sons in building homes and to make
loans in ways satisfactory to custom

Farm supplies may be purchased
from three we'll established firms on

Try them.
The Wake Forest cotton market
leads Wake county. The harmoni-
Gus cooperation betWeen Wake For
est cotton buyers n the Royal Cot
ton mills and other mills in this sec
ton keeps the prices above those Of
fered in nearby towns. This fact,
last season, increased cotton sales at
Wake Forest one hundred per cent,
and for the coming season a still
greater increase is probable. Last
year farmers found it to their ad-
vantage to haul their cotton ten miles
and more to Wake Forest. If you
have cotton to sell try the Wake
Forest market because it is always
'bullish.'

goods and grocery trade Of Wake
Forest is in the hands of men tried
and true in the business whose expert
ence enables them to meet the wants
of their customers and whose integ-

and reasonable prices. When the
farmer has received the highest price
in the Wake Forest cotton market he
can buy home necessaries at the low
est prices in our dry goods and
grocery stores. Try them.
Country produce always com
mands the highest prices at Wake
Forest, the market being stimulated
by the presence Of several hundred
college students. Chickens, eggs,
meats Of all kinds and all farm pro-
ducts will find ready sale and high
prices in the Wake Forest market"

THE HOME-LOVING BOLD WEEVIII
How a Little Bug Can Ruin the Credit
of the South.
(Harris Dickson, in Success

Harris Dickson, in "Success")
Unlike many other creatures, he
does not SOW wild oats in his youth,
but stays at home until he has eaten
all the blossoms and small bolls on
on his own patch. Then he migrates
to a neighboring country. He is a
good traveller, making forty miles a
year.
: When the good old summer time is
gone, Mr.. Weevil hides in the bark Of
a tree, curls up in the trash beside a
hedge row, or seeks u a knot-ho1e
in a fence rail. But the Suggest
is the dc cotton house, which stands
in every field. It's %crevices and cram
MES make ideal winter quarters.
There he hibernates through the WIN
erin the beetle or adult condition
and requires no food. Millions of
them die; birds search them out; but
when all misfortunes have Dee reck-
oned with, a goodly numbe Of them
survive. These generally come from
the latest brood that was Matched in
Generally speaking, the cotton
plants makes three crOpS; the bottom
crop, and middle crop, and top crop.
If the season be long and favorable,
there is a considerable crop made by
those late blooms which crown the
top Of the plant The bottom crop
grows very fast and puts on squares
more rapidly thar the young weevils
can consume. This may mature be-
fore the Weevils have multiplied sui
ficiently to destoy it.
BY the time the middle crop comes
on, the weevils are ready to sting
the immature oils. And there is no
such thing as gathering a top crop II

MARKETING GEM MELONS.

The picking is the most important
part in handling the crop and must
be carefully done. Caution the pick
ers to avoid stepping on the vines or
bruisfng the melons against each
other when putting them into the
baSketS
When a melon is ripe to pick for
shipment the stem parts slightly from
the fruit, SO that when picked no trace
Of stem tissue is left on the melon,
nor is any portion of the melon left
on the stem, as often happens when
the fruit is pulled too greer
At the proper stage for picking the
netting and skin also have a peculiar
grayish appearance, which is easily
recognized when one becomes accus-
toned to picking for the market.
In picking the melons in dry, hot
weather, when they are ripening fast.
it is best to pick early in the morning
and again late in the afternoon.
Use the haIf-bushel climax basket
for shipping the melons, each basket
holding sixteen melons of the ideal
shipping size
Sort the melons carefully before
packing and never ship any cracked
or over-ripe Or poorly netted sDeci-
mems.
Have them all as nearly the same
ripeneSS as possible.

A Place for WetherS.

It is said that fewer wethers reach
the market every year. And if the
demand for dressed lamb continues
to grow at it's present pace, and if
the range districts are brought into
close communication with the markets
the number of wethers sold will prob
ably be still less.
If the rangeman has very cheap
grazing and or too few sheep to run
his ranch to full capacity he has a
place for wethers. When prices for
mutton and wool are high wethers
will more than pay their way on al
most any range, but the profit they
yield compared to that from breed
inge ewes is much less, and breed
wethers are being discarded by the
more progressive sheepmen.
However, as a mutton product weth-
ers are desired in the hotels, restau-
rants, dining cars and steamships
where the heavier cuts may be used
to advantage.
Prime wether must be highly de-
veloped in form, quality and condi-
ton and weigh from 95 to 125 pounds;
however, wethers weighing 140 pounds
and even more frequently grade as
prime if all other conditions are right.
This class of mutton is used for ex-
port, although there is some demand
for it in larger cities Of this coun-
'try.-W. c.. Coffey. Illinois Experiment

A HINDoo's TOILET.
Curious Morning Scene In an East
Indian Compound.


al over the compound, from veran-
das and "go-downs,n forms are seen
rising from sleep, each one wrapping
the drapery Of his couch about him.,
with no idea in doing 50 of conforming
10 any standards urged upon the at
tention of the race by Mr.. Bryant, but
for the simpler If less poetic reason
that these draperies constitute his bed
ding by night and his neither garment
by day But do not make the mistake
Of thinking that because the require
nents of the Hindoos costume are
Bcanty his toilet is therefore q per-
functory matter Follow him to the
well. The chances are that you will
never drink water again, but you will
obtain knowledge. On the brink of
that great yawning hole in the ground
known as the compound well, whose
sides are of stone and whose steps lead
you down to the waters edge, behold
the males" of the compound. =. Di-
vested of the draperies already re-
ferred to and in attitudes ranging all
the way from the pose of the disk
Thrower'' to that of the most resolute
squatter upon a western claim, they
are lined up in row from the top of
the steps to the bottom. In the hand
of each is a chatty, and one and ali
are engaged In the offices Of the morn
ing bath. And their tub is the well.
The trimming ehatties are passed up
and the empty ones down, legs are
curried, feet are secured, teeth are pol
ished with charcoal and stick, threats
are gargled, noses trumpeted, and, in
short, the whole man receives such a
washing and splashing. such a rub
bling and scrubbing, such q molishing
and polishing, as leaves nothing to be
desired except in connection with the
we'll This latter consideration, how
ever, is one that does not disturb the
Hindoo, who, priding himself upon be-
ing externally the cleanest platter in
the universe, devotes but little thought
to the inside of the dish.
His additions and those of his col
leagues concluded, he fills his chatty
once more from the pure fountain be-
low, lifts 1t high ia the air, throws his
head back and with unerring aim pours
the crystal libation in one long, steady
stream down his open throat, skillfully
poised to receive and conduct it to his
germ proof interior. This done, his
draperies are resumed, and he departs
to his work.
Suddenly, as out of catapult, the
sun leaps up from behind the eastern
hills, and day is at hand.-Mary Ana
