V the picking easier, and hence this is given the value of two points. Anoth- CT quality Is that of storm resistance which is given a value of only one point. Hence the farmers are invited to say here whether enough stress has been laid on storm resistance, or on complete opening. I think that for next class studying cotton, we shall lay somewhat more stress on storm resistance, especially if found separabie from difficulty of picking.
 It may be a helpful exercise for some reader to critic'se with the aid of this scale soms of the best plants grow ing in his field. even though nearly all the cotton has been picked.

 l notice an article in Farm and Ranch on curing and keeping meat thog meaO. by MT. H. N. Galloway. Will say I think Mir. c. is correct to salt while animal heat is still in the meat. I will give my experience and way of handling meat for kepeing, and know by experience it Is a success. We ate our last ham in August. and 1t was Tennessee cured hams. The hogs were killed during the cold spell in Feb ruary. l kill hog (they dress all the way from 150 to 300 pounds), and when dressed throw it on table and cut and trim close. and then salt and pack down in a nice clean box and, then kill another, dress, cut. trim and salt, and pack as before. and so on until all are done with. l let meat remain in bulk until late bed time. say 10 or Il o'clock, and then unpack and lay out on table in oi nulo Ia aS let 1t remain so next day and night. and on following morning, when as Q, rule. this near coast weather begins to get warmer. l then repack and cover completely with salt I use about two tablespoonfuls of salt peter to one peck of salt. well mixed and well rub bed in). and make small opening in each ham joint and put in about a tea spoonful of the mixture-salt and salt peter-at the joint I let meat remain four to six week, and then take up and have my wash pot full of water,nearly boiling hot and dip each piece for g. second or two which dissolves all the salt, and then wipe off with a cloth Then I take puiveriZed borax or DOW dered borax. and rub on the flesh side. using a large cloth, so as to save all borax that would otherwise be lost. then hang up and smoke and in two or three days the meat will be beautiful brown and not a fly or insect will bother 1t. I then take down \ after hanging for ten days or two weeks and pack in nice, bright, clean hay, and it is done, and you can rest assured that when you want some of as nice bacon or ham as you ever stuck a tooth in. you have got it, and you know that you are not eating dead hogs"-well, I mean hogs that were not killed.

this dust is not nearly so injurious as that from lime or gypsum. The soil from your land is one of the best ab- sorbents and deodorizers that you can have for this use in the poultry house. When scattered over the droppines board it serves the best purpose, and when put on the floor of the poultry house makes the best dust bath for poultry. and the fine particles settle and destroy all the vermin with which they come in contact. Whenever the floor of the poultry house is covered with this dry earth and the scratch ing and digging of the hens creates a dust, it is evidence that the floors are perfectly dry and this is of great val ue to the poultry.AFarm and Ranch.

This scale is intended to be applied either to individual plants or to the average of the field Of course 1t is not to be expected that in selecting considerable numbers of plants for seed every plant will be measured strictly by a scale point. However, a beginner. or one having no fixed ideals for his plants. will find that the use of the scale of a few plants will make him more critical of the special weak nesses and the special advantages of different plants. When once this hab- 1t of analyzfng the strong and weak points becomes fixed. a glance at plant will be sufacient for a decision on many points. revealing excellencies or defects which would ordinarily be passed over.
 Necessarily in the formation of new scale, one should not be too pos- ,itive in regard to the numerical val Fues attached to each point and it is

Points.

Points.
 For nearly every breed of thorough bred cattle. hogs. and sheep there has been formed a scale of points. A scale of points is simply a means of describing the qualities desired in each breed and of emphasizing various qual- ities fn proportion to their importance. For example. the udder of a milk COW is given a much higher number than that describing a perfect ear or tail. Simi- lariy during the past few years. a scale of points has been formulated for judging corn. It Is full time that the cotton growers should have similar help. although the writer is not aware that heretofore any detailed scale of points for cotton has ever been formu- lated for farmers or students.
 The formulation of a scale of points for cotton to be used in impressing upon students the type of plants from whfch to select seed has become ne- cessary, so the writer has recently made use of the following in one of his classes in agriculture.

matched during the season grow to maturity. Accepting this as true and multiplying the total number grown, said to be 5,000,000, by four and you have a loss of 15,ooo,ooo, young poults one-half at least of which might have been saved by proper care and atten- ton. This would have added over 1000, 900 in the same ratio to the tur- key product of the country. If these turkeys had only averaged s1 per head when sold it would have added S7,OO0,- 900 to the income of the turkey grow CTS throughout the country. Consider how many days work this $7,000,0 900 would have paid for, and the profits of proper care seem enormous.
 Proper care, whether of turkeys or other fowls. means intelligence as well as industry. Many throw lime about the floors of their poultry houses or on the dropping above. This lime de- stroys the value of droppings as fer tilizer. Besides the union of the lime with the droppings frees the ammo mia. which creates bad odors and unhealthy conditions in the poultry house. Others use land plaster. While this preserves the value of the droppings as fertilizer every tirne the hens fly about and stir up the fine particles they fill the air of the house with dust injurious both to the eyes and nostrils and the throats of poul- try. as well as to persons who look after them.
