successive years and produced on an average
of from SOD 10 600 pounds of seed cotton per

two horse Firmly plow about six inches deep,
thoroughly harrow it with Disc harrow, and
check the rows of three feet ten inches each
way and plant the cotton down Hat, and cult
vate with Browns cultivator. Now what
want TO know is, what commercial ingredient
would be best to compost with cotton seed end
stable manure, and in what proportion should
they be mixed; also the best plan for distribu-
ting, and how much should be rut on an acre?
&C. X. CahaJd, Ala.
ANswEE.-Acid phosphate is the only thing
needed to compost with cotton seed and stable
manure for land like yours that produces fine
weed. To every ten bushels each of seed aud
manure add 100 pounds of the phosphate and dis
tribute compost so that from 200 to 400 pounds
Of the incucd phos phate shall bc applied to an
acre. The first named quantity would Lc n
fair average manuring the last named n full
manuring, as much as could be safely risked, if
put in hill or drill! You can apply compost in

and then check lightly across it so as not to dis
turb the manure.-SoWhcrn Cultirator.

John D. McFadden, county treasurer Of Chester,
left for his homo yesterday afternoon. He
made his final settle nen: with the Comptroller
General Wednesday, getting through in
about n half hour. This dispatch was made
possible by the usual thorough and correct
manner in which Mr.. McFalden's books are
kept. 1t was remarked at tho Comptroller s
office that Chesters treasurer is not only the
first to settle this year, but that he gives less
trouble than any treasurer IN the State. lie
has held his Office for five years, and during
that time has invariably been the first man 10
max q settlement, but the most remarkable
part about it is that during the five years he
has sc rvcl there has not been n single land
sale for taxes. This is no doubt due in Il meas
ure to his diligence, but it speaks volumes for
the financial condition of The people of Chester.
The items of Mr.. McFaddcn's s settlement on
Wednesday are: Amount paid on account of

An agricultural college might do much,
but it appears to us that it needs no collie
giate education, agricultural or other
wise, to teach our farmers the folly of the
tall cotton system so generally practicd by
them. They know aud admit its folly, but
continue its practice all the same. In this,
we insist, is what's the matter with
our farmers. \ universal cause will pro-
duce a universal effect, but not all of our
farmers are growing poorer ever year. On
the contrary, some Of them are doing bette
than men Of the same amount of capital in
vested in almost any kind Of business. And
