capital, with weekly payments of

installment plan and are in sue
cessfnl opeiutiou show.ng that th
plan suggested is no new untried
scheme, but a successful and
practical plan, whereby the peo¬
ple of Conyers can, with a little
effort, build and operate a cotton
factory for themselves. If a cot¬
ton miil is built on this plan, the
result will be not only a manu¬
facturing plant for our town, but
at the, same time a savings insti¬
tution has bean worked out in the
manner of raising the money to
build the mill with.
7is soon as tire requisite num¬
ber of shares of stock are sub¬
scribed for, due notice is given
and the stockholders then meet
and organize the company by
adopting a constitution, by-laws
and a set of rules and regulations,
■and electing the officers and a
.board of directors After this is
done the first weekly payment is
made, and rogularly and each
week thoreaftei, until the stock,
of $100 00 par value, is paid up,
which will mature iu a little less
than four years. On a capita!
stock of fifty thousand dollars,
(600 shares) payable 50 cents per
week per share, there would be
paid into the company $250 00
every week, $1000.00 a month or
$13,000 during each year. With
this amount of money the site
could be purchased and the build¬
ings constructed and paid for in
the first year. Inside the second
year one-half or two-thirds of the
machinery could be purchased and
put in operation. Iu three years
from the time of organization it
would be entirely feasible to have
the entire plant in operation with
Some debt, which could be pahl
off as the installments were paid
in the last year. Acapitol of tit¬
ty Thousand dollars will build a
mill of about three thousand
spindles ami one hundred looms
whicla would furnish work for
sixty-five or seventy hands.
Another feature has been intro¬
duced for the benefit of farmers
and others who are unable to pay
tbeirSubseriptions by the week or
month, vi2: Subscribers give
their notes with interest for the
amount of their subscription,
when this is done the company
has the notes to use for collateral
in case of borrowing money.
The completion of the mill may
be hastened by borrowing mouey
to complete the mill at once, and
then paying this money back as
it is paid into the treasury in in¬
stallments by the stockholders.
If this is done the company would
giw notes secured by indorse¬
ment of tie directors. The mill
can be built, however, by simply
investing the monfly as it comes
in from the members, and while
this is somewhat siow, yat when
the mill is finished and in opera
tion it is so much proyerty ahead
for the stockholders for it repre
seats money that would not have
been accumulated at all excep. ,, for
the ol ligation of the stockholders
to get together and save so much

