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.

A new treatment of arc light carbons,
patented by J. T. Uobiuson, is claimed
I to increase the durability, improve the

ed two to four days in a solution of

The well known powerful action ol '

Moissan to depend upon the presence
of hydrotluorlc acid ami moisture as
impurities. Perfectly clean, dry glass
is uuattacked after weeks of contact

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

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

enrthquako loud crashes may bo dis

at a great distance may bo subdued

heard. Eaithqunkes aro supposed by
Dr. Davison to bo caused by tho slip

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
