Cotton Seed Selection.

Washington, June 30 Much interest
is being manifested at tire present time
in the vital questions of cotton seed Sc
lection and the better treatment of the
soil and in the general methods OF cul-
turc. In addition to the gathering Of
statistics and keeping Of records by the
census bureaus Of the United States
government several bureaus OF the De
partmcnt of Agriculture, workinc. i'm
conjunction with the State bureaus,
experiment stations and demonstration
farms, are rendering the cotton grow
ers valuable assistance. Especially
noteworthy are the endeavors of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, whose sug-
gestions, based upon practical demon
strations, may be briefly summarized
as follows:
l. Better drainage of the soil.
2. Use of more horse power and bet
ter implements.
3. Deep fall blowing, without bring
ing the subsol to the surface, and a
deeper and more thoroughly pulvorizcd
seed bed.
4. Increased quantities Of humus or
dccomposed vegetable and animal mat
ter, in the soil, accompanied by the use
of leguminous crops, such as peas, ctc.,
and by barnyard manure, farm refuse
and commercial fertilizer.
3. Ample space between rows and

Bryan on Prohibition.

Criticised for his attitude on the whis-
key question William j. Bryan has iN-
sued the following statement:
II have received many letters from
prohibitionists and many from oppo-
nents of prohibition and | have an
swered them all in the same way. I
have told them that | did not regard
the question as national question.
While it Is an issue in number of
States, | do not expect it to be made
an issue by either the Republican or
Democratic national convention. Ihaye
made it rule not to discuss questions
outside the platform because the cand-
date has no right to inject issues which
his platform excludes.
In answer tc questions about my
own record on the subject, have stated
that so far as my personal habits 90 |
am a tcetotaller, never having used
liquor as beverage; but in 1890 |
voted against the State prohibition
amendment because | thought the IL
cense system we had, with local option,
""S DSIISi Suilcu W Jnc COnllUlOnS we
had to meet in our State.
when an attempt has been made to
draw conclusions from this as to what
ought to be done in other States | cal!
attention to the fact that State laws
ought to be made tomcet the conditions
existing in the State and that what |
did in Nebraska could not be guide in
States where conditions were different.
''ln other words, | have refused to
give advice on the question in other
States because am not sufficiently in
formed as to the conditions in the vari-
Gus States; and have refused to dis
cuss it as national question because
do not expect it an issue in the cam
paign."

New York. attended the meeting to-

A Writer Who Thinks That Large
Fowls Are Not Most Profitable.

The largest profits do not always lie
In the greatest amount of money OBJ
tanned for an article, the cost of pro-
ductlon affecting the net gain very
materially
think no one will dispute me. says
VIII l.. Clark In American Poultry
Journal, when l say 1t viii require
yearly double the amount of feed to
keep a flock OF hens weighing from six
TO ten pounds each than would be re-
,qured to keep the same number weigh
ing, say, three and onehalf or four
pounds each. and at the same time
these smaller breeds cannot be excelled
when 1t comes TO Smelling out eggs.
Mr.. Clark goes on to say: Another
spoint in favor of the smaller breeds Is
that less room Is required, both in the
pen and In the yard. And a larger
.number can be kept on the same area.
The Hamburg has always been my ia
vorite, and they are certainly the light
est feeders and greatest hustlers of any
breed that has ever come under my
observation, and yet combine beauty
and egg production to a marked degree,
having long been known as "everlast-
ing layers"
II you are already established In the
poultry business and are satisfied with
the breed you have, do not change.
Stick to them, resolved to give them a
little better care In the future, and
success will be yours.
But IL you are just about to begin,
..lo 30, ffxf
some one of the smaller breeds, and
believe at the end of the year when
you come to balance up receipts and
expenditures that the results will not
prove disappointing.

Boyer's Hen clucks.

"Uncle" Michael X. Boyer, the
"dean of practical poutrymen," has
the following chunks of wisdom in
Farm Journal:
The mortgage lifting hen is in evil
deDce.
One years experience does not make
an expert poultryman.
Utility is the science and beauty of
the art Of poultry keeping.
Trained thinking and wise working"
Is the keynote of success.
The success you will have with poul-
try depends upon the care you will
give.
Open the doors and windows Of the
poultry house each fine day and let i'll
the sun and fresh air.
An increased supply of poultry prod
ucts of the highest class would I'M
doubtedly lead to an increased con-
sumption.
The poultry business is comparative
Iy easy to learn by ambitious, energetic
persons, and 1t is this class alone that
will gain marked success.
This is a practical country" writes
Judge G.. o. Brown, "and breeding
fowls for mere fancy or beauty alone
will never become popular. Beauty
and utility should be twins in poultry
raising"

Don't Crowd the Chicks.

Not more than fifty chicks should be
put together in one brooder, and in two
weeks these should be divided into two
lots Of twenty-five each. Where too
many chicks are put together they are
very liable to crowd and those in the
center become overheated and when
exposed to the air become chilled, and
bowel trouble and various other dis
eases set In and the chicks die very
rapidly from no apparent cause.

Extra Early Chicks

If you are not prepared to give extra
early chicks the right kind of care and
housing, better wait patiently for finer
weather for the first hatch. 1t is cruel
and loss of time and money to hatch
out the extra early chicks unless you
can give them the conditions necessary
to keep them in best shape and grow
ing rapidly.
