Fall Flowing for Corn, and the Profit
Of Corn on Hilly Land at Pre-
sent Prices.

The Fallston Farmers Club, of
Hartford county, Nd. met at Sunny
side, the home of Mr.. James Robinson
Thursday, October 3Oth.
The president appointed as commit
tee of inspection Garrett Amoss, VIM.
Preston and Joseph Hoskins. They
reported everything in very good con-
dition; would advise him to cut his
fodder instead of feeding it on the
stock.
Mr.. Keech wanted to know if it is
best to pillow in the fall for corn.
Mr.. Garrett Amoss thought that
land plowed in the fall will be harder
and more difficult to keep clear of grass
and weeds than that which has been
plowed late in the spring.
Mr.. H. Preston likes blowing in
February.
Mr.. VIM. Preston preferred blowing
as late as possible before planting. A
piece Of ground he had in corn last
year verified his opinion.
Mr.. Robinson's experience is against
fall blowing; thinks it takes nearly as
long to prepare field for planting at
ter fall blowing as it would to pillow it
again.
Mr.. Edelin, thought the longer land
is kept in sod the better. Prefers to
do blowing in February.
Mr.. Hoskips would pillow as late as
possible before planting; thinks it re-
suits In better crops; the worm will
not be so bad; would not pillow so early
as February.
Mr.. Favor would rather be two or
three weeks late in planting than to
pillow in the fall.
Mr.. C. j. Moore observed that fall
blowing on the Moss wood farm is best,
as the land does not bake, it being
sandy, and he thereby gets rid of the
worms, which have been an annoy
ance it washes, however, somewhat,
which is an objection.
Mr.. L. Bond thought it harder to get
the ground in order when plowed in
the fall, but likes it because it helps
the work in the spring.
The subject for discussion was next
taken up, is corn profitable crop on
billy land at present prices /?
The opinion of the club was that it
is not profitable crop to grow exclu-
sively for the market; but, as crop
grown in rotation, after field has fail.
ed to produce less than one half ton
of good hay to the acre; there is no &C.
real. even on billy land, more profita-
BILE, taking the fodder into considera-
ton, than the corn crop, but all agreed
that it would pay better to buy corn at
present prices than to turn down q
good sod for the sole purpose of grow
ing corn. Mr.. Edelin, differed with
the general opinion. 1t was evident
from his remarks that he had given
the subject considerable thought. He
carefully figures the cost by charging
the crop with labor, fertilizers, exhaus-
ton of fertility and the washing to
which hilly land is subject, to within
three dollars of the market value of
the entire crop, fodder included This
small sum, he says. will not Justify us
to grow corn, buttry to bring our fields
into grass in some other way than by
first growing corn.-Belair Times.

'sBig j. Road.

The freight officials of the "Big J"
rood informed the racket reporter
Yesterday that the rates on cotton
shipped from Aberdeen, West Point
and Starkville to New Orleans has
been reduced from 81 per bale to
$3.50, and that other reductions in
rates will follow in the course Of
few days.
The reduction of rates on cotton
goes into effect on Aug. 10, and the
officials of the road confidently ex
pect to handle great deal Of bust
ness this season owing to the fact
the road traverses a very fertile
country, and has opened a new out
let for the vast amount of cotton
which yearly is shipped from the
Yazoo delta N. o. Times Demo
crat.
The Racket Reporter having at
last discovered that there is such a
new line as the Canton, Aberdeen
& Nashville rail road, or the "Aber-
deem Division of the Illinois Central, y
should have gotten its location fixed
in his mind, and then he would have
known that it had not "opened new
outlet for the vast amount Of cotton
yearly shipped from the Yazoo DE :
ta," unless the. counties of Attala
Choctaw, Winston, Oktibbeha, Clay
and Monroe are in the Delta instead
of being in the North eastern portion
Of the State. He has gotten our new
road jumbled up in his mind witt
the Yazoo City branch of the "Big

trail to get at our great prairie coun

The OLD Aberdeen Cotton Gins.

Happening in at Mr. Jno. Holmes
gin repairing shop in the Roberts
block on upper Commerce street,
last week, we found him at work
sharpening the teeth of sixty one
saw cotton gin, for Mr. T. j. Nc
Quiston, of this county, that was
made by Outlet & Kirkpatrick in
Aberdeen, for Col. VIM McQuiston,
1851, and has been in active service
ever since. Another gin of the same
make and age belonging to Judge
O'Connor was in Mr. Holmes shop
at the time of our visit
There are hundreds of these old
Aberdeen made gins in use in this
and neighboring counties in Missis-
sippi and Alabama, and in almost
every instance they are preferred to
any that can be obtained. In MT,
merous cases they have been taken
down TO make way for modern i'm
plements, yet in almost every in"
stance the new gin is set aside and
the old Aberdeen gin returned to
service on account of its doing bet
ter work and making better sample
than its mere pretentious rivals. Il
the Aberdeen foundry and gin facto-
ry had not been destroyed during
the war most of the gins needed If
the United States would be made
here now, for Outlet would never
have sold the patents of his improve
ments to New England men as h'
did, to obtain means to begin th'
world again with.

AN experiment in extinguishing
fires with patent hand fire grenades
was tried on Commerce Street, Tues
day afternoon. A small bonfire was
built, and when the flames were at
their highest the grenades were
thrown. There were but four of them
on hand. Two of these struck a
hoard and bounced back as they
broke, wasting their contents, and the
others were so thrown as to do little
good. We have no doubt as to their
Efficacy, but in our opinion the best
way to use them is to toss them into
the flames and allow tho fire to burst
the glass and release the extinguish-
inc contents.

The streets of Aberdeen were
crowded with country wagons on
Tuesday, In fact we have as many
wagons on our streets every day IN
the summer as most other towns can
boast in the harvest season, and the
throng represents many counties in
Alabama and Mississippi. Every
wagon that comes in leaves money
in greater or less sums with our
business men, WHO nevertheless
grumble about "dull times" from the
first of June till the first of Septem

would be regarded as Flush times

SAMPSON BRACK.

AN interesting exhibition was wit
messed by several individuals at Lake
& Sons Mill, near the Mobile & Ohio
depot, on Monday afternoon. 1t was
the test of Messrs. Taylor & CoX's
fire extinguisher, patented device
for extinguishing fires at cotton gins,
lint rooms and other buildings where
steam engines are employed for mo-
tive power. The invention consists
Of an iron pipe extending from the
engine to whatever room it is desired
to protect, on the end Of which is
affixed hollow iron ball, perforated,
through which the steam and hot
water are thrown in all directions
filling the room SO quickly as to OK
tinguish fire in marvelously short
time. 1t was patented in Anderson
county, South Carolina where there
are large number of steam cotton
gins and all of them have the eXtin.
guisher attached, while the press and
people of that and other States com
mend it very highly as protection
from fire. Agents of the manulac.
turers will be in this city and county
several weeks, and may be seen by
those desiring to purchase.
