Give Free Services for Three
Months to All InvHlids Who
Call Before Nov., 4th.
Fast living, yielding to the despotic
demand of modern society and close
application to hard mental and man
ual labor, are several causes which are
wrecking the constitutions of thous
ands of Americans every year.
Eighty per cent of those afflicted art;
enduring the pangs of mental misery
which unfit them for the duties of life.
These people are despondent, dejected,
discouraged, troubled with insomnia,
shun society, distrust old friends, ab
hor new ones ; with them the vigor of
youth is a thing of the past; many of
them have paid large amoun ts of money
in vain for a cure. The British Medi
cal Institute has a light in the window
for all such invalids. During the past
five years it has treated and cured 18,-
864 cases, and eighty-five per cent of
them were cases of this kind. 11 guaran
tees a complete cure in every ease it
undertakes; it is incorporated under
the laws of the state of Michigan, with
a paid up capital of SOO,OOO, there its
guarantee is good
It treats and cures male and female
weakness, catarrh and catarrhal deaf
ness : also varicocele, rupture, goitre,
cancer, morphine habit and all diseas
es of the rectum.
At its Macon branch, located at 354
Second St., has given free service to all
invalids who called during the past
twelve months, and it will continue
giving free services for three months
longer (medicines excepted) to all who
call before Nov. 4th.
The chief associate surgeon of the

STEPPED AGAINST A HOT STOVE.
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson, when
getting his usual Saturday night bath,
stepped back against a hot stove which
burned him severely. The child was
in great, agony and his mother could do
nothing to pacify him. Remembering
that she had a bottle of Chamberlin’s
Pain Kalin in the house, she thought
she would try it. In less than half an
hour after applying it the child was
quiet and asleep, and in less than two
weeks was well. Mrs. Benson is a well

"I feel it is my duty to let you know that
your medicines have cured my little girl of

at the ace of three. Our family doctor said
she would outgrow them but she did not.
We took her to another physician who said
her trouble was epileptic fits in a mild form.
He did her no good either. She was so
nervous she could hardly walk. As 1 had
already used Dr. Miles’ Nervine and found
it a good remedy for myself 1 commenced
giving it to mv child. 1 gave her in all ten
bottles of the Nervine and one of the Blood
Purifier. That was over two years ago and
she has not had an attack since we com
menced the treatment. She it no longer
troubled with nervousness and we consider
her permanently cured. I enclose her pic

Cotton seed meal, blood, tankage,
etc., which I have destribed to you
In the last letter, are known as "or
ganic” source* of ammonia, or rather
of nitrogen. Habit is so strong, you
*©e. it is hard to get rid of the use
of that word ammonia. Nitrogen is
much the better term for our use. Be
sides the organic sources of nitrogen
we also have what are known as the
“inorganic sources. I have explained
in a previous letter fffily th® meaning
of these two terms, but lest you may
have forgotten, I will stop a moment
to say that an organic substance may
be either vegetable or animal, thus a
leaf, a seed, piece of meat or of skia
are organic substances. An inorganic
sulwtance is tho opposite of these,
and is mineral in its nature, a piece
of rook or of iron is inorganic. The
©hlef inorganic source of nitrogen,
then, is nitrate of soda, also commonly
called "Chili Saltpetre;” saltpetre be
cause it has many of the properties of
real saltpetre, which is nitrate of pot
ash and Clilll because it is imported
from Chili in South America.
Nitrate of potash or true saltpetre
i* a very valuable fertilizing compound,
yielding both nitrogen and potash to |
the plant, but it is much too expensive |
bo buy in this form; it is, therefore, I
better, or, rather, cheaper to buy ni
trate of soda and muriate of potash
separately, and then mix them to
gether, when we will accomplish prac
tically the same results from a fertil
izing standpoint, and for a smaller out
lay of money, than if we bought the
same elements in form of nitrate of
potash. Nitrate of soda Is such an
Important salt for fertilizer purposes
that I will go into some littled eta!!
about it.
The entire supply at present comes
from the western coast of Chill. It ex
tends in a narrow strip of land run
ning north and south for about 260
miles, at an average distance of about
14 miles from the ocean. The country
where it is found is a desert, It never
rains there and the whole region is
bare of vegetation and destitute of
water. The nitrate rock Is call "ca
liche" (pronounced Oa-lee-ehay) and
the best quality has the following com
position:
Sodium nitrate, 50 per cent, sodium
chloride 26 per cent,, sodium sulphate
6 per cent, magnesium sulphate 3 per
cent. Insoluble matter 14 per cent, so
dium lodate. sodium nitrite, magnesi
um chloride, magnesium nitrate, potas
sium chloride 1 per cent making tha
whole.
The averag© quality of “caliche" con
tains from 30 to 40 per cent of sodium
nitrate, and the poorest quality worked
ranges front 17 to 30 per cent sodium
nitrate. The “caliche” occurs from IS
to 10 feet below the surface of the
ground, and the vein or stratum va
ries from a root aud a half to twelve
feet in thiokuess.
The process of extracting and sepa
rating the valuable nitrate of soda
from the rest ow the “caliche" is done
by means of water In which the ni
trate of soda diaolves, and from which
It is crystallized. A description of
th© process would be tedious. Suf
fice it to say that a costly plant is re
quired for the purpose, and that th\
work is so well done that the product
when finished contains about 95 pet
i cent nitrate of soda, which is equiva.

