Comment of Uncle Josh Certainly No Tribute to Charms of Attendants

The conversation in club the other afternon turned to the unso- phisticated, when Senator Claude Kitchin of North Carolina recalled happy little incident about Uncle Josh.
 Uncle Josh, who lived far back in the crimson clover zone, happened into the big city one day and found himself standing before a woman's exchange. That was a new one on Josh, and for long while he stood there and thoughtfully pondered. Fin ally he entered the building.
 T s'pose, ma am" said he address ing one of the attendants, that this is the woman's exchange?"
 Yes, this is the woman's s exchange" replied the attendant What can we do for you?"
 '1 s'pose," continued Josh, glancing alternately at the two or three women in the office, that you are the only women folks here?"
 There are no others" was the won- dering response of the attendant.
 "Um," thougLtfully observed Josh, starting toward the door, then I guess I'll jes keep Hammer. ."-Phila- delphia Telegraph.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR COTTON
For First Time in History Southern Bankers Have Financial Ability
 to Market Crop Gradually.

The earnest determination of the bankers of the South in their confer ence at Galveston to cooperate with the farmers in order that cotton may be sold for reasonable price is high. ly encouraging. Conditions are ripe for successful cooperation. There is abundant foundation for the faith of John T. Scott of Houston that cotton will sell for 10 cents for it is true, as Mr Joseph Hirsch. president of the Texas Bankers association. said:
 For the first time in the history of the South, the southern bankers have the financial ability to market grad. ually this crop It would appear all most as if the federal reserve act had been drafted for the benefit of the southern producers
 Money for financing the crop is abundant The warehouse capacity of Texas. Nathan Adams gives assur- anee will have been increased by 500000 bales in time for this years crop.
 Two things only are necessary. First, that farmers shall use the ware house facilities. and this they seem inclined to do. Second. that bankers shall get the money to farmers abun- dantly and at reasonable rates. This the bankers who assembled at Gal weston pledge themselves to effect. and the Evening Journal feels confi- dent they will do it.-Dallas Evening Journal

ACCUSTOM COLT TO HALTER
Younester Should Be Taught to Be Led Before He Is Weaned-Noth-
 ing Gained in Hurryine.

Some colts understand quickly. oth CTS are slower. Some are naturally quieter and easier to handle than oth CTS From the beginning. however. the colt should be accustomed to the touch of the hand and the feel of a halter headstall Before the colt is weaned he should know all about being led around, and as soon as this part of his education has been completed he should be taught the use of the bit A common jointed bit is best: scissor bits and other rigging of the same sort should not be used Use an ordinary bridle without binders and as soon as you have taught the colt the feel of the bit and made him bridlewise he can be driven about the lot and a lit. tie later on given his first road les. son alongside some serious minded old horse
 Ther is no sense in being in a hurry at any period in breaking the colt. You cant use him at any work so why hasten his education at the chance of spelling him2 Give him time.

Unused land is a liability.


 Forget the faults of other people.
 Every big job seems at first impos- sible.
 Pick cotton quickly and sell it slowly.
 Farm tests are worth more than all the theories.
 No man nor no business can build securely in hurry.
 We're too apt to think our neighbor has the best neighbor.
 A friend is a man you can call a liar and get away with it.
 The best way to ascend steadily in the world is to keep on the level.
 It takes but few minutes to make bad impression and years to out live it.
 Men often swear to keep from cry ing, and women often cry to keep from swearing.
 Encourage the boy if he is interest ed in good corn. He can pick the seed for next year.
 One may love the friend whose faults he points out, but there are sev- eral more effective ways to prove it Success lies in thinking individu. ally and acting collectively" This ap- plies to farmers and merchants as . whole.
 Dabbling in stocks and leaving the farm to run itself is not good way to do business. It is the surest way to trouble and loss.
 The farmer must view the profes- sion of agriculture as one of vast eco homie value. Ii is the profession upon which all others depend
 Learn by the experience of others: take some good farm papers and do not expect to get first-class papers for nothing; it costs money to employ ex- pert writers

COTTON AS A PEACE FACTOR
Any Nation Running Out of Staple Is Just About at End of String in
 Matter of Warfare,

How much of a factor the efforts of the allies to keep cotton away from Germany may prove to be in the promotion of peace depends upon two things; viz. the magnitude of the cotton stock now held in Germany and the extent to which further sup plies may be prevented says Pitts. burgh Dispatch What the exact sit. uation is in Germany in this respect only Germany knows, and she is say. ing nothing
 Guncotton is so essential now in the manufacture of ammunition that 1t is difficult te realize that it's de. yelopment to successful use by Schon. bein, a Swiss chemist, only dates back to lS45. The first step in the inven. tion had been taken by Pelouze in lS3S. but fl was Schonbein who estab. lshed it's utility He treated cotton wool with mixture of nitric and sul- phurie acids. and then washed with water and dried it. making practically little change in its appearance. To make guncetton disintegrate suddenly II has to be detonated. It will not ex plode from mere ignition by fire. but simply burns with a rapid flare.
 Any nation that runs out of gun. cotton, with no more in sight. is just about at the end of its string in the matter of warfare. So protracted warfare by any nation of Europe de- bends on the cotton supply of the rest of the world.

ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF WATER
Cattle Should Not Be Compelled to Wade Through Mud for Drink
 Have Regular Feeding Hours.

Cattle that must go long distances for water or are made to wade through mud to get it will not get enough and will not do we'll It pays to have the water easy to reach and in abundance.
 Regular hours of feeding without changes in the feed are of the utmost importance.
 Put about one ounce of salt in the feed for every 1000 pounds weighi once a day for several days and then place ordinary salt where the animals can eat as much or as little as they want and when they want it. Do not give them all the salt they want un less they have first had about an ounce per l.000 pounds weight once day for several days.
 Too many cattle in small lot, or cattle of different sizes and kinds tend to lessen the gains and the profits.
 If the manure is well saved it will constitute a good profit and it is there fore. one of the most important items in determining the profits from feed. ing beef cattle.

KEEP COTTONSEED AT HOME
Exportation of Meal and Cake Is Ag- ricultural Crime-Not Enough
 Produced for Domestic Use.

One of the many agricultural crimes of America. it is well stated, is the exportation of cottonseed meal and cake. It would be wise law. if it were constitutional, which should pro hibit all exportation of these prod ucts. There Is not enough for home consumption in spite of the enormous cotton crop of the South. says Balti. more American. In fact, there could not be surplus as long as there re- mains a single wornout acre in the United States. Yet we continue to sell a large portion every year of our very birthright. Denmark, for in stance, has largely built up her won. derful dairy industry through the pur. chase of large share of the 200 O00. GOO pounds of eottonseed meal and cake which the United States annually exports At current prices the seed alone from an acre of cotton is worth as much as all the corn that could be produced upon that acre Every ounce of cottonseed grown in America should be fed on American farms and its enormous fertilizing strength thus returned to the soil. Cottonseed meal contains over 40 per cent of protein. or meat and muscle-forming material. while cornmeal contains about 9 per cent and oats or wheat iess than 12 per cent. Cottonseed meal contains about per cent of nitrogen and as fertilizer is worth about $32 a ton. However. it should not be applied as fertilizer: 1t should be fed to stock on the farm. and if the resulting ma
 nure is properly handled the great bulk of this s32 will be found in the manure. Poor food makes poor ma. nure and rich food rich mannre
