the farmer to whom you allude has . ver
made any direct test b tween a ton of
cottonseed applied to cotton, and the
commercial equivalent of the ton in < ot
tonseed meal, say 1.200 or 1,400 pounds.
? made thi experiment myself, and
the results prove eoiielusivcly that there
Is’no ‘ advantage in using tin- whole cot
tonseed ;but, on the contrary, a very
great waste of valuable oil.
The statement that every farmer ill
Buiko county that males big crops uses
his cottonseed to manure his cotton is
n loose .statement, mid do. s not amount
to anything. I l ave no doubt you will
find quite as many or mor. who. use
their cottonseed in the same way. but
who do not. Succeed. So the fact of using
cotton seed as a manure |..r < olt. n, or
tile tact that it is not used for cotton,
does not prove anything. There is
something Ise that thus, farmers do be

is poor farming A farmer who has land
so thin, or who manages so as to make

MALLORY’S MODE.
The Only Successful. Practical, Cheap j
anti Easy Way to Subsoil and to
Hold Winter Rains.
Tile world lias known but Hie one way, j
that is to turn the soil with one team.
ail I follow iu til'- same furrow with a ,
subsoil with an dher team. 1 will giv't .
tin..- objections to this mode.
!. Often wlrm the "oil is in condition to .
turn the subsoil is too dry and haul to .
I" sal'soiled with an ordinary team.
<>lt< n when Hi. soil i. in condition I" .
turn the subsoil is too wet to be sub
soiled, but by this mode you have got to I
go ahead and make a “horn or spoil a
spoon.”
3. By tills mode it ti'k' ■ two team." to
do the work and few farmers have over
■uno.
■'. By this mod'' th" land is broken ,
bioadcast find leaves a smooth surface ■
and th' winter freeze won't reach as
deep as you have subsoiled. Also, t'no i
first heavy rain will run the land together
and form a crust, which will be tough t"
pull in the spring, and a great portion of
a'q the other heavy rains will float off to
the rivers besom it will have time to ’
soak through the crust into the ground,
ther. by carrying off a great amount of
fertilizing propertie:' which is in the rain.
It is next to an impossibility to do a
job of deep plowing the old way.
New. for a successful, practical, cheap
and i asy way.
1. I se. the 12-inch double-turner point
with the medium right and loft wings,
which will form a. right and h It turner
in one. As early in the fall as practica
ble J i” off your land with the. terrace ’
or I.u a. lev i-l 2 feet apart which will i
form a ierrme and a uiti-h cvety 2 f<-i t
all >vcr the land, which will hold nil tie
wini.-." lain, and will get tin freeze as
much deeper as Is the depth of the fur- 1
raw.
2. If tli,. subsoil is too dry and hard,
wait until it rains; it' the subsoil is too •
v ■ t, wait until IL gets dry and in condi-
3. Tak,. off the 12 -inch point and wings
and put on th" subsoiler point and wings,
and put one ■ nltsoil furrow in the bottom ,
of each, of the large furrows. This will !
■break the ground from the surface to a ■
'■■' nth ol 10 to 12 inches, and the subsoil
Will pull almost as easy’ as the soil !
This will finish the fall and winter
plowing, 'i’li,-. large furrow forms a hop
per to hold the winter rains, and the stlb
soiler forms a filterer to filter the fer
tilizing' properties out of the rains and
servo's ns a. reservoir to hold winter
rains for summer droughts. It will ab- |
St.lnt'ly keep land from washing.
In in, spring your land is already laid I
off. 'J In subsoih i- has undermined tho
bed. The sunshine, air, freezes ami tain
have softened and mellowed the bi-d so
ii will plow much softer than it. would
ii’ it had been broken broadcast.
As the land is laid off 2 feet, put
tin- fertilizer In every otte r furrow and
the rows will be 4 feet wide 'The rows
<an I."' laid off wider or narrower as
desirad. 1 mention 4 feet as it is the
general custom of the country to have
cotton rows 4 feet, so tho next y ear corn '
< an bo plnnted iu each cotton row; also !
4-f'"’t rows is the full capacity of the i
■plow ) Then take tho 12-inch double- ■
turner point, the left-hand medium wing j
and tho subsoil right-hand wing and list ;
i'll the fertilizers with th' subsoil side
next to the fertilizer. This will form a !
beautiful low ’"d to plant on and high ,
subsoili'd middle to work back to the i
growing crops, and takes only two fur
rows'- i" the row T in the spring to he ready
t■■> plant.
If a, more thorough spring work Is de- j
v d. take off the gauge wheel, use the
su'osoiler and put four furrows to thn
row. Thi-. wdl form a low bed and ’
have tin' whole business stlbsoiled With j
only fo"r furrows.
This spring work can i>e done with i
any- orclimii y plow, but, of course, not as
ii p and p<> ■! ' 1! '■ ''ii wish to get j
nd of the ridges and have your land a, ,
smooth surface, u -e a disc barrow, and ;
you can harrow to your heart'a con- ,
tout.
’a- this mode, all winter turning and |
sulisoiling Is done with one I<a.ni-
i.ty this mode, all winter rains are held
on tie-, land and each row gets its own
share. |
B - tills mode the subs-Ulng is done
only ivhen the. subsoil is in condition.
By this mode the land can be prepared ,
8 " 12 inches deep ami have the rows I
laid off in less time than it would take :
ro turn it broadeiUSt 4 ,to 5 itteheis I
deep.
Ea.ll is the proper time to do this I
work, but if you tall to do it then, “It’s i
never too late to do good.” It will pay !
you and pay you well to work this mode j
until your crop is planted, It* you don’t ■

