NATURES WORK ON COTTON.

We were shown a cotton stalk by
Mr.. John T. Sassar, says the Southern
Cultivator which, when explained by
him, revealed a most practical side
Of natures work This stalk was
well developed, and was selectet by
Mr. Sasser for demonstrating how the
seasons affect the plant Mr. Sasser
says hat he has watched and expert
mented- with cotton this year and he
is convinced that by watching the
plants closely the farmer can tell pre-
cisely when and how it should be
cultivated. He says that the top or
surface roots come and go with the
moon-that is, new roots appear with
the new moon and then die off, and a
new set of roots put on. He pointed
this out to us by showing the stalk
in it's present state with the old roots
shedding off and new shoots putting
on By watching the different stages
of its growth, Mr.. Sassar says it can
readily be seen when to pillow and
how to pillow. When the old roots
are shedding, plow deep, as no harm
can be done to the plant; and when
the new ones begin to spread and take
root, pillow shallow, as there is danger
of fnjuring the plant by breaking the
new surface roots then helping to nur-
ture the fruit and foliage.

FINDS VIRTUE nv OLD CLOTHES.
Mems Garments Shaped to the Figure

To the eye of the artist the gar

tolerable when age has adapted them
somewhat to the lines of the figure;
to the average ar.ist a new suit of
clothes is an abomination.
1T is not only that new clothes are
more ugly than old" said knight of

Il never feel that properly know a

old suit. Certainly. no man can posi-

Il have noticed again and again
how different the same people are

course, the fair sex are not easily per,

The eye of the eagle and of other
birds of prey, is different from the hui
man eye in several respects. We cam

running our sight, but the eagle can
look at it, not only without danger.
but without pain. Nature has provided
the birds eyes with a thin skin, or
membrane, inside the lids, which 1t
can draw down at will, thus protecting
the eyeball, while not interfering Sc
riously with vision. The eagle has
also the power of adjusting the focus
of it's eyes so that it can see as we'll as
a great distance as it can near the OBJ
iect. 1t can see it's prey as distinctly
from the height of mile above the

A Costly Lesson.

A large farm can be worked more
economically, proportionately than a
small one, as machinery can be made
more effective on the large farm but
the smaller the area the more thor
oughly can the cultivation be given
and crops derived will be larger per
acre. The small farm admits of OBJ
tanning more valuable crops and the
use of hand implements, by which the
soil is better worked. Fertilizers can
also be used to the best advantage
on small farms, and the manure is a
valuable item, while on a large farm
the manure must be applied over a
large surface, thus providing but
limited amount of plant food.
Recently a farmer said that four
years ago he rented for cash 800
acres of good land. At the end Of
two years he had $1,000 in the bank,
besides teams and tools. The third
year was drouth, and it took all he
had to pay his Indebtedness. He
then decided to concentrate his work,
and rented eighty acres for two-fifths
in the bin and crib. He added: Il
should have bought an eighty when
had one thousand dollars in the
bank" Yes, forty would have been
more profitable purchase. But what
a price for the lesson! We need
more small farms, well titled by the
owners themselves. less extensive
and more intensive methods of cult

THE HERD-BoYS RICHES.
His Greatest Treasure Was a Con.
tented Heart.

German literature contains many
beautiful pieces. Here is one:
In a fiowery dell, a herd-boy kept
his sheep; and because his heart was
joyous he sang 50 loudly that the sur
rounding hills echoed back his song.
One morning the king, who was on a
hunting expedition, spoke to him and
said: why are you SO happy, dear
little one?'
p why shall not be-" he answered.
"Our king is not richer than IT,
Indeed" said the king; tell me
of your great possessions"
The lad answered: THE sun in the
bright, blue sky shines as brightly
upon me as upon the king. The flow.
ers upon the mountain and the grass
in the valley grow and bloom to glad
den my sight as we'll as his. I would
not take hundred thousand thalers
for my hands; my eyes are of more
value than all the precious stones in
the world; | have food and clothing,
too. Am 1 not, therefore, as rich as
the king?"
You are right" said the king, with
a laugh; but your greatest treasure
is a contented heart. Keep it so, and
you will always be happy"

SELECTION OF COTTON SEED.
The Best Boiling Plants on the Plan
tatfon Should be chosen.

