Ladies Rs1sing Money to Improve
 Graded scAesl Bailains.
 Greensboro. Dec. s.--(special.)- )-rhs ladies of the Improvement Association, are untiring in their efforts to raise funds for improving the graded school building. The chrysanthemum show for this purpose was a great success, and about $66 was realized. Mrs. Thomas R. Wards chrysanthemums were the handsomest on exhibition and she had one white bloom, which measured thirty-one inches in cifcum- ference. Last night the Verdenburg Concert Company of Tuscaloosa gave a performance for the benefit of the graded school and a good sum was made. At Mrs. w. W. Overstreet's on Tues day evening the Literary and Scientific Association enjoyed 8 meeting of un- usual interest. The hostess told in a most delightfully."- instructive manner Qf Catherine the 1st and her great work for Russia.
 Dr. R. Fletcher Monette discussed Russia in the medical world, ably and entertainingly.
 Miss Shelby Garretts paper on Petes the Great was much complimented.
 
 Greenboro's literati, including minis ters of several churches. lawyers, phy- siciahs. editors and professors of tsse Southern University in addition to quits a number of ladies. Their work is always thoroughly prepared and is often of high literary merit. Colonel and Mrs. L. J. Lawson entef- tained recently at dinner in honor of Miss Ciisby of Montgomery.
 Greensboro has at last a woman's Exchange. It is a venture, in so small a town. but so far is doing we'll.
 Miss Mabel Spruance of Sheffield. Mrs. Charles Poellnitz's guest Is being entertained continually during her stay here. At Giencairn a card party was given in her honor, on Tuesday night. Dr. and Mrs. J. P. Borden entertained her at a house party. at their country home few days since.
 She was also honored during the week by a "'possum hunt" and a horse- back party.

had in view is so to diversity our crops and our agricultural industries that we
 shall not depend for a living exclusive ly on cotton, and, in the next place. to intensity our methods of cotton culti- vation so that the area in cotton may be considerably reduced without neces- sarily greatly decreasing the total mum Der of bales produced. We need to increase the variety of our farm prod ucts. We should be able to get larger
 revenues than at present from sales of
 mules, horses. beef cattle, butter cheese tnow that the experiment sta
 tions have discovered that the curing
 of cheese can be effected in cold stor- age). cream. wool. mutton, poultry,

 realize that there are dificuities in
 the way. Every difhcuity in the way
 of producing these articles can be overcome by the intelligent farmer who
 has a mind to inform himself. The greatest obstacles are not in produc" ton. but in distribution-that is. In finding a sure and unfiuctuating market for what the farmer has to sell. Here the individual alone Is almost helpless. The one thing that he cnn do is to try U make d Detter dTtlCle LII tlc eutic kind than anyone else, and so superior that 1t will always command a sale. This Is quite possible with many ar ticles, but practically 1t helps only the few besf-informed farmers, leaving un- aided the great mass who most need help.
 Selling is fully half of farming, when agriculture becomes highly intensive | and diversified. The, solution lies in such cooperation in marketing as will enable the body of co-operating farm | CTS to employ the best business talent in shipping and selling their minor products. The necessity of co-opera-
 ton. the practicabiIity of cooperation. and the steps to be taken to bring about cooperation are lessons that our farmers must learn If they are to reap the full rewards of their labors Attendance on conventions of farmers | will do much to promote the spirit of
 cooperation as we'll as to fill one with facts from the experience of others that will make the learner a better farmer.

Rice Bran as a Feed for Horses ana
 Mules.