important for the company to se¬

REMEDIES FOR "HOLLOW HORN.”
Kainit Is th© Proper Form of Potanh For
Sandy Soil*, and Muriate and Sulphate
of Potash for Stiff Soils—Some Other
Very Interesting News Which Will Be
Wurth Reading?.
Department op Agriculture,
Atlanta, March 1, 1895.
Question l.—I notice that you advise
farmers, in mixing fertilizers at home,
to avoid putting together ingredients other.
that act injuriously on each
Please home give me a few hints as a guide in
mixing.
Answer 1.—The following are some
of the main points:
Potash salts can be be mixed with all
fertilizers, but if large amounts are
mixed with some mineral manures, as
floats, the mixture may cake, if allowed
to stand too long. This can be avoided
by adding a small quantity of woods
earth, muok or sawdust when the mix¬
ture Is made, Acid phosphates should
not be mixed with lime, marl, ashes,
floats, bone meal or anything that con¬
tains carbonate of lime or caustic lime.
Ammonia salts, or organio nitrogen
compounds, as blood, tankage or fish
should not be mixed with caustio sub¬
stances, such as building lime or wood
ashes. Nor is it well, unless we wish
to hasten decomposition, to mix these
nitrogen compounds with carbonate of
lime, floats or mark If we wish to com¬
post these substances together, we
should cover the heaps with woods
earth, which will prevent the escape of
the ammonia
Aoid phosphatas can be mixed with
organic matter and are especially fitted
for preventing the loss of ammonia In
compost heaps, nnless the heaps oon
tain a large quantity of lime,when they
should not be used.
Nitrate of soda can be mixed with all
other materials, but when mixed with
highly dissolved phosphates and nit¬
rates and organic matter, the mixture
should be kept dry, or loss of nitrogen
will occur.
In composting, it is of the greatest
importance that the ammonia does not
escape. Acid phosphates, as mentioned
above, help to conserve the ammonia.
^ ol _ ^ ^
with compost are desirable only where
decomposition is to be retarded.
Nitrogen i the most costly element
of plant food and to its injudicious and |
'
extravagant use can be traced much of
the loss from the use of fertilizers. By :
planting clover and peas, which have :
tlio power of absorbing nitrogen from
the air, the expense may be much re
duced.
Phosphoric acid and potash must be
added to our soils if a full crop is ex¬
pected. It is true that they are present
iu all soils, but are insoluble, and there¬
fore unavailable. Small quantities on¬
ly are dissolved by the soil water and
plant acids.
It is best to apply both phosphorio
acid and potash some time before acrop
is planted. As there is little danger
from loashing, they should be plowed
under. Sandy and limestone soils
nearly always need potash. Clay soils
sometimes, but not always, contain a
sufficient quantity. This can only be
determined by experiment.
Kainit is the proper form of potash for
sandy soils, muriate and sulphate of
potash for stiff soils. Potash is espe¬
cially valuable for fruit3 and vegetables
of all kinds, tobacco and potatoes.
Nitrogen should he applied at the
time most needed by the plants during
the growing season as a top dressing,
otherwise it will leach out with the soil
water.
Question 2. —What is the proper
treatment for “hollow horn?”
Answer 2.—This is a mnoh misun¬
derstood subject. The old plan of bor¬
ing the horns and pouring in turpen¬
tine should not be thought of. Ex¬
amine the animal for other derange¬
ments of the system. The horn is to a
certain extent naturally hollow, and
this is no indication of disease. An ex¬
perienced cattleman says that the
tongue is the seat of the disease, and in
nine cases out of ten, when an animal
is supposed to b9 suffering from “hol¬
low horn,” if the tongue is pulled out
over the under lip it will be found to be
filled with little blaok heads and flesh
worms, which will rise above the sur¬
face. Take a dull knife and scrape
these off gently, then put on salt and
black pepper, mixed, this will bring up
the saliva, and in a few hours the trou¬
ble will be over. He says he has never
known the remedy to fail. Of course
the animal’s head must be secured to a
tree or post before it can be treated. A
great many cattle owners advocate de¬
horning, not to prevent “hollow horn,”
but to reduce the number of injuries
from goring among the herds, as well
as to the persons having charge of
them.
Question 8 — Would yon advise the
sowing of a third crop of oats at this
season, the first two plantings having
been killed by the cold weather?
Answer 3.—We answer unequivo¬
cally yes, even as late as the middle of
March. But there are several points to
be considered and met in the late Sow¬
ings, which do not apply with equal
force to the fall and earlier spring
crops. In the first place, a quickly ma¬
turing seed should be selected, the laud
should be good, the preparations and
manuring thorough, the seeding heavy.
Tho importance of each of these points
will be appreciated when we realize
that the plauts have only a short time
in which to develop, or to hunt for
food, and therefore every aid should be
given to hasten and perfect their ma¬
turity. The laud in which the former
crops were killed is, if it was well pre¬
pared, in splendid condition to reoeive
the third sowing, which, with the fer¬
tilizer, should be pnt in at onie.
Question 4.—In feeding horses, will
the results as a food, pay for ontting it
up instead of feeding it uncut ?
B. F. L., Emmerson.
Answer 4. —We are often very dire
lect in our duty to onr work animals,
and thus incur absolute loss. This is
true not only in regard to providing
proper shelter, but largely in our meth¬
ods of feeding. In the north and west
almost the universal custom is to feed
cut hay, and the small amount of labor
required is more than compensated for
by the effect upon the animal. As an
illustration of this, the experiment sta¬
tion in Utah from the tenth of August
to tho twenty-first of Deoember fed, ad
libitum, to two lots of work horses, cut
and uncut hay, reducing the lots in the
middle of the period. The result was
that in the first period the lot fed on
cut hay gained 99 pounds, and that on
the uncut 62 pounds; iu the second pe- j
riod the lot on cut hay gained 75 pounds
and that on uncut lost five pounds. At
no time in our history has the study
and adoption of proper methods been
more imperative. Let ns adopt every
detail of farm economy that husbands

STARCH FACTORIES.
Can Oar Farmers Supply the Material,
Asks l>r. Payne.
Dr. George F. Payne, our well known
state cnemist, is corresponding with
some parties who are desirous of locat
ing a starch factory in the south. Staroh
is largely used in cotton cloth manu¬
facture producing and materials. Georgia is rich in starch j
Dr. Payne is de¬
sirous of getting information and re-!
quests the farmers’ attention to the!
matter.
“1. Factories in the west and north
secure Irish potatoes at 15 cents per
bushel of 66 pounds, and at 20 cents per
bushel for sweet potatoes (66 pounds to
the bushel), giving 1 cent a bushel for
each per cent of starch found in the
mater j a [. Can Georgia farmers raise
Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes at a
profit when taken immediately in large
^.^“would Georgia^farmers like to
take stock in such a factory and pay for
their stock in potatoes?
“6. Has cassava been raised success¬
fully in Georgia to any extent, or can
it be done? It grows well in Florida.
“4. What is the lowest price at which
rice polish can be contracted for in
large, continuous supplies? Louisiana
is very desirous of securing this factory
and has offered it $5,000 a year for three
years and freedom from state and city
taxes for ten years. To offset this,
however, and Georgia has far more cotton
mills so has the adjacent states,
which will furnish a better market for
the starch.”
