The Mortgage Burned.

| ODE of the most enjoyable evenings OF
Fne season was the occasion of the Lawn
social and musical at w. s. Haish's last
evening. The place is n of the mos.
handsome and pleasant in the city and
Mr.. Hash is an untiring worker to keep
the lawn, trees and everything about
this ideal home up to the top notch in
point of order. The house and lawn
were nicely arranged and handsomely
decorated with many hundred Japanese
lanterns supended from wires stretched
among the trees entire around the large
magnificent plot of grass, producing a
very handsome and delightful effect. A
tent had been put up just east of the
lawn for the pleasure of the little folks
and you may depend that they a%ppreciat-
ed and enjoyed the arrangement.
The Webster Cornet Band paid the
ladies in charge a compliment by max
ing its first appearance publ, ally at the
social. The boys were enthusiastically
received by the large crowd in atteu-
dance. They rendered several line
selections and each number was en-
chored to the echo. When you TAX
into consideration the short time they
have been together, but a couple OF
weeks, the boys acquitted themselves
very creditably, much better than any
one could expect. Success to the band
say we. A common remark among the
hearers was, show nice il is TO have u
band again. Right here we rise to
remark thai in this band Webster shas
an organization of whichishe may Well
feel proud, aud 1t remains with the
citizens whether it shall continue to be
a credit to the city or cease to exist soon
be "a thing Of the past. We have! been
crying for a baud. now we have n let
each citizen make himself a committee
of one to encourage and help maintain
the band, not simply by applause-ttat
is cheap, and IL takes more than glory to
buy music and pay other necessary ex'
penses. Give the boys a liberal support
and they will do tho rest.

Ashes and Acid Phosphate.

w. NJ. Hazel. Hazelton. S. C.-Would
wood ashes and acid phosphate make "a
good fertilizer for cotton on ordinary
clay land that has been IN cultivation
two years? Was originally oak forest.
II so, what proportion and how much
per acre.
Answer-Ashes and acid phosphate
mixed and put IN the soil together would
result In reverting. In some degrees, the
soluble phosphate acid OF the phosphate.
so soon as the mixture becomes moist I'm
the soil 1t would be preferable 10 put
each in separate furrow. or partly cover
one before adding the other. Ashes sup
ply mainly potash, and their content OF
potash IS generally an unknown guam
thy" owing to their very variable char
acter If they are well burned hardwood
ashes and have been kept dry YOU may
safely assume that they contain about
per cent of potash. or about tWo-thirds
as much potash as kainit carries. and a
proper proportion with n IA per cent acid
phosphate (fOr cottOn) r. 200 pounds of
acid phosphate and 90 pounds OF ashes.
If no more than 290 pounds Of the mix
ture be applied per acre on the second
years land perhaps no nitrogen would be
necessary; but if YOU use as much as
400 or 800 pounds add say 100 pounds OF
cotton meal.

rub well in 10 all affected parts the fol-
lowing ointment: Two ounces OF sulphur

cotton seer at ~ per ton or meal at SIS
per ton or would you advise the use Of
either at the above named prices?
Answer-See formula given in reply To
W. NJ Wallace above. Cotton meal alone
is not the best application for corn or
anything else. 1t should be applied say
week before planting; certainly not
after planting. Applying fertilizers dur
ing the growing of the crop is not ad-
vised. excepting nitrate of soda.
FTght hundred mounds OF meal are
equal to 1900 pounds of seed for fertiliz-
ing. When meal is worth SIS a ton cot
ton seed would be worth about $3.50
ton. Therefore the meal at SIS is cheaper
than the seed at s.

While 1t is true that you can make n

but the stable manure-applying

mic results the present year. say two

TO 80 pounds of acid phosphate, strewn

ON the part intended for cotton apply
the same amount of manure and for
fifteen to twenty-five pounds OF muriate
of potash per acre. OF course. 1t is
assumed that the manure is decomposed,
or rotten, otherwise 1t will not be very
