COTTON BELT CROP ROTATION

(by Z. n Alfred, Division OF Exten.
sion, University OF Tennessee.)
In most parts of the cotton belt the
practice Of growing cotton almost con.
tinuously is changing. This system
failed to keep up the fertility and the
humus supply of the soil, and also
failed 20 provide stock food.
The following is an especially good
rotation for the cotton belt:
First year-Cotton.
Second year-Corn, with coWpeas be
tween the rows.
Third year-Winter oats, followed
by cowpeas.
With this rotation the same family
can farm practically three times as
large an area as when nothing but cot
ton is grown. All the cotton that can
be picked can be raised, and by prop
erly organizing the work, the other
crops can be raised besides. This re
Quires that two and thrae-horse team,

MOST POPULAR BREED
Size Is Qualify That Recon-
mends the Light Brahma.
Has No Superior Where Large and
Slow Maturing Fowls Are De-
sired-Barred Where Egg Pro-
duction Is Chief Item.
(By PROF. II L. KEMPSTER, Missouri
College of Agriculture

tBy PROF. III L. KEMPSTER. Missouri
College of Agriculture.)
The Light Brahma is the oldest and
perhaps the b~est-known and most Bop
ular OF the feather-legged chickens.
Size is the quality that recommends
the Light Brahma. Where large and
slowly maturing fowls are desired, the
Light Brahma has no superior, but the
slowness of maturity is very objection
able in the pullets, which, together
with the fact that they are not very
heavy layers when matured, practi-
cally bars this breed where egg pro-
duction is the chief item.
There is no other breed of fowls that
has the stately appearance possessed
by the Brahma. These fowls are close
feathered like the Langshans, but are
larger and not so long-legged. They
are not as heavily feathered as the
Cochins. They are very graceful in
appearance and carry themselves i'm a
stately manner. The back ca both
male and female is very long and
broad. There should be a slight rise
of the back with a broad sweep at the
base of the tail. The birds should be
erect and well placed on their legs.
Abundant toe feathers is also a very
desirable feature.
Taking the American Standard of
Perfection as a guide, the following
are the special qualifications and dis
qualifications of the Light Brahma
fowls, when being judged according
to the Standard of Perfection.
Special qualifications are: Cocks
over three pounds, cockerels over two
and a half pounds, hens and pullets
over two pounds less than standard
weight. Vulture hooks also disqualify.

WHITEWASH THAT WILL LAST
Formula for Making Covering Used
by Government on Lighthouses
Maintained Along Coast.

To make the whitewash which has
been used for more than ten years in
the White House at Washington and
IN the lighthouses maintained by the
government along the coasts, take a
half bushel of unslaked lime and Stake
it with boiling water. Cover during
the process TO keep in the steam.
Strain the liquid through q fine sieve
or strainer and add to it n peck Of
salt, which previously has been dis
solved in warm water; 3 pounds of
ground rice boiled to a thin paste and
stirred in while hot; II pound Span
ish whiting; and 1 pound of glue pre-
viously dissolved by soaking in water
and then hanging over hot water. This
is best accomplished by putting in a
small pail and hanging in . larger one
filled with water. Add 5 gallons of hot
water to the mixture, stir well, and lec
stand q few days covered. Ii should
be applied hot, for which purpose 1t
can be kept in a portable furnace.

INSIST ON FREQUENT CHANGE
Writer Asserts Women Are to Blame
for the Variations Of Styles
in Clothes.

Women want something new TO wear
every few months. The absoluteI
truth of this statement is what puts
the world of women against reformers.
1t is easy to read and write reams Of
theories as to why women should not
indulge In the caprice of new
clothes and, with delightful Ingenious
ness, these dress reformers put the
blame on the style-makers and shops,
ignoring the fundamental truth that
the blame should be placed on the
women.
Those who are sincere and those
who are insincere but want to be
heard crying aloud in the market
places, do not go far enough into the
clothes question when pleading for
dress reform.
What normal woman would want to
be robbed of her privilege of seeing
new clothes and buying them when
ever 1t is possible? What healthy
minded woman would want to go
through life wearing the same gown,
cut on the same lines and preserved,
or copied, from season to season?
Mary Garden, the opera singer, an
swered this whole question once In an
interview on the deck of a steamer,
when she was sailing for Paris. 1t
was ut the height of the great hubbub
concerning the question of American
clothes only.
The reporter called up from the
gangplank. 'When, In your opinion,
will American women wear American
clothes only and show their patriot
ismf'
"When they're dead" She called out
over the rail. "They can't protest
against an American shroud.'-Ex-

the fly and the flea were up for con-

of the hy-all except Robbie May, who
for some time had been staring mood
