Few questions puzzle one more than an answer to the question whether it is easier to underdo or overdo a thing. When there is a bull boom in a great product the invariable rule is to overdo the thing before it ends, with no sort of searchlight doing the work that must ultimately be done by outright disaster and reduction to circumstances that applies the brakes with sufficient pressure to restore reason and normal speed, As it is in investing and specula¬ ting so it is in the cultivation of products that are the subjects of undue .inflation. The overdoing generally goes the rounds, and never stops until many concern¬ ed but their heads into the ground. The cotton planters of the South are confronted with the questions whether they will over¬ do production, for there is no danger of Undergoing it. Re¬ ports that large acreage is to be put in upland cotton points with certainty to a return of the star¬ vation prices for cotton, if not next season, then later, for with favorable weather it will be but a matter of time until the reaction comes. There is absolutely no assurance that if a big acreage is planted next season this will not be the case, while there is every assuiance that if the pace set in recent years of diversifying crops is followed prices will bo maintained and a good margin of profit left for all. Unless our Southern planters pursue wise policies about their acreage Europe may as well stop spending money in her endeavors to encourage the cultivation of cotton in her colonies, for it will be but a short time until the Uni ted States will have plenty of low priced cotton. Some statements require qualification, but the pre¬ diction that low prices for cotton and demoralization will follow if all planters plant it needs none. The press is sounding a note of warn. By diversified farming cotton has risen in price, and it is to be hoped that as soon as it is firmly intrenched that its protec¬ tion will not be taken away from it by the planters who are them¬ selves the beneficiaries. The rule to follow is this: Put a few acres in cotton and culti¬ vate that well. Give the balance of your lands to other crops. Don’t plant all cotton. state op Ohio, City of Toledo, \ K8 Lucas County. / - Frank J. Cheney 'makes oath that is senior partner of the firm of F.

OUR HOME IN 1864 By Warren P. Ward in Coffee County Gazette. A pine knot fire blazes on the hear tli. A widow puts her three orphan boys to bed. She is busy with her spinning wheel as roll after roll is drawn into finest thread. The night is cold. Above the whir of the wheel could be heard the moan of the cold wind on the outside. At last the broach is finished and sht?turns aside to make up the fire and see that the children are covered and warm. Two boys lie on a bed made down on the floor and they get attention first. She puts her busy hands on their heads and then cautiously feels of their feet Tu rning away from these, she goes to her own bed where the baby boy lies asleep snug and warm. When each child had received attention she goes back to the wheel to spin and to think. The wheel turns round and the cotton turns into finest thread. She stares vacant¬ ly at the lire and occasionally at her work. Just four years before, her husband went to the war and never came back. Great tear drops came to her eyes as she thought of him and kept watch over his boys. Her eyes grew dimmer and dimmer and the wheel turned slower and slower. Soon the wheel and the widow stood still. A tired hand hung heavy on the wheel and a great burden on the widow’s heart. Neither could move. The wind was still, the fire burned low and not a sound was heard. The widow prayed. The bur¬ den was lifted from her heart; strength came to her hand ; the wheel started, and music with with the wheel. Song after song she sang; and prayer after pray¬ er she said. Late at night mother and chil¬ dren were all asleep. But one little boy did not sleep till his mother lay down. He heard the busy wheel and cold winds out¬ side : saw his mother’s tears and heard his mother’s prayers. The tire—the wheel—the woman—the boy. As long as I live and win¬ ter winds blow will I remember the spinning wheel and my mother’s prayers in the long ago. WANTED.
