RESTORED TO HEALTH.
Tiymmi r
It la very difficult to estimate the
total loss from cotton wilt The in-
jury Tories from the death of a tew
planta to the destruction of hundreds
of acres. Several factors are to be
considered In estimating the loss. We
must add to the actual shortage of
the crop In the spots where the cot-
ton dies: (1) A diminished yield of
the surrounding cotton due to the
dwarfing of the plants from partial In
fectlons; (2) a lessened Income to
the farmers on account of the neces-
sity of planting on Infected land some
less profitable crop, such as corn, or
of throwing cotton out of cultivation
altogether; (3) the increased cost of
cultivation of wilt-infected spots due
to the foothold obtained by crab-grass,
nut-grass, cockleburs, and other weeds,
after the death of the cotton; (4) a
depreciation In the market value of
wllf lnfected land.
These losses probably amount to
more than 12,000,000 per annum and
are annually Increasing.
Cotton wilt may make Its appear-
ance on single plants In a field, but
Its later and most characteristic de-
velopment Is in definite spots of Ir-
regular slse and varying area In which
most of the plants slowly wilt and
die. 8ome plants partially recover,
but remain dwarfed and bushy, often
one sided, while for some distance
around the wllt-Infected area the cot-
ton Is more or less stunted by partial
root Infections. Occasional, plants are
found to remain healthy even In th»

worst Infected spots. Of two plants
In the small hill one may die and the
other live.
The disease reappears In the same
place each year cotton la planted and
'on a larger scale. This annual ap-
pearance and spread will distinguish
wilt from barren spots due to other
causes.
Wilt is most prevalent during June
and July, but some cases continue to
develop until the end of the season.
The standard varieties of cotton differ
considerably In susceptibility to wilt,
but none of them are sufficiently re-
sistant to be cultivated with profit on
Infected land. Extended variety testa
on Infected fields have shown that as
a general rule the large boll sorts,
Russell, Truitt, etc., are more subject
to wilt than other groups or varieties.
The most resistant of the American
Upland varieties tested was the Jack-
son Limbless, which produced about
46 per cent, of a crop where other
kinds failed. The original Jackson
was not sufficiently resistant to justi-
fy Its general cultivation, but It has
been of value as a basis for breeding
better races.
Egyptian cotton, Is more resistant
to wilt than Upland cotton, but It
has not as yet been found practicable
to utilise this quality, as the Egyptian
varieties do not succeed In our south-
eastern states and It Is easier to breed
resistance direct from Upland va-
rieties than from crosses with Egyp-
tian cotton.
The use of resistant varieties has
been shown by experiments In most
of the southern states, to be a sat-
isfactory method of combating wilt.
The Illustration shows an enlarged
section of port of a diseased cotton
stem, with vessels filled by the wilt
fungus. Normal water vessels are
shown (H) In comperlson with several
sueh vessels (V) plugged by the wilt
fungus.
TN Neapolitan Popper.
The Neapolitan pepper should be
grown more largely by gardeners
where conditions are not especially
Csvorable for peppers. It Is much
easier then other varieties of the
same type and attains a else which
satisfies market requirements.. Pep-
pers are grown moat extensively
southward, In New Jersey and other
prominent trucking regtone, but they
might he produced profitably at high
attltudca which arc comparatively free
from late cprlag and earlt fall froata.
The grower ohould be assured of a
market before planting largely.

The Ideal Dairy Cow.
should extend well forward and not
hang down. -The milk veins should
be large and the farther they go the
better. The udder should be loose and
pliable, when empty—not fleshy.
The eyeB should be large and bright
and. project well out from the face.
This Is a strong indication of the
nerve force needed for strong diges-
tion and large milk secretion.
The dairy cow should be deep and
wide from one to two as this gives her
large capacity for rough feed. The
back from one to four should be sharp.
With little flesh, when she Is In good
condition. She should be well cut up
behind so that the udder can extend I
well up, as at three. Her flank should j
be well arched, as at five, to provide .
room for a large udder.

CROPS FOR GOOD ROTATION
"Play with the children 1” was the
recurrent advice of a wise and suc-
cessful man. ‘This will keep your
heart young, your viewpoint fresh,
your wit sparkling. The child heart Is
at once the purest and the happiest
In all nature; the child tongue Is a
transfiguring power."
Something of this lndulbtable power
attaches to good stories of those naive
and Innocent "little ones" scrlpturally
declared specially blessed and potent.
The child mind transforms, the child
touch lifts to glad laughter Incidents
and accidents not otherwise worth
noting. Witness this little tale of the
careful mother to whom came a tiny
son all agog over the acquirement of
new and forbidden knowledge.
"Mother!" cried the child, baby
eyes shining, baby cheeks glowing,
"do you know what ‘I'll be horuswog-
gled’ means?”
"No, dear," said the mother, sol-
emnly, seizing the opportunity to Im-
plant a lesson. "I’m sure I do not.”
“Well, I do." was the ecstatic an-
swer, the suggested lesson being ut-
terly Ignored. "It means just the
same as ‘I'll be gol-darned!’" \
Excellent Method ef Succeeslon to
•upport Herd of Fifty Hogs With
Pig*—The Plan.
My field Is 20 rods In width and 40
rods In length, divided into five sec-
tions, each four rods In width, con-
taining one acre. Along the division
fence are mulberry trees for shade.
Beginning In April, lot No. 1 was
planted In sorghum, to be followed by
turf oats and vetch In October. No. 2
was planted In sweet potatoes, also to
be followed by oats and vetch. No. 3
was planted in peanuts; No. 4 Is plant-
ed 111 sweet potatoes; No. 5 is planted
in artichokes.
The following year, lot No. 1, which
was In oats and vetch through the
winter. Is planted In sweet potatoes,
to be followed by oats and vetch . In
the fall; No. 2 also covered with oats
and vetch through the winter, Is
planted In artichokes; No. 3 Is planted
In sorghum or kafir corn, to be fol-
lowed by oats and vetch In October:
No. 4 Is planted In peanuts, and No. 6
In sweet potatoes, both to be followed
by oats and vetch. This succession
and rotation Is to support so hogs
with pigs- etc.
SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD
NOT SLEEP
T write to tell you bow thankful I
am for the wonderful Cutlcura Rem-
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
I took care of the child. It was all
over her face- and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. I used Cutlcura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-
plied Cutlcura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cutlcura Re-
solvent, when you could see a change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
Is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think It Is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cutlcura. I
send you a picture taken when she was
about 18 months old.
“She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother bad all
the best doctors and tried all kinds of
salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cutlcura Remedies. Mrs.
H. Klernan, 663 Quincy St., Brooklyn,
N. Y, Sept. 27, 1909."
After Suffering With Kidney Dleor-
dere for Many Years.
Mrs. John S. Way, 209 8. 8th St.,
Independence, Kans., says: "For a
number of years I was a victim of
disordered kidneys. My back ached
sage of the kidney se-
constantly, th« pas-
cretlons was irregu-
lar and’ my feet and
ankles were badly
swollen. Spots often
appeared before my
eyes and I became
very nervous. After
using numerous remedies without re-
lief I was completely cured by Doan's
Kidney Pills. This seems remarkable
when you consider my advanced age."

