-0:)m!!.*■: a?? ft Egyptian cotton? Is not
all this a ;ii-if ion ab ut its interfering
v.-.rh our long staple coiioa gotten up
for political oiled?
Ans wish. —The cotton trade of E;ypt
is inneasin'.: very rapidly. The number
of pounds lias nearly doubled since
IS79—the first year in which we had
official reports?. In 1879 Egypt exported
27'4063 Bi3 pounds. The offiual report
for 1895 is tiie latest, and givoa the
amount as 531,477,1 S3 pounds. The
price has fa 1 .mistca iily from 1495 cents
in 1879 to 89T coats in 1895. Our first
direct importation of Egyptian cotton
was in 1884, and its use here has in*
creased very rapidly. lit 1593 wo im
ported directly from Egypt 43,574,760
pounds. This amount, added to that
which was received through English
channels, increased the total to about
50.000,000 pounds, or about 100,000 bales
American cotton. In view of these
facts our growers of Sea Island cotton
have felt much uneasiness. The presi
dent of the New York Cotton Ex
change, Ho i. Gustavus O. Hopkins,
fays that Egyptian cotton certainly
does compete with our Sea Island of
long staple cotton. Georgia raises two
thirds of this latter crop, and we are of
course directly interested in any move
ment which tends either to increase or
depto33 the price.—State Agricultural

QuestiOS. —l3 there any remedy to
prevent the corn smut, which, it seems
to me, is increasing in the last few
years ‘i
Ansv/eh. —The remedies for corn
smut must necessarily be of a preventa
tivo nature, because from the fast that
the disease outers the plant when
young, gpraying with Bordeaux mix
ture and other fungicides will do little
good. Experiments on this line have
been made and the results have con
firmed this opinion. On investigation
it will be found that when the diseased
corn is left in the field or on the ground
it will infect succeeding crops, and also
that while smutted corn fed to horses
may not be very injurious to the ani
mals, the spores will be distributed iu
the muuuro and will work a great
amount of damage. To arrest the dis
ease it will pay to practice rotation of
crops, and also to destroy as much of
the smut as possible before it comes to
maturity. Cut off the smut bails and
bury or bum them before they burst
and scatter the spores broadcast. Bis
sey savs: “Where domestic animals
are allowed to eat smut in the field,
they become the carriers of the spores
and their droppings, filled with the still
living spores, become the centers of in
fection., No animal should be permit
ted to eat smutted corn, even though
the owner be convinced of its harmless
ness to the animal it-clf. The harm
lies in the distribution of the spores,
which are little if at all injured by
passing ill*, ugh tho alimentary cnnals
of aiimiul'i.”— State Agr.aultural De

ventiva means by a careful selection
of seed, and go treating it before
planting as in som 1 measure to
f„ r uai\l against this dise.ts). The sim
plest treatment, and one tint gives as
good results as any, is to soak tho seed
wheat for two or tbreo hours in a solu
tion made of four ounces of sulphate of
copper (b'. ties tone) to a gallon of water.
Stir the wheat oc asionally and skim
oil* all the light a:t 1 defo-.tive saod that
rise to the top. It is claimed by some
that a free use of salt as a fertilizer
will prevent rust, but this has not* beeu
demonstrated. The rust of course does
most damage when it attacks the stalks,
• for then tho grain is directly injured.
If you will select your seed from wheat
tli at fully mature! and ripened in the
! field, entirely froo from rust, and will
then treat it nsdes rib; i, yon will stand
a fair chance of os-aping rust, though

Question. —Wl7 is it that wo so
raii.iy see a perfect quince these days?
I remember that in my youth this was
considered one of oar most certain
! fruits and tho rows of quince trees in
| my mother’s garden lade a with tiio
! heavy yellow fruit is still a pleasant
memory.
Ajivwnii.—Quinces, like many other
of our fruit trees, have been sadly neg
lected, and the insidious advances of
di eases have been scarcely noticed, urf
til they li ivo obtained such a firm foafc
hold as to be very ilifii - uit of eradioa
cation. There are four diseases to which
the quince is liable; The Leaf Elight
and Emit Spot, the Quince Rust, tne
Black Rot and the Twig Blight. Tno
first attacks the fruit as well as foliage,
and young quince trees in the nursery
arc peculiarly liable to it. The remedy
is spraying with Bordeaux mixture.
The rust attacks the fruit, ami unless
the disease is cheeked, the young
quinces will be distorted and misshapen
long before they mature. The fun us
of this disease is communicated fr ~n
the “cedar apples” and “cedar balls”
so often seen on cedar trees, and if these
trees grow near a quince orchard thoy
should bo destroyed. Spraying with
fungicides tn ty also be use 1 with ad
vantage.
The Black Rust is more safely pre
vented by clean eu'ture than by fungi
cides, because the disease usually ap
pears when the fruit is reaching ma
turity, ami the application of fungi
cides might be attended with danger.
All rotting or mummified fruit should
be destroyed, and after tne crop is gath
ered late sprayings of amintmiaeal solu
tion of copper carbonate will be bene
ficial.
The Twig Blight very much resem

HOW THE SCHOOL IS GOVERNED*
This is not a reform school; therefore we have no set rules. We desire
the attendance of Indies and gentlemen, and wo expect to treat them as such,
We are willing to advertise in regard to the conduct of students *and
privilege of asking *lio withdrawel of any one who does not conform to tb e
usual deportment of a lady or gentlemen.
EXI’V.XSKS. It is an object of the school to impress practical economy
in fvery flcpartnient. Good board can be liad frun Sl.no to $2.00 per week,
nnd room rein from 50c to 73c per week, thus making 'he entire cost with tu—
lion $8 00 per \ve< k. To meet these low rates it is ’absolutely neensaarv that
all bills be paid a term in advance. We will refund money paid for board or
room rent, but charge 10c per week additional lor the time, if less than one
term. Text -books may lie rented from the text book library at 10 percent
of the retail, thus saving a great deal in the expenses of books. School be
