Thurston is a darby of old-time ideas
who has charge of a silk mill at Fay
etteyille. n. C. There are under his
CHARGE over three hundred men,
women and children Of his own race,
The mill has always been noted for
the discipline of its employees, and
northern newspaper correspondent
recently took occasion to investigate
and learn the secret of Thurston $
success. When asked how he handled
his mill hands so well, Thurston said
that the first thing necessary in such
an institution is discipline; and then
when the questioner asked if this was
obtained by a system of fines, the an
syer was: NO, sir! BY whipping.
The hrlv negro superintendent says
that he accepts no hands for the mhl
unless they are given absolutely into
his control for all the time between Q
in the morning and in the evening,
and as such authority may be legally
conferred there he is answerable to
no one but himself for what he does.
Light corporal punishment is of no

1t is claimed by some farmers that
corn stalks can not be saved in the
southwest as in the north and west,
that they become too dry and woody,
and even if shredded will not be eaten
by cattle, They tell us that unless
the corn stands in the field until the
corn is hard that there will be great
loss in grain. They have, or at least
many of them have, the idea that the
corn must be gathered and the stalks
cut afterwards, because the universal
custom has been to gather the corn
from the stalks as they stand in the
field. If they will wait until the ker.
nels are well glazed, and then cut and
shock the corn closely, the substance
remaining in the stalks will be sufi-
cent to mature the corn, aud the
stalks themselves will not dry out as
they would standing in the field. The
corn may then be pulled from the
stalks and the stalks hauled to the
shredder and made into a nutritious
hay, or they may be put through a
cutter and made into silage, and if
mixed with pea vines will make a feed
about equal in value to the whole
corn silage. 1t is an enormous waste
of feed to let the corn stalks dry up

Cotton hull ashes is an alkaline
phosphate, an article of great merit,
especially adapted to sugar, cotton,
tobacco and potato growing on ac-
count OF the large proportion of ear
Donate of potash present, this form
of alkaIi being the most valuable one
known for that purpose. When COM
bined with the large quantity of phos-
phoric acid it forms an alkaline, not
an acid phosphate. As found in the
market the analyses vary from Is to
20 per cent. potash, and from E to 10
per cent. phosphoric acid.
A quality that analyses 2G5 per
cent, potash and rs per cent. of phos-
phoric acid contains five times the
quantity of these ingredients there is
in the hard wood ashes, taking the
average of AIS analyses made at the
Hatch experiment station, Amherst
Mass.
Among the important purposes
which the alkalies serve in reference
to vegetation is TO dissolve vegetable
matter and carry it into the roots
| that make four soluble silicates. and
thus supply the necessary silicious
matter to the stems of the grasses
and other plants. Rising as they ma
turally do to the surface of the soil,
| there in the presence of the vegetable
matter they provoke the formation
of nitrates, so wholesome to vegeta-
| bic life. Potash or soda in the form
of carbonate mot sulphates or mu-
rates. acts benefcially upon vegeta-
ton by preparing the organic matter
of the soil for entering into the roots
of plants and administering to their
growth.
This preparation may be affected
either by their combination directly
with the organic matter, as they are
| known to do with the humic and
other acids which exist in the soil
or by their disposal of this organic
matter at the expense of air anG
moisture to form new chemical com
pounds, which will be capable of en-
tering into the vegetable circulation
The decomposing influence of the al
kalies and even of lime is familiar tt

carbonates of potash and soda car

In the matter Of saving work in the

There is also a great saving in eat
