Before the var the disposal Of cotton
seed gave the ginners great concern.
1t was usually hauled away somewhere
to rot, or dumped into a neighborip--
stream, where it soon became a Md
sance. The old laws of Mississippi
and other States provided severe pen
alties for ginners who did not dis
pose Of it in such a way that it would
not be a menace to public health.
To-day the uses Of cotton seed are
so numerous that the census office has
published a diagram showing the
courses which the foul parts Of each
little seed may take. These ere CLASH

The following points should be kept
In mind when sorting apples for stor-
age: 1) Only the better grades
should be stored. (2) They should be
stored as soon as possible after pick
ing. (3) Only hard ripe" fruit will
keep well in cold storage. az A uni
form temperature of 81 to 80 degrees
F. is best. (5) They should be put on
the market as soon as they reach their
highest maturity or before. A mid
winter variety is best marketed in mid
winter. CO. Apples with color do not,
as a rule, scald as readily as other
kinds. The Mammoth Black Twig is
an important exception. CD The quail
ity Of the fruit is maintained better In
storage when the fruit is wrapped.

The Wcaniag Colt.

WEAVING time is a very critical ne
Rod OF the colts life. If the colt is set
back at this time it will mean n loss
of Size that will never be made up. If
properly handled, however, there need
be no sacrifice. In the first place the
colt should be eating grain long before
it is weaned and the more it can be
persuaded to eat the better. We never
fear overlooking of colts up to the age
of eight or ten months. While sucking
the dam the amount of grain it will eat
will be very small, yet the returns
from this feed are very good. Oats ara
of course the best feed for colts and If
there is any kin of stock on the farm
that it will pay to feed high-priced
oats to this winter it will be the young
colt and the amount Of feed they will
eat will be very small compared with
the benefits accrued. When changing
to dry feed the colt is very often trou-
bled with constipation. Occasional
feeds of dry bran or bran mash will be
very beneficial in relieving this condi-
ton. Wean the colt gradually, don't
chop off it's milk ration all at once.
We have always tried to let the dams
do the weaving themselves, allowing
the dam and colt to run together in the
pasture, making things as easy for the
brood mare as possible. When cold
nights come put both Of them up in
the barn. Have a strong halter and
rope ready for the colt. Then when
winter comes the colt will be broken
to stand we'll in. the stable and if it
has become gradually used to depend
on dry feed it will be weaned and hal
ter broken without ever having caused
any great trouble or without having
damaged it's growth in the least.

A wEALrH.sAPPINe SYSTEM.
New Public Utilities Managed In
Way That Richards Progress.

1t should be borne in mind that the
investment of outside capital. the
ownership of public and semi-public
utilities by others than residents of
community, is a serious thing for the
people residing in the place. In west
ern cities there are hundreds OF Illus
trations of the working out OF this
plan of securing public utilities. There
Is need of a water-works. Outsiders
come into the field with proposition.
The city or town council is approached
and the final result is that franchise
covering rs to so years is granted.
The works are built. People are then
compelled to pay highest rates to
meet interest on bonds and watered
stocks. The company perhaps pays
taxes less proportionately than the
residents of the town are compelled
to pay, and the only money left in
the community that is earned by the
operation of the plant are the taxes
paid, the wages of the few laborers
employed, and the salaries that few
STRAW" officers draw. All the profits
are drawn to the owners of the plant
In some other city, generally Wall
street, New York. Thus is built up
a system that draws the money earned
in the community to some other place.
1t is the same with street-car sys-
TENS, electric and gas lighting plants
and all other semi-public and public
utilities under private ownership, and
in which outside capital is chiefly in
vested.
h< al 1,,
home capital, all the earnings would
be retained in the community, to seek
investment in other improvements and
the people would receive a general
benefit. There is no argument that
can prove that foreign ownership Of
any enterprise is good for a commu-
nifty. Any system. 1t matters not
whether in commercial line, financial
or other branch, that takes from a
community the earnings of the people
and uses them for the enrichment Of
other sections. is a wrong system.
Let business men OF every town get
these facts fixed indelibly in their
heads. Let commercial club enthusi-
asts settle down to the fact that when
through their work any enterprise is
built up that means continual drain
on the resources of the place, it is
better there be no commercial club.
II there are any enterprising citizens
enough in place to invest in their own
town in this way, the town should
have no difficulty in stimulating a
municipal ownership sentiment and
have the good work carried on. Com
mercial clubs are all right, but 1t is
often that they are operated all wrong
than all right.

