Cotton planters may be interested
to know that climate appears to have
an effect upon the composition of
cotton seed. Cotton seed meal from
the western part Of Texas often runs
8 per cent nitrogen and over. In east
Texas TINS occurs seldom. one prOmi-
nent man identified with the cotton
seed oil industry, says that, if, starting
with west Texas, you go towards the
east and north the meal decreases
in nitrogen content. This has been
found to be approximately true for

BUYING OF FURNITURE.
The Importance of Not Getting More
Than Is Actually Needed.

The Importance of Not Getting More
Than Is Actually Needed.
The buying of furniture is one of the
most difficult things in the equipment
of home, and it is singular fact
that many stores which are loaded
with furniture to the roof offer little
serious aid in this most important
task, says American Homes and Gar
dens. The furniture man has, of
course, to suit many tastes and meet
many requirements; his wares are apt
to be most various and diverse They
consist, without exception, of goods
of two great classes, good furniture
and bad furniture. These he displays
with so much art that the good is thor.
oughly mixed with the bad. In hin
heart of heart he doubtless knows that
the bad furniture is not worthy to
sell; but he probably regards n bad
chair sold as a piece of good business,
and he calmly leaves the selection to
his customer. If the buyer cannot dis.
tinguish between good furniture and
bad 1t is none of his business. He Is
there to sell goods. He very likely
would not understand what was meant
by the immortality OF selling bad
chair or an evil-looking table.
1t is obvious that the great rule in
furniture buying is excellence-excel.
lence of materials, excellence of form
excellence of style, excellence in utll.
ity. The word, in fact sums up in one
way or another about all the require
ments that can be demanded of mod.
ern furniture. There are, of course,
various degrees of excellence in furni.
ture, for n single piece may be made
of good materials and well made to
boot and yet be thoroughly ill-adapted
to modern needs and quite useless as o
household convenience.
Another helpful rule In furniture
buying is not to buy too much. With
persons Of average means this advice
may seem superfiuous, for even mod
crate amount of new furniture costs
considerable sum. But the happy
housewife, intent on making her home
attractive, is very apt to buy more
than she needs and to buy pieces which
may be quite unnecessary. 1t Is al
ways well to leave something to a fu.
ture time. The table or chair that
seems so charming to-day may not be
found to have any real utility to-mor-
row. 1t Is not the change In fashions
that should be awaited, for such
method would on!y result in confusion
and unseemly mixture. It is rather 10
