Some years ago. [ purchased some
seed Of a highly improved Hubbard
squash and planted my whole patch
The seed didn't look exactly as [ ex-
pected it to look, from the small eX-
perience | had had with Hubbard
squashes but I thought q reputable
dealer ought to know his business.
Naturally, I supposed that they had
improved the seed when they improv-
cd the squashes-until the crop came
into evidence 1t was some huge
summer variety as long as q hoe nan

neighbors all tried them, but even the
pigs had to give up the job. When L

made to gather heads Of water on the
hills to break down and make gullies.
/ am glad that MIR. Bats is going
to try to see what can be done with
corn over field in a business-iike and
profitable way. There is far more to
be learned in this way than by the
wasteful piling on of lot of fertilizer
on q single acre. Good crops made at
the least cost is what we need to learn
more than big crops on an acre re-
gardless of cost
Another thing, too in Mr.. Bats ex-
perience should be adopted by every
farmer. This is the keeping of a seed
plot Of corn and cotton, and breeding
up the proiuuivity or the seed used.
I here is fully as much to be gained
in this way as through the improve
ment of the soil itself. Less land in
cotton and more cotton per acre
should be the slogan of the Southern
farmer. Fifteen-cent cotton is not go
ing to last, and the man who h1dres
from this years price that he cannot
afford to grow ans4ning but cotton. is
going to find out his mistake soon. The
high price and scarcity of cotton now
may prevent very low prices next year,
but a bumper crop the coming year
will certainly see the last of fifteen
cents pound.
AS DR.. Butler says, what we must
aim at is tIe building up OF the soil
by the restora ton of the humus that
made it fertile and productive when II
was new ground and [ wish that every
fsrmer in the South could realize what

it does to the man whose whole fate
depends on the cotton crop. Mr.. kyzaT

had returned the egg to me unbroken
[ would cheerfully have exchanged it
for another, but
The rising passion in Mrs. True
loves eyes rather alarmed me at this
point and I abandoned my joke prema-
tureIy, and handed her up two fresh
eggs from the basket under the Wag-
on seat. The extra one was intended
to salve her wounded feelings.
Put was il ali a +oke? l had repeat
ed to Mrs. True love almost word for
word what the hardware dealer in

ak L hought. A little less than half
the blade flew off on the very first
log [ tackled. and it was soft wood at
that. The man said he was sorry. and
that he had other makes which
ieht t,rn ont better. When I gently
limited that l had paid a hard dollar
for the AK and that / could have hired
a boy to chop halfway through that
hassWOcd log for good deal less he
said that the axes weren't warranted

it, he added. consolingly. he would
have been more than delighted to ex-
change it for anything he had in

said about the egg:
I remember to have bought a bag
Nf
which had seen better days. The
chickens turned UP their noses at it,
as much as the nature of the case ad-
mitted, but the dealer didn't seem at
all surprise, when [ mentioned the
act to him. I expected to see him
dive down into his pocket for half
my money. at least. but he only re-
marked that 'corn was apt to be that
way at this season of the year. I
have since learned by sad experience
that this is true.
The other day I paid an express
company forty-fiVe cents to carry q
little package $50 miles, and the agent
generously threw in q receipt. The
largest part Of the paper was taken
up with fine print. telling what the
