BETTER HASTEN SLOWLY.

Now Is the time to think about the price of cotton next fall By diversi- flying and properly restricting cotton acreage, the total yield can be kept within limits where the price will be satisfactory. That Is really the only sure way of playing the game. The spectators have all along tried to frighten the farmers with two bug bears; first, that the mills had sup plies 10 last for two years; second, the mills would close down. Well. an idle mill is dead loss to the owner. it can not he turned to anything else; whereas the farmer can change his cotton factory to q corn, oats. wheat cabbage and potato factory and still manage 10 get returns for his invest ment and and his labor. Hence. if the farmer will but intelligently regulate his prices by the law of supply and demand. there can be no reason. out sile of his own lack of eohesiyeness, why he should not win the day Nat u.ally. the spinners try to get cotton as cheap as possible and no one planes them for that. Why then cen slre the farmers when they try to get the best price for their products? --Belton (Tex) Journal Reporter.

Save all the Manure Possible.

Keep the stable lot well filtered with leaves and straw for the stock 5 sake and for the lands sake, is the advice given by the Southern Farm Gazette 4 load of manure in the sta ble is worth more to the farmer than a sack of fertilizer at the factory There is a great deal more in stable manure than mere plant food It con. tains myriads Of bacteria that in some way unknown to the average farmer break down and liberate plant food in the soil. which make it of far more value than commercial fertilizer con taining an equal amount of plant food. Save all the manure possible. If il does not lessen the fertilizer bill it will increase the crop production.
 On days when neither blowing no, other work can be done. if they are convenient to the field. it, will pay t5 haul routed leaves and throw directly on the land. The fertilizing value will justify the hauling. and the organic matter added to the soil will also be helpful.
