kilograms from Oregon saying the
legislature at the special session re-
fused to endorse Fulton for the ap-
pointment created a sensation here,
especially among Fulton following,
who had been assured the legislature
really wanted Fulton for senator and
that IL it had been free to act inde-
pendently of the restraints imposed
by Statement No. l, it would have
been for him with a liberal majority

sion when Chamberlain was elected.
The Fulton people were much sur

no promise had been made that 1t
would be sent.

GOOD FARMING.

The St. Paul Farmer, answering
it's own question, tells what good
farming is under three heads-a ro-
tation Of crops that will keep the
land clean and balance up the crops
in proportion to the condition Of the
soil; a rotation that includes pc
riod of grass, preferably clover or al
falfa, period of cultivation, and a
period of grain production. Next is
what is called factory farming
treating the products as raw mate
rial and live stock as machines to
convert the material into milk, beef,
pork, mutton or wool The third
step in good farming is to take care
of the manure so that the fertility in
it be not lost but restored to the soil
whence it came.

advantage over all other classes.
Most of their food comes directly
from their gardens and fields, and
from the home-cured meat in their
smokehouses, or from the chicken

PUT MORE BAGGING ON YOUR
COTTON,

Again we would urge our cotton
growers to put on bagging and ties
to the full per cent limit this sea-
son. If you put on less than 6 per
cent.-that is to say, 80 pounds on a
50O-pound bale, 26 on 450-pound
bale, etc,-it is simply matter Of
giving the cotton buyer good cotton
worth IL 1-2 cents pound when he
is paying you only for bagging and
ties averaging about IL cents a
pound. This is a matter our farm
ers have been entirely too slow to
understand.
The gist of the whole matter is
simply this: The price of cotton is
fixed by manufacturers who buy on
a basis of per cent. deduction for
bagging and ties That is to say,
they figure on 80 pounds tare for
each 500-pound bale; and on each
5OO-pound bale, therefore, they al
low a price for the gross bale suffi-
cient to pay for only 470 pounds net
of lint cotton. In other words, the
price paid per pound for the whole
500 pounds is lowered SO as to al
low for 80 pounds tare.
Now, the average farmer, instead
of putting 47O pounds of lint cotton
and 80 pounds of bagging into
500-pound bale, puts in 478 pounds
of cotton and % pounds of bagging
thereby putting in extra pounds
of IL IL cent cotton worth 81, in
stead of 8 pounds of bagging and
ties worth % cents.-Progressive

Get the young folks interested in

them and especially the girls on the

cal. Making success with ten or
twenty hens will tell powerfully on

young man. This small business in
wolves all the essential features of
the largest business in after-life.
1t demands study and care in plan

Importance of meeting conditions
successfully is brought out in feed
ing, housing, caring for their health,

contact with humanity in selling and
