ABOUT FERTILIZERS.
SoW Hisats to Farmers Who Are Com
pIei to Use the Coneantrated FertiUsers
A western correspondent writes:
"Will you please tell us about the mak
tg of concentrated fertilizers at home?
u(an we make fertilizers out of mate
ias we can get from the drug stores?"
If our friend depends on the drug
tores for the materials to make his
sertilizers, he had better buy them al
Weady mixed. Drug stores do not han
dle these things in sufficient quantity
toenable you to buy in large quantities
at reasonable prices, and you do not
want them in the concentrated form
that some of these matters are sold in
the drug stores. There is no doubt
but that farmers canesave a great
deal of money in the purchase of
fertilisers by buying the materials
~Abhe market and mixing them in the
portion that they may desire for
ions crops. The fertilizer mann
facturers will tell you that, with their
improved machinery, they can mix the
fertilizers more cheaply than you can.
but they do not give you the advan
tage of their cheap mixing. They will
charge you more for the mixing than
you can mix them for yourself. It has
been found that the elements of plant
food most generally lacking in soils
that have long been cultivated in farm
crops are nitrogen, phosphorus and
potash. While there are other things
essential to plant growth, it is found
that all of our cultivated soils have
enough of these things for all purposes
of plant food. Lime, for instance,
Is essential to the growth of
plants, but almost any arable soil con
tains plenty of lime for all the purpo
eas of plant food direct, and yet we
Sad that it is useful at times to add
some fresh lime to act as a reagent,
that is, to make some other things like
the nitrogen available for plant food,
and for improving the mechanical con
dition of our soil. But while time is a
useful thing in a soil that is properly
cultivated in a rotation with peas and
clover, and has a store of vegetable
enatter in it for the lime to act upon,
lime is not a fertilizer in the sense that
It can be used on a dead poor soil to
encourage the growth of plants. The
true fertilizing agents needed are
combinations in which nitro
gen, phosphorus ; and potash are
found in a shape in which plants
ean make use of them. If you have
read the former articles in this series
you will notice that for the general
farm crops I have not recommended
the use of nitrogen. This is because
we can by means of growing cow peas
and clover get our nitrogen from the
air in sufficient amount for most farm
crops. Until we have stored in or soil
eonsiderable amounts of decayed vege
table matter by the use of these crops
it may pay to use some nitrogen. But
we should as rapidly as possible get
our soil into condition to save
this expense, for the nitrogen in
a fertilizer is by far the most I
expensive part of it, costing three 1
times what the potash costa. We
can get nitrogen by the use of I
cotton-seed meal, in which it is found, I
In the form of ammonia to the extent
of about seven per cent. We can also
get it in the dried blood from the large 1
slaughterhouses. from the dried scrap I
from the fish oil works, and in theform I
of nitrate of soda, which has 1 per I
cent. of nitrogen. This lhatform gives
es the nitrogen in the most readily
available form for the use of plants.
But it is well to have in our fertilizer
at the same time some of the organic
ammonia like that in cotton-seed meal,
as it lasts longer in the soil. The best
form in which we can get the phos- 1
-phorous is in the shape of
dissolved phosphatic rock, known
acid phosphate, in which
the phosphorus is found as phosphoric
aid. This is made in large quantities
in South Carolina and elsewhere. The
best form in which we get potash is in
the various salts of potash that are Im
ported from Germany. It is best toget
these in the conoentrated form of
amrriate and sulphate of potash, rather
than freight a lot of heavy salt that is
of no use in the crude article. All
these fertilizer ingredients you caa get
by the ton from dealers in fertilizers

the distance inland for the acid phos

board or imported from abroad. By
purchasing these ingredientsseparately
and mixing them at horne, you can
make a ton of fertilizer, containing
the three elements in due proportion
as desired for various crops, for from
five dollars to ten dollars less per ton
than the manufacturers will sell it to
you, and you will know just what

THE BREEDING BOAR.
A lentcLky Breeder Tells Hew to Care
for : hem.
[Extract from paper read by Arthur Harbi
son. Shelbyvrlle. Ky.. at the meeting of the
Kentucky Swine Breeders' association.1
"This is a very important matter in
the breeding of swine, for we should
remember that pr,,operly caring for the
breeding boar is laying the founda
tion of success inI the coming pig
crop. and we may nIt1. look for success
with the pig Iunlula tihe boar has the
right treatment. If thle pigs are far
rowed weak and lditsaasn , no amount
of care and fe.tl ill brIrllng them out
and make strung, Ioeiltv hogs of them.
In the first Ilac', tIh hlar should be
pretty well dleveil,i3,41 lht should he

