The Music culture club.

Editor Morning News: AS the card in
to-day's paper from the management of
the Music Culture Club speaks rather dis
paraglngly of the generosity or fair-mind-
edness of former subscribers to the club.
few words of reply from one of the
latter may be proper.
Last year the club, on an assessment
of only S, gave six concerts. some of
which were excellent, and all good enough
to make an abundant return on the small
outlay. However, the general expression
of opinion of subscribers was that fewer
concerts of higher class would be prefer
able; that is, it would be better to have
two or three really high-cla entertain
ments than six of even the very best that
could be had for the means in hand.
Now, the card referred to, lays on the
alleged musical people of savannah all
the blame for the announced abandon
ment of the undertaking this season An
impartial observer, however, would prob
ably say that the club management are
themselves almost entirely responsible
They reduced the proposed number OF
concerts TO five, but raised the amount OF
Individual subscription from IS to SIS. II
goes without saying that the larger part
of expected subscribers were not pre-
pared for an Increase of 200 per cent, and
the club management should have first
taken the sense of the meeting" on the
question.
The management of the club merits and
enjoys the thanks and appreciation of the
community for their disinterested serv.
ices and for successful results of the past
but it does not look fair to charge against
public, not near all of which are mil
lionaires, the unfortunate results OF whai
seems their own injudicious action.
BY all means do not abandon the club
it is not too late yet for good results.

soll that has plenty OF humug. as a rule.

Soil that has plenty of humus, as a rule,
has plenty of nitrogen
Adopting the practice, while the soil is
still in good heart'-capable of producing
% bushels of corn or 400 pounds of lint a
full crop of Bur or Crimson clover or even
OF sofa bean or Wonderful peas allowed
to die on the land and the dead remains
then turned under will restore enough hui
mus and collaterally, nitrogen. to keen
the land in normal condition for three
years. 1t may or may not be necessary to
use some potash and phosphoric acid year
iy TO enable the soil to produce a maximum
crop.
But there is a vast range in the produc-
ing capacity of fertile soils. An acre that
produces 400 pounds of lint is rightly con-
sidered good soil, yet an acre can be made
to produce or 6 times this quantity.
Wherein does the difference consist?
Chiefly in the amount of humus contained
in the soil. The fertility of a soil is to be
measured by its contents of humus.
How important it is that we should fully
comprehend this important truth.

Rye Much Better Than Nothing.

1t will always be matter for dispute
whether rye is a crop worth sowing or
not. Many believe 1t is about as poor a
crop as one could sow, hardly worth fool
ing with" Then, again, there are many
who assert that it is an extremely valu-
able crop. Now, there is a happy mean
always to every question of the kind so
disputed. To some farmers rye is not a
actly suited to the crop. They haven't
the particular kind Of stock that can
make rye crop perfectly available
There are other crops much more val
liable, that It does not cost any more to
produce than rye, but Of one thing / am
sure, and. that is man had better have
a goodly acreage of rye than not to have
anything green and succulent in the win
ter and early spring. Some stock, per-
hans all, will not touch rye If they can
get any other kind of green stuff but
when they find that it is rye or nothing
it will not be long before it is eaten with
apparent avidity. Rye is usually a sure
crop 1t will make stuff tall enough to
cut when other plants will not. A bite
even Of green is worth great deal to stock
in the winter and spring, when they have
been confined to dry feed for so many
weeks. The green is craved just as much
as a dish of salad is craved by human
beings in the early spring. The rye is
an Alternative. 1t tones up the system, cor
reefs impaired digestion, acts on the kid
neys. 1t is rare that a few acres Of rye
will be tout of place." c. A. s.

