OOTTON CULTURE.
Remit of Ten Years of Practloal Experi
ence at Station Farm. Good Ad
( vies For the Intelligent
Farmer.
The ten years of experiments in
the culture of cotton have justified
certain conclusions that may be
accepted as practically flual, al
though subject to some modifica
tions which may be demanded by
still repeated experiments. Of
course it is not meant that these
conclusions apply with equal force
to all soils and to every section of
the state. The varying character
and conditions of soil, aud to si me
extent the varying conditions of
climate, will require more or less
radical changes or modifications
in the varieties selected, the com
position of fertilizers and methods
of culture. It is believed however,
that the intelligent practical farm
er will find no serious difficulty in
aud adapting methods
to A? peculiar conditions.
these conclusions have
a general application to corn and
other crops ak, well as to cotton.
son, AND PREPARATION.
Character of Soil.—The soils in
Middle Georgia that are usually
described as gray or gravelly, with
yellow clav subsoil, although not
generally the most productive, are
better suited to the production of
cotton than for corn or other grain.
Bottom lauds, when not too wet,
produce cotton well, but corn,oats
and grass better. Cotton is a
plant requiring a comparatively
long season, aud will stand greater
extreme# of drought than will
corn.
Preparation—Thorough breaking
•iid commingling the upper layer#
of the soil, say to the depth of 6
to 8 inches, using plow and har
row, is more effective than deeper
but less thorough breaking and
fining of the soil.
Subsoiling,—As a rule it does
not pay to subsoil the upland soils
of Middle Georgia. In some of
the experiments subsoiling slight
!y increased the yield, but not
enough to compensate for the ex
tra expense. There may be some
soils and some circumstances oc
curing in Middle Georgia which
will justily subsoiling but they
have not been found on the State
Farm.
VARIETIES.
Only actual experimental plant
ing can determine what variety of
cotton is best adapted to a given
soil or seetion. As a rule the ear
ly maturing varieties will give the
best results in the northern ex
treme of the cotton region, say
north of Atlanta, Rome and Ath
ens, but not always. On the Sta
tion Farm, while the early varie
ties have sometimes given excel
lent results, standing even as high
as second best, they are not as re
liable as later and more vigorous
varieties.
The indications favor a variety
with large bolls, large seeds, high
percentage of lint, medium as to
earliness and persistent in fruiting
throughout the season.
Of course when planting very
late the early varieties are desira
ble.
The Station has made no extend
ed experiments iu regard to length
aud fineness aud strength of fibre,
chiefly because there seems to be
no sufficient demand lor “upland
long staples.”
DISTANCE.
The experiments that have beeu
made indicate unmistakably that
the cotton plants should be
thinned to one in a place and that
the rows should be narrow and the
plants wider so as to be more near
ly equidistuit. Of course on very
thin land requiring a very thick
stand, the rows cannot be econo
mically, with reference to expense
of planting and cultivating, closer
than 80 to 80 inches, and the
plant* may then be not further
apart than 10 to 12 inches.
On laud capable of a yield of
for li bales per acre the rows
should he 84 to 4 feet wide and
the plants 12 to 18 inches apart in
the drills, the narrower rows and
the closer spacing for the less pro
ductive soil.
FERTILIZBKS AND M ANUKIS.
There are 110 fertilizers thatisill
give better results on cotton than
well preserved and throughly rot
ted farm yard manures applied
very early in the season of prepa
ration, but it will add very much
to the effectiveness of such man
ures to mix with them a liberal
dose of acid phosphate, say 100 to
200 pounds to each ton.
The host results from concen
trated fertilizers have been from
those containing BjS parts available
phosphoric acid, 1 part potash and
1 part tiitrogeu: or 10 parts phos
phoric acid, 4 parts potash and !i
parts nitrogen, which preserves
the same proportions.
The ordinary mixed goods, gu
anos, sold to farmers, as a rule do
not contain a sufficiency of either
potash or nitrogen; or to state it
differently, they contain an excess
of phosphoric acid.
Application.—Commercial fer
tilizers should he applied to the
land and bedded or not less than
a week before planting It does
not pay to divide the amount in
tended (when moderate) into two
or more applications, one before
planting, and one or more subse
quently. Nitrate of Soda, how
ever, may sometimes be profitably
applied a month or more after
planting.
topping .
As a rule the operation of “top
ping” does not pay. It oftener
injures than benefits. It is not
recommended.
CI’LTIVATION.
This should be frequent and
shallow. “Once a week and once
in a row,” with a widely extended
cultivator that will reach almost
from row to row, would ho a good
rule. One inch, or just deep
enough to do good work is suffi
cient. Run one time on the north
side, or east side of every row this
week; on the south, or west side
next week, and so on alternating
until the cotton limbs “hide the
ground,” making six to eight fur
rows to row.
ROTATION.
Cotton should be planted in a
regular rotation: Ist year, corn
and peas; 2d year wheat and oats,
followed by cowpeas for hay; 8d
year, cotton.
CONSTIPATION

