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 believing that we should have a better OA. »TOHXA. the J? 11,8 Kil,d Y ™ 1,3,8 A|W3,S Bou £ M Auer’s Hair i vigor. ■m— » " What does it do?

AYE» Lowell, Mass. 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 O B Stevens, Commissioner. OABTOTII A. 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 Agricultural Department. SOUTHERN RAILWAY. Comlen«*<l of Train*. In Effect Jour llth.

(Copyright, 1899, by G. L. Kilmer.J " 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 (Continued on seventh column.) (). A. NIX, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW.

I'h-s »** 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.
