Womon's Stocking Unsafe
Place to Keep Her Money
Warns Maj. Syluester

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9.-Despii.s
the fact that women's stockings have
long been considered the safest place
for them to carry their money while
rushing the bargain counters, Mai.
Richard Sylvester, superintendent OF
police, is of different opinion.
Stockings are no place for money, =
he says. at is too easy for the cash
to wear hole in the stocking. There
have been any number of women who
put their money in their stockings for
safekeeping and have then lost it the
first time they went out shopping.
The safest place for a woman to
carry her money is in a good purse,
and then let her be sure that she
keeps her hand on the purse and does
not lay it down on the counter in =

other hand, it is so springy that the i'm

such as tomatoes.
When watering the bed, put on
enough to thoroughly moisten the soil,
but not to saturate it and thus de-
stroy the strength of manure. The
bed need not be watered every day.
but only when the soil has dried out.
Water the bed in time for the foliage
to dry off before night. Damp foliage
at night favors disease.
The air should be changed every
day, even on coldest days there should
be at least a slight opening, taking
care always to make the opening away
from the wind, so that cold air will
not be forced in.
AS time for planting in the field
draws near, the plants must be har-
dened off, and on warm nights the
cover may be left off and if days are
favorable the same can be done two
or three weeks before planting.
1t is always better to transplant
twice. The first time about two inch
es apart when true leaves begin to
form and about four inches apart the
second time when they can be put in
flats" that is, large fiat boxes, in
which they can be carried to the field
and planted with the soil of the flat"
still around them.
Prune Scuppernongs Before Christmas
Scuppernongs should be pruned be-
fore Christmas. Grapes should be
pruned before Christmas, but they
may be pruned after.

HOW FARMER GAN GET GREATEST
RETURNS FROM COTTON SEED


In the handling and management of
cotton seed the farmer should natural
ly be actuated only by selfish motives.
In other words, he should utilize them
so as to secure for himself the largest
possible return in financial way. 1t
has been shown that ton of average
meal, say containing 6.1S per cent. of
nitrogen, is more effective for fertil-
izing value it contains in the form
of yard manure
BY feeding the meal, he can in
crease the number of live stock kept
on his farm and thus add to his sup
ply of yard manure When doing this
he is increasing the vegetable content
Of his soil, an essential and all-im-
portant matter Finally, he is adding
part of the fertilizer to his soil in

WH|sKEY So SCARCE

Atlanta, Dec. 9.-Whiskey has be-

mentation, but prevents the plant
food from all becoming available at
once, thus affording the crop time to
take it up and utilize it as it grows.
There is often an undue amount OF
suspicion in the minds of many per.
sons with reference to a discussion of
a subject of this nature. Sometimes
the farmer thinks that he is not get
ting fair return for his seed, and
that by keeping them at home he can
utilize them to better advantage. All
the investigations of capable and inde-
pendent scientific men, however, are
opposed to this idea.
Unless the farmer is called on to
sell his seed at a price clearly below
their market value for manufacturing
purposes, it is to his interest in SO
cases out of 100 to do so.