It is the custom in Cincinnati
to ring out the old year and ring
in the new year by tapping the
numerals of the years on the fire
bolls. On the evening of Dec. 81
ad preparations had been made to
carry out the custom and the fire
men were waiting for midnight
Then some curious person asked
how the men would ring 1900.
Everybody was stuck. After a
good deal of puzzling over an ap
parent impossibility, the desper
ate ringers decided to ring one,
then nine, aud then ring the bells
too vigorously for any very partic
ular person to count the stroke.
CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
with local applications, as they
cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a blood or con
stitutional disease, and iu order
to cure it you must take internal
remedies. Hail’s Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucus surfaces.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
couutry for years and is a regular
prescription. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined
wish the best blood purifiers, act

of the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results

AN EDITOR'S'!,IFE SAVED
BY CHAMBERLIN’S COUGH REMEDY
During the early part of Octo
ber, 1896, I contracted a bad cold
which settled on mv lungs aud
was neglected until I feared that
consumption had appeared in an
iucipient state. I was constantly
coughing and trying to expel
something which I could not. I
became alarmed and after giving
the local doctor a trial bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the result was imme
diate improvement, and after I
had used three bottles my lungs
were reslored to their healthy
state. — B. 8. Edwards. Publisher

Many years ago a number of Pe
oria Indians organized a show’ com
pany aud made a tour of the east.
They were mostly half-breeds and
all were thoroughly educated in
English, but it was stipulated by
the management that they must
talk only in their native tongue,
and when they got on their war
togs they lookod savage enough,
indeed.
Among the company was Will
Lahadie, well known in Galena,
and one evening he was standing
in the coridor of an eastern hotel,
dressed in his chief's robes and
looking every iuch the savage man
of fiction, when he was approached
by an elegantly gowned lady, and
the following conversation ensued :
“How ?”
“Ugh.”
‘‘You big chief in your coun
try ?”
“Ugh.”
“You go to Washington to see
groat White Father ?”
“Ugh.”
“You no speak English ?”
“No, madam. I regret to say I
do not understand the English
language.”
The poor woman was greatly
surprised and embarrassed, but
perhaps net so much as a bevy of
girls on a later occasion.
In almost every town some of
the audience would remain be
hind to get a better view of the
awful savages. One night Lahadie
had taken his seat iu the orchestra
box afte * the show aud four or five
young ladies who were standing
near commenced to comment on
his personal appearance. “How
would you like to kiss him ?”
said one. “Oh, let’s all do, just
to see how it would feel to kiss a
real Indian,” said another, where
upon Labadie turned calmly to
them and said:
“Ladies, nothing would afford
me more pleasure than to give
you a practical illustration of the
osculatorv accomplishments of
the red man.”
There was a chorus of little
screams, a swish of skirts and the
theater was empty. —St. Louis
