COTTON EXCHANGE IS,
 NOT A BUCKETSHOP

New York, March 12.-The appellate division of the state supreme court de- cided unanimously today that the New York cotton exchange is not bucket shop, but a legitimate exchange for trading in actual cotton. The decision was handed down in the case of Rich ard A. Springs and others against Day. i'd w James, Blalkely, Ga, planter James refused to settle claim for $4S,- 900 due on a cotton transaction on the ground that it had been contracted through gambling transactions upon which there can be no recovery" The court ruled otherwise. sustaining the lower court and a referees report.

Big Jump In Value.

Just to give you some slight idea of the enormous increase in the value of drugs, owing to the growing scarcity Of wild material take that hydrastis. It seems impossible to find any more growing wild, and the price has ad- vanced from 25 cents pound to the enor- nous sum of s2.90 a pound. It is dif- ficult to cultivate hydrastis. The cond- tions of soil, temperature, etc, must be just right.
 Some experiments with drug plants have proved a total failure in this country. We have neveD been able to get the seed of the econite bryonia to germinate here. There are climatic reas- ons why 1t refuses to thrive. It can be grown from bulb, but not from seed, and this restriction has prevented our adding it to the rest of the happy family of domestic drug plants on the little farm.
 Most of the plants you see growing here sell for 10 cents a pound, and I find the profit well repays the trouble of cul- tivation Some sell for more satisfactory prices. For instance, there is that bed of pulsatilla, remedy that is used to relieve catarrhal troubles. It sells for 50 cents a pound and there is an ever widening market for it as the natural sup ply gets scarcer over there is some felix mass, drug used for tapeworm. It is practically extinct in wild state in this country, and should be raised profitably in all states Also the spigeia marilan- dica, most valuable drug, which we are trying to cultivate here. It has ceased to exist in a wild state. The botanists who hunt drugs for the market have root ed out about the last plant, and it's worth no ones while to search for 1t any more. It must be cultivated or the

 Bugs Have Great Chance.
 Bugs are our greatest bugaboo. On account of the slowness of the plants in reaching maturity the natural enc mics of plant fife have unusual oppcr- tunity to get in their destructive work. Then the drug plants seem to attract them in some strange way. They ap- pear to have sn especial liking Tor the very material that the human family detests, and will only take them when or dered to by a medicine man. Possibly the drug plants are pehenclai 10 .ne insect world also, and the pests that are the chief drawback to success Ill drug farming are sick bugs drawing on natures remedies for ailments. What is good for men, women and children ought suppose, to be good for bugs.

 Pennsylvania Man. REAPS GOOD RETURNS From Crops of odd Nature-Takes Years for some to Reach Maturity. Hug Enemies to Be Rolled.
 Peculiar Plants.
REAPs GOOD RETURNS

Drug farming is a brand new industry and a most profitable one. It will pay anyone with common serse knowledge of the science of making the earth bring forth her increase, or even with plain common sense sans knowledge of farm irg. to try raising plants for medicinal use. The time is ripe. for the continual draining of the resources of field and swamp for material to alleviate human ills has resulted at last in drug famine, and the plants that have heretofore grown wild must now be cultivated.
 The pioneer sn this new farming indus trv is a weather-beaten little man who will answer to the name of Hellerman, but who has done enough for suffering humanity to entitle Tim 10 the full ben- eft of his complete patronymic of Lewis Elwood Hellerman. His drug farm is at Fox Chase, near Philadelphia, and to this novel cultural establishment journey medicine men and druggists in quest of material for their medicaments and also with roots and seeding plants for experi- mental purposes.
 The experimental drug plants are in- trusted to the care of the drug farmer, who knows exactly where to give them their start in life, whether they need shade or sun for their continued we'll being and when and under what condi tons they are likely to reach the stage where it is profitable to return them to the dispenser of medicines.
 It is a curious looking farm, like no ether agricultural reservation familiar Q rural eyes. Row after TOW of strange plants inspire the inquisitive visitor to question the drug farmer concerning the purpose Of their culture. Hellerfnan is always glad to give information.

Innocent Looking Plants.

There" said he, pointing to a long TOW Of innocent-looking green plants, is bed of the most deadly poison known 10 the druggist. Never mind the Latin name. The popular name Is hemlock. and it will cure human ills for good and all with the expedition of a rattlesaakes bite. It poisons in the most violent manner, producing teath from paralysis in particularly ugly form. Socrates, wasn't il, who com- nitted suicide with hemlock? Yet, like many deadly poisons, in the proper hands and administered in minute doses. il is a valuable remedy. Hem lock Is a profitable drug to cultivate, as II Is not plentiful and the prices ob- tained are high.
 The length of time it takes some of the plants to mature is what makes the business of drug farming one neces- sitating patient industry. Here. for in stance Is a bed of csrduus mariana. a remedy in common use for the unpoeuc complaint Of ringworm. The drug plant gives no trouble. but the drawback is that it takes four years to mature and in that time has just four times the chance to come to an untimely end from one of the hundred perils that attend plant life that ordinary farm produce has.
 A novelty over in that corner is to- baceo I grow it solely for medicinal purposes A small quantity is all that is needed. and I only grow 1t because I am occa asionally asked for it and don't want to be shy of any drug plant re- qulred by my customers. Here Is drug that l am cultivating to take the place of aconite. Its full name is too long 10 repeat, but I call 1t augustifolia, which is near enough for the occasion. This also is four-year plant. It's long time between crops l admit, but what do you think of ginseng, which takes eight years to bring to maturity. With plants as slow as that in reaching fruition it's time drug farmss were started everywhere to save the in- evitable famine in material for medi- cine
