DAILY MARKET QUOTATIONS
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
! Every reader of the daily and the up
| to-date weekly newspapers is accustomed
I to seeing in every issue of such a paper
! one or more columns of market reports,
; or quotations of the prevailing prices of
| staple commercial commodities. In all
I the papers published in the cotton states
I the "cotton market” occupies a promi
; nent. if not the first, place in these re
ports. The farmer who grows tin cot
ton, tite man who buys and sells cotton,
nearly every business man—indeed, nearly
i verybod.v is interested in the price of
cotton. Not only is the local market
quoted, but also that of every important
city in the United States, es well as that
of bivrpool. I'ollow.ng the cotton mai
ket reports come the stocks quotations,
j railroad shares, money and bonds; then
the market prices of corn, oats, wheat,
flour, bacon, lard, live stock, and even
; chickens and eggs, feath rs, hides and
skins, fisl., butter, naval stores find a
regular place in these market reports.
Hus it never occurred to the farmer to
ask why commercial fertilizers, and es
pecially fertilizer ingredients, are not
i also properly classified and included in
those daily and w-ekly reports?
I li vc given the subject some thought.
: .bn;: have never instituted any invostiga
' tion to find out why it is not done It
Is not probable that manufacturers of
■ fertilizers and dealers therein have delib
erately adopted or approved a policy of ;
silence in this mater. In may bo that the
fertilizer trade, being yet liarely more
than a generation old. has not yet de- j
manded recognition in the marts of trade. '
The l.u.'int-. has grown up from such
comparatively small beginnings that i:s
. present ini;s-rt:inee lia- stolen upon tho
• country almost unawares.
Yet the cottoq seed products—oil, meal
and hulls, rep;esenting even n younger
' and perhaps i s. importanii position in
j trade—are quoted daily.
. The importance ol .' daily report of
i prices of standard fertilizer ingredients '
Is pcrhajis already recognized by many (
persons who are engaged in handling
cse ingredients, and would almost e r
i talnly be at once recognized and appreci
ated by thou.-;, nd. of farmers who buy
‘ and use them. The trade in fertilizers
has grown to very large proportion:', in
deed. and in the opinion of those whose
judgment Is entitled to weight the manu
faeture and sale of fertilizers will never
I>e less In magnitude and importance than
they are now. It is a business that
touches th. farmer almost universally.
The cost of commercial fertilizers has
emne to be a very Important item in the
expense account of a majority of
fanners, especially those who grow cot-
■ ton, tobacco, sugar cane and wheat.
i In this regard the well informed farmer
i docs not care to know what the ' ND—
i I’Q Co.'s Cotton Compound." or "Bone
i and Muscle’s Wheat Grower." or any
other proprietary brand of goods is quoted
at in Atlanta. Augusta, Charleston. Jack
sonville, Montgomery, etc. What he does
want to know, or should want t.» know,
' is what phosphoric acid, potash and ni
. trogen, in recognized n.vall.-ible forms, are
worth, spot cash, in carload lots, or less
titan carload lots. Freights are not sub
. ject to much variation and may be easily
•.sumated. The inslstance should be es
pecially strong that the ingredients con
taining singie vain ib’.e plant food ele
ments should be quoted.
Fur in ; ance, tlie farmer (and the local
• dealer as well) wants to know lite mar
ket price per ton (or per unit) of acid
. phosphate; the price of potash in the
I form of muriate of potash; the price of
; nitrogen In the form of dried blood, ni
| tra'.e of soda, etc., in every case stating
I the percentage, or units, of valuable ele-
I ments.
i It would not be a difficult matter to
I give quotations on what i-s known as a
; "complete fertilizer"— commonly called
i "guano,’’—always basing the quoted
I prices on guaranteed analysis. It would
i be easy enough to quote 8:2:2 guano
; at so much a ton. In carload lots; and
j 10 : 3 : 2. so much, and so on. A farm
i er then, or a dealer, knowing the price
i of. say, an 8 ; 2 : 2 guano and the
i prices of available phosphoric acid in acid
| phosphate and of potash in muriate of
; potash and in kainlt and the prices of
nitrogen In its various forms, can decide
: whether it would be better to buy the
. manipulated guano, or buy the separate
j ingredients arid mix them himself. Of
' nentimes it would be found better to buy
I the ready-made goods, but there are many
farmers who will prefer to buy separate
ly and mix according to his own notion.
It does seem clear that no reputable
manufacturer, certainly no dealer in such
goods, may consistently object to such
market quotations.

