A Hood Whitewash.
A whitewash almost as good as
paint for poultry houses, coops, etc.,
can be made as follows: . To each
pound of fresh slaked lime, slaked in
hot water, add one-quarter of a
pound of Burgundy pitch dissolved
by gently heating in a pint of linseed
Oil: add to the hot limn mm
skimmed milk, then add the mixture
of pitch and oil, a little at a time,
stirring all the while; finally add
three pounds of holted whiting. If
too stout to work well, add more of
the milk. The addition of a little
clear, fresh brine will add to the
wearing qualities of the whitewash.
Such a mixture requires a little work
to get in shape, but when properly
mixed and applied, is superior to
many of the cheap readv-mixed
paints.

Cotton (iinnfng by Tuklng All tb?
Lint From the Seed mid i'ost Less
to OfM*rutc.
The Norfolk, Va., Ledger-Diaj
patch tolls of a most wonderful cotton
gin that litis boon invcntod by a
, citizen of its town. Hero is a de|
scription of tho gin as we find it
in tho Lodger-Dispatch:
It will bo of interest to tho people
'of Norfolk to know that a Norfolk
num. J. .1. McNally, has invented and
patented a cotton gin that bids fair
(to revolutionize tho cotton industry
| of tho South. Mr. McNally has been
I diligently applying himself to tho
construction of this gin for the last
two years, in one of the largest machine
shops in New Kngland, and
now reports he has it perfected. Mr.
T. II. Hirdsong, a prominent ginner
of Courtland, Va., was in tho city
to day en route home from Boston,
Moss., where he had gone to inspect
the working of this gin. When seen
111' 't rinififtur / it' t tin I nilrri.f^ lli^ti'ilnli
he seemed very enthusiastic over
what he had witnessed, and expressed
himself most emphatically as to its j
merits, Mr. Hridsong said:
"The ?in Mr. McNally h;us invented
will ,in my opinion, prove to be a
complete success and no doubt revolutionize
the cotton ginning industry
of the South. I witnessed its
successful operation, saw It rapidly
pull seed without breaking a single
strand and leaving no linters on the
seed and, what is most remarkable,
wthout the use of saws, knives or
brushes. Jt is a very simple affair,
constructed entirely of metal, and
does not require more than one-third
the horse-power required by the saw
gin."'
Mr. Birdsong showed the reporter
some cotton seed taken from the McNally
gin and stated: "I have seen
a great amount of cotton ginned,
hut I have never wen the seed strip
pod of lint ho clean as that which
passes through this Kin.
"1'ho invention Is a process of
ginning on entirely now linos from
tho old, and gins wot cotton as woll
as dry, and is tho only gin I have
over soon that would successfully
do this. While in Boston I conferred
with several capitalists who
aro desirous of taking a financial
interest in the project and placing
tho gin upon the market in time for
next season's work.
".Mr. McNally is to ship his gin
to my ginnery at Court land next
week, whore it will bo installed and
given an endurance and capacity tost
upon thirty bales of cotton I have
hold over just for this purpose.
Kxports from Boston and elsewhere
are anxious to witness its operation
and will be on hand when notified,
and I have no doubt but what they
will see a complete success in the
operation of this gin."
Mr. T. H. Synon, of this city, who
has an interest with Mr. McNally in
this ?in project, and financing the
same, was seen and he said: "The
machine which Mr. Birdsong saw operate
is Mr. McNally's fifth construction
of this Kin before he got it perfected,
and 110 doubt is an improvement
upon the fourth one I saw
operated last October, when I was
called to Boston by Mr. McN'nlly to
consider an offer for our Kin patents,
that was made us by one of the leading
firms of that city. We decided
not to consider any proposition in advance
of an organization and not
until we had machines in operation
in ginneries, but we did accept their
offer for machines to he sent to
Kgypt and Peru. The McNally pneumatic
gin was recently seen by a
party from Mississippi, one of th"
largest and most expert ginners in
the South. He was very much interested
and is now negotiating
with with us. for the purchase of a
number of them. It has been seen
in operation by nearly all the prominent
cotton men of Boston and they
stated it should make a saving of
?t ' ant $5 per bale by the increased
length of the fibre, and this would
mean a saving of $05,000,000 a year
fo the planters of the South alone."
Mr. Synon stated that he would
endeavor to have these gins manufactured
In Norfolk when the time
comes.
Besides this gin, Mr. McNally has
also Invented and patented a continuous
oil press now in successful operation
in a number of oil factories
in the South.
Kngland's Colonies.
The Imperial Press Conference in
London seems to have been a really
important meeting. While sight seeing,
banquets and other social courtesies
consumed a good deal of the
lime there was also much Interchange
