COTTON SEED WITHOUT LINT.

Mr.. 7. Furgeson, cotton plan
ter near Spartanburg. S. c., claims
to have cotton plant that produc-
es seed without lint. Of this plant
it is said the seeds are vari-colored.
the shades being generally blue,
green and white, and of course can
not be distinctly specified. Given
this fact, Furgeson commenced
some time ago, to pick out the male
plants, and with the seed extracted
from them planted another patch
separately. When the crop was
ready for picking the male plants
were again selected and the pro.
duction of seeds planted separately
again. This process of selecting
male plants was kept up until at
last lint refused to germinate and
nothing is left in the hollis save a
large amount of seed. The amount
of seed contained in the boil is more
than equal to the weight of the lint
and seed found in the average sized
boil of cotton. Furgeson claims
that he can produce four hundred
bushels of seed to the acre by this
new discovery, where only IS
bushels are now gathered with the
lint. He has been very careful in
producing the results given above
to obliterate all vestige of lint from
boil of cotton-and has succeeded
in a most remarkable manner. 9th
er experienced planters have been
shown Ferguson's new discovery
and are much struck with it.
An expert who was shown the
plant and bolls, said the boil had
the interior of a regular boil of cot
ton after the Int has been picked
cut. The seed are a little larger
than the common seed and are per-
tectly free from any semblance of
lint. The hollis are filled with these
seed, which are as numerous as ok
ra seed in pod of okra. The lev-
olution that will be effected by this
new cotton plant, if it can be cult
waited successfully, will be beyond
calculation. If Ferguson's calcula-
tons are correct, the cotton oil bus
mess will be entirely revolutionized.
The planters who now raise cotton
are fortunate if he can make POO
pounds of lint cotton to the acre.
Counting the value OF cotton seed at
$50 an acre is considered big re-
turn to planters in this state. Fur
geson claims that his new cotton
seed plant will yield at least $50 an
acre. This amount he says will be
obtained from 800 bushels of cotton
seed at twenty cents per bushel that
being the present price paid for the
raw seed. The state agricultural
bureau will investigate the matter.

The SABBATH.-God said, "Six
days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work, but the seventh is the Sab
bath Of the Lord thy God. In it
thou shalt do no work"
Could this command be palmer {?
Does anything in it imply that rail-
roads, glass factories, ice factories,
newspapers, stage lines, or any other
business should be run on the Sab
bath ?
Has not our State law against
violation of the Sabbath day ? Has
the State more right to say that the
poor woman on the corner must
close her candy shop or goober
stand on the Sabbath than the great
daily papers should close their off,
ces? Our law pretends to say that
no freight trains shall be run on
Sunday, yet every Sabbath day is
desecrated by the rush and roar of
freight trains and the scream of the
locomotive. We see them every
Sunday.
The great steam engines of the
big daily papers run on Sunday,
and their printers sit at the cases
and set type on the day when God
said thou shalt do no work.
On last Sabbath friend of the
writer was taking an evening walk,
and coming to the glass works found
them in full blast. Working away
upon the Lords day in defiance of
the law of both God and man.
These We mention are only few
of the instances of the violation of
the Sabbath. Look around you on
every side and this same sin stares
you in the face. Truly we are ma
ton of Sabbath Observation-Disclosures

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Many of those who once crossed
its threshold so eagerly, have gone.
The playground OF the little girls is
gone. The sweet twilight of a sum-
mer's eve as it fingered on beauti-
full landscape Of hill and dale and
river and city, is gone. Slight
threads of gray are sprinkled amid
the once black locks of youth and
beauty, and the loving hearts
reaches out into the past and gropes
for scenes that will never come
again. Gone is the singing of the
birds and the laughter of the child
hood. The fond, cherished dream
of a hallowed old age has disappear
ed in the mists of the morning; but
the roar of the city is still the same,
only louder, the tread Of the feet is
still the same, only more solid; the
hum of life is still the same, only
greater; and the burdens of the day
are still the same, only more of them,
and heavier. And so the old things
of the past give way to the new, and
the scenes of a busy life, "like spec
ters grim and TALL" walk through
the corridors of memory and startIe
US with the onward flight Of time.

WEEDS.

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM
What boy on farm, or at a home
where there was large garden, but
has asked the question? How many
weary hours he spent in the hot sun
endeavoring to destroy, once for all,
these vile pests, and how, over night,
they seemed to grow beyond his
power to destroy.
What is weed? "Any useless
plant" one says. Another has said
"any plant whose use is not yet dis
covered" but a better definition is
"any plant out Of place is a weed
Thus the beautiful grass of the
lawn transferred to the strawberry
bed becomes an annoying weed, and
so may be considered and treated
the numerous young plants of the
strawberry, raspberry and black
berry which we see between the
rows.
The ordinary weeds are, however,
plants for which we have no use.
Where do they come from? All
plants come from seed or buds of
some form. When, then, weeds
spring up in the garden, they come
from seeds which in some manner
have gotten there. What are these
means -? A few of the more COM
mon only can be named:
The seeds of weeds are often pres
ent among the seeds which are
sown. Farmers must be on their
guard constantly when they pur-
chase grass seeds, or else they may
SOW their farms with noxious weeds.
Manv weeds are introduced into
the garden with the manure used.
Stable manure contains the seeds of
all the weeds which existed in the
hay and straw of which the manure
was formed. The writer has differ
ent crops of weeds growing on his
grounds, brought from different
stables. Commercial fertilizers are
free from weeds.
The wind blows many seeds into
the garden. Some seeds, like those
of the dandelion and thistle, are
formed for this mode Of dispersion.
The running surface waters may
introduce other weeds from neigh
boris grounds. Streams running
through the garden may carry many
seeds.
Other seeds are in the dropping'
of birds, and some are carried in the
mud on their feet.
Railway trains carry weeds am
distribute them about the countr,
with great rapidity.
Some seeds cling to our domestic
animals, and are thus introduced
into our grounds.
Other seeds cling to the clothing
of man and are carried from place
to place. Whenever an army pass
es through a country, weeds un'
known in that region before spring
up. Thus, in Georgia, after Sher-
mans invasion, and in France, after
the invasion of the Germans, pesti-
lential weeds are said to have ap-
peAred in abundance. The broad
leaved plantain is called by our In
dams the white Mans Footmarks'
because it springs up on his camp
ing ground.
A large proportion of our worst
weeds have come to US from the old
world, as one will learn from an ex-
animation OF Gray's botany. Some
troublesome weeds have been intro
duced as plants for the flower gar
den. The Bouncing Bet and the
Toad Flax belong to this class.
Some weeds promise to become
useful in the future, as the Velvet
Leaf yields good fiber, and the va
rious milkweeds furnish in their
milky juice considerable amount
OF India rubber.

Can person determine for
himself whether an act Is right il
wrong? If he has the power to do
this for what purpose is morality
taught? If a man must be taught
what it is to do right, and he must
also use his own power to determine
whether that which is taught is right
or wrong, it surely presents strange
inconsistency. A man cannot de-
termine what is right if it depends
upon teaching, for two persons being
taught contrary ideas of morality,
will fight each other for not admit
ting the error Of their teaching.
