I * robahJe there will be a still farther

I / the mills close down. The reason
II such a fall in the price of

cott
, on joods a short time ago, after the
crest rise,
was overproduction. Dur
" tllt . time that the high prices pre
nileil all of the mills were run at their
^l‘ es t capacity. The conso<iuonco was
(hit the marked was overstocked.
fi, er e is uo probability apparently
(ia! there will be a fall in the price of
ttou - at least such a fall as will mo
rally atl'ect the prices of cottou
hoJs. Indeed, the indications are for
i higher price of cotton. Bofore tho
I iesas storm tho estimates were all in
I the direction of a crop as small as that
lollwt year, and it is probable that
I the Texas crop has boen damaged to
I the extent of a hundrod thousand bales
I jr core. In fact, somo of the reports
I place the damage at a much largor
| umber of halos.
The crop last yoar having been a
I short one. and the outlook being that
I the eroi this year will also bo short,
(there is no reason why there should ho
| a decline in price of cotton.
The shutting down of a largo number
| c! mills for a time will produce a scar
I city of cotton goods, and bring about a
(rise in the prices of them. The mills
1 that have closed down will then be in a
I position to resume operations.
The price of cotton is higher than it
Ibis heeu for ten years and the cotton
(market is strong. It the Chinese trou-
(ble were to he settled within the next
| month it is pretty certain that cotton
|would advance considerably beyond its
(present price.—Savannah News.
Governor Candler does not believo
I that Georgia will gain another con-
| gressman under the new census, Ha
I tikes the position that tho state will
I hive to gain a population of at least
I JM.QOU in order to get an additional
(representative iu congress. Governor
I Candler is probably correct. During
| tie first four or five years after tho
I taking of tho last censas, Georgia did
I not inercaso in population very rapid-
llj. Tor the last few years, however,
| the population of tho state has been
I increasing quite rapidly. Georgia is
I now u growing,thriving state. The iu
| crease in her taxablo values last yoar

million dollars, and if she does not
I gain a now congressman this time, she
I *ill certainly secure one under tho

American disease, because it goes
straight to the source of the weak

Questions Answered.
Is there any objection to planting
peach trees on noxvly cleared land?
Ans. In my opinion nowly cleared
land should never be planted in peach
trees if other good peach land is availa
ble. laud should bo cultivated at least
two years after clearing before planting
it in orchard.
The reason: New land cannot be prop
erly prepared for the reception of trees
on account of the roots of the forest
trees. Thorough preparation af the
ground before planting is ono of tho
essential factors iu fruit growing. Deep
preparations before planting and shallow
cultivation afterwords is tho rale.
Furthermore, trees planted an now
land are subject to tho attacks of Tor-
mites or "wood-lice,*’ as they are com
monly known to the fruit grower. Theso
insects breed in great numbers in de
caying roots of forest trees and whoa
fruit trees are plan tod in now land they
fall on easy prey to those “wood-lioo,"
which attack the roots and the base of
the tree. Tho remedy for “wood-lioo"
is tobacoo dust. The dirt should bo re
moved from the base of tho tree and a
hand fall of tobacoo dost applied and
the dirt thrown back.

eloped with Miss Corneille I would not
go to a separate hotel as soon as I ar

ECZEMA'S
ITCH IS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
flammation ; little pustular emotions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales oil; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
ami the itching and hurniug at times are
almost unbearable; the ucid burning
humor seem* to ooze out and set the skin
on lire. Salves, washes nor other exter
nal applications do any real good, for as
ilong ns the poison remains iu the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

Question.—Will you please give me
some information iu regard to corn
shredding?
Questions and Ansxvers.
Colonel It. J. Redding, Director, Gcor-
jiu Exjiorimeut Station, answered a sim
ilar question somo timo since as follows:
No. 1. In what stage did you cut tho
corn for tho shredder ?
Annswer. About one week later than
the stage at which farmers usually "pull
fodder. ’
No. 3. How much cau six hands cut
and shock in one ilay 1
Answer. Six bauds cau cut aud shock
a given area of corn as quickly as they
could pull the fodder aud "take it up,"
aud stack it and haul it to tho barn. Iu
shocking it will bo necessary to have a
sort of a rough framo or "shocker, ” in
order to enable one porson to roach the
top of the shock. This "shocker” is
mado by taking piece of 3x4 scantling 13
or 14 foot long, patting two legs in one
end 4 or 8 foot long, something like the
legs to a "saw-horse." Tho legs ore put
in so that they can be taken ont easily,
and abont 3 foet from where tho legs ore
Insorted, 1% inch nugor holo is bored
tlirongh tho piece of timber, and a light
pin 4 foot long is loosely inserted to the
middle. This “shocker” is set np on its
feet, tho pin insorted and the corn is laid v
in bundles in the four angles thus
formed, enabling tho man who shocks
and ties to stand upon it, and reach the
top of the shock to tie it. By withdraw
ing tho looso pin and two legs, it con bo
oasily moved to tho noxt shock.
3rd. About how many stalks did you
put iu a shock?
Answer. About 150 to 200, according
to sizo of stalks.
4th. What did you uso to tio tho tops
together with?
Answer. Common bagging twino,
such as is asod in bailing ootton.
5th. How long did yon lot tho shocks
of corn remain in tho field bofore haul
ing them np and shredding?
Answer. Until folly dry. Tho timo
will depend on tho weather. Lost year
it so happened there was no rain on tho
shocks for four weeks, by which timo
tho corn xvas fully dry and ready for tho
crib and the stalks dry enough for tho
shredder. Caro should be taken, how
ever, that tho stalks bo entirely dry,
otherwise tho shredded stalks will not
keep well if pat away in balk.
fith. What per cent did tho shredder
shack clean as it snapped the oars off
the stalks?
Answer. Wo did not use tho snapping
roll, bat used tho large fowl roll. We
shuckod out the corn from tho shock,
leaving tho shacks on tho stalk.
7th. Did any of tho cars of corn dam
age by catting and shacking in tho
the field?
Answer. No.
full. Wore tho ears of corn as heavy
as when left on tho stalks tho "old
way?”
Answer. We did not actually weigh
tho ears and make a test to see if thero
was any loss of wolght of tho ears of
corn iu the shocks as compared with
cars allowod to dry on tho stalks, but
from previous experiments I am pre
pared to say that the loss will be very
small, if any at all; and if tho cars should
be lighter, tho loss of wolght in tho ear
will be compensated by increased weight
iu stover, so that there is no loss.
9th. Did tho stock cat the shreddod
stalks with a relish ?
Answer. Yes—especially cattle.
10th. How much per aero do you
think is saved by cutting and shredding
the stalks against "pulling tho fodder,”
and saving corn in the "old way?’
Answer. According to our estima
tion, based upon actual weighings, our
corn mnkiiig as much as 30 to 40 bushels
to tho acre, there will be saved by shred-
iliug the corn stalks about 40 islands for
each bushel of corn, and these 40 pounds
will be worth not less than #10 to 612 per
ton, or about 20 cents for every bushel.
This does not include the shucks nor the
blades, but it is intended to include
simply the corn stalks that ore usually
left in the field when foddor is stripped
off in tho usual way.—Georgia Agri
