Commissioner 0. R. Stevens’
Monthly Talk to Farmers.
Partial Review of the Work of the Ag
ricultural Dt'p.irlmeiit to Dutr.
When I first came into the agricult
ural department, believing that the pub
lic demands required that we should
have a perfect record of all the acts and
doing* in this department, so that the
people at all times might be able to get
inch Information as we could furuisb.
or that the publio might desire, I inau
gurated a thorough system of bookkeep
ing, by means of which this information
could be readily obtained. For want of
snffloient means with which to do the
work of the department, we have been
handicapped to some extent. However,
the records are in snch shape that any
matter pertaining to this office can be
fully and perfectly understood, and
every item that comes into the depart
ment or goes out of it is fully accounted
for. I believe that the public is entitled
to know what this department of the
atate government it doing.
«K TUB qUKSTIOI OK FERTILIZERS.
Having had some 30 years’ experience
in the use of fertilizers, and having
some knowledge of the ingredients
which go to make np these mixtures, I
have done my best to see that consumers
should be thoroughly protected, as is
now provided for by law. With this
object in view I have visited in person
a number of the larger manufacturing
establishments and examined the erode
material, to satisfy myself that it was
such as would produce good results, and
was suited to the purpose for which it
was intended—that of supplying the
elements of a wholesome crop food.
These personal inspections have been
thorough, and I hope have brought
about good results. Early in last Feb
ruary I published in the press of the
state the following article:
“Upon the question of fertilizers there
has heretofore been great complaint
among the people of the state —espe-
cially from the consumers—that the
inspections and analyses of fertilizers
were not complete, and that the plant
ers were not properly protected by this
department. Now, whether there has
been any reason for this general talk I
do not know; bnt in order that there
may be no gronnd for snch complaints
In the fntnre, I have fully made up my
mind, as far as it is possible for this de
partment to do, I will inspect all of the
fertilizers and have analyses made of
the same. With this in view lam now
getting np samples from all parts of the
state where goods can be found, and I
have tvged the inspectors to be diligent
in making their inspections, in order to
get proper and correct samples, that both
the consumer and manufacturer may
be properly protected.
“One other thing. I invite all of the
consumers of the state, and retail agents
who are selling to consumers, that when
they desire an inspection made of fer
tilizers in their hands, if they will make
suoh a request of this department, I
will have an inspector to go at once,
take samples and tend them to this de
partment, when an analysis will be
made.
“In making snch inspections'll is proper
to state that in no case will they be
made from broken bags or packages.
When a sample is taken from a package
it must be in its original condition.
This is the law under which we are
working.
“As a matter of fact, the consumers o!
fertilizers pay all of the tax on fertiliz
ers sold in this state, therefore they are
entitled to full and ample protection;
and, io far a* this department is con
cerned, it will be my pleasure to Bee
that all safeguards are thrown around
that the law allows. No manufactu
rer will object to this. Honest manu
iaotnrers and dealers are willing to hare
a true and correot inspection and analy
sis made of their goods."
The above has been strictly complied
with. Hundreds of special samples
have bean sent to this department, and
in every instance tbs analysis has been
promptly made and the result mailed to
the party at interest. I trust that the
methods adopted by me have brought
about good results and that the farmers
and consumers fsel that they have been
amply protected by the Deportment of
Agriculture in this particular, for it has
been my most earnest desire to see that
snob should be the case.
I am olearly of the opinion that the
multiplicity of brands of fertilizers is
wrong and misleading. For instance,
we bare registered in this department
some 1,800 brands, wben in reality we
should not have over ten grades of fer
. Slicera. Ido not believe that gnanos
should be sole by brand, but that they
ahouM be sold by grade, for the very
reason that the multiplicity of brands
now ou the market oreate confusion and
are calculated to mislead the farmer.
'* Wa have so much law upon this ques.
Hon that It is difficult for the manufact
urers to oonform strictly to all require
ments. and, in truth, it is difficult even
for ttois department to construe these
laws
ths Quaertos of oils.
This department has charge of the oil
business of the state. I have the ap
pointment of ths local oil inspeotors
These inspeotors are required to inspeot
all oils that oome into the state. They
are required to rejeot all oils that do not
oome np to the test required by law of
180 degrees Fahrenheit, and to make
monthly and quarterly reports to this
office, ahowing the test of each ship
ment of oil that ie permitted to go to
■ala, and to remit the moneys belonging
lo the state to the state treasurer. I
have kept a perfeot record of all the
acta and doings of each inspector in
Georgia Looking to the more thorough
Isipscdon of oil sold Id this state, and

