TOO LAZY TO GROW COTTON
Make Egypt Rival of Southern States Proves Failure.

The British government has failed in it's attempt to make Egypt a riVa of our south in cotton growing A few years ago considerable uneasiness was felt in this country lest the Brit ish would be able to develop the in dustry along the Nile to the extent that it would hurt our cotton growing But after spending millions of dollars irrigating areas and in experimenta' work tie crop last year was smaller than the year before.
 Laziness on the part of the natives is the principal cause. They will not work but prefer to steal or beg for a living. One enterprising planter took over large number of our southern negroes in the hope that they would make ideal laborers on his cotton plantations but in year or two they got as lazy as the natives and also re fused to work.
 In that country a strip of cotton is all that man needs in the way of clothing and as all he has to do to secure his food Is to steal a few ba- nanas every day work seems to him a useless effort.
 The British government Is very much discouraged over the expert ment so far and 1t looks as though the future is not likely to hold any fur ther terrors for our American growers unless some enterprising Yankee in- vents some mechanical cotton picker and adopts blows and cultivators that will run under their own power.

M THE SCRAP HEAP

Yor and desire to enrich his coun- trymen as well as to add luster to his own name and reputation. It was too expensive a transaction, however, and after the French government with drew its patronage and the French people declined longer to contribute, there came scandals without number that shocked the world, and De Les seps withdrew to France to die of a broken heart.
 In the abandonment the French com pany left on the ground all of it's ma chinery, some of which had never been in use, consisting of locomotives, steel ears, huge steel scoops and dredges. valuable tools of iron and steel, bridges that had been made in France and were ready to put together, huge cranes, levers and costly casting ma terial
 This costly outfit lay in the path of the American engineers when they came to dig the new ditch which Uncle Sam has in course of construction Some of it was covered with mud a foot deep; some of it gathered rust an inch deep in the forests of the tropics locomotives that cost thousands in i France lay upturned, the resting places of the swamp birds, and monkeys swung from one bridge piece to the | other as had done their ancestors

Worth Thinking Over.

One single swearing, vile-minded hired man will soon corrupt the boys of an entire neighborhood
 The city boy whose eyes open every morning on the blank wall of fiat building and who has never seen the sun rise or the clouds gather and the storm break as the country boy does cannot know the sense of freedom and joy and power which they convey.
 If we would help ourselves we can do no better than to be helping others.
 Maybe one reason why boys leave the farm is because their standpoint of work Is set at that of a full grown man-let up on the boy.
 We cannot hew close to the line if we have a private ax to grind
 The man who does his duty best never thinks of it as duty.

FIND YOUR NAME BY NUMBER

vibrations Of that number in two ways, as the compound number, 21, and as the sum of the two component parts 2 plus 1, or 3. I have many books tell ing what qualities and tendencies every number stands for, away up into the hundreds.
 Using this simple table, 1 analyze each of the names borne by the person l am studying. I then add the sum of the letters of the three names to- gether, coupled with the mothers maiden name. Only with all this data do I attempt to make a reading"
 But people don't name themselves" [" the reporter ventured, "and isn't it rather unfair that their characters and their luck should be determined in spite of themselves, at their christen- ing?"
 Science is seldom fair" she an. swered and people have only to change their names. Of course, fre- quently 1t would be rather inconve. nient to disturb the surname. But even If that is an unlucky one, the Chris. tian name can nearly always be manipulated to neutralize the bad | qualities of the other"
 That's why some women are so different after they are married?" was | suggested.
 Yes, indeed" said Miss Boyle, "and you know many unhappy marriages are simply the result of an unlucky combination of names"

PROGRESS MADE IN DAlRYING
Probably Greatest Advance Achieved In Cooperative Enterprises in
 That Industry.

