FROM so TO $4,000 TONS
Growth of the Tennessee Chemical Company Fertilizer
Business at Americas.

From an order of fifty tons placed
with it by Mr.. Smith eight years ago to
all output from its local mixing factory
of many thousand tens year, that is
the record of the Tennessee Chemical
Company at Americus.
In 1899 a farmer near Americas re-
quested Mr.. smith to secure him fifty
tons of the output Of the Tennessee
eompany's plant at Nashville, Tenn
This was the beginning of the connec-
ton of the company with this city and
county,
Mr.. Smith placed the order. 1t was
promptly filled. The results were sat-
isfactory. The next year orders came
in aggregating 500 tons. The results
were equally as satisfactory and the
credit of the brands became established
in this market
The third year of Mr.. Smiths selling
connection with the company found
orders in its hand from him totaIing
l 200 tons. The next year they had
grown to 1900 tons, and the fifth seas
on found the demand taking a more
than hundred per cent jump, the ship
ments to Americas district that year
aggregating $500 tons.
Then the Tennessee Chemical Com
pany people decided that city whose
trade in their fertilizer increased at so
rapid rate was good place to Guilt
vate. Mr.. L. G. Tlnsley, the head OF
the company, sent for Mr.. Smith to dis
cuss the location of a branch factory
here, to supply the trade requirements
of the territory Of which Americas is
the natural distributing point.

Building of the Factory Here.

As result of that interview, and of
Mr.Smith's advice, the construction Of
a factory was postponed until the next
year, that is, two years ago. Then a
site was secured on the Seaboard Air
Line road, just on the verge of town,
and a building 100 by $50 feet was
erected.
A high.class mixing plant was put
in and soon the great quarters were
packed thirty feet high with the ingre-
dents used in the preparation of Ten
nessee company's famous brands Of
fertilizers.
The season of 1866 pushed the
capacity of the plant to such an extent
that the manager, Mr.. L. P. Gartner,
who had been sent to Americas from
the home plant, realized the necessity
of an addition to meet increasing trade
requirements.
Accordingly last summer the build
ing was extended 80 feet in length, so
that it is row 24O feet long by 100 feet
broad. With two great mixing ma
chimes of the most approved pattern
the plant can easily turn out II, 900 tons
in the season of four months that such
plants are usually in operation, and on
q push might increase the capacity to
10, ZOO tons.
AS its entire output was easily dis
posed of this season it is not unlikely
that another year, or two, will find
either an extension of the present
building or the erection of second
structure near by.

Some Ways In Which Germs Get Into

imilker OF uncleanly nah.ts, may con-
tribute collection OF disease germs
still more potent for evil. The filth
content Of milk produced under such
conditions may be imagined.
1t has been found that ON an aver
age a loose hair, falling into the milk
from the cleaner parts of the COW, car
ries with it from 600 to 700 bacteria.
Particles of manure, or hair from
patches of manurial richness, con-
tribute q much more bountiful seeding
OF the milk; at the rate of several
millions for each gram, or half tea

DAIRY NOTES.

Not all COW keepers deserve the
title dairyman.

It to its pristine purity.
In Cuba the cows are driven from
house to house and the desired quanti-
ity of milk is drawn in the presence of
the purchaser.
Pure, wholesome milk is food rel
Jished alike by infants, invalids, and
lstrong men. The impurity of the
iproduct is what men most object to.
Many farmers living close to cities,
large or small, could develop profit

convinced.
A cooperative creamery run on a
large scale is money maker for its
lpatrons. Dairymen should pay more
iattention to the principles Of co-opera-
,tion. Cooperative creameries and
icheese factories are excellent indica-
ltions of the superior intelligence of

people cannot get the unadulterated

Haynlaking,

To make hay Of prime quality west
of the Cascade mountains is often a
difficult matter, says a farmers bulle-
tin issued by the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Most of the
hay crops, if allowed to mature nat
urally, are ready to cut during the
month of June, while the late spring
rains are usually not over until the
LIST of July. Thus haymaking would
naturally occur at a time when good
weather cannot always be relied upon.
Even when the weather is fair the
nights are cool and dews are frequent
and heavy. This difficulty is often
partially overcome by pasturing the
meadows in the spring until about the
LIST Of May to retard the development
OF the crop, so that haymaking will oc,
cur after the late spring rains are over.

The LudicrOuS and the Heroic.

The LudicrOuS and the Heroic.
An incident that combines the ludi
crous with the heroic is related as hav
ing taken place at Charlotte the next
day after the treaty Of surrender be-
tween General Johnston and General
Sherman General Breckenridge, then
Secretary of War, assisted in the ne
gotiations In fact, the celebrated
armistice between Sherman and John
ston was largely the work of Secre-
tary Breckenridge
After Breckenridge returned to Char
lotte he held council with some OF
the officers, and then rode out to camp
and made speech, in which the terms
of surrender was explained by him.
He was given a cordial welcome and
closed his remarks IN his character
istic manner, felicitously abiding to
the close of the struggle for Southern
independence, though it was plain his
feelings were of a contrary nature
After his speech soldier who had
not heard the Generals remarks, but
had been informed that a surrender
had been agreed upon, rode up, saluted
General Breckenridge and begged the
privilege of s.,king him few ques-
tons. General Breckinridge,' said
he, lis it true that arrangements have
been agreed upon for a surrender
which includes all Confederate troops
on this side of the Mississippi?"
ut is true" said General Breckin-
ridge, land the terms are such as should
be accepted"
"Well, General, 1 shall not accept or
be bound by Them" said the plucky
Southerner. Drawing himself up to
his full height, the fire flashing from
his dark eyes, he repeated: Il shall
not accept them; the rest of the army
can do as they please, but for me, the
sun shines as brightly on the other
side Of the Rio Grande as here" And,
waving his hand to the boys, he put
spurs to his mule, who also babe de-
fiance to the surrender in loud saw
file note. The last seen of the unre-
pentant Confederate he was belaboring
his mule with his SLOUGH hat, which,
with tail aloft, was making reasona-
bly good time for mule toward the
Rio Grande, where, no doubt the sol
der thought he would land some time
that evening.