of thought resulting in a clearer understanding
of some vital questions.
Perhaps the most significant thing
about the conference was the emphatic
recognition by members of the
British government that the selfgoverning
colonies are really Independent.
Lord Crewe, Colonial Secretary,
in presiding at one of the
sessions referred to the colonies as
"equals and allies."
KNOWS HOW TO FARM
SOMK VALIAHLK LKSSONS FROM
A UOOI> FARMER
\V!m? Fa mo Prom Ohio is Search of
Health und Settled nn a North
Carolina Farm.
Mr. A. L. French recently told a
Progressive Farmer reporter, who
visited Sunny Home Stock Farm, an
interesting story of his success on
a North Carolina farm, which the
reporter writes up as follows for his
paper:
Mr. French finished putting up GO
tons of ha> at 0:110 one morning and
' caught a train at 9 o'clock to begin
his institute work. At one of the
j first institutes, after Mr. French had
j finished talking, an old man back in
the audience arose and said that the
speakers were not farmers at all, but
men who were talking of something
of which they had no practical
knowledge. Mr. French's reply was
brief and to the point, "I will'show
lists with you," ho said, extending
his hand calloused by the toil of the!
hay field, "and the people who are !
here can judge which of us has been j
doing the most real farming lately."
Mr. French's farming might teach
some lessons of great profit to many
of the men who seem to think they
are practical farmers because they,
have to work so hard to make a |
living on their farms.
In the first place, Mr. French's:
farm answers the question, "Can
farming he made to pay?" Coming
from Ohio eight years ago on account
of his health, he bought a place
I of LMO acres for $ 1 L' per acre. It
was overgrown with weeds, briers !
and bushes except where a hard, poor
soil refused to grow anything but
poverty grass. Portions were so
rocky as to be almost untlllable. Mr.
French now values his farm at $t>0
per acre anil has refused $5 for it.
This improvement has been made
from the farm itself. It has paid its
o w n w a y.
Mr. French, it seems to us, has
also answered the question, "How
shall we build up our poor lands?"
We rode over a field that was prepared
for corn, deep, loose, mellow
and full of humus, good for GO to t>0
bushels per acre. When Mr. French
got the farm it is doubtful it' the
field would have made 10 bushels
per acre. We walked through another
tield where the clover was
thick, deep and luxuriant, telling of
a profitable crop this year and in the
years that are to follow. When Mr.
French got the farm much of this
tield was absolutely barren: and vet
I he has never applied one hit of cominercial
fertilizer to it. Indeed, in
the eight years on th<? 240 acres, all
of which are cultivated, he has used
only $4.10 worth of commercial fertilizers,
practically all of which was
acid phosphate.
This farm has been built up, as
we b? lieve many others could be, nv
the growing and feeding of live
stock. Mr. French had on his farm
at the time of our visit 60 cattbi,
7 0 head of hogs and about 140 sheep.
He expects to fatten SO to 100 hogs
next fall, and he keeps practically
th?* same number of cattle all the
time and from 60 to 110 sheep.
Another question to which it
seems Mr. French's experience aff<
rds a good answer is rhe qu si ion
:>y. to what it takes to make a profitable
farm. The answer indicated is,
"A piece of land and a man who
knows how to handle it."
Fight years ago he brought '..he
first two-horse planter into his neighborhood.
One of his neighbors, win
is himself a very good farmer, came
over in a few days and saw the machine.
"French," said he, "I have always
heard that you Yankees were hardworking
people, but it seems to me
that you spend most of your time
trying to keep out of work." Of
course, as a good Southerner, this
neighbor would not be outdone by a
Yankee, so he had .Mr. French to
order a two-horse planter for him,
and now there are six or seven in
his community.
The second year Mr. French was
on his farm, his father and mother
came down from Ohio to see the
place he had bought in the South.
His father, who was used to the
fertile lands of northern Ohio, went
out and looked over the place, then
V\'i ?n t ill t ho It AtlUii f A toll Vila x%j i ('?
??' ii t 111 i in; r vj i-v vi ii ui?i n nn
about It. The wife of our Mr. French
heard the two old people discussing
th<' farm, and Mr. French, Sr., said
sadly, "Mother, 1 never thought we
should ever raise such a fool."
Today this "fool" has a farm which
would be an object lesson to thousands
of farmers In our territory, ho
has increased the value of his place
many fold, has made a reputation as
a breeder of One cattle, and as a
writer and speaker on agricultural
subjects. This Is what real, sureenough,
intelligent farming along improved
lines will do on the poor
lands of tho South.
There's hardly anything so good
for a man's standing in a community
as to get a lot of some other man's
money away from him.

