The Cotton Seed Question.
Planters Journal, Vicksburg,
la your paper I see an article on
the above subject, in which you say
that the planters grumble somewhat,
because the oil mills have banded to
gether to get seed cheaper than they
are really worth. Well, I don’t think
they should grumble about this. The
oil mill men have a right to meet
together and discuss their interests.
They have a right to divide up the
the territory, and say that each mill i hog, well fed, is more profitable than
shall have the privilege of buying I two kept on the same amount ueces-
I cannot say that I am now, but I
have been rich, and have all I need;
do not owe a dollar, have given my
children a good education, and when
I am called away will leave them
enough to keep the wolf from the
door. My experience 1ms taught me
that:
1. One acre of land, well prepared
and well cultivated, produced more
than two which received only the
same amount of laber used on one.
2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or
only from his own district. They
frave the right to contrive any means
of getting seed as cheap as they cun.
A* business is now conducted, this is
all fair and legitimate. Life after all
ourcussiy’ and abuse is only a game
of poker, a game in which greenies
are fleeced and sharp ones get rich.
But are fho planters compelled to sell
at this price the mills have put on
them? Well, yes, if that is the best
that they can do with then), and
It Is the right, as it should be the
fluty, of the planter to look around
and see if ho cannot do better than to
soli the seed at any price the mills
can afford to give.
Mr. Edward Atkinson of Boston,
q:»oo said that ‘*if cotton would
grow as well in the North as it does
Iq the South, that they could afford to
false It for the seed alone.” When I
flrst heard this I supposed it all bun-
comb, but from the test of the value of
cotton seed as feed stufl, both in the
Soutli and Canada, I am satisiied he
Is correct. Prof. John A- Myers in
Ills address in the Cotton Plantcrs’s
Association, at Vicksburg, Novem
ber, 1883, said; ♦‘When corn was
worth $1.11 per hundred pounds,
pottou seed meal was worth $2-32, and
potton seed $2.03 per hundred
pounds.” At this rate a ton of seed
Is Worth as feed for stock $41.00, and
a ton of cotton seed meal only $40.40.
$?ext analysis and actual experi
ment have shown that a ton of cot-
ion seed is worth as much for ma
nure os a ton of commercial manures
that is sold at $40 per ton; and many
$housan(^^>ns are sold in the cotton
ami
Jsd ITom
stock, could supply the wants
of the planter if no commercial manure
tyere put on tbe n) arke L An exper
iment made at the A. and M. College
in feeding cotton seed to cattle
showed that flesh could be put on cat
tle, even in mid winter, for less
than two cents per pound. By this
ineuns, If fed to cattle oi\ the planta
tion they will pay $33 to $70 per ton.
Jn my cogutry not a ton of seed is sold
po mills; all are bought bv cattle men,
and they have paid this winter and
full $9 per ton at the gin and some are
bauled fifteen miles to cattle ranches.
While I do not know how long the
hulled seed, with the oil iu them
could be fed hi mules without hurt,
f do know of a man who fed a pair
pf fancy horses on them for three
fnontbs, and they dj<| well and had u
nice coat of hair.
You quote au article ftom the In
dependent in \yhjc4 it is shown bo-
yqud doubt that the mills only make
B2 cents on each ton of seed. Well, it is
really wonderful how anxious people
are to start mills in every available
place, on such small profits; and one
feally wonders where is the charm in
bulling cotton seed when he sees the
mills paying a nice good talker $2,(XX)
fis a salary for six months’ work,
“Just to induce the planters to part
with the trash;” and it seems won
derful when he hears of country
merchants receiving $1,000 to buy seed
for them, \yell, as old man Duncan
nsed to say, when he lost money in
a cotton deal, ‘‘By jings, aint this
cotton thing a wonderful thing, and I
never wijl just understand it.”
So,'planter, if you wish to sell your
peed for moro money, look around and
see if your fields do not need them,
your lauds ore wearing out—even
the rich bottoms, that were once sup
posed to be inexhaustible, are failing
rapidly.
The small planters can buy beef
cattle off of grass in September for
two and a half cents per pound gross,
pud by feeding them cooked cotton
sary to keep one well.
3. One acre of clover or grass is
worth more than two of cotton where
no grass or clover is raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats, corn
or wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule,
for ten years, can keep the sheritl
away from the door in the end.
5. The farmer who never reads the
papers, sneers at book-farming and
improvements, always has a leaky
roof, poor stock, broken-down fences,
and complains of “bad seasons.”
6. The funner who is above his
business, and entrusts it to another
to manage, soon has no busiues to at
tend to.
7. The farmer whose habitual bev
erage is cold water is healthier,
wealthier, and wiser tlian he who does
not refuse to drink.
Democrats, and nowhere, scarcely,
are there evidences of the hostility
and distress that were so plainly visi
ble only a few months ago.
There is every reason to suppose
that the masses of the negroes will
vote in the future acccoding to their
interest, and that they will soon ap
preciate the fact that they can hope
for no help or advancement from the
Republican party. There is little
doubt that by the time four years
shall elapse the Democrats may safely
count on a very large portion, if not
au actual majority, of the negio
votes. It may be assumed that the
South will be as solid as ever in the
next Presidential campaign, and it is
probable that two or three States now
Republican will then be in the doubt
ful list, placed there in the main by
the negroes transferring their votes
to the Domocratic party. The Re-
publieans cannot lose the negro vote
in Illinois, Wisconsin, or Michigan,
and have any assurance of being able
to carry those States.
The Democratic administration has
made a good beginning in commend
ing itself to intelligent and fair negroes
all over the country. The leading
minds of the race, especially in the
Northern States, have for some time
been almost ready to break off from
the Republican party. Let them now
come boldly over to the Democracy
and they will never have cause to re
gret the step, for the Republican party
has not only outlived its usefulness
but its power to do them good.
Redding Sweet Potatoes Slips.
Fayetteville Observer.
My plan has been for many years,
to bed my slips about the middle of
April. I first lay off my bed and dig
out one spade deep, and fill the place
up with manure, such as shucks, pine
straw and corn stalks, trample them
down by walking on them, then put
water on until wet, then cover with
some rich earth, lay the slips down,
placing them so as not to lie on each
other, put some rjch earthy or well
rotten manure on, so as to fill all va
cancies or cracks, don’t cover the
potatoes yet with earth, but cover
them with rice, wheat, or pine straw,

