THE ANALYSIS
OF FERTILIZER
The Formula on the Sacks to
be SimpIified.
BEGINNING IN JUNE 1901
The Change is Welcomed by the Bone
meal Manufacturers.
BEGINNING IN JUNE 1901
THEY MAY PUT 1T INTO EFFECT AT ONCE
The Formula Printed on the Sacks is Not Only
to be Simpler Than Heretofore, But il
is to be Uniform in All The
Southern States.

Next year will see inaugurated in North
Carolina and the other Southern States
a reform in the sale of fertilizers that
will be greatly to the advantage of the
farmer and will not hurt the manufactur-
err
The reform is one that was proposed
by the Commissioners of Agriculture in
the Southern States, at their first meet
ing in New Orleans and finally adopted at
their recent meeting in this city. 1t is
that the analysis of ingredients printed
on the bag shall be much simpler than
heretofore, and uniform throughout the
Southern States.
Beginning next June in this State, man
ufacturers will be required to put on
each sack of guano, the following in
formation:
The brand or trademark.
The weight.
The amount of available phosphoric
acid.
The amount of insoluble phosphoric
aci.
The amount of nitrogen instead of am
monia.
The amount of potash.
turer. =
In addition to the above the source of
each of these ingredients will be desig-
mated.
This leaves out of the analysis a great
deal that is'usually printed on the bags,
but that is really not material and that
as a rule the farmer does not under
stand. With the above analysis, how
ever. he is pretty familiar, recognizing
phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash as
important plant foods.
This reform in analysis has practically
been in force in North Carolina for the
past year and was suggested to the Com
missioners of Agriculture and it's adop-
tion secured principally through the eff
forts of DR.. Kilgore State chemist. Wher
first proposed it met with strong OPP
position, but finally he persuad-
ed the other chemists and the Commits
sioners to his way of thinking, and he
believes it is change that will be OF
great benefit to the farmer.
1t was at first proposed to put the re-
form into effect at once but Commission
err Patterson found on investigation that
fertilizer manufacturers, as a rule, have
their bags made and the analysis printed
nthem in June and July, and
as the above formula was not adopt
ed till September 1st, it was too late to
put it in force this year without great
cost and inconvenience to the manufac-
turer.
1t will therefore not be put into general
use until next season.
In the case of bone meal an alteration
or extension of the guaranteed claim is
being considered. which will give a
clearer conception of the real value OF
the bone meal offered for sale. The
analysis put on the sack will allow, in
addition to the nitrogen contained in the
meal. the amount of phosphoric acid
which is as a rule not Immediately avail
able but gradually becomes so under the
influence of the weather after it is put
in the ground, sometimes showing its
beneficial effect for several years.
The exact formula for bone meal regis
tration has, however, not yet been decided
upon.

WAS NO NEED FOR A DUEL.
A Big Americana Energetic Re-
Spouse to a Challenge from
a Little Cuban.

Duels are getting more and more out
of fashion in Havana, even among Gu
bans, but there is still an occasional
native who attempts to redress his
grievances against Americans by an APP
peal to the code. AS consequence the
rash man generally gets sat upon heav-
lily. One night lately 220-pound Amer
lean, more than six feet in height, went
into an American saloon. There was q
crowd at the bar, and the Yankee, with
out intending insult, pushed his weight
in between two men so that he might
get his drink. One of the chaps wedged
out happened to be little Cuban. I'm.
mediately he became extremely in
censed at this high-handed outrage.
Diving into his pocket with trembling
hands he pulled forth his cardcase and
extracted card. Then, with exag-
gerated courtesy, he tapped the big
Yankee on the arm and presented him
with the card. The American did not
understand the Spanish accompanying
the presentation, but he realized that
he had been invited to meet the Cuban
on the field.
This having dawned upon him, he de-
liberately tore the card into four pieces,
buttoned his coat, and reached for the
challenger. Selling his squarely padded
shoulders, he lifted his 12O odd pounds
right off the floor, shook him until his
hat flew off and his necktie decorated
his ears and then pumped him into a
cane-bottomed chair with such kerr
chunk that the breath fed from the
little fellows body.
"Tut, tut!" said the big man. Don't
bother me again or I'll spank you'll"
Thereupon the American turned to
the bar again, swallowed his drink, and
strobe out, while the Cuban meekly re-
arranged his toilet, without another
word. Having done this, he left the
saloon, going in the opposite direction
from that taken by the American
Chicago Inter Ocean.