In the past few months our columns
has contained numerous suggestions about
celery growing. w. H. NJ. perhaps has
overlooked such matter.
Celery requires rich, moist soil and
without irrigation, it is difficult to make
its culture satisfactory.
|. 1t is easy enough anywhere in Georgia
to grow celery from sowings in Jan
uary. The crop to mature in June or July
Cor May even), but it requires very nice
management and facilities for irrigation
to grow the crop to mature in November
This implies summer or early autumn SOW
ing of the seed.
1t is rare that the winter weather is
severe enough in your section to injure
celery that is set out in November or De-
cember and that ripens in March or April
We presume this is the kind of crop YOU
contemplate growing.
Prepare rich seed beds and provide your
self with good seeds of the Golden Self
Branching variety Sow very shallow in
drills six inches apart, firming the soil
and watering freely. Cultivate the young
plants freely and hasten their growth AS
soon as they develop some roots take up
and replant into a rich bed 3x3 inches
apart, and let them grow and become
strong and stalky, and have them ready
| to set out into the final bed in January
and in February.
If you adopt the bed plan which we
think is the better plan, have beds four
| feet wide and any length, and set four
rows on each bed and have the plants
eight by ten inches apart in the row. Get
the plants to growing off nicely, then with
| pine straw mulch between them as heavi-
! ly as possible. Then it is a mere question
of plenty of water. Later bleach by
! covering with straw or wrap with paper
| if you choose. If you prefer you can set
out in rows or 21a feet apart in open
ground, and have plants eight to twelve
| inches in the row This allows of a use
of harrow or sweep to stir the soil between
the rows. But with a crop so valuable as
celery one win not begrudge doing the
! necessary stirring of the soil with hand
sweep or scufle hoe. Mulching and wa
| terng does the most of the work. If you
! keep up with our columns closely you will
find further suggestions in following
| numbers.

Fertilizer for Corn and oats.

r. Fl. C. writes: us a fertilizer which
is guaranteed to contain per cent. nit
rogen, per cent. phosphoric acid and
per cent. potash a good fertilizer for corn
and oats? / am to use $50 or 300 pounds
per acre on oats this fall. Would this
be a good application?
This is a very fair fertilizer for corn or
oats if it contains that much Of the es-
sential elements in an available form that
is, the crop can make use of all of it
during its growing season. In applying
such fertilizer to oats in October or No
vember, use care not to put it too deep
Merely harrow It in lightly If there
should be much rain before the growing
season in spring, considerable waste may
occur, with the nitrogen especially. We
do not know but what il would be better
to apply only half at the time Of sowing
and reserve the other half and use as a
top dressing in January or February.
Whether you adopt this suggestion in
toto or not, we would advise you, for the
sake of the information involved. to test
the matter. If only in a small way-an acre
or so, say. Some might allege that
manure for corn or oats should contain
more potash than the above, and no doubt
II would be improved by having or 3
per cent. more of that mineral. still, 1t
is a very fair fertilizer, and 800 pounds
Of il should have a very decided effect
upon the crop, whether 1t will really pay
a decided profit.

Linseed Meal Versus Cotton Seed
Meal.

inseed meal or cotton seed meal? What
is linseed meal made from and what is
the usual price for it?
Linseed meal is derived from fax seed
in the same manner that cotton meal is
derived from cotton seed 1t is very
largely used at the north for feeding, to
cattle, especially to milk cows. The price
we believe there averages about $25 per
ton, about the same as cotton seed meal
there What it would command in Mid
die Georgia, at Macon for instance, we
cannot say.
Analysis credits linseed meal as a feed
ing stuff with the following:
Albuminoids (protein) .S3 per cent
Carbohydrates Starch, sugar,
etc.) ........... .........-........5S per cent
Fat .............. ...............3 to per cent
Crude fiber ........................9 per cent
Water ......... ...................10 per cent
OF these elements cotton seed meal con-
tains the following:
AlbuminoidsF ........... ........42 per cent
Carbohydrates ........... ........% per cent
Fat .......... ........''....'o TO 10 per cent
Crude fiber ........-...'..''.. 10 per cent

Judged by analysis the cotton seed meal
is decidedly richer than the linseed. That
is. richer in the nitrogenous compounds
that makes flesh and muscle, but in car
bohydrates heat and fat produces the lin
seed is the richer.

There is no better recipe than the fol-
lowing: Make a strong brine that will
float a fresh egg, or, in other words, to
every ten gallons of water add fifteen
pounds of salt, then add five ounces of
saltpeter, five pounds brown sugar and
ten tablespoonfuls common baking soda
carbonate soda), add also. if you have it
handy, a quart of molasses. Add also
five or six ounces of red pepper and one
ounce of all-spice. These are not essen
tai, but it makes the beef nicer.
If you expect to use the beef imme-
diately, that is inside of two or three
months, this brine need not be boiled, but
if you want to keep it longer than this
boil the brine and pour on to the beef
while hot. OF course, skim the boiling
brine Cut the beef into small pieces,
two to six pounds, and pack them in the
vessel solidly. Put weight on the beef,
so as to keep it well under the brine,
then cover closely.
If you put down any great quantity it
will be safer to boil the brine of most
of it.
We need not tell you that 1t is not i'm
perative to observe the exact proportions
given, but those given have been found
reliable, and you had better observe them
as closely as possible. You can use jar,
or keg, or barrel, but whatever it is let
it be perfectly clean and sweet.
