AS TO THE
COTTON PICKER

The problems of picking cotton by
machinery and ginning it at the same
time with the same labor and with
The SAM cost has a.-a s,ivrd
This was til remarkable feat ac-
complished by the Worswick-Haardt
Cotton Harvester On the plantation
Of W. q. HENDERSON about five miles
from the c. and was witnessed by
a number of busnia,s men.
1t was the first time on record that
cc';on was picked directly from the
bolls and transferred directly to a gin
on the field and einned ready for
packing
1t was a revelation and sensation.
and those who witnessed it once came
TO the conclusion that the greatest
problem of picking cotton by ma
chinery had been solved. and in a
cheap and inexpensive way.
The success of the demonstration
was so convincing that no doubt has
been left in the minds of those pres
ent as to the possibilities of the cot
ton harvester. The cotton harvester
can be used with or without the gin
attachment, but the gin costs nothing
TO run 1t in connection with he pick
er, and the cost OF the whole machine
will be comparatively little as COM
pared with the other cotton pickers
that have been experimental with.
The principle upon which the pres
ent cotton harvester works is one of
simple suction. A nozzle or hose is
placed close to boil of cotton and it
comes out whizzing and from the
tube is thrown into the gin receptacle
and from the gin It comes out clean
roll of cotton.-M montgomery (Alal
Advertiser.
The above makes us smile when
we read that it was the first time
on record that cotton was picked di-
rectly from the boil If the Alabama
patentees could see the cotton picker
owned by company in this city that
has been patented for many years,
possessing the same principle as
| their picker, by the simple principle
OF suction, they would wake up and
ask themselves where they are at. or
| come TO the sad conclusion that there
IS nothing new under the sun. This
| Mississippi picker has been tried and
successfully did the work, but the
patentee and the company determined
among themselves to improve If and

two entire months to perfecting i.
and IT IS said when tried last week
IT surpassed all former records.
This new machine propels itself
over the field and If now only takes
| five men to operate it. the man TO
guide and the other four to direct the
nozzles of the hose. AS soon as the
cotton opens up more the machine
will be carried into the field and ken;

cotton picker over the field in our
opinion is ifnpracticable as it will
make it too heavy, especially in bad
weather

eRAlsED MEAT THE BEST.
Many Advantages in French Method
Of Cooking.


Braising is a combination Of roast
ing and stewing small joints of meat
in shallow stewpan, called a
"braisoire" or braiser, which has u
close-fltting lid with grooved edge
round 1t, on which hot Goals (char-
coaD are placed. whereby the meat
can be cooked with fire above 1t as
well as under it. This process OF
cooking, it is said, greatly decreases
loss by evaporation. 1t is favorite
method with the French. and is sup
posed to bring out an unusually fne
flavor and aroma.
The pan in which a braise Is to be
made should always be lined with
slices of bacon. carrot. onions and
herbs, upon which the meat Is placed.
1t Is usually moistened with stock
or stock and wine. The more delicate
meats, such as sweetbreads. fillets,
fowls and turkeys are sometimes COW
cred with buttered paper; this Is
done to prevent the heat from the top
of the pan scorching or imparting too
much of roast flavor to the meats
which are to be praised.
Occasional basting during the
process of this method of cooking is
essential When done, the meat Is
taken up, the fat removed from the
vegetables and gravy, which latter Is
then reduced, strained and blended
with some kind of gravy or thin
sauce.

To make any clothing extra stiff
when laundering, it is best to dry the
garments first. then run through
starch and dry the second time. Flour
starch should not be used for dainty
waists since it gives yellow tinge
to them. A mixture of lump and
gloss starch will be best and such ar
ticles should be wrapped in damp
towels instead of being sprinkled be-
fore ironing. First iron the sleeves,
then the front, lastly the back and
collar and place the waist to dry on
hanger made from n rolled newspaper
tied in the middle with string. This
kegs the waist from creasing by be-
ing hung with other clothes on the
rack. Small starched articles like
cuffs and collars should be dried be-
fore the kitchen fire or they absorb
any dampness in the room and be-
come limp.

MAKES THE WORK EASY.
How One Clever Woman Mlnimized
Her Labor.

One woman who does her own
Homework, from preference, ends the
day with less fatigue than many
housewives who have an assistant.
She has kitchen cabinet, coal
range, and gas stove. and stool
just high enough to allow her to sit
comfortably before the ironing table.
Her house is as neat as any woman
! can call to mind. Her husband has
never ceased to marvel at her and
her achievements, but system and
thought are responsible for it all. 1t
cannot be very comfortable for man
to go home from hard days work
to find disorder, a tired woman and
picked-up meals. Left-overs can be
disguised, you know, and dainty
table appointments and an air or
serenity will cover many shortcom-
ings of the larder. The majority OF
men dislike the hustle of home dress
making and should be spared that
ordeal-and few others.-Montreal

Tells Readers How to Prepare This
Homemade Mixture to Cure the
Kidneys and Bladder and

Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and

and all forms of Urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on the
eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this simple
mixture, yet those who have tried it
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without the
slightest injury to the stomach or 9TH
err organs.
Mix some and give it a trial. 1t

authority, whose entire reputation, it

European Capital Seeking Colorado.

an interview said:
Comparatively few Americans are
aware of the fact that the eyes OF for
eign capitalists are focused upon the
commercial life of America. was sur
prised to see how thoroughly familiar
Europeans are with the development
and commercial advancement in this
country, particularly so in Colorado.
Their interest in tolorado's progress
and the opening up of what has been
practically undeveloped resources Is
unbounded and they stand ready TO
invest money in any legitimate oppor'
tunity that may be offered. This has
not been the result of any boom that
Coloradans have put forth but is the
result of logical conclusion that the
tremendous mineral wealth in this
state affords ample opportun y for
safe investment with fair dividends
at stated periods.
thousands of dollars are being sent
to America weekly for Investment, and
no inconsiderable portion finds its way
to Colorado. The time is past when
the speculative stocks. such as railway
shares and bonds, command the atten'
ton of the European investor, for the
huctuation in prices, many times un-
warranted, has caused the man OF
money abroad to pursue a much more
conservative policy, and in fact he has
become. if anything, oveIcautious. II
is much more difficult now to place
large blocks of railway stock abroad
than formerly. consequently the fnan'
cial tone of the old world is on much
sounder basis than formerly"
Oberfelder will leave shortly on an
extended tour of Old Mexico and South
America, where he has large interests.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want to pick the

reached when 1t was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "childrens flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
daisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
