TOPSY HOSIERY MILLS CHANGE. Jas. 1). Massey, Former Oconee Boy, Ono of tho Now Owners. (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 Columb. s men. G. Gunby Jordan and J. 1).

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. In disorders and di eases of children drugs seldom do good and often do harm.

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. S. A. Knapp, Special Agent in Charge. SWIN K ON THE FA KM. 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.
