CROP PROSPECT AND PRICE.
The Deterioration of the Cotton
Crop should Warn the Planter
to he Slow to Sell.

OF course we all recognize that this
means primarily and chiefly cotton.
We said some months since that we
did not look for a large crop of cot.
ton. We have never known cotton ~
make June crop and an August
crop the same year, This season the
June crop was unusually heavy end
now we see the August crop CORE
spondingly light The dropping or
falling off or shedding of the hollis
and forms is so heavy that it is i'm
possible at present to measure the
full extent of the damage.
In many sections it is fully one
half The cause of this fearful ea-
lamity is not to be found in any one
thing. There were several contribut-
ing causes But the chief cause was
the excessive heat that prevailed from
The 18th to the 22d of August The
heat was so great that the cotton
plant wiltcd. Whenever a cotton
limb willis beyond where the form or
square" is joined to the limb, that
square" will fall off. Sometimes they
hang on until the bloom has come
and until the boil is half-grown. But
they never mature.
But the point now is not SO much
cause rs the effect. How much is
the damage? What effect will it have
upon the market price of cotton?
These are interesting and pertinent
questions
From North Carolina to Texas we
are getting reports from entirely re-
liable sources that show that this
trouble is not local. The crop that
was promised August list is not now
on the fields The crop that seemed
assured August the 18th has not
realized but has shriyeled and died
and fallen off. No amount of in.
genious figuring can restore these
dead hollis to life. No amount of es-
timating by interested parties can
alter the fact. The cotton is cut
short-fearfulIy short
The farmer should take advantage
of this condition and sell slow. He
has a right to get all for what is left
that he can. 1t is not only his priyi-
lege and his right, but his duty to do
this. The higher price he gets for
his cotton the more money he will

HERE AND THERE.

A good dairy is a luxury on the
farm There is cream for fruit and
coffee, butter for cooking and eating
on bread, milk to drink, and ways in
Vulnerable to utilize its products.
A very weighty reason why Egyp.
tian cotton should be grown in this
country is furnished by the recent
discovery that it is completely inn
nune from the rayages of the boil
weevil.
We would rather have a hundred
hens in our own yard all alike, az to
breed and quality, than to have a
bran-new red pump in the well. ANY
body can buy a pump who has the
money.
For the most of the south the
time for seeding wheat is the first
BALI Of October. For the lower re-
gions the latter half of October will
DO, Later than this is always
great risk.
More food is wasted each year on
the average farm than would keen
many additional head of stock. In
this day of ,"feed saving" implements
there is no valid excuse for this wan
ton waste.
"A few sheep should be found ON

THE DAIRY ON THE FARM,
Properly Managed II is a Source og
Pleasure ana Profit to the
Farmers Family.

In dairying on the ordinary farm
one meets with wider diversity of
conditions than in a loce ton esppcial-
ly selected for the purpose. Close
proximity to a rood market for the
products of the dairy IS an important
feature.
In many sections where there are
creameries which depend upon the
farmers surrounding distant towns
for their supply of cream, arrange
ments are made with the transporta-
ton companies for the cheap shin
ping of cream ana the return of the
cans, Competition of rival creamer-
les often renders it possible in such
localities for the farmer to realize
more profit by extracting the cream
with a separator and SHIPPING if IN
the creamery than to keep it on the
farm and do his own butter-mal5ino
In this case the skim-milll is undilpt-
ed, and may fed to calves or hogs
with the addition Of little of1-meaI
for the calves, CT shorts fer the hogs,
to form an excellent growing ration,
A farm dairy with fifteen or TWEEN
W COWS and growing stock to utilize
the by-products to the best adyan-
tage, even if the cream is made into
butter at home, will pay better with
the and OF good separator than
without it, The labor of keeping fine
separator clean-which is absolutely
neeessary-is more than offset by tbe
saving in time the improved quality
OF the butter and the better feeding
condition of the milk.

One day at Edinburgh Lord Rosebery
realized the disadvantage Of owning
swift horses. His brougham had met
him at WaYerly station to take him
TO Dalmcny. Lord Rosebery opened
the door of the carriage to put in some,
papers and then turned away. The
coachman. too well trained to look
round, heard the door shut, and. think
ing that his master was inside set Off
at once. Pursuit was attempted, but
what was there in Edinburgh streets
could oycrtake those horses? The
coachman drove seven miles until he
reached point in the Dalmeny parks
where j, was his lordship's custom TO
aiIght and open a gate, Here the
brougham stood for some minutes
awaiting Lord Roseberys convenience.
At last the coachuan became uneasy
and QisMounted. His brain reeied when
be saw an empty hrougham. He could
have sworn to seeing his lordship enter.
There were his papers. What had hap
pr"ct: With QuakinC hand the horses
were turned, and driving back the
caachman looked fcartully along the.
sides OF the road He finally met Lord

One of the best stories told Of con.
grossmen relates to Representative
Hamilton Of Michigan. When Mr.
Hamilton wants anything. he wants
it badly and will not stop fighting un-
til it is obtained. Once upon Il time
and not n long time ago, he wanted
bridge built over the Pawpnw river
In his district. lie sought the proper
officials and pestered them iusistcntly
Still the bridge was not built and, from
all indications. It would not be built for
long time. Mr.. Hamilton was pa
thence personified. Patience, however
finally ceased to be n virtue, and the
representative from the middle west
was mad. One morning he went to the
war department with blood in his eye,
strength in his arm and Il bottle Of
Pawpaw water in his pocket.
Here it isl he shouted as he rushed
into the office of the secretary of war.
Here is WHAT? coldly inquired the
secretary Of war as he looked at III,
little bottle of water.
Here is some Pa wpaw water" en-
phatically declared Mr.. Hamilton. "anC

what has the water got to do witt

"Why, this is water from the river"
What for:"

The story of a Telcscope.