Probably the~greatest advance in CO., operative enterprises among American farmers, with the possible exception of fruit growers, is found in the meth ods practised by dairymen, says Or ange Judd Farmer The growth of CO., operative creameries throu~hout the middle west, especially during the past 12 or 15 years, has been very eX- tensive. This movement began with the establishment of separating sta tions for receiving whole milk from farmers at the time of the introduction of separators of large capacity Some times these plants were owned by farmers associations and operated 1pon the cooperative plan. Some times they were owned by large creamery concerns, who received the milk from the farmers, separated it and paid each patron according to the amount of butterfat actually received. Sometimes this cream was sold in bulk to the big creamery concerns, while in other plants it was churned and the butter marketed direct
 The most complete cooperation is ,ound in those plants where the entire operations are carried on by the farm ITS themselves, but there are certain clements of cooperation in all of them. For instance, number of farmers could club together for the delivery of milk to the separating station and the return of skinned milk to the farms, thus reducing the expense and labor for all concerned. These receiving stations for whole milk have been dis placed in nearly every instance by cream receiving stations.
 This has been brought about by the extensive introduction of hand separa- tors, so that the actual work of sepa- ration is done by each farmer for him. self and only the cream disposed of. l In many sections this cream is re- ceived by local creameries, owned either individually or by farmers as- sociations, is churned and the butter marketed direct from there. In this case there are large amounts of but termilk to be disposed of as a by-prod- uct. If this is apportioned among the farmers, according to the amount of cream received, the amount given each Is too small to be of any value. So it Is customary to have the creameries dispose of the entire output of butter. milk for year in advance to some in. dividual farmer or group of farmers according to the highest bidder, and a return of from 25 to 50 cents per bar. rel may thus be obtained by the creamery for by-product.

Miss Zoe Boyle Explains Workings of Her Nomenclature System
 Not Fortune Telling.

New York.-What's in name? Nearly everything from a Sore throat to steady job, in the opinion of Miss Zoe J. Boyle of this city, who calls herself "a name analysist." She main tains that when one writes ones self "E-D-YTH-E, instead of EDITH, , one actually makes ones self a wholly different person. For, she says, as "Edythe" one may be more unlucky than when it's spelled with an 'I.'
 Tt isn't fortune telling" said Miss Boyle. Tt is the working of natural ordinary law. It means lot of accu rate, careful work Every letter ot the child's two or three names-Chris tian, middle and surname-stands for something. Then each letter is equiva lent to a number in several mathe matical tables which I use. The sim plest is like this" and she showed the following diagram.

A full pocketbook makes a sleepy conscience.

 A drop in the bucket is worth a whole half pint in the whisky barrel.
 This fall will witness the long need ed and general conservation of the straw stack.
 A hen as bird is poor singer, but nobody objects to the practise she indulges in. All is not gold that glitters, but a good many people take comfort ill thinking so.
 The conservationists who forget to conserve men miss the prime end or all conservation.
 A thick coat of manure on the corn land means warm coats for mother and the girls next winter.
 If you fool with every agent that comes along some agent is sure to come along who will fool you.
 Some men are sure they were meant for better world because they have made such mess of this one.
 Just as soon as a man is as old as he wanted to be he is sure to begin wishing he were younger than he is.
 merry heart doeth good like a medicine Cultivate the habit of cheer fitness, it is contagious and should be cultivated.
 It is good business to get good thing for the least possible money, and there isn't any secret in how to go about it. The farm workman who is always afraid he will do more than he is paid for, is not going about it in the right way to get more pay.
 Most of us like to say mean things about rich men, but very few there are who would refuse to change places with them, if we had the chance.
 Nine times out of ten, bad luck is nothing less than shiftlessness. There are great many more fools in the world than wise men, but the latter manage to control things pretty much their own way.

