Cotton Seed.

The high price of cotton seed
now is going to be a great temp
alton to sell too closely for seed
for another year. Every farmer
should keep at least seed enough
to plant his crop twice, for accl-
dents are likely to occur. The
seed can be disposed of in the
the spring if not needed to plant.
Cotton seed are destined to be-
come a great and permanent fac
tor in the commerce OF the
world in the future, from the
fact that every portion of them
can be utilized, The oil how
ever will we think in the cours e
of time become one of the great
heating elements of the world as
wood. coal and petroleum be-
comes scarce.

Oats.

Don't forget to sow oats this
month for it will be too late to be
followed by as good results to
delay longer. Corn will be
scarce with the majority of farm
ers aud oats will not only prove
a fine thing to carry stock through
the winter and save corn, but
will if sown now make better
grain than in the spring.

How A Trust Swindles
The Farmers.

The Little Rock Dem ocrat pub
fishes the particulars of swind-
ling scheme which has been prac-
ticed by the Jute Bagging Trust
at the expense of the cotton farm
ers of the Southwest. The
standard weight OF, bagging in
which the pressed bale Is wrap
ped runs 100 pounds to the roll OF
fifty yards, and is bought with
the understanding that each roll
contains loo pounds Of jute, or
two pounds to the yard. 1t has
been discovered, however, that
the bagging comes from the loom
weighing from " - 81 pounds to
the fifty yards, and to meet this
shortage the cloth is treated with
strong solution of salt and wa
ter, and as it is then wound into
tight, hard roll, it retains the
moisture and gives the roll the
full weight of 100 pounds. In
this way IS pounds of bagging
and Is pounds of salt and water
are palmed off on the farmer as
100 pounds of jute, and when, as
at present, the bagging sells at
8 cents a pound, the purchaser
pays 81 20 for the brine in every
fifty yards he buys. The money
paid for the Salt and water is, of
course, lost to the farmer and
goes into the Golfers of the swind-
ling trust. The Little Rock Dem
ocrat relates that a Vicksburg
dealer dried a 100 yard roll of q
bagging for three hour and it lost
forty -one pounds. 1t had been
overweighted with the brine to
$50 pounds and dropped in dry
ing to 200 pounds. At Shreve-
port a 50-yard roll lost seven
pounds in the warehouse and
thirteen more after drying two
hours unrolled in the sun. At
St. Louis two 20 yard rolls were
weighed and then dried. One
showed a loss of 23t pounds and
the other of % pounds in about
five hours.
The parties who were guilty of
the aud and imposition detect
ed in these cases. it is noted,
claimed that their pretended
process of manufacturing jute
bagging rendered it freproof. and
they sold it at a higher figure
for that reason" 1t has been
shown, however, that "the only
fireproof quality it possesses is
the dampness from the salt water
with which it is saturated, and a
few hours exposure to the sun
and air renders it more infiama-
BILE than it would have been with

1t is estimated by one authori-
that the people of Texas alone
have lately paid at least 5000, 900
for the salt and water in the bag
ging they have bought of this
character, and as the swindle, as
seen. effects both the dealers and
the farmers who handle it, it is
plainly to the interest of such
people in this part eff the country
to hit very shy of "fireproof'
bagging generally, and if posi-

sponsible factories at home.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of un-
digested food regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and oragnic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by r. l..

Publishers, BURDENS.

LeaVenWOrh Times: Publishers
are having no light burdens to bear
these days. The paper trust has
doubled the price of paper. The type
founders and the ink makers have
also combined end put up prices.
Everything costs more; yet the price
of advertising and subscription does
not advance. Now Mr.. Loud, of the
postoflice committee i'm the House,
has reintroduced his second class
mail matter BILL which, if passed,
would require all publishers to put a
stamp ON exchanges, copies to adver-
ers and advertising agencies, all
copies issued and paid for by cam
paign committee or advertisers, all
copies desired to be circulated for the
purpose of securing new subscribers,
all copies or special or extra editions
of any kind or for any purpose. There
is plenty of stuff, penny dreadfuls,
ETC., which would be better excluded
from the second-class mail rates, but
the newspapers should be let alone;
they are the heralds of intelligence
and enlightenment. Mr.. LIQUIDS bill
should be amended or defeated.
