to do IN giving the plants vigor and health
ful growth than any other one substance.
Nearly all of our fertiliZlng materials
contain more or less of nitrates or nitro
genous food, but they are not in an ayRila-
bic state until they have undergone
chemical procesS-that is. not until the
nitrOgdnous food is transformed into nj
trates. Decomposition is this chemical
process. Organic mauures, skin, bone,
horns, flesh, and every other material
must 60 through this process before the
plants can gather nitrates. In some cases
many months and years are required be-
fore this transformation takes place. The
results that many Of our manures APP
piled do not give immediate results, and
we cannot manure the fields to-day for
an Improvement in the crops a month
later.
In nitrate of soda. however. we are
dealing with fertilizer that is all ready
for plant assimilat ion The nitrogen ex-
lists here in the form of nitrates, and there
is no transformation for it to undergo. 1t
is ready for immediate use.
We have consequently in nitrate of soda
an element that acts rapidly and quickly
on growing crops. In the spring, after a
severe winter has injured and weakened
the vitality Of the wheat, an application
of nitrate of soda, spread broadcast, will
make the wheat spring up rapidly and get
q good start Ordinary crops are in
creased by an application of nitrates on
any soil, but when the soils are not rich
and are lacking in nitrogen, then nitrate
of soda will make most wonderful diff
ference There is no loss to the land by
this application, either The fertilizing
material is in the nitrate of soda, and it
does not draw it from the soil One may
use it continuously and not injure the fer
tility of the soil one iota.

Feeding Wheat to Horses.

Farmers who have wheat and are not
forced to sell it, should never put it on
the market at the present low prices, says
The Breeder. 1t is the best reproducing
grain that can be fed TO poultry Hogs
fatten we'll on it aud great many FARM
ers who have fed it to hogs claim. that
they get 81 a bushel for it marketed in
the form of pork =
BHtthere are some people who have
horses or mules instead of hogs. and who
have plentyof wheat and very little corn.
Men who have had experience feeding
wheat to horses recommend the practice
unless wheat sells for much more than it
does now. T. B. Terry. the distinguished
Ohio farmer feeds wheat to his horses,
and says he regards wheat at
20 cents a bushel cheaper feed than
oats at 40 cents. He began by
feeding inferior, small and cracked wheat
and as they seemed to do we'll, when that
gave out he fed good wheat half and half
with oats. After considering the price of
each kind he decided to feed wheat alone,
and his horses did better than when fed
oats alone. His plan of operation is after
feeding at night to put enough dry wheat
into large pail for next days feeding.
Then pump in as much water as it will
soak up. This not much trouble when a
person is fixed for it. The wheat swells
up and makes very tempting food for
man or beast. Where there is plenty of
good timothy or clover hay, four quarts
per day of wheat is sufficient for ordinary
drivers, but of course work horse would

Pruning Fruit Trees.

Much damage is sometimes done the

That is, too much OF the tops of the trees

cut with healthy growth of wood and
fruitage Pruning should be done care
fully and judiciously; it not onlyrelates to
the time of the year but as to the proper
lion Of the top to be removed at a given
time A writer on the subject says
Under average conditions any time after
the leaves have fallenin the fall until the
new growth starts in the spring is a good
time to do necessary pruning. In fol-
lowing this plan, however, care should be
taken to do the work when possible at a
time when the trees are not frozen. If
proper attention is taken to commence
from the front and prune regularly every
year not only can better shaped tree be
secured but the necessity for the removal
Of large limbs be largely avoided and
less pruning after the tree comes into
bearing will be needed.
If the trees are carefully pruned in
winter they will make a long vigorous
growth the next season, while pruning in
summer has a strong tendency to check
growth, Good growers claim that good

Nitrate of Soda for the Fields.

