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.

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 mouey each week or month.

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 the strength of our farm animals, or Improves the condition of our soiL 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.” 1895 VICTOR BICYCLES:- | d it * i .’iTu/ai-|«& 1 There are eight Victor Models for ladies and gentlemen, practically any height frame furnished.
