Roberts' Improved Cotton,

Last Monday morning we had the
pleasure OF visiting the farm of Mr.. Jas.
81. Roberts, about two and one half miles
West Of the city. Mr. Roberts bought
this plantation, which contains 109 acres.
few years ngo. Every one who knew
tne place considered the land almost
worthless, as 1t was about worn out and
had humorous deep gullies running in
almost every direction. By judicious
management and liberal use of fertil.
azers, he has succeeded in getting the land
up to good state of cultivation, and to.
day has as fine crop of corn and cotton
on It as Is generally seen in this country,
was to SEQ Mr.. Roberts cotton crop.
Ihree or four years ago Mr.. Roberts and
his father were walking over one of his
cotton fields, when they noticed a fine
Staik stall with unusually large bolls on it.
They were 80 favorably impressed with
the appearance or the stalk, that they con-
cluded to keep its seed separate from the
rest. This was done, and next season
MT. Roberts planted row of considera-
Bile length with these seed. At the same
Time he planted three other popular va.
rieties III as many rows along the sido OF
II, putting In considerable fertilizer and
using the same amount under each.
when this commenced to mature, he in.
oueed several prominent farmers 70 look
at 1t. They at once noticed the difference
between his cotton and the other three
varieties, and gave 1t the name of ROB
erts' Improved" Mr.. Roberts had many
applications for the seed, and last year
sold his entire crop at from Sl.5O to So. 90
per bushel. He has twelve or fifteen
acres In this cotton this year, and good
judges say If the seasons continue favor
able he will average bale to the acre,
some Of 1t yielding bale and q half. II
is undoubtedly the best cotton we have
ever seen growing in this County. In
ono field we picked out an average stalk
and counted ninety bolls on it, besides
the squares and blooms. Nearly all the
stalks have four and five limbs almost as
large as the stalk itself. These limbs are
fruited right out to the end, aud the bolls
on an average are as large as hen oggs, the
majority of them containing live looks
each.
In one field Mr.. Roberts has made
very fair test of his seed with the Peter.
kin variety. Side by side he has planted
two rows of his cotton and two of the
Peterkin variety, putting the same
amount OF fertilizer under each and CIV
ing both the same attention. The most
careless observer can go into that field to-
day and tell at glance that Roberts I'M
proved is the best cotton. On some land
In this County we have no doubt that this
cotton would yield two bales to the acre.

Take Care of Farm Implements.

Some one once drew graphic pen
picture of a moral foe of the farmer
one who labored for his destruction
by night as well as by day, on Sunday,
holidays, and work days alike. 1t was
a "moatgage" that the writer of the
sketch wisely regarded as one of the
most active enemies to the farmers
purse and peace of mind.
There is, however, another agent for
evil quite as active, to be found on
every farm. 1t is know of rust. And
although it annually destroys in the
aggregate vast amount of property,
farmers too frequently neglect to take
the measures necessary for protection
from the ravages of his insidious foe.
Hundreds of agricuturists are buying
farm machinery, which, if properly
cared for, the Forest, Forge and Firm
suggests, ought tolast at least ten years.
Most of it will be worthless in one.tifth
of that time for lack of little care.
A machine that is taken apart and
properly cared for when not in use will
do good work years and years after its
counterpart has been thrown away by
the man who had the habit of leaving
it unprotected. Then the delays caus-
ed by broken machinery, loose bolts,
and rotten or twisted fiamers, discov-
cred Just at the time when the loss of
time means danger to the crop, more
than counterbalance any time, trouble,
or expense incurred i'll properly putting
away the machine. The provident far.
mer will always clean and house his
implements as soon as The harvest ID
ended. Whenever the paint on an i'm
plement begins to wear off, it ought
to be renewed. And when tools and
implements are housed they should be
placed just where they can readily be
found when again sought for,-Scien'

Presidential Handwriting.

Abraham Lincoln wrote small,
careful hand.
The handwriting Of General Grant
is easy to read.
Andrew Johnson's handwriting
was large and labored. His fingers
seemed all thumbs.
Zachary Taylor wrote with blunt
pen, with few fiourishes and no at
tempt at enumeration.
John Tyler, next to Garfield, was
the best writer among the Presidents.
He wrote a clear, legible, open hand.
Martin Van Buren, did not like to
write, but when he did sign his name
it was in large, round characters.
Franklin Pierce was the worst
writer of all the Presidents. His
writing was not pretty, but it could
be easily read.
The handwriting of William Hen
-ry Harrison was classic. He was q
man of varied accomplishments and
wide information.
No one would ever be able to coun-
terfeit the handwriting of Rutherford
B. Hayes. He never made the same
letter the same way.
James Buchanan was proud of his
handwriting. He prided himself on
his punctuation, spelling and the ele-
gance of his style of composition.
James X. Polk made a signature
which looks like copper plate.
Every line of it is well made, and
there is flourish under it which
would do honor to writing teacher.

Dangers of Breathing Through The
Mouth.
Chicago News.

Chicago News.
A paper recently read before the
Canada Medical Association in Mon
treal treats of the causes, serious con-
sequences, prevention and cure Of
what the writer terms buccal breath
ing-in plain English and more cor
rectly, breathing through the mouth.
AS is the fate of all hobby riders,
sooner or later, his hobby has run
away with him, and he undoubtedly
exaggerates the serious consequences
of the habit against which he in
Weighs. Nevertheless enough re-
mains, after making due allowance
for his enthusiasm, to warrant both
the public and the medical profession
in paying more attention to the sub
ject than is usually done. Athletes,
professional trainers, hunters, noun
taineers, all physically strong and
perfect men, habitually breathe
through the nOstrils. One may
breathe mephitic gases or the smoke
of a burning building for a short time
through the nose if the lips be kept
tightly closed, when he would quick
ly suffocate if he attempted to breathe
through the open mouth. The func-
ton or sense Of smell, which is com
monty considered the chief end of q
mans nose, is really a very subsida-
ry part Of its business. Through the
nose the air is purified, tempered and
mOistened before it reaches the sensi
tive larynX and lungs. Foreign and
irritating particles are arrested in
their passage through the nasal cavi
ties; the temperature of the air il
raised to that of the body, while it il
moistOned by the secretiOns of thu
membrane which lines its labyrinth,
and of the glands which it lodges.

entirely deposited on the moist mu-
Gus surfaces of the winding, shell-like
nasal passages in proper breathing.
The usual effect Of the first mOuthful

phere is to provoke a cough and a
prompt closure of the lips to guard

have not awakened in the morning.
with dry, harsh tongue, throat and
palate when from any cause nasal
respiration has been ilhpeded during
sleep, the secretion Of the mouth be-
ing neither suitable nor sufficient to
keep the surfaces moist under such
circumstances. Catarrh and throat
affections are much less common
among those who keep the mouth
shut and habitually breathe through
the nostrils. This of itself, here in
Chicago, where these diseases are 50
prevalent as the result of our climatic
conditions, should lead to the general
adoption of a practice which has
many other and obvious advantages.
