FERTILIZING FOR COTTON.
Preparing Their Land For the
Next Cotton Crop.

By the time this appears in print
q good many farmers will be making
their arrangements to buy fertilizers
for another seasons cotton crop.
I wonder how many of my readers
really know what they want in a
fertilizer for this crop, and how many
simply leave the question for the
dealer to decide? Naturally the
farmer who reads knows a great deal
more about this matter than the one
who does not. But still the amount
Of ignorance displayed in regard to
fertilizers by farmers who should
know better is astonishing.
'Yes,'' said fertilizer dealer to
me last spring, most Of my custom
ers leave me to decide what fertiliz-
er they need for any given crop. They
ask me for good fertilizer for cot
ton, or melons, or potatoes, and I do
the best can for Them
But how can a fertilizer dealer
know the conditions which surround
his customer. or tell what his soil
requires in fertilizer? 1t is ques-
ton which every farmer must decide
for himself. It is very important
question and its proper decision may
mean the saving of hundreds of dol
lars to the individual in question.
A short time ago / had converse
ton on this subject with . Mr.. w. D.

HERE AND THERE.

The markets of the country have.
seemingly, got to give more encour-
agement to the bacon hog before he
will be in great favor in the states.
"A pound of copperas dissolved in
water and added to half bushel OF
lime to make wash is said to keep
rabbits from barking trees. Apply
from the ground up about two feet
with brush or swab.
The people of this country use
about 10 pounds of sugar per capita
per annum. OF this vast amount OF
sweets, 4,67o,ooo,ooo pounds come
from foreign countries, and about
100000 pounds produced at home from
cane and beets.
The development of rice farming
in the Texas and Louisiana coast
country is one of the industrial won
ders of the age. Immense amounts OF
capital have been, and are still be-
ing, invested in rice lands and rice
irrigation plants.
To keep our money at home and
in the pockets of our people until it
is needed, to learn to do business for
ourselves and to cooperate with each
other, and to avoid the speeulations
OF corporated capital, are lessons
many farmer has already learned.
A variety of wholesome food is
necessary to keep hens in laying con-
dition. When they have all out doors
for range, little sound grain is all
they require out of hand. While con-
fined they must have green feed and
animal matter furnished to take the
place of open range pickings.
Prof. Mally is studying a new
grain pest that has made its appear
ance in north Texas. It is species
of titranichus. He will soon begin
series of field tests of methods OF
combating the pest I'D soon as cir
cumstances are favorable. 1t is Ia nc
way related to the green bug.

Muscle Yersua skill.

The man of muscle may carry q
hod, dig ditch, or even man pillow,
and have dollar day for his labor,
and he is worth every cent of it. The
man of skill may not have half the
strength of the other, but he gets five
dollars day, and often more. One
works with his hands and legs and
the lumbar muscles; the other works
with his mind. The mind is the Off
Ger in command, the boss of the job;
the muscles are the privates, who
come and go as the mind directs.
Skill is entitled to more pay than
physical power, because it is high
er and rarer function. Applied to
farmers, this principle holds good.
The plodder labors industriously, but
to bad advantage, gathers his corn
and cotton and renews the mortgage
of last year, for he must have bacon
and coffee and sugar and salt and
baking soda and sack or two OF
flour, and his crop has barely paid
his last years bills. The farmer OF
skill breeds and sells some fine stock,
or he grows marketable fruit and
vegetables that bring high prices in
their season; or he grows a nursery
of trees and plants and makes his
acres yield him SIS to 500 each, and
at the end of the season he has a
surplus which he may utilize in en-
larging his business, or lend some of
it to the plodder at good rate of in
terest, with good security. The world
wants more men of skill on the farms
and everywhere else.-Texas Farm
and Ranch.

