CHIEF ENGINEER GAINS 40 POUNDS Almost Lost Hope of Getting Well —Takes Tanlac and Now Feels Better Than in Twenty-five Years. “Tanlac, to my mind, is the greatest and grandest medicine in the world,” said 0. H. Ma haffey, Chief Engineer of the Life & Casualty Building, Nashville, a few days ago. “I have taken eight bottles, ” he continued, “and have actually gained forty pounds in weight, and feel stronger and better than I have in twenty-five years. “For two years 1 have suffered with the worst kind of stomach trouble and indigestion, and fell off in weight from 210 pounds to 162. I am now back at 202, which is almost as much as I weighed before 1 was taken sick. About six weeks ago I got awful bad off, and called on the doctor, and he told me I had an ulcer of the stomach, and if 1 was not careful it might turn into cancer. He gave me some medicine. I didn’t seem to get any better, and was afraid to eat anything except a little oatmeal and sweet milk, but in spite of everything I could do, I just kept going down hill, and got weaker and weaker everyday. I got so disheartened one day I told my employer it looked like I would have to throw up my job. I was trying to hold on though as long as I could, for I had a family to support, and I made up my mind that just as long as I could drag myself around I would stick it out. “One day my wife told me what she had read in the papers, and w'hat the neighbors were saying about Tanlac, and begged me to try it. She had rtad about a man who had taken it who de scribed my case exactly, and he was getting lots better, but I had tried all kinds of medicines, so I didn’t have much hope of it, doing me much good. Besides, my doctor had already told me I would have to be operated on in order to get relief. Something just told me though, it might help me, and I decided to try it. “After I had taken it a day or two I got so hungry I just simply had to eat, and I did eat, and you can believe me or not, seemed to hurt me a particle. ! My wife said to me ‘Tanlac must i be helping you.’ and I said, Tj guess it is from the way I am eating.’ “It wasn’t long before those awful pains in my stomach and the small of my back began to leave me. Then I noticed I be gan to sleep better, and I would get up in the mornings full of life and ready to work. The medicine seemed to take hold quicker than anything I ever saw, and braced me right up. lam telling all my friends about Tan lac, and hope every body will hear about it.” Tanlac is sold in Mt Vernon exclusively by Mt.

Three handsome silver loving cups and a string of several hun dred blue ribbons Thursday were exhibited to the jury in Judge Bell’s division of the Superior Court in the effort being made by J. D. B. Deßow, Nashville stock- < man. to fix a $20,000 value on “Premier Longfellow’s Rival,” . the world champion hog killed in a railroad accident in Mississippi in 1909. Deßow is asking this sum in damages from the Vicks burg, Shreveport & Pacific Rail road. The loving cups and ribbons represented prizes taken by the big hog in fairs in various parts of the U dted States. - Atlanta Georgian. | The Cotton Acreage And Guano Output. Now that the cotton planting season is practically oyer, we can at least form some conclusion as to the acreage. While no one knows exactly the acreage, yet it is clear to those who have trav eled extensively over the south east during the past few weeks that the acreage is somewhat lar ger than last year. It is true that in some sections it is slight ly smaller, but in others it is lar ger. We have traveled a good bit in the cotton belt during the past few weeks, and have talked with many others who have trav eled, and it is our belief, based on these observations, that the acreage is about 10 per cent great er than it was last year. It also seems that the amount of fertili zer used under cotton is probably 10 or 15 per cent less than the amount used last year. Therefore, as a general proposition it would seem that this year’s cotton crop will in all probability be in size somewhere in the neighborhood of last year’s crop. Os course a bad season may cause it to be less, and a good season may cause it to be more.—Southern Farm ing. Pulled Stumps at Small Cost. I have stumped some 300 acres of land during the last two years, and I regard my land as worth at least 33 1-3 per cent more after having been stumped. This might seem quite an increase in value, but when one takes into consid eration the appearance of the farm, and the fact that the land can be cultivated with improved machinery, which of course can be operated without difficulty on stumped land, it is easy to decide that the increase mentioned is perfectly reasonable. I stumped about the first 100 acres by hand, which cost me about 12A cents per stump. I found that it was quite difficult to get the stumps out deep enough, and besides, found it difficult to get out all of the roots, which of course should not he allowed to remain in the land. I immediately purchased the la test improved stump puller, which I have been using now about a year. I figure that after securing the puller and after my hands j became acquainted with how to handle the machinery, my stumps have not cost me more than 74 cents each. I now have about 300 acres of land which has been pretty well stumped, and I ex pect to continue stumping through the winters until I have my farm all cleared of them.—J. E.

Atlanta, Ga., May 6. —Remem ber the old negro “mammy” who operated the old-fashioned spin-! ning wheel at the Southern Tex tile Exposition in Greenville, S. C., last fall? Os course you do, if you were one of the thirty thousand who v/ent through the halls of that industry- Well, Mattie Lolis—for that is her name—has passed through Atlanta on her way to the Boston textile show, which is being held this week, as one of the star at tractions of that event. “Aunt”; Mattie received free transporta tion from- Chester I. Campbell, secretary of the Boston Exhibit ors’ Association. The old spin ning wheel was crated and ship ped bv express. This old relic, now used for exhibition purposes, was used during the civil war, and “Aunt” Mattie proved her self an adept in the art of making homespun cotton goods. She is a great curiosity and has attracted more attention at textile shows than any single exhibit. McCormick Harvesting ma chinery is sold by C. A. Mason, Mt. Vernon.