PEA wEEvILs AND THEIR WORK,
Examine Your Seed Before Planting
To Discover Presence Of Pest,

There is only one generation Of the
pea weevil each year. says s. A. John
son OF Colorado. The eggs are laid in
early summer on the outsides of the
pea pods when the young peas are Just
beginning to grow. They are deep vel.
low in color and glued fast with
sticky substance, which turns white
on drying.
When the eggs hatch, the young
grubs burrow through the pods and
into the peas where they live and
grow until after the pea is ripe for
harvest.
The presence Of the weevils in the
peas may be readily detected when
the peas are picked for table use by
the presence of dark spot on the
surface. as though the pea had been
pricked.
Before going into the adult stage
the grub gnaws a round hole nearly
or quite through the skin of the pea,
so that 1t may escape when the proper
time arrives.
A careful examination of the peas
before planting ought to reveal these
holes II they are at all numerous.

MAIL ORDER HOUSE EVIL.
System Keeps Many Agricultural
Towns from Advancing.

There is no use in claiming that
mail order houses are illegitimate
concerns. They are entitled to exist
as well as the small merchant. There
can be no doubt as to the perfectness
of the system that they are conducted
upon. No use In denying that now
and then they fail to give satisfaction
to their customers. So do the mer-
chants in all lines of trade. He who
believes that these great concerns are
not injurious to the merchants in the
smaller cities and towns knows little
about their operations. Then how is
1t that the mail order houses are In
furious to the people of the land?
Great economists agree that 1t is the
concentration of capital and power in
the large cities wherein rests the dan
gers that threaten the people. The
mail order houses are great factors in
this concentration. They are suckers
of the blood of the country, the
mediums that take from communities
where 1t is earned the money that
should be retained by the people for
the development and enrichment OF
their own communities. Herein is the
mail order house evil. On these
grounds all wise people will do what
ever lies in their power to head on
the greater growth of the system. Any
system should be retained within Its
limits for the greater development: of
its resources and general enrichment,
is bad system and should be decried.
1t is not sufficient that the consumers
retain the profits that should go to the
tradesmen of the place. By this there
is little development of industry. The
towns and cities lose the business that
is necessary to employ the people.
while the wealth to an extent may be
retained.

The west is the section that pro-
duces the wheat that supplies the ma
ton with bread. In almost every
wheat-growing section there are -four
ing mills. Yet how often do we find
that people Of these districts demand
flour made in foreign place. This
principle is wrong. There is a loss
to the district. When wheat is shipped
from one state into another or from
the district where 1t is grown to some
other district and then made into
-four which is returned to the people
for their use, there is considerable
loss to the community. There is the
commission to the grain dealers, the
freight paid on the wheat, and the
freight paid on the flour back to the
place, and not least is the employment
of labor in the manufacture. There is
much to be gained through the pat
ronage of every home institution,
whether 1t be manufacturing enter
prise or mercantile concern. The
community is made weather. by
keeping in 1t all the dollars that are
the result of the labor of the people.

AN ACRE or PEACHES.
Illinois Farmer Succeeds In Turning 4
Good Profit from Trees.

John A. Gage. nurseryman of JEFF.
ferson county. ILL.,. has an acre of
peach trees that is proving very profit
able. 1t contains III trees. and for the
past few years has netted him about
500 per year. 1t is only nine years
old. The crops this year was a very
good one and the high prices paid for
peaches made 1t more than usually
profitable. He shipped TIT crates of
peaches to Chicago and received for
the best ones $1.40 per crate. In each
of these high-priced crates there were
40 ~ A peaches. which made the price
a little more than three cents rsr
peach. He sold altogether 259 bushels.
His net receipts were about $3.50, after
deducting commissions, freight and all
expenses except picking and packing.
Examples like this are what stimu-
lates farmers to continue to try to
grow peaches, in spite of the many OBJ
staoles in the way.
