New York, July S-Bradstreet's

Holiday influences irregular weather

south similar reports come. In the

and fair returns for summer goods
from jobbers, The sharp advance in
raw cotton has had rather stlmuat-

though indicating smaller than expect
ed Yields the feeling being that higher
prices will offset reduced production.
The advance of raw cotton has stimu-
lated inquiry for cotton goods, which

per cent, and buyers complain of slow

many think, for good specimens can
be grown in any garden loan if ii Is
enriched by the application Of
good fertilizer, but it is well to take a
some pains In preparing a compost for
the plant, Two-thirds ordinary loan
mixed with enough sharp sand and
old, well-rotted COW manure to make
up the other third will give excellent
results, and such a soil is within reach
of most amateurs, If the cow-manure
can not be obtained, use more sand,
and substitute bone meal as a fertil-
lzer using in the proportion of a
tablespoonful for an eight-nch pot
This will last for three months or
more. Then add as much more of the
bone-meal to the soil, working it In
we'll about the roots of the plant. Per-
feet drainage is very necessary. Have
at least two inches of broken crock
cry or something similar in the bot

are due to defective drainage than
anything else Too much water at the
roots. or undue retention of 1t there
will almost invariably result in un-
healthy root action, the first indication
of which is seen in the browning of the
tips of the leaves. Therefore, make
sure to have good drainage. In wat

until the soil looks dry before apply
ing anything. Then use enough to
make the soil moist all through, An
