DO FERTILIZERS PAY2

This is question that has both
cred my mind for the last thirty
odd years, and I have not yet
reached final conclusion on the
subject. Taking everything into
consideration, the original cost,
the freight, the expense of hauling,
distributing, etc., the increase in
production and the reduction in
Iisices as a natural consequence, it
ffid6es "a seem to be money thrown
away and labor wasted, as we now
have cotton below the cost of pro-
duction. 1t Is true, fertilizers in
vigorate the plants and cause them
to grow faster and mature earlier
and give the farmer pleasure as he
watches them in their rapid growth.
The improvement can be plainly
seen some years, other years it is
scarcely perceptible. Is this caused
by the seasons, the fertilizers, or
both?
Let all speak out and tell what
they know of fertilizers, and how
much clear money they have on
hand as a result of using fertil-
izers during the last eight on ten
years.
1t is true, much of lands have
been improved, but we cannot give
all the credit to fertilizers. I know
whereof I speak whom I say many
of US have increased the yielding
capacity of our lands by taking out
the stumps and roots, which ena-
bles us to pulverize the soil deeper
and cultivate it better. This adds
beauty to our fields and gives them
increased production over the old
stumpy field with its grass turfs,
broken plow stocks, grass and
sweeneyed mules. It is easy t, put
So or Sd per acre into our soils, but
it is hard to get it out, on either

Keeping Sweet Potato Vines.

A writer in the Texas Farm and
Ranch gives the following direc-
tions for keeping sweet potato
vines through winter, to be used in
early spring for seed: Cut the
vines close to the hill; take knife
and clip off leaves and leaf stems
close to the vine, and if vines be
longer than four feet, cut them in
two or more pieces, for convenience.
Select a place we'll drained. Raise
a little mound the size you wish
your hill, about eight inches high
in the middle, sloping to edge.
Now put down a layer of vines,
two inches deep; cover with fine
earth, and SO continue layer d
vines, alternated with fine eartl
until you form cone shaped hill
Cover this with corn stalks or any.
thing to keep dry and keep from
freezing. Vines are much easie'
to keep than potatoes, and in Jan
uary or February you will hav
nice vines to plant, much earle
than sets, and they make the nice5
and smoothest potatoes. AS vine
less Yams are very scarce, YER
much more potato seed can b
saved by this method, and at tb
same time a heretofore useless pat
of the plant utilized. I have ga
dened several years and never fai-

same time I have had all my p
tatoes to rot.

And Then.

Marion Farmer.
Things are coming to pretty
pass.
The props will drop from under
men and firms this season that
have not felt the strain of financial
depression so keenly before.
The dusty last years clothing
and shoes of the merchant, lying
untouched and unpriced,, in the
presence of bare-footed, half-clad,
shivering negroes, will take the
cataracts from over his eyes and
enable him to see who is right and
who is wrong.
Then it will be getting right to
make him sympathize with the
debt-rldden farmer.
Then he will the better appre-
ciate the you-ought-to-do-a-cash-
business theory of his boss; and
then he will gradually get the idea
that the farmers do know some
thing, do have some brains and
some rights.
And then the air-infated cra-
mum of the street-corner dude
will bob up and tell US that you
can't legislate money into peoples
pockets.
And then the crossroads wise
acre will whittle away on a dry
goods box and expatiate on the
you-ought-to. diversity doctrine of
his boss.
And then some miserly agricul-
cultural skinfint will open up on
the work-more-and-t lk-less-poli-
tics of his boss.
And then the notes and beams
and cataracts will be removed from
the peoples eyes.
And they will see empty cotton
houses and corn cribs. vi thin three 5ttl' g
r.aoHth5 after DountifuI harvest.
They will see hunger in the pres
ence of abundant food crops; they
will see nakedness in the presence
of abundant clothing products ;
they will see increasing poverty in
the presence of increasing plenty,
and misery stalking, unnoticed, in
the presence of dazzling splendor
and reckless extravaganza.
Then will the people wonder how
inattention to business Gas assert
ed of the farmers) can produce too
much, and how over-production
can produce poverty.
And then the people will be in
proper humor to pestle these
ground-mole theorists with facts
that they can't explain.
And they will do it.
And it won't be long.

