MAKING PAPER
The South Produces Three Excellent Materials for This Great Industry.


 New Orleans Times-D Democrat The success of the Pettibone Cataract Corn- pany at NiaSara Fans in making paper from cottonseed hulis means great deal for the South. The experiment of this company with hulls produced . soft and tough paper. and the opinion expressed that a good quality of writing paper could be manufactured from the Southern product. It has always been held that cottonseed hulls well adapted for ths manufacture of paper. but as in the case of baRasse nothing has heretofore been done to put this belief into practical effect The recent search for paper stock has. as The Times Democrat has shown. brought about q thorough examination of all the materials that seem adopted to this industry. Three of these materials produced wholly In the South have specially recommended themseives-bagasse or crushed sugar cane. rice straw. and cotton seed hulls- Two paper mills are already con- verting bagasse into paper. and the industry is in SO promising a condition that we can fore see the day when all the crushed cane of the sugar district win Ind its way to the mill One paper min for the utilization of rice provided for. Less progress has been made in utilizing the cottonsead hulis for paper mak- ing. but the experiments at Niagara hold out great. promise for the future. If the huils prove all that is hoped for. 1t is. of course, the greatest of all the discoveries in the in- dustry of paper making as cottonseed hulis are not like bagasse and rice straw, limited to . comparatively small section. but arc produced throughout the South. With these threa materials for the manufacture of paper fully utilized, we have every reason to be- Iieve that the South will become the center of the American paper industry.

Farm Notes.

Be very careful and do not put fifteen
larfe eggs under lien unless she can
easily cover them. This is where many
fail in early spring. Some hens should
not have more than eleven.
According TO the United States CEN
sus report, the hens of this country
average 100 eggs per year. Some egg
producing contests last year showed
that hen can be induced to lay $50
eggs in year. There is great deal of
difference between what the hens are
doing and what they could do.
The small farmer should produce the
best horses, as he is better prepared to
carefully mature the two or three colts
under his care, and by handling them
constantly they are educated to work /;
but most farmers do not appreciate
their advantage: they raise the scrubs
and let the larger dealers raise those
from which the most money is made.
Large fleeces are not all wool, rs fire.
quently the larger proportion consists
of grease, gum, dirt and sometimes
ticks. The manufacturer will only pay
for the clean wool In fleece, as heavy
fleeces that are verS dirty cause more
labor and expense in cleaning The real
value of n fleece is in the wool after the
fleece has been secured.
The use of coal ashes has not been
recommended by agricultural chemists,
but practical tests show that they have
more value than is popularity supposed,
especially on heavy soils. Probably as
good use of them as can be made Is
to throw them in the henhouse or the
vault. They will absorb the ammonia
instead of liberating it, as Is the effect

Flowing Permanent Pastures.

The meaning of Il permanent pasture
to the minds of most farmers is one
that will last for an ordinary lifetime,
with occasional reseedlngs. While there
is no doubt but what this plan of re-
seeding Will improve many pastures
and keep them In good shape for many
years, there comes time in the life of
most of them when the weeds crowd
out the grass and the pasture gradual
ly goes to pieces despite the plan of re-
seeding. There will be bare spots no.
ticed which do not seem to take kindly
to even the seeds of white clover, and
the application of fertilizer before re-
seeding does not seem to improve the
situation When this Is found to be the
case with any permanent pasture there
seems to be but one thing to do, and
that to plow II up and put 1t in the best
possible coidition for reseeding to blue
grass or some mixture suited to the
section and for permanent pasture.
Sometimes this blowing may be delay
ed for time and the pasture partly
rejuvenated by running over ii heavy
sharp harrow and then lightly seeding
all over; however, eventually the plow-
ing up will need to be done.
