COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.

AS commercial fertilizers are usually
sold they are put up in bags and the
formula printed on the bag as re-
quired by law. Often times there are
a dozen ingredients mentioned and no
doubt all of them are contained in the
mixture, but, as every farmer knows.
or should know, the agricultural value
OF any fertilizer lies wholly in the
amount Of nitrogen generally placed
On the fertilizer bag as ammonia) pot
ash and phosphoric acid it contains.
Beyond these three ingredients the
farmer has no interest. While the com.
mercial value Of the plant foods vary
in different sections the variation is
but slight, hence one can safely fig
ure nitrogen as worth seventeen cents
pound, potash four and one-half cents
4 pound, and phosphoric acid at four
cents a pound. OF course the forms
Of potash and phosphoric acid vary
in price, but not sufficient to have
much bearing on the total
We will assume that the analysis on
certain brand calls for two per cent

phosphoric acid and three per cent
Of nitrogen (ammonial. This would
make in a ton Of fertilizer forty
pounds of potash at four and one
half cents pound, $3.50; 100 pounds
of available phosphoric acid ct four
cents pound. $64C, and sixty pounds
of nitrogen tammonia) at seventeen
cents pound 5000, total for the
ton Of $3.50, which represents the ac-
tual commercial value of the ingre-
dents in the ton Of fertilizer which
are Of use to the farmer. The differ
euce between this amount and the
amount asked for the fertilizer repre-.
sents cost of packing, labor, profit, ETC.,
invested by the manufacturer. From
these figures one can readily ascertain
for himself if he is paying Il higher
price for having the fertilizer mixed
for him than is warranted.

THE POSTAGE STAMP.

It is curious that with all the search
ing after issues that has been going on
for years in this country no party has
taken up the postage stamp. Who can
say how many millions Of these are
used every day? Who for years back
has used one without condemning It?
The postage stamp of modern days
Is a nuisance instead of a conven-
ience. II often lacks sticking power
but ii always refuses TO tear along the
line of punctures and often the stamps
are so brittle that they break right in
two. One-half blows away in the
draft and the other half is no good
for carrying a letter. What is 1t that
has been cheapened Is not explained
but the fact is there as plain as a
nose on a mans face that the stamp
Of today breaks crosswise and up and

nective tissue, and the formation OF
antitoxins which are deleterious to the
bacteria,
The contention that in comparison
with other pathogenic germs the tuber-
Gle bacillus is good natured, may sur
prise and call forth objections. Refer
ence to a few surgical observations
will forestall such. In tuberculous
peritonitis the delicate membrane is
covered with thousands of Opaque
nodules Of the size of a pin head. Each
of these harbors a few tubdrcular
baciln. To the inhammatory irrita-
tion OF these microbes the peritoneum
responds with discharge of a yellow
ish fluid. The classical remedy for
this affection is to open the abdomen,
empty the fluid, and allow few rays
Of light to fall in. The disease disap-
pears without further treatment. This
one proof for the spontaneous disap-
pearance of tubercular infection Is con-
elusive enough in itself. Moreover,
in order to convert the most skeptical
10 these as yet unpopular views, men
tion may be made that large assesses
emanating from bones which were de-
stroyed by the tubercular bacillus, as
so frequently is the case in the spine
and in the hip joints, often are alb
sorbed as soon as irritation and fric-
ton of the diseased bones Is removed.
Such revelations, however, should
never be an excuse for becoming neg.
ligent in the fight against tuberculosis.
For it is the pest which prepares the
soil for the infection by consumption
which year after year claims from 1O0,-
600 to $1,000 lives within the United
States.
Prof. Behring Of Marburg. Germany.
through his recent investigation, Is in
the position to sharply define the line
Of defense. He holds that II is milk
mainly which carries the bacillus into
the human organism. The baby's mu-
cous lining OF the intestines permits
the bacteria 10 pass through unharmed

conclusions can be drawn from the cX-

IMMUNITY FROM

tuberculosis and consumption are
by no means identical diseases. The
former is produced by the invasion of
the lungs by the tubercle bacilli. They

organs or the elementary canal as an
avenue of entrance. into the human
system. Tubercle bacilh are not

ways acquired during individual life.
No organ or tissue in the human
system is safe from being selected as
an abode Of the tuberculous poison,
with the exception, perhaps, of the
muscles. Structures Of prediction
are the lungs, the Emphatic glands,
and the bones. II is a fact established
beyond doubt that rs per cent OF the
population Of civilized countries carry
a tuberculous focus hidden away in
their anatomy On the other hand,
not more than 18 per cent of this vast
number ever acquire consumption.
The vast product of the tubercle

tamination by the invasion of ferment-

The combined action Of two radically
different types Of bacteria is called

classical type thereof. Not until mixed
infection takes place is the tubercle
bacillus a menace to life,
