A LIGHT IN THfc WINDOW. The British Medical Institute, Located at :tft4Kccond St., Macon. (ia .WIII 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 Institute is in personal charge of the I Macon office. Office hours: 8 ft. m. to 8 p. m. Sun days, JO a. m. to I p m. Si’ioci a i.

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 known resident of Keller, Va.

Mother Lost Reason After LaGrippe. Daughter Had Fre quent Spasms. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Cured Them Both. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is a specific for nervous disorders. It removes the cause and effects a speedy and permanent cure. "I feel it is my duty to let you know that your medicines have cured my little girl of nine, of spasms. She commenced having them 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 ture.

BEEF PRODUGUON IN STATEf GEORGIA ExtraotFrom Excellent Ar ticle Advocating Same.

Fertilizer Materials Continued. 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. lent to 15.65 per cent of nitrogen, ot THE BARNEBVILLE Nl GAZETTE THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6,1902 -7 -y.E NET —— 19 per cent of arnmoni 4 . enor mous and annually increr^ mgaM mouflX is shipped every year. p™ m inouut expo; ted every year to fw 3 and America is about one millil ns, Method of 1 The material nag| a knnber of uses besides it3 use a-sly Bliaer. lltis in the manufacture (j Ite ol 1 potash, which is needed td -* gun powder and firework*! it useJ to make nitric acid, is an I 1 lal it the manufacture of sulpfea) 1, up on which tue whole superpl! iyi .te o: avcid phosphate : dustry dj 1,- aides a great many other tnonufactur i ing processes. lu great importaace 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 materials the commercial fertilizers cold in the State of Georgia are made. The next great class of fertilizer ma terial we discuss will be the “phos phates.” John M. McCandless. 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. if"' MOZLEY’S Lemon Elixir.
