Cultivation of Cotton.
To prepare the land comes first iik.
order, which is done by furrowing
the rows in widths to suit the Soil—
say, if the land will produce eight
hundred pounds of seed cotton per
acre, run rows three feet apart; if a
thousand pounds, three and a half
feet apart, and bo on in proportion
to strength of land.
Then, with turn plow bed out the
spaces thus made deep and close, so
that no ridges remain unbroken be
tween furrows; the finishing furrows
should be run the deepest, going
well down into the clay. Thus the
land is broken.
To apply any fertilizer, strew in
water-furrow, made by bedding up
the land. Any quantity per acre de
sired may be used, applying same
three or four weeks before planting.
After placing fertilizer, form small
ridge thereon by running two fur
rows, cutting from bed. Do not
make fresh furrows, but place fertil
izer in old furrow.
When planting, run long three-
inch plow well down opening fur
row for the seed. Cover with small
scooters attached to covering board
of the planter, so that the row will
not be left flat to form a crust pre
venting cotton coming up.
Thus we have the cotton planted.
Cultivation is now in order, which
should be done with cultivators—
Planet, Jr., Horse Hoe—the best
plow in the world for this purpose.
Side the ootton first with three 1J
inch steels, using same in middles to
destroy grass and weeds, and at the
same times pulverizing the soil and
opening the cells or repositories of
plant food from the atmosphere.
These small steels break the land
deep without throwing an open fur
row, as afttr the old plan. As the
cdtton grows larger, larger steels
may be used—shovels and sweeps.
Planting in the-water farrows en
ables cultivation to proceed without
interferring with the roots of the
plants, and the work is more effect
ively done by working the soil down
instead of up to the cotton, all the
time keeping the plants below a lev
el to hold the water, and not on a
ridge to shed it off into the middle
of the rows and out of the field.
There is no deception in using
cultivators with shovels and sweeps,
as there is in using scooters and
scrapes. The scrape is a vain de
deceiver, in that it covei’s up and
hides the damage done by the scoot
or that goes before. See, on hard
land, where there is not sufficient
loose earth to fill up and hide the
furrow made by the root-cutter.

- By Joo Betlgo,
At the last regular appointment of
our pastor, Rev. H. C. Brewton, the
m3eting JJat this place was pro
tracted several days, and muoh in
terest was manifested. It was a
very good meeting, and closed with
eleven additions to the church.
Our farmers had nice weather for
saving fodder last week, but to-day
points to the contrary.
Crops are lopking well in this sec-
tiou, and have no complaint to make.
The Grovania ginnery is undergo
ing repairs and will be in fine trim
to cut the fleecy staple and paok in
square or round bale shape, as the
farmer may prefer.
Miss Mattie Miller ot Perry, I am
informed, will teach school at thiB
place for the ensuing fall term. Miss
Mattie is a most excellent teacher,
having taught at this place several
terms, and has given satisfaction,we
think, to all the patrons.
MisBes Clyde and Willie Buff of
Elko were the guests of Misses Ma
ry, Vie and Jessie Winn Riley for
several days last week.
Miss Mattie Miller of Perry is vis

A FENCE THAT FENCES.
Woven Steel Wire Does It for Years at
a Low Cost,
Wanted: A fenoe that will fence
and last for years, at a low cost.
This was a tong-felt want with far
mers, planters and cattlemen in all
parts of the country, till the perfec
tion ’of the woven steel fenoe known
as the Ellwood Steel Wire Fenoe.
This filled the long-feet want, and
is to-day used frpm the Atlantic to
the Pacific for every kind of farm,
ranch and plantation fencing. It
furnishes protection to crops and
holds all kinds of live stock for the
longest term of years at the least
cost.
The Ellwood Fence does fence*
It is made of high-grade Bessemer
steel, heavily galvanized and praotL
cally everlasting. It is woven so ac
curately that it stretches evenly and
when subjected to any se\ ere strain,
as when a heavy man climbs over it
or a farm wagon is accidentally
backed against it, the tension is
evenly distributed and no damage is
done. It is a diamond meBh fence,
the heavy twisted cable wires being
connected by panels which are small
near the ground and larger toward
the top of the fence.

An Accident and Tragedy.
At Fort Valley last Monday , a
little boy accidentally shot and
killed his little sister, and from
the Macon Telegraph we re-pro-
duce the following report of the
deplorable incident:
“By the accidental disoharge.of
a shotgun, Marguerite, the 5-year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert Flournoy of Fort Valley, was
instantly killed. Ohe side of her
face and head was 5 torn away.
Death wa,s instantaneous.
“The gun was held in the hands
of Marguerite’s 10-year-old broth
er at the time of the fatal explo
sion. The little girl’s head was
not more .than two feet from the
the muzzle. The little brother is
named Robert Flournoy, Jr.
“Mr. Robert Flournoy is a
brother of Mr. J. A. Flournoy of
Macon, and he haB a number of
other relatives here. He is a con
ductor running between Macon
and Palatka on the Georgia
Southern and Florida railroad.
He was on his run when the acci
dent occurred. He was telegraph
ed for at once.
“The members of the family
are comfortless over the tragedy,
and little Robert is almost crazed
with grief. He was especially de
voted to his little sister, and at
the time of the schooting the lit
tle girl was engaged in some child
ish amusement, unoonsoious of
the presence of danger. Her lit
tle brother had decided to clean
up the gun, which he supposed to
be unloaded. He lifted it from
the rack with this purpose in
view. There was an explosion,
and smoke filled the hallway. The
thundering noise ceased and the
smoke lifted. The boy stood daz
ed. The first sight on whioh his
eye rested was that of his little
sister lying on the floor within
eight feet of him. Blood had
spattered about the floor. The
little fellow’s agony was pitiable
when other members of the house
hold reached the scene.”
