The Century Magahna1sor 1904.

The Century for 1904 promises a
wealth of reading and pictures that
surpasses even the high standard
achieved during 1908. Perhaps
most notable of all the strong fea-
lures of the volume will be DIR. S.
Wen MitchelT's "The Youth of
Washington" told in the form of an
autobiography. 1t will be a daring
and unique piece of historical work,
written as if it were done by General
Washington himself, sitting down in
Mt. Vernon in his. old age and re-
cording, solely for his own eye, the
story of his youthful life. Then
there will be a series of articles on
Italian Villas and Their Gardens"
written by Edith Wharton and IL
Illustrated, largely in color, by Max
field Parrish. Ernest Thompson-Se-
ton has prepared "Fable and Wood
myth" brief papers in a new vein,
the illustrations in the authors
most Fantastic and amusing style.
Early numbers will bring John Bur
roughs's Current Misconceptions
in Natural History" Already have
commenced the important Thackeray
letters, telling the story of the great
novelist's friendship with the Bax-
ter family of New York, with fac
SMILES of manuscripts and drawings
by the author. Ray Stannard Baker,
whose articles on the Great North
west and the Great Southwest have
been leading and widely acceptable
features of recent volumes, will con-
tinue his notes on these regions; and
there will be valuable contributions
by Jacob A. Riis,Dr. James NJ. Buck
ley, and scores of other notable
writer's.

1t seer to have been unavailing. Eff
forts to eradicate the house fly would
be about as eficacious. The only
way to meet the evil, apparently, is
to plant early cotton and get in the
crop before the weevil has opportun-
ity to destroy it."

,ouiek Advance in Price Expected If
government Report Shows a Small
croo for the Season.
Cotton kept close to the figures of
the previous day yesterday, and the
rnIing price here was eleven and one
sixteenth.
The receipts were 1872 bales and
tbo prices ranged from 1918 to IL
ala this being within oDe-sixteenth
# the quotations of the previous
Jsv. A year ago 100 bales were sold
here at IA to Z 1915 cents a pound.
The market held strong during the
dow and the indications are hat
there will be little change in the
market to-day, it being certain that
Il cents and over will be paid for
the best cotton offered, with a mini
mum figure of 1914 to 1918 cents a
pound.
THE mill men in this section are
all buying for immediate delivery"
said a cotton buyer yesterday. "They
seem to think the price is going
down and they want this as they say
they can't manufacture at the pres
ent high price of cotton, while their
goods have not increased in price.
It must either go down or they must
get higher prices for their stuff so
as to get along"
But" said he, II think the price
may go up and if the rumor that the
government report to be made on
December 3rd, gives the present crop
at ten and one-quarter million bales,
then l would not be surprised to see
cotton Jump a cent a pound. The
receipts now are 225, 900 bales short
as against last year, but it must be
remembered that the crop is three
weeks late."-News and Observer,

MATCHING THE EARLY BIRD.
A Yearly Improvement in Price and
Market for Early Spring
Broilers.

It is coming to be more the case.
with each succeeding year, that the
cream of poultry profit is obtained
by Matching, raising and sending to
market the chickens that have come
to be commercially known as "broil-
ers." This term includes, In a gen.
eral way, birds that weigh from I
to 2A pounds at an age of from two
to four months. Of course, the
highest prices are obtained during
the early part of the season, say
from March to May. For this rea-
son fully GO per cent. of poultrymen
use the incubator exclusively, as it
enables them to regulate the a
and number of the hatch with
tire independence of the hen, who
need only furnish the eggs.
In the matter of incubators they
have been brought to a point where
they actually beat the hen at her
own game. Manufacturers have
closely studied the natural laws of
incubation, and followed them mi
nutely. In the machines made by
George II. Stahl, of Quincy, ILL.,,
known as the Excelsior and the
"Wooden Hen," every problem of
heat, moisture and ventilation has
been solved, and it is said they will
hatch a greater percentage of hatch
able eggs that the mother hen her
self under ordinary conditions. Five
minutes daily attention when in
operation is all they require. Every
one interested in poultry should
write George H. Stahl, Quincy, ILL.,,
for his free catalogue of I~ncubators
and Poultry Appliances. 1t is worth
having.

Origin Of Visiting Cards.

THE use of visiting cards dates back
to quite an antiquity" explains Mrs.
Van Koert Schuyler, in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Formerly the porter
at the lodge or door of great houses
kept visitors book, in which he
scrawled his idea of the names Of those
who called upon the master and his
family, and to whose inspection it was
submitted from time to time. One fine
gentleman, scion of the nobility from
the Faubourg st. German, was
shocked to find that his porter kept
SO poor register of the names of
those who had called upon him. The
names, badly written with spluttering
pen and pale or muddy ink, suggested
to him the idea of writing his own
name upon slips Of paper or bits Of
cardboard in advance of calling upon
his neighbors, lest his name should
fare as badly at the hands Of their
porters. This custom soon became
generally established" 0

Argument Did Not Applx,

The argument often made against
the views of President Eliot Of Har-
ward and Of President Roosevelt in
favor of large families is that it costs
too much to rear half a dozen children
nowadays. In the Primrose minstrsls
they tell story Of family named
Little to whom this argument did not
apply.
