ASSORTING METAL MONEY.
__
Odd Specimen* That Are in the National
Treasury.
“Immense quantities of subsidiary and
minor coins are continually flowing into
us,” saida treasury official recently, ‘‘to
be exchanged for note The coins, which
we receive from nil over the country, are
assorted into ‘tit’ nnd u fit.’ The latter
we do not send out again for circulation.
At the same time the standard of fitness
is somewhat variable. If tjio appropriation
for the mints has run short and we have
no big quantity of new coins to draw on 1
wo are obliged to pass pieces which would
otherwise bo withdrawn and transferred
to the melting put. At all times wo pick
out for rejection all coins that are muti¬
lated in any manner. This applies even
to pieces which have paper stuck on them.
Within the last three or four years the
practice of pasting advertisements on one
sideof silver dollars has been popular with
merchants, particularly in 11 jo west. The
paste employed is of so excellent a quality
that to remove the ‘stickers,’ as tliey arc
called, is next to impossible. Soaking in
warm water has no effect on them. Of
course we havo not time to devote to such
a task, and so wo just throw them out.
“The ingenuity exorcised by people in
tho defacement of the coins of the realm
is really remarkable. Shopkeepers will
stamp their firm names upon silver dollars
with steel dies. Tho advertisement is ex¬
cellently conceived, but tho value of the
coin is destroyed except as bullion. Many
persons make a practice of cutting coins
with a knife, to make sure that they are
good. The test may prove them all right,
but rc renders the coin unredeemable.
Other persons scratch the pieces with
sharp instruments—for what purpose I
am unable to say. The result, however,
is the same. We return all mutilated and
counterfeit coins to tho depositor. In
every ease the depositor is requested to
send then* back to the treasury. It he
fails to do so, no more are returned to him
out of subsequent consignments. Coun¬
terfeit coins we mark in such a way that
it is hardly possible to use them again.
They are cut half through from one edge.
As for mutilated pieces, tho owners can
dispose of them only by soiling them for
such metal. The mints will buy mutilated
coins in quantities like any other bullion.”

White Lim-n Cushions.
White linen sofa cushions give a
wonderful touch of daintiness to the
subsuinmer cottage parlor. They are,
above all, suitable—the right thing in
the right place, as they admit of laun¬
dering. Some of them are traced in all
over designs, others have small flowers
worked solidly in wash silks, like vio¬
lets, forgetmenots and the like, and al¬
most all have deep hemstitched borders.
IT WORKED TOO WELL.
An Amateur Klectrieian’s Hell That Would
King Until He Was Awake.
Ho has rooms in a big apartment build-
ing, and lie has devised an elaborate
scheme to avoid sleeping too long in the
morning. Ho hasn’t much faith in alarm
clocks because he forgets to wind them
up, and he has discovered that pounding
on the floor has very little effect. He en-
gaged the janitor to pound on the door at
a certain hour every morning, but it failed
to have the effect after the first two or
three mornings. Then ho decided to try
electricity.
He was an amateur electrician himself,
so it was easy for him to pud a bell over
door. the head But, of his bed and run a wire to the j
no .tiii’ ordinary button would do
him. i,s.„ lie was afraid he would ii turn ^ over
and go to sleep again as soon as the bell
stopped ringing. Consequently he put a
switch on the outside of the door and ar-
ranged turSthoswiu with the janitor Tk to come Zr uu Yklv and

and turned off the current. Ho was nat- i
uraily proud of his device. Ho felt that !
he had solved a great problem. And he
had. There was no sleeping in that room
after the janitor had turned the switch
for it was necessary to get up and cross
the room in order to stop the noise.
But r>„, he OMr.t.okcd l- l one . tiling. . - • Ho tt made ,
no arrangement for notifying tho janitor
when ho was not at homo, and the first
night that he failed to come home there
was trouble. The janitor went to tho door
at tho usual hoar in the inoraiag, turucj
the switch and then went back to ins
quarters in the basement, leaving tho bell
in active operation.
Oocupauts of adjoining apartments were
unanimous iu the assertion afterward that
the bell did not shirk its work that morn-
ing. They did not think much of the bell
anyway, but on ordinary occasions it was
shut off after a few minutes of active serv-
ice, so they had refrained from making
any complaint. 11ns time, however, it
continued its business at the old stand for
abs eit half an hour, and they rebelled.
One by one they came to their doors to
see what the trouble might be and later
enjoyed themselves by pounding on the

