MILL BUILDING IN THE SOUTH. Baltimore Newa. Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of The Mamtfactum?' Record who has just returned from a trip of several weeks through the South, in an inter view with The News gives some inter esting facts regarding tho prosperity which is so noticeable throughout that entiro section. 44 Iu every hue of business, both mercantile and manufacturing," said Mr. Edmonds, "the activity is greater titan lias over been known before in tho South. There is a spit it of hope fulness, such as has not been seen for souic years, though then; is an entire absence of the boom spirit or specula tive activity which prevailed some eight or ten years ago. All business interests seem to be founded on the most substantial basis and the progress which is being made is simply phenom enal. Th s activity is not confined to any one line of business, but covers every industry and every part of the South. "In textile circles it is illustrated by the faci that at the t resent time there are between 7"> a: d 100 new] mills under couslruction, which will be equipped With over 760,000 spindles, representing an investment of about $18,000,000 to $20,000,000. Adding to this tlie enlargement of established mills, some ?25,(100,000 ot new money is now being put into Southern cotton mills, but even at this tale of devel opment there seems to be no possible danger of the business being overdone, so long as it is wisely managed. In round ilgurcs, there are about 100,000, 000 SpindlCS In the world. Ihr South furnishes about three-fourths of the world's cotton supply, or sutlicicnt, ex pressed in another way, to tun, -ay, 70,000,000 of tlie world's spindles, and yet, including the mills now under construction, has less than 0,000,000 spindles. ISVOU should the South add to its cotton-mauutacluring business tin average of 1,000,0(10 to 1,000,000 spindles a year, as seems probably, it would, at the end of 10 years have 18,000,000 to -20,00,000 spindles, re presenting a capital of about ?-100,000, 000, or enough spindles to continue, say, about one-thitd of its average cot ton crop ; but in 10 years from now the cotton crop, instead of averaging 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 bales, will run to at least 10,000,000 to 18,000,000 bales. "Heretofore the cotton mill activity has been hugely centered in the Caro linas and Georgia, these till CO States having over 1,000,000 out of a total of about 0,000,000 spindles in the South, lint the movement is new spreading farther South, and Alabama and Mis sissippi are beginning to lake an active part in the work. Mississippi, which has not heretofore been classed as much of a cotton manufacturing Stale, is building about a half dozen nulls, and a number of others ate under or ganization ; while in AuilistOU, Ala., wlure there are already two or three mills in operation, three new mills have been definitely decided upon for immediate construction, and ncgotin tions are pending for two others. In lluntsville several very large mills arc being built, and other towns are going to follow tho lead of ihe Carolinas and Georgia. "The Southern cotton mills have been exceedingly fortunate this year iu having laid in a large amount of cotton early in the season, when prices were low. The majority of Southern mills purchased a good portion of the quantity required for their year's con sumption at an average ot slO to $1."? a ?^bale less than cotton is now bringing. ^k^Jnrgc mill in Carolina, in which HBO^^^Vhti'imore pccpli iutcicsted, ?^^las 50,(inn bales on which the rise in Y price has made a prolit of si 5 a bale, or about $100,000 before the.cotton is tinned into the manufactured goods. It is reported that the Mount Vetnon * Woodi erryCottou Duck combination is ahead iu the same way to the extent of probably 50,000 bales bought at 810 or $15 a bale less than present prices. Nearly all Southern niills were fortu nate enough to see ahead of anyone else that the crop was short,-and their persistent buying of everything in sight early in the. season was the first thing thai Started tho'upward market. It is probably safe to say that South ern mills will make $8,000,000 or slo, 000,000 clear gain on the advance in their raw cetlon this season, in addi tion 10 the profits which they are mak ing in their regular manufacturing busiuess. The advance in cotton " ill make tho crop worth to the South pos sibly as.much as 870,000,000 more I ban , tho big crop of the preceding year yielded. "In iron and coal mining interests, the activity and prosperity ate equally as great. Every coal mine and iron plant in the South is pushed to its ut most capacity at profits that make glad the heart of the stockholders. So great is this activity that tlie chic trouble is the scarcity of labor aiuFthe lack of sufficient rolling slock qn the railroads to promptly handle tlie