The outlook for the horse industry
was never before more promising.
With the progress of national develop
ment has materially increased de-
mand for horses So pronounced has
been the enlarged use of horses for
the past five years that domestic con-
sumption has nearly exhausted the sup
ply. The surplus is SO light that
prices have remained nominally sta
tionary, while other classes of live
stock have declined in value material
ly. All the modern Industrial develop
ments of civilized nations were made
possible by the use of horses, and the
future demand promises to be Of in
creased proportions. Horses for gen.
eral utility use are indispensable, and
as nations advance in wealth and af-
fiuence the demand for horses is inteH-
sified. There are no substitutes to
eliminate the noble equine in his
sphere of usefulness in the progress of
mankind. The equine fashion of the
twentieth century will be repeated in
the succeeding cycle and the future OF
the industry is brilliant with encour-
aging promise. The breeder who raises
good horses of any commercial class
is assured of stable and remunera-
tive market for his surplus and has ev-
cry encouragement 10 intelliegntly ex-
plot the industry.-Drover' Journal.

The wiser Plan.

AS the time is here to plan for the
next crop, it is we'll for all farmers to
be reading and studying all agricul-
tural journals and exercising their own
fertile brains to be able to plan and
execute plans wisely. fear the price
cotton has reached IN the last few
weeks, will be instrumental in a great
measure to our farmers adopting sui
cidal policy (that of all cotton to tho
exclusion of all other crops). Now, OF
all times as / see it, is for each and
every planter to think and act well his
part and keep a cool head, and use his
mathematics right, make a living at
home, plant corn, peas, sorghum,
wheat, oats, peanuts, everything that
man and beast eats, raise hogs, live at
home; make cotton surplus crop Tor
in other words a side issue). II we act
wisely and do this the crop of cotton
will be large enough to extend the de-
mand and we will be sure of a good
price. besides we will not need so
much money with out smoke houses
and corn cribs at home (the natural
place for them to be on the farm)-

Important Announcement to Rectal
Sufferers.


For 81 years Drs. Thornton & Minor,
the well-known Kansas City Rectal Spe-
cialists, have been treating Piles, Fistula
and Diseases of the Rectum on q posi-
tive guarantee. which required no money
till cured, and we are pleased to an
nounce that this famous institution hes
now opened = branch Office at 1850 Oli1e
Street, St. Louis. Mo. The ST. Louis
Office win be fully equipped to admin
lister the wonderfully successful Thornton
& Minor system of treatment, and one OF
the members of the firm. with two assist
ants, will be stationed at St. Louis per-
manently from this time forth. Those who
have not investigated the Thornton & Minor
system of treatment should write at once
for their 232-page illustrated treatise on
Diseases of the Rectum, which is mailed
free and postpaid to all afflicted. They also
mail a 10S-page book for Ladies, and as
these books contain the names of thousands
of men and women prominent throughout
this section of the country who have been
cured by Drs. Thornton & Minor, it would
certainly pay anyone suffering to get these
books and thoroughly investigate by writ
ing to some of the many people who have
been cured in years past. They positively
accept no money until the patient is salts
fed that permanent cure has been effected.
Read their advertisement in another part

FUN ON A STREET CAR.
And This Nonsense Was Heard in
the Sedate and Sensible City
of Philadelphia

On Walnut street car the other day,
says the Philadelphia Record, two women
who evidently knew each other but slight
ly struck up this conversation: why,
Mrs. Brown! How dye do:" How dye
do, Mrs. Green? ! wasn't sure it was you
at first" "Yes, it's me, all right. How's
Mr.. Brown" "Oh, he's all right. How,s
Mr.. Green?" He's all right, too. HJw's
the children" They're all right. Hows
yourn?" They're all right"
There was slight pause, as though
neither knew what to say net. Suddenly
one had an inspiration. She glggled a
minute and then said: Say, my husband
asked me the other day what your first
name was, and to save my soul l couldn't
tell him. What is it?"
Then it was the other woman's turn to
giggle. why, it's Millicent," she said.
Mhlicent? How do you spell it," 'Oh,
it's an easy name. M-lll-i-c-e-n-t." "Well,
you can't never say you amt got cent
TO your name, can you?"
A scream of laughter followed this wit
tieism, and they began to slap each on the
wrist.

OVER PRODUCTION.
A Course That Will Ruin Any Busis
ness-4 Hint to Southern
Cotton Planters.

