Stallings, manager of the New York American base ball club arrived at Haddock recently with his family and some friends from New York. They drove immediately to his plantation about four miles'from Haddock, where Mr Stallings rnd his wife will spend most of the winter. Ho has an ideal farm, on which he has spent n great deal of money, stocking, and beautifying the entire place. While wintering here, lie will nave from time to time friends to visit him from the north and east, and lie says he will likely I ring his team down for an outing and practice. Stallings says, from a business point of view, tlie base ball season this year has proven a complete success. He also says lie haa a fine young coming ua n, and they are already picked us the probable pennant winners next season. Col. J. .1. Hastings, of At lanta, is out on a visit to Mr. George T. Stullings, at (he "Meaaows,” near Haddock.

McCrnrv, Nenrstate Farm Considerable interest has been aroused in this vicinity through the announced appearance of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and Pawnee Bill’s fat East ut Macon Thursday Oct. 21. Col. Wm, F. Codv. the original and only "Buffalo Bill,” travels with the. big exhibition and positively appears at every perf irrnanco, rain or shine. Arragements have been made with the railroad officials to run excursions at special rates from the various stations along the line and there will be special j provisions for the accommodation of those who wish to visit the exhibition. To the small boy and grown up Buffalo Bill will be the chief attraction, for his fame is not dimmed bv the years which have elapsed since he helped write the story of the west through his heroic deeds. One of the principal contests of the redmen, in which he took active part, will be pictured in the open-air melodrama. The Battle of Summit Spring, ail engagement in miniature introducing more than one hundred Indians and as many cavalry men and soldiers. Of that which stands far joy, uplitt, and light. No weakling's discontent was hers, in sooth, Unrest divine goaded toward heaven he looks. She thirsty deep for progtesbeauty, truth, For freedom, friendship, knowledge, travel, books. But her starved days seemel fixed in barren mold, So in despair she dumbly crushed desire, Until she felt all forceless, numb and cold, Insensible to former craving fire. One day, as in a last expirin' flame, Her spirit blazed in anguished, sharp command. “O God!” she cried, "I call once more Thy name, I want my own, demand it at Thy hand! "Long have I prayed and plrad for soul delight, No longer do I beg c.n bended Knee!

The process of reasoning which In leading so many thousand south ern runners to reduce the bugging ami lies on thylr cotton below the average (i per cent allowance Is hard to follow. Manufacturers and exporters in buying rotton figure on fi per cent for tare. This amounts to 30 pounds on a 500-pound hate, or ;c pounds on a 450-pound bale. When tile bagging and ties amount 'o leas than this, the farmer is simpljf cheating himself. The progressive Farmer In pointing out tho unreasonableness of farmers following this course, says; "Again we would urge our cotton grow.-.s to put on barging and ties to the full 0 tier 4j.it limit UiIh season. If you put on less than t; per cent, It Is stmplSa mailer of giving the cotton buyer good cotton worth 12 1-2 cents a^livund, when he Is paying you only for bagging and tics averaging about 3 1-2 cents a pound. This is a matter our farm, era have been entirely too slow to understand.” For years there has been complaint of insufficient covering on cot ton. To remedy this defect, exporters have adopted the plan of adding second-hand bagging to the amount of 8 or 10 pounds anil pocketing the extra profit. The f irmer lias put In that mu h weight In lint cotton worth 12 1-2 cents a pound. The exporter adds extra bagging ami ties worth 3 1-2 cent a a pound, and makes $l a bale. The Progressive Union hns male a valuable point which should not bo lost sight of. It will not take a very sharp pencil to figure out that •!7d pounds of cotton and 30 pound i of bagging will bring higher returns than 48) pounds of lint cotton an t 20 pounds of bagging.

The difficult, costly and complicated processes ot tho for mer, which can only be successfully followed by the trained have no connection with the simple methods of may be followed hy an intelligent farmer. Even seed selec- don may be made too complicated for the average farmer; but it is our purpose to outline a simple ni'thoil of cotton seed selection which may be followed by every farmer with profits far greater than those usually received for Ills labor. Believing that seed selection to be effective requires more knowledge, and the expenditure of more time than they felt inclined to give to it, many farmers have concluded that it is better to buy their seeds than to select them on their own farms. We believe this an error. The knowl edge necessary to make belter se lections than are made by the ma jority of those selling seed, is easy to acquire and the time consumed in the work will be well paid for by increased yields. When a farmer will not acquire the necessary knowledge and spend the time required to se lect his own seeds with Intelligent care, then we advise that he pur- chas * seed from some reliable neigh bor or seedsman, who will furnish him with better seeds than are usu ally planted when no selection Is made. The nature of the corn plant, es pecially the number of grains on one ear. has naturally led to more care in selecting this seed, because of the ease with which it can be done, and tne selection of seed corn has there fore received, and is now receiving, considerable attention; but little In- IV1II1S, telligent selection of other seeds has been practiced throughout the South. Two methods of starting the sys tematic and continued selection of seed advised may be followed. The farmer may continue the use of the , best variety on his own farm, or in SCA ' nu i';’l bis neighborhood; or he may continue the best yielding and best boll ,» ... jj : y-t-t .!

The former method has the! advantage of thorough acclimation | and the probable adaptation of plants to soil and other local con ditions, but has the probable disad vantage of less carefully selected seed in the past, and inferior yield ing qualities. In either case careful seed selection in the future will be necessary to maintain and Improve the qualities of the variety started with. Time is valuable and there fore no one should fail to profit by the work that has already been done in the improvement of our cotton by seed selection. It will be a waste of time to start with an inferior va riety and consume years of effort to bring it up to a point of excellence already possessed by some of our best varieties. CHICKEN FOOD.
