THE USE OF FERTILIZERS.
An Experimental Farm to be Estab
lished in the East.

Prof. B. W. Kilgore. State Chemist
left yesterday for the Eastern part Of
the State to select location for an ok.
pertinent farm, TO be conducted under
the supervision of the State Board Of
Agriculture.
The towns of Goldsboro, kinston
Niewberm Tarboro. Greenville, Rocky
Mount and Wilson will be visited. 1t i
the idea OF Prof Kilgore and the board
to establish this farm for experimental
field work, and its location will he gov
erned entirely by the character of the
soil.
1t is the idea Of the board to select
some average soil as nearly az possible
Of the whole Eastern section of the
State. Some ten or fifteen acres will be
required. Ii the farm proves a practi-
cad success others will be established
in other parts of the State, in soils OF
different character. If the farm il not
d success II will be discontinued.
1t is a well known fact that much
fertilizer is absolutely wasted by being
nut on land for which it is not suited
On a certain kind Of soil certain SORT
Of fertilizer may be totally unfit for use
for the reason that the soil does not re-
quire the chemicals that are in that
particular fertilizer. On another sort OF
land this particular fertilizer may be
the very thing needed.
1t is to determine this question--and
it can only be determined by practical
scientific experiment-tha these farms
are to be established

With the New Year fresh Stationery,

long ago: II can get cheaper books
and cheaper printing, but / have discov-
cred by one trial that they are not so
good and not what / want, and am
not going anywhere else for my books

We do not cldaim to be the cheapest

do claim, and positively affirm that we
will furnish printing and binding as
cheap as any house in this country for

Preparatory to the opening and opera
ton of its new North and-South line this
Spring, the lSeaboard has given an order
for fifty new engines, to be built at once;
and for 200 ventilated fruit ears, to be
used in the Florida fruit and vegetable
trade.
These cars are to be built by the Bal
timore Car Works. The engines will be
built twenty-five of them by the Rich
mond Locomotive Works, fifteen by the
Baldwin works, at Philadelphia, and ten
by the international Power Company, at
Providence, Rhode Island.
Delivery of the engines will begin in
April, and that of the cars in February.
The twenty-five engines ordered from the
Richmond Locomotive and Machine
Works are ten-wheel freight moguls.
Twenty of the others are to be mann
moth eight-wheelers for the passenger
service, and five are to be switch en-
gines OF the latest type.

There is money i'm wrecks-for the
wreckers.
Within the past few months there
have been enough wrecks to give the
business a fair test and establish data
for future enterprises of the same
kind. The hui which bought the wreck
and the cargo of the ship Edward
O'Brien has more than tripled its
money, and coal is still coming i'm at
the rate of POO bags a week. In addi-
ton Windlass that cost $500, several
capstans and about 80 fathoms of chain
remain to be sold.
The hui paid $3.50 for the wreck and
$62j for the cargo. The cargo consist
ed of about $500 tons of coal and a
deck load of lumber. OF the coal
about 1000 tons have already been Sc
cured and it is still coming in. Most
of it has been gathered by men work
ing on a lay" Much of the lumber
washed ashore and was saved. The
copper with which the ships bottom
was sheathed has been one source of
profit. Some of the tackle and fur
nishings Of the ship were saved and
have been another source of income.
The ships timbers and planking have
found a ready sale for tirewood at fig
ures that more than paid for the cost
of securing them.
The Edward O'Brien has proved a
good thing for the purchasers.
The purchaser of the city Of Column

afterwards for $4,000, So it is said.

had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered 30 much
that she became but the shadow Of her
self. One day / happened to read tes-

Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes OF Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
