(Columbus, Qa., Ledgor, 11th.)
One of thc most important deals
announced In this city In several
months was that of to-day when it
was stated that tho owners of tho
Topsy Hosiery Mills had sold the
property to G. Gunby Jordan, C. L.
Perkins, lt. C. Jordan and Jas. D.
Massey.
While the figures involved in tho
trade were not given out, lt ls under
stood that they nro in the neighbor
hood of $100,000, which makes the
trade one of unusual Importance.
The mill ls located In Jordan City,
and since its erection, several ye:irs
ago, has been one of the leading in
dustries of Columbus and has con
tributed no small part to the city's
financial success.
The new owners purchased the
property from thc Ely & Walker Dry
Goods Company, of Saint Louis, Mo.,
and they took charge of tho property
this afternoon, and there will be no
Interruption of the business of tho
mill other than that made necessary
by taking stock and arranging the
details for the transfer.
H was announced Immediately hy
the new purchasers that tho mills
would continue to operate, a shut
down being necessary only long
enough to take account of stock, and
that the output of tho mill would be
greatly Increased at an early date.
Whether tho company will Incorpo
rate or make extensive Improvements
at an early dato have not yet been
determined.
The purchasers are all well known

How to Apply Manure.
t Progressive Farmer.)
Manure should in most cases-In
practically all cases, it is safe lo say
-be applied broadcast. The scatter
ing'ol' small amounts in the drill or
row is a wasteful and unprofitable
pracotice. If enough is put In to be
of any marked value as a source ol'
plant food, there is danger, unless ll
is very fine, that it may dry out and
"fire" tho crop if a drouth comes.
If the manure ls made fl?<* and mixed
with the soil, lt will decay and aid
greatly In the holding of moisture.
This fining of manure ls another
point that needs emphasizing. A big
lump of manure is of comparatively
little use to the plants, because the
plant food In ll ls held so that lt can
not be dissolved by the soil waler.
lt ls a mero clod, and a plant can
starve among the richest sort of
clods.
These, then, are the two great
points to bo remembered in applying
manure:
(1) ll should be made as Hue as
possible, and (2) mixed thoroughly
and uniformly through the soil.
The manure spreader lias made it
much easier to get the manure out
on (be soil, and bas enabled lt to he
put there In much better shape than
was possible by band. Manure should
never be piled In small heaps In the
field, ns lt ls n\\rn to lose much of
Hs nitrogen when left In this shape.
When taken to the field the proper
thing ls to spread lt on the land at
once.

1000 COTTON CROP LESSONS*
Sonic- Thin}1,* Learned by thu United
SUites Department of Agriculture.
Tile souson of 1909, while ono of
the worst we have ever known for
tlie colton crop in all hut the Atlan
tic States, taught some valuable les
sons:
First. It demonstrated that a crop
of cotton, under heavy boll weevil in
festation, could bi made after July
1st, provided the farmers pick up the
punctured squares and work tho
Held intensively. In fact, there were
very few boils on thc cotton plants tu
Louisiana and Southwest Mississippi
on July 1st, 1909. The weather then
became dry and warm, and such as
followed the Instructions of the gov
ernment demonstration work made a
fair crop of cotton, both on tho allu
vial bottoms and on tho hill lands,
and tho planters who failed to follow
such Instructions made very little.
LoUislana has always had years of
a short cotton crop, due to adverse
weather conditions. The crop of
1905, though practically unaffected
by tho weevil, was only 511,738
bales, which ls less than half the
product of 1904. Owing to loss of
labor and fear of the boll weevil,
about 30 per cent less than normal
acreage was planted to cotton In
190!?, and when practically no cotton
was made up to July 1st, such was
tho alarm thal a large area ol* cotton
was plowed up and planted lo other
crops. The amount plowed up or
abandoned ls estimated by good
judges at 10 per cent. But allow
that it. was 20 per cent, deducting
from the probable -op lu such a sea
son, (to wit, 511,738 bales I, the 30
per cent not planted and 20 per cent
plowed up or abandoned, and the
crop of Louisiana, without allowing
anything for weevil damage, should
have been about 286,57<l bales. As
far as can be ascertained the crop
was about 270,000 bales. This clear
ly ?troves that the fright is more dam
aging than tho weevil.
The second Item emphasized by the
experience ol' 1909 ls the importance
of plcikng up and burning the punc
tured squares. There never had been
any question but picking up the
squares in the fore pari ol' the sea
son would check the weevils, but lt
was proven In 1909 that it was ef
fective alter tho Held was fully in
fested if rapid cultivation was con
tinued.
The third item of value demon
strated by the season of 1909 is the
importance of having the land well
drained so the crop can be worked
as soon as the rain eases. Under
boll weevil conditions the heavy
black land and the poorly drained
Heids should be devoted to other
crops, because intensive working of
the crop ls a nece ty. There must
be no weeds and no grass In the
crop.
Fourth. The past season bas add
ed its conclusive testimony In favor
of the plan for making cotton under
boll weevil Infestation, which plan,
approved by thc United States De
partment of Agriculture, is as fol
lows:
1. The destruction of the weevils
In the fall by burning all rubbish and
material in and about the Held which
might serve for hibernating quarters
of the weevils, and breaking (plow
ing) the soil as deep as conditions
will allow.
2. The shallow winter cultivation
of the soil if no cover crop is used.
3. Delaying the planting till the
-oil and temperature aro warm
enough to make it sat?..
4. The planting of early-maturing
varieties of cotton.
5. The use of fertilizers.
li. Leaving more space between the
rows, and on ordinary uplands hav
ing a greater distance between plants
In the row than ls usually allowed.
7. The use of thc section harrow
before and nftor planting and on the
young cotton.
S. Intensive shallow cultivation.
9. Agitation of the stalks hy means
of brush attached to the cultivator.
10. Dicking up and burning ihe
squares that fall under weevil con
ditions, especially during the first 30
or -IO days of Infestation.
11. Controlling the growth of tho
plant, if excessive, by deep and close
cultivation while tho plant ls young.
12. Selecting the seed.
13. The rotation ol' crops and the
use of legumes.
It will bo noted that the system, ns
outlined, has a two-fold object: (1)
To reduce the number of weevils,
and (2) to aid early maturity. The
foregoing methods may require modi
fication to suit tho soil and climate.
Where there ls too much food and a
surplus of moisture avallablo for
cotton In any soil, common sense dic
tates that these conditions should not
bo Increased by deep fall breakings.
Wo theroforo adviso tho following
plan under boll weovll conditions on
such lands:
Durn all tho cotton stalks, and af
ter tho weovlls have gono Into win
ter quarters burn all tho rubbish in
and about Hie flold a" early In tho
fall as possible. In the spring, bed
on the Arm ground, giving more
space between tho rows. Prepare a
good seed bed before planting and
maintain a ridge cultivation through
tho'season. The foregoing is espe
cially for lands whore, under weevil
conditions, thoro ls an excess of plant
growth.
Fifth. Tho lands must be well
drained and no larger area planted
than can bo Intensively worked.
Sixth. All the supplies of food and
forage must be raised at home and
can bo on the lands not planted in
cotton.
Seventh, it is practically safe to
make advances In boll weevil terri
tory if the farmer follows govern
ment Instructions.
Eighth. There should be a rigid
system of inspection to see that tho
government plan ls followed. \
The great drouth and intenso heat
in July and August last year through
out Texas and Oklahoma accentuated
tho Importance of deeper tillage and
more thorough preparation of the
soil.
I ask every agent of the farmers'
co-operative demonstration work and
every farmer in the southern States
to do bis best lo make a banner crop
of all farm staples In 1910.

