paner From Cotton Stalks.

The manufacture of paper from the
fiber of cotton stalks is one Of the
latest inventions which are said to
have passed the experimental stage.
1t is asserted that all grades OF paper,
from the best form of linen to the low
est grade, can be manufactured from
cotton stalks. In addition to this a
variety of by-products, such as alco-
hol, nitrogen, material for gun cotton
and smokeless powder a also be
secured in paying quantities. Mills
for the use of cotton stalks in that
way may become general in the cot
ton-growing states. 1t is estimated
that on an area of land producing a
bale of cotton, at least n ton of
stalks can be gathered. Upon this
basis, from 10, 900 to 1000, 900
tons of raw material could be secured
for the, production of paper, which
would increase the value of the south's
cotton crop nearly $4,000, OO0,. A
company has been organized under
the laws of the state of Maine, with a
capital stock of SIS, 900, 00C, preferred
and common, for the purpose of man
u%facturing pulp and paper from cotton
stalks.

So beautifully is the inlaying done
chat the top appears to be woven of

A month after the baby's birth,

and for a robe he selected a deep wine
colored satin. edged with gold cord.
Master Harold already has become
one of the most noted babies in Phila-
delphia-and incidentally his father
has been offered a big price to make a
duplicate of the cab for a multi-mil-
lionaire. Mutton refused to do it, de-
claring he was satisfied to have his
baby own the finest baby carriage in
the world.

FARnER AND
ALFALFA GROWING.
TWO Farmers Give Their Opinion Of
Value Of Plant. s

/ began to grow alfalfa five years
ago.. have now five acres sown, from
which | have cut four times this sea-
son and at present writing (Sept. 20)
it stands eight inches high. My mode
OF sowing Is to SOW either in August
or September, which think Is the
best time to SOW, for II you SOW In
the fall you can get three or four cut
tings the next year. : pillow my ground
very deep, and use harrow and drag
until I get the soil In fine condition
and then sow 80 pounds to the acre,
sowing both ways. l do not cut the
first crop, as l consider that much
thrown away. l have at present five
acres just coming on which / sowed
last month. I sowed, on Aug. Is, 1904,
two acres of alfalfa and have cut four
times this year, as follows:
May 81, / cut from the five acres
1880 pounds; June 80, 1890 pounds;
Aug. 4, 15,460 pounds; Sept. IA, 1880;
making a total of 60,9S0 pounds.
l find it to be very fine feed for
stock. We have m mule that we
have been obliged to cut out half OF
her grain on account of feeding her
this hay. The greatest drawback l
find with this hay is a small yellow
weed that grows in with the hay which
kills it. If anyone knows of a rem
edy to kill this weed, / would be
pleased to learn it so | might try it.

He had never done such a thing in his

Consequently, he went about
his task, apparently as u~nconcerned
as any of the party in waiting.
The wing was the first part he at
tackled, and only after much hacking
and cutting did he at last succeed in
cutting it off. Then he took the leg
and found that still more difficult to
manage. He worked at it very quiet
ly for a time, as he could not work
and talk, too. Finally, after consider
able m%aneuvering to find the best
place to strike, he brought the knife
down with almost herculean force,
completely severing it from the body.
In doing this he gave the body such a
twist that it slipped from the platter
onto the tablecloth beyond, minus both
wing and leg. He dropped the knife
in dismay, the perspiration oozing
from every pore of his body when he
saw what he had done.

white chiffon wells have borders of

India's Cotton Tree.

London Commercial Intelligence 70
Gently printed a letter from ]. X.
Spence, at Wallas Cotton, Plantation.
Deese, who claims to have discovered
a variety of cotton tree, Indigenous
to India, capable of revolutionizing the
cotton industry of that country. He
says the tree grows in various parts
Of Bombay and Madras presidencies,
which produces cotton infinitely supe-
rior both in classification and staple
to American cotton and in classified
ton alone can not be equaled by
Egypt. 1t is an astonishing fact that
the value of the trees product has mo-
up to this time been discovered by
anyone in the cotton trade, notwith-
standing the fact that the tree has
been known to exist since the time
of the mutiny and probably for hun
dreds of years previously. The only
uses the cotton it produces has been
put to are the manufacture Of .wicks
for lamps in Hindu temples and the
stusfing of beds and pillows. After
careful examination of the Cotton, Mr..
Spence unhesitatingly expressed the
opinion that it would probably revolu-
tloaize the cotton industry OF India
and largely resume the European de-
mand for American cotton.

Another Farmers Opinion.

