.. Q( i STION.—Please advise mo about
composting. For several years I have
composted my stable manure with cot- |
tonseed, chemicals, rich earth, etc., but )
it is a heavy job and requires so much |
extra work in handling that I have been j
debating in my own mind whether some !
other plan would not pay better, lie- i
eently my attention has been called to
articles in agricultural journals on this
lubject, in which the writers say this
plan will soon become a thing of the
past. Do you agree with this view, or ;
what would you advise?
Answer.—It is not advisable to ban- |
die a heavy article like manure any more
Uian is absolutely necessary, and where
it is possible to haul the manure directly
to the land, we have found that it pays
better than the more costly plan of com
posting. But often the hauling cannot
be done, when in the busy season every
mule and farm hand is engaged in the
different crops. Under Inch circum
stances, rather than allow the manure
to accumulate in the stables, to the man
ifest injury of the animals, or to waste
it by throwing it in loose piles in the
stable yards, we would select wet days,
when it is not possible to work in the
fields, and put the manure in compact
eoinpo.it heaps, when its valuable con
stituents will be bold until such time as
we can utilize them. Where a farmer
has a large number of cattle, which ho
is feeding for market, which practice
is becoming quite extended since cotton-
*< ed meal and hulls afford such a cheap
and certain means of fattening beeves,
it is a good plan, except in severe
weather, to pen tlm cattle directly on
the land to bo improved. Near Atlanta
there are 25 acres of most magnificent
oats, sown the last of May, nearly ready
for cutting; which are a striking and
wonderful object lesson as to the wis
dom of this policy. The manure from
feeding the hulls and meal contains ele
ments of fertility in the highest
What Should Farmers Do to Raise
Cotton at a l’roilt?
Question.—I have seen the unjust
criticisms which have been spread
abroad in regard to the experiment car-
; ried on at tlie Georgia Experiment Sta-
I tion as to the cost of raising cotton. I
; remember the manner in which your
! words were at the time perverted, and
j also the effort which has all along been
; made to get political capital out of
I what was really a most sound pioce of
advice to farmers. This was six years
ago, and if this advice bad been gener
ally heeded much of the subsequent
hardship consequent on the low price of
cotton would have been avoided—in
deed I, with many others, believe that
the price of cotton would have been
| maintained at a reasonable figure, be-
i cause, under your system, it would have
been impossible to so overcrowd the
markets as to make our staple crop al
most valueless, as it has been, except to
cotton buyers and speculators, the
farmer not being “in it.” Reviewing
the past six years, and all that has been
said, pro and con, as to the low price of
cotton, cost of production, etc., what is
your present opinion as to how we shall
meet and combat conditions, which so
far havo proven too much for us?
Answer.—My position on this ques
tion is the same today that it was six
years ago, namely, that when a farmer
has made ample arrangements to raise a
full supply of bread and meat for his
family and food for his cattle, mules
and other farm stock, then ho is at lib
erty, and not until then, to cultivate in
cotton all the land which he can suc
cessfully manage. And just here I
would emphasize the fact that at pres
ent low prices no cotton crop can bo a
success where it takes o acres of land to
jnake one bale of cotton. We must, by
a system of terracing, to hold the fer
tility of our lands, by deep plowing to
hold the moisture and to utilize hereto
fore unsuspected elements of plant food,
by planting renovating crops, by rota
tion and by manuring, intelligently
managed, change the results from acres
to the bale to bales to the acre. I am
aware that many, who have not studied
this question, will maintain that this
system is not justified by the ex
tremely low prices which have
ruled during the past season, but
it is just here that the mistake
comes in. If by this careful and judi
cious management the yield can bo
doubled or trebled, I am satisfied, from

a. m—The fight in and before the vi-

the greater part of yesterday, from
7:45 until nearly 11 o’clock.
Ten of the American warships
maintained a steady and carefully di
rected tire against El Morro castle and
the batteries at Punta Gorda, Socapa
and Cincoreales, in addition to bom
barding the Spanish fleet in the har
bor. The per centage of effective pro
jectiles was very large.
It appears, from the best informa
tion obtainable at this place, the cable
station connecting with Santiago de
Cuba, that immense damage was in
flicted on the enemy.
The Spaniards admit that the bom
bardment from the American fleet was
most destructive.

tire from the Spanish forts and ships
was scarcely felt at all by the Ameri
cans.
The fortifications near the entrance
of the harbor are described as being
riddled with solid shot and shattered
by tee explosion ot the .immense shells
tired by the American battleships.
The Spanish batteries are under
stood to have been virtually silenced
and El Morro and the fortifications at
Socapa and Punta Gorda are reported
to have been demolished by the three
hours’ uninterrupted hammering of the
American fleet.
The American attack is next said to
have been specially directed against
Aguadores, a small coast town a little
to the east of the entrance of Santi
ago bay.
The idea of the American admiral,
it appiars, was to land troops and
siege guns there, after reducing the de-
feuses of the place, and thence make a
close assau't upon Santiago, which, in
view of the present conditions of its
fortifications, may be expected to yield

at their original stations and firing
steadily.
Tiie squadrons were so close in shore
that.it was difficult tor the American
gunners to reach the batteries on the
hilltops, but their firing was excel

Previous to tiie bombardment,orders
were issued to prevent firing on .Mono

been informed that Lieutenant Hobson

are confined there. In spite of this,
however, Several stray shots damaged
Morro castle somewhat.
Commodore Schley’s line moved
closer iif shore, tiring at shorter
range.
The Brooklyn and Texas caused
havoc among the Spanish shore bat
teries, quickly silencing them. While
the larger ships were engaging the
heavy batteries, the Suwanee and
Vixen closed with tiie small inshore
battery, opposite them, raining rapid
fire shots upon it and quickly placing
the battery out of the fight.
The Brooklyn closed to 800 yards,
and then the destruction caused by her
guns and those of tiie Marblehead and
Texas was really awful. In a few
minutes tiie woodwork 0. Estrella tori
was burning and the battery was si
lenced, firing no more during the en

Eastward, the New York and New

quick order, and then shelled the earth
works, located higher up.
Later, the practice was not so ac-
urate, owing to the elevation of the
guns. Many of rhe shells however,
