A common way of feeding dray

made out of good

of the ducking. A leuther strap Is
riveted Into one side of the mouth of
the sack, and a buckle Is riveted on
the other, so that the whole may be
ntriiped on to the home's bead, as
shown. In order to feed a home miist
be unchecked, arid he soon learns to
place the sack on the ground, where he
can push his now? to the bottom of it to
clean out the last of the food.
For the farmer who takes a day to
go to town these sacks will Iks found
very handy, as a horse can be fed with
them without any waste of grain pro
viding he is unchecked. A little cau
tion should be used in placing the sack
on a horse not ai'uxtorned to It, as It
may cause him to Jerk back. How

Far Laaar Stock
Dip or wa.h the animals with a 1 01
2 per cent water solntlon of a tar dis
infectant, such as kreso. A convenient
way to apply the remedy In the larger
animals Is with a spray pump, and in
sheep or hogs by dipping. Whatever
method Is used, the coat and skin must
be thoroughly wet with the solution.
After treating the herd, the stables,
sheds or sleeping quarters should be
f prayed with about a 2 per cent water
solution of the disinfectant, or white
wash may be used Instead. This Is
necessary In order to prevent reinfect
ing the herd from the surroundings.
If there Is much Utter around the yards
It Is advisable to move the herd to
other coral. Tar disinfectants in 1
or 2 jkt cent solutions do not destroy
the eggs or nits, hence it is necessary
to treat the animal again in ten days
or two weeks. Stockmen sometime
ask if the feeding of sulphur to lousy
atroy the lice. The feeding of small
doses of sulphur will do no barm, nor
will It help In getting rid of the lice,
and It cannot be considered a remedy
for this class of disorders when used
In this way. Sulphur is effective, how
ever, when used externally, and the
addition of four ounces to every gallon
of tar disinfectant solution used great
ly Increases the effectiveness of the
remedy. Field and Farm.
Foxtail and ricwrrd.
Both these weeds are annuals; that
Is, they grow from seeds each year or
season and the plants die after ripen
ing seeds. The way to keep tbera down
Is to prevent the plants from ripening
seed and making sure that are no seeds
In the grain sown upon the farm. Fox
tall Is troublesome, because It springs
up In cultivated fields after the crops
are laid by, and then it comes np In
stubble and in meadows and pastures.
Late cultivation of corn fields, and
mowing the stubble, meadows and pas
tures to keep seeds from forming, is
the way to attack this weed. Judging
from the way these weeds spring up,
whenever conditions are favorable,
there must be great stores of them In
cultivated fields showing the seeds are
long-lived. Pigweed quickly springs ud
In corn or potato fields, after culti
vation has ceased. These seeds ripen
from August 13 to November 1. so It
will take vigorous measures to get rid
of them. In fact, the only way to get
ria or these weeds Is to cut them down
before seeds mature. If a crop of
them is left to mature In corn fields,
and then the seeds plowed under the
coming season, you have stored away
enough seeds to bother yon for the
next ten years.

Texas farmers are getting 90 cents 1

The acreage In peanuts for another

Langley expressed the opinion that sud
den changes in the Intensity of the
solar radiation were respoasible for re
markably cold summers or warm win
ters. During the recent International
Congress on Solar Research held at
Meudon, near Paris, Monsieur Deslan
dres called attention to a new method
of research bearing upon this question.
Remarking that hitherto It has been
found exceedingly difficult to determine
the variations In the sun's radiation by
comparing Its amount at different times
from the whole solar disk, be showed
that better estimates might be made by
measuring and comparing the radiation
from separate parts of the sun. In this
way, he thought, the amount of the to
tal variation might be ascertained more
accurately.

"One of the most vital results of the
presence of women In business," says
Anna Steese Richardson In the Wom
an's Home Companion, "is the tenden
cy of the average girl of natural refine
ment and good home training to hard
en and coarsen under the Influences on
store or office life than to raise the tont
of her environment by ,her own gentle
breeding.
"I lielleve there are women who exert
a good Influence In the offices and stores
where they work, but they are the ex
ception, not the rule. They hnve such
nobility of character, such rare natures,
that they would be a power for good
anywhere, under any conditions. But,
alas, the average woman wage earner
has only the average moral and mental
nature, and she can no more be a power
for good In business than In the home.
On the other hand, I firmly believe that
the presence in business of thousands
of silly. Inexperienced, unbalanced girls
Is lowering the standard of inanli'xsl
and womanhood all over the laud. Bar
rier after barrier Is going down before
the familiarity of business life, and al
ready many of tho Inrge coriHiratlons,
like the life Insurance companies, have
found It necessary to segregate the men
and women during the working hours,
to supply them with separate offices,
separate lunch rooms, separate eleva
tor. Does this look ns If the refining,
elevating Influence of women had stood
the test of a generation of freedom and
equality In the wage-earning field?"
