COLES FOR MAY.
Full Tide of Business Activity
Confidently Foretold.

Following are the predictions,
for May, prepared by us. Coles,
of Kingston, Pa:
In spiteo of the ups and downs
Of temperature, of the changing
moods of the ftful spring, with
it's alterations of sunshine, rain,
and snow, the grass and beauti-
full flowers and all nature is bud
ding forth and will soon begin to
demand more of our attention;
just 50 in the line of industry and
trade we do not see the improve
ments that are going on, but be-
meath the surface of the business
world there is a progress of work
going on which in a short time
will cause the high flood" days
to strengthen and a full tide of
business activity may be expect
ed. There will be 81 high flood"
days this month. Until the 18th
business affairs will be above the
average, followed by some good
breaks and sudden reverses. The
lumber business, hardware, ETC.,
will be very active.
This month earth will sail in
between Mars and the sun and
Mars may play,all sorts of tricks
on Mother EARTH. We may ex-
pect a few disputes and much
excitement between nations, etc.
AS the planets are somewhat
punched together this. month, we
may witness some unusual phe-
nomenons and severe electrical
storms. The cold waves, with
hail, will battle with the heat ele-
ments. Watch out for frost.
'Tornadoes will visit many Sec
tons of the country, especially
the Western part. The Storms
and Signs calendar shows the
periods of approaching disturb
ances.
There will be an unusual
amount of sickness among the
people, throat trouble and cpl
demic fevers will prevail.
Cucumber, melon, squash, and
all such running vine seed
should be planted Monday, the
9Th; Tuesday, the 9th, and Thurs.
day, the 18th. Next best days
will be Saturday, the 9th, and
Friday, the 26.

School Notes.

Prof. X. B. Murphy, a young
man of broad scholarship, Nor
NAL training, valuable teaching

The 2hoye is suggestive, not abso-
lu1e; but It is we'll within the limits
oi probability. You will say that there
would not be much money profit even
in The last stated case, with cotton at
/ cents. Well, no; but it is very much
better than making 40 bales on 100
acres at a cost Of cents and selling it
at I cents. TIE truth is, land that with
good cultivation aid without fertiliza-
ton will not produce more than 40
bales on 100 acres is hardly fit to plant
in cotton, even if 1t be literally fer
tilized, unless there is an assured pros
pect of selling it at 8 or 10 cents a
pound. Such land ought TO be planted
in oats, cowpeas, sorghum, or Bermuda
grass, which cost but little to plant
and cultivate, and the product Of which
may be consumed on the farm.
What about the hundreds OF thou
sands. yea millions of acres planted an
nually in cotton that average very far
less than 20 bales TO the 100 acres
say not more than Il or 20 bales to
100 acres? If all such be- retired from
cultivation in cotton or corn, and put
into less expensive crops, or pasture,
the problem Of the ''cotton situation
aided by common sense system OF
rotation, divarsifcation, liberal manur-
ing and fertilization, would be COM
oletely and permanently solved.-Hon-

pertinent Station, in the Atlanta Con-

The story is told of 8 shock re-
ceived by Duluth pastor after the
service the other night in the Phila-
delphia Telegraph.
He makes 1t a point to welcome
any strangers cordially, (like mo: t
preachers) and that evening, after
the completion of the service, be
hurried down the aisle to station
himself at the door A Swedish girl
Was one of the strangers in the
congregation. She is employed aa g.
domestic in one of the fashionable
East End homes, and the minister,
noticing that she was q stranger,
stretched out bis hand.
He welcomed her to the church
and expressed the hopa that she
would be regular attendant
Finally be said that if she would be
at home some evening during the
week, be would call.

gregation beard the conversation.

Producing Acreage and
Reducing Fertilizers

ducing The thirty bales as for prod'lc-
ing the forty bales.
He will have produced on the so
acres thirty bales: whereas before he
produced only 200 bales (the half OF
40 bales) on that area. This gain OF
100 bales is almost entirely due 10 the
use of 81 worth Of fertilizers per acre.
or 500 worth on the 80 acres. making
the 10 bales cost SO each, or 2 cents
per pound, ready to pick, or 8 cents
per pound bailed ready for market. OF
course, these 10 bales, or 5000 pounds,
are distributed throughout the 80 bales.
The 90 bales that the 80 acres of land
produced of itself we have supposed to
have cost : cents per pound OF S1OD
for the 20 bales. The 10 bales OF in
crease cost 500, plus the cost Of pick
ing, $50. total, sl50. OF course, then.
the so bales will have cost 800 plus
$50, or a grand total OF $3.50 for the
90 bales, of 5 2-3 cents per pound Of
lint.
The suppositions OF which these cal
cuIations are based are all within very
moderate bounds, and are used only TO
illustrate the principle. AS much more
liberal application Of fertilizers per
acre would make still stronger Illus
tration.
Therefore. it seems to me plain, that
the farmer should produce a larger
percentage Of that undivided portion
Of each bale that cost only 3 cents per
pound, and smaller percentage Of the
portion that cost Z cents per pound. II
one-half OF each bale OF cotton cost 5
cents per pound and the remaining
half cos. 7 cents per pound, then it is
quite clear that the mean cost of the
hale Of cotton would be an exact mean
between ; and T. or 5 cents per pound.
If one-third only Of the bale cost 3
cents a pound, and the remaining two
thirds cost cents per pound, the
whole bale will have cost ) 2-3 cents
per pound. If one-fourth Of the bale
cost 3 cents = pound and the remain
ing three-follr!hs cost 7 cents per
pound then the whole bale will have
cost S cents :po1 pound.
