SATTERFIELD, Dealer in FAMILY GROCERIES A.2!STD General Merchandise. J,ime as a Fertilizer. (Continued.) It is difficult to determine just how frequent liming should bo practiced. .Much depends upon the characli r of the soil, the crops to be grown and the order of their succession and tho number of years given to tho rotation off crops. As a rule from half a ,tou to one and a half tons of lime per acre applied every live or sij; years is sufficient. It would ho safe to apply two or three tons on every acid soils which have been seeded with tho intention of allowing the land to remain in grass for several years. Caustic or slacked lime should bo applied in autumn, particularly on light sandy soils and where plants arc to lie giowu which arc liltle helped by li«ie. Applied in the spring it not only injures plants directly, but also indirectly by rendering the physical condition ,0': the soil unfavorable. It may also make ihe soil so alkaline as to interfere with tho activity of tho organisms which transforms ammonia into nitrates which is readily assimilated by plants. This iujury cannot be permanent as the carbonic acid in the soil changes f lie .caustic lime auto the carbonate form and thereby great ly reduces tho alkalinity of the soil. Do not apply lime to the land and then turn it under. Lime has a tendency to work downward in the soil and if plowed under it would soon be beyond the reach of The seeding roots of most plants. A better way would he to scatter it on freshly plowed land and har row it in. It should ho harrowed immediately after it is scattered on I the land to prevent its taking up water which would causo it to cake or form a mortar, rendering it difficult to mix very thoroughly in the soil. Caustic lime made by the burn ing of limestone is the most econ omical form to purchase, but gyp- suno jfland plaster), marl and phos phate of lime is often used. A ton of limestone will produce about 1200 pounds of caustic lime; hence it is economy to burn the lime near where the stones are quarried. ‘Gypsum is a combination of dime with sulphuric acid and wit' ter. When gypsum is heated it looses its water and is converted into plastor of paris which :s much used for industrial pur*, poses. Plastor of paris is not so economical as tho caustic lime. It contains only about one-third as much lime and usually costs more per ton. It is better for renova ting “black alkali” soils in arid regions than slacked lime, Phosphate of lime is valuable both for the lime and phosphoric acid which it contains. It is the well-known South Carolina, Flori da and Tennessee phosphate rock, but the best grades of phosphate rocks contain small amounts of carbonate of lime, Uoleached wood ashes contain about BO per cent of lime, 7 per cent potash and 1 to 2 per cent of phosphoric acid. Leached ashes contain more limo but only about 1 per cent, of potash. Coal ashoe have no value as a fertilizer. Chas. W. Davis, N. G. A. C.

Thirty- three of them were confirmed ci garette smokers. Today, from a reliable source, I have made the gruesom discovery that two of tihe largest cigarette manufacturers in this country soak their product in ft weak solution of,opium.” If the day covered eight hours in business, the court was kept busy with this hord of young boys all the time,, and thirty-three were confirmed cigarette.smokers. It has been understood for a considerable time Unit, some ci- 1 kgarettes and some brands of snuff had “dope” qualities. Doubtless , this insures there popularity with I those who enjoy the doped artie* ' les. ! Opium is like whisky, it. creates a growing appetite, grows with 1 what it foods upon. The cigarette ; smoker enjoys the dope sensation | and after a time he is as craving : for the sensation as ho is for the | taste and smell of tobacco. Never a day passes that some murder, 'hotuic,ide or .trouble .with police is not chronicled. How much is duo to doped tobacco I which is used no one can tell, of | I course, but opium is a true ally of j bad whisky, and its victims are j generally addicted to tho other voice. 1 The history of cigarette using i by young boys would be a start ling revelation to many of their mothers if they understood the alarming proportions to which it has grown in this country. It is a deadly habit in the most cases, and when the cigarettes are steeped in a dope drug to drown the sen ses of the user tho crime is diabol ical.—Ex.

The other ' day in New York a young hus- j band attacked a passenger on a ! street car whom he accused of making googoo eyes at his wife. A prominent candy manufacturer (who shall be nameless here) fol lowed the young man to the sta tion house and went on his bond, although, a stranger, because he admired the way he had defended his wife. Of course tho candy man’s name got in all tho papers with the story of his offering to put up his factory, worth $30,000, as security fur lue young hue- band’s appoaruuee. On Tuesday last two men got off the U o’clock train. They went to the Ordinary’s office. They were F. M. Hogg and J. W. Bry ant, of Bessemer, Ala. Bryant, who was reared here, wauted to marry Hogg's daughter, Hogg demanded a certificate .that he had not been .maiyried before, and they came all the way from Bessemer to find out the facts about him. The Ordinary showed them Ids books, disclosing the fact that no license had been issued in Cobb. One or two parties told Hogg that as far as known to them Bryant was all right. dicing satisfied, then went to the depot to hike the 11 o’clock train back to Atlanta. They sat down in Anderson’s stable. Meantime Simp Jackson learned they were here and knew something of interest to them. He told the sheriff to find them. He went to find them himself. lie found them at the stable and in vited Bryant to remain iu the city at the county’s expense. Bryant had skipped his bond here some time ago and Jackson was on it. Having placed Bryant in ji.il, Jackson told Hogg his record. He had a wife and child in Canton, haying married to get out of jail. Hogg, who seemed to he a nice man, returned to Bessemer to tell his daughter to change hor plans. -Cobb County Courier. Profit In Early Tomatoes. 1 Growing and marketing toma- ! toes lie .an important branch of 1 farming on The garden and truck ! farms about Providence. The soil of the greater part of the county is suitable for their cul- I tore, and in some portions excep- ' tionally early ones are produced. ; The soil is in a large part of the towns bordering upon the city a light sandy loam, such as is just right for early forcing crops, and this hoips the tomato grower. Plants started in hotbeds will bear as early as the middle of July in good season, and at that time fabulous prices are received for the fruit. Sometimes, as during I the past season, tho early figure is as high as $5 a bushel, and the tomatoes that are raised early are not of surprisingly good quality. Two dollars to $3 is a common price for early fruit, and it will drop sometimes in two weeks to about $1. This year the season was backward aiuLtomotoes were late.—American Cultivator.
