Use of Cotton Seed NIeaI.

Some farmers seem to think that seed
meal is better when used alone on corn or
cotton than when mixed with acid phos-
phate and kainit. This is mistake, as
both Of these fertilizers add to the value
of the compound. Cotton seed meal con-
tains nearly per cent. of ammonia, only
25s of phosphoric acid and 215 of potash,
and therefore when acid phosphate, which
contains about 1877 per cent. of phosphoric
acid, and kainit, which has over Is per
cent. of potash, are added, a powerful
manuring will be formed. The most eco
nomical and effective proportions are
1000 pounds of cotton seed cake, 500
pounds acid phosphate and $50 pounds
kainit, which compound VIII contain
about per cent. of phosphoric acid, am
monia and potash, and will cost at the
rate of about $21 to $23 per ton. 1t must
be borne:in mind that the three chemical
elements mentioned are those that are
especially valuable to crops and must be
essentially present in all nearly perfect
manures. And no guano that is sold at
double the price mentioned can approach
this compound in effective value for cot
ton. 1t is simply according to common
sense mixing together in proper proper
tiOns the ingredients that contain the eles
ments that crops need; 250 pounds Of this
mixture per acre will be more effective
than the same quantity Of guano, costing
twice as much money, and will reduce
the tendency to rust, which guanO often
increases.-H0Dse and Farm.

BITS OF SCIENCE.

A carpenter makes plea through the
Scientific american for pointed nails. He
says: "Can you do or say anything to the
nail-makers to induce them to put a point
on the nails, something like wire nails,
but perhaps not quite so peaked or sharp,
nor to full point. This is, of course,
more applicable to a finishing nail, but it
would be of very much benefit for the or
binary nail; they can be stuck in their
place with one blow, where two or more
would be required with the square end,
drive easier and keep their direction bet
ter"
The dangerous practice of drugging food
is even more prevalent than is usually
supposed. SalIcylic acid, for example, is
very largely used in articles such as lel-
lies, ETC., which have tendency to be-
come moldy. Its use was interdicted in
France in 1881, but, according to the
Medical Press, it is more largely used
than ever. 1t is shown to be especially
injurious to persons suffering from liver
and kidney troubles, while in perfectly
healthy people it "accumulates to dan
gerous extent in the organs of those who
use it constantly"
Palmieri has shown that crude carbon
bi-sulphide can be purified by being agi-
tated with small quantities of anhydrous
vitriol. After standing for some time the
liquid is distilled off. An almost absO-
lutely pure product is obtainable by sew
eral repetitions of the process. The latter,
after having been rendered unfit for use,
can be restored by calcination, treatment
with oil of vitriol and gentle ignition. In
spite OF the daily extending use of carbon
bi-sulphide as a solvent for fats, grease,
etc, The above means Of publication is
convenient and useful.
During an Arctic exploration Lieuten-
ant Ray investigated the depth to which
the ground was frozen. He says: 81 dug
an earth shaft thirty-ejght feet in depth
for the purpose of testing the temperature
and found, on calculation, that it was
frozen to depth of 800 feet. a bucketfui
Of he stuff taken out of the shaft, when
thawed out, separated into earth and
water, about four inches Of the latter
standing ON top. This proved that if the
ground there were ever warmed suffi-
GENTLY to be resolved into Its original
parts it would be found to be quite inca
pabe of supporting anything on its sur
face. 1t is really frozen slush.

which 100 parts OF the finest potato spirit

then be applied as paint on wood. When

The Cotton Planter-Why lie Is Al


A few words now to my cotton planting
friends. The time was when our calling
was high-when we were boys the cotton
planter and banker were equal. At plant
ing time we were actually annoyed by the
confidence clerks of commission mer-
chants, visiting us in the field with bags
of gold and Mobile bank bills, begging us
to use their money; only ~ per cent, no
mortgage, only ship us your cotton when
you please. Now what a change. Our
calling has lost its prestige. A mortgage,
probably, on your home or landed interest,
your mules or other personal property,
with note at II per cent. due the 1st day
of September or October, with an obliga-
tion that so many bales of cotton be de-
liVered in good order on that day. The
price is set and away goes your hard
earnings. Why this change in things? ?
In few words, will tell you; at least
twO-thirds Of those engaged in raising
cotton are using borrowed capital to in
vest in the most hazardous game of chance
ever played. just say, if | must borrow
money to raise cotton, | will plant corn
In other words, if you have any money to
spare, raise some cotton. Then we can
say when to sell and at what price. One
more word: Is there one of us too poor or
too much tied up as the saying isl to
control our cotton seed this year? The
oil mills have set the price. Can't you
pay the gin toll and haul your seed home,
feed plenty to your cattle next winter;
house the balance? They will make oil
five years from now; don't submit to set
price. l say, down with monopolies =

The Sense of Touch.

They were in the grocery store. Said
Brown seeing a blind man about to en-
teri: "Were you aware how delicate the
touch of a blind man is? When nature
deprives us of one sense she makes
amends by bringing the other senses to
extraordinary acuteness. Let me illus
trate by this gentleman. I'll take a scoop
of sugar and let him feel of it, and you'll
see how quickly he'll tell what it ISL
The blind man having entered he was put
to the test. He put his thumb and finger
into the scoop, and without hesitation
said: ''That is sand" Everybody
laughed but the grocer. He made three
several attempts at blushing, and then
went into the back shop and kicked his
dog.

A LECTURE COURSE.

The ladies' societies of the Metho-
dists and Baptists churches, without
the knowledge of what either were
doing, recently appointed a commit
tee to consider the propriety of get
ting up course of lectures the COM
ing winter. After some preliminary
arrangements and correspondence,
it was discovered that each was con.
templating the same object and the
question then arose as to whether two
courses would pay. A conference
was had on the part Of the two com.
mittees and an agreement entered in
to to unite the two or have one good
course. The two committees met on
Tuesday evening and formed an as
ISOLATION with President, Secretary
and Treasurer, who will have the full
charge of the matter, secure the
lecturers and after paying all bills
divide the profits or losses.
The plan is to have first class speak
ers; those worthy of the patronage o.
our citizens. The best platform tai
ent now before the public will be Sc
cured. Such popular speakers as
John B. Cough, Hon. VIM. Parsons,
Mrs. Livermore, Rev. DR.. Vincent
Major Dane, Rev. Z. S. Henson, d
D., and such readers as Miss Nellie
Benson or Miss Jessie Conthoni, o
Chicago, are talked of. A concert
troupe may be engaged also. The
only question is, will our citizens sus
tain such a course. If 800 course
tickets can be secured, the course
will be a success. If not, the com
mittee do not feel warranted in 60
ing forward. A committee has BEEF
appointed to solicit subscribers to tn
course and the committee hope on
citizens will give them sufficient Ell
couragement. By ORDER OF CON-.
