Plant Pure Bred Seed.

In our variety tests we have had
some varieties to yield from 500 TO
500 pounds of seed cotton per acre
more than other varieties in the same
tests and grown under identical con-
ditions of soil, fertilization and culti-
vation. BY increasing their best vari-
eties by only fifty pounds of seed cot
ton to the acre, at four end oIe-half
cents per pound, the farmers CT North
Carolina alone could add S2,25O,000
a year to their profits.
In a general way in all the tests
that have been made it has been
found that varieties having large
bolls and seed and possessing we'll
branched, vigorous growing stalks,
covered tt oroughly with bolls and
leaves, as Russell's Big Boil and Gull
peppers Improved, and some other
similar kinds, are the ones that have
generally produced the largest num-
Der of pounds of lint cotton per acre,
i. e., when thew are grown under soil
and climatic conditions that will per-
NIT their coLplete maturity before
frost. These are late maturing vari-
eties and it should be remembered
that late maturity in an upland cot
ton is a favorable factor to large
yield if complete maturity is made.
In selecting a variety one must not
be guided entirely by total yield of
seed cotton, for often between two
varieties producing about the same
quantity per acre, the one with the
smaller yield should be chosen be-
cause of its production of larger
amount of lint and. higher selling
price Of total products llint ana
seedl. 1t should be remembered that

Watercress For Spring Brooks.

Every man who has a spring brook
ought to get watercress set in it, since
it will give delicious green food every
season Of the year. A small amount
set out near the spring will stock the
whole brook in the course of a year.
Watercress has a pleasant, pungent
taste, somewhat milder than mustard
or horseradish, and will take care of
itself if once planted in a spring
brook where the water is clean. 1t
may be eaten raw or prepared as a
salad. 1t is as wholesome as it is
agreeable to the taste. Sprigs with
roots may be got from some neighbor,
or the larger seed houses should be
able to supply the seed. Either set
ting out plants in the winter or SOW
ing the seed imbedded in little mud
and stuck into the edge of the water
will give a good stand.

TIE COUNTRY EDITOR.
The Important Place Ee Occupies il
His Community.

Newburyport, Mass, News.
The able Portland Oregonian, pub
lished, as its name indicates, in a
Hcountry town" of over 100000 popu-
lation in the extreme Northwest, dis
courses delightfully."- and truly upon
the characteristics and privileges of
the country editor. 1t says that he is
far more than the butt for aged jokes
about his calling; that. he holds a
most important position in the COM
munity. It says that he is much near
er his readers than is the man who
writes for the nib city dailies that
while this environment may prevent
study Of ali the divergent phases of
human nature, such as may be found
in city, it admits closer communi-
cation with those which are more de-
sirable and shuts out others which
can never be conducive to human
happiness. 1t further, says that the
country newspaper has sent forth a
large number of men who have at
tanned high places in the State and
nation aud that on nearly all the big
newspapers of the United States will
be found men who begun newspaper
work in the Office of a country news
paper.
1t says, too, good thing concern
ing the newspaper as such, so good,
indeed, that we quote it entire:
"Therc are always more good peo-
pie than bad people in community:
and the newspaper, after all, merely
reflects the sentiment of the people
who support it. The newspaper can
not be much better or bigger than the
people it serves. For any healthy:
thriving city to fail to support a
good newspaper is nearly always
much more of a reflection on the
people than on the editor. The local
newspaper has become SO much a
part of the industrial and social life
of our country that the town or city
too small or too Indifferent to sup
port paper is of not much conse-
) gquence. !"
This is no more end no less than a
simple statement of fact. In every
Community Che newspaper respects
It's constituents, and it never fears
but, that Il st deserves ii, Its eonstitu.
ents will accord respect which is
fully reciprocal. And that it is the
aim Of every good newspaper to de-
serve respect is evidenced by the time
and money which it puts into the
effort to fulfill its community mission
even beyond the measure Of service
which the community of its own voli-
ton may require. Having made this
, effort and performed this service, il
is rarely disappointed of its reward
In any event it finds reward in the
consciousness of having done its du-
ty to the community and to itself.
Certainly not even the country news
paper has any need to be troubled by
what The Oregonian calls Gagged
jokes" It's editor is generally good
bumored person and correspondingly
philosophical. If he isn't he has
s"got in the wrong pew"

LITTLE coy KEPT SCRATCHING.

