IT should be kept in the minds of all thai the safety of the cotton raiser lies in the same line of qBaltity-pr3d1 ton that hedges the manufacturer about. When it is evident that tas-r is coming an oycrErodnrtioI of a'.E manufactured article. the shops s-- range for T slowing Up This Is tka only safety in the matter of profitable production The machinery is put ta making something else, or it stands idle until trade picks up and inc de mand Is enlarged, This is the ontg sensible thinE 10 do under such cir camstancts In two ways this keeps up the price The first is by not ere atiag a=sufBlus that would either have ta be held tt a loss or HHloaded tt a sacrifice. and again it keeps the price in q condition If fiXity, q thing which cotton planters have striyen for for many years. This lesson should sink deep into the minds of tho whose interests are in the cotton fields. If too much cotton to reasonably supply the demand is raised. it must either . shrinkage, etc. must come out of the price it finally brings, or else it must go at such a sacrifice that somebody will buy it for sheer cheapness. It makes no difference how much soph- istry interested people may weave around the holding and warehouse proposition, these are self-evideIt truths The warehouse is a nzefui in. stituton, and it should be fully used to avoid dumping the whole crop into the market in a heap. as has been the custom heretofore, so c9ngCsting the market. ha yards. the transportation facilities. and so depicting the money market that those who buy must do so at a sacrifice, thus lowering the price for a time. That is the end and aim of the warehouse proposition and anyone with common sense enough to lead d blind goose to water ought to know this Whatever will inevitably affect the price of anything offered and usually sold on the market will affect the price and demand for cot ton. The remedy is dear easy: Don't plant too much cotton. IL is the duty of the union to look after this matter. It should be in a position to know what is the probable acreage. and it should deal this information ont to its members and they should act upon it in the same way the manufacturers act about their production. They have blazed the way to profit-making busi- nesses, and if the farmers have the sense to follow your leader" they will exercise the same sense that is exercised by the manufacturers. They will diversity and not diversity by simply changing from one crop to an other, but they will plant a variety of crops, and can thus meet varied mar ket. thus catching an even average of all the market.

 STRIKING RESULTS.

The Winnipeg (Canadal Free Press Of few days since contains account of the success that followed the ef- forts of William Knowles, an English man who located near Winnipeg, Man itoba. This Is but one of many let ters giving experiences of settlers, and should be encouraging to those who are looking about Tor new home in which they may better their conditions The following Is a copy of the article referred To.
 William Knowles. who cultiyates some twelve acres of land just below Mlddleohufch ferry on east side of the Red River has probahlY as fine dis p'4 ef horticultural products as any in stanltoba The whole of his hold in is in q high state of cultivation and literally crowded with splendid vegetable specimens, which have for tunately escaped damage by hail, al- though heavy storms have more than once occurred within a few miles The potatoes are a wonderful crop and he expects 10 raise l ,500 bushels from his patch of Az acres. A half dozen of tubers selected yesterday average more than a pound each. Adjoining the potatoes may be seen a marvellous collection Of tomatoes. There are COG plants. all growing under an enor- nous weight of fruit One single stock picked yesterday contained eighteen tomatoes and weighed four pounds. This extraordinary example of marvellous growth, together with some of the potatoes were sent to the Free Press office.
 The proprietor was the first in town with several specimens, inelud- ing green corn. The season has been favorable for onions. and one square patch of nearly an acre is looking re- markedly healthy In addition there are good crops of eabbages. eauliflow CT, turnips, parsnips, carrots. pump kins. marrews, eucumbers. celery, peas, lettuce, rhubarb etc. The floral de- partment has not been neglected and a charming display of all the well known blooms were shown including a specially choice lot of asters.
 Mir. Knowles, who gained most of his gardening experience in England. is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil for vegetable raising. and is gratified with the result of his first attempt at extensive horticulture.

Pure Eond.

The pure food law does not prohibit the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking Powders because Cream of Tartar is as pure as Alum-but 1t is a well known fact that a baking powder in which Alum Is used instead of Cream of Tartar is less injurious. Dr Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that pure Alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called Cream of Tartar powders. He says that if the quantity Of alum contained in a sui fieient quantity of baking powder for batch of bread or cakes for an ordi- nary family. be concentrated t3 one mouthful Of food and taken into the stomach of any one person. no matter how deicate, it could do no harm.

There are few CT no dema. gogues or politicians in il. Il stands for everything that will help the farm. CT. and the South has no organization that is more efficient today or that promises to be more helpful in the future It aims to induce the farmers who grow cottGn 10 act as enc man in the marketing of their chi cash crop, and It's success il that direction has been satisfactory and beneficial
 The ganlzati0n sitting at Little Rock has just placed a 15-cent mini mum upon the new cotton crop. There are plenty of men who will attacx this minimum. but the assailants are not farmers The farmers think that when all other products are cemmand- ing higher prices. cotton hould bring 15 cents The farmers are entitled te a larger compensation in an expen- siYe era, and the law Of supply and demand is supporting them in the,r reasonable demands The minimum named at Little Rock was not hurrieI- ly CT eafelessly determined It is the result of a cautious and comprehen- siYe survey of tae entire siuation, and if the members Of the union will stand loyally up to it. surprising good may flow from it. The prosperity of the South is tied up in the proposition and cordial cooperation on the part of the members Of the Farmers Un- ion can carry it 10 a glorious eonsum- mation.-Bfrmingham Age Herald.
