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run short and we have no big quantity of new coins to draw on 1 wo are obliged to pass pieces which would otherwise bo withdrawn and transferred to the melting put.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.” —-Washington tar.

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.

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 d< r of the umatourelectrician’s room and yeiiing to the supposed occupant to shut it off.

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, di\ weatuer oi summer begins, the moistuie giaumilly asoemis and, when it comes m leacn of the thirsty roots, it is lmmeuiateiy absorbed b\ r them, and goes to nourish the drooping plants, Let a tanner make the experiment with a small patch of laud, and mark theriif- f ere nee between the plowed and the uu- piowedplats, even in the winter months, Where the land is left hard, when the winter rains fall, the water, instead of emking into the land, penetrates only the sl,rface alui when it runs off, which n Wlli iuevitably do, it often carries with it much of the surface soU. in many ^ ases fertilized at heavy expense. Let tnac on the deeply plowed P mt » we havo tlie double advantage of both the water and the pre- cious elements of fertility^ Another ad- ' ‘intage oi tali plowing is that a mail ll Inu e 3\n* accomplish more^atis- ur\ .inil , thorough work ac muie in the Peasant fail weather, than when the bu '- y days ot spring come. There is tlme to uo the work carefully and com- P letel y» no crops are pressing for atten- tion V ami ’ e-mn “ fim-nw b V f e( .ti.ciy lull, another \ n r n 01 fact t - f which • f^ll plowing most important is tiiat every acre of such land contains iu its subsoil an amount of phosphoric a,-id ami v potash, which is more “ OIU than “ ldn suili- _ ieut to supply the needs of . any crops that may be grown on them for an indefinite number of years—but in their P rft sent condition these elements are not available. It-has been proven over and ov ci" again that when these unavailable dements are brought to the surface and exposed to the actiou of the air, the frosts and the rains, they are converted intn nviikKlo nUnt 1 x00(i It T< - seems ___ j folly n ‘ j ’ f 01 a tat mm to run up such heavy bibs with the fertilizer merchants, when by putting his plow iu deep and bringing to the surface a small portion of these heretofore auappropriated elements, he can each year supply his crops with some portion of the necessary plant food, fcs well a hold the moisture for further use. Ihe prairie lands of Mississippi were inexhaustable. at one time thought to be almost but there are acres and acres m that state from which the rich top soil has been ruthlessly skimmed— and now that the hard subsoil has been tlie ^“" s ;“ lstev,d of peaking this and re easing the stores of piaut- food coufiueo there, are turning to com- mercial fertilizers to supplement the thin layer of top soil which remains. 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 an unusually ia\orabie opportunity this year for testing this question. Cotton picking will doubtless be over early in this mouth and labor will be abuudaut and cheap The fields, which are us¬ ually occupied until the last mouth of the year, now offer no hindrance to ex- penmen ration on this line.

It is also important that they be kept dry. If the straw, earth, or other covering becomes damp, it shoal l be removed and dry material substituted. 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.
