No remedy yet discovered can
show results equal to Dr. Miles'

How Fcrllllers Are Made.
The Southern Chem'cal Co., of
Winston, N C . Ima just erected an
up to-date plant at an expense of
between Ts.diiil and (tn'ii(i. Tim
presiilent of this c. mpimy is II. P.
Puttie, who for It n years was Statu
rdieniisl and director of the North
Carolina agricultural experiment
station. In the ten years, he h is
served tho State of North Cnrolina
ho has done much to bring the far
liter of tho State to a higher and
more proli'shle plane of work. He
conducted his experiments on a
scalo never before attempted, and
the experimental farm at Southern
Pines has been an object let-son to
thousands
Tho location of the plant is an
excellent one. being at tho inteisec
tionof the Norfolk A- Western and
Southern ItailwHta, with ride tracks
from both rmids and a cioss track
connecting both, so that a car cm
he transferred from one road to llie
other.
One of tho interesting buildings
of the works is the electric-power
transforming In use, where the cur
rent is taken from the main line at
1(1,000 volis and reduced to tied.
The power ib furnished by the Plies
Power Co., and is generated by the
Vsdkin liv er at a distance of fifteen
miles. 1 ho tranMorming house is
eiinpped with all the latest improve
ments in liL'blninit arr htr'is, etc.
Prom a Ioo imki gallon water res
ervoir, which is built of brick and
cement, with a very heavy wall,
large water mains radiate, entirely
surrounding both buildings ol the
plant, and from which mains ten
two wiy hydrants arc supplied at
lilleretit points on llie grounds,
ei en covering some important posi
tion. These hydran's are each en
closed by a riii ul I house, and to each
is attach d loo (Vet of Imsc ready
for instant use in ease of lire. Steam
is always kept ready to furnish pow
er for the 7 T ' ' gallon pump, and in
a few nnnu'is the emire surface of
tho building could be fl odid, aa
pressure on the water main is con
stantly maintained.
The limit) building covers a little
over an acre of ground, and is light
ed from the roof nm! sides. In the
bflgroom bag for fertilizers are
stored, each properly printed for its
especial brand and stored in com
partments, each hi and by itself, and
these different grades cover fertili
z.ers for tobacco, cotton and all grain
crops, tho principal brands being
"Pilot Ctmno," special for tobacco,
and "Kleelric," alo for tolncco,
For cotton arc the 'E!cc!rie Cr..p
(irowcr,"-"Yadkin Complete Fer
tilizer," etc. For grain and tra-si p
it makes "Winston" and "(Quick
step bono and potash compounds,
"Winner and "keapor grain ap
plications, as well as " ictor dis
solved bone, "Comet," "Tarheel"
and "Horseshoe"' acid phosphates.
In another room is the So horse
power electric motor, which fur
nishes power for the mill, the ci ush
ers, mixers, etc., and to this is at
(ached an electric meter to measure
the power used.
llie rock cnishci is a powerful
machine, which masticates the phos
phate rock much as a sma'l boy
would a cracker or cookie, and after
it has pafsed through this crusher it
ts carried by an elevator to the mill,
which pulverizes it sufficiently for
the mixer. An elevator takes the
pulverized rock from tho mill on
the first floor to a bin on the foiiith,
wliore it is deposited ready for mix
ing. On tho fourth flour is a .'!o
ton sulphuric acid tank, from which
the acid is drawn into a sin ,11
measuring tank near the mixer; at
the same, lime the pulverized phos
phate rock is taken from the bin
containing it to a weighing bin,
where the proper amount for any
given brand is weighed and dump
ed into the tiTTxer and the acid turn
ed over it and the mixing pan is
started. This pan revolvis in one
direction, while a double plow takes
a course opposite to it, and thus the
ingredients are ijuiekly and thor
oughly amalgamated, at the same
time inciting with a blast of air
from a 'aft, which removes the gas,
and thus the article known as "acid
phosphate" is produced. This is
then dumped in!o a car holding a
ton, which traverses the third floor
through the center of the building.
There being no tbior between the
rails under the car the material can
be dumped st iny point desired to
tho lirst floor, where another mixer
and tho bagging machine are loca
ted. The acid phosphate, after lo
ing manufactured, retinitis for
weeks or months, as the case may
bo, then it is taken to the mix-r,
which is operated by another ;o.
horse-power motor in connection
with the bagging machine, and bete
it is incorporated with the o'her ma
terial necessary to form a complete
fertilizer. It is then passed through
a weighing machine into propurly
labeled bigs, after whirl: it is ready
for shipment.
Thojfiiiiiufacfure of acid requires
corpfant work, day and night. The
iirea must never go out ; the work
iniii-t le continuous, or toe vahnihlo
jfasos will t-tcnie and bo bt. The
iron pyri'es frotp which it is mide
are unhaded at .he door of the fur
nace roHii and fed into hoppers,
Irom whith it passes into furnaces,
ot which there are ft-ur, each lading
lined inside with firebrick and con
taining tivc circular thel vet. lo tho
center ia a rt rolving shaft having
projecting inns at each shelf, which
arms, being in slow motion, keep

