MALLORY's MODE FOR PLANTING CORN.

Lay off your rows with the u inch point
and the medium wings. If you wish
high bed use the large wings. eve prefer
the medium wings.) This will break
your land II inches wide and DEEPER
than you can with ANY TWO HORSE
TURNER. 1t will open a furrow large
enough to bury an ordinary man. The
rows should be laid off as soon as the
ground gets in order and before it gets
hard. This one furrow will box the mid
die and keep it from getting hard for
quite a while.
When you go to plant put in your fertil-
izers and drop your corn.
Take off the Double turner and put on
the Subsoiler and list on the corn with
two burrows. Let the gauge wheel run
in the bottom of the large furrow so the
two subsoil burrows will go inside of the
large furrow. This will subsoil the row
u inches wide and 10 to u inches deep and
will have your corn deep in the ground
and covered shallow. If you plant with
a planter, after you have listed on the
fertilizer with the subsoiler knock OF the
list and run the planter on it. OF course
this will leave the middle unbroken, but 1t
will be undermined on each side with
furrow u inches wide and subsoiled 10 to
u inches deep.
After you have planted your corn, if
you have any fears about the middle get
ting hard, do this: Put on the 12-inch
point with the subsoil body and run one
furrow in the center of each of the I'M
broken middles. Two good ordinary
mules can pull the subsoil with the Pinch
point in these middles from to 10 inches
deep. If you will run this furrow just as
soon as you get your corn planted, it will
not hurt for the team to walk on the

GARDEN TO BE cULTI-
WAITED.

The work of clearing away the rubbish
on the sight on which the new Soldiers
Home building is to be erected was be-
gun last week.
A large force of hands is at work get
ting the grounds in condition for the new
building and should the pretty weather
continue the ground will be ready by the
middle of the week for the first work on
the foundation of the new building.
Practically all of the old foundations
can be used as they have been only slight
~ damaged, and the work of repairing
them will take only a very short time.
The work will be pushed rapidly and the
trustees now see no cause for delay unless
the weather should prove extremely bad.
Col. w. L. Calhoun. the president of the
board Of trustees, wishes to thank the
Virginia and Carolina Chemical company
the Furman Farm and Improvement COM
pany. the Old Dominion Guano company
and the Swift Fertilizer company for a
thousand pounds Of guano contributed by
each to the Soldiers Home. The guano
was very much needed by the home. as a
large garden will be cultivated during the
coming season.
It is expected that all Of the vegetables
used at the home will be raised in the
garden. There is plenty of ground for
cultivation and with the aid Of the 1000
pounds of guano contributed 1t can be
put in splendid condition.

NO. 13 is A H00D00 TO
RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS

Again the number 13 hobs up as a fatal
number. During the past year four
clerks in the railway mail service, fourth
division, have met their death in wrecks.
and in every instance the sum Of the fig
ures making up the number of their COM
mission in the service makes a total OF Is.
Leo @. Murray. of Atlanta, was killed
on February q between Atlanta and Co
lnmbus. The number of his commission
was 3.0l9, the figures OF which added TO-
gether make Is. ]. Aubrey Rice, of jack
sonviIle, was killed between Savannah and
jacksonville on February 3. 1902. His COM
mission was No. 1852. Lawrence j. Court
ney was killed between Augusta and Co
lumbus on May s. 1901. His commission
was No. 35OS. The fourth man killed was
c. E. Rose. of New Orleans. who met his
death on the Illinois Central between
Cairo and New Orleans May 10. 1901. The
sum OF the figures in the number OF Roses
commission was not only equal to Is but he
was killed on the 18th day of the month.
His commission was No. S,2S5.
The curious fact that the only four men
in the railway mail service of the fourth
division who had been killed during the
last year had commissions whose numbers
footed up to the fatal total Is was acct
dentally discovered last Monday. 1t was
noticed that Murrays commission had
this superstitious feature connected with
II and Immediately the numbers Of the
commissions of the other three mail clerks
were looked up.
Since the curious coincidence was dis
covered there has been a general STAN
pede among the mail clerks to have their
commissions numbered so that the I'M
lucky number will not represent the to-
tai Of the figures composing the number
Of their commission.

