Fruit Trees on Dinner Table.

Paris Cable.
For he fruit course the Paris fash
ionablc now have a fad which make
the modern dinner table miniatute
Garden of Eden. Instead Of plants
Of peaches or plums or apples, as
the case may be, the tree occupies the
center of the table and the guests may
pluck the fruit. When strawberries
or currants or any of the varieties
of berries are used the vine or bushes
are run around the middle of the
festal board in oval fashion.
The idea is said to come from Jap
an, where ;lwarfed trees are common.
The French horticultuists have been
working ovetime to reduce the size
Of apple, plums and peach trees and
have succeeded in some measure
Well known hostesses say they ex-
pect to have fruit in this way all the
year round. The tree, root and all,
is placed on the table in large pot,
and while ii still takes up considera-
bic space, in another year, it is
thought, it will be small enough to be
very attractive.

No Protection for the Unorganized
Cotton Planter.

When the huntsman s hounds strike
the trail Of game, the 'possrm has his
hollow log for his protection, foxes
have their holes and the raccoon has
his den, but when cotton bears strike
out on the trail Of the unorganized
cotton growers. this unworthy son of
the South hath not where TO lay his
head.
When we'll organized, the farming
interests Of our cotton belt would be
the greatest money power on the con-
tinent; our cotton interest properly
organized would be the biggest giant
among all our giants of tradesmen.
But, in its unorganized state the
Southern cotton producers have been
help up before the world in ridicule as
the smallest giant on earth. Farmers
cotton growers-have you not more
Of that faculty of the sense of self
preservation than the foxes and rae
coons of the forest ? Men, come to-
gether and act like men, concentrate
your labor and money in 4 commune

cations now while we have compara-
tive quiet on the cotton market, and,
above all, act together in pricing your
cotton. Let cotton producers confer
with each other as to what their cot
ton is worth, never again allow the
wild bears to bear your goods down
to suit his idea of prices.

ertilizers are soluble in water, and
& they are not soluble in water that
ley are no good.
sAfter the ten days of heavy rains
fE had in June there is not enough
ammonia left in the soil to
aake cotton enough for monkey
