WEDNESDAY,, JAN. 25, 1899.
January Work.

The month of January should find
the Florida farmer prepared to begin
another years operations with a fixed
purpose to improve on lastyear if pos
sible and profit by his past failures
and practical observations and suc-
cesses.
Flowing should be the order Of the
day. Where fields are lying thick in
crab grass or weeds, al should be
turned under to help put humus in
the soil to assist in making plant food
for the next crops. Where manure is
being saved it should be hauled out,
spread on the land and plowed under.
All the farm should be treated to this
form Of manurmg in rotation and in
a separate manner, for there is really
nothing that VIII put backbone into
land ike stable manure, more partic-
ularN so if produced by stock that
are we'll fed. Red oats can be soWn
this month, but white oats are apt
to rust if put in as late. Some farmers
prefer sowing white oats in spring
but [ never had any success sowing
them this late. The last week of the
month the first planting Of Irish pota-
toes may be done providing the soil
is not too wet if so, wait a little long
er. The Early Rose is favorite varie-
ty as it is a sure cropper.
Ruta Bagas can still be sown. The
Yellow Purple Top is the best variety.
''Southern Snow White Globe" tur-
nips can be sown amy time from now
on, as it is very early variety and
will stand frost better than any other
variety and its quality is the very
best.

Natural Nitrogen.

1nere was SOlU III Tire OldCe Ol
Georgia this season four hundred
thousand toms of commercial feftllz-
ers, in various forms. Probably one
half heterogeneous manures from differ
emit sources, such as cotton seed meal,
tnnkhge dried blood, nitrate of soda,
ground bone, ETC. Taking the valua-
ton of these different fertilizers at
$500 per ton, which is a fair esti-
mate, and allowing nearly One-thlrd
for cost of nitrogen, any farmer can
figure out what nitrogen costs the
farmers in Georgia. Now, let us con-
slider how we can supply this nitrogen
without buying it. Stable manure is
one of THE sources of nitrogen that
can be made use of, and everything in
the form of manure, should be care
fully saved. A waste of manure either
in point of quality or quantity, is full
ly equivalent to a waste Of money.
There are two principal ways inwhich
"a great deal of manure is wasted by
those who design to be careful farm
ers. These are by undue exposure to
the ather and by uncontrolled fer
menttation. Sheds should be provided
to piIe the manure under and to pre-
applic ation of kainit should be ap-
piled as the pile is built up and also
in the STABLES. In order to utilize
what might otherwise be Waste prod
ucts on the farms and also to increase
the quantity and value of the fertiliz-
er. the stables should be we'll supplied
with bedding in order to save as much
of the LIQUID manure as possible. Cot
ton seed is another source OF nitro
gen made on the farm, and it is sup
posed that every Farmer has certain
amount that cam be used either in the
whole or ground up as meal. This is
the cheapest source of nitrogen THAT
Southern farmer can use, providing
he has to buy it. Now, the greatest
source of nitrogen, and the cheapest,
and what every farmer can make use
of, is what is called "green mhnur-
ing although we do not advocate
blowing in leguminous crops, such as
clover and cowpeas, etc., in green
state here at the South, burt farmers
can grow these crops in THE rotation
wit other crops, and by cutting the
forage. to feed out on the farm, and
pillow in the roots, they can furnish
their lands with ali the nitrogen they
want for any succeeding crops.
Now. if the farmers of the North
can grow large crops with clover and
chemicals, why CAN not we do the
same with cowpeas and chemicals,

beets can all be Sown this month, but
it is best not to depend on these SOW
ings for the whole crop of them, in
fact, all these should be sown every
two weeks or so until April so as to
insure a food supply. 1t is far better
to have surplus of plants, even il
you have to throw some away than to
be short of them. Tomato seed can
be sown in shallow boxes and kept in
warm sunny spot-say the south
side of some buiMing-where they
can easily be covered in case of frost
and protected from excessive heavy

