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 their lives.—Albany Herald. Vanishes.

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. JOHN M. McCANDLESS, State Chemist to Middle Georgia.

" ‘How doos your poor land yield in comparison with the Iowa land?* "I can make twice as much on it os I could make on an sore of Iowa land." "Wh&t sort of crops do you make onthe Georgia soil?’ "1 have made 40 bushels of wheat and 100 bushels of corn on the same acre in the same year. Tou will see 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.’ ” GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE. Colonel J. B. Killebrew, in th South ern Farm Magazine, says: "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.
