The big Sautelle shows, com bined with Lowande & Robbins’ which will exhibit in Mt. Vernon Saturday, Dec. 6th, has four dis tinct and important departments, including the circus and wild west. Chiefest of these is the circus, dating back to the days of Nero. He inducted bareback riding—though it is probable that they used pads in those days. He was the father of chariot races, using Christians as human tor ches at times. With this show are several of the most skilled, graceful and daring bareback riders of this or any other age, including Oscar Lowande. This intrepid artist is the very Centaur of riders, and his feats on bridleless horses are the acme of daring and reckless ness. The exhibitions, afternoon and night, will be held just above the Mt. Vernon depot, Saturday. Mt. Vernon Lodge Odd Fellows Elect Officers. At their regular meeting on Monday night, Mt. Vernon Lodge, I. 0. O. F., elected their officers for the year.

In the handling and management of cotton seed the farmer should natural ly be actuated only by selfish motives. In other words, he should utilize them so as to secure for himself the largest possiblo return in a financial way. It has been shown that a ton of average moal, say containing 6.18 per cent, ol nitrogen. Is more effective for fertil izing value It contains In the form of yard manure. Dy feeding the meal, he can in crease the number of live stock kept on his farm and thus add to his sup ply of yard manure. When doing this he Is Increasing the vegetable content of his soil, an essential and all-im portant matter. Finally, he Is adding a part of the fertilizer to his soil in a form which not only promotes fer- HOT BEDS PROFITABLE. T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti culture. From 20 to SO cants per square foot con be made from hot beds and cold frames during a year. A hot bed ro tation may be operated as follows: Make the hot bed January 1 and grow toniutooa. egg plants, pepper or other plant*. Remove these and bed to sweet potatoes In April. After the potato plants have been removed, raise radishes. Follow radishes with cab bage plants, reset cabbage plants to rows In held for planting at pleasure Follow the cabbage with lettuce, \ which can be removed by Christmas.

The hot bed should face southward and be located on a well drained spot Dig a hole 12 to 18 inches, put in the bottom of It bricks, chunks of wood or other ina- i terlal that will insure drainage. Use horse manure as much of the same ago as possible. Cow manure will not do. The manure should be free of straw. File up manure under shel ter, and If It is dry, throw on It a couple of buckets of boiling water, | putting more manure on top of the wet manure. Fermentation will be gin in 3 or 4 days. Mix manure then with a fork thoroughly. In a week or ten days It should be very hot with temperature around 200. Fut four Inches of the hot manure tn bottom of the hot bed and pack down. Continue to put on s milar lay ers, packing each down until there are about 12 inches of manure.

There is often an undue amount of suspicion in the minds of many per sons with reference to a discussion of a subject of this nature. Sometimes the farmer thinks that he is not get ting a fair return for his seed, and that by keeping them at home he can utilize them to better advantage. All the investigations of capable and inde pendent scientific men, however, are opposed to this idea. Unless the farmer is called on to sell his seed at a price clearly below ! their market value for manufacturing I purposes, it is to his interest In 99 | cases out of 100 to do so. mains well defined and the manure appears soggy, it is too wet. If, on the other hand, it is so springy that the im pression of the foot at once disappears, it is too light and has too much litter in it. If it is exactly right there will be a springiness, but the Impres sion of the foot step will remain. On top of the manure bed put 4 to ! 6 inches of good garden loam. Place a thermometer in the soil, reaching down and touching the manure bed. 1 When the thermometer show's a con- j stant temperature of 90 to 95 degrees i sow the seed of warmth-lov.ng plants, such as tomatoes. When watering the bed, put on enough to thoroughly moisten the soil, but not to saturate it and thus de- | stroy the strength of manure. The bed need not be watered every day, but only when the soil has dried out. Water the bed in time for the foliage to dry off before night. Damp foliage at night favors disease. The air should be changed every day. even on coldest days there should be at least a slight opening, taking care always to make the opening aw’ay from the w’ind, so that cold air will not be forced in. As time for planting in the field draws near, the plants must be har dened off, and on warm nights the cover may be left off and if days are favorable the same can be done two or three weeks before planting. It is always better to transplant twice. The first time about two inch es apart when true leaves begin to form and about four inches apart the second time when they can be put in “flats,” that is, large flat boxes, in which they can be carried to the field and planted with the so l of the ' flat” j still around them.
