A new COTTON CODE.
The Shepperson About to be
discarded.

Cotton to be Quoted in Ton Bulk Lik
Cotton Seed ~ A Revolution In tn
Handling.
The following appeared in the Times
Democrat, New Orleans.
In view of probable chang ed meth
DDS of marketing cotton, should the
South present the trade next year with
another monster crop, it is rumored
that a new cypher code is. being com
piled to replace the Shepperson code,
as the latter solely treats of handling
cotton by 100 bale lots.
The new code, it is understood, will
treat of handling cotton in 100 or 1000
ton lots, or fractions thereof, very
much as cotton seed is now marketed.
In other words, if an interior town
buyer offers to the ports or Liverpool
his telegraphic inquiry in the new code,
say represented by the word "Bns-
ter" would mean; I" What is the best
offer for 227 tons middling to strict
good color, Liverpool class"
The new code should also commend
itself to the consideration of mer-
chants doing business with the Missis-
sippi river and its tributaries. For in
stance, when consignor makes ship
ment to cotton factor in New Orleans
by employing the code word "Bully''
it would mean: ~ ship today and
have drawn against twenty three tons
strict low middling to middling, good |
staple, per steam boat"
The new code, in it's "ton feature"
,an be used for the cotton seed as well
rs cotton business, therefore it pre-
'ents great advantages over the Shep-
person code.
1t will not be offered on sale until
is seen next November if Mr.. Neill
gain shocks the cotton centers with
mother 10,25O,O minimum, grown,
licked and baled crop (not commercial
rop).
In the event of another $500, 900 to
0 100000 crop, it requires no active
Intellect to see that cotton before
hristmas would sell SO low that bal
,g it up with bagging and ties
'ould be an expensive luxury.

LARGE TOWS of Coal.

A group of old rivermeu were talk
ing yesterday about the immense tows
taken down the river by some of the
big Pittsburg tow wboats, and one of
them recalled that fifteen years ago,
when the Joseph B. Williams took q
tow of 26 coalboats from Louisville to
New Orleans, it was thought that the
limit had been reached. But since
then the same boat has taken 40 coal
boats, besides her fuel barges. Last
winter she took two such tows to New
Orleans. This nlmber of boats would
contain 10000 bushels OF coal, or 49,
600 tons, twice as much as would
freight a great ocean steamer The i'm
mense momentum which such mass
obtains when moving down stream
makes it very hard to steer, and the
pilots have no sinecure in guiding it
around the bends of the river and
where the current is swift. 1t is not
likely that the limit is yet reached,
and it is possible that the Williams or
some other big boat may take out
more than forty boats at once.-Pitts-

Cotton FdCtoru.

We see from the Kosciusko Star that
the people of that prosperous and en-
terprising trade center, and county,
have organized and appointed officers
and canvassing agents for the purpose
of organizing a cotton factory COM
pany with a capital of 100000. From
the interest manifested in the enter
prise, and the earnestness with which
the project seems to inspire the people,
who are said to be able to raise the
amount of money required, there seems
to be some reason for the success OF
the underta king.
The Canton times., 1895-02-15
Cotton,

To any of our farmers who are con.
templating planting long staple cotton
this year, we would warn them that
the importation of Egyptian cotton.
which reaches above one million bales,
into this country, completely cuts off
all profit from such class of cotton. be-
cause it is of longer and more silky
staple than any we can produce, owing
to the kind of cotton and climatic in-
iuences under which it is grown. Be-
sides, experience has proven that the
price of long staple cotton must be
double the shorter staples to conpen-
safe for the lesser yield of lint, and
it requires extremely rich land to keep
the lint from shortening. The cotton
farmer who raises the kind of cotton
that produces the greatest number of
pounds to the acre, that natures the
earliest, and gathers it the cleanest,
will reap the greatest money value
from this crop. Cotton of early ma
turity escapes the hot weather of Au-
gust and worms, is more apt to be
gathered without loss, and comes into
market when prices are apt to he best.
The cluster varieties are ranked
the earliest, and are the most
productive on good strong land, and
ibis is the only kind of soil upon which
,ot only cotton but any crop can be
proftably grown.

Wild Beasts Invade Farms.

The continued snow has driven the
bears and panthers from their hiding
places, and a report gets here from
Danville, Yell county, Ark, to the
effect that bear ran off with the
4-year-old child of David Baker, a
farmer living near that place, while
Mrs. Baker was out milking the cows,
Farmers residing along the Saline

True Farm POliCu.

