HERE AND THERE.

Music and other refined attain

knowing how to ''set the hens" milk
the cows and have their tables teeming
with vegetables in their seasons.
An English remedy for bloating in
horses, which is the enlargement of the
stomach by the pressure of gas from
within, is to dash cold water over the
animals back. This reduces the tenn
perature of the stomach and condenses
the gas, and favors its escape by eructa-
ton or through the bowels.

Rearing the mules and horses for
sale, under favorable circumstances, is
one of the most profitable industries in
which the farmer can engage. There
is not much more expense in producing
a good Ssycar old colt than in grow
ing a good steer, but there is an APP
preciable difference in the value of the
product.
"A good garden is half living. Men
are so often careless about this matter
that every girl should make gardening

1t is a notable fact that farmers are
getting to be reading people, and in

been the increase in the comforts and

Trim old and dead wood out of the

This is proven by the siclSly appear

this cause. The dead wood also har'

With cotton crop just sufficient tomeet
the requirements of the world, other
conditions being favorable, remunera-

quire not only that we reduce the cot

the surplus crop, the financial health
and strength of the farmers will
be assured Corn can be made at
20 cents per bushel. The farmer
who buys his corn has very
little control of his cotton crop. The
basis of exchange was made when the
crop was planted; silent bargain was
consummated, whereby the merchant
consented to furnish the supplies,
which the farmer could and should
have made, produced at much smaller
cost than the merchant can possibly OBJ
tain them at.
Statistics prove that the price of all

REDUCTION OF ACREAGE.


Views Of X. T. Nesbitt. Commissioner OF
Agriculture of Georgia, on the Necessl-
~ of Reducing the Acreage Planted to
Cotton.
IL is with pleasure that comply with
your request TO send you an article on
the present status of the cotton ques-
ton. In it my object will be to show
the farmers as briefly and clearly as
may be- First, that there is now on
hand too much cotton for the worlds
needs. Second, that if we increase the
crop in the same proportion for 1922
MS in lS00-9l, we can calculate on al
most certain disappointment as to re-
muncrative returns.
70 prove the first proposition-that
is, that the supply is now greater than
the demand-we have only to examine
the following table, in which, it will be
noted, the calculations are made for
4OO-pound bales Here we see that up
to lss9-9O the increase in the American
crop about supplied the increase in the
worlds consumption, the crops of other
countries never going materially over
100000 bales. But in 1S00-91 the
American crop, instead of increasing at
the usual rate, made sudden jump to
1O,S75O 600 400-pound bales THAT is, s.
800, 900 500-pound bales), leaving sur
plus of 1,275,0OO 4OO-pound bales, or t.
600, 900 of our 5OO-pound bales.
The estimates in the table for 1S90-9l
are based on the most reliable reports
that can be obtained; the official figures
will not be published until September
of this year.
Following is the table alluded to:

GOLD PAYMENTS


The New YCrk I,ri4ae SAYS:
There are thousands Of merchants who have to

gold or IFS equivalent TO foreigners. Other thou
sands have debts abroad OF at home on which
Payment ef principal aud interest in gold il

continue paying gold for notes.

gold But the amendment the free-silyer men
have accepted limiting free coinage to the
product of American mines shows lack OF
confidence in such result. 1t is, however
possible that the free coinage OF American
silver would cause American silver bullion
to rise to its old ratio to gold, or so nearly t,
that point that debts due in this country
may be paid in silver without considerable
loss to creditors But if silver bullion should

THE OBSTINATE MAJORITY.

i,r,ty insists upon a vote on the bill. Inc
House rassed the bill last summer, ana the

if if takes all winter. The minority is hight
ing against a vote. 1t has wasted days and
even weeks in useless denate-useless be-
cause not to the point Democratic men,
beers prime themselves with speeches which
they read TO an empty Senate. But our
Democratic contemporary sees nothing wrong
in this waste of time. Its censure is reserved
for the obstinate majority. The theory of a
republican form of government is that a
majority is supposed to rule. If its meas
ures are not approved by the people its rule
will be short. The minority is waiting to
make the most OF its mistakes From par
tisan point of view the minority profits by
every unjust act the majority commits. The
Democrats are not willing TO have the Fed
eral Elections Bill tested before the people.
They propose to talk it to death in the Sen
ate. In fact they are not unlike the foOtpad
who excused himself for committing muir
