Drank whisky hot each night.
Drank cocktails in the morning.
But never could get tight.
He shivered in the evening.

His joints were full of rheumatiz.
Ills appetite was slack—
He had pains between his shoulders,
Chills ran down his back.
He suffered with insomnia,
At night he couldn't snooze.
He said it was the climate—
But lie never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down,
At least that’s what he said;
Ilis legs were swelled each morning,
And lie often had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whisky,
And if they didn’t fuse,
He blamed it to dyspspsia—
But he never blamed the booze.
lie said lie couldn’t sleep at nights
And always had bad dreams;
He claimed be always laid awake
’Till early sunrise beams;
He thought it was malaria,
Alas, ’twas but a ruse,
He blamed it on everything,
But lie never blamed the booze.
His liver seeder scraping,
And liis kidneys had the gout;
lie swallowed lots of bitters,
'Till at last lie cleaned them out.
His legs were swelled with dt'opey,
’Till he had to cut his shoes;
He blamed it to the doctors,
But lie never blamed the booze.

M’CANDLESS’ LETTER
Description of Nitrogenous
Fertilizer Materials.
SUBSTANCES USED IN THEM,
Value In Dollars and Cents and Their
Agricultural . .Importance—Packing
House Products—Dried Blood Rich¬
est In Nitrogen.
As you and others have writen me to
know what is the value of the differ¬
ent materials used in the manufacture
of commercial fertilizers. I will give
you at this point a fairly complete ac
count of tile substances principally
used. First we will consider ! n the
order of their value in dollars ami
cents, and their agricultural import¬
ance, the nitrogenous materials, or
those which yield nitrogen to the plant.
Such substances are also known as am
moniateg, because under certain eon
ditiog the nitrogen which they contain
can be converted into ammonia. Now
nitrogen and ammonia are not the
same thing by any means, but still
they are closely related, they are both
gases. Nitrogen, as l have described
to you before in another place, is a
colo; less, orduriegs, tasteless- gas, ana
constitutes four-fifths of the air or at¬
mosphere which envelops the earth.
Ammonia is also a gas and is colorless,
but it has a pungent odor, the same
which you have noticed ip spirit uf
hartshorn or spirits of ammonia
bought from the drug store. It also
has a caustic burning taste, and is
easily dissolved in water, which nitro¬
gen Is not.
Ani m 9flift j|| R'Hdw Uy causing nitro¬
gen to combine with hydrogen. Four¬
teen pounds if nitrogen combine with
three pounds of hydrogen to make
seventeen pounds of ammonia, so tha{
ammqqla g.jwayg cpptaiu# a largo
amount of nitrogen, but nitrogen never
contains any ammonia. And right
here It is well for you to understand,
that we have all fallen into a very
linwise an<{ cirqi)fj)|i S Iqibjt Uf apeak
iHg about a fertilizer as containing
such a per cent, of ammonia. As a
matter of fact it Is rarely, if ever, the
case that a fertilizer contains any am¬
monia, as such 51 gil, hilt it does coil
lain nitrogen combined in various
forms.
As you know it Is customary, in the
careless way of talking ob^ifliflff
ampjig qs all, tp speak (Tf
meal as cuntalMiu* eight per cent, of
ammonia, That is wrong, it does r.ot
contain any ammonia, but it does con
tain six and six-tenths per cent, of
nitrogen in the form rjf jjhuu,molds or
piptylp, In my letters wf which feeding; I wrote you and so this much six
on
and six-tenths per cent. o,f nltrogwq
can under certain chemical eojiditttms
l!” SeBYertort Into’ eight per cent, or am
tueiuft. I hope then I have made this
plain, and when you buy a fertilizer in
the future don’t imagine, because, you
smell certain peculiar odors ‘t,
that you smell ^mmpijijt; that is rarely,
if eVffi', too case; the odors you srneli
are usually due to animal matters,
fish-scrap etc., and indicate no greater
value in the fertilizer than qne which
has no odor at qij
Jq tl*o same way a dark or black
tsQb'V i» no indication of value in the
fertilizer. In point of fact the highest
grade fertilizer which could possibly
be compounded by the .art of mag
would be white ’

materials use<| fpr etiipppunding such
d fpipjir.er would be nlrate of am
mcnift and phosphate of potash, and
t-iese salts when chemically pure are
snow white salts. To return now tc

