The office-holdng machine Is pow

LONG STAPLE COTTON ON
FARM NEAR COLUMBIA

Two varieties are grown on the
keenan, farm, the Columbia" and the
keenan,"
An agricultural expert from India
visited the cotton belt Of the South
in 1911 and in a 16-page report makes
notes and comments on the Southern
fields. A part OF the report covers a
visit to the keenan, farm. 1t says:
Columbia was next visited. This
is the capital Of South Carolina. Mr..
Lawton, in charge of cotton investi-
CATION of the United States agricul-
tural department, was here met. The
farm OF Mr.. keenan, was inspected.
Here cotton selection has been carried
on. for 10 years. Seed from selected
plants has been sown in separate rows
and a plant Is again selected from
a row and the seed sown in a sep
arate row and so on year By year.
The object of the selection was to pro-
duce a long staple large branched and
well boiled cotton plant. His two va
~rieties, columbia and Keenan,"
look excellent material and are all
bought up at a high price and dis
tributed in suitable localities by the

A direct application Of this rule

points are worth noting. Whether

the everyday farmer can easily, by
discarding shallow-breasted, narrow,
sh%ort-backed, sloping or fiat tailed,
and dull heavy headed fowls, get rid
of the star boarders" and build up
the egg record.
While doing this it is not necessary
to ignore the finer points that tell in
the showroom, but mark this, the
day is close at hand when the poultry
fanciers will be compelled to make

PROPER SHAPE FOR LAYING HEN.
Progressive Farmer:

Progressive Farmer:
The hen is a machine, so to speak,
and there arestwo products to which
it is adapted, eggs and meat. The first
is Of prime Importance, since the egg
must be produced before the product,
meat can evolve from it. The farmer
is interested in the hen, therefore, as
a business proposition and II OF the
first questions to decide is, which hen
lays the most eggS-how many does
she lay?
Naturally, on the average farm, it
is not always easy to have and TO
watch the trapnest, altho If practi-
cally done the system would rapidly
eliminate the boarder and prove the
paying hen.
The next method at command OF
the farmer is-shape. | won't use
conformation, for it does not tell the
story right. What is the proper
shape for a heavy laying hen. Some
writer's say "a long BODY some say
"a wedge-shape, deepest behind;
some want a long, some a short neck;
and other fanciful ideas obtain as to
which is the best shape.
Now, as | said, the hen is a machine
and must be supplied with motive
power as we'll as with raw materials,
both of which, in the hens case, are
nearly the Saline. The hen must be

If the body of a hen is thoroughly
studied, it will be found that the
frame (Which decides the shape)
must provide ample space for, first,
the crop and gizzard-and then for
the ovaries. the egg machine. Now
ample room for the alimentary or

cotton has been grown ON the farm

The first crop was planted under
the direction OF DR.. H. ]. Weber,

has been sent to Washington to meet
the requests for long staple growers.

THREE HUNDRED BUSHELS OF
ONIONS on AN ACRE.
Southern Ruraust.

Southern Ruralist.
Mr.. P. Bronston, Of Marietta, Ca,
was in our office on August Goth, and
brought with him q splendid sample
OF the Yellow Danvers onion. 1t was
fully four inches in diameter and
globular in shape. The round shape
and firm texture Of the yellow make
it an excellent keeper, and he has lost
very few from rotting.
We were, indeed, interested when
Mr.. Bronston told us that he had sold
over 800 bushels Of dry onions this
year, which he grew from sets planted
last March, and we wanted to know
how he did it. 1t seems that he plant
ed two and a quarter acres altogeth-
er, fertilizing them heavily in the drill
with commercial fertilizer a~nalyzing
8 per cent. phosphoric acid, Z per cent.
nitrogen and 6 per cent. potash. He
also t~op-dressed with nitrate OF soda.
His main crop al planted in rows
80 inches apart with the sets six
inches apart in the row. The ferti-
lizer was applied in the drill at the
rate of 1000 pounds per acre., we'll
stirred into the soil and bedded on as
for cotton. The bed was then opened
with small scooter and the sets placed
by hand.
Now, you are wondering how this
figures out 800 bushels per acre? Well.
it was this way: He made rs bushels
on one-fourth of an acre of his best
land, and you see this is the same
as 300 bushels per acre This partic-
ular quarter Of an acre he fortified
very heavily and worked up INTO beds
three feet wide with a path or walk
way between. Then he put out his
sets in rows II inches apart, running
across these beds with the sets six
inches apart. He had 10 work this
patch with a hoe entirely, and he says
it was certainly a job. He, therefore,
recommends that the rows be wide
enough apart to work with a horse
and cultivator or scrape, wen though
the yield is not quite so large. The
majority Of his onions have been
grown from sets, although he has
raised some excellent Prize-Taker
onions from seed.

EDUCATION NOTES.

Better decoration OF schoolrooms is
Il Of the aims of an association for
national culture recently formed in
Italy.
In European countries children at
tending private schools or beino edu-
Gated at home are obliged to pass a
state examination Identical with that
prescribed for children in the public
schools at the end OF the course.
Nearly o%ne-fourth Of the boys and
girls who enter the American public
schools reach the high school. This,
too, when the work of the high school
Of today is almost as advanced as
that Of the college of a few years ago.
Holland, like most European
tries, insists upon religious training
in the public schools, but her system
is described as "omnidenominational."
Definite religious instruction is CIV
en-, but the children are not allowed
to be separated according to Comics
sions." S%ectarian schools exist, but
they are essentially private institu-
tons and make no claim or the state
for support.
The international exchange Of chill
dren for short periods between France
and neighboring countries steadily in
creases. During the current year there
were 1874 such exchanges be-
tween France and England, and 4 be-
tween France and Spain. The total
number Of children represented by the
exchanges was 554, Of whom 430 were
boys and 124 girls. BY this system
the children Of one country are placed
in families OF the other for the pur-
pose of acquiring practical use of the
foreign language. The exchange is
carefully supervised and a strict re-
port kept for each case.

Egyptian Control Of Cotton Selling.

Alexandra Cor. Of THE Near East"
On the initiative of Lord Kitchener,
the Egyptian government has decided
on the establishment of marke:.s in
the Provinces, OF which the fellah
may sell his cotton. The official prices
OF cotton will be posted daily in thes .
markets, and the weighing of the Get.
ton will be controlled by the State.
This Is an excellent measure, md The
fellah will escape fraud by the public
weighers, who formerly were often
.accomplices Of the smaller cotton
merchants. 1t remains to be seen
whether the fellah will know how to
profit by the facilities and guarantees
afforded by the "%hallakas," or wheth-