-1 tural press? And what say the readers

ELEVEN CENTS COTTON.
Today (November 14) cotton brought
II cents a pound for middlings in At
lanta. Griffin and most of the markets
I in the interior and I! 1-2 cents in New
York! Isn’t that a good thing for the
farthers w*o ’save not yet parted with
their crops? There seems to be indeed
a short supply and the speculators and
cotton mills are bidding against each
other for the staple, and there’s no tell
ing where the price will go. Maybe 12.
13 even 15 cents. One editor throws
up his hat and hails, as if in sight, 3
pounds to the dollar. But maybe it will
go up for a while and then recede to 10
or even 8 cents. I heard a cotton mill
man say the ofher day that "10 cents is
a mighty good price for cotton." It may
be to him, and I I cents is still better—
especially if the mill man has it to pay—
but particularly to the farmer who sells
it. I congratulate the farmers who have
"borne the burden and heat of the day”

for ton years past. Many thousands of
i them have not cleared a cent a. pound on
I cotton, over and above the cost of pro
i duction and marketing, in ten years or
more Many other and perhaps even
more thousands have not for ten years
received enough in the aggregate to pay
the cost of production. It is getting to
be a "red letter day" in the experience
of the "horny-handed sons of toil," only
the tdty of it is so many have sold prac
ticaTT,' ”! oT their crop at 8 or 9 cents a
pound. As I said some weeks ago the
farmers are entitled to 10 cents a pound
tor their cotton for ten years "hand run-
I ning” in order to make up for losses in
J the past decade. Ten cents, nor 11, nor
yet 12 cents a pound is going to make
! any farmer rich in one or two years,
j Thousands will make (their tens and
■ hundreds of thousands by the recent rise
| in cotion. but even tho farmer, t bo has
| so far withheld his crop from the mar
: ket will only "come into his own" when
i he pockets the proceeds of sale at 8
; pounds for a dollar. Os course, we are
i al! sorry for the manufacturer who must
t risk his money on I I cents cotton. That
■ Is, we are sorry some, and wish him
! better luck In future and remunerative
prices for manufactured goods. He lias
' been having a good time for several
: years past, getting cotton for 7 or 8
| cents, or less, and selling .he manufac
tured goods at prices that have yielded
big profits. The development of foreign
markets for cotton goods, the Improve
ments in machinery for making these
good has borne their proper and legiti
mate fruits in the greater demand for
raw cotton, competition among buyers,
better prices to the farmer.
But there Is a little shadow over the
radiant picture. Tho good prices now
prevailing arc not due alone to the in
creased demand for consumption, but.
must be largely ( barged to the fact t.«at
the crop now produced and nearly count
ed into the channels of trade is shorter i
than was hoped arid expected. This
means that a great many farmers have
made very poor crops; for it takes a
great many individually poor yields to
' result in a million or two bales bi the
way of shortage of the crop. Tho farmer
who makes only five bales to the plow
and gets 10 cents a pound for it is but
little better off than the farmer who
produces (with the same outlay) ten
bales to the plow ma gets 5 cents a
I pound for It. Th" poorer crop is taxt-q I
j with the cost of picking and ginning and i
I bagging and ties of only five bah s| ’
i against ten to the plow. And there are I
i a great many who have not made ovr>. I :
| live bales to the plow, and not a few |
j who riavc made even less!
; 1 repi.’t Che caution expressed a while , '
i back, wtien cotton first touched IC cents ; '
i ami then i"boun<o(i to 9 and les:; per !

slightly do in drying out. This makes
a high, slender stack, its weight resting
upon a solid foundation, the pole only
acting as a side support in case of wind,
and which is far more effective titan if
■the vines were stilted upon the pole by
means of cross pieces nailed thereon.
The open pen allows admission of air
to under part of stack, which ventilates
through, drying out all dampness and
greenness in a few days, the vines never
heating. In stacking the vines green
every leaf adheres, lying flat and form
ing a slinglellke surface to the stack,
keeping out all rain, no matter how hard.
Os course, the hay should be allowed
to remain in the stack no longer than
when ihoroug’tly cured, but it is safe
till then, and. oh, so much lighter haul
ing and handling to the house racks
than when green.
If a man wishes io bale his hay and
has a press on rollers, he may do so
from stack to stack without hauling,
finding a bale or more in each stack, or If
be wishes to haul loose to shelter the
method is to reach up. take off the cap,
count the stack nn( ] pnll out the pole,
after which the hay may be taken off
in layers as nut on and with very little
shattering oT loaves. Then if he !s

stood fiivt one timr ami third one time; .
cotton meal first one time and thirl two ‘
times, tjn the average the (Tiler of effec- I
tlvEnc.--.-t was dried blood—nitrate of soda—
cotton meal.
But th., difference in the cost «>f the :
tiir“i’ formulas makes a change in the ;
showing, an,l the order of economic
tivene s. as follows, according to the cost ■
of the iner. as"d yield of corn ;>■ r bushel: :
Cotton meal plots, cost of increas’d yield ■
43 cents per bushel; nitrate Os soda plots, ■
50 cents per ii ehcl; dried blood plots. 51 ‘
cents Dtir bushel.
<>f course the very low yields of the '
year 1899 bring down the average yield
and carry up the cost per bushel of the
increases. For instance, the increased
yield (average) in 1900 cost 34 cents per
bushel.
Conclusions—l. Dried blood is evidently
more effective than either nitrate of soda i
or cotton meal, but the difference is :
small.
2. F it the greater proportional cost of
nitrog. ii in the form f dried blood makj’s ,
it lc a profitable thav cither of the I
others.
: 3. On the whole, cotton meal at. same i
relative prices as those given above is
the chi’ai;' st source of nitrogen for a cora ;
crop. It produced its relatively largest ;
yield in 1899-a very hot. dry seasoti.

