The same disregard Of mathematical

fences are removed and farms thrown
into one or two large fields. Instead Of
taking advantage Of starting at the barn
and blowing or cultivating 100 rods and

sunervision of the Walburn-Swenson
Co. of Chicago, which has charge of the
mechanical department of the American
Cotton Co., at Chicago Heights, where
there is in operation a magnificent plant
equipped for the manufacture of the null
tiple gin and the cylindrical compress.
This organization has well-earned re-
putatiOn throughout the South, partlcu-
larly in sugar-planting circles, having
brought out many valuable and success
full inventions now employed in that in
dustry.
Among those who witnessed the formal
opening of the exhibit was Col. Hector
ID. Lane, president of the American Cot
ton Growers Protective Association.
With one of the purposes of that asso-
citation in view, lessening the cost of pro-
duction and increasing the selling price
of cotton, Colonel Lane said:
For ten years | have been diligently
applying my best efforts to the solution
of the problem how to evade and curtail
as far as possible the multiplicity Of pro-
fits which, under the existing system,
have been taken out of cotton by dealers
who stand between the grower and the
millmen who do not work for their health,
but for what there is in the cotton crop
for themselves. | have for several years
been officially investigating the cylindri-
cal compress and watching eagerly the
successive stages in its evolution, from
the experimental to the perfected state,
and the result is that from the growers
point of view l am thoroughly convinced
that this invention and the change in the
system of handling cotton which it will
necessitate cannot fail to serve as a
means of deliverance from most of the
ills which growers have heretofore had
to endure.
''In other words, this inventlon-or
rather this pair of inventions, for this
multiple gin is almost as radical a new
departure as the bale-rolling machine
will, by opening up short cut in the
tortuous, toll7gate burdened road the
bale has had to travel from the tielus to
the mills, bring delverance from the ills
which have seemed so deep-rOoted as to
be irremediable. People may say what
they please, but the farmer pays all
the toll from the beginning of the cotton
bales commercial journey to its ending.
For instance, the 6 per cent. which Liv-
erpool buyers deduct in figuring out what
they can afford to pay in order to cover
what they are now compelled to pay for
worthless bagging and ties is one of the
taxes upon growers, from which the
cylindrical system will bring relief"

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
laims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

There Is always more or Tess suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so Overfows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
iscovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them of any
orm of nervous debility; relieves them Of
II the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment 1T
ould seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
eeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
| igor, without which they continue to live
an existence Of untold misery. AS the
remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
storing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with
any form Of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to Ell. O. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
q y, Mich, stating that you are not send
ing for the prescription out of idle curl
osity, but that you wish to make use Of
| the medicine by giving it a trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence
to where information came from.
| The prescription is sent free and al
| though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut t IS out and send to Mr..
dds that he may know how you came to
write him.
