The fact that one of Mon¬

yet who lie will appoint.
Capt. Milledge, the former
librarian, has held the office
for nine years and has given
satisfaction to all. Mr.
Brown is highly esteemed by
all who know him and prom¬
ises to make a good and effi¬
cient librarian.

Miss Cosio y Cisneros is a

offer of marriage from a man
said to be jvorth probably
more than that and to be “an

In his letter to the Atlanta
Journal last Saturday, Rev.
Sam Jones says:
“I am- in favor of free
schools to one class only,and
that class is the children of
parents who will come to the
court house of the county
and take tho pauper’s oath
and swear that they children’s are not
able to pay their
tuition. Then let the public
pay teachers who will teach
those children the three R’s
—reading, ‘riting and ‘rith
metic—and nothing more.”
Most people credited Mr.
Jones with having a more
charitable heart than that;
and we are glad that there
are but few men in Georgia
who will agree with him in
his shocking opinion Carter of gives free
schools. Josiah
Mr. Jones some good advice
when he advises him to “take
a pill, and catch up with the

w } iere< Hois susceptiblo to the same
influences, and, given the same oppor
tuuifcy, he will accomplish about the
same results as his fellow in the town
or city. With perhaps this to his ad¬
vantage: The farmer boy is nearer to
nature’s great heart and comes to un¬
derstand her wavs; and again, the soli¬
tude of the farm gives him opportunity
for communion with sol", if he i3 a
thinking boy, to come to better under¬
standing with himself and to know his
powers and limitations better than his
his urban prototype.
Boys everywhere need the stimulus of
self interest, and this is too often de¬
nied them on the farm. What he does
goes into the general fund, as it were,
and he does not see how much he is do¬
ing to swell it. If the farmer would

him something to do for himself, the

grow in independence and learn for
himself the lessons of failure and suc¬

work in hand, which of itself will be a
guarantee of success; without which

Question. —Will you please answer
the following questions ?
1. Have you ever tested subsoiling
land? What was the result?
2. Would you advise subsoiling laud
with a flue sandy soil about 10 inches
deep? runs together and gets hard in a
dry time. Subsoil is solid red clay.
8. Would you advise subsoilmg dark
gray and reel clay lands (solid red clay
subsoils) 12 to 10 inches deep?
4. When is the best time to subsoil,
and how otten ?
5. Are you sure that it pays to use
acid phosphate and kaiuit on light sandy
lands for corn, cotton, oats and peas?
6. Do you advise the use of acid phos¬
phate and kaiuit with cottonseed on
such land for oats to be sowed in Octo¬
ber ? There is a fair crop of pea vines
on the land
7. When acid phosphate and kaiuit
are applied broadcast at the time peas
are planted and all covered at once, is
the fertilizer immediately available?
8. Where peas follow oafs would a
liberal application of phosphate and
kaiuit to the oat crop pay as well as to
divide application between oats and
peas ?
9. Where cotton is planted after peas
would a liberal application of phosphate
ami kaiuit to peas furnish phosphoric
ucid and potash enough for cotton ?
Answer.— 1. I have tested subsoiling
land in southwest Georgia for corn and
doubled the yield. I have a friend in
Jtffersou county who, this past winter,
turned his land with a large 4-horse
plow and followed in the same furrow
with a subsoiler pulled by five horses,
breaking the stiff subsoil to a depth of
18 to 20 inches. He writes that he is
well pleased with the result, the cotton
planted on that land being ahead of
everything iu that sectiou.
2.‘ Yes.
8. Yes.
4 . Now is a good time to subsoil (Oct.
1), and any time will do through the
fall and winter when the ground is not
wet. When thoroughly done the effects
will be visible for three or four years,
and frequently longer, according to the
character of the subsoil.
5. I am sure that it pays to fertilize
all crops, if ione judiciously, and nitro¬
gen is usually needed as well as phos¬
phoric acid and potash.
6. While the pea vines will furnish
•otoe. nitrogen for the. oat crop. I would

all available (of course in the presence
of moisture) at once, and so of what is
