That the boll weevil Is not to be driven out of our Southern cotton fields by the use of parts greet. Is the conclusion of the Ilureau of Entomol ogy of the Department of Agriculture after extensive observations and ex periments. This conclusion Is based uiwn the following facts: "1. Persist ent use of parts green from the Urns of chopping until picking (In some cases as many as fifteen applications) has failed to materially reduce tbe numbers of the weevils or to Increase the yield. 2. Careful examination of very many experiments with the poi son made by planters in Texas has failed to reveal conclusive Instances of Ita successful use. 3. Reasons for the Impossibility of poisoning weevils successfully are to be found In the facta that only a very small percent age emerge from hibernation before the squares are net upon the plants. that they do not drink the dew on the leaves at night, and that as soon as squares are set all feeding la done within tbe shelter of the bracts (shuck) beyond the reach of any poi son that might be applied." all these systems was $93,1120,432. Tbi average cost of construction per a cm In the arid region was $9.14, and the average per Irrigation systom was $2, 710. The report says that tho great obstacle to the development of irriga tion In Texas and New Mexico Is the present treaty between Mexico and tills country, which prohllbu tbe lm pounding of the waters of tbe Itlo Grande. Ownrt. Want Mora Monej-. A farm exchange says: It Is reported that In some sections where there are many hogs their own era are positively refusing to take lesi than 4 cents a pound for them on the farm, and buyers are finding them selves "up against a hard proposition," ns they put It, for the packers' prlco will not allow the farm price de manded. Ilut It looks as If tho farm ers are standing pat. Judging by the recelpU of hogs at the big markets. For Instance: For the week closing with the writing of this the recelpU nt Chicago alone were (J2,000 head, against 08.000 bead the previous week, and 02,000 "head the corresponding ,wek last year. It will not be neces sary to keep up such light receipt more than a week or two to bring the packers to terms. And at this season that much more feeding can doubtiesi lie done without Io to the feeders. At all events, with feeding stuffs at tbelr present price, hogs cannot and should not be sold at leu than 4 cents. If cost of production la considered a factor In tbe business. Ilandllcta; tbe Apple Crop. If apples are picked too early they are apt to lose their firmness and color; and If too late, the keeping; quality Is greatly affected. The proper rime to pick is when the color Is brightest and while the fruit is yet hard. I)o not let the apples stand out after picking, any longer than Is abso lutely necessary, especially if they are to go to thecold storage. Tbe Investi gations of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture show that the keeping qualities of apples depend ns much on the handling before being stored as on the conditions after stor age. If you want your fruit to reach the fancy markets, the straight and narrow way of delivering the best in the best condition Is the only way to realize that aim. Careful picking nt the light time, careful sorting and packing and careful delivery are es sential steps In catering to the fancy apple trade. IJandy Farm Cart. I hare found that a cart with two wheels made as shown in the Illustra- Place for the Sheep. A place for the sheep should be found In the plans of nearly every farmer. A small flock of sheep can be kept on nearly every farm, while a large flock would prove hard toman- age and care for. When the flock Is small it may be sheltered every night. and thus losses frVim dogs avoided, as the night Is the time the tbeep-kllllug dog selects for his expeditions. The Increased value of sheep should con vlnce all that there is money in rata ing them. We may expect to see mul titudes of farms that are now sbeep- Iesa soon sustaining fair-sized flocks. In tbe general pasture there is feed that will be eaten by no animal, If not the sheep. Breeders of rams and even fit for foundation stock are now ex periencing a season of prosperity due to the increasing number ot farmers that have concluded to keep a few sheep and are looking for material with which to begin.

A great maay people believe that the' only way to break a colt is to throw him, hobble blm or tangle him I th straps or ropes. An Indiana horse man tells how he prepares a colt for his first visit to the blacksmith's shop by putting a strap around his neck, passing It along the near side and be tween the hind legs, then up and through tbe strap around the neck and hack to bis bind leg. Tha idea is to hold on to this strap while you lift the colt's leg, and if he kicks or strug gles pull on the strap until be falls down. This Is an excellent way ot frightening a colt half to death, and rendering him vicious. Every colt ought to be handled In such a way until, by the time be is a year old, bti foot can be picked up easily and with out the aid of straps or ropes. The best appliances for breaking colts art tho naked hands and a good halter. Checking Root Ooll.
