S24O COTTON CROP ON LITTLE PATCH
Wonderful Yield Secured Last Year BY
DR.. ]. Frank Harris at PaVo.

DR.. j. F. Harris of Pavo, besides be-
ing a success in his profession and a
model citizen in other respects, is one
of the most successful farmers in
Thomas county.
On piece of ground containing less
than three acres, DR.. Harris grew and
marketed last year $24O worth of long
staple cotton, and is now selling the
seed at $1.00a bushel.
A few years ago DR.. Harris gather
ed from this same piece of ground Is
bushels of oats to the acre.
He is now preparing to plant his
piece of ground in corn. The first
step toward planting his corn was to
break the ground deep and pulverize
it thoroughly. This was done by turn
ing it over with two horse pillow set
to run as deep as two horses could pull
1t, and following that pillow in each
furrow with sub-soIler running six
or eight inches deep, thus breaking
the ground thoroughly fer more than a
foot deep Before blowing the ground
the cotton stalks were cut into small
pieces and returned to the land to rot
and thus supply more plant food

NOVELTIES IN FURNITURE.
Strange Study Table Devised for
a Princeton Student.

A round study table seen the other
day has an interesting origin, says the
New York Mail and Express. 1t is said
that Princeton student not given to
burning the midnight oil in casting
about for a sort of moral suasion to
help him in doing that which he had
been wont to leave undone went to one
of the prominent furniture dealers and
entreated him to originate a study ia
BILE which would either invite or COM
pei the student to his task. The result
is seen in the Princeton table and chair
in one. The table is cut into on one side
in a deep curve giving the top a cres-
cent shape. A swinging seat fits into
the cut thus made. 1t is hinged to one
point of the crescent and latched to the
point opposite. The swinging end runs
on chair rollers. The back Of the seat
rises to the height of the table top and
when closed completes the circle Of the
outer edge Of the whole piece. When
seated within the Enclosure, the stu
dent is Gagged with his books, and his
escape must be deliberate one. The
young man for whom this unique table
was devised is said to have been so i'm
pressed with his moral responsibility
that he has developed unlimited appli-
cation to his once neglected books.
A talk seat" which might appeal to
any member Of the sex given to loquac-
ity emanates from the workroom Of
prominent furniture dealer. 1t is
pleasing modification of the sumptu-
ously upholstered tete-a-tetes and is
built in straight line effects. The light
wood frame of this attractive double
chair is ash in a pretty green shade,
and the seat is upholstered in old fash
toned green haircloth.
A luxurious swinging seat Of hand
wrought wicker is an attractive and
unusual piece Of furniture which may
be used to advantage in room of gen.
erous size. 1t is about six feet long and
three wide and is finished on the ends
and one side with high wicker back
rests. The seat may be hung from the
beams of the ceiling with stout ropes
or ornamental chains. Soft pillows and
slumber robes in pretty confusion
thrown over the seat make it a delight
to the eye as well as restful nook for
spending lazy half hour or so.

ing Drummer.

Georgia can boast a drummer VINO
probably isn't parallel in any other
state. He travels for Savannah
dry goods and notion house, but he pos
itively draws the line at corsets and
playing cards. He will neither per-
nit such things IN his sample cases
nor take orders for them. Formerly
this drummer was on the road for a
Savannah grocery firm, and at that
time he refused TO sell liquors and to-
baco. Since he has been in the serv-
ice of the dry goods concern he has
been elected to the legislature from
one of the interior counties. AS leg
islator he receives free passes over
some of the railroads. When he trav-
els on public business he makes use of
the passes, but when he travels to sell
goods he pays his fare spot cash, on

New STYLE Monogram,

The old style plain letter monogram
is being superseded, and the woman
who would be thought artistic and up
to date in dainty trifles is using the
new monogram somewhat after the
Japanese style, says the February Wo-
mans Home Companion. The more
subtle the design the better it is liked.
The idea is to have something graceful
in outline, well balanced in parts and
altogether artistic, monogram per-
fectly clear when once deciphered, but
which to the casual observer seems to
be merely a pleasing, fanciful sketch
or q symbol rather than combination
Of letters.

VALDOSTA GETS FAIR.
Savannah Offered $4,000, But
This Amount Was Increased.

Valdosta gets the next state fair.
This was decided upon at special
meeting OF the executive committee of
the.Georgia State Agricultural Society
in Atlanta q few days ago.
But two cities were in the race for
the fair, Savannah and Valdosta. The
offer of Savannah was to raise a pre-
MUM list of $4,000. Valdosta's offer
was premium list of $4,000 and in
addition to give to the society 25 per
cent. of the net profits.
After the representatives of the two
cities had been heard separately vote
was taken, with the result that Valdos-
ia was chosen as the place for holding
the next fair. The vote was unani-
nous and rising vote as we'll.
The date for the fair will shortly be
determined upon by the Joint action
of the fair and executive committees.

RETURNING TO NATURE.
An Authors's Interesting Views
on the Actual Process.

William L. Alden, writing from Lon
don for the book review of the New
York Times, says:
There is an obvious tendency to ''re-
turn to nature" in the books Of the
last twelve months. That is to say,
there has been published a very con-
siderable number of books dealing
with gardens, life in the open air and
the manners and customs of animals.
There is evidently a demand for books
of this sort or else they would not be
published. Returning to nature"
when it is put into actual practice, gen
orally means wearing a blue flannel
shirt and no coat; living in a hut in
stead Of house; eating atrocious food
cooked by some one who knows not the
first elements Of cookery, and acquiring
a large amount Of surface dirt on ones
clothes and body.
There was a time when l returned
to nature" for few weeks every sum-
mer, but could never see that much.
came Of it, except an inordinate desire
for the things 1 had left behind in
civilization. The literature Of "re-
turning to nature" is much more toler-
able than the actual process. Nothing
is more delightful than to read Of the
beauties of life in the wilderness. You
do not feel the bite of the mosquitoes
and you do not personally eat the fried
pork, but you have all the delights
which the man who wrote the book
fancied that he had had after he had
returned to civilization.

