Ameri cans had attempted to bolld machines modeled after the English type with out success, but Slater, in less /han a year, had completed a set of ma chines that startled everyone by run ning successfully at the first trial.

Armchair$ Once Luxuriet Armchairs only became possible with the breakdown of monnrchlal and feudal power and the decay of the old family and social hierarchies. In the European society of two or three hundred years ago, It was Im possible for anyone—from the Holy Roman emperor and the king of France down to the poorest beggar, from the hparded patriarch to the baby—to loll In the presence of any one else. Every man was always en gaged In being impresslva towards his Inferiors, or respectful to those above him. It was only hr the eight eenth century when the old hier archies had begun to break up, that furniture began to become comfort able.—Aldous Huxley In Vanity Fair. A Poor. Fertliziers Be Corrected By Side Dressing May Under the uncertain conditions pre vailing at the beginning of this cot ton growing season, many farmers may have varied their usual fertiliser practice. True economy is always de sirable, but buying low-grade ferUMzer never Is. It is a case of being “penny wise and pound foolish.” Poor fer tiliser meaas a poor crop. Fortunately, there itlll remain* a remedy this season for the farmer whose cotton got off to a poor star’ aa a result of using Insufficient or im proper fertiliser at planting time. It cotton plants appear poor and under nourished they are probably hungry for nitrogen. The surest and quickest way to feed this nitrogen to the cot ton la by applying a readily available plant food like nitrate of soda. Tbs application should be from 150 to 200 pound* of aod% per acre, put on one side of the row four or alz Inches from the cotton with a distributor or by hand. • This Is the method ap proved by leading agricultural experi ment stations. Applications made Immediately af ter chopping will generally be found most satisfactory. Late aide dress ings do not ordinarily pay as well as the earlier onea.* ' Local and Personal News from Williston An Odd Violin Label Johannes Robey, the well-known collector of violins, has one Instru ment of which he la particularly proud, since It contains a label which la a cariosity. The label ts In old Latin and ft reads: “Viva fuy In syl- vis; sum dura oclssa securL Duin vlxl, tacul; mortua, dulce cano." Which being interpreted means: ’! was living In the forest; the cruel ax slew me. While I was alive I was mute; dead, I sweetly sing.” This violin la a product of the Sixteenth century “lutist” or violin maker named Gasps Pniffopgrugcar.
