WILL THE PRICE OF COTTON GO

Nearly every day / hear this ques-
ton discussed, and while there has been
small advance in price since Christ
mas, the price is still lower than san
guine farmers expected It to be the last
Of January.
guess there will be some appre-
ciable advance before much guano is
sold, or guano selling will also be re-
duced very considerably.
I once heard an old farmer say:
while they have always got us, they
play with us a little about cotton plant
ing time to make us pitch in and plant
crop, and buy supplies and imple-
ments. 1t won't do to press us down
all the time or trade would be dull and
the crop short"
It looks much that way and while
there may be a fine crop grown and
prosperous times ahead, 1t looks very
much like 1912 is going to be a close
year and there are a great many I'M
certain people in the. country as to the
future.
But there should be commonsense APP
piled to every farmers plan and policy.
If he must farm to make living, then
he should set about 1t with hearty
good will and do his part well, just as
though everything was fair and pros
porous.
[ have known lately of two tenants
who rented land, signed contracts and
made a good show of going ahead, but
who flung up, quit. and not only made
it hard for themselves, but for the land
owner, who supposed they would come
up to their contracts, and turned of
other good men who would have done
a good part with the land. Such people
will find hard times another year, and
their folly will react upon themselves
eventually While credit and character
are valuable to all men, it's the poor
mans credit and character that is his
best inheritance. 1t does not take the
merchants long To find out who will
stick to his bargain, and while sorry
man can beat his creditor one time, the
sorry mans reputation will beat himself
dozen tim rs.
In the long run it is better to work
under difficulties in one season rather
than throw away this reputation fol

QUEEN vICToRLA's SON HAS BEEN
TO SEE US FOR A MINUTE.

Royal families die out just like plain
families die out, and the people of New
York and Washington city nearly ran
themselves down to glimpse Victoria s
only surviving son, when he ran over
from Canada and made short visit to
the above named places. The gentleman
is doubtless accustomed to man-worship
where he was born and expects the wor-
ship, but he found our snobocracy just
as anxious to gaze upon him as in Eu-
rope, and they crowded the streets and
packed the sidewalks just like snobs will
do everywhere under such conditions.
The duke reached Washington at 4
D. m, nearly night, rushed to the White
House to shake Mr. Taft's hand, was
out and gone again in Is minutes to the
British legation, where he ate fine sup
per and where President Taft returned
his late call, and by midnight he was
in the railroad train and off to New
York, and that was exactly what he
saw of the capital of the United States
and all that is located there. But our
snobs nearly fell over themselves and
the newspapers have been flooded for a
week with the dukes visit, and the hon
or conferred.
According to Puck, What fools these
mortals be!' I never hear of such a
demonstration that I do not think of
Samuel the prophet, and the fool-people
who clamored for king. II is just the
same spirit which moved the snobs to
stare at and fall down in worship Of
a member of the royal family of Great
Britain.
But our snobs will fall down before
anybody that is very rich, as we'll as
royal born The newspapers fill up with
pictures OF rich men and women, who
must have secret detectives at all their
big parties, and keep costly jewels lock-
ed up in hank vaults to keep them, but
the snobs will actually fall over them
selves just to look at the owners when
maybe not one of them ever gave an
hours thought or service to the good
of the people about them in all their
| lives.
American snobs are plentiful They fall
down and worship titles and money, The
duke did not care the snap of his finger
for one of them, but they gazed and
/ they worshiped.

or iron or wool or anything else that
big CONGO rms deal in. Much of the pres
ent unrest and the low price of cotton
grows out of this unrest. Capital is
shrinking, it prefers to lock itself. in
unless the sun shines and the wind
blows fair toward big profits.
So I think this is one year that other
things as we'll as cotton will pay the
farmer we'll and 1 hope the farming
class will take counsel with their COM
nonsense and not go in debt except In
so far as their business demands.
\ Nothing will go further toward a regu-
fation of prices and good paying ones
at that than commOnsense.

CLEANLINESS FIRST ESSENTIAL
TO PURE MILK

Every mixer should be required to
wash his hands before milking, and he
should wash the udder Of the COW. There
is no expense to that, but it makes a
lot of difference in the milk, Many dali
rymen are losing money because the
windows in their barns are so small the
COWS have not the physical vigor to
give good milk.
Poor facilities for cleaning the barns
are responsible for increasing milk bac-
terra. Your milk should get to the city
with less than 5000 bacteria to the cubic
centimeter. In New York the bacterial
score of every dairyman is kept and a
bonus is given daily to the man whose
milk has the lowest number.-Dr. w. A.
Evans, Chicago.
