C.-Just bocause cotton seed are bringing about twice as much as they usually do, farmers must not overlook the fact that next year's planting seed slu u.dl be saved.

C.?The dairy cow often suffers the most from exposure to the weather before real winter has bgeun. A fter steady cold i comes the cow is generally stabled. Exposure to cold rains in November is often more injurious to the anirr.al than the colder but dry weath er later in the winter. The dairy cow is not lik: the fa* steer, protected from cold by a layer of fat. As a result, bad weather causes a big drop in milk production. So long as the weather is dry it is just as well to leave the cow cu s;d~ nights for some time yet, but every cold rain should find her protected. It is not necessary in this climate to go to any great expense on most farms in order that the barn may bo warm. The main thing is to have tight walls so there is no draft or wind and a good roof. Care should he taken in arranging the stalls in the form of a platform of the right or.gth and a gutter of sufficient I pth to hold the manure. The cleanliness of the milk depends to a considerable extent upon having ho barn built so the cow will keep herself clean. o CROWS' ROOSTS NOT MENACE Federal Department of Agriculture Explains How Nature Has Arranged Things Beneficially. The latest year book of the depnrtment of agriculture gives an account of one of the most interesting bird phenomena that still persist in the thickly settled eastern ana central states?in "roosts" where crows gather every night In cold weather. Although, even in the nesting season, crows are more or less gregarious, their habit of (locking is most conspicuously displayed during the winter. In September they begin to migrate toward a comparatively small area of the country?the territory from Connecticut south to Virginia and westward beyond the Mississippi river. Their roosts are usually stands of pine or other evergreens, although sometimes they pass the night in groves of deciduous trees, lloosts are often established In the near neighborhood of large cities; one at Arlington, Va., Just across the Potomac river from Washington, Is supposed to have contained at times as many as two hundred thousand birds. Several other equally populous roosts have been observed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Fortunately, the crows do not feed together, but as a rule disperse by day and forage over a wide area, so that the roost is not so serious a menace to crops in its vicinity as might be supposed.?Youth's Companion.

THE KIND Of DAIR\ Eminent'# Best, One of the Greatest < Large Barrel and Udder, Thin In selecting a dairy cow, it is neces- j sarv to examine both her appearance and her history. By appearance is meant especially those visible features which indicate to the knowing eye whether or r? f a cow has good dairy capacity. In history is included both the record ai.d the pedigree of the cow The picture of Eminont's Bess, reproduced here, shows better than any description what the shape of a Rood ' dairy cow is. The dairy cow should \ he fine-featured and angular, with very little surplus tlesh. She is a combination of wedges, all tending to come together at her head. That is to say, she is narrower at the shoulders than at the hips, looking from the front; narrower in the shoulder region than in the rear, looking from above, and shallower in the fore quarters than in the hind quarters, looking from the side. She should have a large barrel, large udder and prominent milk vein, sharp thin withers, and a clean-cut. intelligent head, with large, bright, expressive eyes. Her ^kin should he soft and pliable. Finally. she should, it goes without saying. he sound and free of disease. Hut one cannot depend on looks alone when selecting a cow for dairv BRIEF NOTES.

The best guide of all is the animal's milk and butterfat record, as found out by means of milk scales and a Babcock tester. The records quoted below indicate how important this is. In the Clemson College dairy herd were two cows equal in appearance. Both were of good dairy typo, as far as could be seen. Yet consider the following record of a year's milking: Dolly Eurotus Difference Pounds milk... 8...67 3.446 5.121 j libs. butterfat 346.9 136.1 210.8 Value butterfat f 1TS. 1? 1 $69.70 $108.51 . . ? ,\ .'in . or nt I v u?*i ui ii-t'ii . . f in. iu f i Profit ^113.51 $30.07 $ 83.44 The labor involved in keeping these two cows was the same. They were , of almost the same weight and about the same quantity of food was needed | to maintain their bodies. The differ- 1 ence in their value, then, is due to the ! fact that, for some reason not appar- 1 ently to the eye, Dolly could handle more feed and was so constructed that she could return more milk per pound of food eaten than could Eurotus.

Germany's conduct of submarine varfare has brought forth an abunlant crop of American inquiries, of vhich Joseph C. Grew, the American diarge, recently has filed no less han ten?five of them today. They remain to be answered, inluding the cases of the Marina, on vhich the American government de lares to be inconsistent with the promises of the German government t garding the treatment of passenger liners. The United States bases its atti:ude in the case of the Arabia on the Assumption that it was unarmed and orpedoed \k ithout warning, and is .inable to see that there was justification for forcing the passengers ?n :o the boats. Washington belie es he submarine commander on ascertaining that there were women and children on the decks, should have refrained from making an attack. Germany, in the four cases in regard to which the ri plies already have boon marlc, was found to havn fairly convincing answers, which, ic is believed, may put quite a different aspect on affairs. It is pointed cut here, for example, that, according- to testimony of her own passengers, the Arabia was armed and used her cannon: that the sea was smooth, and that ohter vessels were near. It is argued that the Arabia, having on board a large number of coolie war workers should be regarded as a transport. ? o Pick out any man with a large family and watch the children as they grow up and go out into the world; and you will find that some of them will be rich and some of them will be poor.
