an irflamed condition of the mucous

this tube is infiamed you have rum

when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inf1ama-

THE COTTON SITUATION.


This is the absor bing question
in the South just now. We are
in receipt of several letters blam
ing the Cultivator for advising
them to hold their cotton. This
much is TO be considered, if all
had rushed their cotton upon the
market at once it would have fall
len to its present low figure much
sooner, and those who sold would
have lost, while those who have
have held would not have gained
anything save perhaps, a slight
saving in storage expenses. Now
if you will refer to your Cultiva-
tors you will see two things; first
our late editor continually press
ed all last fall and spring the cut
ting down of the cotton area, and
showing in clear figures that we
would receive more for a /, 900, 900
bale crop than we would for H.
| 100000 bales. How true we find
this. Second, he advised selling
SLOWLY, which all must admit is
sound business counsel.
FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE.
We cannot endorse the mistak-
en- zeal of our friends at Fort
Gaines who advocate and set the
example of endeavoring to burn
the surplus. 1t never pays to
burn or waste anything. Let us
hear the counsel of Com. 0. B.
Stevens-he advises US wisely.
Cut down our next crop one-half.
This will settle the question at
once, and in the best manner.
Odly let US exhibit the same zeal
and energy in cutting down our
area in cotton which we have al
ways displayed in trying to in
crease the yield. and cotton will
go to 10c within three months.
Let ever individual farmer be-
gin to cast about prudently for
other lines of profitable agricu1-
tura1 products. Your means
and location must be your guide.
Some should branch out into
stock, horses, cattle or hogs;
some into fruit, peaches and ap-
pies; others into bay aud grain;
others still into truck produce.
We know one young, successful
farmer in Clarke County, who
told us he would sell enough
'peavine and sorghum hay" to
pay his running expenses. It is
worth seventy-fve cents a hum
dred the world over, when nice
ly cured and baled. And if our
consumers raise their old Bear
Yell of overproductiop, we will
not be forced to burn it," we
can feed it to horses and cattle
and receive an equivalent of one
dollar per hundred pounds, and
save the manure to enrich our
lands. The writer this year
planted four acres in cotton, and
at the same time soWed four
acres iu peav mes and sorghum,
and we received more clear
money from our hay than for the
cotton, and it was much easier
and more quickly harvested and
sold. And so we might go on for
hours telling of different instan-
ces where farmers have succeed
ad in other lines. We will be
glad for any farmer who has
made a success in other crops
than cotton write to the Cu1tiva-
tor of their experience.

Railway building In the United

per cent compared with 1908, when
6,7S6 miles Of new road were completed.
miles Of new road were completed.
Official returns for the current year,
not yet complete, shows that 4,16S
miles Of first track have been laid
since January last on 299 lines in AZ
states and territories, says the Rail-
wa Age. That there would be de-
crease in new mileage this year was
foregone conclusion on account Of
the general business situation.
There is large amount Of new
work projected, much of which is still
awaiting financing. The revival of
business, however since the presiden-
tial election has given an impetus to
railway building which promises
greater activity in 1903. While the
day Of parallel railroad building Is
practically over there are many extern
sions and feeders projected which are
needed to develop new territory, and
much important work designed to
shorten main lines and reduce grades
and curves is planned. One of the
large Western systems has compre-
hensive plans Of this nature, and If
this work is undertaken during the
coming year it will mean much to con.
tractors and dealers in material.
According to the last edition Of
Poors Manual, the railway mileage of
the United States at the close of 1903
was 207,7S4 miles. The addition of the
track laid during the past year makes
the total main line mileage of the
country in round numbers $4,000
miles.