Any cabbage or collard plants large
enough to transplant should be set
out in place, but the land should be

as not to scald the young roots if fer

can be sown at any time. 'Giant
White Tripoli'' is the most suitable
variety for this season of the year.
Fruit trees of all kinds should get

little unreasonable to expect to always
nae trump strength accompanied by
long suit as well, nor is the theory
upon which the trump opening is based
founded upon any such condition.
When suit strength is combined with
trumps, that is an added advantage, but
the real object of the trump lead is to
exhaust the adverSarie5; therefore, the
trump opening should be made regard

There is, how one exception to

NINE. ROWLAND'S ADVICE
On THE CARE OF THE SKIN.

Oily skin is hereditary and usually
thick and heavy and should be treated
with great care, as it is in measure
a disease. If the pores be kept well
opened and the skin clean, one need
not fear unpleasant effects. The diff
Guilty in the case of most women who
have oily skins is that they do not take
proper precautions to keep them clean,
and the pores become clogged with i'm
purities. Redness, which usually ac-
companies an oily skin, .js the result
of the poisons from the blood entering
the sebaceous glands and diffusing
, themselves with the oil.
A woman recently came to me for
advice whose oil ducts were SO en-
larged that at e..-1es the oil would
stand on her face in drops, and when
ever powder was applied it formed a
paste. | suggested mode of treat
ment which effected complete cure.
/ said:
Every night you must wash your
face in lukewarm water, using a pure
olive oil soap, then battle the face
thoroughly for ten minutes with a To-
ton made of pint of distilled water
as hot as the face can bear, into which
is put a dram of concentrated ammo
MIA. Thoroughly rinse the face with
very cold water, afterward applying
the following with fine sponge, bath
ing the face and allowing it to remain
during the hours of repose.
A dram of boracic acid and an ounce
of powdered alum, to be dissolved in a
pint of boiling distilled water, allowing
it to cool before using"
The scheme of this treatment Is that
the hot ammonia lotion extracts the
excess Of oil from the skin, the cold
douche stimulates the nerves Of the
ducts, and the boracic acid and alum
lotion is an astringent to contract the
ducts and sebaceous glands.
Besides this, warm soap bath
should be taken every day, as soap dis
solves oil. Plenty of exercise in the
open air is most beneficial, as II has a
tendency to relieve the oil ducts Of tha
face. Care should be taken not to

ing held by the partner, which, by
drawing the trumps, you may help him
to bring in. Although the partner may
occasionally be found with nothing, the
chances are decidedly against this, for
the fact of the leader being weak in
the suits increases his partners like
lihood of being strong.
The short-suit contingent has raised
the contention (until with them it has
become a principle of play) that it is
losing game to open five-ca, d
trump suit, when it is headed by a
nigh terrace, ace-queen, or king-jack,
but experience has taught the more
earnest student of the game that this
objection is of little real weight. and
that the delay caused by waiting for
the terrace to be LED up to is more
risky piece of business than the trump
opening. The novice at whist, waited
first one way and then another by the
many contradictions he hears, should
remember that the reason for opening
a strong trump is rather it's length
than its component parts.-N. Y. Even

LUCK VS.. SCIENCE.

Mr.. Becker. in the Whist Weekly,
enunciates some excellent truisms in
the following:
Good sound scientific whist is often
called luck. When more tricks are
secured in hand than the cards would
seem to warrant, plays that have long
been considered and only waiting OPP
portunity are many times called luck
when the gains made should be attri-
buted to good play. Analysis of the
hand will show fine whist perception.
and careful, shrewd study of the situa-
ton or development and ability to take
advantage of the opportunity present.
ed. 1t is not luck, seven times out of
ten, when man opens with a king of
his suit, holding ace and king to see
what happens, or, in other words, to
secure information. He don't take the
bull by the horns" but feels his way
along until such time as the situation
demands aggressive warfare, and he
knows he can depend ON his partner
for help"
