SEED COTTON.
Some Ideas for It's management FromaA

Some Ideas for It's management From,A
Texas Authority.
Cotton should be picked out within 4,
very short time after opening, and
packed tightly in close room or house.
The open rail pen admits of too muah
light and evaporation, which eyapor.s.
ton commences on the day the cotton,
boil opens Cotton should remain,
packed securely for considerable time;;
the longer the better, the OIL in the. seed
distributes itself through the lint
thereby increasing the sample weights
and turnout of the lint The grain and
profits upon this method is suficfmsif
properly managed opay for the picking
There is more profit on the first cotSnm
or first bales of each crop gathered,
because the picking occurs be-.
fore there is so much evaporation. Cot
ton picked after October seldom pays
any profit: it seems that after frost
there is an increased amount of eyspo-
ration, and the oil which the lint cam
tains, as we'll as the seed, soon disap-
pears.
When cotton is ginned Immediately
after picking, the ginner is placed in an
embarrassing condition; bad turnout is
the certain result. Cotton picked early
has plenty of oil in both seed and lint
to pack down we'll in room, the closer
and darker the better. If you will put
it in pens keep it closely covered with
heavy sheets. A scaffold of plank sdOald
be provided at the cotton house for
spreading wet cotton, for it should not
be packed down wet; if it should, high
coloring would be the result Cotton
remaining unpicked in the fields
until late should be sprinkled yerY
lightly with water before packing down
in cotton-house before ginning, and this,
method places the seed cotton in case
for oil in the seed to distribute itself
through the lint, making better
sample, better turnout and less break
ing of the roll in ginning Do not de-
pend upon your small children to tramp
your seed cotton down, but put your
heaviest hands al it, and not be in too
big hurry to have it ginned. While
lying, in case tramped down, it will
more than pay for the picking and in
terest upon your steward account Is
ginned in cloudy weather there will lie
additional gain. Forty years expert.

you try it please advise me how you like

Mrs. Hetty Green's NapoleOnic Methods in
Increasing Her Wealth.

Mrs. Hetty Green's NapoIeOnic Methods in
Increasing Her Wealth.
1t used to be thought, and not so many
years ago either, that women were
possessed of no business capacity, but
the career of a score or more of ladies
in this city conclusively proves that
they possess better business qualifca-
tions than the average man.
There are many ladies in New York
who have acquired fortunes by their
own exertions.
Others have taken care of and largely
increased tho fortunes left them by their
ancestors.
Mrs. Hetty Green is type of the
smart business woman. Her father left
her $S,00O,OOO when he died, fifteen
years ago.
Mrs. Green has increased this amount
to SIS, 900, 900. She is married, but the
property all stands in her own name,
and her husband takes no part in the
management of the business. Most of
Mrs. Green's property is in real estate
and railroads.
She owns hundreds of acres in the
city limits of Chicago, and she is the
largest individual holder of Louisville
& Nashville stock. Mrs. Green takes
no advice from any body. She tells her
lawyers and her agents what to do, and
they do it without question.
Parties who have had dealings with
Mrs. Green say that she is shrewder
than any business man they ever met
She is the wealthiest married woman in
America. Mrs Green dresses very
plainly and does not care for society.
All of her time is devoted to increas-
ing her already vast fortune.-N. Y.

Pea-Vine siIage.

According to Taxas experiment
station there seems to be little differ
ence between the values of corn aud
pea-vine ensilage.
The changes in the pea-vine ensilaga
in the soil are not truly such as would
have been expected. The pitrogenous
matter in the silo decreased and the
fatty acids increased, as would have
been anticipated. But there was also a
slight increase of crude cellulose and
decrease in nitrogen free extract
There is said to be an advantage In
Texas silage over that reported from
Northern States. The water is lower
while the other ingredients are all
higher, but the crude fiber not sufi-

Terra alba, or white earth, is used
exclusively for adulterating candies,
yet no less than 1000 tons of this sub
stance were recently imported through
New York. Lozenges made entirely of
this earth are dipped in sirups favored
with peppermint and other essences,
and then sold as genuine sugar lozen-
ges. When it is known that terra alba
is a mineral insoluble by the gastric
juices, the extent of the evil of this
adulteration may be understood. It
means grave danger Of incurable dis
ease To thousands Of young children.

Projected Line Connecting Lakeport
and Hopland.
Railroad surveying is reported very active
in Lake County, and it is thought that the
plans OF the late j. NJ. Donahue are about
to be consummated. His scheme was to
connect Hopland with Lakeport by a
branch. At New Hopland or Sauel Sta
ton a new hotel has been built on the
strength of a prospective road. This road
if built as originally surveyed, will follow
the Russian River for little over a mile,
and then branch due south through Foster
Canyon to the summit of the Mayacamos
Range, and then by a comparatively easy
route reach LnkepoTt.

MURDER OR SUICIDE?

Detective Bohen Has Strong Evidence
Against Fladung.
The Fladung inquest was postponed yes
terday until Monday, when it is expected
that the prisoner will be able to make
deposition regarding the tragic shooting
ARRAY in the lodging house at 325 Ellis street
last Monday week
Although Fladung claims that his wife
shot him and then turned the pistol on her
self with deadly intent. Detective Bohen,
who has made a thorough investigation of
the case, stated yesterday that Fladung shot
the woman and attempted suicide He be-
lleveS that the circumstantal evidence
which he can present will bear out his
views.
An examination of the room where the
tragedy was enacted showed that one bullet
penetrated picture-frame and lodged in
the wall. Two other shots were fired-one
into Mrs. Fladung's head and the other
upon himself. The testimony of the land
lady, together with the position of the
bodies and furniture after She heard three
shots Tired, will, the detective says, show
clearly that Mrs. Fladung was murdered by
her husband.

Merchandise does not show many changes
this week. Quicksilver rules firm at a
further advance and is closely held
Iron is dull and weak, and reports from
the East state that within fortnight past
both crude and finished iron and steel have
sold at the lowest prices yet granted.
Lumber is in active demand, both on
local and export account, but the scarcity of
vessels greatly restricts the volume of busi-
ness. Building operations in San Fran
cisco and its suburbs across the bay are
remarkably lively just now.
Tobacco is quieter, and cigars are none
too active.
Dry goods are less active and the demand
is confined to closing up gaps in stock. As
trade contemporary aptly puts it, this
particular period is sort of betwixt and
between, too late to buy summer goods and
toe safly to invest to any extent in fall
STOCK"
Coal shows no particular change. The
weeks receipts were 1890 tons Coast and
6J62 tons Australian. A San Francisco

BILE than men to those numerous ills
which spring from lack OF harmony in
