SMITH WAS NOT DROWNED
A MAN BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
LOST AT SEA TURNED UP
IN ALAMEDA.
QUITE A BATCH OF ACCIDENTS
KEEPS THE STREETS LIVELY
DURING THE DAY.

ALAMEDA, Oct. 17.-Policeman Kamp
was completely taken by surprise few
days ago by visit from his nephew,
w. w. Smith, whom he thought had been
drowned twelve years ago. Young Smith,
who is grandnephew of the first Governor
of California, Peter H. Burnett, told his
relatives In 1883 that he was going to the
Northwest in search of his fortune, and
they were Mortified a few days later to
learn of the wreck of the vessel upon which
he was supposed to have been sailing and
read among the list of passengers the
name of w. w. Smith.
After several years had elapsed and his
relatives hearing nothing from him they
naturally concluded that he had been
drowned.
Officer Kamp was at theatrical per-
formance in San Francisco few years ago

Water as an Electric Conductor.
Mr.. Edison's inventive faculty often
runs in fanclful grooves. Some time ago
he evolved an elaborate scheme for the
electrical defense of fort. He contended
that half the ordinary com plement of guns
could be dispensed with, and in their
stead he would install a powerful dynamo.
Current from this machine would be con-
Quoted by wires to the nozzles of hoses,
carrying a heavy stream of water under
high pressure. These would be placed on
the ramparts, and as the enemy ap-
preached the jet would be turned on. As
water is a gesa conductor, the stream
would be heavily charged with electricity
OF fatal power, and every man within its
radius would be Killed. An Auburn ex-
alderman has just escaped what might
have been unpleasant consequences from
seeking to experiment in the same field of
electrical conduction. He was wetting
down his lawn with his garden hose when
he became suddenly possessed with de-
sire to shoot at the trolley wire, and he
would have done it but for the timely
arrival of the lineman. who advised him
not to. He has since been consulting
electrical authorities on the subject, and,
although there is no certainty that q per-
son who throws water on an electrical
trolley wire will get a shock, the alderman
has come to the conclusion hat he viii
not try it.-New York Times.

The Trail of a Moose.

The trail of a moose, leading some
times for miles together through a
network of fallen debris, the labor of
following him, and to do so climb
ing over and under the innumerable
fallen logs and interlacing branches,
may be moro easily imagined than
described. However weary the hunt
er may be, he must never for one in
slant relax his caution, and in those
large silent woods never, if possible,
break stick.
The moose has an intensely acute
sense of hearing and smelling, and
as, of course, despite all his caution,
when hunting before the snow has
come, the hunter, although mocas-
sin clad, must break sticks SOME
times, he finds frequently, after
working his way on the trail through
ono of these horrible woods, that on
reaching the other side the quarry
has started across q mile Of open
prairie to eek the shelter of a SINH
lar cover on the other side.
AS the moose, even when undis-
turbed, is a tremendous walker,
browsing on the low willows as he
goes, there is no knowing when or
where he will stop again. Things
being thus, it follows that the days
when there is high wind are the
best by far for hunting. Then in the
crashing of the falling branches and
the rafting of the limbs of the trees
the wary brute gets careless and is
easier of approach -Blackwood's
Magazine.

he included its extreme western part,

circuit. He was proceeding by stage

stopped at little station to change

ed looking man, whose most con-
spicuous article of clothing was q
big revovler, approached the stage
cautiously, and while occasionally
glancing nervously at small build
ing, some 100 yards away, with a
large sign of "Postoffice" on it, he
inquired for Mr.. Thurston. That