A most important and valuable bull 1etin (No. I'D has been issued by the Louisiana Experiment Station on the subject of "Rice-Its History; the Preparation of the Soil; Planting. Flooding. Harvesting; Noxious Weeds and Rice Polish. and the Determine ton of Disestible Nutrients" The pamphlet occupies nearly 100 pages of excellent reading matter, and the re- suits recorded are of the greatest value to both the planter of rice and the stock feeder. The results given show the combined work of Dr. W. c. Stubbs. Prof. W. R. Dodson and Dr. Chas. A. Browne, Jr.. all being prom inently connected with agricultural ex- pertinent work in Louisiana.
 Under the sub-heading, "The Feeding of Rice Products to Farm Animals" we quote the following from the bulletin: Rice polish is produced in much less quantity. and at its present high price 1t is a question whether 1t is an eco nomical feed for general purposes. It contains less protein and fat than the pure rice meal, and there are other cheaper materials. as molasses, which can supply any deficiency our rations may have in carbohydrates, without paying $20 or more per ton for the polish. Pure rice brain or meal, while not belon ging to the higher concen- trates. such as cotton seed meal or lin seed meal which have a high protein content, is excellently adapted as an adjunct to those more concentrated feeds, and in compromising any ration the Southern feeder will find 1t espe- cially useful.
 Rice bran has been fed with con- siderable success to horses and mules in Loufsia n and elsewhere in the South. pr. Browne. who had charge of this part of the work, gives a few examples of mixed rations for horses and mules containing rice bran. Such rauons should contain coarse fodder such as hay. in addition to the concen- trates. The general practice Is to use the coarse and concentrated feed in about equal proportions. The fol- lowing ought to meet needs of an ordinary farm mule, weighing 1900 pounds. and doing a heavy amount of work: Fifteen pounds crab-grass hay, eight pounds corn. eight pounds rice meal. one and a half pounds cot ton seed meal
 If leguminous hays (peavfne, alfalfa, iespedeza, etc.) are available. these may be used instead of cotton seed meal, to supply protein.
 Ration No. 2--Fifteen pounds alfalfa hay, eight pounds rice meal. two pounds corn, eight pounds mcIassss.

shorthorn. I'd A.hurr.

A shipment of fifty-four head of reg lstered Shorthorn cattle has recently arrived at the experiment station atAu- burn. They have already been inocu- lated by the veterinarian, Dr. Caryy with view to making them immune towards tick or acclimation fever.
 This lot consists entirely of young cattle, chiefly yearlings. The entire lot makes a creditable showing for the breed and some of the individuals are of special excellence.
 All of these cattle were shipped from Missouri and most of them are from the herds of J. T. Wornall and c. D. Bellows. MT. B. O. Cowan, secretary, is expected at Auburn very soon, and he will represent the owners in arrang- ing for the public sale which will take place at some time during the winter. It will be recalled that similar sale was held at Auburn last year by Gilt ner Brothers, of Eminence. Ky. breed CTS of Herefords. It is to be hoped that this second attempt to increase the number of high class thoroughbreds of the beef breeds will meet with a sup- accorded to the Herefords last year.
 J. F. D. An Important Meeting for Cotton
 Growers.
 A National Cotton Convention has been called to meet on December 12, IS, i4 and 15, at Shreveport. La. The prin- cipal purpose of this convention is to consider the boil weevil situation. We in Alabama cannot afford to hold aloof from participation in councils of this kind fer while the weevil is not yet among us. it is almost certain to be in Aiuhnrno vuffhtp more effective means of staying its pro- gress can be devised than have been applied in the past. The boil weevil ought to be as live a question in Ala bama as in Texas
 Our first aim of course should be to devise measures to stay the eastward advance of the insect and to keen 1t out of Alabama, even though our efforts should delay it's appearance in force for only q few years. A respite even of a few years would be worth millions of dollars. But we have another reason to be interested. We need to inform ourselves of the measures by means of which some of the best farmers in Texas find 1t possible to grow fairly good crops of cotton in regions in Texas where less progressive farmers can barely make one bale to eight to fifteen acres of cottn. It is better to get such information a few years be- fore we actually apply 1t than be a little too late in getting it.
 Again. if We are to have the bolI weev'i In Alabama. we should prepare Tor his coming. The preparation for which I plead is not that which can De made hurriedly. or after the out posts of the weevils have reached Ala bama. The only real and permanent preparation requires years, for it is nothing less than a change of our whole agricultural system. The aim to be

 Dear sir-Your recent letter asking about the sroYth of alfalfa in Alabama is at hand. This plant has proved a great success in the central prairie re- zion of Alabama lying near Selma. Montgomery, Uniontown, Demopolis and Livingston. I am sending my bull letin on alfalfa, and regret that my other bulletin on alfalfa. written for the Canebrake Experiment Station at Uniontown. is out of print.
