INDORSED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
ENTIRE MEDICAL FRATERNTTY.

OF all medicinal preparations that have been put
upon the market in recent years, the extract %
malt has proved itself one of the most valuable
tonic or remedial beverage. 1t has received
the unqualified recognition and support of ply
sicians, and is freely prescribed by them in many
cases, especially where :he nervous or physical
systems have been impaired by disease over
ork. The house of "DAVID NICHOLSON"
of this city, has recently introduced a pure malt
extract of high character, made at their request
and under their suggestions by Mr.. Adolphus
Busch, and which is popularity known as MICH
OLSON.S LIQUID BREAD" from It's ne-glVing
and healih-restorlns properties. sample sub
mitted to DIR. F. l.. James was made the subject
of a chemical analysis by him, and the result of
his Investigations are gwen in the appended GER
tifcate;

ssW. f. COULTER, Esq, National Druggist Dear
Sir: Having submitted the Nicholson malt eX-
tract to examination, as requested, take pleasure
in reporting that find il be all that the pro-
prietors claim for it. The results, as shown in the
following summary, are necessarily only approx
mate, but are sufficiently accurate for all practical
purposes.
1.-The specimens submitted consisted of
efervescing fluid, dark brown by direct and of a
deep ruby color by transmitted light, resembling
in general appearance and behavior a very supe-
riOr article of porter, It's taste was, however,
much mllder and more pleasant than porter, be-
ing somewhat sweeter than beer, the sweetness
masked and covered by very pleasant bitter,
derived evidently from hops. The specific gravity
of a sample fresh f. ON the bottle is 1922 plus
Amount of extractve matter in so cubic cent?
metres of the fluid is 1896 grammes, or about per
cent. Amount of alcohol, per cent. is 2.S4 plus
The extractive matter is apparently identical with
the "extractum maltis' of Trommer, of the
German PharmacOpRia. 1t consists almost en-
tirely of malt sugar, dextrine, being free from
fatty acids, etc. The fluid contains a very large
amount Of diastase, shown by the fact that it
easily hquetes an equal bulk of geatinOus starch.
This fact its low percentage of alcohol its efer-
vescence, its delightful taste and Odor, all combine
to recommend Ncholson's malt extract as being
most nOurishing beverage and the best article
of the sort that has ever come under my exami-
nation. Respectfully,

WINTER WHEAT,

Some seasonable Suggestions rs to the
Proper Time of sowing the Crop.
II is not necessary 10 get the surface
Of the soil fine and smooth for winter
wheat. The late George Geddes said:
''He would not let a mar roll his wheat,
il he would do it for nothing" He
liked to see small clods on the surface,
as they protected the young plants.
All are agreed, however, that the soil
underneath must be fine enough and
moist enough to start the seed, Wheat
likes n firm soil. What we call "clay
spots" II drained and well plowed and
made mellow enough underneath. pro-
duce the best wheat In the field. But
we need careful blowing, and on such
land II IL not easy 10 get along without
u roller. In fact, we have to harrow
and roll and roll and harrow repeatedly,
TO get enough fine earth to cover the
seed. On such land n drill is almost
indispensable. II puts the seed down
deep enough to reach the moist soil.
while II sown broadcast much Of the
wheat would dry up among the clods.
rhirty.fye or forty years ago, when the
Hesslan fly injured our wheat, Il was
not considered safe to sow wheat before
the 10th Of September. and from that TO
the Goth or 25th Of the month. But In
1855 the nudge appeared. This insect
attacked. especially, the late crops Of
wheat. We looked for earlier varieties
Of wheat, and praciced earlier sowing.
Some farmers sowed rs early ~ the last
week 10 August, and very many aimed
TO get In all their wheat by the first
week In September. For many years
the nudge has not troubled us; but
farmers still find II desirable TO sow
early. Occasionally a crop is injured
from too carly sowing, but taking one
year with another, experience seems to
indicate that II Is better to SOW on the
9th Of September than on the 10Th, and
still more so than on the 18th. II. As
some fear, the Hcssian fy i about Ia
visit US again, we shall be compelled to
SOW later; and II so we shall have 10
make our land richer. Probably those
Of us who drill In superphosphate with
our wheat will ind Il better 10 use 4
higher-grade article. containing :
higher percentage Of ammonia or avail
able nitrogen. We shall want some.
thing to give the plants n good star
and push them rapidly forward. u,
this we do not mean to say that tn,
plants a be pushed out Of harms wa,
from the Hessian fly. but the extr.
plant-food will. 10 \ considerable OK
tent. make up for the DELAY In sowing
and In many seasons give US large
crops than we should have II We ha,
own earlier without manurc. or will

he had visited most Of the great iron

England, Scotland and Wales, and many
In this country. including those Of Ala

bears the palm as the greatest iron

cal investigation, aided by tests made
with the diamond drill, il has been pretty
well demonstrated that Cornwall can
produce 100000 tons Of ore per year
for three hundred years to come. The
original Cornwall furnace was built by
Cirtus Grubb in 1925, who operated IL