of rail with rich earjtfi, such as
the weeding of the of the fence
or some fine manure, raising it a little
above the rails so you can rake off
with a rake before the sprouts come,
and when you begin to pull up your
sprouts you will not be troubled with
the potatoes coming up with them,
the straw holds them to their places
and will more readily sprout again
as it is not removed. Water your
drawer bed witli soapsud water in
dry weather, if not soapy water
enough, water with water that has
stood in the sun for several hours.
The best time to plant sprouts is du-
ing the mouth of June, those planted
before June will not do so well.

Around many farms there are piles
of leaves blown into fence corners,
into the ditches, and every other place
about the premises. These should he
hauled into the hog, cow or horse lot
to be trampled and rotted, or dumped
ntio a pit, wet and limed, for thesame
purpose. All the rich surface soil
washed by the rains into the same
fence corners, sweepings from the
backyard, the waste about the hen
roost, pig sty, kitchen sink and other
places, should he gathered up and
piled for use in the garden, orchard or
vineyard. Where cultivation is close
around the premises this is an easy
job, and will make an astonishing im
provement in the soil,
How Wilkes Booth Passed the
Pickets.
Philadelphia Times.
“Did you ever know how Booth
passed the pickets on the bridge of the
eastern branch of the Potomac that
fatal night?” said my friend. I will
tell you as it was told to me by the old
sentiuul who was that night on duty
there. A half hour before the time
agreed upon by Booth to meet Harold
the latter, who had lived in the neigh
borhood of the bridge all his life, and
who was across the river in the little
village of Uniontown then crossed
the bridge to come over on the Wash
ington side. ‘Who goes there?’ said
the sentinel on the bridge. ‘A friend,
going for a doctor,’ replied Harold.
‘Pass,’ said the sentinel. He quietly
rode up Eleventh street to Pennsyl
vania avenue and Eighth street, and
there iu the darkness waited until the
thundering hoofs of Booth’s horse
were heard coming down the Pennsyl
vania avenue. The two horsemen
then started down Eighth street to
ward the bridge on that ride for their
lives, which ende^ iu Garrett’s burn

the two horses came rushing toward
the bridge. Harold was ahead and
cried out, ‘A friend with the doctor.’
The two men passed over the bridge,
and it was perhaps several years after
the reverberations of the horses’ hoofs
had died away before the sentry knew
who the men in such a hurry really
were, and when he found it out he was
nearly scared to death for fear he had
failed to do his duty. ”

