tatoes planted about the 10th of February

the earlier planted 10 is a good
plan TO select the field for planting
potatoes one year ahead and sow
IL down In COW peas, leaving them
on the ground until killed by frost, then
pillow them under early in December; this
will supply humus and nitrogen, A top
dressing of some good commercial fertil-
izer, TO be washed in by the winter rains
will add greatly 10 the yield. When il is
convenient and one possesses fresh land
rich in decayed vesetatiOn, or some old
pasture sod well MANFRED by droppings
from the stock, it will serve admirably
for potatoes, and will yield fine crops
without the addition of concentrated
fertilizers, The writer does not grow
early potatoes for the early market, be-
cause his land is located near the Missis-
sippi river, behind levees, and the soil
during high water in the river be-
comes so saturated with water the
potatoes die out. In 1892 and again
in 1898 he planted them, and in
both instances failed to get back
1889, being located on land not so affected,
he planted two and a half acres. This
tract was well sodded with Bermuda
grass, and had been in use as a pasture
for stock for twenty years, and was well
MANFRED by the droppings from cattle,
sheep and hogs. It was well and deeply
plowed the first of January, replowed
about the 18th, and thoroughly pulverized
with the disk harrow, rows laid off 3 feet
apart, seed cut to two eyes and planted
by hand February 10TH covered about
inches (trench system) as soon as the
plants began to show; cross-harrowed,
cleaning the field perfectly When
plants are or 4 inches high run Planet
Jr. cultivators close up to them, and as
deep as they could be run, thoroughly
loosening up the soil. The field was level
and kept so, the soil a sand loan, loose
and mellow. l gave the crop two work
ings with the cultivator and laid by
with two light burrows thrown TO the
plants. On April 2Sth we examined the
patch and found the tubers large. On
May 9th we dug 80 barrels and on the 10th
completed the digging; 100 barrels sold in
Memphis at $3.50 and a., netting a hand
some profit. We planted corn on this land
after potatoes, and gathered one hundred
bushels of sound corn. Varieties of pota-
toes planted were Early Rose and Peer
less. The amount with this field stood as
fOIlovvs.

Caution to Customers.

Nothing Of original or superior merit but
has its limitations and counterfeits, even to
imperiling the health Of communities. For
this reason the proprietors of Hostetters
Stomach Bitters caution their patrons to
scrutinize evey bottle offered (and il is sold
ONLY in bottles) and verify its many marks
OF genuineness.
A sufficient warning to those meditating
and can be found in the unbroken line Of judi
cial decision, exposing and severely Furnishing
every one dected in counterfeiting the Bitters,
and the redoubled efforts that are being
made to protect the public from the de-
ception of these unprincipled pirates.
RENDER the Bitters are sold in bottles only
never by the gallon or in bulk.-ad.

Less total expense. ........." 50.
Net proceeds FROM ~ al

Tt will be seen that the yield from
this 20 acres was not an extraordinary
one, if compared with the yield of pota-
toes in some other sections of the United
States The barrels used were -four
barrels, holding about bushels each ;
this would make the yield 4o5 bushels
on % about, or 100 bushels to the acre.
Price is always good in the spring for
new potatoes, and we can count upon
s.. so to $500 per flour barrel, if in market
by May 90 This lot of land was no bet
ter than the average, and received no
other fertilization than the droppings
from stock. l give it to show the profit
that can be made growing potatoes for
early Northern market. On one-fourth
of an acre of this same land l raised 16
barrels of white rice popcorn, and sold
ID barrels Con the cob in St Louis, for
215c. per ID. !; the shipment netted $3.50
These crops are considered here as small
things, tritleS, yet we see they pay several
hundred per cent. more than the "big''
things. The demand for hay is so great
here that it pays handsomely; this shall
reserve for the next article.

The ash of cotton seed contains the
mineral elements in the following pro
portions: Lime 40 to so per cent, potash
II to 30 per cent. Sphosphoric acid 10 to IL
per cent, magnesia to Sper cent, sui
phuric acid to per cent.
AS remarked elsewhere the ash varies
greatly in respect to the relative contents
of the chief elements lime, potash, phos-
phoric acid and magnesia. The ash of
cotton seed hulls may justly be regarded
as the very best of mineral fertilizers.

What is Tankaga 2

A Florida reader asks what is "tank-
age" Says he has seen frequent refer
ence to it as fertilizer for garden crops.
''Tankage' is the term applied to fertil-
izing compound made in the large butcher
shops, near the cities of the north mostly,
1t Is manure, when pure, that con
tains per cent. or more of ammonia and
the same quantity of phosphoric acid. II
is composed of refuse bones, blood and
flesh matter from the slaughter pens, and
as a general rule it is one of the best fer
tilizers that can be had, but there is
little of it used in the south.

