How Grain will Shrink.

Farmers rarely gain by keeping
their grain after it is fit for market
when the shrinkage is taken into
account. Wheat. from the time il
is threshed, will shrink two quarts
to the bushel, or 6 per cent, in Six
months, i'll the most favorable cir
cumstances. Hence, it follows
that ninety-four cents a bushel
for wheat when first threshed in
August, is as good, taking into
account he .shrinkage alone, as
one dollar in the following Febr-
uary.
Corn shrinks much more from
the time it is fret husked. One
hundred bushels of ears as they
come from the field in November,
Will be reduced to not far from
eighty. So that forty cents d
bushel for corn in the car as it
comes from the field is as good as
fifty in March, shrinkage only be-
ing taken into the account.
In the case of potatoes-taking
those that rot and are otherwise
lost-together with the shrinkage,
there is but little doubt that be-
tween October and June, the loss
to the owner who holds them is
not less than 33 per cent.
This estimate is taken on the
basis of interest at 7 per cent,
and takes no account of loss by
yermin.

How to Measure Corn in Crib,
Hay In a Now, Etc.

This rule will apply to a crib
of any kind. Two cubic feet OF
sound, dry corn in the ear will
make bushel shelled. To get the
quantity of shelled corn in a crib
of corn in the ear, measure the
length, breadth and height of the
crib, inside of the rail; multiply
the length by the breadth, and
the product by two, and you have
the number of bushels in the
crib
To find out the number of bus
hels of apples, potatoes, etc., in a
bin, multiply the length, breadth
and thickness together, aud this
product by 8, and point one
figure in the product for decimals.
To find the amount of hay in a
NOV, allow 512 cubic feet for q
ton, and it will come out very near
correct.

L1NTLEss COTTON.
Twenty Acres from Which the
Owner Expects Large Profits.

MADISON, Ga, July 81, 's2.-
1Mr. R. H. Campbell, of
this city, local manager of the
I Gate City Oil Company, has thirty
tacres, of lintless cotton, near the
soity limits, which is growing and
fruiting luxuriantly every day, and
promises to repay him richly for
skill and labor heshas bestowed
upon it. One not aware that it is
the lintless cotton would be unable
to tell the difference, and would
predict a yield Of q bale to the
acre on several acres of it. These
better acres will. yield 3Oeof 400
bushels of seed, entirely free from
lint, resembling okra seed, only
larger, which, at the ruling price
of cotton seed, would bring '$45::
But they are worth much more
than this. to say nothing Of the
labor and expense of ginning and
baling, which they save. A con-
servative estimate of Mr.. Camp
BELLS crop is 1000 bushels. He
expects to sell them in packages
of a peck or less to people all over
the south, the seed being in great
demand. Herin is a partial solution
Of the overproduction- cotton
problem, and Mr.. Campbell,
whether intentionally or not, is
a aIbenefactor of those farmers who
buy and use these seed.z-s2

A Model Plantation.

LAGRANGE, Ga, July 26.-A few
few days ago we had the pleasure
Of visiting the magnificent planta-
tion of Mr., c. H. Hudson, near
Whitfeld's, where he has a body
OF 1000 acres of the finest land
in the State. The plantation is in
charge of Mr.. J. W. Oliver, was is
a model superintendent. On the
place are number of tenants, one
old negro last year making twenty
three bales of cotton with one
mule, enough corn to do him, and
his crops promises to do as well
for him this year. The crops
worked by Mr.. Hudson's wage
hands are simply models. Under
every hill of corn is good supply
Of homemade compost, and every
stalk of corn has growing by it a
flouIishing pea vine.rf One field of
sixty acres in cornzwiH make an
average of from sixto seven bar
rels to the acre, and there is plenty
of cotton on the place which will
make more than asbale to the acre.
This farm is conducted on a
model system, and by terracing
and fertilizing the lands are built
up and are better and produce
larger crops each succeeding year.
Business principles govern every
thing, and the rules adopted are
rigidly enforced. The result is
the tenants and hands are we'll
satisfied, the same tenants having
been on the place for a number of
years, and they are growing in
prosperity each year,
The success of this large farm,
where crops are diversified and
rotated, thus making it self-sus-
tanning in every sense of the word,
demonstrates the fact that Mr..
Hudson is one of the best farmers
in tho State, for his ideas prevail
in everything out there, from a
farming and business standpoint,
is success.

Six companies are now working

$4,000 tons were mined and Ithc
