Rhode Island has gone to the
trouble OF holding al election, but
finds that she has made no choice.
This is because OF law requiring that
majority instead OF plurality OF
votes shall elect. Voting populations
are now SO divided up and so many
parties present tickets that a candi-
date successful by a majority vote is
an exception TO the general rule. Most
states hare therefore repealed the old
laws requiring a majority vote and
substituted a law which provides that
candidate receiving plurality of
votes shall be declared elected. This
Is fair and il does away with the in
Vulnerable electoral sqstahtaes which
invariably arise when a general cleo
lion has resulted in no choice.

MEAL.

BY b. w. Hawkins, Mons, Ga.
I have great many inquiries 80
to my formula for composing, and
for using cotton SEED neal. If you
allow me space in your colamns, |
will give it to the public for all it Is
worth, so that all VINO wish can y
il on a small scale. give It s
my formula. Say take 80 bu h S
each of stable manure and co 'oh
seed in layers; take 100 pounds
acid, so pounds kainit, sprinkle o.
stable manure and cotton seed. and
so build up TIE Leap In this wa

the capacity of the soil.

with compost and guano in msn1
different ways, which | VIII give tt
the public some future day, az sool
as my experiments are fully salts
factory to my mind.
The above named compost ant
homemade fertilizer, look upor
as being a good one and tie mos
perfect made, and one that | shal
settle down upon if | meet ag"il
with the same success this year as
did last year, 1888.
My experiments have been sucl
with guano and compost that | an
forced to believe that phOsphOri
acid and ammonia and potash mus
abound in equal quantities in con

TO land too much. 1t bias It's chen
