MANuRB roR OATS SowN IN AUGUST Can you
or any ofyour correspondents tell me what is
the best manure for oats sown in August md
September? Cotton seed is good enough, but
they cant be had at that season. and if they
could be had they would have to be crushed to
prevent coming up. How would cotton seed
meal DO, say two sacks to the acre? Would
acid phosphate be of benefit break the ground
and put the acid phosphate on after breaking
and sow the oats and harrow in 20. F. c.,
EHycGcid s. G.
iNswER.-If confined to one commercial
fertilizer for oats, we should take acid phos-
phate, if limited to two, should take hosphate
and kainit, equal parts and if not limited should
add some cotton seed meal to the last two. One
hundred pounds of each would make an ordi-
nary manuring for an acre. Plough in with the
oats. Cotton seed meal alone would probably
make n rather richer, grcencr looking field of
oats than the acid phosphate, but for equal
money value, the latter would come out ahead
at seeding tiluc.-Souihern Culhvator.

FODDER CoRN.-Pcrhaps no forage crop
Of sc much intrinsic Importance as this is so
much neglected in the South. No plant
yields so many pounds Of good fodder per
acre as different varieties Of corn.
This week or next is q suitable time to
plant corn for fodder. After ploughing
the land deeply, lay off the rows three and
n half CT four feet apart, using rather large
shovel to make deep furrow in case the
season should be dry, as that will insure
more moisture to aid the termination of the
seed. Scatter the seed by hand along the
dr'iI At ue ,ato ar nnG Sratn at io.st to tho
foot as dwartcd plants make better fodder
than ovcr3rown plants. If the plants have
room to grow large the stalks get woody
and hard, and much Of the lower parts is
rejected hy the stock. Plant the corn
thickly along the drill, and cover with the
drag, or BY throwing Il very light furrow
over them with 4 turn plow.
plow the corn rs soon as it gets few
inches high, and once or twice more during
the growth Of the crop. Ifwantcd for feed
ing green, you may begin to cut in few
weeks, or rs soon as thct corn is q foot or
eighteen inches high; and it will continue
to throw out suckers and grow till frost
kills it, if permitted to stand SO long. But
if you want it for winter forage, let it grow
till three or four feet high depending on
the variety Of corn, and then with sharp
hoes or a glass blade strike the corn down
and let it lie as it falls few days to cure.
After it is near cared. throw it up into
pretty large cocks or mows in the field. to
cure thoroughly before housing it. In this
way, if the weather is favorable. it cures
sweet and nice, and may be put in the barn

We have been painfully reminded
Of Pulaski's need in the way of an
opera house. Annie Pixley and Char
lotte Thompson have both within
the past week jumped our town be
cause our theatre did not afford the
necessary furniture and scenery.
We long boosted and have reason
yet to be proud of our Antoinette
Hall, but still it lacks in some es-
sentials of filing the requirements
of first-class tronps and as long as
that is true they will skip US. An
toinette Hall needs new scenery,
new seats, needs TO be repainted
and gas introduced. We think it
would pay DR.. Ordgay, the proprie-
tor, to have these improvements
made. He docs not live in Pulaski
and cannot see nor feel these needs
like We do. If the hall was owned
by home company it would be
better for it and us. We learn that a
Birmingham company has been ne
gotiating for it but do not know
that the lease will be made. We
hope these suggested improve
ments will be made at once.

EDITOR NEws:-Haying just re
turned from Tennessee, thought
would give you a brief outline o,
my observations at Pulaski.
| This fonrishinS city, situated i'm.
mediately on the Louisville & Nash
vile and Great Southern railroad,
50 miles south of Nashville and i:
from Decatur, the county site 81
Giles, one of the richest counties IN
the state, a great portion of it a.
good as any in the south, growing
all the cereals and grasses and pro
ducing cotton slrost equal to any.
The country is high and healthy.
Among the many characteristics are
its schools and churches. The peo.
pie are enterprising, prosperous and
as peacably inclined as any on the
globe. Tho climate is temperate
and the advantages are numerous.
Timber and water abound in the
finest quantity and quality. 1t is
famous for stock raising. In this
it is second TO none in the state, if
to any in the United States. Its
facilities for milling and manufac-
turing and almost all other INDUS
tries are unsurpassed. Its markets
are accessible and its lands produce
abundantly of sll tho products pc
culiar to its climate.
Among the noteworthy institu-
tions is Martin College, for the edu-
cation of girls, located at Pulaski,
consisting Of the late premises of
Elk Governor Jno. G. Brown, cover.
ing an area of seven acres. With
the newly erected three story brick
building fronting l26 by 1904 feet
afording ample room for a large
number of boarders, a magnificent
study hall, art, music and recitation
rooms, the grounds present bean
tiful landscape.
Passing through these grounds /
was ushered into the presence of
the principal, Prof. w. K. Jones, by
whom was introduced to his &C
complished lady and thence shown
through the buildings. The system
is thorough, and everything is neat,
pleasant and perfect. Parties hav-
ing daughters to educate would do
well to visit this college. There is
also splendid male college with
thorough and competent faculty,
besides many private schools.
The church edifices represent the
Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterians,
Episcopal and Christian denomina-
lions.
There are two prosperous hanks,
two hotels and several private
boarding houses.
The Pulaski FIGURING Mills,
owned by Messrs. Childers, May 4
Co, have three runs of hurs for |
wheat and one for corn with oil the
modern improvements, with capaci.
ty of about 20 barrels of hour per
day.
A fiourishing cotton factory, with |
90 looms, giving employment to
about IS hands, and the sash and
blind factory, are noteworthy in
dustries. The latter is owned and
operated by Messrs. Williams and
Watson.
The people are alive to the inter-
est of turnpikes and will soon have
a thorough system Of these roads in
successful operation.

say that l am not surprised that you
love your native old county.

We do not realize that we are grow
ing old until it has become an ac-
complished fact. Children grow up
around us, but we get used to that,
and seldom stop to compute their
ages and realize the swift flight OF
the years. In fact, our children
never get old 70 US. The wife who
has stood lovingly and faithfully at
our side so long, never changes, and
is always the fair young bride Of
the old and happy days. And so
with the husband--to the wife.
Though his hair has grown gray IN
some way we do not understand, and
his firm steps may seem little less
elastic or firm than it was, the hus.
band does not seem to have changed
much after all. The friends OF our
youth become gray headed; yet they
are not old.
