While pure sulphur is as inert as

Monoxide Of sulphur is sulphur and OK.
ygen ,one atom each; dioxide is sui
phur one. oxygen two; and in sulphur
ic acid we find sulphur combined with
four parts Of oxygen and two Of by
drogen. This is a compound made BY
man and is not found in nature. Mod
ern manufacturing processes could moi
go on without it; but it is its combina-
ton as a gas that it figures most in
agriculture. When sulphur is burned
in the open air, or in a chamber or ov-
en-, the resulting combination is sui
phurous acid gas. This is a pungent
gas, penetrating and diffusive, and is
the best fungicide. germicide. bleach
er, and parasite killer there is. This
gas is absorbed BY water in large guam

forms an equeohs solution that is a
powerful fungacide, germacide, bleach

ltu.ts, eggs, and kill blight in the soil.
But, while it is all Of this. if not used
too abundantly and powerfully, it's the
best encourager Of the growth of bene-
fetal bacteria, and especially the bac-

SULPHUR I'M AGRICULTURE
By Geo. D. Coleman

Raw sulphur, Or birthstone. sulphur
uncombined chemically, is as inert il
the soil as 50 much broken glass, bui
in its chemical compounds it is very
active and is really necessary for fer.
tility. You will say that in soil anal.
ysis these is no mention made Of sui.
phur, but that is not the fault Of sui
phur; it is that the analyzers do not re-
cognize its value, and the usual meth.
DDS Of analysis take no account Of il
and handle the analysis in way to
drive off the sulphur. This is due to
the ignorance Of the scientific big
wigs Of the facts. All protean com
binations either in plants or animals,
contain small but appreciate amount
of sulphur. Sulphur is found in hair
and feathers, in the liver of animals
and man, and in alfalfa. clover and all
] Of the nitrogen plants, and even in
other plants, and it is not there as an
impurity, for nature makes no mistakes
1t is man, in his assumed superior
wisdom. that credits nature with max
ing mistakes and blunders. When men
understand that there is intelligence,
differing from his. in all of natures
processes. he will cease to assume that
he known it all, and accept the humil-
ity of the agnostic.
Sulphur is to be found, if searched
for. in all fertile soils. Alfalfa, cIo-
yer, and legumes will not grow where
sulphur is absolutely absent, and a
soil absolutely devoid of all or any of
the very many combinations of sui
phur is sterile soil, and if nothing is
j added that contains sulphur in some
form, it will remain sterile. 1t is also
because of its homeopathic quantity
that it is ignored.
It is now So years since my attention
was first drawn to sulphur as a neces-
sary element Of fertility. In 1869,
when in Messina, Italy, visited the
fertile slopes of Mount Etna and was
surprised at the high average of natural
fertility Of thes oils. and attributed it
to the volcanic ash which was in the
soil. spoke to an intelligent Italian
about it and he replied, YES the vol
canic ash has much to do with it there
is no doubt, but it is that all this soil
has some form OF combination Of sui
phur in it. Later, when visited the
vineyards on the slopes Of Vesuvius and
saw the fine grapes and other things
grown there, remembered what the
Apld Italian had told me in Sicily and
commenced to study the subject, and
my observations and studies led me to

The saturated aqueous solution Of
sulphurous acid gas is most useful on
the farm. 1t will alIay the smarting
and itching and swelling of poison oak
or Rus Toxicodendron, and cloth wet
in it and applied to burn or a scald
will hasten the healing as it destroys
all germs and is cooling, healing APP

scaly leg in chickens and an ounce Of
it 10 the quart in the poultry water
fountains will hasten moulting and aid
young chicks in feathering. When
stock get diarfhea, this aqueous solu-
ton will generally check and cure it,
when mixed in their drinking water.
The same with diarrhea in chickens.
Sprayed upon the perches and poured
into the cracks where the red mites
hide, it will kill them, as well as bed
bugs and other vermin. Few bugs or
plant pests can stand the test of being
sprayed by it. AT the same time il is
good for the plants. Where cut worms
bother. the ground around the plants
should be sprayed with it: if it reaches
the worms it is very discouraging to
them-and besides it is a great aid
to the plants. Poured over crock of
tomatoes. peaches, plums, or other
fruit, they will be preserved in perfect
condition for months; only when used
the fruit must be cooked, as the heat
drives off the gas and leaves neither
taste nor smell Of it. 1t will preserve
eggs and when they are used they will
be, found in quite as good condition as
many of the other methods leave them.
In fact. if eggs are fresh when put in
the solution, it will leave them in bet
ter condition; for the solution kills the
germ or tread" and that is the thing
that causes the trouble. There are hun
dreds of uses the solution can be used
for, if we remember that it is a fungi
eide, germicide and disinfectant. 1t is
perfectly harmless. There is much
more to be told about the use of sui
