containing 500 wounded insurgents,
and put to death all of them, even the

A Convenient Invention.

An Orangeburg farmer comes to the
front with a new invention in the
shape of Lubricator for oiling We
hicle wheels without taking them off
the axle. 1t is inserted in the hub
between two of the spokes. When
you want to grease your wheel all you
have to do is to withdraw a plunger,
which operates with spring, and put
as much oil as is needed on the axle.
Upon being released the spring closes
up the oil hole until it is opened for
oiling up again. 1t is very ingeni-
GUS and clever device. and is bound to
be used generally. With these lubri-
Gators a vehicle can be oiled up any
where along the road in less than one
minute. The patent for this valuable
invention is owned by the National
Lubricator Company of Orangeburg,
s. Q. Mr.. Jas. L. Sims, Editor and
Proprietor of the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat, is the manager OF the
company, which is guarantee that it
is all right. The company wants an
agent in this county to sell the Lubri-
Gators. See advertisement in another

FATTENlNG THE STOCK.
How 1t Increases the Incom q of Louisiana
Farmers.

Farmers.
The following address was delivered
by Prof. D. n. Barron, before the
Louisiana State Agricultural society
at Lafayette, L., Jan. %, 1896:
Mr.. President, Ladies' and Gentle
men-The subject of 'The Fattening
of Stock as an Adjunct to the Income
of Louisiana Farmers is one in which
1 take great interest. 1t has grown to
be quite the custom for oil mills and
wealthy individuals to purchase each
fall number of cattle and fatten them
for the market But this is only done
by wealthy parties, and the idea seems
somewhat to prevail that it is only
profitable when done ON a large scale {.
My observations are, that not only is
this supposition erroneous, but, on the
Contrary, the oil mill or individual
who fattens on a large scale is able to
reap a much smaller profit than he
who feeds a few head on his farm.
The reason for this fact, trust, will
be apparent before have finished this
paper. Last August it was my priv

THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
At the conclusion of Governor Ell

ced that Lieutenant-eiect McSweeney
was present and ready to be sworn
into Office, and the oath was duly ad-
ministered to him by Chief Justice
McIver. Lieutenant Governor Nc
Sweeney deviated from the custom
and delivered most happy speech, In
which he said: 1t is not my intention
on this occasion to make you any ad'
dress, but want to take this occasion
and opportunity to most sincerely
thank you and the good people OF the
State, of which I am so proud, for the
confidence expressed in me.
What brief remarks l will have to
make will be delivered in the Senate.
I only want to say that it will be my
pleasure and duty to work with the
Governor in the promises he has made
you, which know he will carry out,
so that when his Administration is
closed he will receive the deserved
plaudits. Ipledge myself to second
your Governor in his every effort, to
do the best that can be done for the
people of the State in giving them q
wise and just Administration, and I
trust when his term of Office comes to
a close the people will say, ''Thou
hast been good and faithful serv-
ant"
This happy little speech was kindly
received.
Thus ended the inaugural ceremo-
nies, and the procession returned.