3When my little boy was six weeks old

not do much for him. The eczema got ::

Improved Methods Insure Cheaper
Goods.

For hundreds of years mankind
used the same. style and size of razor
and had no thought that it could be
improved until some genius evolved
the safety razor. That genius reaped
the benefit of his inventive talent by
charging from So to S. for each i'm
plement, people being glad to buy at
those figures. Now comes another
inventor who has made possible
still better safety razor, and for only
twenty-five cents. That sum in post
age stamps sent to the Book Publish
ing House, 1874 Leonard street, New
York, will secure razor postpaid by
return mail. This low price is only
made possible by the invention OF
scientific machinery which produces
wonderful results at small cost.

Dairy Hints.

Relv on cleanliness and GOODNESS
for keeping milk and cream sweet.
Drugs are not permissible.
Milk may be made bitter by the
vessels it enters not being thorough
ly scalded and cleaned. when certain
bacteria may develop that will make
the milk bitter.
If. living near town and making
butter a good trade may be worked
ND in buttermilk. The demand for
it will be as steady as the demand
for butter itself.
Unclean milk is the cause of thou
sands of infants being buried every
year; and that class of milk is pro-
duced by very large number who
would be indignant if told that their
milk was unclean.,
One practical dairyman puts a
thin cotton blanket on every COW ne
milks in summer. putting it on for
use during milking only. 1t keeps
flies from annoying the cow, causing
her to lash the mixer in the lace
with her tail.
Bitter milk is not always due to
cows eating weeds. Sometimes
cow that is along in the stripper
class rather far will develop the bit
ter milk habit, for some unknown
reason. Her milk should be kept
from that of other cows.
Shade and water-they are two
things that the milk COW must have
for good health or for heavy produc-
ton. 1t is strange. considering that
they really cost little, that so many
cows have to get along without them
or have them in insufficient quantity.
Cows that grow a very long bush
may get their tails filthy from drag
ging in mud or manure. and it will
aid the cause of cleanliness if such
bushes are trimmed slightly at the
end. They should be left as long as
they can be without dragging in the
mud, since the longer they are the
better they can chase flies.
You and your descendants for
many generations will wait and wait
to find thrifty dairy section with
impoverished sell. The dairy cow
would, with the right man to help
her, make the typical rundown cot
ton farm soil richer than it ever was
before; and she would keep it richer
and keep the farm profitable week
after week for generations.
Make it practice to give cats
milk after each milking, in a large
pan near the bins where the grain
feed is stored. Do not feed them
anything else or at any other place;
do not encourage them in any way
to stay about the residence, and they
will help to keep the rats and mice
from carrying off grain of much
greater value than is the milk eaten
by the cats. If cat is desired at
the dwelling, feed chat one there and
make her feel at home there.
Mr.. Farmer, do not get too enthu-
siastic and plunge into darying on a
large scale at the outset. Begin in
small way, read good dairy literature,
apply it to the work being done, prove
to yourself that you can make money
from the dairy; then increase the size
of the herd, secure cream separator,
provide facilities for cooling the milk
quickly, put up a silo in which to
store cheap winter feed. But do not,
in anyicase, get a larger herd together
than can e3cared for well. The labor
problem is a serious one. and neg
Iected dairy cows and dairy work
poorly done are quick means for
emptying the pocketbook. - Pro
gressive Farmer.

Study Your Soils and Crops.

The potato crop needs phosphoric
acid and potash far more than nitro
gen, and the lesson to be learned is
that we must study the manurial
needs of the particular crop we are
growing. With good second growth
of clover turned under 1 would have
used nothing on the potatoes but
acid phosphate and potash, and would
doubtless have gotten better crop
than this man who was so lavish with
nitrogenous manures and fertilizer.
1t ali comes down to the fact that
farmers and gardeners should study
their soil and their crops and then
mix their own fertilizer to suit each.
