WINNING OUT ON :
CONDITIONS OF
COTTON MARKET
Department Of Agriculture Recommends to
Farmers Four Measures that Might be
Adopted by All Farmers in Remedyinc
Present Conditions.

Washington. ID. G.. Dee. Pour meas
ures are being recommended by the United
States department of agriculture To the
farmers of the South in order to remedy
the conditions created by the collapse Of
the cotton market. These are:
THE reduction Of expenses by the
production of more grain and forage for
the live stock.
1.-The substitution Of other money
crops for part Of the cotton acreage.
3-The raising of more live stock.
1.-The addition of humus 10 the soil in
order To make fertilizer less expensive.
The first thing 10 be done. Sny the gov
eminent specialists, j. to plant winter
crops To be used partly for winter and
spring grazing, partly for spring hay and
grain, partly for cover crops 10 be- turned
back into the soil for fertilizing purposes.
These crops should include oats for grain.
and oats, barley, or rye for hay. and any
one Of these for winter and spring graz
Ing or for humus value. Although October
and November are the best months for
planting these crops in the cotton country.
the time may be extended into the winter.
The winter crops should he followed by
summer legumcs such n cowpcas. soy
beans, etc. Fall and winter vegetables
should be- planted for home use and for the
market.
Hogs are recommended a. the best form
of live stock TO grow. Immediate steps
should be taken TO increase the profits
'rom hogs and hog products ~ The plant
ing of crops for winter and spring graz
ing, to be followed by summer and fall
crops for the sam purpose. Grower are
also warned To take rigid precautions
against hog cholera. If strict quarantine
measures are adopted and If the animals,
when threatened. are inoculatcd with anti
hog cholera serum. growers should suffer
very little loss from this source.
Cotton farmers in Texas and Oklahoma
have many crops with which they can re-
place a part of their cotton. Among these
may he mentioned corn. kaffir, milo. alfal-
ia. sorghum. mlllct. wheat. OATS. cowpea~.
rape, and Bermuda and Sudan gra~s. Corn.
however. should be planted only ON the
best lands Of the central and southern part
of tins area. Elsewhere il should be- re-
placed by kaffir. milo on f%ctcrita.. On many
cotton farms wheat will prove profitable
NJ grown IN rotation with other crops.
Oats. alfalfa, and practically all of the
other crops already mentioned ~rc adapted
very generally 10 the cotton belt.
Texas and Oklahoma farmers, however.
will probably find the most profitable use
they can make of these crop, j. Ia turn
them INTO pork. The initial investment re-
quircd Tor hog raising T. smaller than that
demanded Tor most other forms of stock
raising and there l. also lcs, need for skill
and experience.

GREAT WAR CHIEF STARVING
Dire Straits Of Matabele Warrior In
England Through Inability to
Work.

Lo~ndon.--Loben Lobengula, eldest
son OF Lobengula, the famous Mata,
belle warrior, is living in dire straits
of poverty in Phillips street, Whitlane,
Stafford. He is afflicted with consump
ton and is no longer able to work,
and his wife and children exist on
charity.
At the end of the last Matabele war
In 1896, the tribe was scattered, and
Lobengula came over to England with
a Savage South Africa show. For
three years he toared this country,
and then got an engagement in a Man.
chester pantomime. In 1881 he mar.
ried an Irish woman, and in the fol.
lowing yea he went to work In a pit
at Pendleton. Since he settled at
Stafford he has lived the life Of q col.
Her. He was quick to pick up work
in the mine, and became proficient in
his Job.
The Rev. 8. d. Bees, vicar OF the
parish in which Lobengula lives, says
the circumstances In which the son OF
the African chief had been reduced
suggested a very lamentable disregard
Of English tradition of generosity to
vanQuished adversaries.

Japanese Female co..ume,.

A Japanese woman Of fashion is by
no means a drain on her husbands
finances. The cost OF her wearing an.
parel is very small indeed when com.
pared to her sister Of the Occident.
She wears 1880 worth Of clothing un.
der her kimono, the latter costing
about $25. The obi costs another 325.
Numerous tying paraphernalia sum up
to S17.25, and g set Of footwear
amounts to about 80. Combs and hair.
pins, ornamented with gems, cost
$246; a shawl, $3.50; a diamond neck
clasp, $3.50; a total of a little more
than 5000 for a season. This is a very
modest outlay when compared to the
enormous cost Of apparel for the wo-
man of fashion In New York or

here opened, the carbon duplicate
schedule removed and the plates
again counted and checked as they
are cast into the furnace.
From the time the plates are TAX
en from the vault Of the custodian
until the last one is thrown into the
fire .they are under the watchful
eyes Of the committee who sees
that none goes astray, for if one
or two of these plates should fall
into illegitimate hands and later
be put to improper use it would
probably considerable en-
barassment to the government.
In order to ascertain whether
the destr Actipn has been complete,
the committee must wait until all
the melted steel is drawn from the
furnace and the cupola opened and
cooled. The melted steel is pour
ed into molds covering a great var
iety of castings that eventually

have in his pockets at the time a
note of some denomination printed
from a steel money plate that has
developed by a series of evolutions
into a part of the very gun he is
adjusting to wreak destruction up
on any object in the path of the fly
ing projectile.

POSTCARD SENT W WEEDS
Highly Decorated Remembrance 10
Inscribed With Advice
From Sender.

Denver.-A wooden postcard nearly
two feet long and more than half \
foot wide and highly decorated nth
instructions to newly married couples
was handed to 3. G. Bennett. clerk at
the Kaiserhon hotel. by the. letter car-
rier when making his usual mail de-
livery.
It was addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy D. Lee Of Pueblo. who we're here
on their honeymoon. The couple had
departed, however, before the card ar
rived. Clerk Bennett tried to put 1t in
the mail box and 1t wouldn't 60. Then
he hung it up over his desk. That
caused 30 many people to make use
less remarks that he showed 1t under
the counter.
Then some one told him he was In
t~erferins with the United States malls,
so he took 1t out again and handed 1t
to the telephone operator, who wrote
another address on 1t and forwarded
1t after the happy couple.
One motto said: May all the
troubles be little ones" Another said:
BE good to n another" Another
card asked the clerk, in the event he
could not deliver the postcard, to re-
turn to the couple addressed at Rose
lawn cemetery, Pueblo, Colo, as that
would undoubtedly be their stopping
place In the end.
The card had t%hirty-four stamps on
1t and numerous pictures Of hearts,
cupids and other designs which con-
veyed the impression that the parties
addressed were in a blissful state of
mind.
