ideal WEATHER IS
BENEFICIAL TO
COTTON
CROP HAS GREATLY ADVANCED
DURING PAST FEW DAYS.
ESTIMATES OF YIELD.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 5.-IdeaI
weather for the cotton crop has pre-
vailed throughout the state during the
past week. The temperature has
varied from 80 to 81 degrees, no rain
fall has been reported and even local
showers have been few and far be-
tween.
Close observers of crop conditions
declare that conditions have been
more nearly ideal for the rapid ma
turity of the staple than for many
years. What the crop needs, above
all things, to lessen the ravages of the
boil weevil at this critical period is
plenty of hot sunshine, and that has
been furnished in abundance.
First bales have been reported from
every market center of Importance in
the state, and in the southern counties
picking has become general during
the past few days.
A general overhauling of cotton
gins is in progress, and practically all
OF these plants are in readiness for
the seasons run. The congresses,
however, will not be in readiness for
operation before the goth of Septem-
Der.
Very few new cotton gins have been
built in the state during the past few
months, it being figured that present
facilities in a majority of the counties
are ample for the handling of the
crop.
The lowest estimate now being
made of Mississippis prospective yield
is 1,250,000 bales, while some estl-
mates place the probable crop at t.
100000 bales. Of course, estimates at
this period are +he variest guess work,
as much will depend on the date of
the first killing frost, owing to the
general lateness of the crop. How
ever, it is conceded on all sides that
Mississippi's outlook is far better than
the farmers had reason to nope for
three months ago.

LOW VOICE A GREAT CHARM.

A sweet voice is one of the chief
charms of an attractive woman.
Therefore be careful of the gift that
nature has given and, if possible,
improve it, Even course, shrill and
harsh voices may be softened by care
and study. And surely it is worth
the trouble. A woman with a pea
cock voice can never charm.
Speak always in a low tone, but
distinctively. Loud talking denotes
i'll breeding, and sometimes shows a
domineering spirit. To keep the
voice at proper tone never call from
one end Of the room to the other,
nor from up stairs down, nor from
any distance that necessitates bel
lowing. Such practices only rounghen
the voice and in time ruin it.
There are persons who when spok-
en- to do not at once respond, either
from indifference or abstraction. The
person who speaks Is then obliged to
raise the voice, and thus the habit of
loud speaking is often formed.
This is a condition likely to arise
in families where by little politeness
is observed. 1t seems strange that
people who love each other often fail
in the most ordinary civilized con
sideration.
To really care for the voice one
should never cry out either in pain
or in anger. Such efforts forever
destroy the harmonious workings of
the vocal cords. Children should be
restrained from wild shrieks when at
play.
Should young child show signs
of speaking in a hoarse or disagree
able tone, it should at once be taken
to a physician, for perhaps it is not
the fault of the baby. 1t may be
physical defect which skill may over
come.-Phliadelph Ledger.

A horse should be watered before

John Splan. the great trainer,
writes:
AS to water, think that a horse
should have all that he wants at all
times. A man says: Why; will you
give your horse water before a race?
Yes, before the race, in the race, and
after the race, and any other time
that he wants to drink. When l say
give your horse all the water he wants
before the race, | do not mean that
you shall tie him in a warm stall
where he cannot get a drink for five
or six hours on hot day, and then
take him to the pump and give him all
that he wants. What I mean Is to
give him wa + often and, in that way.
he Will only take a small quantity at

After long. continuous exertion the
system Is greatly depleted of fluid.
Nature calls for it's replacement, and
this Is the cause of a thirst which
is so intense that, If the animal is not
restrained at this time, he may drink
much more than he needs.

and encouragement in his old age
because of a family driven into all
other lines of work, the home acres
being left for hired hands to cultivate
when old age has lain its whitening
hand On the farmer. On the other
hand, if he will but call attention
daily to the silver lining that edges
every cloud of hard work and bad
season; and by thorough and honest
care, strive to make the clouds small
er and give to the silver lining great
err scope and more brilliancy, his
children will see and understand
that in farming-as in every other
business-the good exceeds the bad
in volume; the controlling factor in
any case being the quality of the
business man rather than the kind
of business.
Bringing the principle even closer
to the everyday work on the farm
the farmer by precept and example
will make his life speak eloquently
of the nobility of even hardwork
made effective because of it's being
brain-directed, his sons and daugh-
tiers will, in nearly every case, think
highly of his Judgment and he will,
by sowing seeds of industry, reap
harvest of the same crop through
his children.
The same principle may be applied
to the actual seeding of the crops on
the farm; for here as in other lines
the farmer reaps what he sows. If
for years he has-by the use of mat
took, the moving machine and harrow
in season-kept his acres cleared OF
all foreign growths, allowing no nox-
tous weeds to produce seed; then by
the sowing of fine and healthy seeds,
he may expect to reap a harvest of
clean crops. His wheat or oats will
not in these cases turn to cheat"
or smut or his good live stock de-
generate into scrubs.
God is not Knocked. Whatsoever
a man soweth that shall he also
reap" and that too, whether the
sowing has been done through care

through willful disregard of these
laws.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1912-09-05

The custom, almost universally fol-
lowed, of giving the morning meal be-
fore water, is not very Objectionable,
either theoretically or practically. Al
this time there is no depletion OF fluid,
consequently the horse is not very
thirsty and does not drink rapidly or
excessively and apparently very little
evil results from this method. How.
ever, the writer much prefers that the
horse should have an opportunity to
drink what Is good for him before the
morning meal.
Personally, / much prefer keeping
horses, both summer and winter, In
an open shed, with large water tank
In the yard, to tying them by the
head in barn.
Not only in giving water to horses
must care be exercised but In every
other way.
Many a good driving horse has his
years Of usefulness cut short by being
left in the hands of some person who
does not know how to take care of a
horse or does not care what happens
to the horse that happens to come in.
to his hands.
One of the most common ways of
injuring a driving horse is by driving
him hard in cool weather, and when
the horse has been brought into
sweat, leaving him uncovered and ex.
posed to cold winds or to drafts in
a stable.
1t is seldom necessary to drive
horse so hard on a cool day that he
will be In a sweat. In warm weather
it is different, as the horse, then
sweats with little exertion.
When the horse has been driven I'm.
til he is covered with foam and sweat,
he should be taken into a stable, rub.
bed down with whisps of hay or piece
of rough cloth, and then blanketed.
The neglect of such precautions has
resulted in many a horse catching a
cold that has proved serious.
Driving is science itself, and there
are many mature people who have not
learned how to drive a horse. They
have no idea as to the amount Of work
he is able to perform without lessen.
ing his vitality.
1t must be remembered that horse
as well as a man, is limited as to what
he can do.
