Cost of Raising Cotton.

My account book tells me that the actual
cost Of producing q pound of lint cotton
was cents in 1885, ~ cents ins 1856, 5
cents in 1887, ~ cents in 1883, AZ cents in
1889, says L. P. Elan, in Southern Guilt
vdtor.
The cost of ginning, not included in the
above, as | counted the seed to pay for
that / do not cha' ge interest on land in
ascertaining cost of crops, as the interest
is the profit we are seeking from landed in
vestment. l charge interest on farm tools
and stock that are used in crops sufficient
to replace wear and tear of the tools and
stock. / make Gil of my own stock feed,
corn at about an average Of As cents and
onss 20 cents, fodder 35 cents, making oat
straw answer for a large percentage Of for
age used. Raised sufficient meat for white
family and to supply hands four months
Live on red clay lands and therefore cannot
cultivate cotton very extensively, only the
fresh lands and MANFRED lots that produce
cotton. | charged the crop with only the
LABOR that is done directly on the land OF
that crop. Whatever work is done on the
cotton laud or manure for that land /
charge the cotton crop, also tax on such
land valued at five times average value of
whole plantation. l add IS per cent profit
to actual cost of horse feed, etc. So you
perceive that for five years accounted my
cotton cost on average Of 81 cents, based
on home raised provisions and other lowest
possible charges.
Not to be lengthy will say that there is
no profit raising cotton at present prices on
lands requiring much manure, or not so
well adapted to cotton as not to yield 400
pounds lint per acre. To the man who
owns his farm and does his own labor there
is fair wages, but no profit on landed invest
mont. The cotton is only ready means for
coming that much of his time into money.
The renter or cropper cannot pay rent or
share and get at all fair wages from cotton
at less than cents net. mean SIS per year
including feed for the workers of the
average family.
P. S.-Cotton this year will cost me at
least ~ cents owing to small yield in conse-
Quence of drought for weeks.

eeoro,e and the Cabinet.

From the Charleston IS. CT Ne,cs and Courier.
Georgfa's latest candidate for position in
President Cleveland's cabinet 10 Gov.
Northen, who is "favorably mentioned for
Secretary Of Agriculture" We have
no doubt Gov. Northen would make very
good Secretary Of agriculture, but he
is now making a very good governor of
Georgia, and he should serve out his term
in that office before his partial friends post
him for another position. Besides, if
Georgia is to have q representative in Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, what is the matter
with Hoke Smith2 He was fighting for
Cleveland and the principles for which
Cleveland stood when most Of the ress of
Georgia's cabinet candidates were lodging
behind bushes or training with the demo-
cratic faction which did all within IT'S power

Comparative Value OF Green and
Dried Food.


We have had occasion to cite experiments
made at two experimental stations in re err
ence to the value of dry forage and green
food silage).
Now comes some experiments from the
Utah station giving additional testimony TO
the value of dry food:
Prof. Sanborn of the experimental sta
ton at Logan. Utah, reports feed
ing three lots Of steers during the
season of 1891, three each of like
weights and age, one lot grazing in the field,
another having green food cut and brought
TO them Of the same kind, and third lot
having the same food as the second, cut and
air dried. The experiment. lasted ninety
two days, and the gain was the same for
each lot. butit required 2S.2 per cent. more
land to feed those that we're grazing
than those that were fed at the Darn upon
green food. and those that had the dried
food required more to make pound Of gain
than those given green food. and they re-
quired more than winter fed steers. It ap-
pears by this trial that soiling is unneces-
sary, dry food answering the same purpose:
that winter feeding is quite as economical
when cattle are fed in stalls or yards as
summer feeding in stalls OF yards; that
grazing is somewhat waspeful; and that
green grass aud young grass are no more
effective than dry and mature grass or hay

Educating the Farmers.

Editor Morning NetCs: In his reply of
Nov. IS to my structures upon the meager
distribution Of the literature of the agricult-
ural department. and experimental station
Capt. Redding is disposed to be compli-
mentary to the writer, but it does not seem
to strike the director that there is very little
use for the information intended to be con-
veyed il it cannot be disseminated. The
wisest lessons taught by these agencies fall
fat il the people do not receive the benefit
of them. 1t is to be feared the distribution
Of this literature is a mere trayesLy. Doubt
less copies can be readily found among the
merchants and in the hands of a few Of the
best informed and most influential
cities. 1t is to hoped the
Redding refers, is rapidly going on, for, as
already indicated. It is useless to expend
$4,000 a year TO get information for
the farmers and then withhold perhaps
81. 900 in distributing it. Don't wait for q
farmer to reQuess the bulletins. Many of
them, we tell you, don't know there is an
experimental station in the state, and very
few dollars added to the present expense for
printing would secure an ample supply.
And il several hundred should be 'Indis-
criminately" and ''inludiciously" dis

nate the names of non-readers. just think

Muriate OF Potash-Its Composition.
Nitrate of Soda


A reader" asks what is the difference be-
tween muriate Of potash and kainit and
which Is the better as fertilizer.
Muriate Of potash is a potash salt OF a
higher grade than kainit 1t has about
four times as much actual potash as kainit.
While the latter has II or II per cent.
potash the muriate has As to so per cent,
consequently sells for four times the price
usually. Allowing Tor this difference in res
gard TO the potash we presume il makes no
difference whether you nse fifty pounds OF
murlate or 200 pounds OF kairlit in lieu of it.
Inese salts, as you probably know, are
mined in Germany and shiJ = d by sailing
vessels chiefly to this country You ought to
get either OF them cheaper, of course, at
your nearest seaport-Savannau, for in
stance. or Charleston. Another inquirer
recently asked what was the difference be-
tween kainit and nitrate of soda, which was
the better fertilizer.
No comparison is to be made between
these two substances. One is valuable only
for the nitrogen that it contains and the
other for its potash. A fair sample of
the nitrate contains about 1879 per cent.
nitrogen and like sample of kainit IL TO IL
per cent. potash. Ii might be money alb
solutely thrown away to apply either one
exclusively TO land. If your soil was poor
from the lack Of potash and yet had fair
amount OF nitrogen in IL there would be no
profit in applying nitrate Of soda. it would
be dead loss in fact. Ordinarily though,
reasonable quantity of it used as a
top dressing is helpful. It is
quoted at the seaboard at
about S45 per ton az cents per pound, AS
an object lesson of probable value, IL it
comes convenient to you in spring, top-dress
an eighth of en- acre of your oats in early
March with Is hounds OF it. and on an ad .
joining eighth apply % pounds ksinit. These
little practical experiments should be made
yearly by every farmer wherever possible.

demned.