Professor Turner declares that the
erection Of the observatory ON Mount
Hamilton sent up the value of land in
that region considerably. Accordingly,
some cnterprising gentlemen In anoth-
or neighborhood. desiring to test the
generality Of the law that If n large
telescope were built the value of land
In the neighborhood would go up, an
nounced a still larger telescope and
ordered two forty inch disks Of glass
for the lens. The experiment succeed
ed admirably, and they were so well
satisfied with the rise in price which
followed on the mere announcement
ESQ the story goes) that they consider
ed 1t unnecessary to proceed further
with the instrument. The two lenses
were produced and, not being claimed,
were left on the makers hands, the
result being that the favorable oppor,
tunity for their purchase was brought
to Mr.. Yerkes' attention, and he bought
them for the great telescope that bears
his name. This, at least, is Professor
Turner's version Of the story.-Argo-

CHAPTER XXXII.
THE TREASURE HUNT-THE VOICE
AMONG THE TREES.

THE TREASURE HUNT-THE VOICE
AMONG THE TREES.
Partly from the damping influence
OF this alarm, partly TO rest Silver and
the sick folk, the whole party sat down
rs soon as they had gained the brow Of
the ascent.
The plateau being somewhat tilted
toward the west, this spot on which
we had paused commanded wide pros
pect on either hand. Before us, over
the tree-taps, we beheld the Cape of the
Woods fringed with surf; behind, we
not only looked down upon the anchor
age and Skele ton island, but saw--clear
across the spit and the eastern low
lands-a great field OF open sea upon
the east Sheer above us rose the Spy
glass, here dotted with single pines, there
black with precipices. There was no
sound but that of the distant breake rs,
mounting from all round, and the chirp
of countless insects In the brush. Not
man, not sail upon the sea; the very
largeness OF the view increased the
sense of solitude.
Silver, as he sat, took certain bear
ings with his compass.
There are three tall trees,'" said
he, "about in the right line from Skele-
ton island. 'Spy-glass shoulder take

clump Of underwood; a giant of veg
etable, with red column as big as a
cottage, and n wide shadow around In
which a company could have man
euvered. IT was conspicuous far to sea
both on the east and west, and might
have been entered as n sailing mark
upon the chart,
But it was not it's size that now i'm
pressed my companions; 1t was the
knowledge that 100000 in gold lay
somewhere buried below it's spread
ing shadow. The thought of the
money, as they drew nearer, swallowed
up their previous ter1ors. Their eyes
burned in their heads; their feet grew
speedier and lighter; their whole soul
was bound up in TINT fortune, that
whole lifetime of extravaganza and
pleasure, that lay waiting there for
each of them.
Silver hobbled, granting, on his
crutch his nostrils stood out and quiv-
cred; he cursed like a mailman when
the flies settled on his hot and shiny
countenance; he plucked furiously at
the line that held me to him, and, from
|
with n deadly look. Certainly he took
no pains 10 hide his thoughts; and ccr-
tainly l read them like print. In the
immediate nearness of the gold, all
else had been forgotten; his promise
and the doctors warning were both
things of the past; and / could not
doubt that he hoped to seize upon the
treasure, find and board the Ills
PAMELA" under cover of night, cut every
honest throat about that island, and sail
away as he had at first intended, laden
with crimes and riches.
Shaken rs l was with these alarms,
it was hard for me to keep up with the
rapid pace of the treasure hunters.
Now and again I tumbled; and it was
then that Silver plucked so roughly at
the rope and launched at me his muir
derous glances. Dick. who had dropped
behind us, and now brought up the
rear, was babbling to himself both
prayers and curses, as his fever kept
rising. This also added to my wretch
edness, and, to crown all, was haunted
by the thought of the tragedy that had
once been acted on that plateau, when
that ungodlv buccaneer with the blue
face--he who had died at Savannah,
singing and shouting for drink-had
there, with his own hand, cut down
his six accomplices. This grove, that was
now so peaceful, must then have rung
with cries, l thought; and even with
the thought | could believe | heard it
ringing still.
We were now at the margin Of the
thicket
"Huzza. mates. altogether" shouted
Merry; and the foremost broke into q
run.
And suddenly, not ten yards further,
we beheld them stop. il low cry arose.
Silver doubled his pace, digging away
with the foot of his crutch like one
possessed, and next moment he and
had come also to a dead halt.
Before us was a great excavation,
not very recent, for the sides had fallen
in and grass had sprouted on the bot
tom. In this were the shaft of a pcl.
broken in two and the boards OF sew
eral packing cases strewn around. On
one of these boards saw, branded with
n hot iron. the name "Walrus"-.he
name of Flints ship.
All was clear to probation. The
cache had been found and rihed-the
100000 were gone!
