. For Cotton Select Prolific Stalks.

In selecting cotton seed we should,
in North Carolina, have especial re.
gard to earliness. An extra large boil
is usually an indication of late ma
turing cotton, and is apt to be long
jointed. We need in this climate a
bushy, short-jointed cotton of a pro-
life character, and we should have
marked the plants that come nearest
to our ideal cotton plant before any
picking has been done, always select
ing from plants Of the best habit and
those that open earliest, selecting only
the first picking for seed. The later
pickings may make just as good and
prolific plants, but the chances are
that in the matter of earliness the
seed from the first picking will be
best
Do not take this cotton to the gin,
but have little hand gin at home to
prevent getting the seed mixed with
every one else's cotton. Then next
spring plant patch especially for
seed and continue the selection. Make
a careful selection the first time even
il you only get seed enough to plant
the seed patch. Every season you will
get closer to the ideal cotton plant,
and every season your neighbors Will
be taking more and moye interest in
your cotton. Cotton is a plant that
responds to careful seed selection very
quickly, and on the other hand runs
back very quickly when carelessly Sc
lected. The King Cotton for a year
or so was a very uniform cotton, but
of late it is hard to find field Of

THEY WON'T SHUT DOORS.
And They Will Ride Backward, Re.
ports Traveller of Engishmen.

Travellers returning from England
tell Of two habits of the people OF that
country which impressed them. One
is the average Englishman's aversion
to shutting the door behind him.
Il don't know how it is in the Eng.
fish houses" remarked one who re-
turned recently from abroad, for 1
w0s not in one of them, but l stayed
in hotel in London where there were
good many English people, and a
dozen times daily 1 had to get up and
shut door to keep the draught away.
ut didn't make any difference
whether it was a servant or guest
who went through, the door was left
open. This was in the spring of the
year, too, when the weather was chill
ly. l noticed the same thing in rail-
way coaches and hotels of smaller
towns"
The other English popularity is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with its back to the engine
every time, plant himself down in it
with every evidence of comfort and
look Wonderingly at anybody who
picks out seat facing the direction
the train Is going. Not once did one
American travelling in England see a
native choose seat facing the front
of the train unless there were no
other seats.

But it Is astonishing that so many
farmers are content to go along in
such reckless and improbable way.
fney never have definite knowledge
OF their business operations. They
know not whether it is the COWS or
pigs that are carrying the mortgage,
whether it is the sheep or the chick
ems or the corntield that is failing to
pay expenses. They feed timothy hay
because they have it, and they have
1t because it Is easier to cure than
clover, and know not that there is a
better feed than timothy and better

isn't enough to know how to hold a

he plows, when best to plow, how
best to do for a particular crop or
season. 1t is not enough that he know
how to milk cow. He must know
how to feed her SO she will do her
best, and he must know how to breed
her so she will perpetuate a better

whether she is worth keeping at all or

The Farm Needs Sheep.

A farmer who has long been keep
ing sheep and has observed their hab-
it's of feedino says:
Sheep are oftentimes spoken Of as
nuisance by some people, but wise
land owners give them credit as being
great renovators of rundown and worn
out farms and even call thief fertility
eonservers.
They are the latter, and more, too.
The life and habits oS sheep make
them not only conservers Of fertility,
but distributors of it where most need
ed, If given an opportunity. Though
sheep are averse to water and always
seek an elevation for their resting
place, they do like the succulent
growth, even though it be weeds,
found in the lowland of field or pas
ture which mas been enriched by wash
ings from the higher surrounding land.
"These two peculiaritfes of sheep
once came under very particular OBJ
servation. When turned some sheep
into clover field they at once sought
OhGA JAC GpOI0 WAAG1 = CnC SAoECL ulN nOJ
catch and eagerly devoured any weeds
or pigeon grass that had taken pos
session of the spaces. They then
sought the weeds and succulent grass
in the low places and runs in the
fields, leaving the clover ON the high
land, where most needed to enrich the
soil, untouched, only touching this
grass when practically everything else
had been eaten.
more than this, when night came
the sheep sought the higher portions
of the field for their resting place and
their droppings there deposited the
fartility gathered during the day from
the lower land, thus conveying back
what had been washed away through
the process of nature and cultivation.
A farm upon which sheep are kept
ought to be not only fertile, but also
evenly fertile.

Hints About Making Good Hax

Haymaking claims the attention OF
farmers just now and should be
pushed with all possible vigor. The
high prices that have prevailed should
stimulate hay making.
Grab grass is allowed to go to
waste that could be made into a fine
quality of hay If cut at the right time
and properly cured. Comparatively
few of our farmers cut crab grass as
early as it should be cut to make the
best quality Of hay. 1t should not be
allowed to stand until the seed are
ripe, nor should it be allowed to lie
in the sun after it is cut until it is
sun-killed before cooking or stacking.
Cut when the seed are in the milk or
dough state, permitted to take the
sun a day, then cooked and cured in
the cock, it makes a hay about equal
to timothy hay.

Ranchman's Novel courtship.

Louis l.. Kramer came all the way
from Yuma, Cal, to marry a girl he
had never seen. The bride was Miss
Flora Weise, a pretty young woman
Of Tazewell county.
The groom wrote to his aunt here,
Mrs. Patterson, to put him in COM
munication with girl who would
make him good wife, as he was lone
ly on his ranch in Colorado. Mrs.
Patterson recommended Miss Weise,
neighbours daughter, and corresponds
ence was begun.
The girl was taken with the ro-
nance of the affair and when photo
graphs were exchanged and proved
satisfactory a proposal quickly fol-
lowed. An acceptance was written
and then Kramer came east to claim
his bride. The marriage was cele-
brated the day after his arrival and
the couple departed Immediately aft
erward for Yuma.-Denver News.

Take Your Eyes to the cornfleId


This is the time to selet the seed
corn in the field, provided it has not
already been attended to. It has been
fully demonstrated that varieties bear
ing two or more ears to the Stalk
wall yield more corn per acre than
varieties bearing only one ear to the
stalk. At the Edgecombe Test Farm
last. year there was a difference at the
rate of about twenty-nine bushels per
acre in the yield of different varieties
of corn, and the yield at the other
Test Farm of different varieties bore
about the same ratio to each other.
These facts should impress us with
the importance Of seed selection.
In field selection, we advise taking
for an ideal a strong, vigorous, sym
metrical stalk, not too high, bearing
two or more good well-shaped ears,
some four or five feet from the ground,
and that have medium shanks SO as
TO permit the ears to turn down and
shea the rain. We do not advise Sc
Letting ears that stand upright so as
to permit the rain to run In and cause
the grain to rot, neither do We ad-
wise the long shank SO often seen in
corn. A medium between the two ex-
tremes Is best. Use care in selecting,
for if one selects only dozen or two
stalks in a day and the stalks so Sc
leeted are of the ideal type for plant
ing a seed plat, it will be time well
spent. Make a start on such selection
this month.

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to TabuGats the
Beasts That Perish.

Every now and then some natural
ist endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestow mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.
As Nurmann remarked to a recent
meeting of naturalists at the museum,
to which he presented his Catalogues
Mammalian" the species Of rodents
known in 1880 were only $40 in num-
Der; now they are 1900. The num-
Der has thus, at least, doubled in 81
years. The number of living species
of this creature now known is about
1900, divided among 100 genera. This
family is the most numerous Of the
class of mammalia.-Wissen fur Alle.
