Sure War With Iloll Weevil.
The best way to circumvent the boll
weevil Is to raise more corn and hogs,
more alfalfu and mule colts, more hay
and calves, more oats and chickens,
more wheat and turkeys, and build
more factories. With full crops of all
these things, the boll weevil would
have little terror for Texas. Bonham

Brief notes nre given on the produc
tion of two feeding stuffs and feeding
experiments with cows are reported
by the Wisconsin station. The ration
used for comparison consisted of live
IKJiinds of hay, thirty-live to forty
pounds of silage, and nbout eight
pounds of a grnln mlxtiite consisting
of wheat bran, distillers' grains, nnd
cottonseed meal In the proportion of
2:2:1. Dried-beet pulp or molasses
beet pulp was substituted for tho
wheat bran In the ratio of 3:2 by
weight. Two tebts were made, the brat
Including fifteen cows und the second
six.
When wheat brnn wns replaced by
dried-beet pulp In the projsirtlon Indl
en ted there was no uppreclable differ
ence In the effect of the two rations.
Molases-Uet pulp substituted In the
same manner produced, however, nbout
12 per cent more milk nnd 8 per cent
more butter fat. lleet pulp showed a
tendency to decrease the fat content
of the milk. The results, therefore,
Indicate that when wheat bran Is val
ued at $18 a ton, dried-beet pulp Is not
worth over $12 nnd molasses-beet pulp
over $13 a ton.
AnplmrliiK l-'eiire I'oxt,
Here Is n handy way of nnehorlng
fence posts In draws or low places : In
stead of hnnglng u stone to tho post,
take a double wire and uo It In the
form of a truss, as Indicated In cut.
The plan Is so simple that little descrip
tion In necessary. If the cut Is vory
deep, ono can use a longer post, or
spike n 2x4 onto the iost, and so put
tho truss wire yet higher, and hence
that much more effective.
War Vonnit Treea Are Beat.
These are the advantages of planting
young trees: They can bo (mined to
the desired form better thnu older
trees, saya Farming. A 2 or 3-year-old
treo Is branched mid has had Its head
alrendy formed by tho nurseryman; n
yearling treo of tho apple, pear and
sweet cherry, Is. usually unbrnnched.
Sometimes tho nurseryman has headed
tho treo too high or has not been care
ful enough nbout starting out the scaf
fold limbs, nnd It Is dllllcult to cor
rect the form of the head after It has
been started, There Is an unmistak
able preference for low-headed trees,
due chlelly to the need of economy nnd
efficiency In spraying and harvesting.
The single disadvantage of low-heading
Is greater Inconvenlenco In tillage.
This Is much more than offset by the
advantages, In the Judgment of most
growers. Within ten years the helglU
recommended for heading npple trees'
In the Knst has been reduced nt least
two feet. The bearing of this on the
matter of yearling trees Is that the
grower can head a yearling treo where
he please.
Cavpea for Una;.
Those living where they can success,
fully grow the eovixn should utilize
this valuable crop as a cheap ration
for pigs. The pen Is rich In protein nnd
furnishes the needed growth, and does
nway with the necessity of nilllstuff,
Drill three or four pecks of seed per
acre tho latter part of May or the first
part of June, and glvo tho needed culti
vation till the vines cover tho ground
enough to check weed growth. Turn
the pigs Into tho field when the pods
liegln to ripen, and they will do the
harvesting. If the old hogs are pas
tured on pens, they need corn or some
other carbonaceous feed to glvo proper
balance, for they cannot utilize so much
protein as pigs. Try a patch of cow
pea pasture this year, and get your
hogs In fine ahapo for the corn when

Hard Montbeil lloraea,
Here Is something of practical value
to anyone driving u horse that pulli
on the bit : Fasten a small ring to each
side of the bridle and as near the
brow band as possible. Pass the lines
through tho bit rings nnd snap them
Into the rings nt the brow band. This,
with n common Jointed bit, will enable
a child to hold a puller or hard mouth
ed horse with ease under almost all
circumstances. It can bo used on a
fast horse In double team or on both,
as desired. It Is cheap and easily ap