as a fertilizer depends upon its high
percentage of nitrogen and its com
plete solubility in water, thus being
immediately available as plant food,
the nitroge-nt in it being already in
the form of a nitrate, the form in
which plants prefer to take most of
I their nitrogen. The nitrate of soda
being readily and freely soluble in
water, is ready for appropriation as
plant food as soon as it is
put into the soil. Hence :i
is evident that the best way to U3S
it is by application as a top dressing
immediately before or after a rain,
usually in the spring, when the plant
is up and needs a good send-off to de
velop growth of stalk and foliage.
Used in this way, the results are very
sure and very striking.
Sulphate of Ammonia.
One other important inorganic
source of nitrogen is the salt known
as sulphate of ammonia. It is pro
duced chiefly as a by-product in the
manufacture of illuminating gas from
coal; the gas coal3 all contain a small
percentage of nitrogen; when subject
ed to dry distillation in retorts, the ni
trogen is driven off in the form of am
monia gas, and is finally absorbed in
sulphuric acid, from which it is crys
tallized as sulphate of ammonia. This
product usually contains about 20t£
per cent of nitrogen, when purified,
but if sold unpurified as brown sul
phate of ammonia, it may not contain
more than 18 per cent of nitrogen. Sul
phate of ammonia is freely soluble in
water, and has this advantage over
nitrate of soda, that it does not leach
out of the soil so readily as nitrate of
soda does, and may therefore be ap
plied with other fertilizers in the fail
to fall crops without fear of serious
loss through leaching during the fab
and winter. I have not mentioned all
of the various kinds of nitrogenous
fertilizer materials, but have sketched
nearly all of the commercial fertilizers