There is no prominent fertilizer ele-
ment Just now so cheap as nitrate of soda,
and as this is one of the most efficient ma
terials for making straw and grain, every
farmer should consider whether it is not
wise to purchase and use some of it, says
w. E. Turner, in American Cultivator.
This substance is obtained from South
America, where enormous deposits have
been discovered, and the reduction in
transportation coupled with this abund-
ance have made the fertilizer COMPARE
lively cheap.
Nitric acid, which is really the active
element of nitrate of soda, forms the nj
trogenous food for plants, and, as every
farmer understands, nitrogen is one OF
the most important of plant foods. With
out it no plant could grow, and it has more

Agricultural Editor Morning News: I
observe in some books reference to rice

rice bran, rice hulls, rice polish. all hav-
ing different analyses.
Can YOU tell me what constitutes the
difference in the manufacture or differ
pnce in the production of these several
srticles2 SUBSCRIBER.
Savannah, Ga.
What is known as rice -four in the Sa-
vannah market is composed of rice bran
and rice polish mixed together and is
sometimes called rice meal. Rice bran
is the product obtained from sitting the
rice and chaff after being ground and
then mixed with the siftings obtained
after the rice have been pounded. 1t is
therefore mixture of pulverized chat,
small particles OF rice and the inside
cuticle of the grain. Rice polish is the
product obtained after the rice has been
pounded and sifted by passing it through
a brush or polisher. 1t is frequently as
white and fine as the best wheat -four
and much more nutritious. In most mar
kets this is sold separately from the bran.
Rice feed I pres ume to be the same as
Savannah rice -four. Rice middlings, as
known here. are small particles of rice
generally sold't to brewers or for chicken
feed 1t is thought to be much excel
lent food for small chickens Rice hulls
or chaff is simply the outside cuticle of
rice obtained from grinding and contains
very little nutriment,

TALK OF THE COTTON CROP.
Opinions Of Two Well-KnOWn AuthOTi-
ties on The Situation.

Hubbard, Price & Co. See No Indica-
tions of a Falling f-Reduced
Crop Estimates No Longer Credited.
Atwood Violet & Co.'S View of
Things.
Hubbard. Price < Co.'S letter says
LAS yet no indications of falling of in
the movement of cotton have appeared,
unless the receipts at the interior towns,
which seem likely to be about equal to
last year, can be considered as indicating
movement not in excess of the current
estimates. In fact, the issue is now being
sharply drawn between fiction and fact.
and the trade will no longer credit re
duced crop estimates, unless corroborated
by receiptsat the ports and the interior
towns.
Undoubtedly the receipts at Galveston
and New Orleans have been swelled by
the restoration of the railroad rates Of
freight throughout Texas to a normal ba-
sis, causing merchants TO make every eff
fort to sell and ship. their cotton before
the increased rates of transportation
went into effect, but the trade have been
so disappointed at the failure of the
movement to sustain the small crop re-
ports that theories not confirmed to facts
will no longer be credited. At the same
time it must not be forgotten that every
possible inducement has been made this
season to move the crop to market more
rapidly than for many years The rail
road companies have needed the money
paid for freight on cotton so badly that
they have granted every facility asked
for, and with no other freight Offering
upon their lines, they have moved the cot
| ton crop with unprecedented rapidity.

vIoLETT's VIEWS.

Atwood Violet q Co.'s Saturdays let
ter has the following to say concerning
the situation: "If Liverpool shows as
much strength on Monday as to-day, it
would indicate that they thought prices
quite low enough, even with the depress-
ing influences of a continued increase in
the supply as compared with last year.
The movement, however, promises large
receipts again next week. Port receipts es-
timated at 1855, 600 against 206, 900 last year,
of which New Orleans expects to receive
$1,000. This means an amount coming
into sight next week of $4,000 bales to
10000 bales, perhaps, excessive of last
year.
Liverpool will receive these estimates
on Monday. As we declined to-day not
withstanding the strong feeling here. it
should naturally bring about easier prices
on the other side. But the extent of it
will determine whether to-day's decline
has discounted their decline or whether
we will drop still lower.

