Value Of Barn Yard Manure.

No exact figures can be given to
express the actual value of what IS
called farm y ard manure. The
three valuable cOnstltuents-nitTo-
gen, potash and phosphOric acid
vary widely in different analyses,
owing to kind and condition Of
the animals producing 1t, their
their food and the proportion and
kind of litter with which 1t may
mixed up. Again there is. a DIFF
ference between fresh,partly rotted
and thoroughly rotted manure,
aud its value IS further increased
or diminished By the manner III
which 1t has been preserved. The
following amounts are variously
given by different authorizes as
contained in a ton of barn yard
manure: Nitrogen, from nine TO
thirteen pounds; potash, from ten
10 twelve, and phosphoric acid,
from six to nine pounds. A very
important consideration ia the
use Of mixed manures Of THIS
description is their influence on the
texture and general character OF
ii,s soil 20 whicl they are applied.
While undergoing decomposition
they may also aid III changing
soase x tlae mineral constituents OF
tbssoif l:xarolable forms.

enty.four. In July 1888, the estab.
lishment employed 20,960 men. In.
Guiding the families Of the work

of 1868 souls, of whom "a, 1873

from 220 to 10000 pounds, 80

SALINE Butter.

J,nter. as a rule, is sailed TO

an ounce OF pure salt to a'pound Of
luttef is the amount required, The
clnrmng should not be continued
TOO long. Wien the butter Is in

water until il i clear, then careful
}, stir n'tbe salt ana press out the
water without breaking the gram
of Tue batter or squeeze it into a
pAsiv mass while working It, \
good deal OF Judgment aud exper.
ienee are requisite Tor determining
when butter has been worked just
enough, ioT It should not be worked
until it's entirely dry. No matter
whether dry sailed or brine sailed,
piece of good butter when cut
through with a knife should show
two moist, clean cut surfaces and
without any sticky butter adher-

The S. S. S. Company.

Among the very first establish
ments of Atlanta to become ma
tionally known when the Gate City
had set ont on its wonderful career
of fame and fortune was that
which has for years manufactured
and sold the celebrated rs. 5. s."
or Swift's Specific; and it was
through the uninterrupted and I'M.
yielding success and increasing use
and popularity of s. s. s. that this
house became famous.
1t is too late IN the day to re-
count with brevity the long and
unvarying triumphs of this soy
ereing tonic,a it Is much too late
to question its undoubted efficacy
and merit. Other preparations
have been brought into being by
the needs of human woe. Some OF
these have been meritorious and
have met the expectations and
claims built upon them. Others
have been fallacious. Some OF
them have survived. Others have
disappoarsd-have gone under by
their own gravity or been swept
away by superior remedies. To
the sterling and established repnte
of s. s. s., of course the fate of
other efforts could mean nothing.
Their success could not abate that
of the y. s. s., and their failure
could give il no wider field for its
tnumphs. A remedy so well
known and so universally success.
iul could we'll afford to submit to all
tests.
S. s. s. happens, too, to be a spe-
cifc for the very kinds and degrees
Of ailments and Affections to which
the vast percentage of human flesh
is heir in all climates, conditions
and circumstances These are
rheumatism, scrofula, blood poi.
sons, blood taints, mercurial and
vegetable poisoDs, ulcers, diseases
of the skIa, catarrh, cancer, ETC.
Elsewhere we print a full page
showing the wonderful scope Of
disease over whioh this specific
presides as a confessed annihilstor.
Our readers will find there a fuller

Excessive Use of StimuIants.

1t is probable that one of the
chief causes of IntemperaDce ls the
constant use Of stimulants and
condiments. The natural and I'M
perverted taste revOlts from the
use of alcohol and similar pungent
stimulants, bat when persons have
their food heated and seasoned by
such things the nerves of taste are
so duled that they lose all relish
for simple articles of food and must
have something that will bite, sting
and burn, to quicken their jaded
senses. Sit down at the table with
a drunkard and watch him as he
reaches for the castor and covers
his food with salt, pepper, pepper
sauce, mustard, horseradish, cat
sup, Worcestershire sauce, and all
the array af condiments found on
fashionable tables. Having thus
made his food unfit for any human
stomach, unless it we're made of
cast.Iron and copper.bottomed, he
proceeds to eat much more than he
needs in his present state Of health
and much more than he could eat
if it we're not for these stimulants.
When he has done this, and got
his throat filled with salt, pepper,
and stimulants of every kind, then
be wants something to drink, aud
water would fairly hiss down such
6 throat as that. Nothing less
than fOurth'proO: brandy is likely
to "cut the cobwebs," aud go right
to the spot. No wonder that such
a man abhOrs water or any similar
drink. His whole system has been
disOrdered, and bis tastes and ap.
petites have been perverted by his
evil methods of living.
