1915, max, 8 the following report to
the Board of Directors Of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange:
LOUISIANA.
Fifty-one letters from thirty-One
Parishes, report an increase in acreage
of four per cent. The weather has
been cool, hut on the whole very
favorable. The crop is q 'out as early
as last year, and the stand very good.
Labor Is about the same in rumber,
but more efficient than in former years,
and the present condition Of the crop
is very favorable No commercial
fertilizers in use Considerable
increase in acreage Of corn and small
grain.
We have received forty-seven let
tiers from twenty six Counties, giving
an increase in the area planted In
Cotton of three per cent. Weather
generally reported as favorable, more
So than last year. Most correspond
ents represent the stand as good ;
the exception attributed to cold Spring
of which there is general complaint,
Notwithstanding which the crop is
said to he earlier by week or ten
days than last year. Labor invarla,
bly, reported es more efficient with
no noticeable change in numbers. No
fertilizers (commerciaD used in this
State. Nearly all of our correspond
ents report an increase in the acreage
planted in corn and small grains over
last year.
ARKANSAS
Our reports cover twenty-five
counties, and show an in'r ase o
acreage for the State Of about 3 pei
cent. The weather has been rs ruiz
more favorable for planting than last
wear. and the lands have been very
well prepared. Owing however to :
cold spell at the beginning of thi
month, the plan, is very small. bu
the stand being good and the field
clear of grass. the prospects are NOR,
favorable than last year. No Fertil

HOW TO BURN COAL.

A very common mistake is made
and much fuel wasted in the manner
of replenishing coal fires, both in fur
naces and CRATES. They should be fed
with little coal at time, and often !;
but servants, to save time and trouble,
put on a great deal at once, the first re-
suit being that almost all the heat is
absorbed by the newly put-on coal
which does not give out heat until it
has itself become red hot. Hence, for
a while, the room is cold; but when it
becomes fairly aglow, the heat is insult
ferable.
The time to replenish coal fire is as
soon as the Goals begin to show ashes
on their surface; then put on merely
enough to show layer of black coal
covering the red. This will soon kim
die, and a. there is not much of it, an
excess of heat will not be given out.
Many almost put out the fire by stir.
ring the CRATE rs soon as fresh coal is
put on, thus leaving all the heat in the
ashes, when it should be sent to the
new supply of coal. The time to stir
the fire Is just when the new coal laid
on Is pretty we'll kindled. This method
of managing coal fire is troublesome,
but it saves fuel, gives more uniform
heat, and prevents the discomfort al
formations of heat and cold above re-
ferred to- Halls Journal of Health.

Wool in New York.

The difficulties in the way of trans
portation of merchandise consequent
upon the ice blockade, though in some
cases partially overcome, are still suffi-
cient to have some influence upon the
demand, and this with many of the
mills unable, as yet to obtain steady
supply of water, keeps business in q
comparatively dull state. A few more
buyers have appeared within day or
two, but they evince no greater ankle
ty than usual, and the general disposi-
ton is still apparently to adhere close
ly to.the 'hand-to-mOuth' policy, and
take nothing beyond what they are
pretty sure to consume at an early day.
On the entire range of quotations no
important alterations can be made, and
the position is to certain extent,
steady. yet the seller cannot claim
much if any advantage, and there is
evidence that an inclination to pur-
chase with greater freedom would be
met on comparatively easy basis.
Good, prime selections of Fleeces, fine
pulled and combing stock, and the best
selections of California, are the best
sustained. For California of common
grade continues unsettled, and occa-
sionally some of the poorer classes are
run out at very low figures by holders
who have become disgusted with car
rying. Foreign clothing Woods steady,
but not very active. Carpet Woods
dull, though mostly held at former
rates. The agitation of the duty ques-
tion does not appear to have much in
fuence upon foreign Wools, except to
increase the Withdrawals from bond.

SCRIBNERs for March. Some one in New
York writes as follows of Scribner for March:
81 suppose that after this March number Of
Major Powell's Colorado papers is publised the
public will wake up to the extraordinary in
terest in the series, both in story and illustra-
tion, and will be looking up the back numbers.
A more splendid feat has seldom been describ-
ed SO modestly and well, by the hero himself.
In fact the public seems to be looking up the
back numbers of this volume of Scribner al
ready, for the publishers are reprinting some,
and expect to be compelled to reprint all the
issues since the beginning of the volume in
November" DR.. Hollands Story of Seven
oaks may have something to do with this un-
usual demand. This reaches its third install
ment in the March number, and the william of
the play is taken from the quiet of Sevenoaks
to the more turbid and congenial atmosphere
of the metropolis, where it seems likely that
he will run course not altogether unprece-
dented in the history of successful vulgar
isms.' The most noticeable features in the
Editorial departments are Dr. Hollands papers
on Criticism and Preaching; summing up Of
the Sex in Education controversy, and
new departure in the 'Etchings department.
which is much longer and more varied than
ever before.

Ii u LIE r..

Our Bridgeport correspondent writes about
Butler in the following words:
We ask permission to throw up our hat and
cheer one round for our favorite in Congress,
BENZ. F. Butler, who in our judgment
stands without peer in the American Congress
to-day. With as much honesty as the best of
his fellows, he has more brains than any of
them. In our judgment Genl. Butler could
rent out score of intellectual farms and have
several plantations left-Hurrah for Ben But
Ter! The following tribute is from the able
and facile pen of one of the best informed
men in the country and one who has hitherto
dealt Butler the bitterest invective. But the
towering strength and overwhelming pressure
of Bens matchless power has forced from his
former foe the following tribute. If any one
don't endorse it, why there is another way
from the dilemma But we shout for the true
man Ben. I'd rather vote for him than any
man in America:
'With all his unpopularity, Genl. Butler is
fortunate man. We cannot anticipate the
verdict of history by piling it upon our antag-
onists in advance, as if our prejudices were
the spirit of that verdict Butler is fortunate
in his opportunity. At the Baltimore conven-
ton of 1860, he rebuked the rampant spirit
which advocated the re-opening of the slave
trade
''1 will not sit in body where man even
advocates piracy he cried boldly. At the
outbreak of the war, whether by trick or
sagacity, he opened the Annapolis route to the
capitol and made the plug -uglies of Baltimore
keep the peace.
"At Fortress Monroe he indicated the great
strategic position of the war, the Peninsula
Route, the open James River and the naval
rendezvous. By hanging one man at New
Orleans he anticipated hundred riots. By

CHAppEp hands and skin cracks are

CHAPPED hands and skin cracks are
unnecessary even in the coolest wealth
er if proper care is observed. Most of
the so-called toilet soaps are cuastic, or
full of lye, and act very injuriously
upon the skin. Genuine CASTLE soap
is almost wholly neutral, and is the
best for washing with. By rinsing
the hands entirely free from every
trace of soap, and wiping them thor
oughly before going out chaps may be
avoided; and any that do appear can
be cured by rubbing the affected parts
with cold cream, or, what is the same
thing, common lard, before retiring.
