FIFTEEN CENTS.

Cotton is worth 15 cents. That all know who know that cotton is planted In April and worked until July, then picked in the autumn, and the picking Is as troublesome and as costly as the working in the springtime. Cotton is the costliest crop in the world in la bor, and labor is the chief cost of any article produced by man.
 Already the manufacturers, the wholesalers and the retail merchants nave put up the price of cotton goods above where it should be even with 15-cent cotton. One cheap class Of cotton goods that weighs one pound to five yards has been advanced one cent yard, or five cents pound, to meet the advance of one cent in cot ton. Spool thread has been advanced more than $1 pound because cotton went up 3 cents a pound.
 The farmer ought to get part of this. He does the hardest part of the work, the cultivating and the pick ing. He bears the sunshine and the dew, and when he gets his part he sells it at once and proceeds to spend the money, and what he does not spend is put into the bank. where it can be borrowed. The farmer does not spend enough of it at his home, on his women folks or on himself If he gets 15 cents he may feel like spending more and having more and making his home pretty. He will keep better stock and be better GUS toner of the merchant. In fact, we will all be better off if the farmer gets a fairer shart. h. deX.

D. J. Neill, president of the Farm CTS Union, says truly:
 There is one thing that I want to say, and that is that our jury laws are badly wrong in one particular, and that is the pay allowed jurors. Farmers are brought in from their work, sometimes twenty or more miles, and compelled to serve as jur- ors at $2 day, with no mileage al- lowed, and then have to pay their own board while serving the State. This is unjust. I think they should be paid S3, and even that is not enough; but at any rate, they should be allowed for their board and mileage. Arkan- sas and Alabama jurors are allowed so much day and board thrown in, and if those States can stand that, why not Texas, that is so much wealthier than either of them? A farmer cant afford to leave his work and pay board in a town for $2 a day. His time is worth as much to the State as to himself, and he should be paid accordingly

NUTS.

Tie constantly increasing consump- tion of nuts throughout the United States is an evident indication of a growing demand for them as an ar. ticle of diet. As their use has in. creased many persons have turned their attention to the growing of na- tive and foreign nuts on a commercial basis Many special nut foods have also been prepared. Nuts being a con- centrated food, to have a beneficial eff. feet, should be eaten in connection with a meal, rather than alone This is especially true when there is a dis position to imperfect mastication. Salt improves the palatability of most nuts with some people, but does not add to their digestibility. Nut candy is a highly concentrated form of food when properly eaten. Although very rich in protein, they are more expensive than meat, excepting the peanut. When ten cents is spent for peanuts, it will purchase more than twice the protein and six times the energy that could be bought for the same expenditure in porterhouse steak. It is of more than passing interest to note that ten cents worth of peanuts contain more protein and energy than is furnished by many rations which are regarded as adequate for a day. Although pea nuts supply protein energy for small CT sum than bread, they are outranked by dried beans As whole, nuts may be classed among the staple foods and not simply as food accessories-Fro Nuts and Their Uses as Food.