To raise cotton for seed the best
boiling plants should be selected that
are on the plantation. Manure it well,
and cultivate as directed above. Plant
in it the most select seed on hand,
and in working the cotton you should
always pull up the stalks that prove
unprolific, even If it makes a vacuum
When matured, from the second and
third pickings, select the best stalks,
those that have limbs sufficiently well
developed to contain from six to seven
bolls from half inch to an inch apart
The best known variety to commence
with is the Dicksons Select, this va
riety having outlived every other in
productiveness and popularity.
The cotton for seed should be
picked when dry, and put up when
dry. This will always insure a
healthy plant. If the seed is partially
damaged, the plant will continue to
die out for weeks after it comes up
and sometimes fail even to make its
appearance after sprouting.
would select cotton for seed every
year. Select enough every year to
plant to make seed to plant the entire
crop the succeeding year.

FARM BRIEFS.

Cotton can be improved by seed Sc

Vegetable and animal substances

during the process of vegetation, be-

plants, combined with water These
substances compose what is called the

Muck, which is sometimes added
to manure, contains certain vegetable
acids, and they are set free by chemi-
cal action of soapsuds, when added to
the heap. which of itself forms some
of the fat acids.

ABOUT BEES.

Instead of allowing the bees to
swarm, it is better to build up the
weak colonies by transferring brood
comb to the depleted hives. 1t is folly
to have the bees of the strong colo
MES swarm as long as they are any
that are weak. If this is not con-
sidered the better mode, then the
strong colonies may be allowed to rob
the weaker. in which case the two
colonies will become as one and both
be benefited, but before making new
hives see that all the hives are full
and up to the complement, both in
bees and honey, and it will be a saving
of time and bees.

Walk behind a woman In the street
and you will notice that one shoulder
is taller than the other. This is
caused by her hands. One hand is
held at the belt line while the other
is allowed to fall by her side. Per-
haps she lifts her skirt with one hand
while with the other she carries Q
parcel This will make the shoulders
uneven. And in time they grow I'M
even.
Round shoulders are caused by the
habit of letting the body sink forward.
Women with lung trouble have round
shoulders, while dyspeptics almost in
variably have shoulders that hoop for
ward, making the figure poor shape.
To straighten a pair of round shout
dere is difficult. A brace can be worn
and this serves as a reminder and
the woman straightens up. The wom-
an whose shoulders are round cannot
wear a low neck There is nothing
quite as disfiguring as a pair of shout
ders that bend too far forward. The
whole shape is destroyed.
Fat shoulders are apt to be pretty.
But the trouble is that it is difficult
to put just the right amount of flesh
upon the shoulders. Either they are
too thin or they become too stout.
And the pudgy shoulder, full of great
soft creases, is impossible from beau
tvs standpoint.
The cereals will plump out the
neck, but one must not take too much
cream with them. Vegetables also
plump the neck, but one must be care
full to take them fresh and without
too much butter. There are fats which
seem to settle in the abdomen and
other fats which go toward the Shout
ders and hands. 1t is curious to the
student of beauty to observe the diff
ferent direction which the flesh will
take. Potatoes will make the abdo-
men full. Another kind of food will
make the shoulders stout, while a
third kind will cause the cheeks to
grow fat. 1t is a knowledge of these
various kinds of food which makes a
woman pretty or otherwise. She real
ly can govern her fat to suit herself
If she knows what to eat.
If the shoulders arc of the sloping,
or old-fashioned type, they should be
dressed plainly. A Quaker handker-
chief folded around the shoulders in
such a manner as to make them still
lower and still more sloping is the
prettiest thing in the world. Next
comes the Priscilla scarf, which is a
sort of plain muslin fichu; and third
there is the plain, round, low neck
with it's neat finish and its delicate
edge. All of these serve to bring out
the old-fashioned lowness of the old
fashioned low, sloping shoulder.