The Firemen Are Dissatisfied With
at
Verdict. ^
to
A special dispatch from Atlanta fti
to Augusta says there is the "keen- o>
est dissatisfaction among the firemen
as a result of the decision hand- 01
?id down Saturday night by the arbit
rat ion board, which was in ses- 'n
sion in Atlanta during the week to ^
determine the differences of the or- 1(1
der of Locomotive Firemen and Kn- ca
glnemen and the Georgia road.
A. 1'. Kelly, third vice president 1,1
of the firemen says that the award
is an outrage, leaving the. firemen ',1
of the Georgia road in a worse condition
than before they went on
strike. He points out that it takes
from the firemen what they had be- j;
fore and gives them nothing of
what they demand. It is his opinion
that tho award leaves it possible
for the wages of white and
negro firemen to l>e equalized by the ,r
reduction of the wages of white fire- w
men as well as by raising the wages ir
of negro firemen. ir
He says that th<> seniority which t
prevailed among white firemen be- rr
fore tho arbitration proceedings is w
destroyed by the section which de- T
tiles seniority of white over negro sj
firemen. It is his opinion that there hi
is now no seniority among the fire- tl
men of the Georgia road. Promo- c
tlon depends entirely on selection by tt:
ofiicers of the road. He is bitter rc
against Neill, commissioner of la- w
bor, who. with Martin A. Knapp,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
commission induced arbitration. He
says that Mr. Neill has not. dealt
fairly with tho firemen.

White found the nude body of
n white man at the west side of Co-v
oniai Lake, near the Hood Rate, Tueslay
morning at daybreak, and Investigation
showed that he was drowned.
His clot bos were found at the north

I'ndortaker Stulir took charge of
he body at the instance of Mr. C.
I. Keanoy, who is said to be eonteeted
with the dead man, and wbc
eecived a long distance message
rorn Augusta to havo the body takn

Coroner O'Donell hurried to the
ake a few minutes after the call
aine to him from the police station,
nd he had the body removed from
he shallow water where it watj lying
ace downward and it was tah?m to
he Kopor hospital to await identiIcarton.
There were no marks of violence
n the body, which was quite nude.,
"he clothes of the deceased were disovered
on the concrete curbing near
he place where his body was found,
nd the water all about was only
rom two to four feet deep, todiating
that he must have taken a
lunge last night some time, perhaps
rith the lnteution of cooling off,

The envelope found with his name

There is no doubt that the death