Best Cabbage for Southern eeorgie


VIII you please tell me what variety of
cabbage is best to grow in this section to
make good hard head ready to ship in
April or early in May. Sometimes my
cabbage make good hard heads and then
again only a few of them will head well
enough to allow of their being shipped
any distance.
az What is the best remedy to keep
the bugs and worms off of cabbage They
nearly ruined my cabbages this year.
Jesup, Ga. H. M. G.
If cabbage seed were invariably true to
name, and their respective qualities en-
Variably transmitted to successive gener-
alton, it would be easy to answer our
correspondents question. Itadepends SO
much upon the manner of raising and
saving cabbage seed there may be a vast
difference between two strains of seed
that were originally derived from the
same variety
E'ottler's Brunswick cabbage we have
found to be an excellent kind for south
ern use and when one can get a good
strain of seed well-raised by an intelli-
gent, honorable seed grower, there is no
better variety to be had and yet we have
planted what were reputed to be Fottler's
Brunswick and been disappointed gre
Vousiy in the result.
AS we cannot grow our own cabbage
seeds in the extreme south, we must rely
on getting our seeds from growers or
dealers at the north. However good and
satisfactory our seeds prove one year, it
does not come as matter of course that
we will find the same satisfaction the fol-
lowing year, even though we may pur-
chase the same variety of seed and from
the same dealer Still we can do no bet
ter than select salesman of good reputa-
ton and make our purchases from him
year after year. When one finds a va
riety that gives him satisfaction, it is
quite natural that he will want TO keep
on using that kind and that strain of seed
as long as he can get it, or as long as it
gives satisfactory results. OF course this
general rule of practice need not bar him
from trying other varieties from other
sources The successful cabbage grower
does not confine himself exclusively to
one variety, of course. If he does not
want three varieties or more, he is likely
to want two at least, an early kind and a
late.
The cabbage which above all others
has afforded us the most satisfaction is
the one we have named above-Fottler's
Brunswick Then the Improved Ameri-
can Savoy is q superb variety, especially
for setting out In the fan, to make heads
early in the spring.
For late heading sort there is nothing

BURY THE HATCHET.
Esprit of the Age.l

A great many unwise things have
been said and done, during the last
few months, under the influence Of
political excitement, which have had
the tendency to ALLEVIATE neighbors and
friends, and, in too many instances,
to estrange members of the church.
But the election is over, and the
chasms that have been made by poll
tics will be filed up and turfed over
at once, leaving no traces of the con-
hict that has just ended.
This is Government Of the people,
and the majority rules with the con-
sent of the minority When the cleo
ton is over the will of the majority
becomes the will of the minority-as
we'll; and those who stood face to tace
as political opponents in the struggle,
come together again as neighbors,
friends and Christians, bury the
hatchet and live as brethren again.
What glorious country is ours!

THE ERA OF GOOD FEELING.
philadelphia Times.

The generous attendance and cor
dial cooperation of leading and &C
tive Republicans in the reception
given to Chairman Harrity in the
Academy of Music on Tuesday even
ing last only emphasized the advent
of the era of good feeling that now
obtains in all political circles. The
Union League set the example on the
evening Of the Cleveland jollifcation,
and the spontaneous and overwhelm-
ing character of the tribute paid to
Mr.. Harrity by citizens of every party
faith was as creditable to Philadelphia
as it was honorable to him.
The late natio nal contest was not
less earnest than such battles have
been in the past, but it was the most
manly, dignifed, clean, educational
campaign of American history, and
its benehcent results are visible in the
cordial acquiescence of the minority
in the decision of the nation. Had
President Harrison been reelected,
he would have been welcomed to his
second term by the whole people just
as all parties now bow Loyalty to the
overwhelming election of Mr.. Cleve-
land.
|. The American people have learned
that intelligence, patriotism and de-
votion to all the great material in
terests obtain quite as much in one
party as in the other; and that while
men of equal intelligence and patriot
ism may earnestly differ as to the true
policy of the government, the Repub-
lie and all its vast interests are en-
tirely safe in the care of either party.
This is the lesson Of the late election,
and the low partisan hatreds and as
perities which have disgraced past con-
tests have perished, and we hope for
ever. The era of good feeling has
come, and let all good citizens resolve
that it has come to stay.

THE UMBRIA'S VOYAGE.
ICharlOtte Observer.I

What a dramatic picture-the tardi-
ness of the great ocean steamship
Umbria to make her haven in the port
of New York, and the glimpses which
we have now and then had of the
stately sea queen, adrift on the waste
of waters, but ever holding her beauti-
tul, proud crest upreared! On Christ
mas day-how those hundreds Of
imprisoned voyagers longed for the
holiday cheer and the festive holly
about the hearthstone at home-a
passing steamer sighted her and caught
her signal: "Shaft broken and hard
at work-need no help" Later
another rival on the seas broad track
saw her great hulk afar, swung about,
swaying gracefully with the sweep of
the waves, and s'spoke'' her: "Report
us all well"- and the sturdy sailors
went on with the work on that broken
piece of machinery whose staunchness
meant life or death to them. The
story in detail is coming out now,
Capt. Mckay, who paced the quarter
deck, is hero, though it be in the
rough. Perhaps he never uttered a
prayer or bent the knee, as did Evan
geIist Moody on the bufeted steamer
Spree; but, whether stars shone down
into his brave heart or the storm
lashed and beat his stalwart form in
the darkness, he knew there was
God above who held him keeper Of
those soft voiced, gentle-eyed women,
those tender children, those eager
business :nen, those rude, unkempt
men of the steerage, who had staked
their all on this venture in 4 new land
-and, God he thanked, he brought
ship and precious freight into port.
