Should Cotton Be Plowed in
August?
It is the almost prevailing- idea
among farmers that cotton should
be plowed until picking time.
Now, I submit some thoughts for
farmers to consider and experi-
ment on. I think it is alright to
plow your cotton in July, but in
most cases by August the root-
letts have extended to the middle
of the rows from each side, and
unless the weed is over grown bj^
August it is a bad idea to plow it,
unless there is an abundance of
rain, or your cotton is foul. My
experience is that if you plow
your cotton in August that all
squares will fall off; this is be-
cause you have broken the root-
letts, and unless you have plenty
of rain, you have injured your
cotton. If the cotton is going to
stalk, then the plowing is what is
needed to stop the growth of the
stalk and cause it to put on fruit.
If it is not convenient to plow
when the stalk is over grown,
then in any way you can afflict the
stalk you can stop the growth.
Tapping will answer the purpose.
Some farmers may use their
heads as a hat rack, when it
should be used as a thinking ap-
paratus.
Yours for brain power in farming

Beyond Expression
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence,
Ala., writes: "For nearly seven
years I was afflicted writh a form
of skin disease which caused an
almost unbearable itching. I
could neither work, rest or sleep
in peace. Nothing gave me per-
manent relief until I tried Hunt's
Cure. One application relieved
me; one box cured me, and
though a year has passed, I have
stayed cured. I am grateful be-
yond expression."
Hunt's Cure is a guaranteed
remedy for all itching diseases of
the skin. Price 50c.

Letter to Henry Metcalf.
Aspermont, Texas.
Dear Sir: What will it cost to
sow ten acres half wheat and half
daisy mixed? and what'll the crop
be worth?
We don't know what daisy-seed
costs, nor how bulky it is; we sus-
pect half wheat and half daisy
would make a big crop of daisies,
and last a long time; the wheat
might be short.
The parable throws some light
on the cost of a paint half white-
wash. Whitewash, mixed half-
and-half with paint, is all-paint in
I look and feel; indeed nine-tenths
I of the "paint" in the stores is
part whitewash: some half, some
more, some less.
Paint has to be spread with the
brush, the surface prepared, the
ladders, scaffolds pulleys and
ropes arranged and moved,
there's a great deal of labor in
putting paint on; it costs $2 to $4
a gallon to do it.
What does it cost to paint
whitewash? Just the same. It
doesn't seem worth while, for
the whitewash does harm, not
good.
Will the paint hold the white-
wash fast? or the whitewash loos-
en the paint?
Better paint pure paint, the
least-gallons paint, the least-
money paint, Devoe.
Yours truly,
31 F. W. Devoe & Co.

Bell Boy Capitalist.
Chicago has a "bell boy" capi-
talist.
His name is Frank Lawler. and
he "hops" bells at the Stratford
hotel. He has £20.000 in bank
and three tine fiat buildings. His
fortune is founded on "tips."
That he was a magnate became
known recently, whenhe schedul-
ed S30,000 worth of property to
endorse a friend's bond.
He has three rules of conduct
to which he attributes his success.
These are:
Be on the job.
Make friends.
Save money.
"I have saved money and made
good investments," said the
wealthy bell boy. "My original
capital was derived from tips of
guests. I have made it a point to
attend to my own business and to
avoid things that did not concern
me. Any one in America can
become rich by the exercise of a
little thrift.
"I have remembered the wants
of the guests in the hotels where
i I work, and the guests, in tui
remembered me.1 Tha^ is
secret of it all. I save. Audi wit
what I have saved I have ms
more. My original capital
derived from the liberality
guests, which allowed me to re-
ceive my monthly salary intact.
"If a man will think of his em-
ployers, those whom his business
causes him to come in cont
with and himself, at all times,
will progress." ,
Many employes in the
class hotels double their
salary through courteous at
tion to the wants of the guests.
"Boys in the big houses,1
Manager Tyrrell, of the Sti
ford, "are pretty sure to
up on their income if they pa;
strict attention to their
and they do, I believe. It
not surprise me to hear that
of our men is accounted well off."