An average meal of good quality
will contain six and six-tenths per

It also contains an average of 2.7
per cent, of phosphoric ac-id and 1.8
per cent, of potash. It is a very valua¬
ble fertilizer, and constitutes the nitro¬
gen base of the greater portion qf coup
merclal fertilizers manufactured in the
Sopth.
“PACKING-HOUSE PRODUCT 0..’’
As little is generally known of those
and the manner of their production,
I will give you a brief account of their
manufacture.
The great packing-houses are locat¬
ed chiefly in Chicago, Kansas dty and
Omaha, whera immense numbers of
rattle are slaughtered, and the var¬
ious parts of the body are put to some
special use. Apart form the production
of dressed beef, mutton or pork, thero
is of course a large quantity of waste
to he utilised, but the material most
Interacting to us Is that which is used
for fertilizer, this consists of blood,
of bones, and a mixture of scraps,of
meat, skin, bones and blood.
DRIED BLOOR,
The material known as “dried blood”
is the most vaiuablle fertilizing pro¬
duct, and the richest in nitrogen. In
preparing this material, the liquid
bjppd ig collected -n vats, whore it is
cooked! this process causes the
separation of the protein of the blood
from much of the water; it is then
put Into presses where about one-half
of ftiie water is pressed out. After
pressing it is still damp and in the
form of cakes; these cakes are next
broken up and dried by passing therg
th'.ough a mechanical drier heated
by ‘
tjtoani. Tho damp cakes go
in at one end of the machine and tile
dry cakes cor.10 out at the other, when
they are ground to a powder and sluic¬
ed ready for rorrkot. This blood will
usually contain.about Thirteen percent.
of nitrogen, v. inch is the equivalent of
about sixteen per ee :t. of ammonia,
but as in the etise of the cotton seed
meal, there is actually no ammonia in
It.
TAN.TACE.
T ue next important product of the
slauguterhouse is whwat is known to
the fertilizer trade as "Tankage.”
This is a mixture of blood, bones,
waste scraps of meat, etc. This ma
terial get3 Its name from the
fact that it Is cooked in huge
tanks in the first preparation. It is
cooked under steam pressure at
a high temperature for several hours.
As a result, most of the fat in Die mass
is melted and rises to the top of the i
tanks, where it is skimmed off and i
utilized for soap-making and other pur- j
poses. The jiones and the cooked
Meat, etc., now lie at the bottom of cho
tank, and tile tank water is dark and
highly colored—is in fact a sort of
soup, containing nitrogenous matter in
solution. The solid matter, bones, etc.,
arc removed and crushed or ground in
the same way as was done with the
dried blood product.
CONCENTRATED TANKAGE.
The tank water i* run into a vacuum
evaporator, the excess of water re¬
moved, am! a product known as “Con¬
centrated Tankage” is the final result
of the treatment. The finished mater¬
ial contains about twelve per qgnt, of
nitrogen. The (iripij amt ground Bone
Tankage, or what is known as simply
Tankage, contains about seven per
cent, of nitrogen, ten per cent, of total
phosphoric acid and six and one-half
per cent, of available RttofipUerie acid.
BONE MEALS.
There are also three kinds of bone
meal produced: raw gone meal, regu¬
lar bone meal, and steamed boqp meal.
The first i§, gs i(.s panic indicates,
uypduefcd by the crushing and griml
ing of raw bones, after removing any
adhearing fat or meat. This material
contains about four per cent. Qf Ultfit
gen. twenty-tbypp tier eefit, of total
pltoSpHoi'W acid, and eight and one
half per cent, of available phosphoric
acid. The regular bone meal is cooked
under pressure for a few hourg jq t' lt i
tanks; this remote* (at and also causes
iSUUe i<«* of nitrogen, but makes the
product grind easier and finer. This
grade of bone meal contains ahpqt
three per cent, nitrqgfn, twbfity-SbYcn
and obfi'k&P l’«V total phosphoric
tick! anff twelve and one-half per cent,
available phosphoric acid. Steamed
bone meal is the product of the gtpu
works, and is made boiling'all by grinding' the
bones left after- the fat an I
gliio out of them that can be obtained.
This process reduces the perpentotSe
of nitrogen, so that gtpftmod beme meal
will hftyjly average more than two
pet' cent, of nitrogen, but has about
the same amount of phosphoric acid
as the ordinary bone meal.
HORN AND HOOF MEAL— MISCON¬
CEPTIONS ABOUT.
Horn ttud hoof meal is another pro¬
duct of the slaughter-house. Imper.
feet horns and dark colored hoofs are
flr„t thoroughly steamed, then dried
and ground into meal. The better
quality of horn and hoofs command
very high prices, even as high as
?200 a ton, for other purposes, in the
manufacture of buttons and novelties;
hence the quantity of this material
coming on the market is limited.
There was formerly a great prejudice
against it, and it used to bo considered
fraudulent to • se it in fertilizers,
l.ven in standard works on Agricul¬
tural Chemistry of quite recent date
the material \t> spoken of as being
very afliwly available as plant food.
Tills, however, has in the past two
or three years, been shown to
be an error and the material
is now regarded by the best in¬
formed as a rich and highly available
source of nitrogen. The quantity of
it on the market is comparatively small.
There are many other products of the
packing-house, but these are the chief
ones of interest to the fertilizer trade
and to the farmer. In the next letter
I will finish describing the nitrogenous
fertilizer materials, and write you
something about phosphates.
Yours truly,
JNO. M. McCANDDESS,

