LOUISIANA HOSPITALITY.
Strangers Were Treated Just thA
Same rs Members e the
Family.


A group of drummers were trading yarns
on the subject of hospitality, relates Lipp-
incott's Magazine, wnen one, Z little Vir-
drawl, took up his parable thus:
Il was down in Louisiana last month trav-
elm cross country with s. j. Cary (the
same being Stonewall Jackson c., at your
service), when We kinder got lost in mighty
lonesome sort O. road just about dark. We
rode along right good piece after shutdown,
and when we saw light ahead tell you
it looked first rate. We drove up ~ the
light, fndin' twas q house, and when
hollered like lost calf the man came out
and we asked him to take W in for the night.
He looked at us mighty hard, and then said
Wal, l reckon kin stand it If you kim So
we unhitched, went in and found twas only
. two-room shanty and just swarmin' with
children. He had six, four to IL years old,
and As there didn't seem to be but one bed,
me an Stoney was wonderin' what in thun-
der would become of rs.
They gave us supper. good hog and hom-
my, the best they had, and then the old
woman put the two youngest kids to bed.
They went straight to sleep. Then she took
those out. laid them over IN the corner, put
the next two to ted--and 20 on. After all
the children were asleep on the floor the
old folks went in the other room and told
US we could go to bed If we wanted to, and,
bein' powerful tired out, We did.
"Well, sir, the next morning when we
woke up we were lying over in the corner
with the kids, and the old man and the old
woman had the bed"

Cotton-PicEing Problem solved.

William H. Harbour, of Atlanta, has
invented and received letters patent
upon cotton harvester, which he
feels confident will solve the cotton
picking problem.
According to the patent rights is
sued to Mr.. Harbour, his machine is
described as an improved penumatic
cotton harvester.
Mr.. Harbour's cotton harvester
works ON the principle of pneumatic
suction and is SO constructed and adj
justed as to separate the lint cotton
from the leaves and other foreign mat
ter, which may be gathered with it
The machine is made to be hauled
across cotton field by pair OF mules,
and can be operated, it is stated, by
one man and a boy.
Mr.. Harbour states that his ma
chine will pick all the cotton open in
fsve-acre field in one day.
A demonstration of these facts will
prove that Mr.. Harbour's machine may
become to the south what the reaper
and binder is to the great grain grow
ing sections of the west.
The principle of Mr. Harbour's ma
chine is vastly different from that of
the other machines which have been
constructed with the same end in view,
but which have practically all proven
failures.
The principle of other machines has
been either rotating fingers or revolv-
ing stems.
The Scientific American of recent
date gives Mr.. Harbour's cotton har-
vester special notice as one of the more
important recently patented inven-

From 1890 to 1900 the number Of
farms in the United States increased

value of farms and farm property from
1902 ,267 900 to $20,514, 001, 1873.
The census is taken every ten years.
From 1870 to 1880 the increase in farms
was 1,34S,992, totals being 2.659, 9S5 and
4.o08. 907, respectively. The number of

THE MERITS OF THE MULE.
a Fact About the Long-Eared AMI.
NAL Thnf the Average Farm
err Doesn't Know.

The average farmers probably is not
aware of the fact that an average mule
sells for $40 per head more than horses.
Such is the case, and the price has been
gradually rising for number Of years.
There has never been what would be
called an overproduction of mules, while
the market has often been unable to
fully supply the trade.
The ability of the mules to endure
great heat had brought them into most
general use in the southern states,
where large farms are devoted entirely
to raising them.
The mule natures more quickly than
the horse, and can be placed on the
market from one to two years sooner
than the average horse; this means a
large profit to the producer and quicker
returns for the investor.
A well-fed mule can be worked at
two years Of age with safety, If proper
Judgment is exercised by its driver
They are much less nervous than a
horse, thus not so liable to accident
or blemish. A blemish that would
make fine horse unstable would take
but trifle from the price Of mu.,.
They sell simply for the work they
seem able to do, rather than for their
appearance. The mule buyer carries
his measuring stick, and gives probably
S. above the regular price for each inch
the young mules measure above four
feet at weaving time.
Large herds of so and 100 are safely
kept in small inclosure. They are
much less subject to disease than
horses when kept in large numbers.
Accident rarely occurs while the mule
is being borke to work, because they
always stop when in danger of being
hurt. Much less care is exercised than
with the care of horses, yet one seldom
sees mule blemished by accident.
The grain ration for the mule Is much
less than that required for the horse;
this is quite an item to be considered
with the present high prices Of grain.
We have had a large export trade for
mules. besides their use in the southern
plantations. Largo numbers will be used
each year In the construction of the
Panama canal, and good prices may
be expected for some years to come -

FARMER ANDPLAN'rEK.
wANTED--LONG LEASES.
Leasing Land I'm the south . Pr0b-
lem For the Landlord and
Tenant as Well.

Leasing land in the south is prob
lem for the landlord and for the ten
ant, as we all know the most Of the
land is bound up by capital. We have
in the state of Alabama plenty of men
that have anywhere from 1000 to TO-.
600 acres of land, and they are always
bothered to get good tenants on this
land, and at the same time they are not
willing to lease their property for more
than three years, and they tell you they
had rather not lease 1t at all. They
had rather rent it from year to year.
| can't see why this is so. At the same
time they want the land improved and
brought up to high states of fertiliza-
ton, and on the yearly leasing system
the land is growing poorer and wash
ing away, and each field is growing
smaller year by year. Now. if the land
lords would put ON these lands reason
able improvements, and lease this land
for anywhere from five to ten years.
then the tenant would fully realize that
he would get the benefit Of the land
after he improved It. am satisfied he
would have a much better tenant Ev-
erybody is saying, improve your land.
SOW pease and it will add so and so
to the yield the next year. which is
correct, but where Is the man that Is
going to do this unless he knows he
is going to get the fruits of his labor.
The landlord will tell you his reason
for not leasing ten years. He hopes to
get better. rent. He will never get bet
ter prices till his land is made better.
Everybody always hates to move, and
as the old saying is, two moves are
equal to one fire, and when you get a
man TO feel that he is settled, he is a
much better citizen. If Montgomery
county could get every negro in 1t in
state of thrift every white man in
the county could get rich in ten years,
but as long as 1t takes all he can make
to pay his rent and his supply bills 1t
would take a lifetime to get anything
out of him. Hard to get blood out OF
a turnip. l would like to see a longer
lease system tried, and I think once
tried would stay for all time to come.
We have plenty Of land in Montgom-
cry county that, If man were to pat
1000 pounds of fertilizer to the acre
in less than five years would yield one
bale of cotton to the acre, and now the
same land is not making more than one
bale to three acres. On land that makes
one bale to three acres its costs to grow
one bale $50, and on the one acre that
1000 pounds OF fertilizer put on, you
can grow bale for $40.
Now, it is a demonstrated fact, If we
live in this country we have got to i'm
prove the land, and the tenants are not
going to improve on short lease. Ala
bama can be brought up to state Of
high fertility. and could be made to pri-
duce under proper cultivation double
what 1t does to-day. M. Stuckey,
