KING'S IMPROVED COTTON. This variety of cotton, which has gained such a wide reputation and which is being shipped so extensively throughout the South and more especially the boll-weevil stricken district, was grown and improved near Youngsville, Franklin county, N. C. So It has been that I have known and grown this cotton from its earliest history and my seed sold to the originator and shipped to planters throughout the cotton belt. I do not want to rob the originator of the honor of improving this cotton, but I conceived the idea soon after it was first introduced that unless some one continued to improve his cotton it would soon deteriorate by becoming mixed with other varieties but if improved in a few years the genuine King's Improved Cotton would command a much better price and at the same time the standard of the seed be maintained. This has come true, and here in this country, where the seed has been grown continuously for ten or fifteen years, the percentage of genuine seed is about 25 to 50 per cent, higher. In order to supply the demand of higher standard seed, I have neither spared trouble noi expense in growing and improving this cotton to the highest standard of perfection. It is my aim to furnish my customers with a grade of seed unsurpassed in quality and genuineness of variety anywhere. In purcha&ing your seed, it is very important that you deal with reliable parties, for it is often the case the planters are faked, and seedsmen are not over-zealous ia trying to get the best variety. I have given the growing and improving of this cotton much study and attention for the past ten years and have applied every means known. In order that you may know, and for the benefit of those who wish to keep their seed improved, how my seed are improved, I have printed a circular giving the information. Write me for one, also see my advertisement on another page. I. W. MITCHELL. Youngsville, N. C. FARM MACHINERY HONORS AT THE NORFOLK EXPOSITION.

1908.J THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. 73 high standard of manufacture is maintained. The awarding of these honors at Norfolk serves to impress upon us the fact that I. H. C. machines, of whatever character, are never secondary to anything of their type that is manufactured. The International Harvester Company also received a bronze medal for the general excellence of their exhibit. RAISING POULTRY AS A LINE. SIDE There is money in raising poultry for the market. As a side line, it fills in many unprofitable hours and pays handsome dividends the year round. You can start without a feather and select enough pullets from the first season's hatching to lay all the eggs you need for the next season, or you can market them as broilers at a good round price. The business of raising poultry is one that doesn't require a large amount of money to start. For a few dollars you can buy either the Wooden Hen or the Excelsior Inly cubator, and either one will s*"" more than pay for itself with the first hatch. There's no need to pay high prices for incubators that won't do as well. These incubators are made by Geo. H. Stahl, Quincy, Illinois, who is widely known as one of the largest and most successful manufacturers of hatchers and brooders in the country. Begin to-day by writing for a free copy of Stahl's catalogue. LOW WAGON WHEELS. The kind of low wagon wheels that have wide metal tires with a good groove in the tire, the whole wheel made of good steel are wheels that never lose their tires when they are needed; the spokes wear much longer being protected; there is less sliding, and the wide tires improve the roads and keep the surface of the field in good condition. The low wagon is the friend of the workman as well as the team. The farmer may buy a low Wagon complete or just low wheels if he will write for particulars, so as to have them fit any wagon exactly, to the Havana Metal Wheel Co., Box 46, Havana, 111.
