hind in the ranks Of wealth-produceF
of the world. He must practice
wise rotation or crops, of not too long
periods, and in this rotation grass, or
its equivalent, is imperative. In
state of nature the average soil of the
great agricultural area of the United
States-East, West, North and South
was inexpressably rich in all the
constituents of plant food. The aver
age farmer has cultivated on the the
DRY that these constituents are IN
exhaustable. He and his father be-
fore him have cropped and cropped,
each year robbing the soil Of its treas
ure, diminishing it's power to produce
and adding nothing to counterbalance
the drain upon it. If agriculture con-
tfnues to follow this mad pace, she
will soon cease to count her bales, her
bushels and her tons by the billion.
Nature teaches another lesson. She
despises nakedness and vacuums. NC
sooner is piece of her work worn
out and worthless, thrown back on
her hands, than she sets her energies
to work to restore it. She plants the
waste land in something to hide its
nakedness and shield it from the sun,
it may be only weeds and brambles;
it's a beginning 1t may be reforestra-
ton, where once was virgin timber.
Her work of redemption is begun.
The Intelligent farmer can redeem
these wornout and abandoned lands.
He must have patience and diVest
himself of the "get-rich-quick" cross.
Use rigid economy. Save and apply
every pound of manure from the farm
yard. The henery, wood ashes, no
matter what-anythin that will feed
a plant and all unite to soil fertility.
Sow leguminous crops. Stimulated by
commercial fertilizers. Follow with
grass while the land is resting; let 1t
rest under covering of grass while
another plot is being built. At inter
walls turn the grass under for humus.
Raise a crop or two and return again
to grass. In proof of this millions of
acres of wornout lands in the East
have been and are still being redeem
ed by skillful and patient effort with
profitable returns to the farmers.

Back His Own Property.
Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker, had high temper and was
exceedingly sensitive. One day, exas-
perated by the Grass stupidity of a
servant, he threw a book at his head.
The boy ducked and the book sailed
out of the window. After it hurried
the msnial, but he was too late: a
passer5y had picked it up and walked
OFF vita it. Stedman began to wonder
what book he had thrown away, and
to his horror discovered that it was
a quaint and rare little volume for
which he had paid $50. His chagrin
was intense, as the work was almost
unique and thesprospects of replacing
1t were remote.
Some time afterward, when brows.
ing in a secondhand book shop, our
splenetic poet banker perceived to his
great delight copy of the very book
he had lost. He asked the price. Its
very rare" replied the dealer. "but as
you are an old customer I'll let you
have it for $40: nobody else could
have it for less than $50" stedman
gladly paid the $40, got home with his
treasure as soon as possible, and sat
down to gloat over it. A card dropped
out Of the leaves. It was his own.
Further examination showed that he
had bought back his property. II

And always want to buy
Every pesky thing they see,
Though the price be low or high;
But moneys gettin' awful skerse,

Till the hens begin to lay.
Ma wants BRAN new range,
And a kitchen cabinet, too;
Pa says we can't afford EN-,
And Ma is in a stew;
She frets and scolds about 'em
Most all the live long day,
And says she'll surely have EN-, too,
When the hens begin to lay.
Pa wants a new spring wagon
And f1rst-class set O gears;
Ma says he can't afford EN-
Unless he sells the steers;
Pa can't afford to sell EN-,
But then he needs the pay,
And l guess he'll surely get it
When the hens begin to lay.

When he asked cur monthly pay
And told him he could have it

COST OF COTTON.
What Shall the Reckoning Of Cost
Include?

Include?
| Look back through the long, hard
years since the war bugles ceased to
sound in 1865, and the tramp of
marching forces were no longer heard
in the land contemplate the fearful,
| awful struggle the cotton producers OF
the South have encountered and met
| bravely, and say if the manhood, the
culture, the refinement, the hopes and
ambitions and ideals, the very lives of
the Southern people, have not been
| absorbed in the production of cotton!
| Aye, and the womanhood and child
hood of the South, too, for the United
States census in its last report chron-
icles the cruel fact that $4,000 South
ern white woman and their children
have been forced to toll in the cotton
fields, and why? Because the cotton
producer has been robbed of his herit-
age, the product Of his toll, because
of the unjust system under which he
must market his crop.
Go to the Eastern cotton mills, go
to the Southern cotton mills, go to the
European cotton mills. See the pol.
ished spindles as they Whirl, drawing
GU the fieecy staple into long strands
of thread into huge bundles of yarn,
and in their very whfr you will hear
the signs of the Southern mothers as
they shopped, or plowed, or picked the
locks, and the means of the little girls
and boys as they dragged along the
heavy cotton sack. Look upon the
looms See how accurately, how won
derfully they weave the meshes of the
yarns into cloths. In every mesh of
yarn, in every yard of this cloth, is
woven the tears of Southern women
and their heartches and the injustice
and wrong that greed and graft have
heaped upon them. Shall not these
things be charged up in the cost bill?
Look at the young Southern farmer
girls and young men who, because
they had to give the years of their
childhood and youth to labor in the
fields to ward off starvation, have
grown up in ignorance without the
blessings of an education and without
the graces and benefits that education
give, and answer if this should not be
included in the expense account?
Many and many and many father
and mother and their children have
been forced to remain at home on
Sundays from church or Sunday school
because they had no clothes to wear,
being thus deprived of the consola-
tons and the training of religion.
Will you say that this can not enter
into the cost of cotton production?-
