Finally, ex-Presidfent Poincare has turned to his former professions l senator and attorney in ofder to ;plete the inroads made in his priate foitune during his term as resident. Th? total allowances to the French resident are 1,200,000 fiancs a year r 1 CO,COO francs a month. Out of iis he must pay every cent of his imestic expenses, including the rgc retinue of serviyits, secretaries id numerous other employes. He ust keep up the state automobiles, :>rses for drawing the state carages when state visitors are his jests. He must* also pay all the expenses state dinners which are numerous id large. These dinners are usually irved by some one of the leading istauratcurs of the city. Before ie war, they cost about 40 francs a ate. Now 40 francs won't buy an dinary luncheon in one of the bet r-class of cafes ahd restaurants in iris. The cost of uniforms and liveries r the servants is also a big item, ifore the war the uniform for one 1 the outriders on the presidential ; ach cost 315 francs for the coat, e waistcoat cost 220 francs and the 1 illow leather breeches 126 francs.

The demands mad on the .French president for charit; are enormous aod owing to the tra ditions established when France wa a monarchy and the head of th state was most generous, he is oblij cd to respond liberally.

Warning to the cotton growers of lie whole Mississipi Valley, from llabama U? central Texas, that the otton crcp in many localities ma\' irovo a complete failure if good ested seed is not used, is given by he United States Department of Agriculture. While many farmers :no\v that much of the seed counted >n for this year is of low vitality, here has not been a full realization >f the present danger to the cotton rep, say the Federal specialists. Tests in different localities show hat much of the seed this year has ess than 50 per cent germination, vhercas good planting seed should germinate approximately 75 per :cnt. S'r.p'.e Method of Testing. Farmers are advised by the United States Department of Agricul utic i>j usc.:iui:n cne character of their se.id in advance by utilizing a vimp'o to :t, substantially the same is the so-called "rag doll" seed test, kvhich ha . been widely recommended by the department for corn seed. By this method the farmer can ascertain in five days the condition ?f his planting seed. To test cotton see l by this method an ordinary towel or piece of muslin about 18 inches wide and two or three feet long is used. The cloth shc/ulu be spread out and marked off cngthwise into three sections so ihat the two rides can bo folded over and made to meet at the center. then two 1 ts of 10") seeds each ?h uld bo counted out and spread out in two* different parts of the middle section or p >rtion of the. tcwcl. The sides of the towel are then folded over so that the edges meet in the center, cove, ing the seed completely. The cloth should be pressed down firmly over the side and then rol'e 1 up, a corn cob or piece tf broom handle being used for a core. The doll made in this f; sVcn is tied in the. middle with a tiing and then given a soaking in nix-warm water for several nv.rutjs until it is wet through. After training off the surplus moisture so hat it \vd! not drip or beccms satrated at'the bottom, the doll n dace 1 who e it can he kept warm md mci t. It should bo left for five lavs in a tomnr^-Jifuvn nf cn ?.wvii v v/A tl\IV.'UU C 1/ legrecs during tho day an i (\0 decrees at night. It shmld net bi )Iacod near a window where it is ikely to get too cool nor near the ire where it may become too rami. The doll should not be soak(1 again but kept mcit by sprinking each day. What the Test Will Show. At the end of five days unroll tho oil and count the number of sprout d seeds in each of the two lots, [ealthy seeds will send cut whit * adica's or root beginnings less han half an inch long. The number f well-sprouted seeds in each lot cpresents tho percentage of g >od eed. With this knowledge the fuller can decide for himself whether lie seed which he p'any to use is fit > plant, how thickly it must bi lanted to provivde a normal' stand nd how large a stock should be resrved for replanting. Planting too early is a danger lat needs to be home in mind, parcularly in view of the scarcity of ood seed stocks. Early planting is Iways preferable to late planting, ecause the growth that plants make uring moderate weather in the pring months is more apt tq be norlal. Furthermore early plants begin > fruit near the around instead of reducing large italics which make le crop late. But it is possible to lant too early and so have the seed >t in the ground or if the seed germinates the young plants may bo illed by frost or stunted by too much cold weather. - ? n?
