MUST BE CAREFUL AT GIN.
Unless Precautions Are Taken Seed
Will he Badly Mixed.

Clemson College, Sent. 1S.-Un-
less he and the ginnei take precau-
tions, farmer is likely to get from
IA to 16 per cent of his neighbor's
seed at the gin when getting his seed
for planting. Actual Investigations
of the United States department of
agriculture have shown this. Any
one who is at all careful about breed
ing up his cotton knows how much
damage such a mixture Of seed can
only was there a large percentage of
seed from the variety ginned just
previously. but there were even some
seeds from the second bale preceding.
1t follows that a grower may readily
mix one or even two other varieties
with his special kind OF seed.
The department of agriculture re-
commends the following steps to be
taken at the gin to avoid this unde-
sirable mixing of seed.
The patron should accompany to
the gin the lot of seed cotton from
which he expects to save seed for
planting. and should help the ginner
to prevent mixing.
Flues. feeders and cleaners should
be cleaned as thoroughly as construc-
ton permits before the seed cotton
enters them.
The roll should be dropped from
the roll box and the box thoroughly
cleaned.
Prevent the seed OF the variety to
be ginned from falling into the con-
veyor. The conveyor cannot we'll be
cleaned satisfactorily and should not
be used when planting seed is to be
obtained. BY adjusting the apron OF
each gin. the seed can be made to fall
on the floor instead Of into the con-
veyor. From here it can be sacked
easily.
The floors about the gin should
be cleaned to the extent that no seeds
are left lying about to cause mixing.
Such precautions require time and
the ginner may raise objections to
such procedure, but it should be pos
sible TO meet such objections by extra
time. But the amount of money that
may have to be spent in this way is
negligible in view OF the favorable
effect such precautions will have on
the farmers crops in succeeding
years.

wIeHr BE "sporLEss TOWN.
Willemstad, Port Of Dutch Island q
Curacao, One Of the Worlds Most
Delightful spots.

Willemstad, the port OF the Dutch Is
land OF Curacao, is q quaint little
town, and with it's rows Of brightly
colored tiled houses Of Dutch construc-
tion reminds one very forcibly of the
pictures of "Spotless Town" The
Dutch government maintains a gar
rison of home troops there and the
island is under the management Of
. governor sent from Holland.
The natives speak hardly word Of
Dutch. but employ patois composed
of nearly all languages, with Spanish
predominating. This patois is called
'papiamento"
The harbor OF Willemstad is very
beautiful, with a depth of water suffi-
cient to accommodate the largest
ships. Steamers enter the harbor
through picturesque pontoon bridge
constructed by an American consul
who was stationed there for some
years.
The water in the harbor IS clear
bottle green color and the masts OF
vessel that was sunk at the dock
years ago can be plainly seen. A
quaint tramway line with almost toy
cars drawn by one mule serves as a
carrier for the population.
From Curacao the American steam
ers with transshipped cargoes run
across the very important town OF
Maracaibo, in the Gulf OF Maracaibo.

Foolish Worry

les pltiable to see how old some
folks become before they reach mid
die life. They undermine their own
lives by carrying burdens that never
materialize. They are always borrow
ing trouble and making themselves
needless worry. And the sad part OF
1t all is that mental trouble Is very
real. It's bigger burden than physi-
cal weights. II folks could only be
taught they would soon see that it's
not the real struggles that deepen
their wrinkles and unsteady their
steps. Worry is far more enervating
than physical strain, and the worst of
It is that moat things we worry about

Stone Interests Scientists.

A great deal OF interest has been
recently directed to samples OF itacol-
unite. n stone which is found In Bra
zil. When flexible, itacolumite is
cut into thin plates and, when ex-
amined with a microscope. it is found
TO be composed almost entirely OF
fine grains OF sand OF peculiar shape.
with indented edges. which interlock
like the fingers OF clasped hands. The
feYibility OF the material results from
this interlocking OF the grains Of sand,
OF which II Is chiefly composed. Al
though few persons know that stone
can be anything but hard, the flexible
stone is not SO much OF a curiosity as
II seems, for 1t Is found in North Caro-
lima, and there are specimens OF 1t in
the cases OF Philadelphia collection.
The sensation of handling a piece OF
stone which bends like a piece of
rubber Is a strange experience. II

SUCCESS THROUGH FAILURE
Once Miseaieulatlsns Should Ne So
Fissd In tho Mind That They VIII
Not Be Repeated.

Some people learn by observation,
eyes are open and their minds alert
to what goes on around them. They
see how other people do things and
the results they gain. When failure
comes they try to find out the cause
OF it, They examine success with care
to learn on what particular thing it
depended. They apply the principles
thus learned to their own business and
reap the benefit OF knowledge gained
There are others who never learn save
through their own experience Obser-
yation is a great aid, but experience
gives unforgettable lessons. Ones
own history should be the most in.
structive. Once having come to grief,
the reasons arc fixed in the mind.
Foolish indeed Is he who twice
stumbles over the same stone. Pope
says, Make each day the critic on the
past" It is by considering our fail.
ures that we know how to turn out
perfect work. 1t is by our mistakes
that we learn how wisely to adjust
ourselves to circumstances and people.
1t is by experiences that We gain con.
hdsnee to meet adversely with cour-
age. What has been done may be
again accomplished. II Is only the fool
who does not better his life by his
own experience. He is wise who learns
by observation what he should strive
for and what he should avoid.

The improvement in the schooIs of Ad-
