NOTES AND NOTIONS.

A Jefferson county farmer said yester- day that there was more money in cot ton at cents a pound than in corn at 30 cents a bushel He added that an acre on his farm would yield about 1000 pounds of cotton and that the seed from this amount could be sold for $4. The same acre would not produce more than fifteen bushels of corn, which, at 50 cents n bushel woul amount to but little more than the seed in the cotton. The cotton plant Is becoming more and more Valua- ble. It has been found by experiment that cotton seed meal mixed with corn meal forms a very nutritious food, and Is much cheaper than corn meal alone. The cotton stalk is also being utilized in the manufacture of paper EHorts are being made to improve the cotton plant now that it's use Is being broad- ened The January Journal of Hygiene says:
 "A botanist, P. H. Nell of the Alabama experimental station, has been making efforts to improve the cotton plant To do this he chose certain well-knoWn and excellent varieties for the mother ana other strong healthy ones for fertilizing them. In twenty-eight acres there was a remarkable improvement in the result shown in the size of the seed, the strength of the fiber, and also its length, weight and market qualities. The best new variety was produced by crossing Barnett on Peerless. the average weight of cotton fiber in the parents being in. creased 2S 2-3 per cent in the cross, the bolls averaging nearly 2A grams of lint The average weight of seed in the pa rents was increased 5S per cent in the cross while the number of seeds in each boil was increased from an average of S4Jh In the parents to 38 in the cross. The length of the staple was Increased from inch in the Barnett and 7-12 of an inch in the Peerless to II inches in the cross. The maturity of the fiber Is quite uniform throughout it's length, and its twist is excellent. The average breaking strength of a single fiber is 14.57 grams"

 Lovers of "A Kentucky Cardinal' will be glad to find it's sequel in MT James Lane Aliens Aftermath" The story is merely a sketch, a memory-a frag mentary reminiscence of "A Lover and His Lass,'' and the few months that com prised their love together. But who does not remember the charm and delight of the Kentucky author along this style of writing, filled, as it always is, with the breath of garden and woodland, while he tells us of the sweetest of all human affections?
