The South has never stopped to think
how much money In wasted In planting
each cotton crop. Let us figure II out
and zee. Upon O safe estimate not Less
than 100, 900 tons Of cotton e arc
used each spring In planting. The seed
- 0own lavishly in drills-not dropped
at certain distances. as corn-aid after
the plants are up the crop II thinned
with q hoe. more than nine-tenths Of
the young plants being cut out.
Here we ind that the seed . In
planting the cotton crop would bring In
the market at least IS. 400. 900. As nine
tenths Of this Ii wasted. we see here q
total waste Of over five and one-hah
million dollars ($5. 760. 000.)
Il II time for the cotton growers OF
the South to call q halt to this eN-
travagance. The old system Of sowing
cotton seed In the drill Is a remnant Of
the times when cotton seed was :lmost
worthless. Since then their value has
80 much enhanced that a change should
be made in the ann Of planting. In
stead Of sowing the seed In drills DROP
them at q distance wanted. and by fol-
lowing this method not only the labor
Of thinning Is saved. but nearly 10000
tons Of good cotton seed Is saved for
commercial use, and the farmers OF the
South are Ave million dollars richer.
.SThe Caldwell Cotton Planter saves
the seed plants and gives good stand
with one peck to acre. saves enough
seed to gay for itself In one season.

tute for wisdom is silence.

Consider what must be involved In
the truth that God Is infinite, and
that you are a part Of his plans.
Be not discouraged at broken aud
spoiled resolutions but to 1t and to II
again!
He who has q perfect love Of God
can have no more hatred Of any oil
His creatures than God Himself has.
The power Of winning and holding
the kindly regard Of Others Is one OF
the most precious gifts OF God, and Is
the means Of q large influence for
good.
The desire for God, and bis glory,
and favor, the desire to be like Him
which comes from setting Him al
ways before us is u preventive of the
desire for self.
Let US leave anxieties to God. Why
need we bargain that our lives should
be o success, still less that it should
not be q success purchased by sac
rifices and s%ufferings?
Never was q sincere thought utterly
Loaf. Never q m~agnanimity fell TO the
ground, but there Is some heart to
greet aud accept 1t unexpectedly,
And it IL q fact that one never sins,
breaking even the least Of Gods COM
mandments, that the heart Of the
great and loving Father does not
yearn over him and long for his re-
turn.
The human C il divided into two
~classes-those who 60 ahead and do
something and those who sit still and
inquire, why wasn't ii done the
other way"
We need more /, this world than
the calm Of quiet circumstances. We
may have that and yet be In q tempest
OF unrest. What We need Is soul rest,
and none but Jesus can give us that.
Every one experienced In dealing
with temptation knows that the fuller
glOries Of Gods truth are needed for
delivering the soul from the power of
Satan's mightiest attacks.
IT Is sweet and good to live, but how
much aweetrr and better when we
know that what we call death will be
merely q letting 90 of that which we
III hold no longer-a casting off Of
that which can no longer serve us.
Let us think before We speak, since
the words We must speak must enter
into the life of the world and make 1t
worse or better. and If we err OH either
side, err In gentleness aud tenderness
and love.
Nothing car lessen the dignity Of
humanity so long IN the religion of
love, Of unselfiihness, and of devotion
endures, and none a destroy the al
tars OF this faith for US 80 long AZ we
feel our selves capable Of love.
