IMPROVEMENT OF THE COTTON PLANT.

MANY of the so-called long stapled up
land varieties owe their distinctive pecu-
liarities to attempts to improve the quail
ty of the staple of upland varieties, by n.y.
bridizing with the Sea Island. The OBJ
iect sought was to lengthen the staple by
using the Sea Island on the one hand, and
secure productiveness from the upland on
the other. These efforts have generally
resulted in an improvement IN the lint,
but such reduction in productiveness as to
destroy the advantage gained in the quail
ity of lint. In some instances, however,
decided advantages have been gained:
There are many varieties of the upland
which have very distinct characteristics,
indicating that they have been thoroughly
established. Besides those resulting from
hybridizing with Sea Island, others have
been produced by selection, continuing
from wear to year to select seeds from
stalks having the form, habits of growth,
and prod%uctiveness desired, on the princi-
pie hat like produces like, and that such a
careful selection will soon establish the
type that is desired, and a new variety re-
suits. Plants are Just as surely and readi-
ly improved by selection rs animals, and
the improvement resulting from judicious
selection, requires the same WatchfulnesS
for it's perpetuation and maintenance in
plants that is demanded for animals. Sim
liar requirements are necessary in each
case. No intelligent breeder would at
tempt to improve his stock by selection,
without abundant feeding and judicious
attention. Neither need we expect any
decided Improvement in the type and pro-
d%uctiveness of our plants without album
dant food and thorough cultivation.
Nearly all Of our cultivated plants have
been developed into their present adj
vanced state of productiveness, through
the influence of demonstration and accom-
panying cultivation.-Am. AgricuHurist.

HE HAD AN OFFSET.

A hired man who has been employed on
a farm in this county several months en-
tered suit against his employer the other
day for balance Of wages amounting, as he
claims, 1882. The suit was on trial before
Justice - yesterday, and it looked at
first as if the plaintiff had a clear case.
He gave dates and figures in a straight
forward way, and seemed a very honest
young man.
When the farmer took the stand he said
81 claim an Offset for that $32. No man
need sue me for what I honestly owe"
"What is your offset?" asked the law
yer.
"He's'an unbeliever."
"In what?"
"Why, in the Bible"
"What has that got to do with your ow-
ing him 1922"
at has a heap to do with it. I had six
hands in my employ, and we were rushing
things when I hired this man. He hadn't
been with us two days when he stopped
the reaper in the middle of the forenoon
to dispute about Daniel in the lions den,
and in three days we had a regular knock
down over the whale swallowing Jonah.
The man who run the mower got to argu-
ing about Samson, and drove over a stump,
and damaged the machine to the tune OF
$1s, and the very next day my boy broke
his leg while climbing the fence to hear
and see the row which was started over
the children of Israel going through the
Red Sea. It wasn't a week before my
wife said she didn't believe Elijah was fed
by the ravens, and hanged if 1 didn't find
myself growing weak on Noah and his
flood. That's my Offset, sir, and if he was
worth anything I'd sue him for $1,000 be-
sides,n-IOnG Mail.

TEST THE Cows.-Farmers do not raise
calves enough. In this country, at least,
there are enough thoroughbred bulls, so
that any farmer can easily get his grade
calffrom his best cow, which will very like
ly come in at two years old and give as
much milk as it's mother did at mature
age. Beginning with only one cow, in a
few years a farmer may have his barn full
of cows that will do him credit, and which
will bring him good prices when he sells
them. A man can better afford to pay
800 fora cow that is worth it than to pay
$50 each for two ordinary cows. 1t is we'll
to keep a record of the amount of milk
given by each COW, asin many herds there
are. COWS which do not pay the cost of
their keeping and are kept at the expense
of the others. Taking out the poor ones
and reducinga herd of 1G to 10 of the best,
would be satisfactory and profitable. Its
but little trouble to weigh every milking
on a dial spring balance, hung up in the
barn, and set the amount down on a card
prepared for that purpose.

A Musty Medical Tradition.

Among the unwritten laws of the medical
profession is provision that none OF its mem
berS shall give any newspaper advertisement
of their calling. Beyond mock modesty the
reason for this rule is hard to find If q ply

mems physical ailments, it is no less his own
than the interest Of sufferers that his skin be
made known. How this shall be done,
whether by direct or indirect advertisement
is matter of business. Advertisement in
some form or other is necessary. Like the
dry goods mans wares, the physicians art is
for sale. Like the merchant. the doctor Will
put up sign indicating his whereabouts, but
the doctor while glad TO have his patients
extol and thus advertise his capacity, hest

fession to emulate the merchant. who has

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE grain markets
were quiet with tendency to firmness at
the opening at Change this morning.
There was no decided movement to the
markets during the first hour. Trading
was of light volume and of a scalping
character.
May wheat opened at S41Ec, advanced to
H42Sc fell back to S42sc, ana then settled
down to S41sc, the opening price. In spite
of the liberal export movement of wheat
and -four reported from the seaboard,
wheat went down steadily. There was
considerable selling on the part of the two
prominent operators, and the small scalper
followed them. May wheat sold as low as
$3.50 at one time during the morning, and
closed at S3ISc.
Corn was dull. May opened at 54l9c,
and when wheat eased Off sagged to d &c.
During the greater part of the session
corn followed the provision market close
". May broke to 2l@53Sc shortly be
fore noon under free selling, and then be-
came steady around 535sc, and closed at
s334a53Yc.
Oats, lust before the close, attracted more
attention than anything else. May oats
opened at 343Ic, touched the 34c point with
considerable excitement and ten buyers to
one seller at that price. May closed at
Bake.
There were fair arrivals of hogs ana
prices a shade lower. This created a free
selling movement III produce that kept up
until the close. Trading IN the aggregate
was moderate and local Commission
houses, who have had fair buying orders
for pork for week past, were in the mar
ket TO a limited extent but failed to arrest
the downward movement. May opened at
SIS So and sold at S15.57 {, receded TO sl5.55115
and closed easy.
There was no shipping demand of conse-
auence for lard and the general market
was heavy May broke from S1.95 TO 1863
and closed tame.
May short ribs opened at $50 sold at
IS. 10t0S. 12I5, sold to 1.95@7.9111s and closed
easy.