busi ness. The demand for coal, coke and iron, far exceeds the output, sind or ders for domestic consumption, as well as for export, arc being constantly re fused. The iron and mineral intoiests of the South generally have now been put on the most solid foundation, with the prospect for the same regular divi dend-earning power which the cotton mill interests have enjoyed for so many. years, when net earnings of 15 per cent, to 2C> per cent., oven dining dull times, have not been unusual to cotton mill stockholders, though divi dends hnve usually been made on the basis of H per cent, to 10 per cent., and the balance added to surplus. Working under these conditions, a gtcat many Southern mills have a sur plus invested in additional plant about equal to ihcir original capital. ? "In tho Alabama iron and conl re gion every industry is being driven to its utmost, und but for the scarcity of labor and of cars the output of. coal mines, coke ovens and furnaces would be vciy largely increased. With tho return of more favorable weather as spring opens up, il will bo possible to secure additional help, as the negro Inborcrs will not work to tho best ad vantage in cold weather ; and the rail roads aro doing their utmost to meet the demand for cars. Largo orders from abroad for coal and coke ace be ing constantly refusod, because of the inability to incroaso production rapidly enough to even keep up with the do mestic demand. Notwithstanding the high prices prevailing orders from Eu rope aro also being received for pig iron, and if producers were willing to shade pi ices they could placo very heavy coulracts in Europe ; but as most of them aro sold six months ahead, they aic not inclined to consider further business for the present. Tho Alabama iron people, who liavo de monstrated their ability to develop this great mdustry to a point wliero they can command tho world's markets and to dictate tho world'* prices on pig iron whenever there is competition for bus iness, can see no possible lesson why the present prosperity should not con tlnuo for years to come. Should Ainer icau consumption ?lacken, foreign markets will tako all of tho output which Alabama producers want to ex port, and, as prices in England and Germany arc nearly on a parity with our prices, any marked decliue iu iron secfn3 to bo out of the question for some time to come. A moderate de cline iu price would not, 1 think, ho undesirable, in that it would immedi ately bring into our markets heavy or der from Europe. " Turning from cotton and iron and coal, tho same activity and prosperity prevails in the lumber interests, phos phasc mining, fertilizer manufactur ing, cotton oil mill business and other branches of manufacturing. I am iu cllucd to think that it is a safe estimate to say that the entire manufacturing business of the South will average pro tits at least 10 per cent, on the total capital invested greater thai! last year, and as the capital invested in Southern manufacturing is over $1,000,000.000, I this ought to add ?100,000,000 extra I profit to \hn profits of last year. In I some cases I learn that tin; profits for this year will be greater than the ag gregate profits of the three preceding years. The enhancement in tho value of limber properties and the prosperity in lumber interests are as marked as in iron and cotton. "With a few years more of (his great activity ami large profits in business, tho South will have an Immense re-1 servo of accumulated capital, and its Industrial and business development will go forward with increased rapidity. The whole situation from the V irginias to Texas is more promising than the South has been since 1800." Co-Opishativk IJoai) Making.-? What farmers can do by co-operation in the matter of road making is interest ingly told by a Michigan correspondent of the Orange Judd Fanner. It is a sandy country whore the correspondent lives, and the roads were generally poor throughout the year. Toe town was poor also, and refused to improve the highways. Then the farmers de cided to help themselves. About live years ago twenty-five of them came to gether and offered to haul marl one day free if the township would allow them to take the marl from its bed. The township Was willing, and about twenty men volunteered to shovel and level the marl, and so the first half mile was laid. That road proved such a success that the next year an other half tniie was put down. This marl pa ked down so hard and made such excellent bed lor gravel that the farmers donated $225 and la bor for about one-quai ter mile ot grav el. This being put on in what was al ways a wot place, it was spread about eight inches thick. Next year S250 ! was collected and about one-half mile was put down spreading this only about ' four inches. This year only $100 was j collected, but a quarter mile snip was ! put down, finishing the mile started