also nearly completed by him.
The annual meeting of the Hilling
Cotton Mill, Kings Mtn., N. C., was
held this week, and a dividend of 8

half Jan., 1, next. Capt. F. Dilling,
the treasurer and manager is one of
the highest examples of successful
Southern mill men.
In addition to many South Carolina
cotton mills seeking cotton at
Charleston, the Augusta cotton mills
had to send there for cotton this week.
They purchased several thousand
hales at 7$c to 7^c. One Charleston
firm which has been holding over 10,-
000 bales for a number of years in
hopes of getting ten cents for it, is
now disposing of its stock.
Andrew Broom, age 19, who has
been working in the Chester, S. C.,
cotton mills, shot and killed a negro
named Davis last Saturday night in
Charlotte. At the trial Tuesday he
was released; as it was clear case of
self-defence, tne negro having begun
throwing rocks at him. Broom how
ever, was hound over to court in the
sum of $25 for carrying a concealed
weapon.
Zeb Austin, of the Highland Park
Mill, Charlotte, had a tight with a
number of his fellow workman last
Saturday night at Latta Park. His
cloths were cut into ribbons, and his
flesh was carved in about a dozen
different places from chin to knee;
three of the cuts on his arm only
stopped at the bone. He was nicely
sewed up Monday morniug when he
and his assailants appeared before
the Mayor, and were all bound over
to court by bonds of $50.
“It matters not," says A. M. Price,
Superintendent of the Linclon and
Laboratory Cotton Mills, Lincoln-
ton, X.C., ‘‘whether it rains or shines,
or whether it is hot or cold, the work
upon our machinery goes equally the
same the year round. Of course,”
continued Mr. Price, “the machinery
must be altered to humor the stock
when it is being manipulated unde**
different conditions. Speeds and
twists do the business.”. The Lincoln
Cotton MiH* are building a new dam.
Elm Grove Mills, Lincolnton, N.
0., bus its surrounding grounds ns
beautiful as ever. NYe don’t know a
mill whose entrance gate is so nicely
fixed, and the paths that lead to it
so well decorated, with lawns of
deepest green and many colored
flowers. The Elm Grove Mills arc
doing first-rate, all the yarns that
can be produced therein are at once
sold. Margins, however, are small
on account of cotton being high in
price. The company is now running
the front roll of their spinning
frames very high, on 20s.
The Long Shoals Cotton Mills,
Long Shoals, X. C., has all its ma
chinery moving right along, having
all they can do, spinning from 10s to
26s, and all of which is nearly sold
up. The yarn looks well. If it was
not for the poor neglected farmers
getting so much for their cotton,
every man that understood how to
manufacture cotton, as it can be
manufactured would be making
something over expenses today. The
writer knows a yarn mill that will
clear this year, if they keep going
on as they have been doing, $20,000,
and a wee bit over.

Don’t Northern Cora, but Got tho
Be-.t From Vo or Own Section.
Professor Massey of North Carolina,
having been consulted as to the advisa
bility of procuring seed corn from the
north to plant in tJie south, writes the
following letter to Home and Farm:
We do not think it advisable to get
seed corn from the north for southern
planting. It will take some time to fully
acclimatize it, and you can get better
coni suited to your climate by a careful
selection at home from what you already
have. If the corn in yonr section is “all
runout,” it is the fault of the culti
vators and not of the climate. The way
in which seed corn is Usually selected
in the south is enough to run out any
thing. The proper way to improve corn
for seed is to make the selection in the
field. Have a section of ihe field planted
in the kind of corn you wish to save for
seed and give it the best of care and
manuring, deep preparation, but shal
low and level cultivation. As soon ar
the tassels begin to show go through tin
piece and cut out the tassels from every
stalk that does not show an ear coming.
Select for seed vigorous stalks that set
two ears and mark them to stand till
perfectly mature. Save only the ear
next the ground for seed. It will not
probably be the finest looking ear, but
save it only even if it is a nubbin. It
you continually save the top ear for
seed, you increase the tendency to pro- ;
dace the ear farther and farther from
the ground and also iner* ase the tend- I
eucy to bear but one ear. By continuous
saving of the bottom ear 1 you get the
corn in the habit of producing its crop
near the ground and the habit of bearing
two ears.
Plant this selected corn the next year
and piant the seed pateh with the same
and pursue the same course of selection.
It will take years to produce striking re
sults, but if yon persevere you will final
ly get a race of com that will put
money in your pocket for seed purposes.
Do not in your latitude select corn for
earliness. You have plenty of time tc
mature the biggest, and the large, late
maturing corn will always tiring you the
heaviest crop. Northward corn has been
selected with a view to earl mess. Corn
more than any other grain we know of
dislikes to bo removed far north or south
of its uativo loculitv, and. though it
will adapt itself to the changed condi
tions, it takes time to do it, and you
will do better to select from yonr own
stock. Get the best com yon can find in
yonr own section to start with, and, my
word for it. if you follow up the plan
proposed you will find that we are right.

