For Lone years past cotton grow
ing In the South has not been Proh-
table industry for several reasons. but
the time is coming when il will be one
Of the most profitable industries o.
the farm. Necessity has forced the
effort to produce it at less cost than
formerly, and the result is that the
cost OF production has been so much
reduced that on the average there IS
as much profit in cotton now at ten
cents q pound as there was ten yesrs
ago at thirteen cents. They have re-
duced the cost in Mississippi to a
fraction. over six cents per pound, in
Georgia to q fraction over seven,
while it has been raised ID Texas at q
fraction over three cents. This, OF
course, was only in exceptional cases
where the best methods were pursued
and the conditions were favorable,
but it is claimed by those who speak
for Texas that if economy be aimed at
and the fright methods followed the
average cost OF production in that
State need DO be much above three
cents a pound. THE may be Claim
ing too much but there IS little doubt
that with better cuttare, reduced
acreage. more economical fertilizlng
&C., the cost will continue to decrease
until figure will be reached that ten
years ago would have been deemed
impossible Elk.

TIE RoP COUTLOOK OF TIE STATE

OF the crop outlook OF the State
Commissioner John Robinson says
in the August Bulletin: The cut
look is encouraging, especially 80 to
corn and farage and the cotton crep.
Never IN my recollection has there
been such radical change for the
better than has been in the cotton
crop since the frst of July. Grain
and forage ,s abundant with the
farmers ofthe State.
There is al assured shortage OF
all forage and cerea! crops in Eng
land AMI throughout the most OF Eu.
rope, which means there will be 81
heavy demand on America for all
they can spsre. This will have s
most favorable influence upon our
finances, and will put the farmers in
a healthy and stronger situation #
they will only take advantage Of the
opportunity and husband wei their
resources that they go Iar.
There is evidently better day
ahead for all industrious, frugal aad
intelligent farmers Of the South.

BIG GAME.
An Account of the Capture OF . Ear
pooned HippopotamuS.

In his book on Abyssinia Sir Samuel
Baker gives the following account of
the capture of hippopotanus. After
a long chase the animal had left the
river, and much to the disappointment
OF his pursuers had disappeared But
one of the knowing attendants ex-
pressed his firm conviction that the
hippo" would soon be seen again.
This prediction was fulfilled much
sooner than the most sanguine had ex-
peeted. At distance of nearly half
mile. says the writer. we saw the ami
nal emerge from the jungle. and
descend at full trot to the bed o: the
river, making directly for the first
rocky pool. in which we had previous
~ seen herd of hippopotami.
Accompanied by the old howarti
(hippo-hunterl we walked quickly
toward the spot: he explained to me
that must shoot the harpooned hippo.
as we should not be able TO secure him
IN the usual method by ropes-uearly
all our men being absent from camp
upon other dufies.
Upon reaching a certain pool, which
was about Q hundred and thirty wards
in diameter, we were immediately
greeted by the hippo, who snorted and
roared as we approached, then he
dived, and the buoyant float, upon
which the man with the harpoon was
stationed, ran along the surface, mark
ing his course in the same manner as
the cork of trimmer with pike
upon the hook.
Several times he appeared, but as he
invariably faced us could not obtain
favorable shot. / therefore sent the
old hunter round the pool, and he.
swimming the river. advanced To the
opposite side, and attracted the atten-
ton of the hippo, who immediately
turned toward him.
This afforded me good chance. and
/ fired a steady shot behind the car. at
about seventy yards, with single-bar-
relied rifle.
As usual with hippopotami, whether
dead or alive, he disappeared beneath
the water at the shot. The crack of
the ball and the absence of any splash
from the bullet told me that he was
hit; the float remained perfectly sta
tionary upon the surface. | watched
1t for some minutes-it never moved:
several heads of hippopotami appeared
and vanished in different directions.
but the float was still; it marked the
spot where the grand old bull lay dead
beneath.
When the men reappeared they swan
out, regardless of crocOdiles, to the
spot where the animal had gone down.
and securing the rope attached to the
harpoon dragged the body of the
hippo to the shore.

THE CURRENT OF LIFE,
How Blood rs Described-But Little Known
About 1t.

When the physiologist tells You that
''blood is the nutritive fluid of the It's
sues of living creatures" he has told
you about all he or anybody else knows
about the mysterious current of life,
says the st. Louis Republic. To be
sure, he can quote whole text books on
the subject-can tell you about dis
solved fibrine, albumen, sodium, potas-
sum-" etc, that the liquor sanguineus
contains; about the amnboid move
menJs of the corpuscles, and the rou-
leaux way in which these same cor
puscles pile up when separated from
the liquor sanguineus, and about
nueleoleuS appearance of the same
when they are examined with a micro
scope, and yet the whole reverts TO the
fact that ''blood is a nutritive fluid,
transparent and almost colorless when
deprived of the minute solid bodies
known as 'corpuscles.'" As may be
inferred from the hints above given
the color of blood depends entirely
upon the presence of the corpuscles,
which, by the way, are of two different
tints, red and white-the proportion in
the blood of a healthy adult woman or
man being three white corpuscles to
one thousand red ones. The size of
the red blood corpuscles of the human
being is only one thirty-two hundredth
part of an inch in diameter-those in
the blood of some of the lower animals
being larger in some cases and smaller
in others A species of reptile, pro-
teus, has the largest known blood cells,
the average being one four-hundredth
of an inch. The color of the blood is
entirely dependent upon the presence
of hemalglobin in the red corpuscles:
but, it may he remarked as curious
fact, even these red corpuscies are only
red when a considerable number Of
them are collected together-single
cells being almost transparent and of
very light straw color. 1t has only
been a few years since distinguished
European scientist announced to the
astonished world that white blood cells
were really the scavengers of the san
guineous fluid: that they were capable
of Independent motion. and that they
occupied the time in catching and de-
vouring microbes