1000 lbs. one ton; total cost. ...$15. 90
Thus you see that you could put 40O
pounds per acre at a cost OF So. 90 per
acre, or 200 pounds per acre at cost
of $1.50 per acre.
Now the planter has gotten this year
an average price of Is cents per bushel
for cotton seed. He usually puts 20
bushels of seed per acre, which at 10
cents per bushel makes cost TO him
of So. 90 per acre to fertilize. In addi-
ton to this, he buys acid and kainit to
put with the seed. 1t is for you to say
whether you would rather have 20
bushels of cotton seed per acre or 400
pounds of the above fertilizer which
every 90 bushels of seed you have sold
this year will enable you to buy.
FATTENING CATTLE.
On this subject we do with you as in
our article on fertilizers, namely pub
lish the advice of distinguished parties,
people supported by the planters of the
various States for the purpose OF find
ing out what is to your interest. We
can tell you, that only five years ago
every pound of hulls were burned by
the oil mills in this State as we did,
net then appreciate their value as
food. Now over 10000 tons of hulls
are sold in this State alone for feed.
"For fattening cattle for the beef
market put from four to five pounds
of meal with twenty pounds of hulls.
Below we quote the advice of State
authorities.
Sir John Lawes says (see State New
Jersey Agricultural Report, 1885:
Surprise is often expressed at the
much higher prices which Eng lish
farmers pay for linseed and cotton
cake or meal as compared with corn,
but the reason is to be found in
the much higher manure value OF the
meal. I have often wondered at the
high prices which the United States
farmer appears willing to pay for nitro
gen in artificial manures, when he
might obtain thes manures at much
lower cost by simply feeding cotton
seed cake or meal. The nitrogen con-
tanned in these goods, with the excep-
ton of the small amount retained by
the animal, passes into the excrements
in the form of organic compounds OF
nitrogen. These compounds nitrify
in the soil with very different degrees
of rapiditv. A certain portion OF
those found in the urine nitrify very
readily while some of those in the
solid excrements may remain for sew
eral years in the soil. Experience
has shown that when these foods are
used upon a poor soil for the first time
their effect is not at first what it be-
comes later on when they have been
in use for few years. This is due to
the slow decay of some of the COM
pounds. A crop grown by the eighth
application of meal may in part be
grown by small portions of the meal
used in each of the previous seven ap-
plications. The ultimate decay of Or
ganic substances in the soil must de-
pend therefore, upon great variety
of circumstances. and our own expert
ments at Rothmasted supply numer-
GUS instances of the very long period
which may elapse before some man
ures cease to produce an effect upon
the crop to which they have been ap'

PLANTERS, ATTENTION!
Valuable Information for All GLASSES o.
South Carolina Farmers and Stock
Raf6ers,

Knowing that the time has now come
for you to purchase your fertilizers,
we put ourselves to the expense OF pay
ing for the publishing of the follow
ing information for your use. We
have done this for years past, and now
there are hundreds of planters all over
the State that can testify, not only
how much money we have saved them
but as to the good crop results they
have gotten. We do not sell acid
phosphate or kainit, but we do sell
Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls. As we
paw the expense of this advertisement,
all we ask of yoI in return is to ask
your dealer for the Southern Cotton
Oil Co.'S. Meal, for either feed or ferti-
lizer, and for our hulls for cattle feed.
HOW TO FERTILIzE.
This is what many of our personal
friends have tried, and is the language
and advice of the Agricultural Depart
ment of Georgia:
1st. Beyond 81 certain amount it did
not pay to manure-that is, while the
crop might be increased in gross, after
certain outlay had been made IN
manures, further increase diminished
the relative profits.
2nd. That this holds good, as well,
for nitrogenous manures, phosphates
and potash-no matter in what form
administered.
Sd. That all things considered, the
cheapest and most profitable fertilizer
the farmer could use, by actual test,
consists of the following formula:
Acid phosphate. ,25O lbs.
Cotton seed meal. 5OO lbs.
Kainit. nit...........e..... 25O IDS.
4th. That The point of greatest profit
is passed after applying more than AGO
pounds per acre. This formula would
analyze.
Available phosphates. 800 to $50 per
cent.
Ammonia. ia.............2.25 to 2. so per
cent.
Potash. sh.....,..........1.25t .25 to 1.5O per
cent.
We cannot calculate the actual cost
of this fertilizer, for prices vary from
time to time and the rate of freight
varies, but suppose cotton seed meal
costs you $23.00 per ton, acid phos.
phate $1,000 per ton and kainit S14. 90
per ton, all freight paid to your sta
ton, we have:
500 lbs. cotton seed meal at $23. 90
per tom. SIS. 70
1850 lbs. acid phosphate at $1,000
per tor. 7.50
200 lbs. KANT at $14. 90 per ton. l.75
