eral days ago. Practically all cotton men agree with these sentiments, and it does seem common sense advice.
 More cotton has been sold at this period than at similar time in the past twenty years. Farmers are rush ing it in to get the high prices, but why sell if by holding it will go much higher?
 Of course, the planter must sell his first picking to pay his debts, and the merchant must sell that portion turn ed over to him on account, to pass the legal tender on to his creditors. But in the course of human events all re- ceive in full their claims, and there is still cotton left.
 The annual consumption of cotton grown Tn the South is now in the neighborhood of 14,500,000 bales. The estimates on the 1916 crop is be- tween 11,0O0,O00 and 12,000,OOO bales. and each government report shows this to be going down There is no surplus left from last year, so with the supply less than the demand, it looks like a safe propositlon to hold and ride on to prosperity with the crest of the wave.
 Hold cotton as soon as you have your debts paid.

BOOST YOUR COUNTY FAIR.

Most every county, in these en- frightened days has It's county fair. They are more and more an exposi- ton, and display of the products of farm and orchard. They bring the farmers together, they see what the man at the other end of the county has grown, and they go back home to do likewise. It encourages thrift, prompts improvements in farming methods, and above all things, it en- genders a desire to build up the live stock of the community.

GOOD COOKING IN CANADA.

THE epicurean visitor TO Canada
In search OF n fresh thrill will
do well to look a bit into Cana
dian cookery lore for tho French did
not come from France for naught. and
while they have necessarily had to
adapt their cookery TO the climate
and In the cold winters live upon very
substantial things. with plenty OF fats
TO ward or the chill. there are some
delights In cuisine Canadienne worth
looking for.
There is, for instance, the most de-
hghtful morsel one can find in a
weeks journey, that aristocrat OF Cana
dian dishes. perdrix au chou. or par
fridge with cabbage. The plump par
tridges. fattcned with hazel nuts and
all sorts OF good things. are Juicy,
white Of breast and gamy OF flavor,
but delicious in themselves. And when
stewed In a casserole by n black eyed
French Canadian girl who puts in all
sorts Of spices and seasonings, several
slices OF salt pork and plenty OF crisp
white cabbage-well. there are those
who say there Is nothing better in all
the world than perdrix au chou--cer-
tainly nothing better in Canada.
Then sucre a la creme. which is
sold In most Canadian shops. is a deli
cious confection made from pure,
thick sweet cream and maple sugar
cooked together until 1t is creamy and
taken from the fire Just in the nick Of
time to harden sufficiently that II may
be cut in squares and wrapped in
waxed paper. There Is n flavor to the
maple sugar OF Canada. whose emblem
Is the Maple Lear and whose ma
t!onal song In THE Maple Leaf For

maple sugar in the world.
