PLANTING NAILS.
Southern Farmer:

Southern Farmer:
Few persons know the value of old
nails. They are worth more than new
ones when used for certain purposes.
All forms of vegetation need more or
less iron, and unless this is already in
the soil or supplied the tree or plant
will be in need of a tonic that can
easily be supplied by the use of old
rusty nails.
All kinds of house plants soon ex-
haust the soil in which they stand and
grow for months, and when other fer
tilizers are used the iron is apt to be
overlooked. Place few rusty nails in
the earth about the plants. Simply
press the nails down among the roots
and the moisture will soon dissolve
the iron to a certain extent and it will
be carried to the plant through the
roots.
Most fruit trees need more or less
iron. Trees that stand on city or town
lots are apt to exhaust the soil about
the roots, and when this occurs the
results are not so satisfactory as when
the soil has a larger supply for the
tree to draw from. Iron may be pro-
vided in two ways by the use of rusty
nails. Old nails that are not rusty
will soon become so If allowed to re-
main out of doors a short time or If
buried about the roots Of the tree. A
dozen nails buried in the earth at half
dozen different points short dis
lance from the tree will supply all the
iron it needs for year or more.
Fruit trees that have attained an age
that should produce fruit and which
have seemed to lack something, should
be given some iron by driving num-
Der of rusty nails into the body of the
| tree.
From twenty-five to one hundred
nails of different sizes may be driven
into a large fruit tree without danger
of injury. Care should be taken not to
strike the bark at the point. where the
nails are driven after the nail has been
driven in. The nails should be pretty
well distributed over the trunk of the
tree.
Plum, peach and cherry need more
iron than apple or pear.
A lot of old nails mixed with the
earth in making a flower bed will as
sist greatly in producing a wealth OF
bright foliage, as we'll as more brilliant
colors in the flowers.

Augusta Cotton Market.

Augusta. Sept. 2G.-As we sug-
gestcd yesterday. the bad weather
yesterday in the eastern belt was the
only thing that held the market. To-
day the avalanche of selling broL e
loose and the demand simply was not
there. We have never i'm all our ex-
pcriCncc in the cotton business seen
offerings freer than they were today
and correspondence, we have never
seen demand any more Indifferent. If
this situation continues the early part
of next week, it means Z 1-2c cotton.
We are afraid that on this decline the
same character of short interest has
not been created as on the decline the
first part OF september. In other
words. we do not think there is the
same basis FOR the immediate rally OF
81 II bale which followed that de-
cline.
Cotton sold in Augusta this morn
ing in a small way at 1-Sc basis and
this afternoon is offered at I 7-Sc ba-
sis.

THE PLANTING OF WHEAT.

MIR. Editor:
There will probably he moro wheat
planted by our farmers this season
than ever before. This | am glad tn see
and as | have had several to ask me
I'm person and by letter about seed
think that few facts regarding same
might be timely.
l wish to say to all who wish to
diversity in earnest To plant one or
more acres in wheat and observe cer-
tain facts to wit: Select good seed
and do not plant milling wheat. Ker-
nels should be large and plump and
free from other seed, especially oats
and rye. Treat seed with blue stone
or formaldehye to kill fungus. All
who have trouble in getting seed
should write to f. j. Watson, Com
missioner Of Agriculture, Columbia, :.
c. Write to Clemson College for bull
letin on wheat growing. Select best
land. we'll drained, red clay preferred.
Break thoroughly both ways while
dry. Harrow we'll and plant in dust
on a we'll formed seed bed, prefer
ably with grain drill from three to
five pecks Of seed to the acre. Fer
terlize with phosphoric, acid at time Of
plating, varying amount to suit land,
and dress with 60 to 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda in spring. BE sure
thrasher has no oats or rye in it when
you so to thrash. Stable manure
over land at seeding time
would take the place OF phosphoric
acid and potash. If our farmers will
eat bread made from home raised
wheat and do not have the flour
bleached to rob it of the gluten which
Is the most nutritious part Of the
wheat good digestion will wait Oh APP

Fake Cholera Cures,

Farmers have no one but them
cholera cures. The veterinary divis-
ion of Clemson College has warned
against them repeatedly. Every So
called cure for hog cholera which it
has examined has been fake. When
some of your hogs get cholera the
only course to take is to separate the
sick ones from the herd and notify
your county demonstration agent or
send to DR.. NJ. Ray Powers, Clemson
College, for serum with which to in
Oculatc the well hogs.

Ghosts and GOblinS.

Since the world began superstition
has been the companion of ignorance.
AS civilization drives out ignorance
superstition also takes it's departure,
so that the degree of civilization pos
sessed by any people may be rcadi-
~ measured by the number and
character of it's supcfstitions.
Ethnolosists who have studied saw
age tribes tell us that the greatest
barrier to civilization is sup ~stition,
which In many instances so firmly
binds the minds of the natives, that
they are actually afraid to think for
themselves.
Science, the handmade of civiliza-
tion. is rapidly separating the false
from the true and is giving the wcrid
facts in place of superstitious fam
cics. Even in such everyday mat
tcrs of life as food. drink, clothing.
etc. false notions and hcar-say re-
ports arc giving away to scientific
facts