land two or three times quicker than you I
can the usi.ial way and get it done bett'.r !

Comment on Bank Statement,
i New 'York, November 14.—The New
. YOrk Financier this week says:
"The striking T< ature of the official
statement ol the New York associated
' batiks last week was the: d* -. reuse ot
$10,240,000 in loam; following a reduc
tion of $11,413,000 In H’.e previous week,
making tho tum.l uuc.rcase fur the loti
night $2i,653,500. Tho reduetiun last
wi k was probably due to liquidation of
1 speculative accounts 011 the stock cx
; change and also to some contraction of
1 loan accommodation because of the eom
j arnti*' ly low condition of bank :• -crv>"
i and Hie continued drain of money to the
I south and west for crop purposes. It
; may be noted that the total loans now
aim ut.ly $18,212,000 ibove the minimum
i of the year, whi ch was recorded on Jan-
I uary 10. The banks lost $2,913,200 net
‘ cash during the week, which amount is
' $1,312,900 below the sum which was e.-ti
: mated ux/on the traceable movements
of money This t omparatb vly slight dis
: creputtcy. howevc.', may be easily ::•■-
i counted lor by, tlie operations of the aver
-1 ago . ysiem 7T7 deposits were, decreased
$14,629,600, an amount $1,475,900 greater
; than the sum of Hie loss of 1' i.sli and
I the reduction iu loans: hence 'ho statc
i nient. fails to balance. The requir' d re
serve was diminished $3,657,400 through
’ the decreased deposits; and. deducting
j from this amount the loss of cash, leaves
i $744,200 as the increase in surplus rc
; servo, which new is $6,138,425. Cal.m
--! luted on Hi l ' basis of deposits less those
I of $36,921,700, the surplus is $15,368,850.
i 'I he loans arc hi ■ xeess of the w posits ’ey
i $36,439,900. agaii’st $32 040.800 in the
previous week, indicating, as has here
tofore been stat'd. Ill.lt the banks are
employing to the fullest extent th'ir
available loan resources, including cap
ital. It may also be interesting to note
that the cash holdings of the banks, ami
likewise their deposits, are the minimbm
‘ O' - the year, the former being $2,913,200
land the latter $14,629,600 smaller than

which arrived from Loudon and the

on Tuesday was only partly paid for at
the assay ofllee a usual with imports re-
quiring assay, and the $950,000 gold,
which arrived on Friday came too late
to be made available by the imjxorters.
These respective amounts should be ac
counted for in the current week’s state
ment. The changes in Hie item of loans
snows that live banks had a total de
crease of $9,200,000. The changes in
specie show a net loss by six banks of
$3,100,000. The traceable .movements ot’
money between batiks last week indi
cated smaller direct shipments than since
the drain of money began, and it seems
j/robable that the requirements of the
south for cotton ar.-, nearly satisfied.
There will probably be a falling oft in
the drain of money to tho west fur crop
purposes in the near future."
