MARKETING COTTON.
Seasonal Suggestion for tile Benefit
 of the Farmer.

The following seasonable suggestion for the benefit of the cotton and rice farmers are offered by an expert agronomist in the United States de- partment of agriculture:
 Cotton remaining in the field after maturity or exposed to the weather after picking, is likely to become dis colored and to lose value. Under no circumstances should seed cotton be ginned unless thoroughly dry, and the farmer should insist that the ginner use every caution to see that his bale is not gin-cut or mixed with cotton from the preceding load.
 'It is important for the farmer to know the class of his cotton before selling. Investigation made in North Carolina last year indicated that farm CTS who knew the class of tl,eir cotton obtained $1.15 per bale more than those who did not not. Where the conditions are favorable the organiz- alton Of cooperative cotton marketing associations should be considered. The benefits to be obtained include: The development and maintenance of pure variety of cotton of a given length of staple; uniform and better
 ginning; proper storing; and when ready for sale better prices can be secured by assembling samples at a central point, having them properly classed, and offering for sale in even running lots of grades and staples. At prevailing prices cotton saved from weather or other damage will well renay any trouble and expense involved this season.
 Cotton that is not to be sold as soon as it is ginned should be put in a first-class warehouse on a receipt that may be used as collateral in se' curing money quickly if it is needed. Where there is no convenient ware house or the time it is expected to | hold the cotton is not long enough l to justify the expense or trouble of storing, the cotton should be protect ed by building or shed on the farm. In the absence of shelter the cotton should be placed on heavy timbers which keep it off the ground and per init free circulation of air under 1t. | A tarpaulin covering is desirable, but at any rate cotton should not he al I lowed to lie directly on the ground.
 "Rice, as soon as harvested, should
 he put in shocks we'll built and firmly
 braced The saving gained by prompt and efficient shocking is more than worth the effort"

SOME GOOD ADVICE

neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak

little meat, take things easier and use
reliable kidney tonic. There no
other medicine so we'll recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Annapolis
people rely on them. Here's one of
the many statements from Annapolis

WARMTH is FOUND IN SNOW
Without Its Protection in Winter Tim
Der Supplies of the Northern Areas
Would Disappear.

Few of our readers would credit that
the absence OF snow would double the
price of timber. The greater part OF
our common timber comes from the
forests of Canada, Scandinavia and
Russia. All these countries suffer from
a very severe winter, says London Tit
Bits.
For nearly five months of the year
their surface is buried deep under a
mantle Of snow, and the thermometer
in the heart Of the greatest pine forests
not uncommonly falls to 80 degrees be-
low zero, i. e., go degrees of frost.
Snow is one of the best nonconductors
Of heat or cold in the world, and when
the fall is O foot deep a thermometer
showing 6 degrees on its surface will
If buried beneath the snow, rise to
about 80 degrees. The snow, there
fore, is an enormous blanket, protect
ing the roots of the trees from the in
tense cold.
A full-aedged pine can stand almost
any degree Of cold. but a young tree
cannot do so. It might sprout during
summer, but a snowless winter would
infallibly kill it. If, therefore, snow
ceased, the enormous timber supplies
of northern Europe. Asia and America
would disappear.

HOW THE BEES KEEP WARM
Those Inside the Cluster Which They
Form in Cold Weather Go
Through Vigorous Exercises.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as well as during the summer. Being
susceptible to cold. the bee must have
some means OF supplying warmth.
IT was found by experiment that on
" the shell of the cluster made by the
bees in cold weather is compact. This
is formed by one of several layers Of
bees all solidly arranged with their
heads inward, their hairs interlacing.
This arrangement is perfect for con-
eeryation of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift of positions
the bees forming the shell are quiet.
But within the shell strange things are
going on.
1t is here that the heat is generated.
And the antics are not unlike our own
when we are cold.
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there is plenty of
space for many bees to be exercising
at a time. Rapid tanning of the wings,
shaking the body from side to side,
rapid breathing and other movements
are all part of the scheme for raising
the temperature.
In one particular instance, when a
bee had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes,
the thermometer nearest him rose half
a degree, Fahrenheit.