Comparative Profith and YIHtlit From Fer
tilized Holla aad L'ufertili/.ert Soil*.
Farmers’ bulletin No. 48 considers
among the questions of importance the
yield 8. d profit from the use of fertili
zers on cotton as compared with the yield
and profit from unfertilized soil.
The results of experiments instituted
on this line vary greatly with the na
ture of the soil, the seasons, the culture
and the kinds and amounts of manures
employed. With the exception of those
upon one class of soils, however, they
all agree in demonstrating that large
profit attends the judicious manuring of
cotton. The exception is in the case of
the “black prairie,” or “eanebrake,”
soils of the alluvial fonniUious of the !
gulf states. Experini' iits upon such soils
at the Alabama stations indicate that !
no compensating returns may be ex
pected from the use of manures “except (
crushed cotton seed and cottonseed meal,
and even with these the returns are j
small.” Drainage and good mechanical
tillage seem to be the chief needs of these
soils. Upon other soils of Alabama,
however, “the percentage of profit from
a judicious use of fertilizers, followed |
by intelligent cultivation, is most satis- j
factory.” Ujioii a poor, sandy soil, with i
no retentive clay within three feet of
the surface, *“even with unusual ex- }
pense for fertilizers, the increase result
ing from the use of commercial manures
paid 85 per cent profit on cost. ”
Covered Flurries.
A few years ago at Orlando, Fla., it
was discovered that pineapples grown
under a shelter giving a half shado were
superior in size and quality. Experi
ments on this line show that a per
manent shelter—rough strips 8 inches
wide, running north and south, 3 inches
apart and raised 7 feet above the ground
—would not only give protection from
ordinary frosts, but that the fruit pro
duced was larger and finer than could
bo grown in the open air. This fact is
so well established that many growers
are providing shelters in localities ex
empt from frost. ,
Several pineries at Orlando were prov
ing exceedingly successful when over
taken by the freezes of 1894-5. The
shelters were not intended to withstand
such weather as that, and the plants
were killed to the ground. But, says a
writer in Lippiucott’s, and authority
for the foregoing, it soon became evi
dent the roots were nuiujured, and the
same plants 18 mouths afterward were
paying so well that all the pineries are
being enlarged and others are being
planted.
A Ncir Frolt Pest.
A new pest is reported to be making
havoc among the oranges and lemons in
California. It is a form of fungus which
appears ui>on the surface of the frnit,
varying with the duration of time that
the frnit has been off the trees. This
disease is receiving investigation by
professors of the agricultural college of
the state university.
A Garden Marker.
T. Greiner thinks that a marker
made as suggested by the accompanying
illustration from Farm and Fireside
will lie found to be the ideal marker:
It has tracer wheels something on the
principle of a dressmaker’s tracer wheel.
The marker disk (and there may be as

