are no caste prejudices, none of the
secret hostility which is so formidable
a barrier to Christian progress in India.
The Chinaman is an open enemy or
ati open friend. When he is gained to
Christianity he makes a staunch and
loyal convert. The rate of progress in
China within the last twenty years has
been amazing.”— Missionary llrrirtr.
A Mr. Mahdissian has been banish¬
ed for life to an oasis in the desert of
Sahara for translating into Turkish a
a portion of Scripture referring to the
coming of the kingdom of. Christ.
Let us call things by their right
names, especially when they relate to
the Kingdom of God. Therefore, well
does Bey. J. B. Donalson suggest:
“We are accu-tomed to talk of giviug
to the Lord’s work. This is a great
mistake. The giving is from the other
party. The silver and gold are the
Lord’s; we only dig it up. The cattle
upon a thousand hills are Ilis; we only
herd them. The wheat docs not genu¬
mate by our power; the sun does not
shine at our word; bidding; the rains do fertile not
fall at our the soil is uot
through our wisdom. make Our opportuni¬
ties and faculties to money are
all gifts from God. lie giveth thee
the power to get wealth. Let us pay
God Ilis dues.”
The China inland mission has urgent
need for one hundred consecrated men.
Existing stations are calling for re-in
forcements, and God is opening new
doors which there are no workers to
enter.”
“There is no near and no far, but
■just one round world of lost and per
ishing souls to be rescued and saved
through the woild s Christ.

Too Much Salary.
The salary of a clerk is at once a
curse - and a blessing, according as he
uses it, says Hardware. If he spends
every cent of it, knowing he is going
to have just so much to spend, it is a
curse, but if he guides his expenditures
so that he shall save so much every
year, then it is a blessing for him, for
tSStiSm^'^SSSm’ui^Sl ".'SSfuJ^

to cut off some of the extras should the

Self-Help the Best.
Just now when the tale of capital
seems to be turning Southward, there
dnD S er of lhe Soulhetu t u o l> le over¬
looking the fact that self-help is the
best ’ sp,f - hel P mU8t not he relegated
sS5.r ortb l ;‘7.. cffort , S5.iicr£r4 and looks
j au y solely
t0 j le ]p f ro m another, it. will never
W alk. If a man is down and refuses
j 0 uge an y exerl jo Ui he becomes quite
a ( ] e ad weight to those, who attempt to
, ifl him up ;
While the South invites, welcomes,
and wou j d be g i a( t l0 have men with
their means to come hither and help
: develop Messed, the great resources with which
8he is her people must not ig
nore ( heir own powers and forget or
p a ji to help themselves. They surest must
n °t forget that help is .he and
most certain of beneficial results.
In discussing this subject, the Rn
terprise. of Stanton, Va., says:
“ We of the South bank too much on
outside capital. If those who have
sur l ,lus money would employ it iu use
ful industries there would be much
greater progress than wc have and
neater means would come to our as
s j stance _ Confidence begets confi
dence and when outsiders see thatj we
arc not afraid to risk our little, they
will not hesitate to risk sums.”
There is much truth in what the En
terprise says. While we would not
throw a straw in the way of industri
ous, thrifty, energetic immigrants to
Georgia,"nor a feather against the in
coming of their capital, capital yet Georgian's
have sufficient in brain and
muscle to develop her resources to
grand and astonishing results, if they
will but cultivate a proper spirit of
“if E&ians win couple what money
capital they have with theii greater
capital of brain and energy in develop
-ff ing their industrial interests, this of it
will prove the strongest advertis
can secure, and the result
wld * ,e l * ,l! incoming into our borders
°* thousands of thrifty, prosperous
people and millions of capital from oth
er s,, nrces.
But if we over-look self-help and sit
down upon the stool of do-nothing and,
looking with longing eyes to the capi¬
tal of those in oilier sections of the
country, make bold assertions of what
a grand country we have here in Geor¬
gia for investment of capital, brains
and energy, and produce no evidence
growing out of our own exertions to
sustain our naked assertions, men and
means will, be slow in coming among
us, and our progress and prosperity
w ‘ d n ° l be inviting,
To induce capital and men of energy
and enterprise from abroad we must
sllow a disposition to put forth our
own energy and and what capital depending we may
have, that we are not
solely upon outside help.
People are not disposed to help a
man that will not help himself. Nor
will brains and capital seek invest¬
ment among a people who seem not to
be appreciative of self-dependence and
self-help. Then if the people of mid¬
dle Georgia would entice capital and
such elasb of immigrants as are desira¬
ble, they must appreciate their owu
abilities, and, by the diligent exercise
thereof, make such progress in the de¬
velopment of industrial enterprise as
will make its impress upon the world.

