MONKEY COTTOX PICKERS.
The experiment of a Mississippi
cottoa planter in cheap cotton picirg
has been going the rounds ofthe press.
Itis rep.rted in a reputab!e agricu!
tural paper, and so anthoritative a
newspaper as the News and Courier,
always watchful of all things apper
tiining to the interests of the farmers,
accepts the report of the MissiesiPi
planter's experience as no' %t 1t1 o
very. remarkable, and treats the ex
periment seriously. We ar not dia
posed t make fun of it, for the
monkey is a very intelligent litt:le
creAture, and he ha; been trained itjo
do thing. jast as remarkable as i bis
cotton piecking busiuess. We have
.otten had occasiot tf) Say tnst neces
- sity often forces an invention to mee
ar emergency, and in this instance th
low price of cotton is giveu as th
reason which led the Misssisipi pla
tor to try the munRey as a cotto
picker. The cost of production mus
be- made less than the price pad fox
cotton, otherwise it beeomes a ver.
unprofitable busines- to g-ow and
sell cotton, and this Missis! ppi mat
conceived the idea of trtirg monkeyi
as an economical nethod of picking
It seems that two years ago, 1896
daring a fair at Vicksturg, Miss
Prof. S. M. Fracey and Mr. Mangrum
the cotton planter, were watcing th
tricks done by some trained moeys
and this suggested w 'ro. Frace:
that the monkey..could,bo trained t
pick cotton,-and be thought that the,
could d> it "as well aq negroes, o
batter an .1 mora cheaply." Mr. Man
gram w.1. incredulous, but the mor
he thougnit over it itbe more favrorahli
he thought of the sugg3stion. Finall:
* he conclnded t>' make a trial of th
mon3key. an I in S3ptemnber, 1897
Maagruwn bought ten trained mn nkey
in New York city, and at the sam
time employsi their trainer. Th
n .nkay5, trie News an I f.ourier tetl
us, wero put 0-1 the farm about th
ddeof SeptemhPa. A s:nall bsa
w~~ral, and the a4onld(
~'tura ~ T e Southern Plan'grien
Journal says: N
"It wars surprising how rs>idly the
trainer taught the monkeys to pick :.he
cotton. Baskets to hold the cotton
were placed at the ends of the rows,
and one m-n, besides the trainer, was
necessary to take the cotton out of
the sacks and put it irk the baskets
The femtles proved much better
pickers than the males, for they not
only picked cleaner catton, but they
would also pick more of it in a day.
In less than a month after the monkeys
were stat ted at the work they c->ulo'
pick on an average of 150 pounds e
day. They picked ii we4ther in
Which negroes .v.juld m>t pick, and
f/ ked cleaner eitton. The cost of
'kigwas much less, ant.! ia every
way they made much better pickers
than the '.verage negro."
So muczh encouraged was Mr. MaNn
grmti by this firt test of the mornkey
as a good and cheap c"aton picker that
he determined to add to then force of
his new farm laborers, and accordingly
in June, 1898, he ordered :.00 mjonkeys
from.an exporter in Afr,, "with the
understandiDg that most , m w::re
to be females," presum .-i ;'e..: .ose
the females picked more c,tton and
picked cleaner. The new m'nkeys
were traied "by the middie of 0,:to
ber" and put to work. Tbe corros
pondenL.reporting the expetrimnent
writes:
"Iwj have w6tched this experiment
watched ariy new thing ia yers I
have kept in constant correspondence
with Mr. Mangrum about it and about
the middle of November I visited his
plantation snear Smedes :o see the
*monkeys at their work. I mu~st ad.
mit that it was a glorious sight to see,
and one that did my heart goo". The
rows were filled with maoukeys, each
one with jier little cotton sack iround
her neck, picking away quietly and
orderly, and without an:. rash or eon
fusion. When they got their seeks
full they would run to '.he end of the
row, where a man was stationed to
empty thern into the cotton ba.sket,
when the v would hurry back to their
work. Cuiev seemed actalily to en
16y picking. That night I stayed
with Mr. Mangrum and we had a long
-talk about the matter. I asked him
to givo me the plain facts about the
case so I could give them in the C&t
ton Planters' Journal to the cetton
growers of the South."
The News and Courier adds that
"for th... -.neAt of the sceptically dis
posed" it reminds them that "there is
nothing intrj,nsically improbable in
the aerious narrati''' that "monkeys,
1b is111l known, even the wildest
e, liabitually 'pick' cocoilnts,
bananas, and such smaller things as
peanuts, pennies and insects for their
own use, and it requires no great
$tretch of credulity, therefore, to be
y e that the more intelligent species
among them can be trained by experts,
merely to draw cotton from the open
cotton bolls." We arc not inclined to

WHAT TO DO.ta
There is a comfort in the knowledge prc
ooften expressed, that Dr. EKilmer's o
wamp-Root, the gr eat kidney remedy, ha
ufills every wish in curing rheuma- cos<
mur, pain in the back, kidneys, iiver' con
adder and every part of the urinary hoi
ssages. It corrects inability to hold M
ater and scalding pain in passing it,
rhad effects followin:g use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un
leasant necessity of being compelled
go often during the day, and to getci
many times during the night. Thecd
all
mild and the ext1-aordinary effect ef Er4
wamp-Root is soon realized. It stands bac
e highest for its wonderful cures ef b