live years before. Besides this about a half mile of marl was put down ready for gravel next fall. This action of the farmers stirred up the. townspeo ple at large, and now the town has of fered to raise SliOO for gravel if the farmers will furnish the labor to spread j it. That they will do willingly. Fakmkk Dios Up Fossils.?Evid ? ences of a prehistoric civilization on 1 what is now the broad prairie laud of i Kansas have been dug from thirty feet ! below the surface of the ground by J, I W. Dice, an Allen County farmer. Mr I Dleo has also discovered some lcmarka j blc fossils of ancient animals. His first discovery was ou the hanks ' of Neoftfao river, whore the stream joins i his farm near Neosho Falls. It con I sisted of the skeletons ol two immense buffalo, which were found standing ; erect between twenty and twenty live ? feel below the surface. Their positions ! were natural, indicating that they had I been suddenly caught by some sub 1 terrancan disturbance or swallowed by a bed of quicksand. Immediately.over them was growing a walnut tree meas uring .four leet In diameter. This tree was without doubt between '300 And ?100 years old. Most interesting, however, of the I discoveries by Mr. Dice are parts of a ? human image which seems to have been , made out ot concrete, though it may ; have been carved from a peculiar stone j not known to this age. These pieces ! are found about thirty feet beneath the surface. To ascertain to what age they belonged or what hands probably made them will be an interesting study for scientists, flic workmanship secuis to have been as artistic as modern sculpture. The vicinity it; which they were found was occupied by Ihe Indians un til about thirty-live years ago, and since that time it has been an unfrequented prairie. The latest Kansas corn yarn is at tributed to a PonriSylvaniun who is now visiting relatives in Kansas City, and who is said to have written home as follows: "Most of the streets are paved, the grains of corn being used lor cobblestones, while the cobs are hollowed out and used for s?wer pipe. The husks when taken off whole and stood on end make a nice tent for the children to play in. It sounds queer to hear the feed men tell the driver to take a dozen grains of horse feed over to Jackson's liVery stable. If it were not for soft, deep soil here I don't sec how they ever would harvest the corn, as the stalks would grow up in the air as high as a Methodist church steeple. However, when the ears get too heavy their weight presses the stalk down in the ground on an average of ninety two feet; this brings the ear near enough to the ground to be chopped off with an axe." Charleston, III., claims to own the largest broom corn warehouse In the world. Its capacity is nearly 2,000 tons, or about 10,000 bales of "brush." This is about one-quarter of the total tonnage of this district, which produces probably two-thirds of the werldls supply. About 8,000 acros of ground are required to grow the supply for this big warehouse, aud it represents tho product of over one hundred fanners. Dust from Ficuch blast furnaces contains 4.0 per cent, of potash and 20.5 of lime, and proves an excellent fertilizer for sorgo soils. - W? ? ?? Oo You Nectt An Kleetrlc lielt?

A spiny of heavy oil added to tlie i fuel of bhiBt furnaces has been found I in Franco to facilitate reduction of ore and increase the yield. The Eucomiii ulmoidts, iu which Professor Dybowsky has found 28 per cent, of gutta perchn, is abundant in some of the British colonies, but has beeu hitherto regarded as a worthless plant. The divining rod, as a means of Und ing Ulldor-grouod water, is being made a subject of scientillc investigation by a French commission, who seek infor mation from everybody having it. Tlie results are expected to prove more interesting than important. A new treatment of arc light carbons, patented by J. T. Uobiuson, is claimed I to increase the durability, improve the light, and lessen the. consumption of energy. The carbon pencils are soak ed two to four days in a solution of caustic soda or potash containing pow dered tnlcous asbestos. The well known powerful action ol ' fluorine upon glass is showu by M. Moissan to depend upon the presence of hydrotluorlc acid ami moisture as impurities. Perfectly clean, dry glass is uuattacked after weeks of contact with pure lluoriuo, but the merest trace of organic matter on the glas* leads to the formation of hydrofluoric acid and corrosion. Air pipes of strong sail-cloth, impregnated with rubber, are made by a D?sseldorf firm for uso in mines. They are air aud water light, and pos sess numerous advantages over pipes of wood or slue, being cheaper und lighter, easily put up and made fast, and readily removed out of danger from blasts and replaced. Steel rings are Inserted at intervals to keep the piping from kinking around sharp