I T;ilk iiDoui UK' ;utvali- e iiKm-unure has made In tire past comparatively" - few years; it is .simply amazing. What Ihe future holds in store for Jhe farmer only the future will ahow^ r ? inrt we feel satisfied that development ftlon^ economic line* u-ni 1m gni>o as rapid* as In the past few years, and the next fifty years win see a ntSfrvej ous lm|ito'vem?nt. Agriculture has ? beeu a little tlov, but it is going now, f and has been for a few years, and It will soon be among the most ad vanced sciences. U io plain that it Is rapidly becoming one of- the 'ftiost desirable occupations for man. The farmer now rides where he formerly walked. He accomplishes things in a-day that formerly occupied him a week. We' do not think he will farm more land, but he will farm it quick er and better, and have much more ? leisure. He will be able to do things so rapidly that he will be able in most rases to select the most favor able time^ for doing them. This will mean better farming and larger yield and a higher quality of -product. It is ' a faul that horuM sent many ?? farmer into bankruptcy. We have seen many a farmer ohWged to feed twenty to thirty horses, and oatn&ny as twenty men for a week to get his wheat ami oats threshed. They con-" sunied nearly the value of his small grain crop That is ?-nde4. Ho had ten or more men in his harvest-field, and demanded big wages and the Wry best his larder afforded. Th#t is ended. He trudged thousands of miles every year plowing, harrow ing and cultivating his land,_l_Jtle. does not need to jituv. Many a far - tner has said itiat the hardest Work he did was growing and harvesting food for his horses. , There will be an end- to that in the near future. He will have. less to support and can de vote more land to growing crops he can market. Judging from the great improvement in agricultural methods of^jthe past few yean* there is a gr^ar figure in stor- f..r f?rm-..r H.. will no knitter .he.a ilojIhQDDfiL or. A. bumpkin, but one, of the foremost among men. lie will right the many" wrongs that have been heaped upon him by traders arid politicians and grent combinations of capital, and will do it in a way. that, will work no hardship m? trrgttimatp business. ? Hf will be conservative but he wTll take" what is rightfully coming to him. and make others be satisfied with a fair profit on actual values. He i>s already shaking off the political shackles that have hound him lo parting that have exploited him for all he was worth, and whun hf finally stops forth a free roan h> will be & giant The farmer has everything, that Is heat for him. and irt due timu he will take the posi tion ho id entitled to. and honor it. FIKTKK.V CKNl'l COTTON. ?* " The present, indications are that If the cotton farmers let well enough alontr, fifteen cent rotton Is well with in sight. Not so very long ago the Idea of thirteen rent cotton wan hoot ed at. but that level was reached the other day. and cotton is now headed for' fourteen cents. Incidental to the rising movement, however, thec#? comes announcement to 'rtie effect that certain State governors are ad vising their cotton growing constitu ents to "hold cotton for fifteen cents." That such advlfce Is unsound is the tfflsertion of a JrTfcli authority on cot ton ? The Cotton journal, whith points out the disastrous effects of similar advice and efrorts a few years J. ago , "Tk* Ufaitttw for ness ^irorld two* yean mo found touch palRn Inaugurated; the night ftder [posted farms, barns .and cotton ~gtire; md threatened the lives of men who foiled to loqk at matters in a pleasing 1 way a (id the spirit o( unrest -prevail- 1 *d, not ^?ty in one. but In praqtlcally These conditions are not compatl -bte~wtth "good business. and~to~hare * reign of terror in any Community directly traceable to the edicts of wey-known governors, woiljd bring -?bout conditions moist etnbarrasssing to the governors, casing so much harm through their mistaken Ideas of how to - transact business.

The Citizen is not long on cotton lore, but it believes there is sound wisdom in the foregoing advice.

For several years It has been recognized that sulphur fumes would kill Insects. During the past fifteen months the writer has made many experiments to see if this knowledge could not be it ade use of Jn killing grain pesrs. The results proved conclusively that.