Remnant of French Panama Canal Goes to Melting Pots.
Costly Machinery Brought Over by Hackers of Ferdinand de Lesseps Being Sent to Furnaces to

Harrisburg, Pa-The ghost of old Ferdinand de Lesseps, the French en- gineer, would stand aghast were it to visit the yards of the Harrisburg Iron and Steel company and see what is be- ing done with the costly machinery and equipment which he shipped from France to the Isthmus of Panama in the '70s, to aid in the construction of the big ditch that was to be dug solely by French labor, conducted by French skill and paid for by French cash from the strong box of the banker and the humble woolen sock of the French peasant
 As all the world knows, after De Les seps had made such great success in building the Suez canal he was urged to greater efforts to build a canal across the Isthmus of Panama to con- meet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans i; and he set about the task with fer

 There was only one thing to do with this old stuff. and that was to gather it, ship it north and sell it for junk, to be remelted in the Yankee smelling pot, to make useful things. Tons upon tons of it were sent to New York and sold, and among those who got share was the Harrisburg Iron and Steel company. Thus far Harrisburg has handled 1,500 tons of this scrap. As none of it can be used for it's original purpose, as fast as it is received here it is cleaned of the rust of years and the mud of Panama and sent to fur naces, for there is always a demand for it, because of it's quality

Gator in Hens Nest.

New York.-A pet alligator owned by the family of Jesse Irving Taylor, 249 Broad street, Bloomfield, N. J., disappeared and had been given up as lost.
 Miss Jeannette Taylor, while gather ing eggs from the nests in the chicken coop was startled to see the head of the alligator sticking from under the wing of an old black hen sitting in one of the nests. The gator, Ted, was removed from it's comfortable quar- ters and placed in an aquarium. The alligator had grown considerably and judging from the number of shells found. had been subsisting on fresh eggs.

MARKETING OF COTTON CROP
Committee Appointed by Texas Cotton Growers Association Makes Prae-
 tical Suggestions.

At the recent meeting of the Farm ers' congress at College Station, com mittee was appointed by the Texas Cotton Growers association was ap pointed to study and make recon mendations as to what was best to be done relative to the crop this year. says Co-Operator. This committee met in Dallas and discussed cotton growing, ginning, hauling, baiing and marketing, and with the view that there might be system and eo-opera ton in marketing issued under their signatures the following recommends tions to the public:
 To the Cotton Planters of Texas and the Entire South: We, your commit tee on best methods of handling and marketing the cotton crop, beg now to recommend:
 1. That with the present prospects of short crop, no cotton be sold al less than 15 cents per pound, mlddllng basis, interior common points, ana that the same be marketed at a rate of not more than ten per cent per month.
 ?. That we urge upon all the great importance of diYersifications as the greatest factor that will enable the planter to control his cotton by living at home, and to that end we urge the planters to avail themselves of the education advantages of all demon -Y,iSl hV the gov ernment.
 8. That we indorse the idea of ma king cotton grading a part of our pub lie school curriculum, more especially in the rural districts, and appeal to our state legislature to make provision therefor.
 4. We urge the proper warehousing and care of cotton, to the end that 1t will become a safe and ready collateral and urge the hearty cooperation or bankers and financiers in assisting the planter to hold his cotton when so desired, by making liberal advances on same.
 5. We deplore the slovenly manner in which the present square bale. as a rule, is prepared and sent to market, and the gross extSavagance in and careless handling of same from the ginner to the spinner, entailfng need less time and expense in shipping, recompressing, etc., and recommend some package acceptable to the trade that can be compressed at the gin and go direct and rapidly from the gin to the mill or the ships side.
 6. We finally urge the planters to cover their cotton entirely with heavy bagging and keep same under shelter, either on the farm at the gin or in the cotton yard, in order to prevent country damage, waste, etc.
 We realize the consummation of the above suggestions to large ex- tent depends upon the widest public ity and we therefore request the press of the south at large to give space to same. and to our bankers, merchants, business men generally and brother farmers to give us their ablest counsel and cooperation in the common cause Of educating and upbuilding the agri- cultural classes, the hulwark of our national prosperity. Respectfully sub mitted,