IRRIGATION,
Mr. W, R, Weike in Farm and
Ranch for July 26th, 1902, writing for
his own State, Texas, says: “If the
rice farmer could find means to irri¬
gate his field and keep it lor weeks,
and even months, under water, why
should the cotton, wheat and corn
raising people not be able to give their
fields one, or even two irrigations, one
before end another during the drouth
The subterfuge that it costs too much
that the farmer is not able, is untena
Lie, The fact is that, either he doci !
not believe In it, or he is too indolent
to get out of the old rut. If he is nor
able to do it alone, can’t he combine
with ids neighbor? It seems that the j
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
costly i
vested every year in farm ma¬ ;
chinery rusting and rotting in the rain, |
could have been better employed on
irrigation plants, that would enable the
buyer to have something to reap apfi
thrash. Tlie best reaping and thrash¬
ing machinery cannot harvest a crop
that i* not grown. Gpod cultivation
goes far to make a crop, but, if there
*8 not sufficient moisture in the soil
i to dissolve the plant and enable. the
root to assimilate the same, there will
not be a paying crop, even on the best
available ., , , , bottom soil - even »* the sub
' 80,1 is taking some moisture from the
lower strata and a half a bale of cotton
or 20 bushels of corn to the acre may
be raised on this exraordinary soil.
Two bales of cotton and 80 to 100
bushels of corn to the acre with one
good irrigation at the right time would
make the gravest farmer smile. The
upland or prairie farmer is still more
’ n need of irrigation that the owner of
rich alluvial bottom lands.”
Wow wo will add to this remark of
^ r - 'Velke’s irigation may not be prae
ticible on all Georgia farms, but there
are sections of the State where it is
practicable, and whore it would se
cure to the farmer immunity from
drouth and consequent failure of
crops.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
The Jersey cow is known all over
Georgia for her many excellent quali¬
ties as a milker and butter producer.
Another excellent milking breed is the
Holstein, noted especially for the abil¬
ity to give large quanitles of milk,
though not so rich as that furnished by
the Jersey.
From the Southern Planter, publish¬
ed in Richmond. Va., we have seen an
account of a fine herd of Hoisteius
owned by Mr. T. O. Sandy of Burlt
ville. Nottoway County, V ft Mr.
,
Sandy’s herd has made a wonderful
record pg milkers and cream pro¬
dUtm ns. The cream is shipped to
Richmond every day, while the separas.
ed milk is fed to the calvos atui hogs.
Mr. Sandy bps also a fine herd of
Berkshire hogs, a flock of Dorset sheep
and breeds of Hackney horses.
The most interesting pait of thi3
story is the effect produced upon his
farm whinh, When he took it in hand,
NVflw tl poor southskle farm, so poor
that he could with difficulty raise
enough to supply a few cattle. New
It produce* the heaviest crops of corn
ffutl grain, forage crops for the silo and
hay for the barn. There is now never
any lack of abudanf feed for the large
number of mouth;? to be fed.
Th<? manure from the stock Is care
fully saved and applied to the land, be¬
ing supplemented with slag phosphate
when and wherever needed, This to¬
gether with » rotation of crops calcu¬
lated to keep the supply of humus con
stantly on the increase m the laud is
the secret q( Mr. Sandy’s success.
Tllo keeping of live stock and pro
nor building up of the soil will make
many a poor farm in Georgia as fertile
as the farm ot Mr. uandy, and make its
owner rich besides.
Some prefer raising beef-cattle, and
there is probably us much money in
them as in dairy stock. They certain¬
ly will do their part just as well to¬
ward enriching the soil and malting it
bear abundantly.
Every farmer cannot do ail the
things recommended by this Depart¬
ment, but all can do some of them
and a few can do all. Let each man
do his best with the means at his dis¬
posal and the wealth of our entire
State and of its individual citizens
will increase in a measure iinparrallol.

WHEN TO SELL AT A PROFIT.
We find the foiowlng good advice
in the “Massachusetts Ploughman” of
July 26th, 1902: "It is one tiling to
know how to fatten cattle or swine at
the lowest possible cost, and another
thing is to know how and when to sell
them at a profit. We know but one
sure rule for the selling part, though
we could give nearly a dozen for the
fattening. Sell them when they are
well fitted for slaughter; a day or a
week later means extra tyd and small
gain; a day or a weekTess means a
lower price than might be obtained if
they were in prime condition. Some
have bad experience enough to tell
this by the look and feel of the animal.
Others need the help of the scale to
tell them when the gain in weight is
enough to pay for the food given. The
scale is more likely to be accurate
than the shrewdest guesses. Do not
make the mistake of feeding to long
after they have reached the prime
point.
GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.
GEORGIA BEEF CATTLE.
With many people there is great
objection to western beef on aoonnt of
the taste that clings to most of it
from the materials that have been
used in the cold storage plants, to
keep it in good condition for the mar
' IC '
When Georgia beeves have been
well fattened and properly cared for,
their flesh is much preferred by many
people. Hitherto the supply has never
been sufficient to meet the demand.
In view of the high price of western
meat, a fine opening is presented Un¬
enterprising Georgia framers. If thej
wlll set aside part of their land for
the pasturage of beef cattle and breed
from the best beef strains, we shall
soon have fine packing houses at homo
and with an abundant supply of homo
raised beef, prices will come down to
the level of the po*oi man's purse.
