How to Raise Cotton Under Boil Wee.
vii Conditions.

/. Prepare your land in October
by blowing it up with dynamite.
2. Lay it off in rows IL feet apart,
and plant your cotton seed in Decem-
ber.
3. When your cotton comes up
thin it to one stalk in a hill % feet
apart.
4. Spray each stalk twice day
with Hoyt's German cologne.
5. Cover your cotton with mosG
to netting when it is two weeks old
this netting to be stretched over poul-
try wire.
6. Spread "tanslefoot" between all
cotton rows and replace it every day.
Z. Burn off all the nearby woods,
and cut down dead trees and burn
them.
8. Dust the following mixture on
your cotton twice day: Epson salts,
oalomel, cream of wheat and the white
of an egg.
9. Have two hired hands for every
acre in cultivation. Furnish them
with BARRIERS tweezers to be used in
pinching the heads off any boil weevils
which show up.
10. Mortgage your farm and buy
nitrate of soda and spread plentifully
around the roots of the cotton.
II. If any of the bolls should get
punctured have the punctures vul-
canized at once. Any good automo-
lille tire man can do this for you.
IL. Begin picking your cotton in
February end try to have it all ginned
end sold by March Is. This will en-
able you to go to worl, and grow
corn, peas, potatoes and hogs for
home consumption. This kind of con-
sumption does not need the services
of a doctor.
13. Pay your preacher. Trade for
cash. Settle all your old debts, and
live happy ever afterwards.-The Car
roll County Times, Ga.

GTigin of Printing.

This is the age of printed reading
matter.
With 24,5S9 different newspapers
end periodicals., whose annual circu,
lation is over IA billion copies, with
the book publishers turning out over
IT'S million volumes each year, and
with public libraries established in
approximately six Thousand towns and
cities of the United States, it is hard
for us to realize that men didn't al
ways have as much quantity and
variety of reading matter as We have
today.
Yet not so many centuries ago the
average person had no chance of own
ing any sort Of boUk. Only the
wealthy could obtain the rolls which
were the only known means of pre-
serving literature.
If man wanted 4 certain book, he
had his slaves transcribe q copy OF
it.
This was = slow and expensive
method, bit it was the only way a
library could be formed.
A few booksellers existed in the
days of Rome, but man almost had
to pawn his villa to buy their wares
That we today enjoy such an abun-
dance Of cheap reading matter is
largely due to the development Of a
material on which to write and print
The first books Of prehistoric days
were crude pictures and sign-writing
upon wood, bark, stones and similar
materials
Tho Babylonians and Assyrians
wrote upon clay, which they baked in
to bricks.
Excavations OF buried cities have
brought to light hundreds Of such
brick tablets bearing inscriptions
These specimens Of ancient "brick
Libraries" are square, oblong, conical
cylindrical, and round. In dimensions
they range from vest-pocket-sized
brickpamphlets an inch by half-inch
in surface to regular "Kelleys" Of one
foot by nine inches
They can be seen in the British
Museum, the Louvre, and the Art
Museum Of New York city.
When some Edison of ancient Egypt
discovered that the stalks of the
papyrus plant, relied into sheets and
dried, formed a better substance to
write on than clay bricks, it was no
longer necessary for a writer to con-
duct a brick kiln. or for the society
ladies of the time to be accompanied
on their afternoon visits by OK carts
hauling ten-pound calling cards.
Papyrus does not decay, and in
the Memphis Museum you can see
manuscript giving an account of
leprosy 1000 years before Christ.
Still more remarkable is the
"Papyrus Prisse" in the Louvre at
Paris. This book is the oldest in ex-
istence; it deals with "How tc Be-

have Wisely" and was written about
1900 years ago
The epics of Homer were written
on 'papyrus rolls.
This writing material was used by
the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans
down to the 9th century of our era
Leaves of trees, coated with wax
to take impressions, were also used
by the Romans and Greeks.
Parchment, the skin of the sheep,
was another writing material of ear
ly invention.
The custom of inditing legal docu-
ments of especial Importance on parch-
ment still exists.
Paper was first made by the Chi
rese. They knew the secret of its
manufacture in the first century of
our time-possibiy earlier.
From the Chinese, the Hindus,
Persians and Arabs found out about
paper, and these in turn passed on
the knowledge to the Greeks, from
whom the other European nations
learned of it.
The first paper mills were set up
in Spain by the Moors in 1854, in
which year factories were established
at Valencia and Toledo.
Their materials were rags, grass
jute and bark. Wood pulp as an in
eredient is a modern discovery.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, March 29.-Predictions of a
big yield in Kansas this season had a
bearish effect on the wheat market to-
day. Closing prices were unsettled at
3-S to 1 3-8c net lower with May 131
IS to Isl and July III to 1.18 Corn
finished a shade to 1-4@3-8c down; oats
at a shade decline to 1-Sc advance. and
provisions varying from unchanged fig
ures to a setback of 20 cents.
Downturns in the price of wheat came
chiefly near the end of the day and at
ter a former president of the Kansas
state board of agriculture was quoted as
saying the Kansas wheat crop was en-
tering the growing season with pros
pect of a greater production than at any
time in the history of the state. No more
than three per cent of the acreage would
be abandoned. it was said. Indications
of noor demand from millers at st. Louis
counted also as a depressing factor. and
81. too, did word of q railroad embargo
against shinments of wheat to Fort VII
liam and Port Arthur, Ontario
Although bulls had the advantage dur
ing the earlier part of the day, it was
noticed that reports of high winds,
green bug damage and other unfavora-
BILE crop conditions in the southwest
Were unaccomDanied by orders to pur-
chase. An advance in Liverpool quota
tons was likewise only temporary
stimulus. inasmuch as export bids prov
ed to be for the most part out of line.
Action of the corn market seemed to
depend mainly on changes in the value
Of wheat. Cold wet weather which de
layed seeding gave relative firmness to
oats.
Provisions averaged lower with hog
values. Packers did considerable selling
of lard.

New York, March 29.-Prce tenden-

mistakable upward, although profit-tak-

In contrast to recent dealings, todays

Better industrial prospects again were
the chief accelerating force. Still high
