Advice to Farmers
BY G. c. Mingee, County Agent,
Tupelo, Miss.


The boil weevils are going to
make change in our present
system of farming so the sooner
we begin to make the change the
better it will be for the farmers.
A number of the farmers have,
can and will begin to grow beef
cattle, but there is class of
farmers who are not in a posi-
ton to raise beef cattle. They
have not the means to begin with
and if they had they would not
be In a position financially to
wait for we might say PAY
day" A number of the farmers
In this class can follow system
of farming that is remunerative,
and on account of being a paying
proposition it is coming to be a
popular system. This is dairy
farming. {
1t does not require much capt..
tai to start dairying. A farmer
can start with from four to ten
COWS and make dairying pay. If
a farmer is located on a cream
route he can send the milk from
two COWS to creamery. | know
farmers who are making five dol
lars and more per month per cow
above the feed bill. | am relia-
bly, informed that Mr.. E. O. Bry-
son of near Guntown is making
from $35. 90 to $40. 90 per month
from seven cows. One man can
handle fifteen to twenty cows ex-
cepting the milking. One man
should not have to milk more
than ten cows because if he did
the last ones would not be MIXED
as we'll as they should be.
Another attractive feature of
dairying is that "pay day" comes
twice each month. This will en-
able the farmer to make all his
purchases on cash basis, and as
the merchant will be reluctant in
giving credit next year to the
all cation farmer" a little cash
coming in each month will be no
mean commodity.
Feed has advanced in price but
so has butter fat. Butter fat is
now selling around thirty-fve
cents per pound at the Tupelo
Creamery. Such a price shows
a demand for butter. Will you
start your cows to work and let
them help you?

Fibre From Cotton Stalks

R. D. Gladney of Saltillo has
perfected a method of converting
the cotton stalk into fibre which
can be used for many practical
and useful purposes. Since the
European War, Mr.. Gladney has
been at work on experiments
with the cotton stalk with view
of discovering number of other
utilities to which the cotton
plant and its products can be
used. Each year some new pur.
pose is discovered and it now
seems that there is no limit to
which the cotton plant of our
fields may be converted.
The antibellum uses of the plant
were only that of cloth, ropes
and twine. The seed were con-
sidered of no value, and the laws
of the state prohibited the accu-
mutation of them around a farm
ers premises as a matter of pro-
lection of the health of the peo
pie. In the seventies. the eXper-
iment of extracting oil was begun
and found to be profitable. Oil
is Of high commercial value in
the manufacture of food COM
pounds, while the meal and hulls
are of the best value in feeding
cattle. The short lint which is
ginned from the seed after this
has once run thru the gin, is in
great demand by munition plants
for the purposes of manufactu-
ring destructive combustibles.
Mr.. Gladney has so far made
satisfactory experiments in his
plans and we predict that ulti-
mate success of converting the
dead stalk into commercial COM
modities will result. The fibre
from the stalk may be used for
many purposes and the cheap
ness Of it will make it applicable
to the commonplace demands of
the commercial world. Besides
this, in converting the stalk into
fibre, Mr.. Gladney discovered
that the stalk also contains an
essence which will dye cloth in
various colors. He had on di splay
at our Tri-County Fair collec-
tion of his products which con-
vinced all who saw them that his
efforts were being dir ected along
the most practical lines. The
colors were somber and varie-
gated. Mr.. Gladuey is now or
ganizlng a company for the
purpose of building a plant for
the conversion of the stalk into
marketable products and utili-
ties. He is asking for subscrip-
t )ns for the stock and will issue
the stock in small amount so that
there may be a general distribu-
ton Of it among the people
He feels that the people are in
terested in the success of his
project. He was in Tupelo Mon

darKey out. He jumped down on to
the sand-bank himself and dug small
trench to the water The river surged
through 1T gently. Gerry climbed out.
With each pulse of the come-and-go
a wave rushed. through the little
trench, widening it and occasionally
carrying away a block of the sand
bank into the hole. Gradually, then
in rapid progression, the barrier was
leveled. The hole filed with water
that rose till 1t began to trickle down
the long length of the ditch. They
followed the tiny stream. Soon 1t came
in rushing surges. Hours passed. Boni-
facio slept, but Gerry had forgotten
time. The ditch filed. The water
started to flow back into the river.
Along all its length the ditch held.
Gerry started opening the sluice
gates, the lowest first. The water CUR
gled out into the main trench and from
there was distributed. At first the
thirsty soil swallowed 1t greedily but
gradually the rills stretched farther
and farther down into the valley Un-
der the blazing sun they looked like
streams of molten silver and gold.
Margarita came running up to them
from the house. Gerry put his arm
around her and made her face the val
ley. Then he looked at the girl and
smiled. She smiled back at him but
trouble was still in her eyes.
Gerry left her to start on the work
of fitting the ponderous sluice-gate Of
hewn logs that he had prepared for
the mouth of the great ditch. 1t was a
triumph of ingenuity. He never could
have evolved it without the aid of
giant ironwood wormscrew taken from
the wreck of cotton press. The screw
was SO heavy that he and Bonifacio
could hardly carry 1t.
At the end of three days the great
gate was installed. He and Bonifacio
toiled like sailors at capstan. They
drove the heavy barrier down into the
sand with last turn of the screw and
shut out the river. Margarita came
and saw and was pleased.

