In the north the have race wars, in the south a small lynching'—MnconNews, The worse the temper, the les its owner tuiiuls losing it. Every year cottou farmers wor* ry themselves almost to death over the matter of seed selection, excess of moisture, drought, “fir ing,” army worms, rust, boll weevil and a dozen other ills to which the growing plant is sub ject. But when the staple has come to maturity and been har vested (in a more or less wasteful manner,) what do they do?" This is the question propounded and answered by the Savannah News. Beginning with the picking and running through to the final marketing there is a tiemendous amount of waste, roughly esti mated to amount to more than a million dollars oer crop, The "clean” picker is the exception rather than the rule. The aver age picker, hustling to get out the greatest number of pounds in the shortest space of time, leaves many ripe bolls unplncked to tako the weather and drops other open cotton upon the ground to be trampled and lost through careless handling. In ginning modern methods have made the losses inconsiderable, which is also true of baling. But after the fleece is baled then fol low the greatest and most inex disable losses of all. The baling is not carefully done, in such manner as to preserve the con tents of the package in the best possible condition. There is no 'standard or uniformity in size of proas boxes, no standard of den sity of compression and no stand ard rule for covering that will koep out moisture and dirt and prevent what may for conveu ionce he called leakage. Tho farmer will watch his grow ing crop as carefully as he would a sick child, and then, alter the cotton is ginned, permit it to he badly haled and rolled out into the open to take the sun and rain as they come. It is not an un common sight to see hundreds even thousands, of bales of cot ton “parked” in the open air at a shipping point, the bales ragged and unkempt, and without pro tection against water or fire, and the same sort of thing is true on a great many farms. The pro ducer scorns to labor under the impression that his duty to this crop end* when he has got it picked and haled. He will see the bales get soaked in a heavy rain without “turning a hair,” or he will see the bales get rolled through a mud-puddle without entering a Jprotest. But if he was to see a bug in his t growing crop he would have a nervous chill. Bad haling infiictB a tremend ous loss upon the cotton growers every year. It is unreasonable to suppose that spinners will pay as much for a bale that is ditty and wet and rotten on the out side as they will for a hale that is clean and dry. It is against the very common sense of things that, they should do so. ^Iudian cotton nearly always reaches the spinner in excellent condition, because great care is taken the haling of it and the bales are always kept in good order. When the Indian bale is broken open at the mill there are no 10, 20 and 80 pounds to be thrown out. as unfit for spinning as is very often the case with American bales. Ellicient packing of cotton, course, costs a little more than poor packing and tl ere is some expense attached to the erection of sheds. But these added costs are, in the long run, real econo mies. A DANOEROUS HABIT. The use of a common drinking cap upon public occasions is prop erly condemned by science. Un der an article headed “Death in Drinking Cups,” the Technical World says: “A cup which had been in use nine days in a school was a clear thin glass. It was broken into a number of pieces and properly stained for examination with a microscope magnifying 1,000 di ameters. The human cells scrap ed from the lips of the drinkers were so numerous on the ‘upper third of the glass that the head of a pin could not be placed any where without touching several of these bits of skin. The saliva, by running down on the inside of the glass, had carried cells and bacteria to the bottom. Here, however, they were less than one- third as abundant as at the brim. By counting the cells present on fifty different areas on the glass as seen under the microscope, it was estimated that the cup con tained over 20,000 human cells or hits of dead skin. As many as 150 germs were :een clinging to a single cell. Between the cells were thousands of germs left there by the smears of saliva deposited by the drinkers, Not less than a hundred thousand bacteria were present on every square inch of the glass.” A Traveling Man’s Experience. “ I must tell pou tny experience on tin Bust bound O.