Several years ago spirits of turpen-
tine went down to "a cents. Naval
operators were doing losing business.
They called convention, and resolved
to curtail the next crop Of boxes rs
per cent. The naval factors served no
tice on all operators that unless they
complied with this agreement, no finan-
cial aid would be extended them. The
result was spirits of turpentine went
up to 35 cents the next spring. 1t has
been going up ever since, and the naval
operators have grown rich.
This ought to be an object lesson for
the farmers right at this time. 1t
teaches that over-production will ruin
any business in the world. 1t applies
as much or more to cotton than any
thing else. The farmers have had les
sions along this line in the years that
have gone by.
Many of them were bankrupted, and
all suffered great pecuniary depres-
sion. They are just now recovering
from the effects of their own folly. II
the reports which reach us from all sec
tions be true, they are preparing to re-
peat history. AS Sam Jones would put
1t, they are preparing to "act the fool
again. Fifteen cents cotton is causing
them to lose their heads.
The farmer who plants a large cot
ton crop and a small grain crop, and .
small grain crop always means small
meat crop, is going to ''hit the grit, "
and hit it hard There is but one safe
rule, raise an abundance Of hog and
hominy and moderate cotton crop.
Keep the cotton crop inside OF 10,-
000, 900 bales, not over 10,500,000 bales
at the outside. Do this, and they will
live at home and obtain fancy prices
for their cotton next fall.
Every individual farmer has a part
to play, namely, plant all the corn that
he can fertilize and cultivate well.
Save all the hay that grows on his
farm. Make potatoes and everything
else that will feed man or beast, and
be sure to keep his cotton crop within
the proper bounds. A blind man ought
to see it.-Cor. Southern Cultivator.

BITS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
Odd Items of Information Which the
Busy Housewife May Find
Useful.

Discolored pewter, says the House
Beautiful, may be cleaned in a brine
formed of salt and sand Another meth
cd advocated by the same authority is
to boil the pewter for two or three hours
In copper vessel filled with water, in
which peck of wood ashes, two pounds
of soda-washing soda, presumably
and an armful of hay have been added.
After the pewter has been boiled it is
secured with wisp of hay saturated
with silver sand. The metal is after
wards rinsed and dried. This seems
more troublesome than to send the
pewter to a professional scourer. but
one of the marks of true amateur is
the desire to restore precious things to
their original beauty unaided.
Too much starchy food is eaten In
many households Potatoes are served
with every meal, and they are usually
mashed or boiled. 1t is well to substi-
tute rice, hominy. and macaroni for po-
tatoes two or three times week at the
very least. and better still to omit any
of these at many meals. Fried hominy
Is a delicious substitute for potatoes
when chicken is served. Boil the hom-
my in the usual way, pour it into a
shallow dish to cool, and slice into pieces
half an inch thick. Flour lightly, and
fry in chicken fat or butter and drip
pings This is an excellent breakfast
or luncheon dish, served with maple

BABES HATS ARE TEMPTING


Those mothers to whom there is no
temptation in extrayagant millinery
models for themselves find them ire
sistible as they are displayed for wee
maids of from two to five years. The
fascination of dainty baby face seen
from under one of the huge mountains
of ruff1es and lace known as the Lingerie
hat" is hundred times enhanced in ad-
miring feminine eyes-and once let a lit
tie two-year-old smile with baby con-
sciousness of approval from under one
of these elaborate affairs, and the sight
is more than the ordinary mother can
resist, says the Chicago Tribune
There are several new things in these
bonnets this year besides the fact that
they are made with more and more ruff
fies and frills. The practical little
Marseilles hat in which the crown but
tons to the brim is hardly seen, and, like
the simple white gown" the simple
lingerie bonnet" has become an expen-
siye luxury In most cases. Mulls, en-
broideries, valenciennes, and batistes
are the materials most popular, made
with elaborate ribbon trimming, which
is usually carried over into the lace and
tucked In above the hair In little bunch
of loops or few dainty rosebuds into
which the ribbon is deftly transformed.
A new note is seen in the black velvet
ribbon, which is much used. One of the
prettiest hats is made with a shirred
crown and two deep embroidery frills,
held in around the crown with black
velvet ribbon band with loops and long
ends. A new shape is wide scoop, short
in the back, so that it can be bent up into
a bonnet or worn wide as hat.
Point d'esprit with knife plated ruffies
is a novelty which is finished with tiny
bands of baby ribbon. and another new
thing is a round fiat hat made almost
entirely of pink or blue silk NULL Over
this is fitted circular piece of the thin
nest white batiste with lace inserts,
which can be removed for laundering
and tackled on as desired.
"Sunburned" straw pokes, with large
crowns and heavy curved brims, are
lined with pale blue shirred mulls and
fitted with pompons and strings of the
same. These are worn by the littlest
babies, and also by tots of five and six.
