of Production. .
Editor Tbe Caucasian: Will you
allow me space In your valuable paper
to say a few words that tbe public
msy have my views of tbe condition
of things. Under this Democratic
good government I find that cotton
has fallen under tbe eost of produc
tion. The Democratic party said that
Republican high tariff was tbe cause
of high cost of living, and I say un
der the Republican government I
could buy two packages of coffee for
35 cents for which I now have to pay
60 cents. Sugar is nine cents per
pound; the farmer's produce Is com
ing down and what tbe merchant has
Five hundred persons in London,! to sell Is going up. If that ia Demo
cratic good government, I don't want
any more of It. I am for high pro
tective tariff. My adrice is for every
farmer and laborer to vote the Re
publican ticket next fall and, change
this high cost of living and ow price
of cotton. H. A. BLACK.

Fresh horse manure S.7 1.9
Now let ua see how much plant
food this growth would add to our
ten-acre field. Twenty tons would
add to one acre 220 pounds of nitro
gen; 56 pounds of phosphate and 229
pounds of potash. We have only to
multiply these figures by ten to get
the plant food added to the ten-acre
field. Should the farmerette able
which is hardly probable) to cut this
mass of vines to pieces with his sharp
disk and plow .them under he would
add to the soil of bis ten-acre field
220 pounds of nitrogen and render
available 560 pounds of phosphate
and 2,290 pounds of potash.
This, you will note, is as much ni
trogen as you can get from about
290 tons of fresh cow manure, or 55

amount of green manure is equal to
