Back to Nature A hen is not supposed to have much com mon sense or tact, yet every time she lays an egg she cackles forth the fact, A rooatei hasn't got a lot of intellect to show, l>ut none the less most rooaters have en ough good sense to crow. I he mule, the most despised of beasts, has a most persistent way of letting people know he's around by his insistent bray. I he busy little bees buzz, bulls bellow and cows rnoO, and watch dogs bark, and granders quack and doves and pigeons coo. I he peacock spreads his tail and squawks; pig squeal and robins sing, and even serpents know enou to hiss before they sting.

Four additional agents are to be employ-J ed for work along the lines of the Southern Ry., the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, and the M. & O. Railroad, In central and eastern Alabama. Unless circumstances' should make some other arrange have their headquarters at Attalla, Anniuton, Tuscaloosa and Maples ville, Ala. Mr Grabel has had practical experience in growing cot ton in boll weevil territory and four j other men with like experience are to be selected for the Alabama agent1 i cios. The weevil has not spread to any of the localities to which these agents have been assigned and there is no reason to expect its early ap pearance in I hem. The purpose of establishing the work in these lo ' entitles is to enable the farmers to be thoroughly prepared for the '? weevil if it shall at any time enter : their fields. , Fortunately, the cultural methods | advised by the Cotton Culture De partment are identically those which the late I)r. S. A. Knapp, of 'the I'nlted States Agricultural De partment, recommended for increae j ir:g the production of cotton wheth er the weevil be present or not. Farmers throughout the cotton belt will, therefore, find It profitable to i adopt these methods, even though the weevil may never spread to thler farms As a further Btep in aid of the work of the Cotton Culture Depart ment, President Finley has preapr ed a circular letter incorporating Dr. Knapp* #dVlce which is being distributed to farmers in all cotton growing territory along the lines of the railways above mentioned. Far nh ?rs along the lines of these Com panies may obtain copies of this circular letter by addressing W. W. Finley, President of the Southern Hallway Company , Washington, D.