What will constitute an acceptable fertiliser formula for the present year? is a question Leins asked by thousands of farmers. Os course, every one realizes that abnormal conditions prevail in the fertilizer industry, and this being the case, it is first necessary to consider what can be secured, and then proceed to compound and use these materials in a manner which is likely io prove the most beneficial to the crops ordinarily grown. In this connection it is certain that while prices may be higher than in previous years, there are very considerable quantities of cotton seed meal and acid phosphate available. No potash can be had. Crushed lime rock may be secured in large quantities, but its use should he primarily restricted to liberal applications made to the land preferably before the planting of le guminous crops. Floats are also on (he market, but according to tests we have made up to the present time, and in view of the small amount of or ganic matter in Georgia soils, it does not appear that this material can be depended on as a satisfactory source of available phosphoric acid ilia present season. Nitrate of soda is scarce and high-priced. Sulphate of ammonia is limited in supply and also high In price. Blood and bone and Itsh scrap will probably be available in normal amounts. The Most Acceptable Carrier. It appears from a hasty review of the list that acid phosphate is likely to j prove the most acceptable carrier of phosphoric acid available to the farmer, ! and that he must decide on what he will use to supply nitrogen to combine j with acid phosphate in the hope of securing the best fertilizer available for use under existing conditions. Naturally, if he has exchanged his seed for meal or if he -till has seed to sell, he will desire to use cotton seed meal, ! and, of course, a combination of itiOO pounds of standard meal and 1000 pounds of It; per cent acid phosphate will give him a very good formula, containing 2L6.S pounds of available plant food per ton. This is about the only combination lie can hope to make which will supply his soil with any ; potash. This formula will run 9.2 per cent of phosphoric acid, TOO per cent of nitrogen and about 1 per cent of potash. A formula of this character ] is well supplied with nitrogen for most farm crops and contains a very good ; amount of phosphoric acid, and of course, the potash is a distinct advantage , for use particularly under truck crops or on sandy lands. | 600 Pounds of Cotton Seed Meal. | It is not necessary that this exact combination he used, however, as the ] amount of meal may be reduced to COO pounds and the acid phosphate left j at 1000 pounds. If 4-00 pounds of fish scrap be added to this mixture, a i formula containing a little better than It per cent of nitrogen and 10 per cent ] of phosphoric acid will have been obtained, though the potash will have j been somewhat reduced. Along the coast such a formula might prove quite i desirable; in other sections, tankage might he used in the place of Osh j scrap. By this arrangement tlie nitrogen could he maintained on a three i per cent basis and the phosphoric acid raised to 11 per cent, lit these ] calculations it Is considered that the fish scrap contains 8 per cent of nitro- ; gen and 8 per cent of phosphoric acid, and the tankage 8 per cent of i nitrogen and 11 per cent of phosphoric acid. As materials of this character | vary considerably in composition these facts must be kept in mind in making ; calculations as to the amount of available plant food a given formula may < contain. If one were desirous of securing a formula running very high in nitrogen ; derived from different sources, then 1000 pounds of acid phosphate with 000 , pounds of cotton seed meal, 200 pounds of dried blood and 200 pounds of J nitrate of soda might be used. In case it Is desirable to use sulphate of j ammonia, the same amount of cotton seed meal could he used with 200 ( pounds of the sulphate, and the acid phosphate Increased to 1200 pounds. Farmers who arc operating on a soil which Is In fairly good condition and do not think it nei o sary to use f- -tnulas carrying over 2.5 per cent of ■ nitrogen, but a fairly good per cent of phosphoric acid, may find it advantage <us to mix voo pounds of cotton seed meal with I2on pounds of acid phos phate. Bv this arrangena-nl they will secure a formula containing virtually i 2.5 per cent of available nitrogen, 9.G per cent of available phosphoric acid { and .8 per cent of potash. I Potash in Cbtton Seed IVeal. In addition to using the largest ration of cotton seed ntcal possible ns a I source* of potash In a mixed fertilizer to Increase the potash supply, about ell J the farmer cart do would he to save and return to the soli in the form of j compost as much roughage In the form of straw, yard manure and litter as j possible. If this Is In a veil-rotted condition so much the better, as under i these circumstances the plant food it contains will become more quickly j available and the materia! can also he incorporated with the soil to better j advantage. Os course, whenever wood is burned the farmer should save the > ashes as these contain some potash and heip to Increase the supply of this j now very s< arce. and yet often desirable clement, particularly for truck crops I and for use on sandy soils. Where wood ashes are available, however, they J should not l.e mix <1 with fcriiliznr under any circumstances but should he j applied separately. They could be scattered In the row with the compost | and mixed with the subsoil and then a light furrow of earth should he turned I in and the seed bed for corn made thereon, one of the fertilizer formulas J suggested above being drilled In at the lime the corn Is planted. The cotton j shoo id, of course, be planted on u bed. • The above mentioned formulas can he used in varying amounts, according I to the coil type with which the farmer is working. Three hundred pounds j is probably a minimum amount to apply where the land lias been handled J with any degree of I<■ 1 1 and success. In many Instances, five hundred | pounds can he applied lo advantage. All of the material may he put under a the drill row or part used as a side application, somewhat depending on S whether all tin* nitrogen is derived front organic sources or partly from car- | Hers containing this ebmiciu in a quickly available form. —~-~■ “ • ~ I 1 Farm Loans 1j a Wanted 1 j HA IMWmMWMtMUtMVUHWWMtMtMtWIWMtMWWMW ! § IF YOU WANT TO SECURE f I I A FIVE YEAR LOAN ON 1 I IMPROVED REAL ESTATE 1 j I AT SATISFACTORY RATES § j I AND TERMS, SEE ME AT lj | ONCE. 11 P No Delay.
