The Atlanta Constitution records the
results of competitive trial in profita-
BILE cotton raising in Georgia, in which
seventy five planters participated. A fer
tilizer company in the State offered $500
in gold for the best yield Of cotton made
on ground enriched with their fertilizer,
and four Jersey bulls for the best yield
produced by clubs. The highest yield
was l,345 pounds of lint cotton to the
acre, or three and one-half bales of $50
pounds each. The lowest yield was 43O
pounds, or bale to the acre. The aver
age of the seventy-fve farmers was IA
pounds, or nearly two bales to the acre.
To secure this, they used an average of
8ss pounds Of the fertilizer, which cost
1854. The cotton brought $69.65, leav
a net profit of $54.l2 to the acre, the cot
ton seed nearly paying for the cultiva-
ton. cat bale to the acre above the
cost of the fertilizer, any farmer can get
rich," says the Constitution, and the sew
enty-fve made more than that average.
The returns from the State show that on
an average three and half acres were
required to produce a bale, or seven
acres, under the old method, to secure
what the new method produced from one
acre-a demonstration of the profits of
"improvef farming" which will not be
lost on the planters of the cotton belt.
The corn premiums produced results
equally gratifying. There were sixteen
contestants, and the average yield was
eighty-one bushels to the acre, the first
premium being taken with ll64 bushels.
The interest in these contests, and their
success, prove that the Southern planters
are abandoning the loose, old planta-
ton methods, and are beginning to see
the profit and comfort in small farms
well titled" A steady following of this
system will pay that section better than
all the politics it ever INDUCED in.

PPLEMENT TO FLORIDIAN- JANUARY 6. 1885.


Mary Riley, a rosy-cheeked girl Of
nineteen years, works in paperbox fac
tory in Canal street near Broadway, as
does Joseph Kettner, . good-looking
young man. At one time they were
engaged to be married, but the girl broke
the engagement Yesterday she caused
his arrest on charge of annoying her.
Whenever they met he would throw his
arms about her and kiss her. She told
him that she cared not for his kisses, but
he would not cease. Counselor Samuel
D. Levy, who appeared for the accused,
said that when they were engaged his
client kissed his sweetheart thousand
times day. Now he was so used to it
that it was impossible for him to break
the habit.
"You must stop il" said Justice Duffy,
sternly.
al can't, Judge l would if could"
Justice Duffy warned him and dischar-
ged him. The young woman returned
five minutes after they had left court and
said that he had kissed her on the street.
81 can't stop it," said Justice Duffy.
" The best thing you can do is to marry
him.

A LIZZARsD OF THE SEA.

The whaling bark Alaska, which ar
rived in this port few days ago from the
Arctic Ocean, brings strange story Of
the narrow escape from death of six OF
her crew. The first officer, George John
son, stated the circumstances to a ChrOn-
icle reporter yesterday, as follows: On
the 10th of last October, when the vessel
was 46 miles south of Alaska, an object
was perceived in the distance whose pro-
portions and shape indicated it 10 be a
monster sea lion. A boat was immedi-
ately lowered and placed in charge of
First Officer Johnson and five Of the
crew, named Andrew Nelson, William
Wilson, Antoine Niaga, George Marsh
field and Hans Stuten. AS the distance
was being decreased between the boat
and the huge animal they became con-
WINGED that it was the famed sea serpent.
When they came within few hundred
yards the monster made dash for the
boat, striking out its immense tail against
the craft. Several Of the occupants were
precipitated into the water but were res
cued with difficulty. A harpoon and
lance were fired into the body OF the beast
and it disappeared beneath the surface.
Half an hour later it reappeared, floating
on the water, dead.
1t was secured with ropes and towed to
the vessel and hoisted on the deck.
There the capture was seen to be vii
lainous-looking thing. It's head closely
resembled that Of lizard. 1t measured
thirty-three feet in length, the tail alone
being nine feet long. The tail was cut off
and stuffed and brought to this city, and
is now on exhibition in a waterfront sa
loon.-Sdn Francisco Chronicle.