Methods of Reducing tho Cost of
liaising Stock.
The cost of raising hogs may be
much reduced by raising the pigs on
thc farm, since the cost of purchasing
a young pig at four weeks of age, or
thereabout, ls much greater, accord
ing to its weight, than at any other
time in his life, much greater also
than the cost of producing him nt
honte under ordinarily favorable
conditions, writes H. Yclgh Hunt In
The Country Gentleman, fha cost of
raising and fattening may also be
much reduced by raising and feed
ing roots, vegetables like pumpkins,
corn and home-raised grain; also by
pasturing on clover and by feeding
considerable clover and nil alfa dur
ing winter.
When fattening tho greatest gain
is niac'.e by feeding corn meal, willi
just enough of vegetables to keep
up a good appetite. Hogs will eat
more ground grain than whole, but
will make a correspondingly greater
gain in weight. Hogs fatten more
readily before severe cold weather
sets in, as it requires a considerable
portion of their food to furnish re
sistance to the cold. When fatten
ing in winter, as warm quarters as
possible should be provided. and
plenty of bedding, into which they
can burrow for warmth. When at
pasture, lt ls better to have several
small pastures rather than ono large
one. Turn them Into a small enclo
sure when the grain is young and
tender or the forage crop is only a
few inches high. When they have
fed this off fairly close and lt begins
to look bare and filthy, turn them
into another enclosure. In a short
time the first enclosure will start up
fresh and be ready to furnish good
pasture again. In this manner much
more good food ls obtained from the
same amount of ground than would
he the case If it were all in one large
pastu re.
Fattenings bogs should make a
gain of about one-half pound a day.
Corn meal is the main agent to pro
duce this result, and roots supply
something of an essential nature in
connection with the corn. To keep
them in health and with good diges
tion, charcoal and salt aro useful.
Wood ashes are also of value. Hogs
eat them, and tl ey supply mineral
matter needed to keep them In
health.
A hog ls a neat animal if given a
chance to be so. yet many of them
pass their whole lives in untold filth
iness. Give them bedding, and plen
ty of lt. both for their own sakes
and for yours. They will do hotter,
be much more comfortable and re
turn yon good profit for your Hine
and money by converting It finally
into the best fertilizer tho farm can
produce. At the present high prices,
hogs are very profitable, notwith
standing the high price of grain.
When live bogs sell at 7 % to 8c. per
pom (I, dressed pork 15c, salt pork
and lard lf> lo 17c, country prices,
lt pays lo produce lt. The more cco
nomlcally lt can be produced mid Ibo
more of the feed raised nt home, tho
grenier tho pay for tho labor Involv
ed. Incidentally, a farm where many
bogs are kept will never run out, hut
will Improve year by year.