The March crop report just
niulgated by the department of
culture says of .Soutli Carolina:
“It is believed by some of the most
observant farmers in the State that
the grain crops of 1884 were the largest
and best for many years, and the
opinion is held by many thntthe corn
crop was the largest ever produced.
There is only a very small proportion
of unsound corn raised iu the State,
and there is none that can be classed
a-< unmerchantable. In consequence
o' the large production the price has
been considerably lower than in aver-
peed and hay for two months he can I a £ e y ears i a,K l 0,1 the 1st of March is
put on about 250 pounds of flesh ami
pell them for 5 to H'.j cents gross, or a
profit of about $30 on each steer.
This can be done more easily on large
plantations in the river bottom, but
js rather too small a business for
them,
In the same issue I see an article
by Prof. F. A. Gulley, in which he
tolls your readers, that cotton seed
pieal is worth double corn meal for
food for stook. He tells you also that
the oil in the seed is good food; he
/odso says that the hogs get fat when
picking up the cooked cotton seed
where cattle were fed. Now, does
pot this tell yoq what to do with your
cotton seed?—where you can sell
therpfor a good price? A'ld then the
seed crushers can meet together to
contrive and plan how to induce you
to sell for $8 per ton. Then they can
sand around their agents as they have
a right to do. But you can tell ’em
you have no seed to sell at that price.
In a few years there will be a race
of people occupying the cotton States
who will know how to dispose of their
cotton seed. They are coming from
the North and \yest, and from Eu
rope—a people sharp, quick to take
advantage of such openings as the
raising and feeding of stock in the
cotton States offer to men of capital
and energy. For it is just as certain
as fate that the Southern States
touch better than the North to

Borne of the wheat was damaged in the
shock by rains, but the loss was not
heavy. Much of the wheat grown in
the .State is shipped to other States
and ground into flour, but the con
sumption of wheat exceeds the pro
duction. There is about 29 per cent,
of the crop remaining on hand, all of
which will be used during the year.
The quality, owing to the causes
mentioned, was not better than an
average, but altogether, was nearly
as good. The average weight being

Malione.
Senator Mahone dines at Chamber
lain’s, saj*s a Washihgton letter,
at about 4:30 every day. His favorite
seat is at the Fifteenth street end of
the bay window on First street. There
was a time when any Repuplican Sen
ator would have been glad to dine
with “Little Billy,” as he is familiarly
known. Now he is lucky to get a
stray Virginia carpet-bagger. A lit
tle, wiry, nervous man always swing
ing his foot under the table, with a
pallid face and a reddish beard of a
tone as though sprinkled with white
dust, he is always waited on with sur
prising obsequiousness. This is not
because he is liberal with loose
change, but in part because his round,
burning eyes startle the black waiters
into frightened servility, and in part
because he used to bring with him
big money-spenders, who were liberal
with fees. Mahone is very despon
dent these days. The civil service
rules will not hinder the displace
ment of the henchmen in Virginia
to any great extent. The President
knows these fellows to be offensive
partisians of the worst stripe and the
Democratic Senators will stand no
unnecessary delay in getting rid of
them, and the same is true of Southern
oflleerholders. They have all got to
go, and to stand not on the order of
their going.

The negroes have heretofore been
Republicans—that is, the large ma
jority of them—not so much on ac
count of gratitude for their freedom,
which the Republican party claims to
have given them, as from motives of
interest. Affer the Immense influ
ences that have been brought to hear
on them, and the fears of re-enslave
ment, excised by unprincipled poli
ticians, it is wonderful how rapidly
the prejudices of the negroes against
the Democratic party are giving way
to a feeling of confidence and respect.

Washington dispatch to the New York
Times.
A Western Democrat who is entire
ly friendly to President Cleveland,
but who fears that he may overlook
some of the dangers that beset him,
said to-day that lie was convinced that
no important Federal appointments
for the State of Kansas would be made
that were not acceptable to the Gould-
Huntington railroad interests in that
State. He said that these monopolists
ba l employed their attorneys, strong
and influential Democrats, to keep
watch and bring other influence to
bear to defeat any applicant for office
who might be suspected of hostility to
the railroads. The gentleman who
made this statement has felt the op
position of the Gould men and knows
how powerful it is. Gould is deter
mined to have ids way under a Demo
cratic administration even if it costs
a great deal money to get it.