Showing that while the foreign in
crease has been about 10 per cent, the
American increase has been 200 per
cent, and if we include the crop now on
the market, 210 per cent.
Surely no sensible man can longer
halt between two opinions.
In another column is published a sy.
nopsis of the resolutions adopted by the
jackson convention. Colonel w. A.
Broughton, of Madison, was appointed
president of the Georgia association for
the reduction of the cotton acreage, and
doubtless the planters In each county
will hear from him before the time ap.
pointed for the next meeting. The OBJ
legations are not binding unless rs per
cent of the cotton growers in 80 per
cent of the cotton counties sign the
agreement.
In regard to
OTHER REMUNERATIvE CROPS,
we publish in another column extracts
from ex- Governor Northen's we'll con-
Sldered article, and also some facts OBJ
tanned from prominent dealers and
commission men of Atlanta, who da =
receive car loads Of farm products.
There are at least 30 firms who do an
average business Of $500 a week, each;
their sales being confined to fruits and
the more important articles of table
consumption-eggs, butter, chickens.
onions, Irish potatoes, cabbages, celery.
turnlps, beans, canned corn, tomatoes,
etc. The extracts referred to are taken
from recent issue of The Constitu-
ton.
Let Georgia farmers, with convenient
means OF transportation, demonstrate
that they can be depended upon to pro-
duce these articles of good quality, and
there will be no difficulty in finding a
market. But we would not advise a
hasty or iu-considered plunge into q
new and untried business. Study the
business, and satisfy yourself that you
can produce the crops. But that is
only half the battle. Study the mark
cts and perfect your arrangements for
| dlsposlng of your products, ere they are
ready to be marketed; have all your ar
engagements complete; leave nothing to
change.
WORK FOR THE MONTH.
The cold rains and SHOWS have delay
ed farm work. But something has been
done by wide awake farmers in the
way of repairs, composing and clear
ing land ready for the pillow. February
is the best month for sowing spring
oats; but they will not do we'll on poor,
thin land. The soil should be good or
else made so by manures.
The farm should also be looked after,
the fence made good, rubbish cleared
OF, manure broad cast, and when the
ground is dry enough, plowed in. If a
subsoiler is run in each furrow, so
much the better for good crop of veg
etables and immunity from drouth ef.
fects. In the southern part of the state
Irish potatoes. green peas, lettuce, rad
lshes, cabbages, indeed, all the harder
vegetables, can now be planted in the
! open air and the tenderer varieties in
the hot bed or under glass. The latter
part of the month is safer in the upper
part Of the state. Clover and grasses
may also be sown and whenever the
ground is dry enough the regular field
blowing should go on. Our inquiry
columns this month cover many ques-
tons on these subjects.

REPORT ADOPTED
BY the Cotton Growers Convention Which
Met at Jackson, Miss, Jan. o.

BY the Cotton Growers' Convention Which
Met at Jackson, Miss, Jan. 0.
The committee on organization and
bylaws submitted long report; of
which the following is synopsis
No one shall be q member who is not
a legitimate grower. The association
is formed for one year, and the execu.
tive committee is given power to con.
tinue It longer if good results. The
| agreement TO be sent to ali counties in
the cotton growing states for signatures
Is not to be binding till signed by three
| tourths OF the cotton acreage in 80 per
cent OF the cotton growing counties,
said fact to be determined by the ma
tional committee.
Each member binds himself to paw
two cents for each acre Of cotton plant
ed in 1894, half to be retained in the
counties. the balance to be paid into
the treasury Of the national committee
for general purposes.
The county organizations are to be
| formed on the first Monday OF March,
1885,
The national executive committee
shall be composed of the national pres
ident, who is ex.officio chairman, and
each state is entitled to one member for
every 100, 900 bales of cotton raised in
1890, as shown by the United States
ce1Sus.
III state organizations shall meet at
the state capitals on the third Monday
Of March, 1895, and the national oom-
mittee at New Orleans the first Mon.
day Of April, 1856, which shall asoer.
tain whether the agreement is signed
by the requisite number to make the
same binding. The presidents are chare.
ed with the duty of seeing the agre3.
ments properly distributed for sigma.
lures.
QUESTION How much phosphoric
acid, potash and nitrogen does an aver.
age acre & corn take up, and what is
the best fertilizer for corn?
ANSWER l.-Phosphoric acid, about z
pounds; potash, about pounds; and
nitrogen about pounds This would
indicate fertilizer with a large pro-
portionate percentage of nitrogen. But
it has been found that it does not paw
on hand of average fertility to buy. q
fertilizer with large per Cent Of nitro
gen for corn. Whether the plant as
Stimulates the nitrogen directly from
the atmosphere or through the roots,
after the manner of clover, we do not
know. The fact still remains that, a.
though it requires a large amount of
nitrogen, highly heterogeneous fertilizers
do not pay. The following is a good
formula by per cents: Nitrogen, per
centr potash per cent; phosphoric
acid, G per cent.
