Cotton Prospocti*
The world's visible snpply of cotton
is 1,100,000 halos, or 25 per cont. loss
than it was last year. This ought to
mean that if tho crop uext fall is
1,100,000 bales larger than last year’s
crop, prices will be maintained. Giv¬
ing the south its percentage, thin
would indicato that a crop of 8,000,-
000 bales next fall would bn worth as
much per potud as tho 7,000,000 bale
crop of last year.
It is not at all probable, however, halos
that with a crop of 8,000,000
cotton would command ns good a price
ns it brought Inst year. Tho prices ot
agricultural products arc steadily going
downward. There ore n few excep¬
tional years, but as a rule a little must
be taken from the price of one year in
estimating prices that under similar
crop conditions will prevail tho next.
In the south the cotton shortage was
due partly to a decreased acreage, and
pnrtly to tho unfavorable conditions
for growth. The southern farmers will
make a great mistako if they increase
their cotton acreage. For au average
year the ncrengo last year would have
produced 8,000,000 hales. An incrcnso
of acreage this year would make a crop
of 0,000,000 or 10,000,000 halos not
improbable, and that would mean ouly
four or five cents a pound for cotton.
If the yield of this year’s crop is no
larger than that of last, good prioes
will prevail—as good as laat year’s
prices, if not better. The smaller vis¬
ible supply at time of planting ought
to give us better prices with a crop of
the anno volume. A larger inorenso,
however, will again muko the cotton
crop n loss. — Exchange.

For Uniform Cotton Hales.
At a meeting of representatives of
South Atlantio oottou exchanges in

uniform baling was acted upon. Reso¬

First--That producers, giunors and
packers use bagging weighing not less
than 2 nor more than 2 1-4 pounds to
tho yard, the bagging to be woven and
callendered to allow for clear nud dis-

Third—Farmers and mannfaotnreri
urged to oonform to these reeommenda-

Fourth—That compressed bale have
ship’s side density of 22 j pounds cubic

of 2 1-8 pounds per band.
Fifth—That sample hole patch be

miNRioucr of Agricnlluro Nosbitt has
entered upon tho eolloction of objocta
to bo placed npon display at the

w.ll canso every county in Georgia to
Gogm work for tho Chicago show.
Commissioner Nesliitt will announce
the vice presidents of the company,
which, according to a resolution pass-
ed before the convention,ho has power
to do. A vice president will bo ap-
pointed for every congressional dis-
trict in the stato. These officers will
have general supervision of tho collec¬
tion of exhibits from the territory over
which they preside. 'Tiny will look
to tho organizationr of tho counties
and soo that each one will scud on rep¬
resentative display.
Commissioner Nesbitt lias a big task
before him. Ho has assumed charge,
however, and will iu every way pro¬
mote tho interests of tho state agricul¬
turally and otherwise in tho collection
of the exhibit.
The work of getting funds in hand
for tho purpose of '•arrying forward
the enterprise will begin immediately.
Every county in the stato will be re¬
quested to appropriate $100, and every
town with more than 1,000 inhabitants
will be asked to contribute tho same
amount to tho representation of the
state at Chicago. From all of the
larger cities big appropriations will
come, and with these amounts a suffi¬
cient sum will bo realized to carry out
the ) urposes of tho exposition.
An interesting question will arise
over tho attempt to take the Georgia
state exhibit which was on display at
the Cotton States and International
exposition to tho Chicago fair. At a
recent session of tho geological board
the question was raised as to whether
it would bo well to take the Georgia
state exhibit on. It was discussed for
some time and finally decided that “it
would not bo advisable to let tho ex¬
hibit go on.
Since tho convention, however, a
reversal of opinion Las taken place,
nu ,] it j N probable thnt tbo decision of
the board will be reconsidered. This
display in itself will bo a foaturo if
sent on to Chicago. It won tho plaudits
of the most scientific experts at tho
Cotton States and International expo-
sition. 1’rofessor Yeatcs is now con-
structiiig a stato museum and using
this exhibit as a nucleus,
Tt is tho purpose of those who are in
cluirgo of collecting tho exhibit for
Chicago to secure this state exhibit.
This will probabiy bo dono in a few
days.

How to feed tho little chicks is
something that is rather hard to tell,
ns there are so many different rules
followed out by well known and sue-
ceisful poultrymen.
Borne, as a first feed, givo a hard
boiled egg crumbled up, and alter ono
or two days to this is added corn meal,
nutil at the end of tho first week the
chicks find themselves depending en¬
tirely upon fho corn meal for exist¬
ence.
Others vary from this in feeding al¬
most everything that tho littlo ones
can be mado to eat, as this furnishes a
variety, and to this variety of food
they attribute their suooess.
For the post few years wo have had
what might be called remarkably good
success, as wo have lest but a very
slight percentage of our chicks from
J 3 or poor feeding. Our plan is
a very simplo ono and quite easy to
carry out. As soon as the chicks break
fholr way through tho shell we remove
them to a basket that is filled with
flannel and kept at au agreeablo tem-
porature by being set behind the kit¬
chen stove. When we are suro that all
the fertile eggs havo hatched wo bnrn
both the nest and shells, and put tho
old hen oat in tho chicken 'yard for a
fow minutes for dusting and recrea¬
tion. Tho hen and ohioks aro then
placed in a small house, away from
our matured poultry, and aro thon
given all the woter and common oat-
moel whioh they care to have. This is
all that is given thorn, and improbablo lost
as it may seem, we havo never a
chick from bowel disease.
This mnunor of feeding might not
suit some, but wo can hardly go bade
on our past oxperionco and do not hes-
ituto iu recommending it.—New York

TENDENCY TO COSTLY IMPROVEMENTS.
A noteworthy instanco of the tend¬
ency of farmers to costly improve¬
ments and machinery for the purposo
of saving time that is mostly very
cheap to them is the suggestion to in¬
troduce tho quick-harnessiug engine stables arrange¬ in
ments used in fire
cities, so that fifteen minutes might
bo saved in tho harnessing of the farm
team. Tho ingenious iunovator on
old habits might justly have added to
this suggestion that in goiDg to the
fields the farm team should gallop at
its swiftest pace, ns the fire laddies
train thoir horses to do, to savo au-
other fifteen minutes. It is a slow
person who must take fifteen minutes
to harness a farm team, if tho harness
is conveniently hung ou pegs wasted so that in j
nil this time need not be
disentangling tho traces anil tho lines | i
all tangled because the harness was
simply ■ , thrown , on the , floor in o mixed .
heap to save tho time expended in
hanging it in a proper manuer.
We have too many time savers now

“ I always enjoyed good health un¬

ached all the time. My physicians
said I would he all right after the birth
of the child, hut I was not, although
at that time I had the best of care.
The pains in my back were almost un¬
bearable, I had leucorrhoea in its
worst form; menstruations were pain¬
ful.
“Any work or care Would entirely
unnerve me. When my babe was 11
months old, friends persuaded me to
take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. Before I had taken one
bottle I felt the effects. My back did
not ache so badly, and I felt stronger.
After taking four bottles I felt well.
My ambition returned, menstruations
were painless, leucorrhoea entirely
cured, and-1 could take care of my
babe and do my housework. 1 shall
always recommend your Vegetable
Compound for all women, especially
for young mothers.”— Mrs. H. L.

the birth of her child, subsequent
suffering would have been avoided.
