There have been some complaints made
that the elevator scene in the Cotton
King was really too thrilling to be
healthy, and that the impression retained
was bad for the nerves of the nervous.
Some one has suggested that, as it would
be pity to do away with this scene alto
gether the case on the elevator might DO
placardcd with some such advertisement
as Royal Baking Powder, Cartcr's Little
Liver Pills. or something of that sort to
distract or amuse the sensitive portion
of the audience.

Sometimes the talks take the other
direction and different ones tell Of the
mistakes they have made in the man

Others against making similar errors.
Wherever such meetings have been
held they have proved so interesting
that other meetings have followed, and
in a number of places permanent organ
izations have been formed for the pur-
pose of holding monthly or annual
meetings. Bonneville, Holly Springs,
West Point and other places have such
organizations, and the annual meeting
of the Patrons Union" at Lake, in
Newton County, has teen for many
years one of the largest meetings OF the
kind held in the United States.
Such meetings should be held in every
county in the State, and now IS the
time to arrange for them.

Chambers.

There have been several outbreaks OF
CHAMBERS in d fferent parts OF Mississippi
during the last six months and the dis
ease is so highly contagious and so fatal
that the veterinarian Of the Experiment
Station has issued bulletin on the sub
ject, In which he says that there is no
medical treatment which can be recon-
mended and that it is moro than doubt
full il any cases entirely recover, there.
for, the danger Of spreading the disease,
and the expense incurred by an attempt
at treatment mora than outweigh the
value Of The so-cuIled recovered cases.
At present there 10 State law which
says that all hoYsss diseased With CLAN.
ders shall be destroyed, but tho respon-
sibility Of enforcing is rests upon no
person in particular, and moreover,
there il no vstsripariap in the State
whose duty it is to diagnose such Cases.
Hence until proper pro visioD 10 made By
the State for effectually dssling with
contagious and infections diseases,
every horse suspected Of having CLAN
ders should be taken charge Of BY the
local authorities OF tho township in
which tho case occurs. Tho nearest
compel ont veterinarian should be called
and his diagnosis promptly acted upon.
There is but one correct method OF
dealing With this disease. That Is TO

disinfect everything with which they

Farmers Institutes.

During the last three years the num-
Der OF farmers institutes held in Mis-
sissippi has constantly increased, and
the present prospect is that the number
held during the coming summer will be
larger than ever before. Thsis a move
sure to result in good to every farmer
who attends the meetings. In several
OF the Northern States, where such in
stituies have been held for many years.
they are esteemed so highly that large
annual appropriations are made by the
State for their support, but in Missis-
Sippi they arc carried on wholly by vol
untary work on the part of those inter-
ested, and such voluntary work is always
the most effective. There has been no
uniform plan for tLese meetings, and
nearly all OF them are simply informal
gatherings where farmers discuss meth
'oGs OF farm practice how TO grow better
craps at less cost, how to handle stock
TO better advantage, and how to improve
their condition in various ways. Some
times these meetings are for only a sim
gle afternoon, sometimes morning and
afternoon sessions arc held, and in
some cases the meetings are continued
Through two days. Very often soma OF
the best farmers in the neigh Dor hood
are asked to read papers or to make ad-
dresses on some particular subject, and
frequently the men connected with the
Agricultural College and the Expert
ment Station arc asked TO assist in tho
work. Frequently sseh meetings are
arranged for by grange or an alliance,
and where there are no such organza.

Red Clover.

Until recently it has been thought
that red clover could not be grown In
the Southern States, but our experience
has been that on suitable soils and with
proper management it will grow fully
as we'll here as in any of the Northern
States, and that, while it does not last
as long here, its yield is heavier, and on
account of it's more rapid growth, the
quality of hay is better. At the Missis-
sippi Station on rich creek bottom and
on black prairie soils it has given ex-
cellens results, making two tons OF nay
per acre in May, another ton in June,
and in favorable seasons another ton in
September, though the last cutting has
been unreliable on account OF summer
droughts. Where such yields can be
made it is one of the best crops which
can bs grown, but there are many To-
calities in the South where it has not
been found profitable. 1t requires
soil which is rich and in fairly good
condition to secure catch" or the
seed, and on many soils where it makes
a promising start and yields two or
three cuttings it soon1becomes overrun
with the native grasses and is choked
out. Ordinarily it will not pay to grow
it more than two years on the same
ground, as by the end of that time it
will have done its best work in fertiliz-
ing the soil, and the land will give bet
ter returns il the last crop OF clover is
plowed under and the field planted to
some other crop. AS the plants produce
seed abundantly here and are not in
tested with the insects which have re-
Gently caused 50 much damage to the
crop in the Northern States, there seems
to be no reason why the seed crop should
not become of considerable Importance.
Red clover is a universally recognized
other crops, when grown either for hay
or as a green manure. and we have
made special efforts 10 test it on as great
variety OF soils as possible, and do not

prairie soils, and has never been salts
factory on sandy or white lime lands.
August sowings have given the best
satisfaction, as the plants from such
sowings are sufficiently strong to keep
down any growth of wild grasses and
weeds the next spring, and will give a
heavy cutting Of hay in May. II sown
in February, the more common time, the
first cutting will be principally of volun-
teer grasses, but the clover will give
two good cuttings later. Sowing with
oats in February is often successful
but the clover is often injured by cut
ting the oats, thus removing the shade
just at the beginning OF the hot
weather

examined the records Of 1l6 such tests
made at thirteen stations and find that
sixty-one tests Of deep cultivation gave
an average yield of $40 bushels per
acre, while ffty-five tests OF shallow
cultivation gave an average OF 74.7
bushels, difference OF 9.S bushels per
acre, or more than fifteen per cent. in
favor of shallow cultivation. In only
five cases out of the entire number did
the deep culture show the better re-
suits.
"Such uniformity in results secured
from so large a number Of tests at 80
many stations is not accidental, and
during the last four years we have fol-
lowed the shallow culture system for
our general crop. The ground is plowed
as deeply as possible before planting,
but after the crop begins to grow the
roots are disturbed as little as possible. !"
