Gfneral Hints on Farming.
In planting cotton be careful to
get good seed. There are
many good varieties, but the seed
should be large, clean, uniform and
by all means it is important to
know where they are grown. It
would be much better to have but
one variety, and if possible a whole
neighborhood would do better by j
raising the same variety of cotton
By this method in the course of
time better prices for cotton can
be obtained on account of the
uniformity. If the farmers of any
given community would confine
themselves to one variety for a few
years and learn to grade and class
ify their own cotton they would
soon learn that they would be able
to sell their cotton at a better price
and perhaps be able to sell direct
to the New England mills. /
In planting the cotton be careful
to make the rows far enough apart.
The distance between rows and
also the plants should be guaged
by the character of the soil. There
is no fixed rule of distance. The
plants should be far enough apart
so the limbs will not lap nor touch
when full grown. By knowing
your soil you can very will deter
mine this question. Few farmers
give distance enough between
plants, but those who do and culti-1
vate them will make more cotton
and be able to handle it better at
picking time. Cotton is a sun plant
and needs lots of sunshine, warmth
and sunshine. Remember this.
Be sure and plant enough corn |
If you make more than you need !
you will find a use for it. Also
look after the hay crop, and do not
neglect to put in plenty of pota
toes. Provide sufficient pastures
for the hogs and milch cows, it
will pay well in the long run. If
you will put your run down land in
pasture and put the hogs and cows
on it. it will build up and be good
land again.
Bees are a good thing to have on ,
the farm and every farmer should
have a few colonies of them. A
good colony of good bees will yield
an average of 100 pounds of hon
ey. It is worth fifteen cents a
pound on the table or in the local
market. The bees are not much
trouble to handle if you know how. i
and you can learn how for the ask
ing. The women and children can
look after them and' it is a good (
thing for the children to learn. In j
all nature there is nothing more
interesting than the bee.

Both Houses of the genera! as
sembly have passed an important
bill to require the plain labeling of
all foods put up in packages, so j
that purchasers may not omy know
what they are getting but how
much th^re is of L. Tne net
weight or measure of the article
will have to be conspiciously dis
played on the outside of the pack
age. It was found that in package
good there are often only 12 onces '
to the pound, as in Troy weight.!
and it is believed that when the
people realize just how little they
are getting it will tend to bring
prices down.

Some Hotel.
Thirteen and one-half millions
I seems quite a pile to invest in a
. hotel but Ne w York's newest hu
man hostelry cost that. It was
built to accomodate business men
more than any other class and
room rent ranges from $1.50 to
$5 per day, while "eats" cost
whatever the guest makes it. The
building is twenty five stories high
and extends sixty feet below the
pavement. It employs fifteen hun
dred people to look arter the com
fort of the guests in 2500 rooms,
practically all of which have an
outside exposure. One floe* is de
voted exclusively to women and
another floor exclusively to men
and no individual dare sihoV his
presence on her floor or vice versa.
The men's fl>or is the twentieth,
where their cheering cannot at
tract attention and cause a conges
tion on the street. Each of the
floors is provided with a restaurant
It is always night on the sixteenth
floor which is devoted to those who
are employed at night and must'
sleep during the diy. Eight ball1
rooms are the features of this won
derful new tavern.

Colorado? "Pikes Peak.” nine
teen persons out of twenty- will]
answer, and incorrectly. The
twentieth may know that the two
! highest mountains in the state are
Mount Massive and Mount Elbert,
both in Lake county: in the Lead
villa district.' The altitude of each !
of these mountains, according to1
the United States Geological Sur- 1
vey. is 14.402 feet above sea level.
The height of Pik^s Peak is 14.- ;
108 feet. Moreover, there are,
fifty or sixty other in Co'o-i
rado approximately as high ov»n
14.000 feet. The lowest pointin’
Golorado is 3.350 feet above sea
level. Ora!! the states Colorado j
has the highest average altitude ;
estimated by the Geological Sur
vey at 6.800 feet.
Although not the highest moun
tain. Pik^s Peak is probably the
best known peak in the Unite.;
States. There was at one time <
weather bureau stition on its run. I
mit. and it now has a substantial
railway station at the term nus of

It can also be reached by an ex
