An investment that returns 10 per
cent of the amount put in will satisfy
most fnanciers, but the farmer some
times hesitates about the purchase OF
machinery that will maxi a return OF
25 per cent of its cost. Machinery that
is not needed is expensive at any price,
but very few farmers buy more than

Foot and Mouth Disease.

In recent treatment of foot and

results were had with outside use Of
sulphate OF iron. 1t was found that
the spread Of the disease could be
more effectively checked by this treat
ment than by any other method. The
affected animals We're sprayed with
a 20 per cent solution of sulphate of
iron. The mouth was washed with a
10 per cent solution Of the same chem
ical, and in acute cases u s per cent
solution was administered internally,
TO the amount of one and one-half
pints per day for adult animals and
half that quantity of az per cent. solu-
ton for calves. Complete recovery
was brought about, and the disease
was prevented from spreading.

PLACES II FAULT.

PLACES THE AOet
Having seen fit to express himself
on the %lynching question, President
Roosevelt, with the virility of express
sion and clearness of reasoning char
acteristic of the man, has done 30 in
q manner to command attention. Ear
nestly and seriously he discusses
cause and effect and dispassionately
argues from one to the other. While
not hesitating to acknowledge the
aWfulness of the most common crime
that leads to lynching-rape-he is
equally honest in his avowal of belief
that it is not more unpardnable
than the anarchy of mobs acting with
out a shadow of law, who by their
defiance of constituted order threaten
the very foundation of organized So
ciety and the instruments erected for
it's preservation. He shows that re-
sorting to brutality and savagery un-
der the pretense of avenging other
brutality and savagery should not be
countenanced, for they deile justice
and blunt the moral sensibilities OF
communities celebrating such excesses.
Anarchy, he we'll says, is the hand
maiden and %forerunner of tyranny,
and unless it is checked in time the
1ynching mania which seems to have
suddenly possessed the people OF
many localities will not end with the
mere torture and death of men gull
ty of a crime horrible beyond descrip-
ton, but will extend until only al
excuse, a pretense is needed to incite
the bloodthirsty and violent into the
commission of murder, preceded by
torture and cruelty savage in their in
genuity.
AS yet mobs act only under an i'm
pulse prompting them to mete out swift
and certain punishment to offenders
But if no %repressed the time is bound
to come when they will act under en-.
tirely different impulses, the impulses
that melted pagan Rome to the insti
suffering for the only purpose of graft
flying brutal instincts that gloried il
witnessing the agony of the helples!
and which brought those responsible,
for the blood that drenched the am
phitheatre to the level of the brut'
creation and deprived them of TIN
ability to ~sympathize with distress
a quality that distinguishes man iron
the beast.
Realizing the incentive that mob
have in taking upon themselves tn
power delegated to courts, Presiden
Roosevelt pleads earnestly for prompt
er action upon the part of the court
and their officers He would hav
swift and certain vengeance upo
criminals, without in any wa
infringing their rights to fair trial!
IN this respect he is like all others VIII

Lessen the Cotton Acreage.

l7t Lessen ING AONAOu fASTCsaES s NF 81
More live stock. more feed and less
cotton acreage, more cotton per acre
and a better price for it, is Il farm pol
lev so plainly in the interest of farmers
that there is no need of argument to
prove it, says Dallas Farm and Ranch.
"A single statement Of facts is all that
is necessary. Cotton is the most extern
sive staple grown in the south, and the
total yield Of one acre brings to the
producer less than 500 as an average,
out of which the farmer must pay at
least So for picking, besides the ex-
pense of ginning, baling and hauling.
Then there is hardly enough left to pay
for the labor of preparing the land and
planting and cultivating the crop.
There can be more clear profit realized
from a pair Of pigs, which can be
grown on half as much land. We
don't near that cotton should be aban-
doned, but that fewer acres should be
devoted to it, better cultivation given it
and better prices received for a smaller
crop. Some farmers (and these the
best ones) should abandon cott~.l alto
gether, because they can devote every
acre to more profitable crops. Others
must continue to grow cotton because
they don't know any other money crop.

It is small. We can then trim out
the branches as needed and do much

If we follow natures plan we will
have too dense a growth of branches
at the expense of fruit. The tree is
injured less by pruning where the
branches are small. "as the twig Is

CATTLE-There was not an excessive run
of cattle here today, and the market
showed very little change from the close
of last week Trading was not particularly
brisk. but at the same time a fairly early
clearance was made.
The quality of the beef steers on sale
was about the same as OF late and the
market could be quoted generally steady
Buyers, though, did not take hold with
much life, and some statesmen thought they
had hard time to get fully as good prices
as they received last week. AS a general
thing, though, there was no quotable
change in the market
Cows also sold in about the same notches
they did last Friday. The better grades
such as sell from $3.50 up, seemed to be in
the best demand, and Tor such kinds II
was an easy matter to get fully steady
prices. When IL came to the fair to me-
dium kinds and also the Gamers, the mar
ket was not very brisk and should be
quoted barely steady In fact, some sales
men were calling tine market a shade lower
on all but the best kinds.
Bulls, veal calves and stags sold at Just
about steady prices with the close OF last
week.
The stocker and feeder market was not
heavily supplied. Gnd as spectators are
looking for a good demand from the coun-
try this week they took mold quite freely
and bought up everything at all desirable
at steady to strong prices. good many
