4 Cotton Growing system.

My plan for preparing land for cot
to plant follows:
Break the land thoroughly in the
fall or winter when the ground is not
too wet. Pulverize with a disc harrow
in February or March. On April the
lst lay off rows 3k to 5 feet apart,
quality or fertility OF land considered.
1. fertilizers are used, SOW about 400
pounds of A No. 1 cotton guano in the
drill. Ridge on same with two burrows
after the danger of frost is passed.
Split the middles, run a V-shaped har-
row on the tops of beds, hen plant
with a good planter, about n bushel
of good early-maturing seed per acre.
AS soon as it up, run around it
with a rake, chop to a stand, leaving
n to two stalks in a hill, with IS
inches to three feet between the drills.
Side as soon as chopped In 10 to IA
days repeat siding and chopping, un-
ming pillow deeper than the first siding.
Split the middles, and in II to ii days
side again. In 10 or IL days split the
middleS again and lay by.
In case the land is very rich and in
clined to run to weed, l would use
more acid phosphate and potash, and
a very small quantity of ammoniated
manures. Plant the early varieties of
cotton always, when to be- had. Of
course there are some good kinds of
late cotton, but if you can get a July
crop, you are safe, generally speaking,
for a good crop. The staple of the
early varieties is generally good, q
to IL inches long. Cotton can be side
dressed with nitrate of soda so pounds,
or cereolite 100 to $50 pounds per acre,
about the LIST of July in siding furrow,
and to great advantage some years.

THE FARMERS GARDEN.
Spring is Not Far Away and thu
Farmer Should BE Thinking
About His Garden.

And now for spring! To be sure, it
Is not quite here, but the rapidly
frightening days and the sun away up
at noontime is good evidence that it
is not far away. In a few days the
bluebirds will be here, then the robbins,
and one after another all the other
spring and summer favorites. We will
have cold days and FROSTY and possibly
snow storms, before spring is fairly on,
but a fellow can't help looking long
ingly at the old familiar tools he is
almost aching 10 get to work with.
About the first thing the sensible,
practical, down-to-date farmer thinks
of is the garden. He knows that hot
days and hard work are coming, and
that he must have a change Of diet to
enable him to do what he hopes to do.
He must eat more vegetables and less
fat meat to keep in a healthy condi-
ton, and these vegetables must come
from the garden. Now is the time to
prepare for it. | have found it a good
and very helpful plan to draw a plat
of the garden On a piece of paper, and
indicate by lines where each variety of
vegetable shall be planted. One can
easily ascertain the length and breadth
The Tupelo journal., 1904-03-04
of the garden plat, and by a little fig
uring can fix the matter to a nicely.
The western Limit of cotton.

The semi-tropical habits of cotton
have caused us to consider it fitted
only to the humid or heavy rain belt
OF the Gulf states. But a change is
rapidly coming about. The semi-arid
west is growing cotton abundantly.
The pods or bolls pop open in Septem-
Der upon the prairies of west Texas,
Oklahoma and the Indian territories
like popcorn on a hot shovel. And
this cotton is made with less labor
per acre than elsewhere. The staple
is good; the boil weevil has not invad-
ed these regions. The rains of May
and June come just when cotton
needs 1t, and the summer rains are so
far apart they do not encourage crab
grass.
In company with Messrs. Sterley
and Gibson of the Fort Worth &
Denver road, and Mr.. Oswald Wilson,
of Fort Worth, a Farm and Ranch rep
resentative visited Iowa park and
Wichita Falls on the neal edge of the
great Panhandle to the greater pan.
We advised these people to plant cot
ton and diversity the single crop of
wheat or cattle to which they are ac-
customed by resorting to the feecy
staple. Since that visit the entire
country neal the rail road has taken
up the cotton-growing idea. Carloads
of improved seeds have been ordered
for spring planting, and the results
will be seen in thousands of bales of
cotton grown on those fertile, chocolate
lands. In Oklahoma, which has a
family to every 100 acres of land, the
people are adapting the new cotton
culture radically and in all its details.
This, too, is a good cotton country.
and should no very unfavorable sea
son occur the yield of cotton from
Texas and Oklahoma and the Indian
territory will easily exceed 1900, 900
bales in 1904.-Farm and Ranch.

HERE AND THERE.

How quickly the millennium would
come if we would only do the good
things. to-day that we are going to do
tomorrow.
The soil for Irish potatoes next
spring should be deeply and thoroughly
plowed now, or as 500 as convenient,
and the sooner it is convenient the bet
ter.
Utility" is coming more and more
| to be the w%atchword of American poul-
trymen. Good laying and choice mar
ket fowls seem 20 be the aim of ar in

Vegetables must be used when they
reach the proper stage of maturity,
and for this reason truck gardeners
Should organize in an effort to build
| up a regular market for their produce.
Secretary Wilson in a recent inter-
view said, Good crops insure the ma

The so-called egg breeders are COM
paratively small in size, active and OF
a nervous temperament. They are great
foragers and we'll calculated to secure
a portion of their living when given
free range.
Forty years ago the farmers owned
IS per cent. of the wealth of this cOun-
try. but such has been the advance OF
manufacturing and railroad building
that they now own but % per cent,
though there has been no decline in
agricultural values.
In December, 1903, through Gal
weston alone, we exported 1851 tons
! of cotton seed meal and 943 IONS Of

went to Germany, Holland and France.
During the year just passed o than
1900, 900 sacks of cotton meal and cake
went through the port Of New Orleans.