Alan flushed angrily. He had no re-
tort for the old man. He sat sullenly
silent.
right" he said with a surprising touch
of choler. "Sulk. Every badly broken
colt sulks at the grip of the bit What
you need, young man, is touch Of
the whip and you're going to get it."
And then the old man revealed a
surprising knowledge of words that
could lash. At first Alan was indif-
ferent, then amazed, and finally recog-
nized himself beaten at his own game.
He came out of that interview thor
oughly chastened and with an alto
gether new respect for the old captain.
No one knew better than Alan that it
took special brand Of courage to
whip him with words but the captain
had not stopped to stun his own ears
with cotton wool before engaging the
enemy. He had risked all in one
liquid, stinging, overwhelming volley
and he had won.
The captains code was peculiar, to
say the least, and held the passionate
pilgrim in ample regard. but, as he
pointed out to Alan, it was code of
honor. 1t played game within rules.
He further remarked that the hawk
was a bird of evil repute but person
ally he preferred him to the eagle that
fouls its own nest. There were other
pregnant phrases that hung in Alan's
mind for some time and half awak-
ened him to a realization of where he
stood. Many man, propped up by
the sustaining atmosphere of a narrow
world, has passed merc3less judgment
on such sins as Alan's-metal, un-
proved, sitting in judgment over the
bar that twists in the flame. But the
captain was not one of the worlds
confident army of the untested. He
had roamed the high seas of pleasure
as well as the ocean wave. Alan would
have struck back at saint but he
took chastisement from the old sinner
with good grace.
Alan left the captain and presented
himself at the downtown Offices of j.
Y. Wayne & Co. They were expect
ing him and he was shown in to his
uncle Immediately, to the exaspera-
ton Of several pompous, waiting
clients. 1t was the first time that uncle
and nephew had been face to face
since their memorable interview at
Maple House.

lived hard and showed it, bat there
was no weakness in his age and he
met Alan without compromise. He
nodded toward Il chair but did not Of

was low and modulated to the tone Of

COST OF PURE BRED COWS

The idea is extant among some Of
the farmers that pure bred COWS cost so
much that the ordinary farmer cannot
afford to purchase them.
The fact is that pure bred cows and
heifers may be had in some parts If
the United States at what would be
thought here reasonable price for
really good cow.
One breeder in Missouri who has for
sale both pure bred and grade Jersey
cows furnishes the following figures:
+ "Pure bred heifers, two years old,
bred six months, and springers, $115.
Grade cows, two to six years old, bred
six months and springers, 800 to to5.
Grade heifers, bred six months and
springers, $75.
The field man of the department of
animal industry Of the Colorado Agri-
cultural college says that Holsteins are
preferable for this valley, in his opin-
ion, and says that they can be had in
Wisconsin and Minnesota at Q w
slight advance over the figures given
for Jerseys in Missouri.
To get the cows here would add per-
haps twenty dollars to their price, but
the ordinary farmer in this valley would
rather have one pure bred COW at $50
than two grade cows at $75.
In few days Professor Lindgren,
the Project Agriculturist, is going to
Wisconsin to get Holstein cows for
bunch of men at Delta, and those who
are ready to get good cows at this time
would do well to see him.-Montrose

white man and. the Black m me ditch
were its parable. The dignity and the
shame of labor were side by side, para
doxically yoked to the same task.
Margarita and her aunt looked on
and smiled and joy began to settle on
the girl. During Gerry's first restless
week she had steeled herself each
night to the thought that she would
wake to find him gone. But now he
was taking root, 1t amused him to
dig. Well, let him dig. There was no
end to digging.
Gerry occasionally varied the work
of digging with making some knfck-
knack for the house. The twisted
limbs of trees became benches to sup
plant the rickety chairs, clumsily
patched and totally Inadequate to his
weight. In the same way he made the
massive frame of a bed and Bonifacio

Alan, that it's because Glenn is there

Alan Wayne had been away for
year. He had not returned from Mont
real but had gone one from there TO
work in South America and, later, to
Africa. -------r
=. He had been in town for several
days when he met the Judge one after
noon in November on the avenue.
Judge" he said without preamble,
l''what's this hear about Gerry dis
appearing"
Its true" said the Judge and add
led grimly, "he disappeared the day you
went to Montreal"
! Alan colored and his face turned
grave. II am sorry" he said. "I
didn't know it."
;; Sorry for what?" asked the judge,
3but Alan refused the opening and the
Judge hardly regretted it. They were
not in tune and he felt it. His heart
twas heavy over Alan for his own sake.
He had. broken what the Judge had
long reverenced as 9 charmed circle.
He had exiled himself from that which
should have been dearer to him than
his hearts desire. The judge won
;dered If he realized it. You're not
igoing out to Red HIP" he asked, try

,was the Judge after? "No." he said

become a sort of poohbah on construc-
;ticn in Africa. They get premium
for lending me-"
Alan's speech habitually drawled ex-
cept for an occasional retort that came
like the crack of a whip. The Judge
Hooked him over curiously. Alan's
dress was almost too refined. His per-
son was as well cared for as u wom-
ans. Every detail about him was
studied negatioD of work, utility, serv-
dee. The judge thought Of Collinge-
Tord's story and wondered.
They walked in silence for some
time and then Alan took his leave. The
Judge followed his erect figure with
isolemn eyes. Alan had deteriorated
