THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THURSDAY, DEC. 4. 1913.
First Show of Season
To be Here Saturday.
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.

HOW FARMER CAN GET GREATEST
RETURNS FROM COTTON SEED
Andrew M. Soule, President S tate College of Agriculture.
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-

From 20 to SO cants per square foot

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

A hot bed or "frame” is 6 by 12

covered with glass. The hot bed should

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

couple of buckets of boiling water, |
putting more manure on top of the
wet manure. Fermentation will be

with a fork thoroughly. In a week or

mentation, but prevents the plant
food from all becoming available at
once, thus affording the crop time to
take it up and utilize it as it grows.
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.
Prune Scuppernongs Before Christmas
Scuppernongs should be pruned be
fore Chr.stmas. Grapes should be
pruned before Christmas, but they
may be pruned after.

15c Cotton
There are many lies being told to bluff the farmer
out of his cotton and keep him from filling his contract
with this Corporation. This Corporation is for the pur
pose of getting for the farmer the worth of his cotton.
Who else is doing this? Don’t go for advice to men who
are fattening on you—use your own brains and get out of
bondage. We shall Get 15c Per Pound For Every Bale
Os Cotton Delivered To Us, and next year we shall be
in business to get it again for those who are with us this
year.
