This effort it has made in the open,
and in this it will persevere, notwith-
standing the discouragements put in
it's way by this latest attempt to dis
tort it's motives and to attribute ma
lign purposes to legitimate and praise
worthy undertakings.
For every dollar that it has ex-
pended in advancing that praiseworthy
object it is safe to say that thousands
of dollars have been expenses by our
enemies in substituting the sources Of
information by means of garbled and
censored reports and by the many
subterranean channels that are open
to them, through their control of the
news, their vast expenditures and the
far reaching financial interests that
are behind them.
at is because we are frankly So
licitous for the good opinion of your
people and resentful of these baseless
attacks upon our integrity and the use
we have made of American hospitality
that l have taken the liberty Of tres
passing to this extent upon public at

newspaper propaganda:
Existence Publicly Announced
at is not true that an effort has at
any time been secretly made to 1nf1u-
ence America public opinion. The
existence of the German Information
Service was publicly announced to all
the leading newspapers of the coun-
try upon it's inauguration in October
last and has been we'll known to the
public ever since. 1t was founded for
the purpose, then stated, of coun-
teracting the partisan news service
that up to that time had been coming
via England, in which the happenings
of the war and the conditions in Euro
pean countries were being grossly mis-
represented to the injury OF Germany.
The embassy, which has a natural
and legitimate interest that reliable
information regarding Germany should
be made available to the press of this
country, has always openly assisted
that service by giving it access to au-
thentic news items and official reports.
Germany is and has been avowedIy
and anXiously seeking and will con-
tinue to seek for it's cause the moral
support of America and of the other

Co. operating for Better Milk

will be picked up directly in refrig-
orator cars and railroad collecting
centers will be established where
milk shipped for a short run on
branch lines will be collected and put
at once into refrigerator cars bound
for Pittsburg.
Better Supply Assured.
The results of this service will, in
the opinion of the Federal experts,
undoubtedly give the people of Pitts
burg a better milk supply than they
have had heretofore. The experts,
however, regard as of greater moment
to the people of the United States the
discovery that such a matter can be
handled comparatively between the
railroads and the shippers where an
impartial and accepted referee can ar
range the conferences.
1t was also interesting to note that
the somewhat hostile attitude be-
tween the railroad men and the milk
shippers, as the conference pro-
gressed, finally gave way to cordial
friendliness and confidence, and a
realization of the existence of COM
mon interest. 1t is believed that this
agreement will point the way to the
settlement Of many difficulties in the
handling of perishable products,
through ference rather than
through resort to legal process.
To carry on the service the railroad
companies and milk dealers are build
ing large ice houses in the dairy sec
tions for the purpose of storing ice
for the coming Winter, to take care
Of the refrigeration during the next
season.
The smaller dealers are at the pres
ent time able to have their milk re-
main in the refrigerator cars until
time to deliver in the city, while here
tofore 1t was necessary for them tc
meet the milk trains upon their ar.
rival at Pittsburg during the night
from 10 P. M. to 2 A. NJ, and, In
order to hold the milk, remove same
to their dairies and refrigerate 1t
The refrigerator cars save such re-
handling Of the milk and then make
possible further reduction in the
cost of refrigeration in Pittsburg
said to be in excess of the added
rates.

But take our rest for reasons best
Vacation spend at home
But what the odds, when, oh. ye gods!
With joys the time we fill
OF home kind and pleasure find
In shady Hammockville?
Though we may miss the oceans kiss
In briny waves embrace,
Or have no share in mountain air
For nerves and brain to brace.
Or lose delights in foreign sights,
There yet is left us still
A shady nook, favorite book
Out there in Hammockville.
No anxious hours to pass are ours
In preparations work;
No clothes to get, no plans to fret,
No vain regrets to lurk;
But time to seize in drowsy ease,
Expenses only nil,