Conventions, the secular and agri-
cultural press, and public speakers,
have all had their say as to the course
the farmer should pursue during the
year to bring prosperity, but none of
these influences will be so potent of
influence with the sensible, practical,
farmer, as the circums tances of his
individual surrounding and financial
condition, in determining mis- course
of action. Each farmer must act on his
own judgment, as he alone can lift his
condition from debt TO independence.
No convention, no bowling. no legisla-
tion. no power on earth, can do this
for him. He must stand alone and
rise or fall thereby. The disposition
of all farmers in this county to rely on
merchants for help has been their nm
doing. 1t would frighten the average
farmer to an alarming extent If he
realized that the props and supports
of the past or credit was to be
withdrawn. To this condition of self
reliance and independence however, he
m1st come, or serfdom and bankrupt
.cy be his future lot. Credit has been
the bane Of this country. and it's cur
tailment is its only hope of redemp
tion. Economy and work are the
watchwords of liberty for every tiller
of the soil. Partially starve rather
than go in debt beyond your means,
and work every day, and success is
bound to come. As to what should be
grown by the general farmer in this
section, as main crops, outside of spec
ialities, we would express in three

Successful Southern Farmers

AS illustrating what energy and
thrift can accomplish on a southern
farm, tie Southern States Magazine
refers to the case of family of broth
ers that settled in Arcadia parish,
Louisiana, about six years ago, with
only few hundred dollars. They are
now worth 100000. They have on
hand from this seasons harvesting 1O,-
600 barrels of rice, which they say has
cost them less than $40, 900 to produce,
counting expenses Of every sort. The
10000 barrels will be sold at price, to
net $40 per barrel and upward. What
these brothers have done other people
can do. There are in the south today
as good agricultural opportunities as
were ever taken advantage of.-Savan-
nah (Ga.) News.
The Canton times., 1895-02-15

words. corn, cotton, and peas. First
secure beyond any possible contingent
cy, the greatest abundance Of corn for
all uses for all kindslof stock, as It is
the most economically raised, and
most reliable feed under all condi-
tions. Next have pea vine hay in am
pie quantity for the most liberal kind
of feeding of all stock, as everything,
even hogs, greedily devour every stem
and leaf These two feeds with cotton
seed and its products will subserve
every purpose of animal food, and can
be easily and abundantly grown with
unvarying certainty in our climate.
Then cotton can be surplus and
money crop. OF course every farmer
should raise potatoes, moiasses, vege
ia bles, meat and dairy products, for
home consumption. But we do not be-
lieve in too much diversity. If cotton
as a money crop is abandoned, then
the farmer should, devote himself to
some other speciality, as trucking,
sweet or irish potatoes, dairying, hog
.aising, hay, stock raising, etc. Sue
less however, can only be obtained by
'ur giving to whatever pursuit chosen,
more attention to land improvement
md increased production on given
rea, and closer and better business at
ention, and calculation than in the
aSt.

H0fSeShoein0,

The following rules are given as the
experience of one well versed in shoe.
ing:
1. The foot should have only so
much horn removed from it at each
shoeing as is necessary for the proper
fitting of the shoe and no more.
2. The frog should take bearing
Oh the ground, but no other part OF
the hoof should be weakened to give
this healthy action.
3. Shoes cannot be too light if they
give sufficient wear.
4. The width of shoe need be no
more than is necessary to cover the
bearing surface.
5. Nails are the most secure and
simple fastenings for horseshoes, and
a properly driven nail never does any
harm.
6. The most important requisite in
horseshoeing is the adoption of a cor
rect system not the use of any special
form of shoe.
z. All shoes should have a level
bearing on the foot, extending from
the toe to the heel
8. The ground surface of shoe
should follow the form of the ground
surface of an unshod foot which has

tions into the hoof and BY pressure

injurious.
II. No advantage follows the reten-
tion Of shoes on foot for more than
four weeks. as the growth of the horn
in that time produces a disproportion-
ate hoof. If in this time shoe is not
worn out it should be removed.

Small Troubles.

A philosopher suggests that If you
would keep book and every day put
down things that worry you, and see
what becomes of them, it would be a
benefit to you. You allow a thing to
annoy you just as you allow fly to
settle on you and plague you, and you
lose your temper, and you justify your
self in being thrown off your balance
by causes which you do not trace out.
But, if you would see what it was that
threw you off your balance, and put it
down in your little book, and follow
out and see what becomes of it, you
would see what a fool you were in the
matter. The art Of forgetting is
blessed art, but the art of overlooking
is quite as important. And if we
should take time to write down the
origin, progress, and outcome of a few
IF our troubles, it would make us
of the fuss we made over
hem, and we should be glad to drop
'uch things, and bury them at once in
eternal forgetfulness. Life is too
hort to be worn out in petty worries,
rettings, hatreds and vexations. Nurse

National Cane Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS op
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of it's former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work Of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount Of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being rs
to 78 per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part of it
being hard ratoons.

require very little care or