gram. t.,.. , was ii vu uo.ug .-.mu, so early
as in-t ■■Yiittwr, when thr legislature
was In session, I requested that body
to permit mo to appoint an oil
Inspet'tor for the state at large, whose
inly it should is) to overlook the work
at tite local inspectors, to sso that
their instruments were in proper condi
tion to see that the methods employed
iu inspecting oil were proper and unl
form, as recommended by the state
chemist. In addition to this, it wonld
be his doty, acting in 00-operation with
the local inspectors, to see that every
tank, barrel or package of oil that came
into the state was properly inspected and
branded before the same should be per
mitted to go to sale. While I make no
charge or insinuation against either of
the oil companies now doing bnsiness in
this state, at the same time I conoeive it
to be the duty of this department to see
that none but pure oil is permitted to
go to sale, in order that the life and
property of the people shall be fully
and amply protected. Entertaining
these views, I urged the legislature to
pass the hill refered to; but for some
reason it failed to receive the sanotion
of that body. Therefore, I have been
forced to rely entirely upon the local
inspectors and upon my personal efforts
to see that the requirements of the law
are complied with. The result of those
efforts have been shown by the letter of
the state chemist to me, and by the or
ders subsequently issued by this depart
ment, all of which will be found else
were in this monthly talk. I have been
as diligent as possible in protecting the
people, and in every way that I conld
under the present law, which I re
garded as defective iu many particu
lars. However, the people from now
need have no fear that any spurions oils
will be sold in this state. During the
present month I have seized and con
demned abont 760,000 gallons of oil,
at different points, careful analysis
by the state chemist and oil inspectors
in those places having shown said
oil to be below the safety test required
by the laws of Georgia. The refiners
have been notified to bring said oil np
to the legal standard, or else remove it
from the state, and I shall see to it that
this order is strictly enforced. I have
made it a personal duty to see that the
various inspectors of the state inspect
properly and scientifically the oils that
pass through their hands; and I hope
when the legislature meets it will give
ns snch laws as will more fully and am
ply protect ihe people iu this state.
THE CROPS.
I regret to say that in many parts
of our state we have had no rain for
from eight to nine weeks, and
in some sections the corn crop,
it would appear, will be almost a
failure. The cotton is quite small, j
but with good seasons from now on we I
may have a fairly good crop. I
urge our farmers to commence at the
earliest moment to save all the
forage they can, in order to help out the
short crop, aud early in the season they
should put in plenty of oats aud wheat,
that it may not be necessary to buy
feed stuff next spring aud summer.
Iu conclusion, let me again urge upon
the farmers of Georgia to continue the
reform iu our system of farming. We
should by all means raise everything
possible that is used upon the farm, at
home, thereby making our cotton crop
a surplus. Let us make one more des
perate effort to raise our own provi
sions, and compost our own fertilizers,
and breed our own stock, aud just so
far as possible pay cash for everything
we buy. We cannot afford to buy pro
j Tisions at time prices, and raise cotton
to sell at the present market value. This
means ruin to the farmers and will hold
in check the progress of our entire
state You will note in each commu
nity that the farmers who prosper are
the corn raisers, the men who raise their
own supplies and make cotton a stir
i plus crop. I, therefore, earnestly urge
I you to adopt this system and provide
on your farm the things that are used
at your home. When we have aceom*
i plishi-i this we have reached the point
of prosperity, and not only will the
farmers be benefited, but every class of
i peop.'i in Georgia

Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought
Curtlig Pea Vine Hay.
Mr. I. K. Self of Lincolnton, N. C-,
sends ns his plans for curing pea vine
hay, and while the plan is new to ns, it
certainly does well for him We give
our reader* his mode aB follows:
The curing process of the clay pea
is when the vines have yellowed np
some 2 or 8 feet from the gronnd
and some of the pods are ripening. Jly
plan has been to mow them down in
the morniDg, after the dew has thor
oughly dried off, and let them lie until
rhe evening of the next day, when I
rake them on shook. Then the evening
of the next day, If there has been no
rain and the dew is dried off, I banl
them and pack them in a rail pen 10 feet
square and bnilt just like a fence. I
keep a heavyweight man an them all the
time lam putting in. Be snre to pack
closely around the edges, patting frem
6to 8 2-horse loads in a pen, covering
them with a root that is snre not to leak
and leaving no open space between the
roof and the peas. After the peas have
settled, a roof made of wheat straw is
what X use. When the peas begin heat
ing and smoking, which they will do in
from three to five days, don’t disturb
them at all; just let them smoke. If yon
let in air, this spoils them. The
whippoorwill pea is of a shorter
growth and will not require yellowing
np so far; the same process as the other
for curing and putting up. If there
shonld be a great deal of crab grass
mixed with them it is so mnch the bet
ter; or if yon shonld choose to sow pop
corn at the rate of 2 gallons per acre, it
will add greatly to the quantity of the
feed. This being my process, for three
years, of coring pea vine hay.
I am now feeding some of the finest
hay the country ever saw. cured with
the lost of bnt very few leaves.—State

