Work of the Busy Partner and the
Busy Hen.

The value of farm product in 1904,
says the Protectionist, is placed by
the Department of Agriculture at S4-
ooo, 900. The corn crop yield a
farm value greater than ever before.
The farmers could from the proceeds
of this single crop pay the national
debt, the interest thereon for one
year, and still have enough lett to
pay a considerable portion of the
governments yearly expenses. The
cotton crop next in value, while hay
and wheat contend for third place.
Potatoes and barley reached their
higest production in 1904; save IN
1902 the oat crop was never so large
by 6o,ooo,ooo bushels. The present
crop of rice promises yield of ooo,-
100000 pounds-3ooo, 100000 more
than ever before. Horses and mules
reach the highest point this year,
with an aggregate value exceeding
sr,354,ooo,ooo. s. The steady advance
ii. poultry leads to some astonishing
figures. The farmers hens now pro-
duce one and two-third billion dozen
of eggs and at the high average price
of the year the hens during their
season lay enough eggs in a single
month to pay the years interest on
the national debt.

Too Much Cotton.

Editor Herald and News: l quote
z few words from Golfers, in regard
to the production of cotton, that
naight be interesting:
The shortage of last years cot
taa crop. accompanied by abnormally
high prices, has produced its natural
result of record-breaking crop this
year. There is deep feeling
throughout the south, however, that
something ought to be done TO pre-
vent the fall of prices below the cost OF
production, and schemes for limiting
the acreage of the next crop are now
uader active discussion.
In the meantime, while our grow
ers are trying to keep down this pro-
duction, our foreign competitors are
energetically working to take their
alaces in the worlds market. The
British Empire Cotton Growing as
sociation has received royal char
ter. The work is going on favorably
ia. Egypt, in the Soudan, and in the
British dominions on both sides OF
Africa. in Australia cotton Of the
finest quality has been grown on
tree, which merely require a little
pruning every year. Experiments are
under way in Figi, France in raising
cotton in upper Niger region, in AL
geria and in Cambodia. Germany
is going into this work in her usual
dloroughness, and she is now sub
sidizing cotton culture in many parts
Of German West and East Africa
The Dutch are raising cotton in Java
and other parts of their East Indian
possessions. Interests IT cotton
raising has been aroused in italy, in
Spain, and even Palestine is falling
in line and lifting her proud head in
the civilized world. Then let this be
a lesson to every progressive farmer
aud let him see to: it that he reduces
the acreage by planting corn, wheat,
etc., and go to no expense 20 raise
cotton. Let this be practiced far and
xsde. Let even the lands of the far
East catch a glimpse Of this policy
and step forward in the organized
world. Be not as slaves, but indepen-
dent.
Then let me entreat again, not be-
cause it would add profit to all, let
every farmer resolve today to make
his living at home and raise every
thing possible for his food, pleasure
and comfort.

FAMOUS ENGLISH WELLS.
Some Whose Waters Are Charged
With Magis or Miraculous
Power.

Though there are hundreds OF
wells supposed to possess magical
power scattered all over England, the
general public is ignorant OF their To-
cality or the romantic stories con-
nected with each one. There may
be a possible exception in the well OF
St. Keyne, in Cornwall, for Southey
has made it famous in a witty little
poem. The magic of its waters IS
such that the husband or wife who
drinks first from il after leaving the
altar will have the upper hand over
the mate for their joint lives. The
bride of whom Southey tells us did
not wait till after the marriage cere-
mony to pay a visit to the well, but
took the precaution of taking bottle
with her to the church.
Another well, in Monmouthshlre,
which has a peculiar fascination tor
the unmarried maidens is known as
the "virruous we'll" For generations
the maidens of that locality have ac-
credited it with marvellous powers in
forecasting their futures. They have
only to drop pebble into its waters
and count the resultant bubbles, for
each bubble represents a month OF
waiting for the day which will make
them brides. In order to propltlate
then genious which presides over the
we'll it is necessary to decorate the
brambles which shade it with bits OF
white cloth.
Then there are the so called holy
wells which have many medicinal viz
tues. Such a one is ST. Winifred's at
Holywell, which is accredited with
cures that are almost miraculous. The
legend of it's origin is very pretty
one. It is said that twelve centuries
ago St. Winifred, the winsome
daughter of a Welsh chief, was WOO
ed by Prince Caradoc, prince OF i'll
She declined his persistent advances,
repute, and at last he killed her in
fit of rage. From the spot on which
St. Winifred's lifeblood fell there
gushed forth stream Of crystal water
which has worked miracles in her
name for so many centuries.
Practically all the ills to which the
flesh IS heir can be cured by one Or
another of these wells. ST. Ninan's
in Cornwall, is said to restore luna
tics to sanity, but the patient must be
immersed in the water and held there
until the breath has nearly left his
BODY. This seems heroic measure.
But even this is not so severe as the
treatment which must be endured II
a madman is to be cured at Llandelga
well, in Wales, for after the victim IS
nearly drowned he is trussed like a
fowl and laid under the communion
table of the neighboring church for
the night.

Why Leaves Turn Brown.
The green matter in the tissues OF
a leaf is composed of two colors, red
and blue. When the sap ceases to
flow in the autumn the natural
growth of the tree is retarded, and
oxidation of the tissues takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
leaf changes to red. Under different
aspects it takes on yellow or brown
hue. The difference in color is due
to the difference in combinations OF
the original constituents of the green
tissues and to the varying conditions
of climate, exposure and soil. Naples
and oaks have the brightest color.
