NATURES WORK ON COTTON.

We were shown a cotton stalk by
Mr.. John T. Sasser, says the Southern
Cultivator, which, when explained by
him, revealed a most practical side
of natures work This stalk was
well developed, and was selected by
Mr.. Sasser for demonstrating how the
seasons affect the plant Mr. Sasser
says hat he has watched and expert
msnted 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 on, and a
new set of roots put on. He pointed
this out to us by showing the stalk
in its present state with the old roots
shedding of and new. shoots putting
on. BY watching the different stages
of its growth, Mr.. Sasser says 1t 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 injuring the plant by breaking the
new surface roots then helping to nur.

SELECTION OF COTTON SEED.
The Best Boiling Plants on the Plan
tation 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 we'll
developed to contain from six to seven
bolls from half inch to an inch apart.
The best known variety to commence
with Is the Dickson's 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.

appearance after sprouting.

General debility is q term that covers

the combined amounts, together with
that received from dairying and 9TH
er sources, are bound to make finan-
cial conditions very easy in the Cana
dian West until the next harvest ma
lures.
In the last week of August a tour
of inspection was made along the line
of railway in the wheat area by the
Northwest Grain Dealers association
and number of American grain ex-
perts. What they saw convinced
them that not only was the crop a
good average one, but the quality Of
the grain grown was admittedly Of
the best quality, and more than one
of the visitors stated that although
the yield might have been larger, the
quality could hardly have been i'm
proved. Speaking on this point, Mr..
J. F. Whalley, the well-known wheat
man Of Minneapolis, said:

very much struck with the improve

marvellous; there is not better coun-

The past few years, in which agri-
culture has been carried on to any
great extent, have brought the prob

ly to the front, and there is railway
development in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and British Columbia.
Such as has never been seen
anywhere. There are at present
over 5000 miles of railway in
operation in that country, and
conservative calculation of the
lines now in course of construction
places the extent at 5000 additional
miles; a large portion of which will
be completed during the present year.
This means the opening up of a con-
siderably increased agricultural area,
and there is every reason to believe
that in a very few years the agricul-
tural wealth of the country will be
developed to such an extent that in
stead of "A Hundred Million Bushel
Crop" 1t will not be out of place to
refer to the crop as 900 900. 900 BUSH

look like drawing the long bow at the
present time, but, in the light of what
has been done by Western Canada
in the past five or ten years, there
is no limit that can be placed upon
what may be done in the five or ten
years Immediately in front of that
lusty young giant Of the West.

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 large farm
the manure must be applied over a
large surface. thus providing but
a 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 a 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: II
should have bought an eighty when
I had one thousand dollars in the
bank" Yes, forty would have been
a more profitable purchase. But what
price for the lesson. We need
more small farms, well titled by the
owners themselves, less extensive
and more intensive methods of cult.

about one degree north l prefer the

end of my farm is included in this
southern part. Planters living south
of this line would do well to obtain
seed from this region once in three OF
four years. South of this belt, the cot
ton plant is inclined to produce too
much weed and too little fruit. In it,
with proper preparation, rotation, ma
nure and rest, you can make the cot
ton plant just what you please, as
gentlemen from all parts of Georgia
can testify, who have seen my crop

This year, the lowest returns, as we
have stated, are estimated at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725,600,
and barley at 1880, 900 bushels, which
is very satisfactory, If not absolutely
satisfying. To better appreciate this
fact, all that is necessary to do is to
go back rs years in the history Of
Western Canada. At that time the
agricultural product Of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted of 100000 bushels of
wheat, on an acreage of $1,000 and
1,270,268 bushels of oats. The entire
crop was at that time required for
local purposes, and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 100000 bushels of
wheat for local consumption and seed
ing, there will be about 100000
bushels for export. which at 70 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent of nearly $4,000, 900.

Wheat in Western Canada
"A GOOD Crop OF Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make a range OF from
S7.00O,0O0 to 115.000,00O bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where betyeen these figures-prob-
ably not far from 10000 900 bushels.
Ihis year a larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from Is
TO 20 per cent, and had the average
yield of last year been maintained,
the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100, 0OO,-
600 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to considerable extent for much of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, is also responsible for a
part of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often unacquainted with the
conditions OF western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
a very large number of amateur farm
'ers behind the stills of the pillow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
TO raise the average instead of de-
pressing 1t.

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
mics 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
