Examine your cotton planting- need
and see that they are not damp or
heating.
Thresh out your peas and beans

You can't increase the value of
your cotton, but you can decrease its
value by leaving it unprotected from
the weather.
Plant Diseases
Clean up peach and apple orchards
to destroy all fallen fruit, limbs and
twigs.
Agricultural Engineering
Plan to keep the tractor busy during
the winter months with belt jobs,
sawing wood, lumber, feed grinding,
etc. It will also be a good time to
cut in cotton stalks and other material
on the land with a disc harrow.
Build and repair terraces now so
that they may settle before the hard
spring and summer rains.
The new type farm explosives are
inexpensive method of getting rid of
stumps and other field obstructions
as well as digging ditches*
This is a good time to build or repair
fences if you are to handle livest
oek.
Animal Husbandry
Provide plenty of bedding, under
good shelter, for hogs during cold
nights.
Make liberal use of winter forages
I
such as barley, ryo and oats for hog
grazing.
Do not allow the sheep to take the
cold winter rains but' provide them
with a shelter which affords dry feet,
dry backs and no. draught.
Feed all the legume hay they will
clean up. Give beef cattle good
roughage, such as legume hay.
Feed mules cottonseed meal along
with other concentrates such as corn,
if grassy hay or fodder is used for
roughage.
Give idle mules free access to
roughage and reduce concentrates
one-half.
Dairying
Provide convenient and abundant
water for milking cows, which are
inclined to drink too little water during
the winter.
For winter feeding include a legume
hay and a succulent roughage.
Feed each cow grain in proportion
to milk produced.
Feed calves over six months old
and yearling liberally during the winter
to insure proper growth.
Install labor-saving equipment if
possible to take drudgery from dairy
operations.
Hroed cows this month for early
fall calving in 11)30.
Poultry
Feed two or three pounds daily of
a wet fattening mash per 100 hens
of the light breeds to maintain body

prevent colds, roup and sorehead.
Provide fresh water for the hens.
Do not force them to drink ice cold
water.
If pullets have gone into a molt
feed liberally to bring them hack into
production.
Feed the old hens liberally so that
they will complete the molt and begin
production.
Horticulture
Prune fruit trees and bunch grapes.
Make garden plans, get catalogs,
and order seeds early.
If fruit trees have not been set do
so this month; fall planting in the
South is preferable.
Sow celery seed in cold-frames for
spring crop.
Order seed potatoes for delivery in
late \Ja,nunry or early February.
P*'pare hot-beds for sowing in
January.
Continue to prune scuppernongs.
Make cuttings of grapes and omn-j
mental deciduous shrubs.
Protect the shade trees by covering
exposed roots with soil.
Watch for weevils in stored grains
and fumigate with carbon bisulphide
if necessary.
Remember that many insect pests
winter under trash and among crop
remnants and clean all these up for
protection and for looks.
Continue to burn fallen pecan, twigs
which were girdled by the twig-girdler.
Plowing infested fields to reduce
next year's injury froni cotton boll
worm, corn ear worm, tomato fruit
worm and cutworms also.

Black-Draught, this pain entirely
stopped. I began to gain

feeling fine. My health was better
than it had been in years.

Abyssinian Jews Only
Jewish Mountaineers
The only Jewish mountaineer* In
(l>0 w<>rl<! are wild to live In Abyssal".
These tribesmen, Fulashaa u* the> call
themselves, tiitiabit the blghlunds of
wliut was once part of the fju-hut
kingdom of tthleh, the north of the
Negus country.
The KqIumIihh have a typical Jewish
appearance, but lack moat of the conventional
hublts und attribute* or that
race. Neither they nor their ancestor*
have ever engaged In trade. They ure
trappers und rarely mingle with the
Abyaainlans In the town* and villa gen
of the lowland.
They adhere to the Biblical traditions
of the ancestor*, practice the
usual rites und perform a rude Imitation
of the passover ceremonies. They
have neither temples nor rabbis.
In the fuktuesses of their mountains
they preserve In ? quaint mahogany
casket a venerable parchment copy of
the pentateuch, which their sblefi allege
same dftwn to them direct from
King Bolouiou through the Queen of
Bheba.
During the coronation of lies Taffurl
us emperor of Abyssinia, representatives
of the Fulusha tribes presented
to the new monurch a copy of
the manuscripts which King Solomon
sent the Queen of Sheba before they
were married. Thepe are said to contain
the earliest known lovO letters
from u monurch to ids royal consort.
Peace on Earth Belief
of an Old French Race
The Busqucs of the i'yranees "beetion
of France .are on old race which has
outlived the Itoman empire, the I'ark
ages, feudalism and monarchy. They
ure thrifty, hard-working farmers and
fishermen with a simple system of
very Jocul democratic self-government.
They are strong, simple, warm-hearted,
physically sound and comely, and
above ull life-loving. While other
races and social organizations around
them have risen' and fullen, they have
never had a king, a tyrant, an arlstocracy
or a revolution. They seem
to be very religious, und although they
are hot-blooded and Impulsive, they
have never taken a single aggressive
step against a neighbor In warfare.?

Light Harmful to Medicine
Light which Is so helpful to sick
persons does not do their medicines ;
any good. In fuct so many of these J
deteriorate upon exposure to light that !
druggists have authorized a special ,
study to discover containers,, which
will protect their medicines and chetn- '
icals from the harmful light. In some
cases light, rays seem to preserve the
medical virtues of a preparation, hut
In others they are definitely harmful.
The changes which patients notice in
the colors of medicines Is usually Indicative
of change In the medical properties.
The green color of some Iron
preparations changes to an nupleusant
brown. Bright yellow ointments
turn brown or green. Tinctures and
fluid extracts made from vegetable
drugs turn a dark color and depohit
sediments. Serums and other biological
products lose their ability to cure
or prevent disease. $
Fly Fiahing in 200 A. D.
We are Indebted to the Missouri
Fish and Game News for the discovery
that fly fishing is far from a modern
sport. In the Second century of
the Christian era, a Greek, Aelian
wrote as follows:
"I have heard of n .Macedonian way
of catching fish, and It Is this: They
fasten red wool Around a hook ami
fit on to the wool two feathers which
grow under a cock's wattles and are
in color like wax. Their rod Is six
feet long, and the line is the same
length. Then they throw their snare,
and the fish, attracted and maddened
by the color, comes up, thinking from
the pretty sight to get a dainty mouthful
; when, however, it opens its Jaws,
it is caught by the hook and enjoys
u bitter repast, a captive.
Appointment* by President
The I'reshleiil appoints, without con
sent of the congress, his private secretary

Equal Opportunity to Lote
"I thought you* rather liked Mr.
("rasher. Yqu know he believes In
equality for women."
"Yes." said Miss Cayenne. "He
goes too far In that Idea to suit me
w hen tie took me to the opera he Inlisted
on matching coins to determine
which of us was to pay for the tickets
i I the supper afterward."
