Cbeves passed across the street with
in a few foot from where Capt.
Pickett was standing. A few words
were passed, and then Cheves fired
both barrels of a double-barreled
shotgun at Pickett, one load striking
him in the left arm, the other in his
heart. Cheves was locked in jail,
which was guarded. There was a
great deal of excitement in reference
to tho sad occurrence. Further re

more influential in his position, than

Buttermilk Record.
There is a gentleman in Monroe
county. Mr. Mb B. Davis, who has
been keeping house fifty-seven years,
and not one day during that long
time has he beon without buttermilk
on his table, from his own cows.
This is a good buttermilk record.
The Rigo: Fertilizer for Grain.
mr. D. J. Proctor wrote *o the
Georgia Chemical Works, of Augus
ta asking bow the Grain Fertilizer
manufacture i by them compares
with cotton -ced. as a fertilizer for
grain. I lib folia wing reply was
made by Mr. <'. B. F. Lowe the
: chemist of the works:
Ist. As to amount necessary on
gray and red Middle Ge >rgiu lands,
broadcast '
i he land should be rich indeed to
warrant the use of less than 200
pounds per acre, and it must a 1 wavs
be borne in min i. that an increased
amount of fertilizer < unless carried
to excels will always produce an
increased crop.
2d. A comparison of a complete
manure with cotton seed is a rather
difficult oik- to make. The chief, if
not the only, valuable ingredient of
cotton seed is its ammonia. 200
pounds cotton seed, (64 bushels; is
equivalent in ammonia to 200 pounds
Grain Fertilizer, while to furnish an
equal amount of phosphoric acid will
require nearly fifty bushels.
Care should be taken in fertilizing
grain to apply the manure where it
can be easily reached by the crop.
None ot the cereals have the power
to penetrate the soil to any distance
to assimilate food.
It will be seen from the above
that 200 pounds of the Grain Fertil
izer will furnish as much phosphoric
acid as fifty bushels of cotton seed,
although it will not furnish as much
ammonia. It does furnish,however,
as much ammonia as the acre need .
In other words, you can get a com
plete fertilizer for an acre of grain
iu 200 pounds of this fertilizer, at a
cost of id.4o. If you use cotton seed,
it will take 50 bushels to afford the
necessary amount of phosphoric acid,
and about seven-eights of the am
monia they contain will be unneces
sary, and will be wasted. The cotton
seed will cost, at Diets, a bushel, SB
—making a difference of 64.60 per
acre in favor of the Grain Fertilizer.
Grain needs phosphoric acid rather
than ammonia. The best authorities
agree that it should not be sown
deep, but just as shallow as possible,
so that it is well covered.
Mr. Proctor is agent for this Grain
Fertilizer. Orders may be left with
him or with Ponder and Fletcher,
lie believes in it so strongly that he
is going to use it on the GO to 75
acres of grain which he is going to
sow. lie is also agent for an acid
phosphate for composting.
