Atlanta, Ga.. Amr. B.—The State
Department of Agriculture has taken
hold of the cotton tie trust and will
make investigations for the purpose of
finding a substitute for the ties that
have been cornered.
Commissioner H. T. Nesbitt today is
sued the following manifesto on the
subje *t.
"To th° Former? of Georgia and the
Sou h: A few years ago we were con
fronted by a gigantic monopoly, the
bagging trust, which tried to force from
the farmers thousands of dollars which
they, in their depressed condition, could
ill afford to lose. By united efforts on
the part of the farmers this evil was
averted, and the octopus, which had
fastened itself ou the agricultural indus
try, was destroyed.
“Today we are confronted by similar
trouble. The manufacturers of cotton
ties have formed another great combi
nation. and without any cause except to
gratify an unlawful greed, have agreed
to raise the price of their goods 100 per
I cent. If the price of iron had advanced
there might be some reason for this ac
tion, but iron was never cheaper, and
the same may be said of coal and laber.
The fact is simply that an effort is being
made to force the farmers of the sontli
1 to contribute millions to swell the profits
of a powerful combination of manufac
turers. The farmers are in good condi
tion just now to fight this trust. They
have their provisions. There are few
debts to be met until later, and there
fore no pressing necessity to force their
cotton on the market. I would advise
that they hold meetings in every section
of the south and denounce this attempt
to defraud them of their earniu gs. At
the same time let them advise together
; as to what is the best way to meet this
new enemy. Meanwhile tins depart
ment will make investigation as ro sub
stitutes for cotton ties, as wi 1 meet the
requirements of durability and safety.
“(Signed) R T. Nesbitt,
“Department of Agriculture.”
After careful investigation and the
reception of encouraging letters from
farmers in all sections, we issued the
following:
| “Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21 —To the
Farmers of Georgia: This department
| has been investigating the question of
substituting wire ties for the flat ties
heretofore used iu baling cotton, and I
believ now that a satisfactory solution
of the question has been readied. I
now urge upon the fanners of this and
the other cotton growing states to meet
together in ve counties and
devise plans for securing wire
necessary delay packing your cotton for
a short time in order that you may get
the wire ties,
“The following letters explain the
matter. The ties used by Mr. George
W. Truitt are made by the Continental
Wire Company, Laclede building. St.
Louis/ Mo. They weigli 18 pounds to
the bundle and are offered at 50 cents a
bundle (30 ties) on the cars at St. Louis
in car load lots or 60 cents in smaller
quantities.
“The ties recommended by the Farm
ers’ Alliance Exchange of South Caro
lina can be purchased from Washburn
& Moen Manufacturing Company, 241
Pearl street, New York. They weigh
3?'o pounds to the bundle and will cost
90 cents a bundle laid down in Atlanta.
Any further information desired will
be cheerfully furnished upon applica
tion to this department.
“R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.”
Mr. Truitt writes that the wire ties
are a success in every particular, and
Mr. Duncan, manager of the Farmers’
Alliance Exchange of South Carolina,
urges its adoption at Once. Many other
letters indicate that it has been given
a favorable reception, and has stood
tests as to strength, durability, and in
jury to bagging. The heavier wire is
preferred.
WORK FOR THE MOxXl.
Push the fattening hogs. Every pound
of flesh gained as the weather grows
colder is made at additional expense.
Hogs which are ready for the knife the
first cold spell make the best and cheap
est meat. Give them variety of food
and see that they are kept in clean
quarters, with plenty of pure water to
drink. Give an occasional dose of cop
peras, and keep ashes and salt mixed
dry they can easily reach it. Fall
oats should be sown—the laud weli pre
pared and fertilized. Also put in the
crops of rye and barley. Where the lo
cation is suitable the grasses and clovers
should also be sown. They require rich
laud and a fine, deep seed bed. Gather
the cotton ns carefully as circumstances
will admit. The prematurely opened
bolls will require more care than is us
ual. Don’t gin when damp, and don’t
leave exposed to the weather.
11 T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.
Blac&barn >ud Blair.
They tell a good story in Washington
on Joe Blackburn. He had an exciting
argument in a senatorial cloakroom at
Washington several years ago as to the
relative value of brandy and whisky as
man’s greatest boon. In the midst of
the argument the stoical prohibition
Senator Blair of New Hampshire en
tered the room. Forgetting the well
known total abstinence tendencies of
the New Englander, Senator Blackburn
appealed to him to settle the dispute.
