Last, but not least by any means. IN
this brief list are Dr. Carl Williams and
University of Pennsylvania team
For the past three years these men
have made the Penns an unbeatable
team among the eastern colleges. and
from all accounts the prospects for the
team for the coming season are better
than ever for a number of men who

play this season.
These are some of the men who do
the real work OF directing the forces
at their command and it would be as
difficult to/pick out the best one as to
tell which team will win the honors
this season. All have an almost count

HEADING OFF THE WEEVil. lt Can Be Done By an Earlier Variety
 Of Cotton.

The bell weeyil has educated the planters to the fact that they must discover an earlier maturing cotton plant or that insect will destroy one third Of the present product. Edueat- ed breeders of plants are now engaged in hybridizing the earliest cotton plants. and good results are antici- pated. and in some places already re alized Prof. Bennett. of Texas col lege. has learned that early cottors have short joints. and the first fruit limbs are near the ground, that late cottons have long joints ana first fruit limbs are considerable distance from the ground Early fruiting is there
 fore dependent upon low fEuit limbs.
 the first fruit limb should not be high CT than the fifth or sixth joint above the seed leaf joint. Rapid fruiting is dependent upon short Joints on the main stem and fruit limbs. and fl the boil is larger the greater will be the yield. Large holls can grow and de grow as readily on low wtruitlng. short. .jointed cotton or an early cot

The Sofa Bean,

correspondent in Tennessee writes In regrad to sowing sofa beans. the best way is to let them get almost ripe. for if you let them get too ripe you will lost most of them. They will pop open. Then take your binder and cut them like wheat and shock them. Let them stay in the shock until you think they are dry enough to shred and run them through a shredder. Then you have fine lot of hay. and your beans are not knocked to pieces like threshera does them.
 Be careful that your beans do not yet heated, as this may spoil them for seed The beans are good for all kinds of stock. They are among the best grain fer laying hens and will fatten hogs very fast A mule will do good work on them. Some horses pre- fer sofa beans to any other food. They are hay and corn. both.
 By the way. if wou want them for hay. SOW the sofa beans broadcast, putting about one bushel per acre Cut when in bloom Be sure and put your land in good fix. Cultivate it we'll before you put your sofa beans in. Do not cover too deep.

Feeding Molasses to Horses.

There is an immense waste of sweets in the great sugar mills, and how to use that waste has been ably discussed by Prof. Dalrymple, of the Louisiana state university and the economy of his discoveries has been indorsed and applied to feeding of the mules that cultivate the sugar cane. One of the sugar mills that had te feed several hundred mules annually paid between $35000 and S40.000 for oats alone Since the test of feeding resulted ia vorably no more oats are brought from the north, but home grown grains and molasses have been substituted, and tue expense of feeding reduced 70 per cent. This was a wonderful saving to the sugar mills. and farmers who had an opportunity to buy the blackstrap molasses at very small cost.
 Prof. Walton. chemist of Fiji sugar estates, says: That for working horses the sugar in cane molasses Is a satis- factory substitute for starchy food, be- ing readily digested and transform ed into work. That 15 pounds of cane molasses can be given daily to .210- pound working horse with advantage to the health of the animal and to the efficiency of his work. That 1t pro duees no undue fattening. and that the high proportion of salts fin 1t has no in- furious effect.

ton as on n late or long iointed cot. and low fruit limb the frlit limbs especially the first limbs. should be long.oOHtinued fin growth. for max mum yield in short period of time. They should not stop after growing two or three bolls, but should continue 10 grow boils. In buying seed the farmer should demand Of the dealer or seed breeder that the cotton be of this character. and when seed are thus bought the purchaser can know deii. nitely that he is getting an early. rapid fruiting and productive cotton.
 In the average seed cotton only ten per cent of the seed are Of the early variety. The seed from the short jointed limbs will produce a much larger quantity of cotton per acre than the long jointed This fact should in. duee the planters to incur more ex- pense to obtain the latest improved seed The fruit on the short -jointed cotton plants are sufficient to make one and one-half bales per acre while that on the go per cent. poor stalks  was only sufficient to make one-third bale per acre at the time of counting, which was so days from the date of planting. If by proper seed selection 75 per cent. of the stalks could be made as good as the ten per cent stalks in this case the grain would be one and one-half bales.
 These investigations show another fact that is instructive, and that is. that the large boil and thick hull cot tons are storm proof since the burrs dc not curl backward and leave the locks unsupported. The thin hull cot tons curl completely backward open ing, and the cotton falls out by it's own weight or from winds. An earlier va riety of cotton Is about the only thing that will head off the weevil.

Capt. shannon Eas been cultivating pears. grapes. pecans and figs near Ocean Springs. Miss. and they have been profitable. He has cultivated the Champion grape. which grows in large punches, fruit medium size, vines are prolific. He has found ready sale for his grapes in New Orleans, ire? quently selling eight-pound baskets at S5 cents. The Italians of New Orleans buy the grapes and make them into wine. Capt shannon has realized as high as $500 per acre for his Champion grapes. That is certainly a high per cent. on the investment, He also cul. tiVates the Herbemont for manufac- turing wine.

Washington. D. C.. August 20th.-A determined effort will be made at the next session Of congress to prevent another appropriation for the free dis trbution of common garden seeds. Congress now expends $242 900 year in giving away the commonest varie- ties of peas, beans. turnip. squash and pumpkin seeds. They are divided into 40,000,000 packets so that the packets cost about half a cent each. But as large part of the appropriation is expended in clerk hire, packeting the seed etc, the actual value of the seed in a packet is much less than half cent. These packets are put up in packages of five packets, the total cost of the packages being about two cents each, and they are purchas- able anywhere at five cents. Each member of congress gets 12,000 such packages, which he distributes to the voters of his district.
 The farmers say that these pack ages contain so little seed as to be of no value to them, while the total ap- propriation. if expended in sending out really rare and valuable seed, or in maintaining a national agricultural college, or divided among the state agricultural colleges. would be of i'm mense value to the farming interests. They therefore protest against the waste of public money. The seeds men claim that as congress has al ready expended $5,000,0 in giving away turnip and watermelon seed. it is time 1t should give away saws, axes or hoes and give the seed trade a rest. Those who believe that congress should cut off this perquisite of it's members now used for political pur- poses. are writing their senators and representatives. urging them to abol- ish the free seed distribution, and the National Grange, many state and local granges. horticultural, agricultural and other societies are adopting reso- lutions condemning it. MT. William Wolff Smith. of Washington, D. C.. has been selected 10 represent the oppo- sition to the congressional free seed distribution. and is personally answer ing all inquiries concerning he same.
