite 4 prearranged
shapes. Yet this is too often at-
tempted and too largely successful,
The result, destruction of individu-
ality.
In a crowd no two faces are alike,
though only the slightest differen¬
ces are discoverable, perhaps, when
individual organs are compared.
Yet to suit the shape and appear¬
ance of the face barbers and millin¬
ers go to elaborate pains and we
submit.
But when it comes to the train¬
ing of the mind and the preparation
for a successful life, though we
know the various members of the
family are diametrically opposed to
each other in tastes, ideas, temper,
disposition, and intelligence, yet
we quietly surrender them to the
educational machine, with possibly
a slouchy ill-trained youth or a self-
sufficient miss at the lever. The
grinding and forcing begins by
those who ignore completely the
physiology of the child, and with
no knowledge of any hereditary in¬
fluences, punish in like manner the
most different natures, Like the
off-shoots on an Espalier fruit tree,
every tendency towards individual¬
ity is carefully trimmed away by
the machine teacher, in slavery to
uniformity. Graduation day comes,
and your son or your daughter
stands up with others, all having
traversed so many pages of arith¬
metic, so many pages of Virgil;
and possibly stumbled over the
Pons Asinorum (The Bridge of
Asses) in geometry, Then the poor
things are flung out into the world
with a “finished” education. There
in the midst of a merciless crowd
with no time to give them individ¬
ual study, they have to ‘find’ them¬
selves and discover their own pos¬
sibilities in most painful fashion.
Lay your hands on almost any
biography and you will find that in
many instances the subject has been
kept away for years from the main
purposes of life by this “self-find-
ing process. He gropes this way
and that, and is as effectually bar¬
red from his real function in the
world, as the average youth in for¬
ced army service. At fifteen or
twenty it is altogether too late to
begin looking for indichtions of the
line your child is best fitted to fol¬
low. From its cradle onward you
have been in a position to note a
hundred signs that could have told
you its mental bias. But like love
that is showered on a corpse, your
interest is awakened only after the
individuality has been killed by vio¬
lence or starved by neglect.
You recognize that the magnifi¬
cent battle for universal education
has been made a victory by Horace
Mann, Dr. Barnard and a score of
lesser note in this country. But we
are not to stop. Like the traveller
in a hilly region, the higher we
climb the further we can see. Re¬
linquishing then notone particle of
belief of “education for all” we
press forward to “individual study
of each.” Were you in a position
to read all the educational publica¬
tions, and follow the various
speeches at the Teacher’s Institu¬
tes and the National Educatioal
Association, you would find this
“child-study” the burden of the ex-
bortations to the teacher.
But I write unto you, parents ;
because you are many, and because
you are essential to the new pur¬
pose of education.
* *
Between the parent, worthy of
parentage, and the teacher, mental
savior of the race, a most complete
and confidential feeling of common
interest ought to exist. It would
| be most daring, and probably as
incorrect as daring, to assert that
any parents are deliberately op¬
posed to the welfare of their chil-
dren. Your first interest is your
child. For it, as mother, you
would even forego food needful to
yourself; for it, as father, you
work that it may be fed and clothed.
This deep, underlying interest of
l the parent in the child, must now

be appealed to strenuously, as an aid
to the teacher. In your home it
has shown forth its peculiarities ;
when then you entrust it to teach¬
ers, also—the greater number of
them—sincerely anxious for the
welfare of their charges it is your
place to give to the teacher for the
good of your child the total of in¬
sight you have gained. In school,
thrown in with other children and
compelled to struggle in a little
world, further peculiarities will
show forth. These the teacher—
in confidential relations with you—
ought to divulge, so that together
you may discuss the best way to
train and control the little restless
being, with such fateful possibili¬
ties within it. In its course up-
ward through the various grades,
each teacher should give the next
one all the knowledge so far gained
of the child, and thus until gradu¬
ation.
* * *
Think over this outline awhile
and see how much of gain there is
involved in it. It will mean fewer
cruel attempts to fit square pegs in¬
to round holes ; fewer high-spirited
children tamed down at the sacri¬
fice of their individuality, fewer
sullen natures nagged at until a
smoldering fire of resentment burns
out all that is beautiful and pos¬
sible in a sturdy nature, fewer
shrinking little hearts terrified into
perpetual nervousness. It will
mean that more of our national
hopes will step upward from school
into definite lines of work or pro¬
fession for which they are fitted,
rather than downward, as now,
into a bewildered, floundering
struggle. Because you have been
subjected to all that was ill-advised
and imperfect in your upbringing,
or because you have “found” your¬
self and come successfully upward,
it is surely not within your heart
to say “Let others be treated as I
have been.” The world moves, my
beloved. Go back to your child¬
hood and starting from that point,
trace some of the advancement in
implements, in home comforts, in
buildings and other things that
have come under your own notice.
Good. These things that you can
see and handle, are only a part of
the advancement the world has been
making. It has gained also in
humanity, towards child life in
economy of effort by co-operation
of parent and teacher in perfection
of method. For further progress
Youare needful.
Captain Geo. A. Cooper, the
only surviving veteran of the Mexi¬
can war living in Habersham coun¬
ty, still shows his cheerful counte¬
nance on our streets. To look upon
the Captain’s active frame, one
would scarcely guess that away
back in iS^-S he had climbed the
Sierra Madre, fallowed the doughty
Taylor and the ponderous Scott
among those rugged fastnesses, or
helped to storm the rock of
Chapultepec, charged at Cher-
ubusco, defied yellow fever at Vera
Cruz, swapped lingo with Mestizos,
Spaniards, in the streets of Mexico’s
proud capitol, and slept under the
paltn and beside the gigantic cacti,
of that tropical clime, For his
step is vigorous, his brain strong,
and his morals fustrate. He is a
County Commissioner, vice-presi¬
dent of the development syndicate,
and is decidedly in the real estate
business. We hope the Captain
will be on hand for many years to
come.