“I do not know the difference between
whisky and brandy, ” replied Senator
Blair, with a face as passive as a Jap*
anese doll. After Blair had departed
Blackburn’s eyes actually moistened
with sympathy as he shook his head
sadly and said: “Poor old man! His
stomach must be in awful shape. -
New York Tribune.
Dauki and Drakes.
A man who wrote to Forest and Stream
awhile ago said that 80 per cent of
tlje ducks he had killed were drakes—
four drakes to one female—and he
wanted to know the reason why. Others
promptly said they had observed similar
preponderance of drakes, and also want
ed to know why. One man told how he
had seen one female dock chased by
four or five males. He had killed 45 in
a spring day’s shooting, and of them
only 9 were females.
Thus far no explanation has keen
given of the matter.

RIK'K or AfiKS."
By EdW. Freeney
It was midnight, and I wandered
On my vigil, to and fro:
And the thoughts of passed years squand
dered
Filled my aching heart with woe.
On l wandered, tired and weary,
Down the dark, deserted street.
And my heart was sad and dreary
as I dragged-my weary feet
Through the gloom a feeble glimmer
Shed a rosy glow of light.
And its cherry, golden shimmer
Seemed to beckon through the night.
Hark! a woman’s voice is singing.
And the song I pause, to hear
As the voice with pathos ringing.
Softly,sweetly greets mine ear.
“rocx of Ages,” she is singing,
And the tones fall sweet and low.
Recollections to me me bringing
Of the happy long ago.
When the days were full of gladness,
And my life with joy replete;
Ah ! I've drained the cup of sadness :
Life, to me, no more is sweet.
’•Rock of Ages,” as I listen
To the old fa mi la r song,
In my eyes the teardrops glisten
And fond mem’ries round me throng,
How the sweet voice stirs and thrills me:
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me.”
And a thought with rapture fills me;
Was the rock, too, cleft for me?
Some poor, weary mother keeping
Vigil o’er an angel child;
Or, perhaps like mine, she’s weeping
O’er a wayward boy that,s wild.
With a tremor it is ended ;
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me
And my voice with hers is blended,
“Let me hide myself in Thee.”

BENIGN TORNADOES. ’
One Delivered a House to a Mortgagee
and Another Made a Dog Salable.
“And. talking about cyclones,” said
the man from Kansas, “them air twist
ers is mighty queer things.”
The smart young man who sat beside
the Kansan threw away his cigarette,
Hid even thegripman looked interested.
“You have seen a tornado, then?”
said the smart young man with anima
tion.
“Seen ’em?” said the farmer scorn
fully. “Why, young feller, I comes
from Kansas. ’ ’
“Oh!” said the smart young man. A
little later he ventured to remark,
“Had lots of experience with cyclones,
t suppose.”
“Experience? Naw. you don’t get no
experience dealing with cyclones,” said
the man from Kansas, “ ’cause them
twisters ne\ . .!o the same thing twice.
You just lei. to dig out for the cellar
when you see ’em comm. ”
‘ ‘They do all sorts of queer things, I
suppose?” said thegripman, as he start
ed the train with a sudden bound that
jostled the smart young man’s hat over
his eyes.
“One of ’em done mo a good turn
once, ’ ’ said the man from Kansas med
itatively. “Boot and Mit Glover own
the next farm to mine out in Pawneo
county, and their crops kept a-failing,
and they kept a-borrowing money off of
me till they had their house mortgaged
clean up to the roof. It looked like my
money was a goner, for they kept on
losing their corn crop every, year and I
couldn’t get the house ’cause they had
a shotgun waiting for me in the kitchen.
Well, one day ’long comes one of these
roaring cyclones, and blessed if it didn’t
blow that whole house over into my
pasture—yes, sir, and dropped the roof
down on the foundations just as neat as
you could have laid it Looked as if the
house had just sunk out of sight. But
then I didn’t have a mortgage on the
roof, so I didn’t care about that.”
“Reminds me of a story of a brother
of mine out in loway,”said the man
on the step. “Had a fine setter dog—
best hunter in the state. My brother
wouldn’t shoot, so he wanted to sell
tim. But he couldn’t, ’cause the dog
had a twist in his tail like a pig. Cy
clone caught that dog out in the buck
wheat patch one day and just nacherally
ironed out that tail like a broomstick.
He sold the dog for SBO the next week. ”