Hammock, who Is member OF the
Georgia legislature and alarge cotton
planter Mr.. Hammack said he had
tried a great many different kinds OF
fertilizers on cotton, but had finally
settled down to the following as best
for his land. I give it just as he told
it to me, as it makes the formula
very simple and easily understood. A
2oo-pound sack of high-grade acid
phosphate, 100-pound sack Of cot
tonseed meal, and a 100-pound sack
of kainit emptied together and thor
oughly mixed, making 400 pounds OF
fertilizer. This gives a wel-balanced
fertilizer for cotton on most soils.
The following is the analysis 1t gives
US and the way to find it:
We have 200 pounds of "A per cent.
acid phosphate; this gives us %
pounds of phosphoric acid and, as
there are 400 pounds of fertilizer in
all, we divide the % by 4,which shows
us that we have 2 per cent. of phos-
phoric acid. There are pounds OF
ammonia in the 100 pounds of cotton
seed-meal; we therefore divide the 8
by 4, and this gives us 2 per cent. OF
ammonia. We also have 100 pounds
of kainit, which contains little over
IL pounds of potash, and by dividing
this by four we find that our fertil-
izer contains about per cent. of pot
ash. Putting it all together the anal
ysis reads: Phisphoric acid, per
cent; ammonia, per cent; potash, 3
per cent.
Mr.. Hammack said furthermore
that he considered kainit the best
form of potash for cotton.
"There is something" said he, ''in
this product which helps the cotton
independent of the potash it con-
tains. 1t is the best preventative OF
rust I have ever seen. Where used
it this year my cotton remained
green and thrifty all summer; while
where it was not used the rust in
jured the cotton badly. generally
use about 300 or 400 pounds of this
fertilizer to the acre on my cotton
and it pays me we'll"
we nave, LII IAC dOOVCs q oC1AOoA~
fertilizer which would cost us on the
market about $40 per ton. If we pur-
chased the materials for cash and
mixed them ourselves it would only
cost us about SIG.
The analysis of the fertilizer given
above is nearly perfect for cotton on
the ordinary clay loan soil. If your
land is very sandy, the fertilizer
should contain more potash, prefera.
bly, per cent, and 3 per cent. of am
monia instead of per cent. On stiff
red clay soils not so much potash is
needed, and the phosphoric acid can
be increased.
In my own experience I have found
400 or 500 pounds of fertilizer good
amount to apply per acre for cotton.
The past season where we applied
different quantities of fertilizer, from
100 to 400 pounds in the fertilizer
gave us something over 100 pounds
increase in seed cotton. The land and
the cultivation were the same in all
cases. This shows that it will pay to
use fertilizer in liberal quantities on
cotton.-F. J. Merriam, in Southern
Cultivator.

"From my early womanhood have

NEW YORK, Sept 10.-The tension of
to-day and stocks responded with a stray
Cling recovery, but the repressive effect
of the money situation was demonstrated
by the subsistence of activity in the mar
ket. the volume of dealings falling below
half a million shares for the first time
in several weeks. Late yesterday it be-
came known that 81, 5O0.0 900 of gold in trans
1T from South Africa to London had been
secured for New York. This failed to re-
assure sentiment Immediately and prices
OF stocks declined during the morning. st.

ern and Wabash fell a point or over when
an opening money rate of Is per cent. was
reported. A relapse to 10 per cent. was fol-
lowed by a rally and the rate fell to s
per cent. In the afternoon. Recoveries
were general and the Gould group. the Wis

The report of an additional shipment of
s1,250,NO in gold from Australia, of $1,000
600 from London tomorrow and Of the ar
rival at San Francisco to-day of a 100000
installment helped to reassure sentiment.
There was a prompt recovery in sterling
exchange in response to the gold engage
ment. and discount rates hardened In Lon
don and Berlin, following yesterdays lead
by Paris. Further gold imports were there
by rendered Improbable. The conviction
grows that foreign gold supplies must be
looked to for relief Of the New York mar
ket. In this connection it is interesting
to note that the great foreign reserve banks
are well equipped to meet a demand. The
gold In the Bank of France Is nearly $780,
100000 greater than a year ago. Its note
in the same time. but its discounts and ad-
vances are 81 100000 less. The Imperial
Bank of Germany has over $12. 5000 gold
more than a year ago. while its discounts

slightly less. The presentation of checks
to the subtreasury for the anticipated gov
eminent interest was much larger to-day
than yesterday, but their effect on the
money market was again counteracted by
the deposit at the subtreasury of $400.0O

the applications at Washington for gov