; uplttn I corn liberally with concentrated

I Note.- li'he opinion, often expressed, that ■
; nitrab of soda when applied before plant
ing a crop, or all at the time of planting,
is liable to be leacheii out and carried
awi'.j- in the drainage water, is not
sustained by the resul t of these three
■ experiments. In each case the nitrate

KNUCKLING OF COLT’S FOOT.
J. S. B. 8.. Eutaw, Ala.-I have a fine I
colt 7 months old with fore feet tucked
back aider; one foot badly. Seems to bo
caused by peck being too short to reach
the ground without spreading fore legs.
i Pleast tell me w!,/t to do for tier. Some
say . >• her and some say stop her
from grazing. 1 inclose stamped envelope.
Please give me your advico and very
much oblige.
Answer - The trouble is called knuck
ling and Is not uncommon In young foals,
but It usually Is of short duration, tho
ankle:- soot straighten up without treat
ment. in this case of yours I fear you
will find It difficult to manage. Mix 2
drams of cantharides with 1(4 ounces of
lard (blister oit r ment) Rub on around the
joint. Lot it st.-i twenty-four hours, then
wash off and g -ease with lard. Repeat
the ointment every second week for sev
eral months.
PARAPLEGIA OF COW.
W. L. J., Plows! ire, Ga.—My father s
cow Is atlliet.-d wit;; some unknown trou
ble. it is with diffi iilty that she walks.
She prefers to li. ci' izti most of the time.
She acts as though she were strain
halted. She drags her hind feet while
walking. Her hind legs pop when she
starts to walk. She can get up easily
when down, but It Is with difficulty that
she starts to walking. The trouble has
been coming- on gr; dually for a long
time. Her right hind leg is affected
mostly, but loft hind leg is affected some.
She trembles when starting to walking.
It Is with difficulty taat she raises her
tail, and only a little then. She can not
switch It. at all. She cats heartily. Her
calf is 5 weeks old, Her flow of milk
has diminished 50 per eent since she got
so bad. She is in thin order, and has
been hard to keep up ever since this
trouble has boon coming on. After get
ting up she must ba k on her hind
feet before she can start off. Ts you
can ascertain from wiiat 1 have writ
ten what is the disease please write
me n, also tell me what to do for
her.
Answer—ln describing the symptoms,
you omit a very important point, viz:
you do not say whether or not she is
with calf. It is not a very unusual oc
currence for a cow to lose the control of
her hind parts, more r less, a month
or so before calving. In such casfs M as a
rule, the animal recox is after calving
without treatment. Bu sometimes the
paralysis (for that is wiiat it is) occurs
after calving and sometimes without any
reference to calving, the cause being
due to a blow on the Tine, a fall, or
| other violent cause. If her bowels tire
1 not free and open, give Iter I pound Ep
| som salts, (4 pound o' common salt.

BREAKING LAND.
T. W. Spruill, Monticello, N. C.--T have
•i snt.-li from which contains the follow
ing kinds of soil: First, a medium dark,
.•lift soil which is tour or five inches
deep and whose subsoil is a close clay
and varies from a whitish to a red color,
but mostly red. Second, a light sandy
soil from four to five or six inches in
depth containing a red sandy subsoil and
third, a dark pond land whose sol] is
from five to ten inches deep and con
taining a reddish broxvn subsoil, which Is
also sand.
The rule with farmers in this neighbor
hood is to break the land' not more than
four or five inches deep or about to t/ie
subsoil if it be closer to the surface than
this. They argue that it will ruin the land
If you should break up the subsoil or
mix It with the soil. I should like to
konw if it would not be better to break
the land a little deper each year in order
to make a deeper soil. Os course at the
same time manure the land to help im
prove it. XV ill you please state whether
my idea is correct and when would be
the best time to break it; also If it should
be broken with a turn plow?
Answer—The dark, stiff soil should bo
broken not less than five inches deep, or
deep enough to bring up about one inch
in depth of the subsoil, using a two
horse turn plow, Or a disc plow. T*fls I
would do before Christmas if practica
ble. commencing about November I. Each
year go about one inch deeper. Yes, you

given the advice to ge deeper every year
until eight Or ten inches are reached.
But there should be adopted a regular
system of rotation, at le ist a three
years' shift—corn and peas, oats ard
peas, cotton. Fertilize tho corn moderate
ly, the oats and peas and cotton liberal
ly. I would not plow the light sandy soil
deep enough to bring up the “red sandy

vegetable, matter to turn under I would
not care to break it until February or