CAUCASUS DISASTERS
rhe Recent Earthquakes There Only
Part of Long Series of
UpheavaIs.


The district of Alkhalkalaki in the
government of Tiflis in the Transcau-
cacus, which has just been the scene of
disastrous earthquake, is like all that
part of the world, subject to such Wis
itations. 1t was only just little more
"than ten years ago that great land
slide, the result of an earthquake, over
whelmed the village of Khorenzik, in
the Tortum valley, about 18 miles from
Erzeroum, and destroyed nearly 400 of
its inhabitants, only some IS escaping.
The circumstances of the disaster were
very curious.
On several occasions before the catas-
trophe took place the rumblings in the
mountain alarmed the inhabitants, who
sent delegation to the Kaimakam Of
the district to request him to visit the
village to select q new site to which
they might move. After the Turkish
manner, he delayed going until their
opportunity and their assurance that
the village had paid all its taxes made
him promise to meet the villagers on
the spot after prayers in the mosque
on a particular Friday. In the latter
part of the afternooA on the day ar
ranged, while the people were all as
sembled in the open space in front of
the mosque, and some of the boys and
girls had been sent to the pastures to
drive in the cattle, the kaimakam and
some other officials, with an escort of
Zaptichs, coming from the district
town, began to descend by the road in
to the valley. Then the face of the
mountain overhanging the village be-
gan TO move, and in few minutes the
village and everything in it had disap-
peared from view. Only the few chill
dren away in the pastures escaped.
When an examination of the ground
took place afterward it was found that
the village had been covered by the
landslide to depth of from 100 to 300
of any avail. At the beginning of the
century similar CONFUSION blocked
the upper part of the Tortum valley,
; and formed lake of considerable size,
and there is hardly year that some
changes do not take place in the con-
fguration of the country from earth
quakes. landslides,.and the giving away
of the walls of the great reservoirs of
water that exist in the mountain ranges
in the Caucasus. Examinations made
some years ago by Russian engineers
to discover a practicable way for tun-
mel to connect the railways north and
south of the great Caucasus chain re-
suited in the location of several of these
great natural reservoirs.
| 1t is probable that the full extent of
! the Akhalkalaki catastrophe is not yet
! known, for the country is SO broken and
the mountains SO PERCEPTIONS that it
will take some time to obtain all the de-
tails of the loss of life and destruction
OF villages.-N. Y. Sun.

SUFFER FROM DELUsIoN3.
Form Of Mental Malady That Causes
Many Persons to Imagine They
Are Prosecuted.

"You would be surprised" said an
old and prominent lawyer of this
city, chatting about the oddities of his
profession, ito know how many peo-
pie suffer from the delusion of persecu-
ton. ! am told by physicians that it is
form of mental malady just as well
defined as any other, and that it ought
to be regarded as a disease, instead of
an infirmity of temper. AT any rate, its
victim conceives the idea that certain
people, usually members of his own
family, are plotting against him, and it
Is next TO impossible 10 dissipate the
belief. speak with some assurance on
the subject, because one of the first
things the average man does when he
develops the persecution mania is tc

of such clients. Very frequently their
stories are SO exact and circumstance
that they will thoroughly deceive any
one who is not on his guard. Quite

That led to an investigation, and

death he believed firmly he was the vic
tim of a conspiracy, to which myself
was a party. have known lawyers TO