Fritz the gardener was a stolid Ger-
man who was rarely moved to ex-
traordinary language. Even the most
provocative occasions only caused him |
to remark mildly on his ill-luck. Not
Jong ago he came back from the city
In the late evening after a hard day
In the market place. He was sleepy,
and the train being crowded, the bag-
gageman gave him a chair In Ills
roomy car.
Finally the train reached Bloom-
field. Fritz still slept as It pulled In
and his friend had to Bhake him and
tell blin where he was.
"I tanks you,” said Fritz, as he rose
slowly to his feet. The open door of
the car was directly In front of him.
He walked straight out of It.
The baggageman sprang to look aft-
er him. Fritz slowly picked himself
up from the sand by the side or the
track, looked up at the door, and said
with no wrath In his voice:
"There should here be some steps.”

GENERAL FARM NOTES.
Peed the slop to the hogs before
the grain Is fed.
Never attempt to keep summer but-
ter for early fall prices, because It
will not keep.
Look out for all breeding places for
mosquitoes and flies; abollBh them.
8owf a good patch of carrots for
the horses this year, If you never have
before.
When two horses become accus-
tomed to working together, don’t
change them.
If the Incubator does the hatching
you can keep the hens laying all the
time.
Put a shallow box of buckwheat
shorts near the calf. It will soon be-
gin to eat It.
Any enterprising farmer living near
a town of 6,000 or more can sell
every pound of his butter at full retail
prices or little above, the year round.
If the ewes are young they may not
let the lambs suck until they are held
once, so that the lambs can get at
them. There la no trouble after that.
Ooata do not fatten on pasture as
fast as abeep. They prefer brush, but
brush la not a fattener. They ought
to take kindly to straw.
There Is great room for more dairy
work In the south. Millions of dollars
are sent north for cheese, butter and
other dairy produets that ought to be
made at Mome.
Making the hens do all they are
capable'of doing and than through
aelectlon and breeding, growing bet-
ter hens, will put any poultry plant
on a paying basla.
When the vigor of the flock la low.
productiveness cannot long ba kept
up, therefore the profit will be very
little, If any, so It pays to keep tap
flock vigorous.
Mtnaofi to Hoalth.
Owners of country homes some-
times forgot that the manure pile in
a menace to the health of the family,
particularly la thla the case whan

Although a moat escelleat fertlllaor

more quickly or eortalnly than stable

It la, that they carry disease, then the
unsightly heap should bo removed to
the garden or field where Its value to

Clever Joke of Kind King.
King Edward's great nature was Il-
lustrated the other night by a London
correspondent at the Press elub in
New York.
“The king," said the correspondent,
"was visiting Itufford Abbey, and one
morning. In company with his host,
lK>rd Arthur Savile, be took a. walk
over the preserves.
“Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big burly
man, rushed forward and seized a
shabby fellow with a dead pheasant
protruding from the breast of his coat.
“ ‘Sir,’ said Lord Arthur to the king,
‘this fellow Is a bad egg. T.his Is the
second time I've caught him poaching.'
“But the king's handsome face
beamed, and be laughed bis gay and
tolerant laugh.
*' ‘Oh, let him go,' he said. 'If he
really were a bad egg, you know, he
wouldn't poach.’"
Tha Return of Ferguson.
A night clerk In a hotel sat dozing
at his desk at about 1 a. in., when a
man In evening clothes came in as If
laboriously trying to walk a cluck,
and aald:
• "I’m Ferguson; key to room 44."
The guest disappeared in the direc-
tion of his room, one flight up. lu a
few minutes a man in his shirt sleeves
with a flattened silk hat on the side of
his head, and with one shoe on a foot
and the other In bla band, came In and
aald to the clerk:
"I'm Ferahon, key to for-for."
“Mr. Ferguson Just took his key and
went up."

Judges’ Wigs.
The wig Is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern. Judi-
cial appearance, and no one can aay
that It falla In thla reaped. The cus-
tom was originated by a French
Judge In the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis’
wig one day, he found It gave him
such a atern and dignified appearance
that be decided to get one for himself
and wear It at all tlmee In court.
Thla ha did, and the reault waa so
satisfactory from a legal point of
stow, that not only Judges, but bar-
rlstera, also took up the cuatotu
throughout Europe.
