— We see from the Anon dots in
your paper that Arthur Cheney has a
hen that lays two eggs a day aud a
slice of meat to fry them with. Now
if he can find one that will furnish the

cotton will not affect him much. Per¬
haps the days of miracles are returniug.

ton now at plauting time is very dan
erous to the farming public. We have
already beard of a few who are enlarg¬
ing their cotton crop. A full crop this
year and a short com crop simply
means starvation to many. Think se¬
riously, brother farmers, and every
time you think take from your cotton
crop and add to your bread crops.

the Ladies Garden Club of that city on