BREAD MADE OF PEA FLOUR.
War Department Has Something New in
the Way of Food Product.

Something new 10 the way of food
product is pea -four, with which the
war department has recently been
making experiments. 1t will be plac-
ed on the market before long att mod
crate price, and seems likely to come
into use to a considerable extent.
This flower is intended to be mixed
with wheat -four for making bread,
and the claim is that it improves the
flavor of the bread, which remains
soft and moist for much longer time
than when wheat flour alone is en-
ployed.
The pea -four is prepared for market
by cooking the peas with steam, then
roasting them and then powdering
them by roller process, the final pro-
duct being light sulphur yellow in
color and nearly as fDe as ordinary
wheat -four.

of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-

every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.

Grout believes his bill will go through
the House with a rush." in spite of the
fact that a more stringent bill than the
one favored by Gen. Grout was adopted
last week by the committee for favorable
report, a fact which must be known to
every we'll posted newspaper man in YER
mont.
While Congressman Haskins has been
doing his duty as a member OF the com
mittee. and has notified his constituents
that no more petitions would be needed,
1t is stated on the authority of one of the
leading farmers of the country working at
Washington to protect his own interests n
well as those OF other farmers that Gen.
CIRCUITS chief desire has appeared to be
to have his name connected with the bill
to go before the House although he is no
longer member OF the House. and that
his recent efforts to accomplish this end
seriously handicapped the work of those
engaged in framing the best possible
measure to protect our dairy interests
No one can reasonably object to Gen.
CIRCUITS advocacy of any measure that H.
friends for him seeks to make capital at
the expense of Vermont's congressman
who Is officially representing the people
Of Vermont in Washington, 1t is altoseth-
or another matter. The people of YER
mont gave Gen. Grout remarkably long
period of service in the House, covering
not quite two decades, all told, during
no small part of which he was agtating
the question of oleomargarine, and that
we gave him full credit for his efforts in
that direction our columns will fully dem
onstrate. He voluntarily retired from the
House without having placed on the
national statutes measures that would
protect the farmer from oleomargarine,
as existing legislative efforts prove con-
clusively, and he owes it to Congressman
Haskins to now give the latter opportu
unity to show what he can do for the pro-
lection of the farmers and to gain what
ever glory is to be gained from the pro-
motion OF this measure In the House.
When the bill reaches the Senate and
goes to Senator Proctors committee on
agriculture. we believe Senator Proctor
with his colleagues in promoting the
chances of the measures passage as ex-
Congressman Grout would have with sem
ators. to say the least, not to mention
the aid which Senator Dillingham; can be
depended upon to give his colleague.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
State Pays More For Diseased Cattle
Than They Are Actually Worth.

10 lnc EultOr OF tne Free IIeSS.
Some one has kindly sent me a Burling-
ton Daily News and my attention is call
ed to two articles, one by w. b. Douglas
and the other is signed Granger Il wish
he had signed his name) and both are said
to be on the tuberculosis question. TIL
animus of both is so plain that he that
runs may read and that is to ridicule
the cattle commission. | Am a farmer and
a Granger and have no idea that the COM
mission would apply to me If they wanted
a defender.
The first letter seems to be too funny
for anything The second is full Of
dilemmas and needs a longer reply. Cases
OF real hardship do arise under the law
as it Is now and the ones referred to may
be as bad as they are made to appear. If
so, | hope the writer and all Of the other
! good people have contributed something
/ to relieve the distress Of those around
them or course my brother Granger did
| his part toward feeding the hungry and
clothing the naked before he took up hi
pen to write on the matter for the pub
lie, do not like to believe that those tears
are dramatic tears shed only for the
effect that they might have on the cattle
commission, ! prefer to believe that those
good people have done their whole duty,
but hardly think could believe another
story just like It"
| cannot tell and brother Granger did
not tell Just how much better of those
poor people would have been IL they had
been allowed to keep their sick cows and
use and sell their milk and butter until
the disease finally killed them. The final
outcome of the terrible mass of disease
and corruption that there was among
the cows of Willlston If they had not been
killed off Is not a pleasant subject 10
dwell upon. There must be lots Of COOL
people there who realize that the State
did very benevolent thing when it
stepped in and ordered them killed ard
paid one-half of their value. Brother
Granger bames the board for killing these
poor peoples cattle and, If he is con
sistent, he is sorry that we have law
that made it their duty to do so. | am
not sorry that the sick cattle were killed.
l am not sorry that we have so good a law
as we have-am not sorry that the state
has paid them one-half of their value
that is one-half Of their value if they had
been well and five times as much as sick
cows would be worth to me. Practical
men do not fight contagious disease by
letting it alone and If these poor people
had been allowed to keep their cattle the
disease would spread and other poor poo
pie would be getting into the same trouble.
/ am sorry that their cattle had taken
the disease but think the state and the
treated them well. 1t is very plain to me
that it is best for all Of the good peop'e
of the state to give the board a fair
chance and not to put stumbling blocks in
their way. If anybody knows that the
are not doing their work well let them
say so. but foolish insinuatons and in
uendos are very bad weapons for thos
that use them.
