N Artists Expsssenes with IN Admirlns
Ayrshire.
Edward Gay is an artist OF some note
who lives in Mt Vernon. and he is
highly esteemed for his thoroushness
of System. his entertaining and merry
disposition. and his capacity for tell
ing . good story. His speciality in
painting is landscape. but il one should

Mr.. Gay. last autumn. took up his
easel. a piece Of canvas stretched upon
q frame. a palette. his brushes and
oils. and went to large and beautiful
meadow, not three hundred feet from
his house. ard took up a position under
q large apple tree. He had sketched
the outline Of the pretty picture before
him. had put on the groundwork and
had brushed in part Of the grass on
his canvas when luncheon time
came. The sky was cloudless.
hence there was no fear OF q
tornado. and as IL was too late in the
year for a thunder storm, he concluded
that his apparatus would be safe
enough where they were. but it was n
luckless conclusion. When he returned
from luncheon . great Ayrshire COW
stood under the treo with both feet
planted On the canvas. She had licked
OF all Of the paint representing the
green meadow. had chewed the leather
seated stool, and was about swallowing
q long leather strap with which MIR.
Gay bundled every thing together.
When the artist attempted to protest
against this wanton assumption OF q
strange COW she became belligerent

Cotton Picking--Cotton Begging.

No time should be unnecessarily lost
IN housing the remnant of the crop
from the fields. The heavy dews and
probable rains will have q very rapid
deteriorating effect on tho staple. and
not lock should remain to be picked
after the last boil has opened.
We trust that the farmers have been
successful in illustrating the power
and influence of concerted action in
their efforts to defeat the Ubiquitous
Bagging Trust, and to develop some
generally acceptable substitute for
bagging made of imported raw ma
terial. Little can be done by farmers
except to demand a substitute for trust
bagging and thus give substantial en-
enlargement to the development OF
some home material for making bag.
cling. It is most natural to turn ut once
to cotton itself as q material out OF
which to make a covering for the crop.
A very good bagging is made by the
Rosedale Manufacturing Company. OF
West Point. Ga, and by the Lane Mills,
of New Orleans, samples Of which we
have seen and heartily approve. We
ncline, however, to the opinion that
some less costly material than cotton
may be found. Pine straw. saw pal
mettO, and the bark of the cotton and
okra plant are promising materials.
We have seen a sample Of pine straw
bagging made by the Acme Manufact-
uring Company, of Wilmington. N. c.
1t is very similar in appearance to the
ordinary jute bagging. the warp and
filling being little larger. and the
weight per yard about two and a half
pounds. II is not SO strong rs the jute.
but is strong enough for all rea-
sonable demands. OF course a substi-
tutc for jute bagging. in order to be-
come permanent substitute. must be
furnished at the same or less price.
Farmers are not going to permanently
use more costly material in order to
anticipate future combines and trusts;
they will use the material that will In
the long run cost them the least. 1t is
well enough to urge and advise the de-
velopment of our home resources, but
the expense should not fall on the
farmers alone. They will buy where
they can buy cheapest and sell where
they can sell highest, if permitted to
do SO by the laws of the land. In the
meantime let the National Government
admit all foreisn-made bagging. as
well as raw material. free Of duty
