Natures Assistance.

Germany, which has long had a
monopoly in furnishing carbonate Of
potash fertilizer to the farmers of the
United States, will hereafter be com
PEELED to seek other markets for that
product if some experiments which
are now being conducted by the depart
ment of agriculture are as successful
as officials think they will be, says q
Washington dispatch to the New York
Mail
These experiments promise to furnish
a new fertilizer to consumers N the
United States at a price much lower
than has heretofore prevailed. They
are of immense importance to agricul-
tural interests. and especially to tobac-
co growers of Texas.
Oddly enough, the movement has its
genesis in the bureau of roads, which
ordinarily has nothing to do with such
subjects as fertilizers. Last summer
when DR.. Cushman of the roads Office
was testing some granite rock material
he was working in the laboratory with
very finely powdered rock the idea
struck him, as it has struck a good
many other chemists, that it was a
shame that the United States, with an
unlimited supply of rock high in its
percentage of potash, should have to
depend on other countries for its potash
salts. No commercial deposits of the
salts have ever been found in this
country, as in Germany
He extracted some of the potash by
electricity, then decided that as ground
rock was very cheap it might be worth
while to try the experiment of letting
the plants do their own extracting. He
made tests on his own place and found
that the powdered rock did actually act
as fertilizer, though the potash it car
ried was so tied up that it took the
chemistry of nature to extract it and
feed it into the plant. But the first
trial promised well.
The work was then turned over to
the bureau of plant industry, and three
plots Of tobacco were planted in the
greenhouse. One of these was treated
with the German fertilizer, another
was left without any fertilizer, and the
third was fertilized with finely ground
granite. The granite was high in pot
ash, but it had not been treated in any
way, and if the experiment succeeded
it simply meant that there was a big
new field of home grown fertilizer
open to the farmer.
Recently the crops Of tobacco were
cut The imported fertilizer had pro-
duced a crop green that weighed 155
pounds. The powdered rock produced
a crop of 154 pounds, and the infer
tilted crop was spotted and ran about
40 pounds or a little under.
The crop was examined by experts,

Babies Came Too East.

An anti-race suicide insurance com
pany in Boston has been forced to
quit business. 1t based it's calculations
Cd what is believed to be a normal
birth rate and paid bonuses of $50 to
81, 900 upon the birth of a baby, ac-
cording to the premium charged. At
ter running along for about year
the concern found that the babies were
coming too fast, and that it was in a
fair way to become insOlvent. This
runs contrary TO the common idea that
babies are scarce in Boston.

TESTS MAY PROVE VALUABLE TO FARMERS
Agricultural Department Investigating the Value of Granite Rock
as Fertilizer When Ground Fine

and so far as could be told the LEAF
was not only just as heavy, but Of just
as good texture in the rock fortified
patch as in that on which the imported
fertilizer had been used. The crop is
being dried now, and it will take a
long time before it is all properly
cured so that 1t can be made up fOT
smoking and finally tested.
But that was a greenhouse expert
ment, and greenhouse work to field
work is about like laboratory expert
ments to commercial work What sue
ceeds under glass may or may not be
success out Of doors. But the depart
ment was so we'll pleased with the re-
suits that 1t has tried the new fertilizer
on crops of tobacco in Connecticut,
Virginia, Kentucky and Florida.
These crops are now Just getting I'M
der way, and a great deal of interest Is
felt in the success of the work out Of
doors The principal question seems to
be whether there will be enough water
in the natural rainfall to make the
potash in the ground rock available for
the plants.
During anything like fairly wet sea-
son there is little question that there
would be water in plenty. But it is
possible that for very dry crop there
will have to be as much as a tenth
of imported fertilizer added to the ma
tive rock
The commercial value of the work is
in the fact that the imported fertilizer
costs in the United States about 500
a ton. The ground rock, on the other
hand, can be produced for about SO a
ton, and there is so much Of it in the
country that runs high in potash and
is available for use that the supply
could never be cornered.

No Use for JaiIs In Kansas.

