STARTED TO KILLING EARLY.
Eleven-Year-Old Negro Endeavors to
Cloan Out a Family.
An unuBual crime occurred Monday
afternoon on the Dent place, six miles
south of Albany, when the 11-yearold
son of Burrell Jordan shot and mur-
tally wounded his 13-year-old brother.
Burrell’a four children were play
ing peaceably together. It seemed
that a fiendish desire to kill seized
the 11-yearold boy. Taking bis fath
er's double-barreled shotgun from the
corner of the room where It stood,
the boy said; “I am going to clean
out this family," whereupon he raised
the gun and took deliberate aim at
his 13-year-old brother. He fired and
the shot took effect In the left shoul
der and breast of the unfortunate
child, tearing Its way through the left ]
lung. j
When the shot was fired at their
brother the other children fled to
places of safety. The fiendish boy
with the gun followed them and en
deavored to find them, but they suc
ceeded in eluding him and In sa’ing

Formula for Making Compost—Paper
Read Before Meeting of Agricultu
ral Commissioners in Regard to the
"Smithfield Virginia Ham"—Wheat
Growing Profitable.
Question—"Hon. O. B. Stevens, At
lanta. Ga.—Dear Sir: Can you giva
me a good formula for composting
with stable and cow lot manure?"
In reply to the above we beg here
with to submit formulas for making
compost, which have been prepared by
the Slate Chemist, John M. McCand-
less:
In the first place take 100 pounds
of quick lime and slake it with 150
pounds of kainit dissolved in hot wa
ter. Be sure to so proportion the
amount of water nsed as to slake
the lime to a powder, and not have
a wet, sticky mass. If you use too
much water you will have a sticky
mass and not a powder which can be
easily handled.
Your lime should be slaked by a hot
solution of kainit to a powder, which is
Just damp enough to handle comfort
ably. You have now an excellent and
perfect mixture of the lime with the
sulphate of potash and chloride of so
dium of the kainit The work should
be done at a point convenient and
close to where the compost pile is to
be made.
The materials you will need to make
a ton of compost according to my for-
mlua then are as follows:
Formula No. 1:
100 pounds quick lime,
150 pounds of kainit
160 pounds 14 per cent, acid phosphate,
100 pounds of cotton seed meal,
1,200 pounds of stable manure.
Formula No. 2:
100 pounds of quick lime,
150 pounds of kainit,
260 pounds 14 per cent, acid phosphate,
400 pounds of green cotton seed,
1,000 pounds of stable manure.
You will observe that both these for.
mulae odd up 1,900 pounds, but as a
matter of fact, they will add up 3,000
nminHi nr mnni iftRr the lime hOfl
iora to nave tne rains leaca euoa ■
valuable oompoat gfter tt ft mode. \
Method of Composing.
First, put dovm a layer of stable
manure well chopped and free from
lamps, about three inches thick,
sprinkle over this a layer of cotton
seed meal, say one-elgth to one-quartet
of an Inch thick, then moisten with
water until manure and meal are well
dampened; then sprlkle on a layer of
the slaked lime and kainit mixture,
using your judgment os to the thick
ness of the layer, so as to make your
materials come out about even. On
top of the potash sprinkle a layer of
the acid phosphate. On top of this
again pu ta layer of stable manure,
say, about two inches thick, then cot
ton seed meal as before. Again moist*
ening the layer of cotton seed meal
and manure until damp, then as before
a layer of potash lime followed by acid
phosphate. Cotinue in this way until
the materials are all exhausted and
top all over with stable manure or rich
woods earth, say two inches thick. Al
low it to stand until thorough fermen
tation takes place, which ehould be
from one to two months, according to
the temperature, moisture, etc.
The formula for the use of green cot*
ton seed should be put up in precisely
the same way, except, of course, the
layer of ootton seed will be thicker
than the layer of meal. When the
ootton seed have been killed thorough
ly, cut down vertically with a sharp
hoe, mattock or spade through the lay
ers, shaving off a thin slice at the time.
Pulverize and shovel Into a heap and,
and allow the fermentation to go on
again for about ten daye, when the
compost ought to be ready for use. Ap
ply liberally at the rate of four or
five hundred pounds per aero. Such
a compost as this, mado either with
cotton seed or cotton seed meal, ought
to analyze about—
2.25 per cent, available phosphorlcadd.
L10 per cent ammonia,
1.25 per cent potash,
but its results will beat its analysis.

the fact is demonstrated every day
that Georgia land needs manure,
needs to have animals raised on iL
The Iowa land is rich enough, but it
has no such seasons to neip it make
crops. When I came here and looked
around, I found dairy farmers wasting
their manure. They seemed to make
a good living in spite of such extrava
gant waste. I determined that I could
make money with my Ideas, if they
could sustain themselves.’ ”

Colonel J. B. Killebrew, in th South

"Wheat-growing could be mado very
profitable wherever cotton is produced,
and the harvest would interfere very
little with the cultivation and gather
ing of the cotton crop. When the
cotton-growing States become indepen
dent in their meat and bread supplies,
they will become the most jrosperous
States in the American Union."
God speed the day!