him to serve a,,e, astnd then the
first few servld,'o shuhlI he several
days apart. 'I', ntl Iulontly of strong
pigs the breeHing har sho uld lhe kept
in gosi. heallthy ctdlitiotn, not too fat
to make him alsaggsla, ,nor yet too poor
to injure his couitutin,. lie should
be kept in a lot auselrnte fro,, the nsows,
a grass lot contltainig from half an
acre to an acre is prefrablle, where he
can get plenty of exercis,. and in sum
mner time plenty of lshade and pure wa
ter.
Feed good, healthy food, not too
much corn; ground oats and ground
wheat make a splendid food. Most
breeders are very apt to make
the mistake of feeding too
much corn, simply from the fact
that it is more convenient
to thr-ow a few ears of corn to the boar
than it is to prepare a ration of more
muscle-forming substances. Corn is
very good in its place, but when fed
alone to breeding swine it is likely to
work a detriment. A little oil meal
and some roots, also buttermilk, is
very good to keep the boar in a vigor
ous condition. Don't let the boar get
too poor, it is a very great mistake to
let him get as poor as "Job's turkey."
Again the service of the boar is a
very important thing, and here is
where a good many mistakes are
made. Some will turn the boar
in with the sow, or perhaps
several sows, and let them
run with him all through their period
of heat. The boar will more than
likely serve a sow six or eight times
during her heat, and this is very in
jurious to him. This method will soon
run him down, and when run down his
pigs, when farrowed, will show the
effect of it. Only permit the boar to
serve a sow once, unless the first serv
ice is very unsatisfactory, and imme
diately after service separate themand
he will soon learn to get quiet.
The boars should have a lot separate
from the sows. If possible, have a va
cant lot or pen between, so that when
his services are required the sow ean
be turned into this vacant lot and
they can consort for awhile through
the fence. This is a good plan, as
scmetimes young sows become badly
frightened being thrust right in the
yard with a strange boar, even when
they are in good heat. When they
have become acquainted, which may
be inside of five minutes or it may take
half an hour, or more, the gate can be
thrown open to allow them to come to
gether.
Breeders that use large boars should
have a breeding box (and most any
brebaer 'has iogaauity enough to con
struct one out of common fencing
plak) sav in this way the weight of
the boar may be kept off the sow.

The inventor has also provided a con
struction by which one of the rollers
carrying the band is adjustable, and
may be moved outwardly, if desired,
to increase the tension on the band.

BICYCLE IN THE ARMY.
It May Soon Supplant the Horse of the
Cavalry Courier.
The bicycle is to supplant the horse
m certain branches of army service.
Gen. Miles has always been its advo
cate, ?nd sinse he has assumed com
mand of the army he has been planning
for its more general use. He is said
to hate completed a book on bicycle
tactics, and to be preparing a special
report to the secretary of war, urging
that the army be supplied with a num
l.er of wheels and that they be dis
tributed at the larger posts, where they
might be used for the transportation
cf orlers, doing away with the pres
ent system of cavalry courriers.
Gen. Miles is not alone in this effort.
Brig. Gen. A. W. Greely, chief signal
officer of the army, urges the adoption
of the bicycles. In all there are over
100 bicycles now in use in the signal
corps, located at the most isolated sta

the signal corps.
Secretary Lamont is said to favor the

UtIisinsg reat in Boilers.
The idea of having the gases leave

that it nay be more effectively used

WHERE IT PINCHES.
The Muscles of the Body Most Affected ta
Using the Bicycle.
Fatigue at the wrists may be re
lieved by changing the grip, so as to
catch the handles with the palm up;
also by raising or olre.ri;ng the shoul
'ders, so as to change the angles at
which the wrist is ',ent. This, as well
as changing the grip, will relieve pain
on the outer side of the arm. Some
limes pain is felt at the elbow joint,
ispecially when the arm is bent at
the joint and the road is rough. This
-, relieved by sitting up straighter and
thus straightening the arm. Fatigue
of the pectoralis major (chest mus
cle) is almost always due to bending
the back over, thus keeping the pec
toralis major in a permanently con
tr-acted condition. Straighten the back
and the fatigue wil disappear. Pain
;n th- back from riding is due to jolt
ihlg, and, generally, to leaning over.
Fatigue of or pain 1 the rectus femoris
is due to the double work that mus
cle has to perform in c3cling. It not
only strengthens the leg when the foot
goes down, but pulls the knee up in
the next movemen'. No other muscle
dloes so much work on the wheel. It
is the great "push" muscle in cycling.
F'atigue in the tihialis anticus is re
lieved by ch .nging the gearing of the
wvheel so an to work the ankle as little
as possible. It is the same fatigue
felt in fast walking for a considerable
time. Fatigue at the ankle joint is
relieved by changing the gearing. The
muscles are not drawn exactly trui
to nature, but so as to show them best.

