Tfce Seaboard's Great Scheme.
Th,e Ser.board Air Line's plaD to es
tablish experiment farms every teo
miles along its line created a great deal
of talk yesterday. The compaoy owns
land aloog its entire Hoe except io the
cities and towns, and at- some station?
it has trac/s which would make fine
farms. This land was bought when
the right of way was secured.
For some time past the division
superintendents have been going over
the system seleotlog the tracts for the
farms. Captain Berkeley, superintend
ent of the Atlanta and Monroe division,
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern,
went over the entire division with Mr.
Patrick oo a small handcar ran by
steam. The; made a careful examina
tion of ihe ground and picked oat the
places which seemed best adapted to
the experimento.
With a farm every ten miles, hun
dreds of planters in Virginia, the Caro
. Hnas and Georgia will have an object
lesson in farming right before their eyes
No farmer along the road will be more
' than five miles from one of these ex
periment farms. It is believed that
the i??upnce on neighboring farmers
will be vest. As it is demonstrated
that this or that crop can be success- ;
fully cultivated, neighboring /planters
will get the benefit.
Travelers will not fa i 1 to derive
^?trong impressions from what tbey eee
and the farms will be great advertise
ments, of the country through which
the railroad passes. Homeseekers will
be enabled to see what the soil can
produce and the experiment farms will
no doubt prove a valuable adjunct to the
immigration' department of the Sea
board system. ~
Captain Berkeley is up on the lice
this week, partly on business in con*,
section with the establishment of these
farms, it is understood that the com
pany will begin planting in the spring
and will pat in diversified crops all
along the road frome Atlanta to Nor
folk.?Atlanta Constitution.
Fertilizer Trade of Charles
ton.
Tha Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter
says: "Irr 1894-95 the fertilizer
trade of tfiis city amounted to 160,000
tons, as against 316,611 tons the pre
vious year, it was reasonable to ex
pect that there Would be a large increase
of this trade during the past year; and
for the parposcof directing the business
in a satisfactory way,an agreement was
made among the fertilizer companies
early in the season to control the out
put and avoid, if possible, the disas
trous effects which would have followed
overproduction. From some cause, of
which we are not folly apprised, the
agreement did not result so satisfactori
ly as it was hoped, and the aggregate
business was not as conditions early id
the season seemed to promise. The
fertilizer companies in the interior-,
almost without exception, did welt, sold
their product, and made money, and
are ready f?r the business of the new
season with their forces well in band. It
is repare ed as a mistake in some quarters
that tro many of the -local companies
have carried over stock which they
should have sold during the seaeon.
It must not be inferred from this gener
al statement, that none of the local
companies did a good business during
the year, for some of them did remark*
ably well, paid satisfactory dividends
to their stockholders, and are in excel
lent shape forche business of the year.
"The prices during the season were
so low that many northern parties
bonghi large quantities of acid phos
phate iostead of crude rock, and as a
consequecce a considerable-business was
done.
*'Tbe following-figures will show the
last four years' sales of fertilizers :
?833. 1894. 1895. 1896.
Port Royal 31,000 28,000 19,000 35,000
Savannah 120.090 110,000 77.C0.0 90.C00
Charleston 325,000 316,611 159,526 217,715
Tons . .476,000 460,611 255,526 382,715
"The fertilizer industry is not by
-any means dead, nor is it likely to die.
The sonr.h will make a large-crop of
cotton this year, estimated by some at
9,000.000 bales, and renewed activity
in the business of manufactoring ferti
lizer will sorely return. There is an
increased demand for commercial ferti
lizers, and particularly for fertilizers of
the grade manafactured by the milis in
Charleston. The progressive state of
North Carolina expended $2 500,000
for fertilizers during the past year, a
gain of more than 50 per cent, on the
consumption for the year 1894-95, and
fully 40 per cent, on the consumption
of 1893-94."

Facts ana Philosophy From St.
Charles.
. St. Chaeles^Dsc. 18, 1896.? The cioslog
dajiS of this eventful year remind us that
some, of our most inspiring lnpe-3 and expec
tations fe often uipped in the bud. If we
be guided by the restraints and iimitaiions
placed upon us by the Divine word, they
will bri t?\u3 the renewal of hope, aud we
go forw&i leaving to infinite wisdom the
consequences. Wten we see the beautiful
trees and flowers of raany years cultivation
all gone, we need not yield to gloom or des
pondency. The r?rancn*s remaining ru>?y
become, under skillful culture, bowers of
sweetness and rich fragrance.
Failing to get Salem we bare our hornea
and friends to comtort and console us. We
failed in a grander .and more momentous
movement (Secession) some years back, and
after having marched up the bill we feel con
fident that we marched down with honor.