curves. In the Laif as system of autoinatical lv stopping railway trains, to prevent accidents, a block in the middle ol the track is set by tho signal man. This block has a curved sin face, which, when the signal is standing at danger, is so raised that a rod with n little wheel makes contact and actuates the valve of the air brake placed either on the engiuo or ou one of the cars. In a recent English test, a train of an engine and nine cars, with a total weight of 1(10 tons, was run on a slight downward incline. On touching the block at a speed of 20 miles an hour, the train stopped in 140 yards, at 110 miles in "200 yards and at 36 miles iu 210 yards. Anti-typhoid inoculations made by l'rof. A. E, Wright among British troops in India seem to have given very promising results. The tola! number of men under observation was 11,205, of whom 2,S."15 had been inocu lated and 8,400 had not, and the inocu lated were mostly newly arrived young men, especially liable to typhoid fc\er, while the uuinoculaled were mainly more seasoned and less susceptible individuals. Yet the percentage of the uninoculated attacked by typhoid fever was 2.5 and among the inoculated il was 0.05. The deaths were less af fected, having been 0.34 per cent, among the uninoculated and 0.2 among the inoculated. A curious case of nettle-rash duo. to eye-strain has been recorded by Dr. C. A. Oliver, a Pennsylvania physician. Tho patient was an active, healthy woman of 47, who up to her forty-first year had suffered from an unaccounta , ble eruption, which disappeared when she was fitted with a pair of lenses for constant use to correct defects of her vision. Pour years later a return of the eye trouble, with the eruption, led her to seek new glasses. This time there was an elabotate correction of eve defects, and the skin disturbance vanish id. Further experiments proved a true relationship between the. general vasomotor disturbance and the refract ive and muscular anomalies. Ono of the most remarkable hollows in the earth is the Lukcbun depression discovered a short time ago iu Centra) Asia. Results of meteorological obser vations in the place for two years have just been made known in Russia by General Tillo, and from his barometric Comparisons it appears that tho lowest spot in the region must be about 400 feet below sea-level. The meteorologi cal condition* arc of unusual interest. The barometer has n greater yearly range than in any other spot known, tlie monthly averages for January be ing 1.2 inches greater than those for July, and tho highest July temperature (118 degrees F.) is ono of tho highest observed in Asia. Tho dryness of the air equals that of the Sahara. The shape of propeller blades is a shipbuilding detail that seems to bo not yet fully worked out. On tho theory that some projection on the blades should give a bolter grip of the water, F. S. Snowdon and W. J. Orr have titled Iwo battens OD each blade, and in a small craft tested in Now Zea land waters the clTect of the change has been to give an increase of over ten per cent, iu speed. The same propeller was used, while liie load and tho number of revolutions of the engine were the same as before the addition of tho battens. Two channels arc formed by the battens, which arc roughly L shaped, and the water is thus prevented from slippingoff in the usual easy way. Suitable setting of tho battens tends to throw the wnter in toward the center, giving the pro peller more solid water to act upon. Tho sounds of earthquakes have re ceived little attention. From a lato paper by Dr.. C. Davison, it appears that they approach tho lower limit of audibility, and they are frequently dis tinct to some, observers while others equally alert hoar nothing. In earth quakes among Englishmen sound is usually perceived beforo nnd aftor tho shuck. In Japan evon violent earth quakes aro frequently unnoticed by the ear, while sound is seldom hoard aftor the ehock?tho conclusion being that tho Japanese have inforioi perception for deep sounds; Tho character and duration of tho sounds vniy to different auditors. A deep rumbling, like that of a heavy wagon passing, is gcnornlly hoard; hut nt the epicenter of tho enrthquako loud crashes may bo dis tinguished, which further away be come rougher and moro grinding, and at a great distance may bo subdued into a low and monotonous roll liko dis tant thunder. Earth-sounds without shocks, appearing to bo earthquakes too weak to bo felt, are sometimes heard. Eaithqunkes aro supposed by Dr. Davison to bo caused by tho slip ping of rocks along faults, and th* ?ound-vlbrations are traowd chiefly to th? margins of the slides. / ABOUT THE CULTIVATION OF RICE IN THE PIEDMONT. Mil. Editoii: Last year I tried rice m two dozen or more places, on var ious characters of soil, wet and dry, the eultivatiou beiug that coinmou to uplaud and water cultuie. No real uplaud was