In my search for facts in regard to
the alfalfa plant as a pasture, 1 nave
found a wide difference in opinion as
to the intrinsic value; but by a series
of experiments IN my trial grounds l
have proven. to my own satisfaction
that it can be used very successfully
as a pasture and without damage %
the stock, provided the animals are
not turned to pasture except with full
stomachs. Cattle are so fond of the
alfalfa plant that they eat of it greed
lily, usually gorg.ng themselves If they
go to pasture with empty stomachs
and the result is bloat and loss OF
cattle.
/ never pasture alfalfa while the
dew is on or just after a rain. 1t Is
claimed by man. that cattle can be
accustomed to alfalfa pasture by be-
ing allowed to feed for a short period
each day and gradually lengthen the
time until they can eat it without ap-
parent danger; but cannot speak au-
tho~ritatively on this, as my expert
ments along this line are as yet in
tnelr INFANCY Dulf L pclicSC IhO SoA0oe
plan Is to mix the alfalfa seed with
other grasses and clovers.
I have found the following a good
combination: One part each OF alfalfa,
red clover and timothy to three parts
each of orchard grass and cromus in
ertis.
While people differ in opinion as TO
the value of alfalfa as a pasture, when
it comes to a hay crop each one has
proclaimed it a bonanza. Alfalfa on
suitable land will yield five tons OF
cured hay per acre, while the feeding
value of one acre Of corn Is rarely
equivalent to three tons Of alfalfa hay.
Animals accustomed to the use OF al
falfa hay never tire of it, and it las
been asserted that they Will leave
fresh green pastures to feed from a
stack of alfalfa.
Alfalfa meal can be bought at any
up-to-date feed store and l find 1t val
liable as a food when mixed with cora
and fed to fattening hogs; but when
feeding it to cattle I find them to be
the best and most economical mill to
grind it.-Enos C. Pittman, Cloar, Ark.

him. Wells. being unarmed, threw
his hat at the bear, and while the anil

FINEST ON EARTH.
SUPERB CARRIAGE BUILT FOR
PHILADELPHIA BABY.
Proud Father Spared Neither Expense
Nor Time In Providing His Heir
With q Magnificent vehicle
for His Daily Rides.

Master Harold Mutton, the four
m~onths-old son OF MI. and Mrs. Ches-
ter Mutton, of Philadelphia. rides IN
the finest baby carriage In the world.
The carriage, not counting time and
labor, cost $40. the price represent
ing the material alone.
Master Mutton is not wealthy, nor
heir to millions-possibly not to thou
sands. He lives with his parents In a
modest cottage out near Paramount
park, and his father works for a mod
crate salary for a firm Of commission
men down town. The baby carriage,
with its gorgeous trappings and expen-
sive material, is the only unusual fea-
ture connected with the baby's life,
but it is unusual enough to attract
the attention Of hundreds Of persons
who sees it in the park on fair after
Rooms.
In July, when the baby was born,
Chester Mutton vowed that it should
have the finest baby carriage In the
world. Before he went into the COM
mission business Mutton was a car
riage maker. He had learned the
trade as a boy, and always had a taste
for mechanical work, especially for
fine cabinet work. The first step he
took toward building the finest baby
carriage in the world was to order a
set of wheels made of pure silver. The
hubs, the frame work and the springs
were made of finest FURNISHED copper,
while the canopy top of the baby cab
was fastened to the body with a socket
joint of brass, and attached to the
joint itself was a shield Of pure gold,
covering the joint and ornamenting
the side of the cab.
The metal fixtures, including wheels,
running. gear and the gold hardware,
all we're designed by the proud father,
although the work was done by others.
But he insisted upon doing the wood
work himself.
For the body of the baby cab he Sc
lected mahogany and white holly. The
rich, deep red wood he cunningly
joined to TIE pure white of the holly
so that the mahogany formed the out
side of the cab and the holly the in
side. Both woods were polished to the
highest degree, and in the mahogany
he inlaid the initials of his baby in
ivory at each side, and in front placed
a tiny crest in gold buried in the dark
wood.
He worked for three weeks building
and finishing the woodwork for the cab
and planning the framework of the
canopy. The canopy itself is the real
work of art of the entire thing. 1t is

Revival of This Fashion Is Seen In

The little suggestion of long shout

Tie little cross over cravattes of fur
are worn for the severe tailor made

to finish these is with a rosette Of

wEEvIL IN PEAS.
Applications Of Carbon 5~i-Sulpklds
VIII Do the Business.

Peas and beans are subject to at
tack by several species OF "weevils,"
which are not the same as the weevils
Of wheat, corn and other cereal
grains, but which fortunately are sub.
ject to the same remedial treatment.
Since many eggs are deposited In the
peas while they are ripening In the
field, these will hatch out after the
peas are stored, so that no method Of
effectually preventing the first infesta-
ton by the weevils Is known. But
If the peaces are stored In a tight
bin It is then possible, and indeed.
quite easy to kill them. by two fumi.
cations with the chemical known az
carbon bi-sulphide. This liquid may
be had OF druggists at about 30 cents
per pint, and should be used at the
rate of about III tablespoonful to
every 100 pound Of peas. It may be
thrown directly on the peas. dashing 1t
on in several places about over the
bin, or it may be placed in several
shallow saucers, which are then
placed in the bin on the peas. In
either case cover the bin at once with
a heavy blanket, oil cloth or canvas
to prevent the escape Of the fumes.
Leave for a day before removing the
cover, and repeat the treatment with
in a week or ten days later. These
two treatments will not hurt the peas
either for sowing or for food.
There is one caution which must
be observed in using this remedy, and
that is that no fire, not even a lighted
pipe, cigar, lamp, etc., can be allowed
around the bin while the treatment is
being given. The liquid and its fumes
are inflammable.
l find that the greatest difficulty
in the way of using this treatment
among our farmers is that they have
not the tight bins that are necessary
to do thorough work. If the bin Is
not tight, it a be compensated for
in part by increasing the mount OF
the chemical used, but if there are so
nan cracks that air circulates freely,
it is almost impossible to do a salts
factory job OF it.-Franklin Sherman,

culture, Raleigh, N. G.