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS DISCUSSED
Cotton Not tl»e Only Crop That Will Suffer
as a Result of the Long Drouth—The
sm .n Grain., Cra„e., K.c,
Unavoidably Delayed—Th© Advantages
of Fall Flowing.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga.. Oct. 1. 1390.
FALL CROPS.
The consequences of the long drouth
are not confined to the cotton crop. Tho 1
land has been m . such parched condition,
that no preparation for the usual fall
crops could be made. The small grains,
grasses, clovers, which should have been
prepared , . August and , , _
.or m eauy bep-
tember, and sown in the latter month,
have been unavoidably delayed, and
unless the seasons are unusually favor¬
able from the present date the farmer
Will be disappointed in his seeding of
these , fall . „ crops. ___ We should , , _ not, _ how-
ever, be discouraged, but take advant-
age of every available opportunity, and
put in as large areas of these necessary
crops, as circumstances will admit,
Don’t make the mistake, because time
is pressing, of too hurried preparation
and seeding. An acre well prepared
and fertilized, will be worth several
times as much as a far larger area sown
m the old time, careless method.
fall plowing.
The cotton fields being cleared so much
earlier than usual, will give farmers
the opportunity, so rare in cotton lands,
of testing the value of fall plowing,
Last fall we turned over with a 2-horso
plow several acres of stiff land on which
there was a heavy growth of vegetable
matter, leaving the furrows flash, that
they might ge$ the full effects of the air.
the frosts and the rains. Could those
who doubt the advantages of fall plow-
ing, have followed each successive steo
in the management of the crops grown
on these acres, they would no longer
urge objections to the plan. From the
outset, when the spring preparations
began, this land, was easier to manure.
During the time of preparation when
other fields became too hard to plow,
these were still mauagable, and all dur¬
ing the cultivation of the crop, it has
been much easier to keep the mulch of
finely pulverized soil on these, than on
less favored spots. Today, although
these crops have suffered in common
with every other green thing, from the
effects of the protracted dry spell, the
yield is superior and the plants in better
condition than elsewhere. On all heavy
lands and lands underlaid with a stiff
clay subsoil, fail plowing is above value,
The greatest need in our section for the
succt-sslul pioduction of crops, is a suf-
fieient supply of moisture during the
long hot months, when the usual sum-
mei uroutlx prevails. And there is no
moie certain metnod of supplying th s
moisture on oenumd; than by storing it
up in the subsou. 1 : tali plowing is
properly doue, ttie subsoil being loosened
so as to receive and absorb the winter
rains-, we term a reservoir underneath
the immediate surtacc. When the hot,

it comes m leacn of the thirsty roots, it

And this is but a repetition of the agri-
cultural history of our older southern
states. Georgia farmers are just begin-
ning a thorough investigation of this im-
portant question, and each year we see
new converts added to the list, of those
who make fall plowing a study and a
success. As before mentioned, w« hare

FEEDING FOR MANURE AND FOR BEEF.
1
In the Inquiries for this month is one
of great importance and interest, as to
the merits and costs of different foods
in producing manure, fat and flesh,
The study of these questions indicates
an advance in our system of agric 1-
ture, and those who inquire into and
investigate this subject will discover
that our methods have been ill advised
and wasteful, and that for a given
amount _of food judiciously used, we
can produce a much core profitable re-
turn in both meat and manure than has
heretofore been customary,
THE COTTON TIE TRUST
is also inquired into by a farmer who
wishes to know the history and cause
of the re cent fight made against the
“combine,” which has forced up the
price of ties beyond all reasonable limits.
We have replied at length in order to
show lie farmers how they have been
fleeced, and to put them on guard
against a repetition of the same tactics
another year. The “trust” has made
several hundred thousand dollars out of
the farmers, which prompt and united
effort could .have prevented,

farmers who know they will be short of

ground pea vines and hay of any kind,
And also to plant rye patches and early
oats, that, by these means they may sup-
