A Canning Factory.
Mr. J. R. Calhoun, who seems
to know what lie is talking a-
bout, furnishes the Macon Tele
graph of yesterday the follow
ing facts and figures about the
Canning Factory Industry:
As my article on the canning
industry has awakened such in-
terest and your people solicit
further information, I shall en
deavor to be more explicit and
give figures. I herewith snbmit
estimate of cost of outfit and ne
cessary articles of machinery for
canning 2,000 3 lb., or 2,750 2 lb.
cans, per day. To be used in
connection with steam or set in
brick. 1 process kettle, 1 ex
haust kettle, 2 fire-pots, 1 crane
fixture, 4 sets grate burs, 3
furnace doors, 2 capping ma
chines, 2 capping coppers, 2
tipping coppers, 2 scaldiug bas
kets, 1 forging handle, 2 process
cages, 2 exhaust cages, 1 scalding
kettle, 1 forging stake, 1 vise, 1
forging hammer, 2 files, 2 pair
can tongs.
This outfit can be purchased
in Baltimore for $150 F. O. B.
The purchaser can by instruc
tions sent with outfit put up and
operate it without the aid of skill
ed help. It would require fif
teen hands to successfully ope
rate it as follows: One processor,
1 capper, 1 tipper, 12 peelers and
packers. The latter could be
done by women, boys and girls.
In Maryland, processors, cappers
and tippers receive from $2.00 to
$2.50 per day, peelers and pack
ers $1.00 per day, but often farm
ers do their own processing,
which could be done in this case.
Thus the farmer could supervise
over the capper and tipper. The
labor beingsimple, it could be bad
for $1.00 per dat. Thus the la
bor necessary for packing the
above number of cans would con
sist of 1
A farmer a few days ago made
a good suggestion about the
proper use of fertilizers, sod
as ho is a successful planter it is
worth giving for the benefit of
others. “I find,” said the farmer,
“that a great deal of money is
wasted by a too lavish use of fer
tilizers when the crop is planted.
If you want to fatten a pig you
do not give him all the food at
once, simply because it will be
wasted and destroyed before it
can be eaten up by the pig. So it
is with food for the plant. Put on
part of your fertilizer whon you
plant your crop, then every time
you work it, add a little more.
If a drouth comes, and you find
it will not be needed, you save
that much. It frequently hap
pens that a crop is injured more
than it is benefited by the im
proper use of fertilizers. Then
again by putting the fertilizer
on later in the season you get
more benefits when * the crop is
maturing and fruiting.” Apparent
ly there is good sense in the sug
gestion.—Atlanta Constitution.

Georgia Grain Prodnet for 1889.
The department of agricultural at
V' ttshington makes the following re
port of grain crops of Georgia tor
the year.
Corn (bushels).., 83,730,000
Ao-es devoted to crop 3,011,602
Value $18,551,468
1 processor (farmer himself)
1 capper and tipper $1 each
12 hands (peelers and packers)
$ 2 50
2 00
COO
$10 50
Total
We will now figure the cost of
raw' material, cans, cases, labels
etc., required for packing 2,000
3-pound cans per day.
Tomatoes will be taken for ex
ample. One hundred bushels
will be required to fill these 2,000
three-pound cans and thus we
have:
One hundred bushels tomatoes at 20
cents per bushel $20 00
Two thousand nans 45 00
Labor (in packing) 10 50
Labels, .-older, etc.. 4 00
Cases (containing twenty-four caus
to car-e) 7 ®2
Total $57 42
Now $87.42 is what it cost to
pack 2,000 three-pound caus, of
tomatoes per day, (labor and ma
terial). This includes pay for
the farmer at $2 50 per day alse
the $20.00 is included for the raw
material. We now market these
2,000 can, consisting ot eighty-
three cases and receive $1.05 per
case, the present market prico.
Thus we have $136.95, or a profit
of $40.53, a pretty good showing
for one day’s work. Where one
has wood or coal to buy it would
reduce these figures. Rut a prof
it of $40 per day can bo counted
on even where one lias to furn
ish all the labor and buy his raw
material, wood and coal. It
advise farmers to plant their own
crop and not depend entirely on
their neighbors for a supply.
They can realize a profit on the
product in two ways.
Oats (bushels) 6,874,000
Acres devoted to crop 624,874
Value $ 3,436,807
Wheat (bushels) 2,502,000
Acres 378,197
Value 2,334,988
The total yield of these three crops
in the L T nited States for 1889, is esti
mated us follows:
Corn (bushels) 2,112,892,000
Oats... 751,515,000
Wheat . 490,560,000
The Southern Alliance Farmer
says: • • •
•‘The venal • methods which are
showing up.in the opposition to the
sub treasury bill, are absontlely dis
gusting. A majority of the papers
which oppose the bill, Intentionally
ami maliciously, refuse to acknowl
edge that there , is a national order
in the United States known ns the
National Farmers’ Alliance and Indus
trial Union, and that the bill with all
of its promises of good to the peo
gle emenated from this source. The
sub-treasury plan proposes to give us
a place where non-perishable farm
products can be stored and 80 per.
cent of their value advanced upon
them for a term of not more than one
year. This will simply enable the
farmers to be independent of specu
lators and monopolists and put them
in a position to obtain such a price
as the legitimate demand will war-
lant. Is there anything wrong in
that? If there is somebody please
show it to us and point out a better
plan.’’
The good effects of manure in con
tact with the seed often far exceed
the presumable advantages from
the manure itself. In other words,
a little rich food ut the begin
ning of the growth ot the plant
promotes its vigor and enables it to
forage more vigorously in other parts
of the soil. Concentrated manure
also makes soluble some of the fertili
ty locked up the soil which it touch-