Ophthalmic Mallein for
Diagnosis of Chambers
r HE Department of Agriculture, in

THE Department of Agriculture, in
professional bulletin No. 1865.
recommends the use of ophthalmic
mallein for the diagnosis of glanders.
This test, 1t is held, is more accurate,
easier of application and gives re-
suits more quickly than the other
methods. At the same time, the use
of this test does not interfere in
doubtful cases with subsequent serum
or subcutaneous mallein tests
In considering the good results OBJ
tanned and the advantages of this
method of testing, a concentrated
mallein has been prepared for this
purpose by the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, and this was made available
to number Of practicing veterin-
arians who desired to give this meth
cd of testing thorough trial. 1t
has also been employed by inspectors
of the Bureau of Animal Industry in
their field work, and reports are ac-
cessible regarding its action for dag
nostic purposes on more than $4,000
cases.
The results from all sources were
uniformly satisfactory. Practicing
veterinarians who have given this
method a trial have reported very
favorably on the results, and the tests
conducted by the bureau inspectors
on several thousand animals were
also satisfactory. The method has
been applied here in Washington
whenever possible, and recently In
some immunizing tests of glanders
conducted by the Bureau of Anima
Industry there was a good opportun
ity to repeatedly employ this test
In all these instances the results were
uniformly good. In cases of glanders
there appeared marked purulen
conjunctivitis, and the reaction a
times was so severe that the anima
could not open its tested eye
The success Of the test, the De
partment's specialists find, depends
upon the degree of concentration o
the mallein. The bulletin gives full
details as to the preparation of con
centrated mallein, its application ant
the effect of the ophthalmic test il
|, healthy and glandered animals. Tn,
bulletin is technical and is designed
primarily for veterinarians and stat
livestock sanitary authorities.

But the stairs are long and steep,
And the man who would climb
To the top, in his time,
Before he dare walk, must creep.
Of carpets there're none In the House

But the floors are hard and bare.
And you're likely to trip

u. S. Controls Sources
of Fertilizer Elements

ScrlbeS the use of three chemical
elements as a "soil amendment"
"stimulant for plant growth" or
plant food," as it is variously put.
These three elements when applied
to the soil in which crop is growing
have been found by practice to afford
an increased crop yield. They are
PHOSPHORUS, potassium, and nitro
gen, spoken of by the respective trade
terms of phosphoric acid, potash and
"ammoniates.
In the commercial fertilizers phos-
phoric acid is found in the form of
calcium phosphate, which is bone
phosphate or rock phosphate, usually
treated with sulphuric acid to render
it soluble. Potash is found as salt
or salts of potassium, either sulphate
or chloride, and the "ammoniates, !"
as the inorganic salt of ammonia, am
monium sulphate, the inorganic salts
of nitric acid, sodium nitrate, and in
organic compounds Of nitrogen, cal
cium cyanamid, or the organic COM
pounds of nitrogen, contained in ami
NAL or vegetable refuse matter, cot
tonseed meal, abattoir tankage or fish
scrap.
The usual commercial fertilizers
contain these three elements and have
the designation of complete fertiliz-
ers." These are sold under various
brand names, the various brands fire.
quently being recommended for par
ticular crops. The proportion of the
three essential ingredients is varied;
as usual thing that of the phos-
phoric acid is considerably higher
than the other two, which are pres
ent in about the same proportion.
The Nations supply of these three
common ingredients Of fertilizer may
be summarized as follows: OF phos
phoric acid there is an abundant sup
ply in the large deposits of phosphate
rock in Florida and Tennessee, and
the enormous deposits of Idaho, Mon
tana and Wyoming.
OF potash, now obtained exclusively
from the German mines, there is lit
tie known in this country outside o.
the desiccated residues in Searle'
Lake, CAL, and the giant kelps o.
the Pacific littoral. In the lattel
there is much more than enough tt
supply the present demands Of thu
fertilizer trade of the United States
the present annual consumption o
potash being about 1,250,000 tons, o
varied composition At present tn
kelps are not supplying any of this
since it has not been determined b.
actual experimentation on CONNER
cial scale that they can be used eco
nomically as a source of potash. Esti
mates based on costs Of similar OF
erations indicate that they can be s
used.
Of "ammoniates" there is a larg
source in the ammonia produced a
a by-product in the distillation G
coal for the production of gas o
coke, or both. This source Is bu
partially developed, as by the meth
ods most commonly practiced in thl
country this possible by-product
not recovered. The amount OF an
monia now going to waste is almos
large enough to supply all OF tn
"ammoniates" now demanded by tn
fertilizer trade. The abattoirs suppl
large amount of tankage and drle
blood of high fertilizer value; but
these possible by-products there

of organization and cooperation !
