How To Figure the Cash Value Of
Fertilizer From the Analysis Given.
w. K. HANGER,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When we buy commercial fertilizer
we are buying food for our crops just
as we buy feeds for our livestock. Its
value per ton to us depends largely on
the kind OF materials used in its make.
mp. Fertilizers are generally spoken
of as 2-8-4 or 1-S-5 fertilizers according
to their analysis, which means in the
case w the 2-S-4 fertilizer that II con
tMgns 2 per cent Nitrogen, per cent.
Thosphoric Acid, and A per cent Pot
ash. So when we have the analysis
given, we ought to have a good idea OF
what ton or q fertilizer liz worth.
"a simple and certain rule to follow
is TO multiply the per cent. of nitrogen
by three, which in this case would be
2 times or 8. Then add to this f1g.
ure the per cent. available of Phos-
phoric Acid and that of Potash, which
would mean with a 2-8-4 fertilizer, s
plus plus or LIZ. BY placing the
dollar sign before this last figure,
giving Us SIS, you will have the ap-
proNimate cash value of 2-8-4 ferti-
hzer # the amount Of ammonia Is
given instead OF the nitrogen multiply
the per cent. of ammonia by 215 in
stead of 3.
To the value Of the fertilizer we
must add the cost OF mixing the ma
terials which l. commonly reckoned at
$6 ton and this added to SIS will
give $23 or close to what the selling

WARM WEATHER FAV0RS
SPREAD or HOG CHOLERA
Those Wishing To Protect Their Hogs
From This Disease Should Take
Precautions Now.

The season most favorable to the
spread Of Hog Cholera is now at hand
Every hog owner who wishes To pro
tect his herd against loss from this
disease, should secure serum prompt
ly and haze it administered before any
sign Of contagion becomes evident
1t should be known that hog cholera
serum IL not cure, but a prevGnta-
tive, and as such should be admins
tered before an outbreak is likely to
occur.
The cholera was SO prevalent last
year that the demand fo- the serum
was greater than either the State
Laboratory or the commercial labora-
tories throughout the country could
supply and their output In some cases
was bought Up and contracted for
months 10 advance. Many hog raisers
I'm Maryland awaited themselves OF the
serum manufactured at the Expert
mont Station, and number of re-
ports have been returned from time
TO time indicating satisfaction, par
ticularly where the serum was used
before the diseases had actually APP
peared in the herds
The tested serum supplied by the
Experiment Station should be used at
the rate of 35 &C. per 100 pounds of
live weight, the cost price being 2
cents per &C. or 20 cents for a 100
pound hog. The serum must be admin
lstered by or under the direction of
O. licensed veterinarian or doctor of
medicine. II you have any idea Of pro
tecting your hogs against cholera, have
them attended to promptly. DO not

saving those still unexposed to the
disease. Write now to the Experiment

This insures a purer milk to the con

by appeal to Governor Ammons to
take charge OF the next case himself
and stay with II until the question Ia
settled. Either he has a right to ar
rest and hold men or he has not that
right. Certainly he has no right to
arrest and hold men until they spend
lot OF money getting their cases to
a certain point in the courts. and
then release that set OF men and ar
rest another set. thus never allowing
n single case to be decided on its
merits. Governor Ammons can not
afford to allow his administration to