terial we discuss will be the “phos

SAN JOSE SCALE.
By W. M. Scott, State Entomologist.
The results of our recent experi
ments do not materially change the
former recommendations of this of
fice for the treatment of the San Jose
scale, but they broaden the field of
effective remedies, giving the orchard
-Ist the option of choosing one of sev
eral. The petroleum oils (kerosene
and crude petroleum), which have fur
nished the almost exclusive remedy
for the scale in this State, came
through the experiments with more
points in their favor than any other
substance tested, although the lime,
salt and sulphur wash gave almost
equally as good results. In dealing
with insecticides it is not usually safe :
to base recommendations upon one
year’s experience, and for this reason
alone we are not willing to give the
lime, salt and sulphur wash the en
dorsement that the results obtained i
from its use In the tests would war- j
rant. However, it deserves to be ro- !
corded as very promising and given a
place in the recommendations, allowing i
the orchard owners to choose, between
it and the oils. Results of further
tests, which are planned for next win
ter, may place this wash upon an equal
with oils, or even show its superiority
to them.
It will bo remembered that in all
former recommendations issued from
this office (Bulletin 1, and Circulars
4 and 5) two applications during the
course of the winter have been in
sisted upon. One application appears
to be sufficient for trees that have
reached full growth, but the results
of our experiments show most conclu
sively the necessity for two in the
treatment of young orchards. The
•rale insects on young trees are more
virulent, multiply much more rapidly
and are afforded a better food supply
than those on older trees, hence the
number of surviving scales that would
do no particular damage to old trees
night seriously damage those not yet
full grown. Moreover, it is quite
impossible to reach every portion of
a tree with one application, particu
larly if much wind is stirring, and it
Is usually advisable to make two, even
iu case of old trees.
Concluding not only from the recent
experiments but in part from practi
cal results obtained by the grower*,
the recommendations for next win
ter’s work stand as follows:
1. Oil Emulsion —In Nov?mber or
early December apply a 15 per cent
strength of either crude oil or kero
sene in emulsion with soap, and in
February or early March (before the
bloom buds open, repeat the appii
cation at a strength of 20 per cent.
When obtained in car lots (as was
done last winter) the crude oil is
some cheaper and in general practice
is has given sllghly more satisfactory
results in its effect upon both the scale
and the tree#, honee It should he giv
en the prefernce. Not having yet
completed the experiments with low
grade crude otle we can recommend
only the Peyynsylvanla product, regis
tering not less than 43 aegrees gravity
on the Beaume oil stale.
In spraying a tree the work should
■ be done thoroughly, but quickly, mols
tening every portion of the ree above
| the ground without allowing the sub
stance to run down the trunk. Begin
on the side of the tree opposite the
pump and walk completely around,
spraying from the top downward, ana
taking care to reach the twigs and
the inside of the limbs. If even small
spots or twigs are left the best re
suits cannot be expected. On the
other hand, the use of an excess ot
oil will endanger the tree and should
be carefully avoiued.
2. Oil in Mechanical Mixture —The
mechanical mixtuie of either crude oil
or kerosene, applied by the use of the
oil-water pumps, may be substituted
for the emulsion recommended above.
So long as the pumps discharge a uni
form percentage of oil, results equal
ly as good as those obtained from
emulsion may be expected. In addi
tion to the precautions to be observ
ed in the use of emulsion the mechan
ical mixing pumps require constant
watching to keep them properly ad
justed and the percentage of oil dis
charged should be frequently tested.
To make these tests catch the mixture,
as it is discharged from tire nozzle, in
a bottle with a straight side, allow it
to stand until the oil rises to the top
and then with a rule measure the vol
ume of oil as compared with the vol
ume of water beneath it. This will
show tne proportion of oil to water dis
charged. If the desired percentage is
not obtained, the pump should be look
ed into and readjusted.
3. Lime, Salt and Sulphur Wash—The
lime, salt and sulphur wash should be
applied in Februaty or March, before
the tiees bloom. This remedy gave
such results in the tests that we ven
ising results in the tests that we ven
ture to include it in the recommenda
tions, feeling confident of its success
when properly prepared and thorough
ly applied. The instructions lor its
preparation should be carefully observ
ed, with particular reference to the
boiling, and its application should be
thorough.
No fall or mid-winter applications of
this wash having been made, at pres
ent we advise only its use in the spring.
4. Whale-Oil Soap —In tfle treatment
of family orchards it may be found
more convenient to use whale-oil soap
than the other more complicated rem
edies. Use a potash soap and dis
solve it (by boiling) in. water at the
rate of 2 pounds to each gallon. Make
the application in early spring, just
before vegetation begins, using a spray
or cloth mop, preferably the former.
Should only a very small number if
trees be involved, they might be suc
cessfully treated by rubbing on the so
lution with a cloth, provided great care
be taken to coat the small twigs as
well as the truna and limbs.
More thorough execution to the scale
would be expected from two applica
tions, one at a strength of one and a
half pounds to the gallon of water and
the other as recommended above. A
single application will not ordinarily
give entire satisfaction.
..Crude caustic potash being cheaper,
although not so effective, may in some
cases be advantageously substituted
for whale-oil soap; and indeed, in com
mercial orchards where the scale is in
a weakened condition from the age of
the trees, this substance may be used
with success. For effective work a
strength of at least ten pounds to fifty
gallons of water will ordinarily be re
quired.
How to Prepare Emuision.
Preparation—An emulsion of either
crude petroleum or kerosene may be
made from the following formula:
Two pounds of potash whale oil
soap, four gallons of water, eight gal
lons of oil.
Weigh the soap carefully and place
with the water in a vessel over the
fire, using a slight extens of water to
make up for evaporation. Fit a pump
with a short piece of hose, to which
is attached a nozzle for throwing a
straight stream three-sixteenths or
one quarter of an inch in diameter.
Pour the oil into the barrel or tub in
which the pump is set, and when the
whale-oil soap is dissolved and the so
lution begins to boil, add It to the oil
and pump the whole vigorously back
into itself for a period of at lest ten
minutes. The stream from the noz
zle should be directed straight down
ward into the mixture so as to stir it
to the very bottom. After a few min
utes the oil and soap solution will be
seen to combine, forming a thick,
creamy emulsion, which, when per
fectly made, will remain without
change for weeks.
Materials: Pump Required —Either
crude oil or kerosene will give good
results in making emulsion. The soap
should preferably be some soft whale
oil soap, such as Good’s No. 3. If a
hard soap is used the emulsion will be
curdy, and only with difficulty mix
with water. Country lye soap answers
admirably, but must be used in some
what larger quantity than called for
in the formula given above.
The ordinary Bordeaux spray pump
answers very well for mixing the emul
sion. but almost any pump will do that
can be fitted with the requisite section
,of hose and nozzle. A “Bordeaux” or
“Seneca” nozzle gives a very satisfac
tory sized stream for this work, thougn
rather small.
The water used must be soft, for if
hard, no stable emulsion can be pre
pared, and it sometimes happens thAt
foreign substances chancing to be pres
ent. will prevent the emulsification. If
a lot of soap solution and oil, for any
reason, fails to emulsify properly, the
best thing to do is to throw the whols
away, carefully clean up th© pump,
wash out all the vessels used and be
gin over.