THE SPECULATORS SCARED.
They See Danger Ahead in Mr..
Roddey's Proposition.
THAT NEW COTTON TRUST PLAN.
In New York, as Well asin Other
Cities, the Brokers Say That
Tt Would Ruin Their
Business.

New YORK, Oct. 3O.-Member
of the cotton exchange here ant
in other cities are somewhat ex
cited over the proposition to form
a gigantic trust of all the cottor
raisers of the South, which is be
ing advocated by John T. Roddey
a prominent broker of this city
The exchanges are opposed to tht
scheme. If such q trust is formed
the brokers say that their business
will be ruined, so far as exercising
any control of the market is con.
cerned. The trust would be able
to practically dictate the price Of
cotton in the open market.
Mr.. Roddey's plan is for every
cotton farmer, no matter how small
to become a shareholder. When
the crop is gathered each member
shall turn into the trust one bale
out of every fye or six bales raised
by him, or if the crop is a small
one, then one bale out of every
seven or eight shall go to the trust,
The amount of cotton thus placed
in the hands of the trust shall be
held by the latter as sort of bal
ance wheel to the market.
The farmer will market his crop,
less the amount turned over to the
trust, as best suits him. The trust
supply will be held until the market
price shall be high enough to war
rant it's sale and the return of a
good profit. Mr.. Roddey feels sure
that the adoption of his plan and
the formation of a trust, as pro-
posed, will at onceput the price of
cotton up to about s cents from the
present price, which is about 5
cents. This would be an imme-
.diete and material. benefit to the
farmer, who would also benefit by
the dividends which 1t is expected
will accrue to him on his trust
shares.
Mr.. Roddey suggests a meeting
in New York at an early date of
representatives of all farmers Or
CARNATIONS in the south, to con-
slider the matter. He has received
a number of letters from promi-
nent cotton planters and leading
citizens of South Carolina, who
heartily endorse the plan.
When seen at his Office, 80 Broad
way, Mr.. Roddey said he expected
active steps towards organization
would be taken this week.

Women and Men-The Conflict
Around the Cradle.
Harper's Bazaar.

In the days when Tupper's Prov
erbial Philosophy was taken se-
riously, it was customary to quote
from it the excellent statement, ga
babe in a house is a well-spring of
pleasure" Certainly the little atom
of mortality in its cradle is the
centre of peace and subdued quiet,
while it is asleep; and from the
moment of its waking centre
possibly a storm-centre-of do
mestic activity. The curious thing
is that this lovable little object is
also the citadel around which the
fercest contests of reformer and
conservative are apt to be waged.
Those who are contending against
any change in the rights or condi-
tions Of woman do it for the sake
of "baby." Rally round the home!
is their persistent war-cry. On the
other hand, those who would
change these conditions assert that
they are working in the interest of
"baby" also. Thus each side makes
the cradle it's citadel; each side
waves the same flag, as when two
rival claimants are contending for
the same throne. The object Of
all alike is to defend the cradle,
although the process leads them to
wholly opposite conclusions.
There is in the last report of the
National Museum at Washington
a curious engraving of stuffed
group of the bird called the horn
bill. When these birds have built
their nest the female retires to it.
and is walled in by the male, a
hole being left through which she
puts forth her beak to be simply
fed by him, until her young shall
be hatched. This picture repre-
sents the process of feeding, the
husband being perched chival-
rously on a branch. 1t might hang
as decoration in multitudes of
human households, where very 4
much the same ideal of domes-
ticity prevails. In these families
and many of them, for instance,

herself up with that military strut,
then grasps at worm, tears it
