ROTATION.
For the past 80 years the demand for
the staple crop of the south has steadily
increased. The planters of the cotton
belt have met this demand, and the
cotton crop has increased from
., 500. 600 in 1869 to II, 900, 0ooin 1898-99.
Has this been wise policy, viewed
from the standpoint of soil preservation?
Can we continually raise this clean,
exhaustive crop on the same fields and
maintain the fertility of the soil? The
long suffering fields Of Georgia in 189S-99
yielded 1900, 600 bales of cotton For
this bounty the fields got for their share
only few dried leaves and sticks. The
cotton lint was all gathered and sold at
cents and the seed at 10 cents per
bushel, with promise that cotton seed
should be returned in the spring. Ro-
tate your crops if you would preserve
the fertility of your land. Don't kill
the goose that lays the golden egg.
And just here we refer with reasona.

crop OF last season.

ment that the crop would be about
5000, 600 bales. and that while cotton
was bringing between and cents
We believed the price would reach

This estimate was made after much
correspondence and through compila.

correspondents in the cotton growing
states. Mr.. Neil of New Orleans at
the same time made his estimate at Ia

wasted and thin lands 90 rapidly and

cut your grain in the spring sow down

Continue this rotation for three years
and you can increase the fertility Of
your land three fold. The pea vine to
the south is what tle clover is to the

A BEAUTIFUL young girl OF Roch-
ester, N. Y, has just obtained a
verdict for substantial damages
against two firms for using her por-
trait for advertising purposes, with
out her consent. In supporting the
verdict, Judge Davy, of the supreme
court, declares that if the likeness,
owing TO its beauty,is OF great value
'as trade mark or advertising
medium, it is property right
which belongs to the complainant,
and cannot be taken from her with
out her consent. This appears to
be sound reasoning, and anybody or

this, without permission, may stand
prepared to whack up damages.

Chimney Fires.

In accounts of chimney fires it is
common to read that the fire was ex
tinguished by throwing salt down
the chimney. Salt is used because
there is liberated from il when it
comes into contact with the fire q
gas that within an inclosed space
like chimney is very effective in
distinguishing fire. The primary
purpose in throwing salt or any
thing else down a burning chimney
is to dislodge the burning SCOT, chin
ney fires being caused by the igni-
ton of the SCOT clinging to the in
side OF the chimney. Salt lis used
for this purpose not alone because
of its peculiar effectiveness, but also
because it is something available for
the purpose that can commonly be
found at hand in a house. 1t is
thrown down the chimney in such a
manner that it will rattle down the
sides and by its weight knock down
the SCOT and sparks clinging to the
chimney's insides.
A bucket OF sand has been put to
