Don't Stop too Soon.

One of the dangers now likely
to befall the cotton crop is to
stop working it too soon. After
it has all been plowed out and a
good apparently clean bed put
to it. Side harrows or Orrick
harrows ought to be run one
more time, shallow al! over it.
There will be more grass in it
than you think for, which will
grow very rapidly unless de-
stroyed by the harrows. Very
few farmers will "get out of the
grass this season. This last
narrowing after you think you
are "laid by will unquestiona
bly, do the crop as much good as
any former working and will
certainly be evidence of you
having perform your duty.

who is a well known stockman
in Western Sonth Dakota. He
said: I'll tell you a story that
will start you to thinking. A

miles west of Rapid City, has tt
herd of A. COWS. which represent
the family of 20 year old brin-
die COW he still owns. He bought
the COW 10 years ago and in that
time she and her Ofsprings have
produced that herd, besides 81,
305 worth of steers sold during
those years from the family.
The old cow appears just as val.
uable breeder as ever and will

Machine Removal of Fea-
th rs From Fowls.

Ore of the employees at the
Cudahy packing house in Kansas
City has invented a device fof
extracting the feathers from the
carcasses of chickens that is a
considerable Improvement over
the old way of picking them by
hand. The chickens are thr sh-
ed much on the order that
wheat is rid of its chat. There
is a receptacle in which the fowl
is placed after being killed, and
into this is turned several cross
currents of air from electrical
fans revolving at the rate of
5000 revolutions per minute. In
the twinkling of an eye the bird
is stripped of it's feathers, even
10 the tiniest particles of down,
and the machine is ready for
another.