DR.. Chas. NJ. Sheldon recently de-
clared that the majority for prOhibi-
ton is larger in Kansas today than in
1880. Letters read from Governor
Hoch and Congressman Scott stated
the benefits of prohibition. Among
other facts mentioned were these:
Eighty-fve counties of 105 have no
paupers, thirty-tive county jails have
no prisoners, and one Jail is used by
farmers to store corn. A quarter of
a million people twenty years of age
or more have never seen a saloon. He
stated that in his journey from TOpe-
ka to Hartford he saw more drunken
men and boys than in his seventeen
years residence in Kansas.

What Was Seen In Place Where

Deadly Drug Is ManufaC tured.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"Slip on this glass mask, >" said the
foreman. "You will need it,"
The visitor donned the uncanny
mask of glass, and the foreman led
the way to the cyanide of potassium
department.
1--WE make LOCO tons of cyanide a
year." he said. IA dose of five
grains is fatal one. Thus our an
nual product is enough to Kill 1900
600 people.
He opened door and a room filed
with writhing flames, dense shadows,
sparks, smoke and weird figures in
glass masks was revealed. In the
center of the room, in great caul-
dron, 100 pounds of molten cyanide OF
potassium bubbled and seethed. The
flames glinted strangely on the glass
masks.
The foreman cOughed.
"These fumes, he said, ''are whole
some. The men, you see, are all ro-
bust. | have known weakly chaps,
working here among these strange
fumes, to pick up health and strength. "
In another clean, cool room the fin
ished cyanide was stored. 1t looked
like crystalized white sugar, good
enough to eat.
Good enough to eat" said the
foreman graveIy. well, we have
had men eat it. Four men committed
suicide in that way. The fumes seem
to create in our men desire to taste

Spring Cafarrh.

Almost every one has come to believe
that spring is a season that brings de-
rangements of the body dependent on
blood impurities.
This belief is an old one, is nearly uni
versal, and has arisen, not as the result
of the teachings of the medical frater-
nifty, but has been learned in the bitter
school of experience.
Nervous Depression.
Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is q fertile source
of blood impurities.
There are general lassitude, dull,
heavy sensations, continual tired feel
ings, with irregular appetite, and some
times loss of sleep.
That Tired Feeling.
That tired feeling, which is the nat
ural result OF the depressing effect of
warm weather Immediately after the
1nv3gorating cold of winter, quickly
disappears when Feruna is taken.

CALLING IN COTTON LOANS
BANKS WANT HOLDERS TO SELL
STAPLE NOW ON HAND.
Are Letting 1t BE Known That They
Would Like to Have Cotton
Securities Cashed in.

In a recent number of the New York
Commercial appeared the following:
"Some leading spot men say that
southern bankers are demanding that
all cotton they have money loaned on
be turned loose, and that there will be
a food OF cotton here before july"
Investigation in Savannah, saws
the Morning News, has revealed the
fact that some of the local banks
which have money out on cotton,
either directly o! through country
banks, are preparing to recommend
to the interior that cotton be chased
inn rather than held for further
advance. 1t is known that a cOnsld-
cradle amount of cotton is being held
for Is cents, and it is said that banks
which have money out on such lines
will insist that they be repaid, even if
the cotton must be thrown upon the
market.
1t is pointed out by the banks that
within less than ninety days the new
crop will be coming on the market,
which will, of course, tend to reduce
the value of the old stock. 1t is the
plea of the banks that they do not
care to run the risk of the deteriOra-
ton of their securities which they al
legged may result.
Bankers in New York.
At a recent meeting of the bankers in
New York city there were present rep
resentatives from many Southern
banks, and the subject was discussed.
AS a result of statements made to
them it is said that the bankers were
generally inclined to the idea of grad
ually calling in their loans on cot
ton.
1t is understood that the loans will
not all be recalled at once, hint be-
ing made first that it would be we'll to
sell cotton on which the money of the
banks has been placed. If sugges
tions fail then more heroic measures
are to be applied.

Prices on Wall street Have Come a.,a

New York, Jan 27-Prices on the
stock exchange have traversed a much
wider range this week than in the weeks
preceding, the Irregularities Of the
movement being more pronounced ana
the swings both up and down sharper
IMAM in a long while past. What these
features seem to mean is that the bal

sellers, has been more nearly even than
the market has seen it at any time dur

side the return to low money rates has
brought in a great deal of new invest
