Compost for Cotton.

Contrary to prevailing opinion it
IS not in practice Il matter of great i'm
portance to determine ard adhere to
fixed proportions of ingredients in
compromising a mix ure of fertilizinc
materials, CT compost, for particular
crop. Where home materials are to
be utilized. il is generally safe to use
good deal of latitude in the relative
proportions according to the respect
i've quantities of each Ingredient that
may be available. BY sort
OF common consent, standard
fertilizer for cotton, and most
other crops, should contain the
three valuable elements in about the
proportions of ammonia, 2 to 8 per
cent; phosphoric acid 8 to 12 per cent.
and potash II 10 2 per cent. and this is
about, the average of the commercial
fertilizers sold. If these proportions
are apl roximated within wide limits
in mixing a compost its practical
maximum value will be realized. Sta
BILE manure being one of the prime
ingredients in point Of bulk usually
employed in composing. and varying
greatly in composition, it is mani
testify imprac;icable to formulate with
any near approach to accuracy. As
the best practical compost we would
suggest the following:
Green cotton seed, 331 bushels
1000 pounds; acid phosphate-1, 900;
Kainit, Tx. O-1-200. and stable or lot
manure, scrapings from under houses,
etc, according TO quantity available.

probably analyze about as follows:

acid, so per cent; potash. !. 25 per
cent, and the addition of stable ma
nure or other crule material
would not materially alter the
relative proportion of the three valu-
able elements, the increase being
chiefly in the relative percentage of
ammonia, if good stable manure be
used. The quantity supposed as a

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Larger Harvests on Smaller Fields.

Many farmers do not understand
how to reduce their fields and increase
Their harvcsts. do not intend to go
into a long and labored scientific ex-
position of the means and methods re-
quired to accomplish this, but propose
to give some plain. practical advice to
govern the farmer who may determine
to adopt. as rule of action, smaller
fields and larger harvests.
First. Begin by laying off one
half OF the land you have usually cul-
tiyated. and secure it from stock by a
good fence. When this is done, realize
that your great object is to make that
half of your farm produce more the
first year than the whole did the last
year. Now 60 earnestly and industri-
ously to work to make this result GER
tain.
Second. Gather together in one
common mass every thing which may
help to form valuable compost. To
prevent waste place your material for
the compost heap in ditch dug for
the purpose. and into it dump all the
scrapings from your woodward, stable,
COW and sheep lots, and in fact, every
other available substance. Keep this
up until your ditch is nearly filled,
when you should prepare similar
receptacle for the future accumula-
tons. The compost mass should be
kept sufficiently moist TO promote
fermentation; cover it so as to protect
IL from the sun, and also secure it from
the rains.
Third. If y on raise cotton 10 any
extent. see 10 it that all the seed, ex-
cept those required for next years
planting. are returned to the soil by
which they were produced. Avoid
the folly of selling to the oil mills I'M
less you are sufficiently near to SUBJ
stitute the cotton seed meal or cake
for the whole seed, and in such guam
titles as will give you the advantage
in the exchange.
Fourth. Turn over all of the land
in the fall which you intend to Gull
tivate the following year, being care
full 10 cover all the vegetable accumu-
lations that are on the surface.
Fifth. Apply your compost and
other fertilizers Gf the compost heaps
are not sufficiently early in the year so
lha. when the time for planting comes
you may put in your seed with the as
surance that your land is possessed of |
more than double the producing pow
er OF the last year, and you will be
likely 10 realize greater harvest |
from half the land, half the labor
and half the expense involved in
the production of last years crop.
Sixth. Continue to increase the fer
tility of your land. from year to year,
n five years, and ut the end of this
period you can cs innate your farm at
one hundred dollars per acre, inste ad
OF five or ten dollars. which was its
and commercial value when
you adopted as rule of action,
Smaller fields and larger harvests.
You may also congratulate yourself

Inherited Diseases.

No fact of nature Is more pregnant
with awful meaning than the fact OF tho
inheritance of disease
Modern science, which has illuminated
so many dark corners of nature, has shod
anew light on the ominous words OF tho
Scriptures, 1.-THE sins OF tho fathers,
shall be visited upon the children
unto tho third and fourth genoration."
Fifty per cent of cases of consumption,
cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity Is hered.
itary IN n marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, Sho
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: mo organ
or texture OF the body is exempt from
the chance of being tho subject OF
hereditary disease.n Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions OF
the body, are more or less liable TO be In
herited The important and far-reaching
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases is a subject of intense in
terest to all. Fortunately nature has
provided a remedy, which experience
has attested as infallible, and the reme-
dy is the word-famous Swift's Specific,
q pure vegetable mpound-nature's
antidote for all blood poisons. To the
afflicted IL is o blessing OF inestmablo
