FARM NOTES.

Sow parsnips and satisfy in one end or
side of the garden, so that in the fall IT
will not interfere with plowing.
Ducks grow much faster than chick
ems and sell at better prices per pound.
Hence they are often found much more
profitable to raise than any other kind
Of poultry.
While the turkeys are young is the
time to keep them gentle. Then by
feeding regularly at stated time they
can easily be kept gentle, and in the
habit of coming home regularly.
A little green and well-kept lawn,
decked with beds of ANIMALS. will be
constant source of delight TO your
children and will well repay you for the
little money you spend upon them.
With all crops that must be cultivated
during growth, one of the best and most
economical implements to use is good
harrow, and in a majority Of cases 1t can
be used twice to a good advantage, kill
ing out the weeds and thoroughly aning
the soil.
J. J. Alexander, one of the successful
farmers OF Sycamore, informs us that
the wheat fields show a great many
dead or hare spots, caused probably by

AS the turnip is a biennial plant even
the young leaves furnish excellent
greens when the roots are planted early
in the spring and, If we'll blanched, an
acceptable salad. 1t is absolutely es-
sential, however, that the turnip itself
should be both well grown and well
cooked in order to be palatable.
One advantage with millet is that It
requires only a short time TO make a
good growth, while on good soil a
large yield can, with proper care, easily
be obtained. There are few crops that
can be depended upon to make up any
deficiency there may be in the hay crop
so readily as millct or Hungarian grass.
In growing turnips fresh seed should
be obtained OF the nest desirable varic-
ties, as there is a vast difference in
them. For garden culture three plant
ings may be made, the first as soon as
the ground is warm enough for the
seeds to germinato again at the end Of
the first pea crop and the last in July or
at some seasonable time in August.
With all classes of root crops have
deep rich soil stirred deep in plowing
and preparing for the seed. Then caro-
must be taken to work into a good tilth,
narrowing or raking il necessary. tsu-
ally these are grown in the gardens, but
they can be grown very readily in tho

be used 10 give the necessary cultiva-
ton. Il is better 10 use plenty Of seed
and thin out the plants after they come
UP than to be obliged to rcplanti in order

WAsHfNGroS, April 25.-The Federal
Election bill reported by Senator Hoar

trict not in such city, 100 or more
qualified voters shall petition the chief

STOCK ITEMS,

Breed for the top OF the market, and
one very important item in doing this
Is TO use nothing but the best OF sires.
Grass, the kitchen slops and skim
milk are necessary in keeping pigs for
profit Dry feeding under present con-
ditions rarely pays.
change or variety OF food Is very
necessary with the horses IN the spring.
II this is not given they will often lose
their appetite and fail in flesh.
II pays generally TO keep stock in
good marketable condition. Often fair
prices can be secured before they are
matured If they are in good condition.
Plenty Of good sound grain and hay
must be supplied now TO the work teams
II they are 10 bo kept from running
down, and as this Is the busy season
they must be kept in good condition
A practical Texas farmer says: "Five
tons Of alfalfa hay and fifty bushels Of
corn will fatten a hundred sheep as fat
as they need be. The expense need not
exceed fifty cents per head, while the
fattening will add dollar TO the car
cass
Study observation and experience
are three items that are necessary 10 in
sure success with breeding stock OF all
kinds and these can not be acquired in
day. Theoretical knowledge will not
answer in this case; the knowledge must
be OF practical nature.
To secure a steady growth during the
spring and summer with growing pigs
there are few things that are superior
to good clover pasture and feed night
and morning OF bran and sweet skim
milk. Pork made in this way Is not
only healthier but it costs loss than IL
corn is fed
For the work teams bran can nearly
always be made part OF the ration.
The most economical plan of feeding is
with ground or cut feed Ground oats
and corn, with bran, make not only a
cheap but a very wholesome ration for
the teams, and with hay will supply all
the elements Of nutrition in a good pro-
portion.
One OF the most important items in
securing a quick growth and an early
maturity with stock is good breed
This furnishes good foundation upon
which 10 build, and then II good feed
and care is given the three essentials of
success are provided, and failure to
give any one of these three will affect
the result to a more or less extent.
1t is always an item to secure as much
milk as possible from the COWS, whether
it is fed to.the calves made into butter
on the farm or sold and even with a
good supply of grass, bran can always
be fed night and morning to the cows
for this. AS a milk ration IL can be i'm
proved 10y adding a small quantity Of
corn and oil-meal. But very good re-
suits can be obtained by feeding bran
alone.

notes.

Hog cholera is reported prevailing to
an alarming extent in the vicinity Of
Colfax. Mclean Cocnty III, and swine
are dying in large numbers a peculiar
fact in this connection Is that where the
cholera is prevalent the farms are over
run with rats.
It is more the vigor than the size Of
the potato that is an aid IN determining
the size Of the product and yield Of the
crop But under average conditions
good medium-sized potatoes will give a
better crop than small ones.
Gather up the brush, weeds and trash
and burn them.
Neither the liquid or solid portions Of
the manure alone is complete fertiliz-
er: saved together and properly managed
they will furnish all the elements Of
plant food.
Many prefer to have their pigs come
in April because March is usually so
clustering
The main crop Of early Potatoes can be
planted whenever the condition Of the
soil will admit
Il is not what an animal eats, but
what il digests and assimilstes that is
Of benefit, hence it is 81 item 20 supply
in a manner as VIII aid best in securing
this.

A TEXAS DELuGE
Great Destruction at Dallas Result OF
the Recent Heavy Ralns.

the Recent Heavy Ralns.
DALLAS, Tex, April 2s For the past
week it has rained constantly through
out Western and Northwestern Texas
and Friday the Trinity river, which had
been swollen by the small streams and
bayous which drain the country, began
TO rise and Saturday 1t was within four
feet OF the high water mark. Tho
pump house at Turtle creek, from
which the city obtained it's water sup
ply. became submerged while the people
along the banks OF the river in West
Dallas were cut of from the high lands
and forced to take refuge on the house
tops and in the tree tops. They we're
rescued from their perilous quarters by
boatmen and the police.
One hundred houses in West Dallas
were submerged and at ten o'clock the
river had reached the high water mark
and was rising at the rate of seven inches
an hour.
On the Oak CliG side OF the river the
Inhabitants were driven from their
homes. They had removed their house
hold goods to high ground. Many Of
the outbulldlnEs were swept away ana
the gardens destroyed.
On the Dallas side Of the river great
damage has been inflicted upon prop
erty. Several large brickyards on the
banks and in the low lands are under
water. The great pressed brick com
pany's WORKS recently erected suffered
severely, the water being twenty feet
deep in their premises. The loss in the
brickyards alone will reach $50, 600 or
$4,000.
Reports from other points along the
river indicate that the inhabitants OF
the flooded districts suffered severely
Crops have been destroyed, houses swep
away and bridges and trestle work
knocked out but so far as known no
lives have been lost, although many
narrow escapes have been recorded.
