THE COTTON INDUSTRY.

Alexander Hamilton Foresaw Its I'M
portanee In This Country.
There exists in the archives OF one
of the oldest among the cotton spin
ming families in northern New Jersey
long letter from banker OF New
York addressed to Alexander Hamilton
when he was secretary Of the treasury.
The banker had heard that Hamilton
purposed to build a cotton mill at Pat
erson, N. ]. This project the banker
condemned and stated that it was the
opinion of all the merchants In New
York whom he knew that not In hun
dred years would the cotton milling
business IN the United States employ
200.
Hamilton went ahead and planned
the industrial town he named Paterson
and also planned and financed a COM
pany for developing a water power and
for financing corporations thereat.
Hamilton's original company, known
as the Society For Useful Manufac-
lures, exists to this day at Paterson.
The agent whom Hamilton sent to
England to buy cotton mill machinery
was instructed to have it knocked
down" and placed in small boxes that
were to be marked "Bibles For the
Moravians of Pennsylvania" 1t was
at that time against the laws Of Eng
land to ship any kind of Industrial ma
chinery out Of the kingdom. Hamil-
tons brother and two of his agents
were caught trying to ship the cotton
mill machinery to Paterson, and they
were imprisoned for ten months.-Cot-

Profit Inpraft Mares.

We keep six heavy mares to do our
farm work-two three-horse teams.
All Of these mares are bred to the best
stallion we can find near home, and
We usually get two or three colts a
year, writes a New York farmer in
the American Agriculturist. All of the
mares are bred and worked about the
same until foaling time, when those
that have colts need about ten days
rest. Then they may begin work
again, only with a little better feed
and care. After the colt is weaned
he can be grown almost as cheaply as
a calf and If well fed at two years
old should weigh from 1000 to 200
pounds and can begin to pay his way
by working.

Poultry Notes.

There are many pet theories on how
to make the hen lay prohtably, but
here is the secret in a few words:
Feed her well, house her comfortably
and keep her free from lice.
The large producing hen is the re-
suit of unceasing care and effort upon
the part Of her owner.
You can't expect profits from the
hens unless you feed them right and
give good care generally.
The hen that is confined in a damp
house or must stand on a damp floor
viii never lay proftably.
The chickens need plenty of sharp
grit or gravel. It's what keeps their
teeth in commission.