tried at all, though the bottoms upon which an effort was made to grow it was sub jected to upland culture. Some of these bottom lands were good coru lands, but rather low, and some too j wet for corn ; some j^m q stiff clay, twenty men were entrusted wilhauood share of the lands in rice. The me thod of cultivation wur that usually given to cotton. The grouud was thoroughly prepared, rows laid off about feet wide, two inches deep and twenty or thirty seed dropped every fifteen inches. The after culture was plowing and hoeing about as 1 would a cotton crop. The rice grew well, and so did the grass, and right hero let me say that it was the hardest crop to cultivate I ever tried. It seemed to me the grass would take it, whether or no. The way it was hoed (twice) was to put a hoe hand on each sale of the row, and scrape it. After much trouble, the rice got big enough to bear a little dirt to it. It did linoly till tho lotiir hot. iv weather in August, when it was Irving to head. The general result was a complete failure of the crop, making probably four or live bushels to Ibo a?.re, of a light, trashy, unmar ketable grain. All this you will under stand was without irrigation and with but little rain. The effect on ine was that 1 will try no more dry culture for rice. It is a water plant and common sense ought to teach us that it cannot bo made a success in the excessively high temper atures and long droughts to which it is apt to be subjected. Had I not tried a different system, rice and 1 would have parted company forever. Fortunately for tue 1 had a good many acres well ditched, and which had been cleaned out so often that every one of them had a good bank on each side, witli a creek on higher ground entering the bottom. These lands were prepared and planted for dry culture. The grass came up ilrst, and then came the trouble. I could not plow it, for the ground being stiff clay and dry broke up in clods, which uprooted the lice, and so aflei plowing about one-half the Held, the plowing was given over as a bad job. I then undertook to hoe it, two men to a row, doing about half an acre a day. I stood this for two days with six hands at ?O cts. each per day, when the pro ject was abnudoned. The grass had it for good. As a last resort I threw up embankments across the bottoms from ditch to ditch with a two-horse plow about 12 to IS inches high, lu short, the land was terraced just as is done on upland, each terrace being 3 inches above the next one below it. A box was put in the middle of each terrace with a gale to regulate the depth of water. The water was turned in from the creek above, into the first terrace, ami when it was tilled six inches deep it was let into the Hcction below, through a box ami by meaus of the gate, and so on, through all the sections. It will thus be seen that the rice and grass weie covered with water from II to six inches deep, and in some places 12 inches. 1 was at a loss to know if I would ever see the rice again. To my great joy in a few days the lice could be seen all along the low, and it con tinued to grow beautifully, the grass, of course, being left behind. Nothing in the way of further cultivation was done, except to look after the water, which was kept (lowing through the field, until near harvest. The rice grew ? to 0 feet high, tillered greatly, and looked as if sosvn broadcast. The yield was 60 to 7."> bushels per acre with two or three tons of straw per acre, which is equal to that much com mon hay. This proved so satisfactory that I shall try the same hind again, sowing it broadcast, however this ti ne. As to profits, I am still unable to say. I shipped a car of Cub bushels to Char leston, with instructions to mill and sell in January, but have, no return:, as yet. If broadcast sowing succeeds the cost of cultivation need be no more than a crop of wheat, or oats, except the harvesting and looking after the water. Speaking of wheat, reminds me that one of my tenants sowed f) acres of wheat and made 2? bushels, lie planted 'A- i of an acre in rice, ami irrigated as I did, and made 0(1 bushels on about two-thirds of ihe .'{-4 of nn acre. My advice then is, if you can water a crop, try it; but if you cannot, you had better let it severely alone. The seed used by me was White Rice, said to be the best adapted to dry culture, and had a great deal of red rice in it. The millers say I ought to have planted the Golden seed or Louisiana rice. I have no seed for sale because of the impurity above. It can be had in Charleston for about $1,30 per bushel. I am so taken with water culture that I would plant largely were it not that the hay crop, which has been do ing so well,interferes. Should hay fail me, than 1 am going for rice. I think any bottom cntiroly too low for corn can be made to yield ?0 to 75 bushels or more per acre. It is a water plant ?grows in the water, why waste time and substance, in trying to grow rice on uplands? I nearly exhausted myBclf in ditching bottoms to drain them. My trouble now is, how to get them irrig ated, both for rice and grass. The lat ter is in process of solution. As to drainage from freshets, I do not think that one need to hesitate about it. There is less danger than in p.ny other crop. If mino was cov ered up 0 inches deep when young and grew the whole season in water to 0 feet high, when the head was loo high for ordinary overliows to reach it, I cannot see how nn ovcrllow wo?