Last year's cotton crop in the
South was the first ever moved with
Southern capital. Thedevelopment
of cotton, iron and steel, and other
manufacturing industries throughout
the Southern Suites, due principally
to the protectivetarift, sound finance,
and the opening of new markets, has
led to a corresponding increase in
bulking facilities, so that Southern
batiks have been able to supply all
the money needed to handle the crop.
And now, how will the South regis

USES FOR LEMONS.
A teuspoonful of the juice in a cup
of black coffee will almost certainly I
relieve a bilious headache.
Lemon juice (outward application)
will allay the irritation caused by the 1
biles of gnats or flies.
A das.li of lemon juice in plain water
is an excellent tooth wash. It not only
removes turtnr, but sweetens the I
breath.
Lemon peel (and also orange) should I
all be saved and dried. They are a cap
Ital BUbstitUtt for kindling wood. A
handful will revive a dying (ire.
The juice of a li-nron in hot water, on
wakening in the morning, is an ex
cellent liver corrective, nut for stout
'women Is better than any nntifut medi
cine ever invented.
Glycerin nnd lemon juice, half and
half, on a bit of absorbent cotton, is
the best thing in the world wherewith
lo moisten the lips and tongue of a
fever-parched patient.
The finest of manicure acid is made
by putting n teaspoonful of lemon juice
in a cupful of warm water. This re
moves most stains from the fingers and
nails and loosens the cuticle more sat
isfactorily than can be done by the use
of a sharp instrument.
Lemon juice nnd salt will remove rust
stains from linen withrjut injury to the
fabric. Wet the stain with the mix
ture and put the article in the .sun.
Two or three applications may be nec
essary if the stain is of long standing.
but the remedy never falls.

The most out-of-date almanac is that

the "largest circulation" goes to that

it may sound, it is nevertheless a fact
that the land of the C.reat White Tsnr
still cherishes a calendar which is 12
days ahead of everybody else, say the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
It is true that our own calendar was
11 days out until 1751. Then our Eng

educated. The public state of mind at
that time may best be realized from
the fact that it held riotous mas meet

with bands nnd banner, from the lat
ter of which blazed forth it grievance:
"Give u onr 11 days!" Indeed, it waa
not until several head had been broken

those which still remained Intact cooled
sufficiently to appreciate the fact that
the change waa Inevitable, and not
merely the outcome of a government

In a paper on "Recent Ethnograph

British association, Mr. Gray described
his observation on the color of the
hair and eye of the schoolchildren of
East Aberdeenshire. The pigmenta
tion of the Scotch children wa shown
in a table and comparer! with the con
tinental districts, whence, according
to tradition and history, the lowland
Scots derived a large element of their
population viz.: Schleswig-Holstein.

and Saxons. The tables showed that
the three north German districts were
more blonde than East Aberdeenshire.
Germany got more brunette nnd less
blonde from north to sou t U and we
must go as far as upper Bavaria to get
a district approximating in pigmenta
tion to East Aberdeenshire.

COLOR VERSUS QUALITY.
Why th Iter Mere lieaatr
Shoald B a Secondary Coaslder
allon to Brr-Keepere,
There bat been auile a race for it-llow
bee, and breeder in this country have
ome uau trait, enner in temper,
warming propensity or a lack of hardi
ness for w intering. Let the matter of
color be only a secondary consideration.
Put first, ability to get money; second,
wintering qualities; third, disinclina
tion to swurm; temper nest, and color
last of all. But other things being
equal, I should very much prefer gentle
bees if at the same time they can have
the other three desirable qualities. Col
or really amounts to nothing.
"Of color or markings it may be said
that, of whatever blood the queen may
be, she must be pure, whether Carni
olan, black or Italian. A hybrid queen

"Hybrids are apt to be more or leas

that the cross or "snappy" kind are the
ones that produce results in honey. Did
you ever notice that it is often the
"snappy"kind of people who can get out

not, perhaps, the most popular among
their fellows?"
EGGS FOR HATCHING.
How to Keep Them So That the Corns
la Not Killed and (he Egg Tha
Mad l aele.a.
A to keeping egg for hatching, the
incubator people remind us that the
yolk is specifically lighter than the al
bumen, and i buoyed up by it, and the
germ, which always lies at the top,
only kept from pressing against the
shell by the weight of the denser al
bumen forming the chalaza, this hav
ing a tendency to drag the yolk down
and steady it. If the eggs are kept at
too high a temperature, the albumen
will get somewhat fluid and the yolks
will be pressed upward against the
shell, and, if allowed to remain go,
will become fixed to it. Any length of
time and temperature that would x-
awit Th tHiopViittl '
and thus rendered the egg useless. The
more handling the egg has the quicker
this derangement will be effected.
Place eggs for hatching in a basket or
box with regard to position, cover
with a cloth to prevent undue evapora
tion by direct exposure to the air, and
leave them undisturbed until wanted.
They will be better than if handled
and turned. Any cloth will give suf
ficient ventilation to keep the air
around the eggs sweet if the apart
ment is pure Plowboy nnd Country
