Question—"Hon. O H. Ktevena, At
lanta, (la.— Dear Sir: Can you give
ma 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:
eompoet, which have been prepared by j
the State Chemist, John M. McCand
>*s.:
Id the first place take 100 pounds
Of quick lime and slake It with 150
pounds of kalnlt dissolved In hot wa
ter. De sure to so proportion the
amount of wator used as to slake
the lime to a powder, and not have
a wet, sticky mass If you Use too
much water yon will have a sticky
mass and not a powder which can he |
easily handled.
Your lime should be slaked by a hoi
solution of kalnlt to a powder, which is !
lost damp enough to handle comfort
ably. You have now an excellent and
perfect mixture of the lime with the
•ulphate of potash and chloride of so
tfiurn of the kalnit. The work should
he done at a point convenient and
eloae to where the eompoet pile is to
he mud a.
Tie materials yon will need to make
a ton of Compost aooordlng to my for
mhia then are as follows:
Formula No. 1:
100 pounds quick lime,
160 pounds of kalnlt.
MC pound* 14 per rant. acid phosphate,
100 pounds of ootto® seed meal,
1,200 pounds of stable manure,
Formula No. 2:
•§• pounds of quick ftm#,
160 pounds Of kalnlt,
MO potfnd* 14 per cent add phosphate,
460 pounds of green Cotton seed,
1,000 pounds of atahla manure.
f my will eheerre that both those for.
Anise add tip 1,900 pounds, tout ae a
matter of fact, they will add up 2,000
Pounds or more after the lime has
heen slaked with the hot solution of
kalnlt, because the Itme will absorb

Method of Composting.
First, put down a layer of stable
manure well chopped ana nee from
lumps, about three Inches thick,
sprinkle over this a layer of eottorl
on it
of Iowa
as I could make on an acre
land."
“What sort of crop- do you make
onthe Georgia soil?’
“I have made 10 bushels of wheat
and 100 bushels of roin on the same
acre In the same year, You will see
the fact is demon.-, I rat'-1 every day
thut Georgia land needs manure It
needs to have animals raised on It.
The Iowa land Is rich enough, hut It
has no such reasons to help 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.’ ’’
OA. DKIT OF AGRICULTURE-
Colonel J. B. Klllebrew, in Ur South
ern Farm Magazine, says:
"Wheat-growing could he made very
profitable wherever cotton Is produced,
and the harvest would interfere very
little with the cultivation and gather
ing of the cotton crop. When the
cotton-growing States become Indepen
dent in their meat and bread supplies,
they will become the most Jrosperous
States in the American Union.”
Qod speed the day!

A LOST ART.
Th» Blend of AVIil.-li Ortala
Hum fiuMl I’or Tool*.
Fame anil fortune await the lucky in
dividual who can rediscover the com
bination of metals from which the
Egyptians, the Aztecs add the Incas
of Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each of these nations reached
n high stale of civilization, none of
them ever discovered iron In spite of
the fact that the soil of all three coun
tries was largely Impregnated with It.
Their substitute for it was a combina
tion of metals which had the temper
of steel. Despite the greatest efforts
the secret of this composition has baf
fled scientists and lias become a lost
art. The great explorer, Humboldt,
tried to discover It from an analysis
of n chisel found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, hut all that lie could find
out was that It appeared to he a com
bination of n small portion of tin with
copper. This combination will not give
the linrdness of Steel, so It Is evident
that tin and copper could not have been
its only component parts. Whatever
might have been the nature of the me
tallic combination, these ancient races
were able so (o prepare pure copper
that it equaled iit temper the finest
css. With their hrohze and copper itt-
j Htninients they were able to quarry
and shape the ftrti'ifest known stones,
such as graitilc and porphyry, and
even cut emeralds and like substances.
A rediscovery of this lost art would
revolutionize lpuny trades in which
steel at present holds the monopoly.
If copper could thus he tempered now
its advantage over stool Would ho very
great, and it would no doubt ho pre
ferred to the latter in numerous indus
tries. It Is a curious fn,ct that, though
this lost score! still bafllos modern sci
entists, it must have heen discovered
