?Funeral flower* u*? no longer all

Boxes of loose fl >wers ore m?<>b\ ofr?u
sent by friend*, although muad wreaths
are still used, but have become so full 1
that they are more like a round mat of
flowers. At a receut funeral each member
of a large family laid a *r?ath of
iolets on the mother's coflln.
?Algeria ia shipping largs qupnMtiea
of high gratis phosphite to Eugland.
A fair grade of phosphites has
been discovered in the Simme district
of France and it is expected that much
rock will soon be mined in tint region.
Florida shipped 515,873 tous last year.
The Tennessee phosphites are high
grade, easily mined and need 110 dry ing.
They are making their way into Georgia.
The markets for South Carolina
rock are somewhat circumscribed.
?A German cure for colds is culled !
egg soup, and is worthy of a trial. '
Beat up the yolk of an egg in a pint j
of water; put, in a little but'er, with
two or three lumps of sugarand a table- ;
spoonful of gnod whiskey or rum ; set
the dish on the Gove aud stir all the

to boil pour it backward and forward
between a saucepan and a pitch *r until
it is smooth and has gained a froth.
?The enemies of Ben Tillman are
bound to admit that he worked a great
reform in the matter of phospha'e royalties.
Before he ce llared that great
corporation, the Coosaw Compauy, the (
State was receiving more than $200 00
a year, if we are not mistaken. The (
royalty collected for the fi-oal y?ar
ending August 81, 1805, was only $87,- j
657.20. The prosp- ct is that it will
be somewhat less when the next report j
is made. Bat we must have reforms if ^
they do come high.

Redhee tneCotton Acreage.
The large cotton crop produced in i
1891 amounted to 0,905,250 bales and the ;
commercial value was only $297,037,580, ]
or about $30. a bale. The crop pro- ]
duced this year will be about seven i
million bales and it will bring more I
money than the previous crop. The \
Memphis cottou exchange unites with i
the American Cotton Growers' Associa- ]
tlon in urging the people to keep their
acreage down. Another crop of seven
million bales will bring the price to ten 1
cents. Raise corn, meat, oats, hay, po- ]
tatoes, wheat and everything that can j
be raised for man or beast and then <
plant the surplus in cotton. That is \
the way out of the wilderness and it is 1
the way to keep from returning to that f
dismal place. i

A Complete Fertilizer.
There are three elements that eater
into a complete fertilizer; nitrogen,
phosphoric aoid and potash. They are
all tmential to the growth and maturity
of crops. A commercial fertilizer,
which coitains 8 per cent, of phosphor
c euid, 2J of ammooia and 1 of potash
possesses tue elements in the right proportiou
for very thin soils, which will
produc > 11:11 * without aid. One ton of
Bins"? fertilizer will cjntala about 100
l o tods <?r pii Mpiiori j add, 50 pounds
of ammoui* equal to about 40 pounds
of nitrogen, tin 1 20 pounds of potHBh.
The depai tiuent of Agriculture at
Wa-dilugtou iu Fariner'd Bulletin No.
14, shown clearly the efTect of fertilizers,
on cotton. Oa a poor soil, that is u&rdly
worth cultivating. the amounts necessary
to produce 800 pouuds of Hr.t
ootton are 20 pounds of nitrogen or 24
pouuds of ammonia ; 50 pouuds of phos
phoric acid and 15 pounds Gf p0ta?h.
Cotton seed with the addition of
phosphoric acid make au excellent fertilizer.
They contain 2.50 per cent. * t
nitrogon, 1 3 of phosphoric acid and 1.80
of potash. Oottou seed meal shows 7
p<roont. of nitrogen, 2.73 phosphoric
acid and 1.75 of potash. Oue ton of
acid phosphate adde 1 to a ton of meal
wi'l give two tons with the fo'lowing
proportions of plant food: Nitrogen
3J pereen*., phosphoric acid 8 87, pot
ash .87. With ncld phosphate at $15 00
a ton and cotton seed ine .1 at $20.00,
that would make the price of one ton
$17.50- Three sacks of that ought to
add 800 pounds of lint cotton to the
acre on theord'niry lands of the Piedmont.
The rost of the three seeks
would be $4 21. One sack of this fertilizer
could not be expected^o increase
the yield more than 100 dmPs
Stable manure coutaljgjjjfffgb per cent,
of nitrogen. 0.25 pho?plj$5^Tc acid, 0 40 of

stable manure with one sick of acid
phosphate would make an excTeut
Fertilizer for one acre and ought to increase
the yield 200 to 250 poun Is of
lint cotton. Farmers will never gsta

The cliorch and religious news is prepared
in admirable style. There is
nothing narrow or sectar;an in any of
Its columns. The stories and biographical
sketches are prepared by eminent
writers. In a few words, the pnper

blie tlrst illustrated book number was
published, which was printed in a
mperior manner. Other numbers succeeded,
all of which were highly appreciated
by the readers. "With each
