Yes, but between its distant nbutments
the bridge of life has many high and awful

Tie system of farming generally
adopted 10 this section is not based
upon common sense or sound ]udg-
meut. II persisted in the country

1t is only Il question OF time. Cotton
is not king and never was, although!
the r,aiority of our people seem to 90
welded to this delusion. The price
of cotcn is not fixed at present by the
supply and demand but by specula-
tors and may 60 down at any time
contrary to all the rules Of legitimate
trade. So, a farmer in this section
devoted to the a~li-cotton craze can
make no calculation Of what bis
profits or loss may be. for it ell de-
ponds upon the gamblers OF Wall
Street and Liverpool. There IS a
surplus of cotton goods already on
the market and the actual demand
for raw cotton is very little. This
fact has been published to the farm
ing world pretty thoroughly, but
seems to have made no impression
for good. 1t is the same round year
after year, and it is actually dis,
h~earteniug to one who really desires
the solid prosperity and up-building
Of the country.
The price of cotton must necessa'
rily be very low the next season or
account of the stagnation in the trade
in cotton goods. Every farmer who
puts in a large crop of cotton now
must do it with bis eyes open anc
must not complain next November
that the price is low.
A good hand will not average more
than five bales of cotton, worth about
$40 per bale. This be about SOC
gross for each hand. The wages ano
feed of the hand will not be less than
S100. The mule, ploughs, phos
pilates, seed, and the taxes and In

70 Get Rid Of Rats.

A writer, in the Scientific Ameri-
a says: eve clean our premises Of
the detestable Notwithstanding
whitewash yellow with copperas and
covering the stone and rafters with it.
In every crevice in which a rat may
60, we put the crystals of the cop
peras and scatter in the corner of the
floor. The result was a perfect
stampede OF rails and mice. Since
that time, not a football of either
rats or mice has been heard around
the house. Every Spring a coat of
yellow-wash is given the cellar as a
purifier, as a rat exterminator, and
no typhoid, ~dysentery or fever attacks
the family. Many persons DELHI
erately attract all the rats in the
neighborhood by leaving the fruits
and vegetables uncovered in the
cellar, and, sometimes even tie soap
is left opon for their regalement.
Cover up everything eatable in the
cellar and pantry and you will 0 o
sisrve them out. These precautions,
joined 70 the services of a good cat,
will prove as good q rat extermina-
tor as the chemists can provide. We
never allow rats to be poisoned in
our dwelling; they are so apt to die
between the walls and cause much
annoyance.