" of tin* few so
noticeable. When looking for the un
exploited heroes at Camp WikofT, 1
ran upon the story of Major William
Auman of the Thirteenth regulars.
The dash of Lieutenant Anderson’s
handful! to the top of the crest ahead
of all the rest and the seizure of the
Spanish flag by this baud Seemed to
fill the measure of glory for the regi
ment. After noting it down from An
derson’s lips l was prepared to leave
camp, when tne colonel said: “I hope
you won’t overlook Major Auman. He
was a great figure in the crisis of the
charge.”
Auman is a civil war veteran and a
soldier of striking appearance. He was
second in command in the early part
of the attack upon San Juan hill. The
Thirteenth dashed direct upon the
blockhouse at a time when Its defend
ers were stirred up to a stubborn de
fense. The Americans had been aim
ing at the stronghold for over two
hours, and the Sixth infantry, support
ed by the Sixteenth, were halted on
the slope to the right of the Thir
teenth, the latter having an acclivity
In front with a steepness of 50 degrees.
For a few minutes the regiment lay
on the slope and fired at the Spaniards
in the trenches at the blockhouse. The
artillery was also pounding at the
same target, and finally Parker’s Gat
lings swept the position with a terrible
fire. Just how seriously the enemy
was harmed by this storm of shot has
never been told, but there was a sign
of confusion iu their lines, with men
running back from the front. In the
heat of battle It is Impossible to tell
when an enemy has had a fatal blow.
But Major Auman took the chances
that the hour had come to charge, and
rose up in front of the fort, in full view
of his men, and shouted: “The Span
iards are running, boys! Forward,
Thirteenth!”
The regiment shot forward like a
thunderbolt, clinching the victory if
not winning If. But that was not the
sole end accomplished by Auraan’s
timely action. Ills form could be seen
along the line of two brigades, and
his voice reached officers and men of
other regiments. They declared aft
erward that it was timely for they
had about come to the decision that
the fort could not be carried by the
force then in front of it. Auman’s
speech was a bracer, and the rush of
the Thirteenth under his lead was fol
lowed by the charge of four more regi
ments, two on each flank. Then San
Juan blockhouse fell.
It is difficult sometimes to say just
what stroke decides a battle, but the
rush forward of the Thirteenth under
Major Auman’s lead seems to have
carried the day. If not actually
slaughtered and driven out by Parker’s
Gatling fire, the Spaniards were terri
bly scared and made a precipitate re
treat. They soon gave indications that
they regretted their haste.
Major Auman learned the art of
fighting when lie was a boy. He enlist
ed so promptly in 1801 that he went
to the front among the famous “First
Defenders” of Washington. After serv
ing with gallantry four years he was
appointed lieutenant in the regular
army and took a course fighting In
dians on the plains. Another incident
at Sau Juan fort illustrates the power
of Individual courage at the right
time. A soldier in the Roosevelt hos
pital, New York, George J. Hanlon of
the Seventy-first, describing his ex
periences In the charge, said:
My company got mixed up, and I pushed on
with the Thirteenth regulars. When we reached
the top, some of us took shelter in the block
house and began firing 'from there at the opposite
hills. There wasn't one of the enemy in sight,
only dead ones, so we blazed away at nothing at
all for awhile. But they had us dead in range,
and it was no dream the way their bullets played
around us.
One of the bravest things I saw in the war
happened right there. An officer came up—he
was a major of the regulars, but I don’t know
what regiment—and he saw that we didn’t know
what to aim at and were getting a little rat
tled. So what did he do but quietly walk out in
front where the Mausers were coming thickest
and proceed to study the hills jvith his fleldglass
as unconcerned as you please. And every now
and then he would call out to us who were in
aide, "Men, fix your range at 800 yards and sweep
the grass off the ridge of that hill," or again:
"Men, I see Spaniards over there. Try a 1,000
yard range and see if you can’t get some of them.
Fire low." I never saw such nerve as that offi
cer had. He’d have stirred courage in anybody.
Haulou told two stories of ugly
wounds sustained by bis comrades in
the blockhouse from bullets tired
through the small window, and tiie
question was a natural one as to the
fate of the brave major outside. The
second comrade wounded was a boy
of 20. in the Thirteenth, and Hanlon
went out to call a lied Cross uiau to
attend him. He found one bending
over a prostrate form on the ground.
It proved to be that of the major. He
was shot through the heart.
Of unknown heroes there were not a
few at Santiago. Hanlon says that the