der the chambers, where the arid is
collected in vats and from which if

and bus never ridden on a railroad
(rain, I lo lh ti I; s nothing of gel ting
'is far West as the cattle ranges of
Kansas with his horso arid buggy,
buying tip stuck on the way out and

"I don't know that 1 have any

''that would induct! me not to travel

than walking. When I drove cattle

Competition is too eh arp. Ihesred

New York j that ho had not been
able to raise Hilliciont money to
moot ox ponses, and that ho Inn been
"disillusionized."
The trouble v.j'h Mr. Pimm is
that he had contracted tho reform
habit, and departed Irom the old
(ime preaching which he did not ap
prove, lie thought that preachers
ought (o discuss all sorts of secular
(pics'ions fnun llioir pulpits, and
toll people how to vote. Accord
ingly lie preached about all (ho 'pica
tiotia of (he day, from a bicycle race
at Madison Sonaro i anion to a
gubt rnaforial election. Whatever
the newspapers bilked about Mr.
Pixon preached about ill his Peo
ple's church, and his hearers got all
Iho news of tho week from Mr.
Pixon'a pulpit, seYved up in the
most attractive stylo and piine.nitted
with sensational invective. Mr.
Pixon is a man of learn tig, and a
gifted orator. lie is also a man of
great magnetism, and those who
hear him aro usually lascinated w ith
his sti lo. Vet his "reform'' preach
ing didn't succeed with the public,
and Mr. Pixon is "disillusionized,"
which, being interpreted, mean
that ho. has failed.
Mr. Pixon has a brother who is
no orator, asThoinas is, but a dev ut
man, and a fervent preacher, who
has stin k to the old time reiigioti
and the old lime style of preaching
the gospel, pure and simple, without
the flavor of scctilarity and sensa
tionalism. lie has sometimes gone
into the streets and preached on the
comer to such a crowd as he could
assemble, but he has always preaeh
e I, in church an l out of church, the
igioti of the Pil.le. His lot, too,
was cast 111 New Voik, and his
ministry has boon eminently suc-
cesslnl. iho last time we hoard
from him he was still walking in the.
good old way, teaching lepeiitanco
and salvation, and if he is "disillu
sionized," he has not made the fact
public. Tho old way is good enough
foi him.

The younger man, the taihur, was

"Phil, bow do yon manage your

in me they bring ou(. Their little
mother is a wonderful woman and
worth a regiment of ollicers, John.
I often think what pitfalls are in
waiting for my small, brav e soldiers
all through life. I wish I could al
ways help (hem over."
"Phil, if yuii could choose for
your little son from all the tempta
tions which will beset him the 'iie
most to be feared, what would it be ;"
General Sheridan leaned his head
against the doorway and Slid sober
