Select Your Cotton Seed at
Second Picking.
The cotton growers of the 1
South have loetmillions by planting
scrub seed?seed selected
with haphazard recklessnea at the
common co'tou gin: mixed seed
of good stalks, bumblebee cotton

? ~ ...
misshapen cotton from fields
practically turned out to grasp
by neero tenants, all this dopenerate,
unproductive seed mixed
with seed of the better sort, and
farmer's planting seed taken from
this disgusting mixture onlv to
breed poveity for him by poor
yields of poor cotton. If the
seed used on your farm are carefully
bred up through a period!
15 or 20 years, undoubtedly you |
can increase your yields 20 or 30 j
per cent without one extra lick I
of work. A \ery simple plan of
seed selection i* suggested herewith
by Dr. 11. .J. Webber, of
the United S'ates Department
of Agriculture, and the omy
amendment we would suggest
is that the farmer go through liis
field and select his seed plants
for himself, instead ol leaving it
even to his best laborers. Dr.
Webber's plan of seed selection
is as follows :
"Take caretul pickers that remain
on the farm plantation continously
from year to year and j
train them to recognize the best
plants, that is, those most productive,
earliest in ripening, and
having the largest, best formed,
ami most numerous bolls. Each
year before the second picking,
have tbe^e select pickers go over
tho field and pick the cotton
from the bestp'an's only. These
pickers should be paid by the
day and not for the amount
picked. Preserve such seed cotton
separately on a carefully
cleaned tfin to avoid mixing, and
use the seed to plant the general
crop the next year. If sufficient
soad is not secured at tho second
{icking, tho same pickers can be
rent over the field again before
the nex* pi' king."? Progressive

Nearly $100 for One Bale.
Aiken special in the News and
Courier: Ninety-eight dollars
for a single hale of cotton sounds
pretty ' breezy'' bat that is what
an Aiken county farmer received
for a bale of the fleecy staple.
The high price that fanners have
been receiving for cotton has
instituted something of a local
contest among the farmers to see
who can get the largest amount
for a single bale. The hank of
Aiken recently cashed a check
for $S0, which was received
for one bile, a number
have been cashed for amounts
around $80, but the Graniteville
Bank reports if lias cashed one
for $98, which was given in payment
for one bale, and this is the
largest amount^that has been reported.

Just Cows.
The good L'?rd made ju*t cows;

line suits him best, scrubs or
beef cit'le or dairy cuttle ; big
cattle, little ca'tle, aui of
whatever color and shape suits
the owner's taste or purpose.
II he is on poor,hil'y land, the
cow naturally becomes smaller;
if on rich land with abundant
gias-', she naturally becomes
larger. If the farmer needed
milk, and kept on demaudiug
milk by milking closel.\ morning
and evening, he got milk cows.
If he let them run on the range
and let the c. Ives run with them
011 poor land, he got scrub cows
If he kept on milking and feeding
generously both summer and
winter, lie got big cows that gave
a reasonable quantity of milk.
If lie let the calves do the milking,
he go* cowst ha* gave enough
milk for the cdves for three or
four months and then went
dry.
If the good Lord ever made
any particul ar kind ol cows they
were the dual purpose and man
has narrowed l hem into beef or
milk to 9iiit his particular pur
pose. If we do not have a dual
purpose breed of cows it is 'imply
because the farmer lias neglected
his business aMd has been
carried away by !he arguments
of men who wish ti e special pur
pose animal and flint alone,
It is not easy to conceive bow
ihe human race could exist without
the cow. It furnishes meat,
milk, leather and hides, and we
use the skeleton for various purposes.
The females ail aive
milk and all g ow beef- and it is
up to man to modify this animal
according :o the special purpose
for which he intends to use it..
We can have them any color we
want or any combination of colors,
and any size we want. We
can have them square blocks, or
we san|have them wedges, if we
obeyjthe laws which govern breed
ing and feeding The great Creator
made just cows. We can make
out of them any kind of row we
want.?Wallace's Farmer.

Wheat Goes well With
Crimson Clover.
Progressive Farmer.
In the last issue of The Pro
gressive Earner, I noticed that
Mr. Parker, replying to Mr.
Rowland's inquiry about sowing
oats and annual or crimson
clover together, states that he
has never had any experience
with the two together. 1 have in
a small way experimented with
crimson cloven (or about twenty
years. I have sowed it alone,
and also with rye, wheat and
oats. Tt is an/ advantage to sow
the clover with some of the
grains named, a* it docs not
"b> cT' so badly and can be mowed
to betler advantage. The point
l<? bo aimed at is to get some
thing that ill bo ready for tlie
mower at the s.une time wi'h
the clover. Kye is too early and
passes the stage for cutting be*
l'?re the clover is sufficiently
matured to give the best results.
Wheat or rust proof oa's wi l
come in about with the clover.
Winter oats are a iittie too late.
I have secur d more satisfactory
crops from wheat auu clover together
than Irom any other
c mibinatinn.

Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the tdooic from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron ionly a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few yonng women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
I change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weaknesses
which too often come with marriage
and motherhood, not understanding
| that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
| of Its freshness and the form of Its
j fairness.