*' ! hc riously hurt it, as nature provides against its being washed down by giv ing it a slrong stalk, and by adaptabili ty in general to its environments. Al together, it is a promising crop for this section, ami I hope your mill man in Spartanburg will go on and put in Iiis mill, if any one wants to try it, and does not catch on to what I havo said above, let htm ask Ins questions in your paper, and I will answer through the same medium. T. J. MoOltK. Moore's, S. C, March 2. Whilst laying out tlio hind foi tho different crops, do not neglect to set apart land upon which to raiso forago crops, auch as sorghum, soja beans, aud cowpcas, nor fail to leavo a place for tho sweet potatoos, lato Irish pota toes, melons and cantcloupcs. All these crops contrihuto much to the comfort and well-doing of tho live stock and of tho household, and should not bo neglected after tho stnplo cropa havo boon provided for and plauted. Bstntb* The Kind You Haw Alwa/i Bocgfl BEDDING SWEET POTATOES, j From The Cotton IMnnt The following is a cheap and effect-' ivc plan : Place plauk edgewise on the ground and secure with stnkes driven into the ground, thus forming a bottomless box of the size desired for bed. The box may be about 1H iuches deep ?, next place ou the bottom green pine tops to tho depth of at leasts inches and pack dowu well. The tops should contain as ' little wood us may be convenient, wet them well with water. Then place on tho tops about I inches of rich soil, pvoferably sandy. Eor the residue of covering form a mixture as follows : Eor every bushel of potatoes to be bed ded take about "> bushels of tine stable mannt?' and mix therewith 0 pounds of kainitand i pounds acid phosphate, or 1 1-2 pounds muriate of potash may be used in lieu of kainit ; these ele ments correct the excess of nitrogen iu the stable mauurc, and as a result will give the plants a healthy send off. Place of the mixture to the depth of about two inches, leaking in nil about li inches that is over the pine tops. Eel the bed stand until it begins to heat. In order to prevent the escape of heat beneath the boards bank well with soil on the outside nt the bottom, especially at the corners. A bod for Ulla climate should be constructed about March 28th or 20th. About tho 5th 01 Oth of April the bed will be warm, when the potatoes may DO plaCed and covered with said mix ture to the depth of about 2 inches. Many people covet their potatoes too deep, lints causing the shanks of the sprout to be long and slender. They should be coveted to it sullicient depth only to keep the potatoes properly moist. The bed should be well water ed at the start, and if lite rainfall be scant water thoroughly once a rveek thereafter. In placing the potatoes, 1 prefer to set them in rows across ihe bed about .S inches apart, With 2 incites between the ends. The large potatoes should be placed at oue end of the bed, the small at the, other end and the medium sized in the futddlo, The tops of the potatoes will thus be in line which will enable them to be covered to a uni I form depth. ' Tho vines may be left on the bed until they run from 2 to -1 feet, when they may be cut, leaving generally one leaf ou the stub. The vines may then j be cut into lengths of three leaves each and set out in the usual way, burying two loaves and leaving one out. What appears to be a better plau is to construct a loose, bed of proper width in rich loose soil. Then shove the plants down to a proper depth, preferably not sufficiently cloao for them to touch. Then settle well with water. Water occasionally until they commence sprouting. Then dig up und set out in the usual way. Do not pull them up, lest you bieak the roots. a not It Kit way. "When the vinos run out a proper length the buds may bo pirn bed out I and left thus until suckers make their appearance. Whon the suckers get about 11*2 inches long cut the vines off as aforesaid and then cut into pieces of ono leaf only. Tho cuttings may then be set, with or without root ing. taking care to leave the top of the sucker above ground. A second cutting may be procured and treated as aforesaid, after which the sprouts may be drawn and set out in the usual way and the bed torn up. It appears to be an undisputed fact that more potatoes and belter potatoes can be. urown from vines, cut as afore said, than can bo from Sprouts. More than this, it is generally conceded that poiatoes grown from cuttings will keep belter, another advantage is that at least iliree times the quantity of ground can be sot from culling-". Sprouts, however, aro better for early potatoes. 