Cultural Method.

DR.. Knapp, special agent Of the gov
eminent in charge of Farmers Cooper
alive Work, has issued a circular to the
cotton farmers. in which he urges the
necessity of a change in the system Of
farming heretofore practiced in the
boil weevil region. He gives it as his
conviction that il what is known as the
cultural method had been adopted in
Texas last fall very few weevils would
have been found in that state this year.
Briefly stated, the government plan
consists in destroying the cotton stalks
in the fall, getting cotton land into
good tillable condition by fall blowing,
planting All early maturing variety of
cotton, using a reasonable amount of
fertilizer where lands are poor and cul-
tivating the crop thoroughly and fire.
quently in order TO produce a crop
early ia the season. Prof. Knapp en-
pllasiZes the great Importance Of fall
blowing. aud places to the credit of
such work the following points:
/. 1t aerates tho land and prepares
plant food.
Q. The termination of the seed at the
next planting is better; plants are more
vigorous and the crop greatly benefited.
3. 1t destroys weeds and insects.
Both will be injurious to the future
crop.
a.. 1t advances the work OF the farm,
lengthensthe working season and en-
ables the farmer to plant promptly at
the right time.

Husbands In Revolt.

1.-TWO hundred married men in war,

against the ABSORPTION of their wives
in society functions and club meetings
The men have demanded that the
women pay more attention to home du'

"At first the men expostulated pri.

made no impression. The ladies wen,

Then they formed a procession and
marched to the places where their wives

Free" Supplements.

Editors of country papers have been
surprised lately at receiving from some
source a proposition to furnish them
supplements of good reading matter
free of charge, they only to agree to
run the supplement as IL part of their
papers. A few accepted the offer. The
first supplement contained hidden in
the reading matter an attack on the
parcels post, which the express com
panies are fighting with might and
main. The second contains a vslled
attack on President Rooseveit's rail
road policy.
The head lines of this article quote
Senator Elkins as willing to co oper-
ate with President Roosevelt 10 pass
ing satisfactory measures to control
the railroads." but the body OF the at
ticle gives the Senator'S ~weli-known
pro-railroad views. 1t isn't polite to
look a gift horse 10 the mouth, but this
seems to be one of the cases where
p0liteness is not to be considered

There can be no more unpleasant
task in these days than for a Political
writer to glance over the newspapers,
Republican and Democrat, printed in
the cities of other States. Stories of
political graft abound aud they are
fanked by Investigations telling of
political tiievery and political debauch-
cry of every kind. Newspapers and
magazines from Cape Cod to the
Golden Gate and from the Canadian
line to the Gulf are burdened with these
gloomy tales of political corruption.
The question is frequently asked:
what has got in many politicians and
what's the matter with the people ="
The answer of some of them is that
p~latooDs of politicians have become af-
ficted with a graft epidemic and the
people are too prosperous to bother
much about what is going on around
them. 1t is truly a dismal tale all down
the line.-New York Sun.

No Poison in Chamberlain
Cough Remedy.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald:
Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of
New Soutl, Wales. Australia, had an
analysis made of all the cough medi-
cines that were sold in that market.
Out of the entire list they found only
one that they declared was entirely
free from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain's Medicine
Company, Des Moines, Iowa, u. S. A.
The absence of all narcotics makes this
remedy the safest and best that can be
had; and it is with a feeling of security
that any mother can give it to her little
ones. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
il especially recommended 10y its max
ers for coughs. colds, croup and whoop-
ing cough. When taken in time it pre-
vents pneumonia. This remedy is for
sale by all druggists aud dealers of
patent medicines.