UJ Oi Oi ui are a severe drain upon the system, and are con

be eliminated from the blood, and no amount of external treatment
I can have any effect.
There is no uncertainty about the merits of S. S. S. ; every claim
made for it is backed up strongly by convincing
testimony of those who have been cured by it
and know of its virtues by experience.
Mr. L. J. Clark, of Orange Courthouse, Va., writes: ■ agjgjptMSM
" For six years I had an obstinate, running ulcer on my sPf
ankle, which at times caused me intense suffering. I was w: Li
so disabled for a long while that I was wholly unfit for
business. One of the best doctors treated tne constantly -s|.
but did me no good. I then tried various blood remedies.

wonderful. It seemed to get right at the seat of the nl» 7ifsbß
disease and force the poison out, and I was soon com
pletely cured.’’ Swift’s Specific—

the cutting of the barbed wire : vln
front of the Twelfth Infant ' -«> n*
advance to the stone fort, lbe line of
the Twelfth was long and the advance
necessarily slow on account of the
stubborn defense nr the Spaniards and
the delay caused by getting iu range of
the American guns tiling from the rear
over the infantry lines.
Finally a charge was ordered across
open fields inclosed by wire feuee. A
check at that point might lie fatal to
the assailants, and volunteers were
called for to cut openings through the
wire. Two ineu responded. They
crawled forward under cover, but at
the time of cutting the wires were ex
posed to Spanish lire. Neither was
hit. The commanding officer of the
regiment at Moutouk said that officer
who handled this work that day was
away from the regiment, and no one
in camp could give their names. He
personally saw from a distance the
men tit work and considered ii a brave
deed, but was too much absorbed In
the charge to inquire who they were.
When the regiment retired to its post
at Jefferson Barracks. Mo., safe from
the glare of publicity and lionizing, the
Identity of the men was made known
by their commander, Captain Haskell
of Company H. One of them, Cor
poral James L. McMillan, told ids sto
ry, dwelling particularly upon the
bravery of his comrade, Private J. W.
Smith. McMillan piloted Company H.
through the gaps his pliers had made
in the wire fence.
Captain Tutherly, commanding a
squadron of the First cavalry, told me
of a very modest hero of his own com
pany. This was Sergeant Karsten.
Kaasten was wounded In the charge
by a ball in the shoulder. Feeling some
strange sensation, he tore off his shirt,
examined the hurt and said it wasn’t
enough to send him to the rear. Con
tinuing in the line, he was soon over
come by a numbness of the arm, which
prevented him handling his Krag. In
stead of going to the surgeon, be used
his sound hand in caring for the
wounded on the field. Karsten was
too old to be commissioned from tlie
ranks and received no reward for his
pluck. In fact. It is the temper of the
regular not to seek reward for simply
doing a soldier’s sworn duty.
Soldiers of the noncombatant class
come In for many very hard scorings,
but when one of these gentry gets a
chance to face the music he does it like
a hero. The assistant surgeon of the
Twenty-first infantry, Captain H. C.
Fisher, gives a modest story of how
he helped the wounded on the firing
line at San .Tuan Hill. Having learned
that the regiment was to attack the
blockhouse Captain Fisher went for
ward and caught up with the men,
awaiting orders on the bank of a
stream. Says he: “The bullets were
zipping about. Captain Ebstein called,
‘Get down, doctor!’ and the doctor got
down and listened to the hornets.
Soon some one called out that Lieuten
ant Meade, just from West Point, was
wounded, and, keeping low till I got
to him, I dressed The wound in his
forearm, through which a bullet had
passed, both of us lying down. Then
came a staff officer to say that General
Kent ordered the Twenty-first to gain
an important hill, and they started
ahead at double time. About that time
I was called to dress some officer of
the Sixteenth, lying In the roadway
wounded, and when 1 could go on the
MAJOR AUMAN. CORPORAL M’MILLAN.
• [Thirteenth U. S]. [Twelfth U. 8]
Twenty-first was faraway ahead. I
started along a different fork of the
road and reached another stream with
high banks, where I jumped into the
water up to my knees. On the other
side some one said: ‘Oh, here’s a doc
tor! Lieutenant Mlchle (an aid to Gen
eral Kent) is badly hurt. Won’t you
look after him?’ And they took me to
him, lying on the muddy track.
"Poor fellow. It was my first fatal
Case. A bullet had passed through his
abdomen and he was pale, weak and
bathed In cold sweat. As 1 bent over
him he grasped my hand and told me
he was done for. I did all 1 could for
him and then asked for the Twenty
first, but all over the track were the
wounded of the Thirteenth, Sixth, Sev
enteenth and Sixteenth begging my
aid, and 1 could not leave them. I
hurried through the most urgent and
chased away to hunt up that Twenty
first. 1 ran across a color sergeant
who said that Colonel Egbert (Sixth
regulars) was wounded by the road
side. The patient old veteran said it
was not much and not to bother about
him, but it was a weak tone and he ap
peared very low. lie had been shot
through the abdomen, on the right
side.”
Colonel Egbert survived his San
Juan wound and was fatally wounded
leading a charge at Manila.
