An umbrella caused panic IN the
Church of the Sacred Heart In Mont
martre, France, the other night The
beadle found the umbrella had a curl
ously large knob on the handle-and
saw that the knob unscrewed. He
opened it, then put the umbrella down
with the utmost care, and rushed out
of the church, shouting, Fire, MUIR
der, dynamite, a bomb!" The con-
gregation dispersed quickly, giving
the umbrella wide berth The police
arrived, telephoned for water cart,
put the umbrella carefully into 1t, and
took 1t to the municipal laboratory.
There is was examined. The hollow
knob on the handle contained a packet
of needles, a bobbin of red silk, and
silver bottle of holy water.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 90,-Because

asking for an expression OF opinion.
Over ninety per cent of the replies
received we're favorable to the change.
A copy of the rough draft was sent
to the attorney general for considera-
ton. Dr. Traps went to Austin in
December and went over the details OF
the draft with Mr.. James d. Walthall,
first assistant attorney general, in or
der to put the matter in proper legal
form. The matter was also discussed
with Hon. Ed R. Kone, commissioner
of agriculture, and he pronounced HIM
self as decidedly in favor of the pas
sage of such law.
Finally, a revised draft was pre-
pared containing such changes as ap'
peared desirable, and all of which
were necessary according to the rul-
ings of the attorney general, and this
copy was sent to Mr.. Walthall for his
final revision and approval. Mr.. Wal
thall placed the bill in proper form.
The proposed law requires the man
ufacturer TO print the guaranteed
analysis of the fertilizer, the net
weight and other information on the
sack or a lebal attached to 1t. The
purchaser can thus see exactly what
he is buying, and it is the main object
of the other provisions of the law to
insure that the fertilizer shall be ex-
actly as guaranteed. This provision is
similar to the provisions of laws OF
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama,
Louisiana, Arkansas, and most Of the
other states which have fertilizer
laws.
The proposed law prescribes that
fertilizers shall be registered with the
state chemist; that "low grade" must
be placed on packages of fertilizers
below a certain analysis. 1t requires
the state chemist to have fertilizers
inspected, samples subjected to analy-
sis and the results published 1t pro-
vides penalties for selling goods not
up to guarantee. 1t prohibits the use
of leather scraps. peat, or other mate
rial of little or no value. 1t defines
adulteration and misbranding, and
provides proper penalties. 1t provides
for the free analysis of suitable sam
pies taken by consumers of fertilizers.
Revenue for enforcing the law is
raised by tax Of 25 cents per ton
upon fertilizers. This is less than the
present law, which requires brand
tax of SIS and 20 cents ton addi-
tional. The income will be less under
the proposed law than under the pres
ent law, but the proposed law will
cost less to administer The quantity
Of fertilizer sold in Texas the season
of 1909-1O was $4,000 tons.

Of the Nptriline Brand of Mixed
Feed, made at Crowley, La.
This feed was recommended to
me personally by Prof. P.S. I'll
sor, chemist of Houston, as be-
ing the best feed from an analy-
teal standpoint, offered to the
public, and from his personal
experience, and the amount of
business being done wherever
this feed is introduced justified
him in saying that II would
meet every requirement. This
feed consists of ground corn, al
falfa, rice polish and small
amount of cotton seed meal,
steam cooked with black strap
molasses. This is a mixture of
standard feeds raised to higher
feed value by the addition of
molasses and steam cooking. 1t
is a perfectly balanced ration and
by Government Reports this
Stock Food is rated lat l0l as
compared with oats and the
Dairy Feed at l07. In feeding
oats rs per cent is not dieested
and Nutriline is easily dieested.
The price of Nutrilne is $3.50
per hundred. You can make
your own calculation as to econ

this new feed to you for trial
believing it will meet every re-
qui,ement. Yours truly,
