Nut growing is profitable, but 1t re-

stage of growth where 1t will pay we'll !;
hence only young farmers are induced

own price therefor the timber being

Shocked at Stoessel Sentence

London, July 23.-The correspond

should be the clean stable; that is the

the horse comes in from a day OF work

its feet and legs. Each hoof should be

the legs should be grOomed as carefully

tons Of the coat which are covered by
the harness which ought to have good
care each time the horse is brought into
the barn. First of all, see that the har-

there Is any suspicion OF a rubbing.
look to the cause at once and remove
it. There Is no time in the work days
of the horse when good care and watch
fulness will do so much to keep him In
good condition as during the period Of

hall and the conference settled down
to business The former Austrian
minister of commerce, Won Plener,
presented the report of the Brussels
commission, giving the propped model
treaty of arbitration. He said that
while it was impossible to recommend
the American proposal in its entirety,
some of the features were good, nota-
bly, the means by which it proposed
to decrease the cost of arbitration.
Herr Won Plener moved the adop-
ton of the model treaty as amended by
the commission, together with a rec
ommendation urging on the powers,
when arbitration is impossible, to have
recourse, singly or jointly,to the med
iationn of third power before declar.
ing war.
At this juncture William j. Bryan
arose, his appearance being heartily
cheered.

pie have any justification for killing

question involved.T here is no ques-

without going too far. This is my
resolution:
Mr.. Bryan's Amendment
"'If q disagreement should occur
between the contracting parties, which
in the terms OF the proposed arbitra-

arbitration, they, shall, before declar-

Hague court or some other impartial
international tribunal for investigation

right to cite independently after

For CnllOused ShOuIders.

A farmer in North Dakota gives his
method of treatment and cure of cal
loused shoulders of work horses in the
Dakota Farmer. which he says he has
used with uniform success, as follows ::
IL cut slit In the front part Of the
solar opposite the callous. then cut
another slit at right angles across the
first one. I then take out enough Of
the filling to allow for callous. After
soaking face of collar in warm water
| lay the front part, where cuts have
been made. on plank or something
solid. and pound face Of collar where
it presses on callous. with round-faced
hammer, till sufficient hollow has
been made. This plan will work
whether collar has been used with or
without pad. Then when the horse
comes in from work l battle the callous
in water as hot as can be borne and
paint with iodine. You will find this
plan worth trying, and | will guarantee
the collar will not be injured

The work Of different experiment sta

foreign seeds nre contained in clover
and alfalfa seed, including the dod-
ders. which are SO destructive to alfal-
IA, and a large number Of bad weed
pests like the narrow plantain. wild

ply contained thirty-two species Of for
eign seeds, including both species Of
dodder. the plantains. many common
weeds. three species of Western weeds
that are new In Ohio and as many
European weeds that have been here
tofOre unknown in this State At least
dozen new weeds have been intro

Cotton Convention SQudrely on
Record
Last Years Call for rs Per Cent Reduction Is to Be Insisted Upon Absence
of Greed Shown by Dcte' animation Not to Hold for a Higher Prics
Than Fifteen Cents Finance and Other Committees
Experimentation Adjourn, Sine Die.

Times-Democrat.
At $3.50 yesterday afternoon the
members of the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION concluded their delibera-
tons, and the convention of 1906
passed into history.
The fiaal day was devoted princi-
pally to the reports of committees,
the more important being those of the
committees on reduction of acreage,
finance and warehousing.
AS fOrecasted yesterday, the acre
age question, one of the most import
ant considered by the convention, was
settled by the recommendation that
the call made by the association last
year for a reduction of % per cent in
the acreage of 1904 be insisted upon.
The government reports show that
the reduction during the season Of
l9O4-5 amounted to IA per cent, SO that
the net reduction asked for during the
coming season is IL per cent, the &C.
ton being in effect a reaffirmstion of
the previous demand.
NOT INSPIRED BY GREED.
Having shown it's determination 10
stand firmly for a minimum price of
ID cents for the balance of the crop,
the association yesterday demon
strated that its demands were not in
spired by greed or speculative fever
by unanimously adopting a resolution
calling upon all holders of spot cotton
to sell when the price has reached Is
cents. The resolution was introduced
by John D. Walker, the Georgia
banker, who explained hat many be-
lieved the members would demand a
still higher priceif cotton once climbed
to the 15-cent mark. Its adoption
practically establishes a maximum, as
the previous action had established a
minimum price for the balance of the
crop.
The report of the finance committee
fixes the dues of the association at ten
cents per bale to all growers and land
owners, and urges that the business
pay their proportionate
share toward the support of the asso-
the funds SO collected to be d.
vided between the national, state and
county organizations. A further rec
was made that Hon. E. d.
Smith, of South Carolina, be en-
as national organizer.

Tempson Saved His Opponent.


Sam" Tompson, the Boston lawyer.
bach in the seventies had a case in
the civil court, and during the trial
the attorney on the other side, in a
heated argument, called him a liar, in
words more forcible than elegant.
Now Sam" was hard of hearing, and
his alert assistant promptly informed
Linn that his opponent had just called
him a blankety-blanked liar.
Sam at one faced him, and, in
his peculiar drawl, said: II can take
you out on the street and find a hun
dred who will say the same thing"
Then he proceeded with his argu-
nent so quickly. the court, ii so in
clined, had no chance to administer
4 rebuke, or perhaps a fine for con-
tempt, to his opponent.