"Our crop advices continue of the same
character as those we have been receiv-
ing, to which we have continually re-
ferred, during the past sixty days, as in
dications of a small crop character.
What bullish opinion we have had has
been based upon letters from the entire
cotton district, and unless the writer's
have been extremely mistaken in their
opinion of the outturn in their respective
sections, the falling off, comparatively
and relatively, must begin in the near
future to confirm the reports that have
been 50 universally received from the
cotton belt.

December, 1,52S. 600 bales came into sight,
which we shall hardly equal this month

seem to be so much a matter of the size
of the crop as it is that the supply is
greater than the demand, and until these
conditions are reversed it looks as though

GAS an illustration of this feature of the
movement, it is related that on an order
sent to Montgomery Ala, the cotton was
bought. shipped and loaded on a steamer
at Savannah i'll three days. Notwith-
standing the apparent heavy movement at
the ports the actual crop in sight is but
81 per cent. greater than last year; a
continuance of the movement upon a scale
of 10 per cent. increase would provide a
crop of 7,3lS,000, while a movement Is
per cent. larger than last season
would bring the crop to 1851 coo
bales Those who expect yield
equal to Mr.. Neills estimate point to
the movement of 1890, when it was very
heavy, as indicating what the yield will
be. At the moment the trade are uneasy
and disguised with the large movement,
and are disposed TO liquidate their hold
iugs in sheer disgust at the failure of the
accounts and the receipts to agree, and
under this pressure the market slowly
declines 1t is a feature of the market
that while a large amount of cotton can
be sold within a moderate range. any at
tempt to buy any quantity of cotton in the
market advances prices quickly, and the
wonder daily grows who absorbs the OF

This is the situation in a nutshell; if the
crop is as short as all the advices lead

evident, prices will sharply advance from

CYCLING NOTES.

The Decoration Day Race-Items OF In
terest to wheelmcn.
The warm weather of the past two
weeks has brought out all Of the wheels
in the city, and many new ones are seen
on the streets. 1t is said on the author
ity of q prominent dealer In bicycles
that there are oyer 500 wheels In this
city. and over one hundred will be added
to that number during the summer.
Unfortunately, there is no suitable place
about the city for speed practice, as
rapid riding on the brick streets Is al
ways attended with more or less danger
to pedestrians as well as cyclers.
1t is more than probable, how
ever, that negotiations with
the State Fair Association will be re-
newed, with view to putting down
quarter mile track, In the enclosure at
the new Fair Grounds. This matter
was considered last season, but all ef-
forts to establish q track proved fruit
less. A number OF wheelmen offered to
raise $500, with the assurance that five
hundred people would purchase tickets
at 81 each, which would entitle them TO
the use of the track during the season.
Half hundred local wheelmen are
getting in trim for the road race. which
is set for Decoration Day. A number OF
merchants have offered prizes, and 1t is
certain that one and probable that two
handsome bicycles will be offered as
prizes. The arrangements have not yet
been completed, but the start will prob
ably be made at Steenrod's, with run
to the State line and return, . distance
OF about twenty-six miles. 1t will be a
handicap race and all contestants Will
be placed upon an equal footing.
Tomorrow, II the weather Is fair,
two parties will probably leave the city.
One will 60 to the park to attend the
opening, aud the other to Mt. Pleasant,
O., where sixteen darkies will be bap-
tized by immersion. A run to Barnes
Vile Is also one Of the events on the
calendar for the near future.
On Monday night, weather permit
ting, moonlight run TO the stone
house at Elm Grove will be participated
In by about twenty wheelmen. They
will be divided into two parties. one
leaving late in the afternoon, the other
following Immediately after supper.
Supper will be taken at Elm Grove, and
the return trip made by moonlight. All
persons desiring to join the party should
notify Jason Stamp to-day.