a37 men which served in the Cuban war.
He says that they were "a fine body of
men," that there were no battlefield cas-
ualties, but that, when mustered out of
the service, only 5,per cent were in as gpod
physical condition as at the time of ennst-
ment, and that 20 per cent were diseased.
OF the number, All have filed claims for
pensions, and they are doubtless entitled
to receive them.
There are several ways in which expen-
diture on account of the Philippine islands
may be repaid if enough is secured there
by Among them are:
l. BY the acquisition of military and
naval bases such as sites for garrisons,
naval stations, coalipg stations. etc.
2. BY money directly paid to the govern
ment.
3. Through the profits to the general
public in increased trade and in the devel-
opment of the productive resources OF the
country.
Confirming the inquiry for the present to
the compensation directly to the govern
ment, the first above mentioned may here
be passed without other mention than that
the United States, by their selection, can
in the Philippines take such harbors and
sites for those purposes as they may deem
proper and no one can or Will say them
nav, but no one will contend that the
value of such sites will balance the &C
count.
AS to the subject of the compensation
of a government for war expenditure the
fact is recalled that during the past year
Mr.. Chamberlain submitted to the house
of commons a statement of the plan for
the reimbursement of the British govern
ment for the expenditures in the Boer war
by issuing bonds for the full amount
which were to be entirely paid by exac-
tions levied upon property situated with
in the territory formerly comprising the
two South African republics. The gov
eminent of the United States cannot in
this case reimburse itself by that method.
A war indemnity cannot properly be ex-
acted from the Philippines as in the case
of a defeated foreign country, and, for
that and other reasons, the plan will not
be at all considered by the United States.
If the contrary were true such indemnity
could not be collected, because the posi-
BILE resources of the islands would not only
be insufficient for the repayment of the
hundreds of millions of dollars already
expended but by most grinding exactions
there could not annually be wrung from
the FiliDinos an amount sufficient to repay
one-third of the sum which the United
States must continue to spend on account
of our possession and domination of the
Philippines.

corn row. II your rows are six feet wide
you can put two or three burrows In each
middle if you wish. Rows not over four
feet wide one furrow is sufficient.
After this is done you can cultivate the
corn as you wish; we prefer a scooter
and scrape and run it shallow. Be sure
not to run the double turner nor the sub
soiler when the ground is wet. It will
pay you better to do nothing than to
plow your land wet. BY this mode you
can make corn and make 1t cheaper and
easier than you ever have. Try 1t If
you wish; you will not be disappointed
MODE FOR PREPARING TO PLANT
COTTON.
One furrow with the Pinch point and
the medium wings will rip up your cotton
stalks or lay off your rows. If you want
your fertilizers in deep. put 1t in this
furrow. Take on the right-hand medium
wing and put on the right-hand subsoil
wing and list on the fertilizer with the
subsoil wing next to the fertilizer. This
will form a beautiful low bed to plant
on and a high middle to work back to the
growing cotton.
With these three burrows you can do
DEEPER WORK than you can with
ANY TWO-HORSE TURNER. 1t viii do
the best and neatest job you ever saw.
Before you run the planter, knock on
the bed. 1t will kill coat of grass and
if the season is dry you will get better
stand of cotton.
This plow is endorsed by Harvie Jor-
dan, Dr. Hunnicutt and many Of the best

Please let me know through The Journal
IL there is any profit in raising cantaloupes
for market. -
How much fertilizer per acre and how
many crates can I make per acreE Please
give all the information possible.
Answer-There can be no doubt as TO the
profit in cantaloupes TO those who grow
them successfully, and are the first to get
into the markets. In the trucking business
IL is the early bird that gets the worm.
The writer is personally acquainted with
a melon and vegetable grower in Gaines
Vile Fla, who three years ago netteo
$4,000 clear profit on 80 acres planted IN
Rocky Ford cantaloupes.
This was, however, an unusually large
profit. The average profit per acre where
the business is properly looked after
should be about $50 per acre. Mr.. Benton
an experienced melon grower sums up the
average yield. expenses and net pronts
per acre as follows: THE yield per acre
varies from so to 800 crates per acre. A
conservative estimate would place the
yield at $50 crates per acre. The price
varies from $125 to $3.75 per crate. The
average price gross may be estimated at
50 per crate; thus you see that after de-
Quoting cents for each crate, hauling
from field to cars, freight and commission
SO cents each, we have 81 per crate for
rent Of land, fertilizer, interest on invest
ment and labor, average estimate OF $50
per acre. Thus $50 crates per acre at 81 per
crate $500, less 500 for freight, commits
sion, etc, less s. labor, etc. We have
$3.50 net.
Add to this $40 for hay. and we have
total net profit of $175 per acre. think
the above a fairly conservative estimate,
though as already stated, some growers
net much larger profits. ra-
Break the land deep and harrow down to

izer Analysing per cent phosphoric acid,
per cent ammonia and per cent potash
should be used, drilling in 400 pounds per

careful attention to details. Take pains
taking care in gathering and creating.
Investigate the financial standing of the

are made If the business is given close

the grower. A great deal more clear
money in 1t than in cotton at prices which

Major Micah Jenkins, who declined to
accept the sword from the people Of South
Carolina after Lieutenant Governor Till
man withdrew his invitation to President
Roosevelt to present the sword, is son
of Major General Micah jenkins, of the
Confederate army, who lost his life in
the same volley that wounded General
Longstreet at Gettysburg.
Major Jenkins is now cOmmandant of
one of the military schools in the state of
Virginia During the Spanish-American
war he was captain in one of the troops
of Rough Riders organized by General
Leonard Wood and President Theodore
Roosevelt. In the charge up San Juan
hill he outstripped all the other riders and
was the first man to land in the Spanish
trenches at the summit. President Roose-
Welt was greatly impressed with the dar-

bravest man he ever saw, and he recon-
mended his appointment as major.

1t will produce copper cheap as-if not
cheaper than-any other company operating in

The gold and silver values IN the are
ALWAYS sufficient TO materially reduce the
