crop is dependent upon the corn crop.
Plenty of corn gives plenty of food to fat
ten hogs, and when hogs can be fattened
at small cost, they can be marketed a
small cost. This condition of affairs has
its influence on lard, and, of course, the
price of seed products used for the manu-
facture of lard" falls off. Again, with
plenty OF corn and other grain to FEED
cattle, there is not so much need for
reasons advanced by the mill men for the
low price OF seed and the poor outlook
for better one.
Last year, at this time, cotton seed oil
was worth in the market 2712c per gal
Ion. This year it is worth only 1Sc. This
makes difference of S4.75 in the value
OF 50-gallon barrel of cotton seed oil.
Last year at this time the value of cot
ton seed meal at Memphis was $3.50 per
ton. This year cotton seed meal brings
only $l4 Cotton seed hulls are quoted at
the same figures which prevailed last
year, 81 per ton. The low price of cotton
seed affects the farmer more than one
thinks. For each bale of cotton that is
marketed there is in the neighborhood
OF LOO pounds, or over half a ton of seed
for sale. The price of seed is far from
satisfactory, and many southern farmers
who are able to do so will hold their seed
for a better market.
Memphis is perhaps the largest cotton
ton of affairs which prevails here is
prevalent elsewhere. The mills, and
there are six of them in operation at
the present time. ar working in harmo-
ny, and there is little probability that
the enormous prices which characterized
the war between them a year or more
since, when cotton seed sold on the river
as high as ST. per ton will be seen in
Memphis this winter. The difference of
81 per ton in the value of railroad and
river seed is easily explained. Seed can
be shipped by rail in bulk. 1t has to be
sacked when it is shipped on the river.
Mills must furnish river seed with sacks,
and besides the cost of the sacks them
selves there is the cost of labor in sack
ing and unsacking the product. A fact
about cotton seed that Is not generally
known is that river cotton seed produces
much more oil to the ton than does rail-
road seed. This is because river seed
comes from the bottoms and railroad
seed from the hills.

Cheaper Cottonseed Meal.

lily up, the price of cotton seed is on the

LIST. The price per ton has dropped from

Profitable Layers.

A pullet that does not begin to lay be-
fore she is ten months old should be sent
to the market stall, says the Poultry
Keeper. 1t does not pay TO keep pullets to
replace hens, unless the pullets begin to
lay in November, and then lay during the
winter. When the pullet is slow in be-
ginning to lay, the cost of her maintenance
detracts from the profits too greatly. When
early pullets chose Matched not later than
ApriD do not begin in November. it is sell
dom they will lay until the opening of
spring. 1t is much cheaper to keep the old
hens during the three months required for
the melting process than to sell them off
and replace them with early pullets.
The old hens will cost less and pay bet
ter No early pullet Will pay for her
self until she is at least eighteen months
old, as she must return the cost. from the
time she was Matched until the time she
begins laying, a tribute which the hen
has already paid. To insure a profit
even though q small one, keep no non
duces eggs than keep dozen and get
nothing. The larger the number the
greater the cost: but il is not the rule
that the larger the number the more
much time is lost in waiting for hens to
begin to lay, even after winter sets IN
1t is safe to say that, except in warmer
climates than ours, the hens that have
not started in on their duty of egg pro-
duction before the present Time will not
overload the egg basket before spring
But as the spring opens, and they SET

their owners; for their resting during

Farming as a Business.

1t is a remarkable fact, says the Oregon
Agriculturist. but none the less true. that
the successful farmers are readers of ag-
ricultural papers and agricultural litera-
ture of all kinds. They make a study
of their business, and by keeping posted
on what others are doing in the farm
ing line, are always able to take adj
vantage of improved methods. There are
many farmers who honestly think that
they are not to blame because their cows
do not yield more than $50 pounds OF but
ter in a year, and other crops in like pro-
portion. Because they work hard they
feel they have done their full duty, ana
when they realize that they are continu-
ally running behind, become discouraged
and say there Is no money in farming.
True, and there never will be for those
farmers. In the commercial world a large
percentage of the business men fail, large
ly due to incapacity. 1t takes Just
much, If not more ability, to successfully
run a farm as commercial business.
There was perhaps time when IL did
not, but that time has passed never to
return. In times of general depression
the business of farming is no worse than
any other business. There is money in
farming for the brainy farmer and there

writer in an exchange says on the sub

because they also are so obstinately we'd
ded to old ideas and methods. Business
methods have been literally revolutions

Pumpkfns for Hoe.

Pumpkins make a most excellent food
for hogs, if fed in connection with grain.
Mr.. John NJ. Jamison tells Snis way Of
feeding them in the Country Gentleman,
which is as follows:
Il have always thought it a wasteful
way of feeding to throw them out by
the wagon load at a time, and would not
feed them that way If 1 had more than
could use in any way. We send our

Gardening for Pleasure and Profit

American Gardening presents us with
the following beautiful sentiments upon
a subject that few fail to enjoy at one
time or another in their life time. As
Lord Bacon said, a garden is the purest
of human pleasures. If you possibly can
have a garden.
The joys of a garden are in harmony
with our years. In the springtime of life,
springtime in the garden is the most en-
joyable. and the same harmony exists in
summer, autumn and winter. Our walk
is now delightful one, because it teaches
the most beautiful lessons.
Like a beautiful old age-a long life
without regrets is the garden in autumn
wherein every plant has performed lts
part well, and where there has been no
blight, no rust, no aphis, and no untimely
frost to blacken and destroy. The joy Of
the garden is now greatly enhanced, be-
cause ii must soon begin to fade, there
fore we cling with a peculiar fondness
to what remains. At every stage of life
there comes beauty and pleasure if we
will, or sorrow and sadhess-as we may

this plum should be extensively planted