WHEN TRAVELLING ALONE.
Woman of Experience Gives Advice
for the Benefit of the Tn
initiated.

My plan for locating in a strange place,
especially when it sayors of a foreign
country, is to ask the purser or steward
which is considered the best family ho-
tel. Then, on arrival, to wait until the
first rush of landing is over, thus avoid
ing the confusion which reigns supreme
at such times, says a writer in Woman's
Home Companion. Standing quietly
back, the excited endeavors of the crowd
to hurry all the officials into attending
to them first affords much amusement
and furnishes a study OF the routine of
things. When you finally do 60 down
the gangway you know which way to
turn, can walk up to the carriage or ON
nibus bearing the name of the hotel, and
be driven to the door, without any hag-
Cling with cabmen or fuss of any kind.
Having reached the hotel. tell the porter
who takes your bag 10 show you TO the
parlor for ladies. Then write on your
card: please assign me a room; price
not to exceed three dollars a day" A
bell-boy will 500 return with a key, and
conduct you to the elevator. What if it
does shoot you up to the top floor to a
small room? You are not going to stay
there long, and it's pretty sure to have
a good bed and plenty of towels.
This plan of mine may seem extrava-
giant at first, but consider the advantages
you see one of the best hotels, always
worth a visit in such places: you can ex-
anime local papers and guidebooks in
the reading room. and get at the ad-
dresses of private boarding houses and
smaller hotels, easily locating their
whereabouts.

Eggs Produced From Food.

If a hen is healthy and has a good
appetite nostrums can not improve
her. Eggs are not produced from
powders, pills or solutions, but from
the food. A healthy hen is no subject
for medicine or tonics. If she is sick
or dropping it is not out of place to
endeavor to assist her to ecove her
health with a tonic, but while her comb
is bright red and she scratches and
works vigorously, enjoying her food
and laying eggs as fast as nature per-
mits, the use of stimulants or tonics
will not benefit her or enable her to
lay another egg more than she would
injure her.-Farmers' Home Journal.

The Most Common Disease.

Yorktown, Ark, Feb. 29th.-Leland
Williamson, M. d., a successful and clever
local physician, says:
There is scarcely another form of dis
ease a physician is called upon so often
to treat as Kidney Disease. l invariably
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills and am not
disappointed in their effect for they are
always reliable. | could mention many
cases in which l have used this medicine
with splendid success, for example, I
might refer to the case of Mr.. A. III. Cole.
Age 81, greatly emaciated, some fever,
great pain and pressure over region OK
Kidneys, urine filled with pus or corrup-
ton and very foul smelling and passed
some blood. Directed to drink a great
deal of water, gave brisk pu,rgative and
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The pills were on
tinued regularly for three weeks and then
a few doses every week, especially if pa
tent felt any pain in region of Kidneys.
Cured completely and patient performed
his duties as farm laborer in four weeks
DR.. Williamson has been a regular prac-
tltioner for over twenty years, and his
unqualified endorsement of Dodd's Kidney
Pills IS certainly a wonderful tribute to
this remedy

CULINARY CONCERNS.
Several Suggestions Which May BE OF
Value to the Inexperienced
Cook.

Vanilla cream frozen very hard is the
foundation of a very good dessert. Scoop
up the cream in ball molds and roll in
shredded c%ococanut. Serve with a sau-
terne sauce made as follows: Boil one
cupful of sugar and a half cupful Of wa
ter to a syrup. When partly cooled,
pour in a claret glassful Of sauterne. The
sauce may be colored a delicate green.
In winter, when all fods are high, nu-
tritious cream soups help out the menu
wonderfully, and are economical besides.
Split pea soup is an old standby, but not
every one knows how good cream of
lima beans is. Soak a cupful of dried
beans over night, and in the morning
drain and put over the fire with two
quarts of water. Cook until the beans
can be pressed through a fine colander
or a sieve. Cook a small onion and two
or three pieces of carrot in plenty of but
ter until they are brown. Remove the
vegetables, and add to the butter an
equal quantity of -four, and some pepper
and salt. AS the roux thickens, moisten
with a little of the bean PURGE. Add the
roux to the beans, stir In a cup of cream
or rich milk, strain and serve with cru
tons.
Good maple sugar is hard to get in city
markets and not very easy to find even
in the sugar districts. The temptation
to adulterate seems to be too strong for
most people to withstand. Many de-
licious dishes are made with maple ugar,
among them maple mousse. Whip a
pint OF cream to a stiff mound, with a
tablespoonful of powdered sugar, which
will help to thicken the cream. Add a
cupful OF maple syrup. made in the house
from pure sugar, and flavor with lemon.
Beat well, put in a mold with a sheet
of parafine paper over the top before the
GOV is put on. pack in ice, and salt and
freeze. Serve in sherbet glasses.
Maple filing for cake is very good.
Shave a sufficient quantity of maple su-
gar, and cook it with half a cup of wa
ter to the thread. Remove from the fire
and beat until cool. then add the beaten
white of an egs and two or three table,
spoonsfuls of powdered sugar. Chopped
nuts are often added to this filing.
Toasted Goldfish is a New England
breakfast dish. Cut the salt fish into
thin strips and freshen It. but not too
much. After drying the strips, put them
between the wires of a broiler and toast
until they are a light brown. Put them
on a hot platter and spread with butter.
