FARMER PLANTER.
SOUTHERN DEVELOPMENTS.


The south is rapidly growing inde-
pendent. commercially, industria iy
and financially. 1t will soon begin to
grow rich, and with wealth this Sec
ton will resume Its political power In
the union.
As long as the southern states de-
pended wholly on the production Of
cotton and tobacco, her people re-
maincd poor. The farmer, who sells
the products Of his fields to buy the
necessaries Of life, lives from hand to
mouth and is virtually poor. When
our cotton and tobacco planters sent
their money out of their section in or
der to get money with which to buy
the neccssaries of life they pursued .
false policy.
The southern people could grow corn
and wheat in their own fields, but to
. large extent they sent away to dis
tant states for their bread. They could
raise cattle and hogs, but they brought
great part of their meat from north
ern states. They had vast virgin for
ests of the best timber for every pur-
pose, but they sent away for much of
their building material and for their
house furniture. Their hills and noun
tains were full of iron and coal, but
they got all their cutlery, farming ma
chinery and every article made OF
metal. either from old England or New
England. 1t was the same with their
clothing. They sent abroad the cotton
grown In their fields. had 1t manufac-
tured, paying freight both ways. and
brought it back in the form Of the
various fabrics for daily wear, with
out ever dreaming that they could
manufacture for themselves.
Such was the south from the days
when its states we're European colonies
until few decades ago. To-day all is
different. All of the American cotton
is grown south of the Ohio and Poto-
&C rivers, and vast deal Of it is spun
and woven near the cotton fields. The
south is developing its rich coal and
iron mines and its great timber re-
sources, and is feeding its people from
the products Of its own rich soil.
Wneat is grown IN ali tne soutnei" "
states, but most extensively In Texas
Indian territory and Oklahoma. Inc
south is pre-eminently the land Of
corn, and cattle and hogs are among
its important products. Rice, sugar,
sweet potatoes and fruits and vegeta-
bles are among its distinctive and
most valuable food supply.
But the cotton crop OF our southern
states has become one Of the most I'M
portant considerations in the world,
and to the whole world. The south to-
day possesses a monopoly of the
worlds cotton supply. Nowhere else
on the globe is this necessary article
Of almost universal use to be had in
orantitv and quality as are required.
The demand for cotton goods is in
creas,ng throuehout the earth. and al
though efforts are heing made in va
r,or. Countries to produce II in COM
rat,t,or tbe exneriment has failed.
Rut the weight of evidence is that,

OFFICIAL CUP OF COFFEE.
Proper Method Of Brewing the Bev-
erage to Be Determined in
Washington.

By direction of the secretary Of agri-
culture the bureau of plant industry is to
take up at once experiments to deter
mine the best manner in which to brew .
cup of coffee. To this end, Gays . WASH
ington report, 4. L. Lewton, a specially
trained expert, has been engaged. The
view of the department is that q cup Of
coffee is good because of the manner in
which it is brewed, rather than from the
quality of the bean from which the bev-
erage is made. 1t will be appreciated by
all persons acquainted with the art and
mystery of cofee-making that various con-
ditions, apparently trivial in themselves,
have to be taken into consideration in
producing the beverage.
For instance, in the process OF roasting
the. beans may be more or less damaged
by being under or over done, and the
flavor Of the coffee thus impaired to a
corresponding degree. Hence the necessity
for ideal conditions in roasting. Again, the
effects of water at various temperatures
upon the ground coffee and the proper
period for infusion will, for the first
time in the history of coffee-making, be
thoroughly and accurately ascertained.
The retention Of caffeine, the active
principle of coffee, to which it owes its
stimulating effects, and the elimination of
the caffeotannic and caffeic acids, which
are not only injurious to health, but COM
muncate an unpleasant, bitter taste to
the beverage, will be, Of course, the prin-
cipal objects.

Il may be claimed that the farmer uses
as much "shoddy" materials as the

considered from q cartain standpoint.
for the reason that they are used over

processes and serving many purposes.
There Is, in addition to the feeding
value Of materials, also a manural
value, and frequently the manuaral
value is greater than the purchase

Life Guards

The Life Guardsare two regiments
Of cavalry forming part of the
British household troops. They are
gallant soldiers, and every loyal
British heart is proud Of them. Not
only the Kings household, but
yours, ours, egerybody's should
have its life guards. The need Of
them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find
allies in the very elements as colds,
influenza, oatarrh, the grip, and
pneumonia do ia the etormy month
Of March. The best way that we
know Of to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system

MISS LILLIAN IRBY'S

Two Charming and Popular Visitors
From Clinton are Guests
OF Honor.

The young matrons and pretty girls
who compose that important ~organiza-
ton the euchre club seem to be vieing
with each other in entertaining this
Spring, the last party seeming always
a shade more elaborate and beautiful
in appointments than its delightful
predecessor.
Miss Lillian Irby was the graceful
and gracious young hostess at a beauti-
full party on Friday evening In honor
OF Misses Susan Allen Leak and Ca
mile Vance OF Clinton. Invitations
were issued to some sixty guests but
quite a good many we're unfortunate
in that such an opportunity for enjoy
ment was afforded them during Lent.
The entire lower floor of the house pro-
fusely decorated with VOL. is, palms
and ferns was thrown open to the
guests.
Vases of Viole.s, bowls and banks of
yiolets were everywhere lending a
rich, soft tone to the brilliantly lighted
rooms Forty enthusiasts played five
handed bid euchre and contested for
the prizes with heat and fervor. A
very handsome evening fan was carried
of by Mrs. Dial Gray, the gentlemau's
prize, a white silk munl ar was won by
Mr.. Gus Simmons. A delicious cours Q
of sweets was served in daiptiest fash
Ion.
