PLANT YOUR LAND IN OATS.
You often hear it spoken of a man who has been success
ful thal he was working while other men idled away their
time. It is frequently said ot a farmer who has been blessed
with prosperity, that hardly before his cotton crop had been
gathered, that he was busy planting oats, winter grain, etc.,
several weeks before his neighbors had dreamed of planting
theirs. .
Now don’t forget that the prospects for high priced oats
and grain next spring are extremely likely and that if you
let the time pass by while you are rejoicing in the unexpect
ed high price of cotton this fall, and failing to plant a good
crop of grain you will pay for your negligence when you are
forced to pay high prices next spring. Oats aod grain will be
high next spring, so plant early and a large crop. Be inde
pendent ot the high market and begin to raise at home.
LESSEN YOUR COTTON ACREAGE.
Cotton has been bringing a pretty good price this fall
and no doubt will go to fifteen cents before December first.
Now there has been a good many farmers who have gotten
good profit out of their cotton crop this yeat, and the <i op
has been fairly good.
The reason for the high price of cotton this year has been
the almost failure of the crop in Texas and Oklahoma. If
these western states had made a bumper crop, the price
would lytve been a good deal lower, and Georgia farmers
would have been sufferers. But fortune has favored us with
a fairly good year, turning what was apparently a bad year
into a good one.
Asa general rule, whenever we have a good year and
the prices are good, the fanners make the mistake ot planting
too much cotton the next year. The prices tumble and no
money is made. Farmers, do not go wild o\ci cotton, even
if we get fifteen cents or better, for just as certain as past
experiences have shown us, we will have a low price tor cot
ton nevt year. Texas and the west will raise more cotton
and we will not benefit again from a drought there. Prepare
to raise your hogs, beef cattle and plant grain enough to feed
vour stock. Everything raised at home saves money and
makes you independent of foreign prices.
OIL UPON THE WATERS.
The enormous value ol oil in smoothing the sea so that
people could be taken from the Vulturno in a gale is one of
die inventions or discoveries which the world lias made and
then forgotten and re-discovered, iaking its text from the
recent mid-ocean disaster, the Philadelphia Record says:
‘ Renjamin Franklin was keenly interested in the narrative
given him by a seafaring man regarding the use of oil to pre
vent breakers. lie found that Pliny or srme other of the
old Roman writers knew of instances of the sort. One might
have expected seafaring men and marine underwriters to see
at once the importance of this tact, but they did nothing of
the sort; and a century and more went by without any further
attention to it. Thirty-five or forty years ago a sea captain
used oil with excellent reeults, told his story, and it was
noticed by our Hydrographic Bureau, which circulated the
information, invited reports from ship masters and made
some experiments. Since then oil has been used a good
many times. And yet it is tar from being in so general use
as one might expect. —Albany Herald.

THE ASS BRAYING AT THE MOON.
A farmer once had an old ass that kept his family gteat
ly disturbed at nights by his constant braying. It finally
•rot to he such a nuisance that he went out to investigate the
cause. There he (the ass) stood head reared toward the moon
braying with all his might.
Finally the farmer called in neighbors to find out then
opinion of the ass, and an old farmer well known tor his good
common sense, quietly remarked: . , .
“Nabor, let the durn fool alone—he 11 bray Ins tool head,
oft*directly.” . . „ .
Moral: The idea of the poord t Hobson
making himself such an ass in accusing Oscar Uuderwood of
being a tool of the whiskey ring, etc. Mr, Underwood, like
the moon, should cast his beams upon him in sileut contempt,
and the “durn tool” ass will kill himself soon enough.—

If you do not sow a winter grain

Atlanta, Ga. Representative
Grover Edmondson, of Brooks
county, the youngest member of the
legislature, has come forth in a
statement valiantly attacking the
opposition to cheaper school books
in Georgia.
“This opposition,” Mr. Edmond
son says, ‘ eminates from a source
not altogether satisfactory to the
people of Georgia, and if the people
become convinced that the known
opposition of the school book trust
to cheaper books is dictating the
attitude of certain of the state’s
officials; they will baud them adose
of severe political ostracism.
“It is right that such officials
should be rebuked and such mer
cenary motives be repudiated by
the people of the state. The des

tasting vegetable liqnid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and re
lieves constipation and biliousness
so promptly that, it has become a de

starting on a trip without a bottle of
it.
