The Revival Of the Pinafore.

1t appears that the pinafore Is to be
fashionable once more, and manufacturers
are trying to make the new models as
dainty and charming as possible. For chill

yoke is cut either square or round. but
in either case is well hidden under revers

Among all foreign languages the classi-

to the very structure of these languages,
to the fact that. being dead they are the

LANGUAGE STUDY.
Training in the Art and Science of In
depreciation.

From the Forum.
An Indispensable part Of truly liberal
education consists OF training In the sci
ence and art OF Interpretation. Language
Is the distinctively human means OF COM
munication a knowledge OF language
which is essentially different from that
possessed by the fluent speaker Of several
languages Is absolutely essential to the
precise and satisfactory Interpretation Of
any language. Language is the form In
which the highest expression OF human
thought and feeling came to the individual
man and to the succeeding generations OF
men. Language is. therefore. the essential
form of what call literature. in the
widest meaning of that word. The In
depreciation Of language must be studied
as "a training In the science and art OF in
depreciation, or else the accurate ana com
prehensive knowledge OF the best thoughts.
feelings and activities OF humanity Is shut
out OF the mind.
To acquire the science and art OF in
depreciation. the prolonged and careful
study OF some one language Is absolutely
Indispensable. Such a study OF one Ian
guage IS not only Indispensable but 1t Is
sufficient for the average college student
For this purpose IT Is even far better to
concentrate upon one language than to
divide the time among three or four Ian
guages. He who knows one language in
this way knows something which cannot
be otherwise acquired about all Ian
euages. about language as such. He Is
prepared not only to acquire with a largely
Increased facility any language which he
chooses TO acquire but to use that Ian
guage intelligently and skillfully tho key
to unlock the stores Of literature which 1t
may contain.
Such study of language as shall re-
suit in training in tho science and art
OF Interpretation cannot easily be conduct
Cd otherwise than in q language foreign
to the student. Indeed. I very much doubt
whether it is possible to impart any con-
siderable degree Of this kind Of culture

There were thirteen prisoners in the Po-

Such men, it was said, get clients and turn
them over to members of the bar and thus
cause the payment of two fees. The dis

The defendants. comprising seven white

towns last winter no butter could
be had excepting Northern butter.
All the butter made in the Piedmont
region of the Southern States by
the small farmers was bought up by
a concern in Washington, D. c.,
was worked over and sold as reno
waited butter at a high price. You
see the farmers should have gotten
these high prices, but as the goods
were not put up in an attractive
style they were sold at a low figure.
1t should be the aim of every farm
er to get all he can out of his pro-
ducts and the only way to do it is
to cater to the tastes of the public.

Valuable Bulletin for Apple Growers.


The Progressive Farmer has been
favored with an advance copy of a
valuable bulletin on "The Apple"
now being sent out from the North
Carolina Experiment Station. 1t
includes a discussion on propagat-
ing, planting, pruning and culture
of apples; kinds grown in and best
suited to the different parts of the
State; packing and preparing ap
pies for market; how to utilize the
surplus apple crop, and directions
for making cider vinegar.
This bulletin has been prepared in
response to a very large demand
for information on the subject and
will prove interesting and valuable
to the large number of apple grow
ers already in the State, as well as
to those who are preparing to begin
the culture of apples on a CONNER
cial scale, as we'll as for home con-
sumption.
A bulletin will follow this one in
a very short time treating of the in
sect enemies and fungous diseases
of the apple, with methods of com
batting them.
This Bulletin on the apple will go
to the regular mailing list to which
the monthly Bulletin of the Depart
ment of Agriculture is now sent,
there having been published $4,000
copies for this purpose, and to sup
ply others who may request it.

HARRY FARMERS TALKS.
CXVIII.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Farmers, as a class, do not take
pains enough in packing fruit and
vegetables. We read a few days ago
where one farmer received one dol
lar per crate more for his strawber-
ries than his neighbors by spending
little extra in fancy labels, etc.,
which cost him a cent or two per
crate and little extra work. Does
it pay Well, if you get one dollar
per crate over the ordinary market
price and get IS to 100 crates of
berries per acre, it would pay a tre-
mcndous profit. Study your market
and see what people buy the quick
est. Looks count for much with
most people.
Try 70 please your home market.
Many people often wonder why their

11,O78,8 ,882 BALES OF 1902 COTTON.

The Figures Show an Increase Over the
Average for Four Years of 288, ,288
Bales-There are 80, 588 Ginneries.
The Census Office last week made
public the final figures of the cotton
production obtained from the rep
resentatives of cotton ginners. The
quantity of cotton ginned from the
growth of 1902, exclusive of Inters,
amounted to 11,O78,882 running
bales. Bales as pressed at the gin
neries are equal to 1O,63O,945 bales
of a 5OO-pound standard, or counting
round bales as half bales 1O,588, ,25O.
During the four years covered by
the ginning reports of the Census
Office the average crop, exclusive of
inters, has been 9,5O2,277 bales of
500 pounds. The crop of 1902 shows
an increase of 278,288 bales over this
average, while the crops of 1899 and
1901 show a decrease of 556,886 and
392, ,532 bales, respectively.
The per cent of the country's pro-
duction grown in 1902 east and west
of the Mississippi was 53.6 and 464,
respectively, against 47.2 and 52.8
in 1900. To show the extent of the
reduction in the cotton crop in Tex
as it is shown that whereas in 1900
that State produced 81 per cent of
the entire crop of the United States
or about one-quarter of the cotton
supply of the world, in 1902, the
Texas product was only little over
% per cent of the entire product
of this country.
The States showing the most
noticeable increases in production
in 1902, are Arkansas, Georgia,
Louisiana and Mississippi. The in
crease in Arkansas is remarkable,
being more than 81 per cent over
the total reported from the smallest
crop-that of 1899-and 157 7,227, or
over 10 per cent over that of 1900,
the largest crop prior to that of
1902. There was also a large in
crease in the production Of Indian
Territory and Oklahoma. The com
bined crops of these Territories for
1902 we're 545, 1882 bales, as compared
with 215,591 bales for 1899, an in
crease of 329,791 bales, or 153 per
cent.
The figures on the ginning indus
try show that there are 3O,588 gin
neries in the United States. The
average number Of bales ginned per
active establishment in Texas was
563, in Indian Territory 855, and in
Oklahoma 993; against 254 in Ala
bama, POP in Georgia and 2O6 in
North Carolina. The great differ
ence in the average number of bales
handled per establishment is due to