LOSSES OF THE LAND.
Sometimes They Are Greater Than the
Profits from the Crop.
The money crop on the farm is that
which is sold, as such, off ttie farm
and the replacement of the fertilizing
ingredients in which to constilute ai
most wholly the problem of recupera
live mnuunng. Every farmer under
stauds that it is necessary to put
“something back on the land,” but
! how to do this in an economical man
ner is the constant study of hundreds
1 of the best technologists in lhe world,
| The vast of chemical tins fertilizer industry
grew out problem, It is an cl¬
fort to supply the necessary elements
of fertility in, for example, a bushel of
wheat at a less cost than may be ob
tained for same when sold, in the form
of grain. Suppose, for the sake of 11
lustration, that the cost of producing
one bushel of wheat is 50 cents—labor,
rent of land, manure, etc. Suppose its
value as a feed stuff is 40 cents and its
fertilizing elements after such use are
worth 10 cents. 11 is then evident that
if fed to stock on the farm and the ma
nure carefully saved, .here will be
neither loss or gain in the operation,
But suppose the elements of fertility
in the form of chemicals may be pur
chased for live cents. Then it is evi
dent that the bushel of wheat may be
sold off the farm, 40 cents paid for its
production, exclusive of manure, five
cents for replacing the necessary
amount of fertilizer, leaving live cents
profit on the transaction. The whole
problem is a simple matter of buying
in the dearest, cheapest market and selling in
the but the intermediate stages
are so complicated follow that few men can
clearly out the steps.
In many instances the natural stores
of fertility in the soil haye been such
as to permit cropping a long time with¬
out compensation to the land, but in
the long run such farming methods ar
arivc at the same conditions of less fa¬
vored localities. Plants cannot he fed
on air. and Selling similar milk, wheat, corn and
hay crops off the farm
without duo and even return in manu
rial matters, must soon put an end to
profitable materials farming. The fertilizing
in this case are exhausted in
about the same proportions needed for
growth, that is, the land loses nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric arid in about
the same relative proportions the grow¬
ing plants require them. The potash
and phosphoric acid maintain practi¬
cally uniform proportions, and the ma¬
nure made from the crops grown may
he used with success; or a chemical
fertilizer resembling same in composi¬
tion. With cotton or tobacco, howev¬
er, the circumstances are different.
The parts of these crops sold off the
farm carry potash—beyond away a disproportionate
quantity of the reach
of the usual return as manure. Neith¬
er may be “fed on the place” and the
fertilizer ingredients thus retained in
proper balance on the farm. Such, is
perhaps one of the chief causes why
the soils of the Southern States are to¬
day uniformly deficient in available
potash. illustrate,
To suppose the stems,
seeds, hulls, etc., of the cotton [riant
aie carefully retained in the land. One
might think that the hare lint carried
little off the land necessary for us fer¬
tility. Such is far from the facts. The
analysis of the whole cotton plant,
lint, seed, stems, etc., would seem to
indicate that phosphoric acid and pot¬
ash are required in about equal propor¬
tions recruiting the potash fertilizer, slightly therefore, in excess. A
would
be made to contain live per cent, phos¬
phoric acid and six per cent, potash.
Let us see what 20 years of such prac¬
tice has done for the South.
In the 20 years from 1874 to 1804,
the production of lint cotton amounted
to 50,120,022,402 pounds. It is obvious
that little or none of this material found
its way back to the land as manure. In
this lint sold off the farms was contain¬
ed 70,081,802 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 502,002,041 pounds of for potash.
That is 27 pounds of potash acid. each it
one pound of phosphoric Is
any wonder that the soils of the South
are deficient in potash? The excess of
potash over phosphoric acid, South thus re¬
moved from the soils of the is
the equivalent ef 443,472 tons of high
grade sulphate, or 1,773,888 tons of
kainit, an amount of potash aquivalent
to that contained in 1,319,850,878 bush¬
els of wheat? Facts are stubborn
things.!