1 will state here that I have usoJ stable manure, partially rotted wheat straw, oak leaves and pine tops in the construction of hot beds. They all answered a fairly good purpose. In an actual I test found tops much superior to oak leaves. Lust year I used pine tops alone. The bed was constructed March 20lh. Apr il Oth the poiatoes were placed, the lied then being pleasantly warm. April .'10th we had a good botl of sprouts large enough to set out, but we let the vines grow for cutting purposes. A sufficiency ot stable manure was mixed with soil to serve for fertilizer pur poses, but wo depended wholly on the pine tops for heat which was ample and entirely satisfactory. No kainit nor acid phosphates were used, but they could doubtless have been advan tageously employed. Tho poiatoes were placed 0 inches apart, but I believe 8 inches would give better results. When setting out sprouts Ihey should be placed no deeper than they grew on the bed. Cuttings should also be planted proportionately shallow. The potatoes will thus form near the surface where they can te cetvc the benefit of the heat and air. From 1200 to l?OO bushels of pota toes arc said to have boon grown on an acre. Hence the potato crop is a very valuable ono. To obtain best re sults a well rolled clover or pea sod, that was properly fertilized, should be employed. If a sod be impracticable, a fertilizer composed of the following ingredients may be used : Nitrogen, 1 per COUt., phosphoric acid, 7 per cent., potash 0 per cent. Apply in the drill about 700 pounds per acre and mix thoroughly with the soil. Instead of the above a mixture of '200 lbs. acid phosphate, 250 pounds of cotton seed meal and 200 lbs. of -muri ate of potash may bo used per acre. I will stale here that (here is no use of bedding potatoes earlier than tho tune slated, frequently to rot in tho ground. It is not a good plau to trans fer plants from a warm bed to the cold ground. Hence the advantage of let ting the vines run for cutting purposes, as the bed and surrounding ground will by Ibis time appioxtnute the same tem perature. By a plan that will hereafter bo given potatoes can easily bo kept in good condition 12 months. Bryan Tyson. Long Leaf, N. O To get tho best results from legumi nous crops (peas, etc,) they should bo grown on ground which is compara tively unfertile. Tests have shown that if planted on this kind of soil they take large nmounts of nitrogen from the air and storo it up in available form for following crops. If plantod on comparatively fertile sod, the ele ments aro taken from tho soil and not from the air, and tho crop is of little compa'-ntivo benefit on tins kind of land. The loss of diamonds, which has proven a serious dtawbnck in the U9e of diamond suws for stone-cutting, is obviated by Mr. James Anderson, a Scotch inventor, by fixing the stones in sooketa in the stael by maans of an electric, welding machine. COW PEA VANE HAY. When I promised to g*ve you som* observations on cow pea hay, 1 hau certain data befoic me, which are not to be had today, so that 1 wi.'i have to go on general recollection. I always know that the hay from cow peas was very valuable, but 1 ua?j no idea how much so until 1 read .M1 article in the Southern Farmer, giving the results of the experiments made by the Tennessee Experimental Stn lion on it. It seems f.'":y tried a<^"" each in cow pea ha_\, corn a"C?<l_ The peas made :l,8u0 ;v>umb, ot: hjj corn 1,000 pound * of gil tho oats 1 ,200 pounds straw. It will be seen that tho ni .e, , age of cow peas made more pouuds by 1,000 that the corn and oats combined: ^ Tho .Station instituted experiments to test the relative feeling valllPS, and lure is where 1 was, to say tlie least, astounded. They found that the acre of pea \ine hay was equal in value to 300 bushels oats including lite straw, and 17? bushels corn including the fod der. This was demonstrated clearly to my mind, but I cannot undertake to explain it in this short article. I will onls say that any tanner knows that the. value of a fertilizer depends on the quantities and proportions of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash it contains ; so iiio (vetting value of a elufl depend on tliu amount and proportions of two substances only, viz., Protein and non Protein, the former corresponding to the nitrogen in the fertilizer and is the costly Ingredient ; tiie latter being very abundant and cheap, ami can lie supplied in wheat ami oat straw ton very large extent, in oat straw the proportion is about 1 of protein to 30 non-protein. Now there is such a thing as a nutritive ratio and to feed