A REeEnERArHp COTTON Farm.

During the past four or Eve years
the department OF agriculture at Wash
tngton has issued bulletins giving &c.
count OF some OF the best managed
farms OF different types TO be found
In the country With the-i idea that such
practical object lessons would be bene-
ficiai to other farmers not meeting
with so large n measure OF success.
The plan has seemed to be n decided
success, and much interest has been
manifested In the published bulletins.
The latest to be put out by the depart
ment Is farmers bulletin No. 1854,
which gives an account OF profitable
cotton farm In South Carolina. Seven
year ago, when the present owner
took possession OF this piece OF land, Il
was n played out, rundown PROPOSE
tion, type OF scores TO be found I'm
the cotton belt, producing but FIVE TO
eight bushels Of corn or 300 pounds
OF seed cotton per acre. The methods
adopted for its regeneration were a
deep and thorough cultivation OF the
soil, the use OF barnyard manure and
some commercial fertilizers, the rota-
ton OF crops and the exercise OF in
dustry and good judgment on the part
OF the owner. The farm contains 1872
acres. only half OF which Is devoted
TO crops. The first year the new meth
DDS were tried one and one-half bales
OF cotton and thirty-seven bushels OF
corn were produced per acre. At pres.
ent the owner gets yield OF two and
one-quarter bales OF cotton, eighty
i've bushels OF corn and eighty bushels
or oats per acre. He keeps twenty
four head OF native cattle. mainly for
the manure though they give him
small profit besides. From n discour-
aging and bankrupt proposition this
farm has been brought to the point
where It yields a large income and a
handsome profit. The bulletin, which
may be had by writing ones repre-
sentative or senator or TO the depart
ment at Washington, should be in the
hands OF every cotton state farmer
who is not making the most or his az
ricultural opportunities. 1t will give

How to Clean Jewelry.

Small articles OF jewelry. especially
the silver kind, will be difficult to clean
in the hands OF an inexperienced per-
son. since dull silver is more difficult
to restore to its former beauty than
gold. The best method is to immerse
the brooch, ring or pin I'm n solution
OF cyanide of potash. procurable at any
drug store. Do not let the liquid touch
the fingers. Let remain In the liquid
for two minutes, remove and wash In
hot soapsuds. This Will be sufficient
to restore the brilliancy OF the metal.
The best method OF cleaning chain
bracelets or necklaces OF gold Is TO
make a paste OF ammonia and whiting
and rub this into the tiny links with
n soft brush, afterward washing the
pieces In soft water and polishing with
a chamois.

How to Wash Windows.

Windows should never be washed
while the sun shines directly on them,
for this Is sure to cause streaks to ap-
pear on them. or course the glass
may be wiped dry as soon as II IL
washed, but this is twice the work,
since one must rub until the glass Is
perfectly dry. This is not necessary
II the sun is not shining on the win
dows, for 1t does not add anything TO
the appearance of the windows when
finished. If the glass is badly soiled
and II is necessary to apply a good
deal Of water to remove the dust and
stains, 1t is better to wash with plenty
Of water and then let the glass dry
and then sponge the window off again.
This Will remove all the streaks left
by the first washing. Should the glass
become too dry before you return to
finish the drying 1t may be sponged
over again with the sponge wrung dry
out OF hot water. Always let the win
dow stand for few minutes after
washing 1t before drying 1t and 1t will
dry much easier and in but half the
time

TIME TO WAKE UP.

IL Is becoming more apparent every
day to those who have n thought for
the future welfare OF our varied and
extensive horticultural interests that
congress should take up at an early
date serious consideration OF laws
which will secure n stringent and
thorough inspection OF fruits and all
kinds OF nursery stock brought into
the country or shipped from state to
state. Measures Of this kind have
been before congress at previous ses-
sions, but somehow the nurseryman
has seemed TO have n bigger pull than
the enormous fruit growing interests
OF the country. It's time this thing
was turned about and the large class
who suffer from the shipment of dis
eased nursery stock were given hear
ing. These people have representa-
tiyeB at Washington; but, as in n good
many other instances, It Is the "other
fellow" the special interest chap,
whose claims are first considered. To
show the need OF the enactment Of a
law~of the character referred to, there
may be cited from many instances the
importation last year on pear and APP
pie seedlings from France OF numer-
Gus nests OF the brown tailed moths,
the worst insect pest known, and the
scattering Of IL all over the country.
Much the same thing took place In
the case OF the European scale, resem-
bling the San Jose scale, which was
likewise scattered broadcast. These
are cases in which an ounce OF proven
ton is worth pound OF cure and
costs but an inhnitesimal part as
much. A number OF states have strin-
gent Inspection regulations, but these
only effect partial relief. Such laws
should be made nation wide.

posed to the tuberculin test as means

that If the tuberculin is injected into

overlook the fact that the culture

over, the extensive use OF the tubercu-