Tim Palmetto State.
The Charleston News and Conrier
thus explains the origin of Hbulh Caro
lina’s nickname, the Palmstto State:
“On June 28, 1776, a force of less than
100 Carolinians under command of
Moultrie, protected by the rude fortifi
cation on Sullivan’s island, in Charles
ton harior, made of the trunks of tho
palmetto, repulsed the attacks of a
British fleet under command of Sir
Peter Parker, and when tho state of
South Carloina was organized the state
seal, which was first used iu May, 1777,
was made to commemorate this victory.
A palm tree growing erect on the sea
shore represents the strength of the
fort, while at its base an oak tree torn
from the ground aud deprived of its
branches recalls the British fleet, built
of oak timber, overcome by the pal
metto. ”
Ho* Closets.
The uses of the common wooden store
box are legion. Ail sorts of cupboards
and chairs have been made from it. Its
most convenient use for summer is as a
catch all for things that are handy to
have about, like the watering pot, (lie
trowel or the lawn shears. It can be set
up against the wall and painted the col
or of the house, or if kept on the veran
da a pretty color of burlap may be used
to cover it. For veranda use it may he
covered with one of the striped couch
rugs and used as a sort of table with
the children’s playthings inside it. For
this purpose it should be set up on end,
Experiments made under direction of ue s «* a P 0,1
e Arkansas station indicate that “fer- I ^, U 1 11 ’T 1 mll K against the liouse.—-
Denver limes.
the Arkansas station indicate that “ter
tilizers are generally remunerative,”
the percentage of profit ranging from 20
to 180. Five hundred pounds per acre
of rotted cotton seed gave a net profit of
$3.03. Five hundred pounds each of cot
ton seed, at $6.50 per ton, and cotton
seed meal, at $20 per ton, gave equal
financial profit.
At the Georgia station the use of com
mercial fertilizers was almost always
profitable, the percentage of profit rang
ing from 5 to 250.
The stations of Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina aud South Carolina ob
tain similar results from experiments
and indicate that “tho application of
fertilizing material to cotton seems,
with few exceptions, to be profitable.”
To the teaching of these specific ex
periments may be added the general ex
perience of the great bulk of the cpttOn
planters, and it may be accepted as
proved that cotton responds favorably to
artiflckil manuring and that upon most
of the soils of the cotton states all kinds
of manures, including concentrated com
mercial fertilizers at the prices at which
they are commonly held, are profitable
when judiciously used.
A Cheap Roller*
Six blocks were cut, a foot long, off a
white oak log alx)ut 2 feet in diameter.
A hoo was bored through the center of

The Farmer*’ Cabbage.
While market gardeners aro finding
late cabbage sold too cheaply to allow
them any profit, this does not appear to
be the fact with fanners who have
cheaper land, says American Cultivator.
Here is the explanation given by the
authority referred to:
The excess of fertility in the market
garden does not count for growing late
cabbage, as tho heads have to be turned
down in order to prevent them from
splitting. Any good com land with a
dressing of manure will be rich enough
for the late cabbage crop. The secret is
in manuring and plowing the land early,
and then thoroughly workiug it until
the last of June or first of July, when
the cabbage is to bo planted. This fills
the soil full of plant food, and the-plants
will grow better at first than will those
of the market gardener following some
early crop. Four thousand b^id of cab
bage per acre, at 2 or 3 cents A head,
make a return larger than mOsTfymtcs
get from an acre by average form crops.
Formalin For Potato Scab.
Formalin has been tested at the Indi
ana station in place of corrosive subli
mate for scab. Formalin comes in one
iMiumi bottles, containing a 40 per cent
solution, which is a colorless and odor
less liquid. “Add half a pint to 15
gallons of water, soak the seed potatoes
two hours and then cut the plant, ” For
malin is more expensive than corrosive
Buolimate, but it is not poisonous to
animals.
Fermented Honey.
In Langstroth’srcvisi d edition occurs
the following: “If any honey should
ferment, let no one thini: that it is
spoiled, unless it was really unrip*' aud
has turned quite sour. A slight amount
of alcoholic ferment can be evaporated
readily by melting the honey over water,
when the ferment cseaiies iu the shape
of foam. As this fem:»-utJtiou is caused
by the presence of unripe honey, some
of our friends sneered in entirely pre
venting it by melting all their honey
immediately after granulation. Tho
melting evaporates all* xcssof moisture
contained in it, and we highly com
mend this method. ”
Nervous
People often wonder why their nerves aro
so weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
Palpitation of tha Heart.
The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is contin
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
, instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
do not cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla feeds
, the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives'’
natural sleep, perfect digestion, self-
control, vigorous health, and is the
true remedy tor all nervous troubles.
