NightWatchn1an at New

of Life Fluid. to Save Other
Persons

NEW YORK. April 16--Thom-
as Kane, SO, a night Waterman,
and the father Of three husky chill
dren, is the worlds greatest blood
merchant
Physicians have tapped his veins
TO, 80 pints of rich, healthy blood,
to save the lives Of others in 50
transfusions during the past ten
years.
Eating 1S to 90 raw onions each
day, together with other vegetables

filled. He eats very little meat.
Only one of the 80 people to whom
Kane has given his blood has died.
All the others regained their
strength and health. aided by the
corpuscles from his sturdy red

Making Balanced Formula for
Cotton

E. P. D., Warrenton, Ga,
writes: What do you consider
the proper proportion of cotton
seed meal, acid and nitrate Of
soda for a cotton fertilizer, using
about 400 pounds to the acre?
What variety of cotton do you
consider the best to use under
boil weevil conditions?
A very good formula for cotton
can be prepared by mixing together
the following amounts of the mate
rails suggested in your letter. 1t
is presumed of course that these are
properly standardized goods. The
acid phosphate would be expected to
contain 16 per cent of available
phosphoric acid. the nitrate of soda
approximately 16 per cent Of nitro
gen, and the cotton seed meal SIS
to per cent of nitrogen. 1t would
also contain a little potash ano
phosphoric acid, but no enough OF
these elements to affect the compo
sition of the fertilizer to any appre
ciable degree. We suggest that you
use at least a 1884 formula. To
obtain such a formula, mix 1,2OC
pounds of acid phosphate, 2oC
pounds Of nitrate of soda. 400
pounds of cotton seed meal, and $50
pounds of muriate of potash to-
gether. We are using somewhat
more nitrogen than the amount in
dictated in our own formula here on
the college farm. You can increase
the nitrogen to approximately per
cent by replacing 100 pounds of the
cotton seed. meal with nitrate OF
soda Our opinion is somewhat di
vided as to the advisability of using
nitrate of soda as side application
If this is done, apply it to the cror
as soon as the cotton is chopped tc
a, stand From so to 100 pounds Is
about the right amount to use. II
we used per cent of nitrogen II
the original mixture, we certainly
would not use any more nitrate IN
the form of a side application.
There is no one best variety Of
cotton to grow under boil weeVi
conditions, but there is no doubt II
our mind that College No. ano
Wannamaker's Cleveland constitute
two of the very best strains to grow
on all the lands of this state which