an animal economically cerlalu propor tions must be observed. Fur instance, an ox at rest will need a ration of 1 of protein to 12 of non-protein upon which he will maintain his condition, neither growing poorer nor fatter, but whou he is put to work the ration must be changed to this proportion: 1 too 1-2. To make myself more intelligible, corn grain, cotton seed meal and such stuffs furnish protein, and hay and straw furnish non-protein. Now every one knows, if he gives Iiis cow all cotton seed meal, she will die?it is too rich in protein ; or if he feeds all straw or hay, she will dwindle, be cause they contain too little protein and too much non-protein. So to get the value of a food, the stuff fed must be in such amounts as will promote full digestibility. Now then, a cow in milk wants a ration having a nutritive ration of 1 to ? orl? 1-2, not innkingly, of 1 to 12 as stated in the case of the ox. Cow pea hay is excedingly rich in ptOtein and very deficient in non protein, the uulrltvc ratio being I to ;{ 1-2. Thus you see that in feeding cow pea hay you feed entirely too much of n costly ingredient, it is like feeding equal parts cotton seed meal and hulls which anybedy knows is not right. Therefore to get the true feed ing value of cow pea vine hay it should be fed as one fcedi a horse, that is in connection with hay or wheat or oat straw, the straw being the very thing wanted, for it is richest in non protein stuff. 1 will not undertake to make the calculation. You will only remember that the milk cow wants a nutritive ratio of 1 to r> or ? 1-2 whilst pea vine hay is 1 to 3 1-2, and oats straw 1 to HO?anil remember further that one acre of pea vino hay is equal to ;{()0 bushels of oats and 175 bushels of corn with fodder and straw includ ed according to the Tennessee F.xperi mental Station. How to cure the hay is the great question. I have never been able to do it at all satisfactorily till last year. In fact, 1 always thought it could not he done satisfactorily by me. To state my plan last year ; 1 got stakes 12 feet long, sunk them in the ground 2 feet, nailed a strip 1 feet long two feet above ground, and when this was filled ? .vo feet high, another strip was nailed Ot), and so on to the top. This made a stack about ? feel in diameter and 10 or 12 feet high. The mower was started and the stacklog commenced at once. Itemed up elegantly, and was dually put in the barn. I consider the roots of the pea vine as valuable, in ihe way of a fertilizer, ! after cutting the hay as before. So you see you can kill two birds with one ono stone, viz; lo fertilize the land and to raise the best crop of hay to be had. Yours truly, T. .1. Mooui:. An epidemic of acute catarrh of the stomach and intestines, affecting fifty six soldiers, lias been traced by Herr F. IMuhl to new potatoes. These po tatoes, which were gathered m June, contained about six times the. normal proportion of solanine, and small spo'.s on the siuface of the peeled lu? bejS showed a third more than the rest. It was found that the men who ate their entire portion had taken about live grains of solanine, sulllcictit to produce severe disturbances. Alfalfa, said to be the best hay for sheep, is a ii eft successful crop m the South. pr.Pjgrce's Prescription MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG SICK WOMEN WILL. t i ai? fruits. ,fso goo'd fru >htaining at least lsH will give to be in evt>tj They arc; Vi Nutau i^^P The Duty Of Tin. i\v." In our opinion no (Igl'lcuhr? is worthy o? Iho namo that con.1 self to a discussion of the breeds o.7 tie, the elements of soil fertility, UTrJ varieties of crops, etc., etc., never ven turiog into thai arena where the higher! anil broader interests of Agricultural and humanity are at slake. The men-', tal, moral ami social welfare of the I farmer are not of less importance than the ability to make two blades ci grass grow where one gtca before* Again prices and laws nltcctiog prices are of equal moment, For what shall it prolll a man to raise big crops if nu mber pockets the gain and the fruit of his labor ? So that it is I lie duty of the farm paper to look after all these in terests. The following clipping from Farm and Hauch, therefore, is as ap propriate as it is true: "The most ominous sign of the limes in this coun try is the gradual decrease of the num ber of home owners. The homes of the people are beiug slowly hut surely absorbed by the money lenders?the mortgage loan association. When this j process reaches a certain stage of de velopment, the republic will not be worth saving ; for homelessness breeds vagabondism, vagabondism breeds anarchy, and anarchy demands tyranny to suppress it. ' This may be putting it too stiong, but it is in re freshing contrast to the political cow ardice of many farm papers. CA.STOTIIA.. Boars the /01,19 ^ini' Vou Have Always Bought SOUTHERN RAILWAY.