NEW PNEUMATIC TIRE.
A Valuable Invention Patented by a New
York Man.
A tire having a metallic tread secured
to the tubular inflated rim, obviating
the liability to puncturing the tire or
other injury when the wheel passes
over sharp objects in the road, is repre
sented in the accompanying illustra
tion. The tubular rim is secured in
the usual manner to the felly, and the
metallic tread, consisting preferably of
a continuous strip of mild steel, is at
tached to the outer part of the rim by
rivets, as shown in Fig. 1, the outer
sides of the tread being engaged by the
sides of bands fastened in place by
clamping strips. The bands extend

around the sides of the rim, and are con
nected by the usual lacing with the
inner ends of the rim, the lacing also
attaching the inner ends of the rim to
each other. Fig. 2 is a side sectional
view of the improvement. The rim, as
will be seen, is protected by the side
bands, as well as by the continuous
metallic strip forming the trcad.

Pneumatle Tires Are Popular.
The use of pneumatic tires on all
kinds of vehicles,, in additicn to bicy
cles, seems to have been a prediction
that was well founded. They are al
leady being used extensively in all the
larger cities on the wheels of various
kinds of carriages, and the increasing
demand proves the efficiency they give
and the satisfaction they are giving. It
is hard to reckon the difference be
tween riding-for instance in a broug
ham-with and without rubber-tired
wheels. The comfort of the tires is be
yond the most sanguine expectations
of the inexperienced. The smoothness
is particularly noticeable in these
heavier carriages where all the scrap
ing and crunching of the wheels is done
away with, and the gliding noiseless
ness adds tenfold pleasure to driving.
New Puncture-Proof Tire.
A tire stuck full of knives, tacks, etc.,
has been on exhibition in a Broadway
store window, New York, for some
time. This tire contains a layer of cork
between the tubes. A cross section of
the tire shows the cork to be crescent
shape and one-third of an inch thick
in the widest part. It is in.,losed be
tween two tubes of rubber, each of
which is a seamless tube. The cork
lining lies within the running surface
of the tires, and if the outer tube is out
or torn, the inner air tube, being pro
tected by the cork, remains good. It
is said the practically puncture-proof
quality does not seem to interfere with
the resiliency of the wire.
The Stomach. Not the Heart.
Nothing is more common than for
persons to imagine that they have
heart diseqse, and they often make
themselves dreadfully uncomfortable
in consequence. In the overwhelming
majority of cases, more particularly in
young, nervous, fanciful people, the
heart is as sound as a bell, but the
stomach is out of order.
Bicycle Styles for 1896.
There are no very marked improve

exception of larger tubing and barrel

hub, the barrel hub looks clumsy, but
it allows the use of large balls in the
bearing, and thereby decreases frio.

TROLLEY CARS AND PILLS.
From the Evening News. Newark. N. J.
Mrs. Anna Burns, of 338 Plane Street,
Newark, N. J., is a decidedly pretty bru
nette, twenty-six years old, tall, and a pleas
ing conversationalist. On the ground floor
of her residence sheconducts a well-ordered
candy store. When our reporter visited her
store she, in response to a question, told him
a very interesting story.
"Until about two months ago," shebegan,
"I enjoyed the very best of health and could
work night and day if necessary. Suddenly,
and without any apparent cause, I began to
suffer from intense pains in my head, in my
limbs and temples. Almost distracted with
this seemingly never ending pain I tried
cure after cure, prescription after prescrip
tion and almost a gallon of medicine of all
kinds. Nothing did me any good. In fact
I became worse. The knuckles of my hands
soon became cramped and the pain in my
hips became more and more distressing each
day. Business in the store had to be attend
ed to, however, andso I was obliged, suffer
ing as I was, to keep more or less on my
feet, and occasionally I was forced to go
out. This was the ordeal I dreaded. Each
time I went out I trembled when I came
near the car tracks, for my pain at times
was so severe that I was obliged to stand
perfectly still, no matter where I was. On
one occasion I was seized in this way while
I was crossing the tracks on Market Street,
and there I stood perfectly rigid, unable to
move hand or foot while a trolley car came
thundering along. Fortunately it was
stopped before it struck me, but the dread
of it all lasted as long as my pain, for I nev
er knew when crossing the tracks whether
I would not drop to the ground in my agony
and be crushed to death. My anxiety to get
well grew apace, and I had about given up
in despair when I saw in the Evening News
one day an advertisement of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Here was something I hadn't
tried before, and I lost no time in getting to
the nearest drug store. There I paid fifty
cents fora box of these truly wonderful,
health-restoring pills. Before I had finished
taking half of the pills I began to feel re
lieved; the pains in my hips gradually dis
appeared, and for the first time in man1
days I felt as if there was some hope.
continued to take the pills, and the more I
took the better I felt. 1 finished one box,
got another, and now, having taken only a
few of the second fifty cents' worth, I am
free from all pain and as happy as the day
islong. Since I began to takeDr. Williamns
Pink Pills I have gained thirty pounds, and
now when I cross the car tracks I don't car
if there is a doses vehicles near by. It is a
great relief, I assure you, and suffering hu
manity has a never-failing friend in Dr.
Willams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I
know what I am talking about I speak
from experience."
