Pharmaceutical Journal 1t Is found
to contain total nitrogen equivalent in
round numbers to about pouno per

winter snowfall in that district. The
amount Of nitrogen as free ammonia
was high. but fluctuated greatly from
.0S2 to $50 parts per million the nitro
gen as albuminoid ammonia ranged
from .033 to .07S parts per million, and
the nitrogen as nitrites and nitrates
ranged from OPT to 800 parts per

A Cure for Hog Cholera.

Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it is
sometimes called is a highly contagious
disorder.
When a hog shows any symptoms OF
this disease, he should be isolated at
once and the pen fumigated in order TO
save the other hogs If possible.
Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with
two parts milk in a bottle and give
every sick hog tablespoonful of this
mixture night and morning for three
days. Sloan's Liniment is a powerful
antiseptic, kills the disease germs,
soothes all inflammation and acts as a
tonic to the animal.
A. j. Mccarthy of Idaville, Ind,
says: "My hogs had hog cholera three
days before we got Sloan's Liniment,
which was recommended to me by Il
neighbor who was using it with sue

the strongest glass, as rule, breaks

Comparing the strength of thin glass
with thick, the former is relatively the
stronger. This Is q thing often lost

ence between rough plate and polished
plate, we find polished plate the

This is probably to be attributed to
the fact that ali these fine surface hair
cracks are polished out These only
go into the glass to a certain depth,
and when they are all or nearly ali
polished and ground off there is less
chance for some of them to form the
basis of crack and thereby the glass
is increased in strength. Tests have
been made and some formula have been
arrived at. AS was to be expected. they
show irregular results as to strength

CcmnasrefaI Fertilizer

1t would be much better If the users
of commercial fertilizers would get into
the habit Of adapting the fertilizer 10
the soil instead of seeking a fertilizer
that Is adapted to the crop grown. The
object in using fertilizer should be the
building UP of the soil rather than
growing a certain crop, and a fertilizer
which will balance up the plant food
already in the soil Is an economical fer
tilizer to use on any crop, since the
effects of its application Will show on
any crop that is adapted to the locality.
A farmer cannot afford to buy all of
the plant food that his crop will use In
its growth. then why should he buy
anything that his soil will furnish to
the crop in sufficient quantities? True,
some crops will take. more of a certain
element Of plant food than another will.
Seine crops have the power of getting
more food from soil than others have.
It Is better 10 remedy this by adopting
tudicious rotation of crops In which
legumes Will come In frequently. The
legumes will supply the nitrogen and
help TO keep up the humus supply.
1t is unfortunate for the farmer that
the fertilizer manufacturers have
adopted the plan Of recommending GER
tain mixtures for special crops and
thus TO adapt the fertilizer to the crop
rather than to sell the goods on their
merits for the nitrogen, potash and
PHOSPHORUS acid they contain and
leave the farmer to select the goods
best adapted to his soil and conditions
