Horses Will Still be Needed.

eff any one is laboring under the
delusion that horses are going to be-
come curiosities when the trolley
railroad people have gridironed the
streets with electric wires, he will

Stable. He will catch the fact that
the horse is still appreciated as the
pet, companion and pride of man,
woman and child, even if he is to be
relieved of the heavy labor of pull
ing street cars. A similar change in
the condition of horses occurred
when railroads took the place of turn
pixies, and engines superseded
horses, but the census showed no
diminution but still an increase in
number of horses sold, raised and
owned. Rapid transit may be i'm

verized copperas to pint of salt is
sufficient. Horses suffering from
worms can be cured in time by feed
ing a tablespoonful of powdered
gentian every night for two or three
weeks. 1t can be mixed with oats
or turned down the throat from a
bottle. Copperas and gentian is an
excellent tonic. Breeders will do
well to keep small quantity on
hand. Get the druggist to put four
ounces each, compounding it in his
mortar 80 as to mix it thoroughly.
Put the powder in a small box or
wide.mouthed glass jar, label it, and
when needed give to grown horses

A Remedy for Cut Worm.

Cut worms are the caterpillars of
night-fying moths. Most of them
are very injurious to young and ten
der plants, such as cabbage, tomato,
pepper, corn, beans, etc. They only
work at night and during the day
remain hidden just under the sur
face of the ground in the i'm
mediate vicinity of their food plants
or pastures. Many of the species
climb trees and often become very
destructive to the expanding buds
and young foliage. The moths of
the species that infest our gardens
usually lay their eggs near the roots
of perennial plants, such as rhubarh,
hollyhock, etc., and in the vicinity
of such plants We may confidently
expect to find plenty of young cut
worms in spring. Zone Of the
Eastern ways to get rid of the pest"
says correspondent in Popular
Gardening, ''is to scatter pieces of
green stuff, cabbage leaves or sods
with fresh grass, etc., that have been
sprinkled with Paris green water
here and there over the area that we
wish to clear of cut worms. Hand
picking is / more laborious remedy.
but it can be made effective. Plow
the field few weeks before the in
tended crop is to be planted and SOW
some beans over the piece. After
the beans are up, the patch should
be gone over early every morning,
and the cut worms hunted up near
the freshly cut plants and destroy
cd. II this is done for week or so,
there will be few worms left to
trouble the crop to be planted after

Sweet Potatoes.

At a recent meeting of the North
Louisiana Agricultural Association,
Mr.. J. w. Bolton made the follow
ing interesting and practical talk on
the cultivation of sweet potatoes:
"I cultivate my potatoes. Before
I plant / plow my land twice,
breaking broadcast first and bedding;
second throw two burrows with
turnplow back, set out slips on list,
and when beginning to grow burst
out middles with a solid sweep and
hoe, if necessary, and let go. It
does not pay to cultivate potatoes
after the vines grow. I bed pota-
toes during the middle of April, set
out slips middle of May, and after
that I plant vines of cuttings on un-
til the last of July. The vines
make better potatoes than slips. I
save my potatoes in cellar provid-
ed under my house. I never lose
any by rot. Everything that
breathes the breath of life on my
place eats, relishes and thrives on
sweet potatoes. From an acre I
generally raise 100 to 800 bushels.
/ sold potatoes this winter in Monroe
at 81 per bushel, besides fattening
my hogs. They are meat, bread,
milk and butter" He showed how
ten times as much per acre could be
made raising sweet potatoes as the
Kansas farmer did raising corn.
He spoke against the excessive rails
ing of cotton, and pleaded for diver
sity of crops.

To Prevent Colts from Worms.

Many valuable colts are lost
every year for the want of a little
care. Hundreds die from lack of
condition. AS a rule, if colts are
fed literally and kept growing con-
stantly from birth, there is not
much danger to be feared from
worms. Yet it is always best to be
on the safe side and use all harmless
means to prevent every form of
sickness and suffering. Some Ken
lucky breeders practice mixing a
little pulverized copperas with salt
and placing it in boxes where the
colts can help themselves as they
like. Two tablespoonfuls of pull

Cotton Seed for Hogs.

Farm the article on feeding cotton
seed to hogs; l was somewhat sur
prised at the article.
speak now what / do know:
Cotton seed WILL, and WILL NOT,
kill hogs. That depends. Well,
let me tell you my own experience.
My father-a farmer-came to Tex
as from Georgia in the spring of
1860. We stopped in old Harrison
county. There I saw for the first
time in my life hogs feeding-yes,
gorging to the full on cotton seed.
l noted, too, they did not die, nor
did they get sick, but got very fat.
Their plan was this: To deposit
their cotton seed in open pens beside
the gin houses in the fall, while
ginning. Those seed remained in
those open pens exposed to the rains
all winter. Those seed were, of
course, HET and half decomposed by
February and March. The hogs
were then turned into the gin lots,
when gaps were cut in the sides of
the seed pens, where the hogs were
allowed to feed at will, which fat
tened them about as fast as corn.
Well, so much, SO far. I began to
think. l reasoned that if the heated
and rotted seed would not kill hogs,
the sound seed ought not; besides,
they were needed early in the fall
for fattening hogs, if at all. now
had my clew to the secret of cotton
seed killing hogs. So the next fall

load of cotton seed hauled and
dumped into that pond. The next
day, and after the seed was thor
oughly saturated, | turned our fat
tenihg hogs into the lot and allowed
them to feed on those wet seed about
half an hour. I turned them out
and watched them. The day fol-

WORLDS FAIR MATTERS,
WALTER S. MAXWELL KNOCKED
OUT AT CHICAGO.
Gen. Chipman's Name Substituted by the
Director-General and Duly Confirmed.
Other Appointments Acted Upon.

CHICAGO, June 12.-The worlds fair
directory this evening took action on
two of the most talked-of nominations
made by Director General Davis.
MAXWELL KNOCKED OUT.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the accusations against w. S. Max
well, who was nominated for chief OF
the bureau of horticulture, reported
that there was no proof to sustain the
charges against his character. When
the nomination was put to a vote, how
ever, Maxwell was defeated, 25 to 8.
GENERAL CHAPMAN CHOSEN.
Director-General Davis thereupon sub
stituted the name of General N. P. Chip
man, of California, and he was at once
confirmed by the directory. The board
OF control must now pass upon Chip
man, and there is some talk that the
feeling over the defeat of Maxwell may
lead to Chipman's rejection by the
board.
M. E. STONE wITHDRAwS.
The vote on the confirmation of M. E..
Stone of Chicago. as chief of the depart
ment OF foreign affairs, resulted in tie,
and further consideration of his name
was postponed until next meeting. Mr..
Stone, however, hearing that fight had
been made on his conf rmation, prompt
,ly withdrew his name.
THE COLORADO MAN CONFIRMED.
The directory unanimously confirmed
the nomination of Skiff as chief of the
mining bureau.
DIPLOMATS IN CHICAGO.
The members of the diplomatic corps
who left Washington yesterday for the
purpose of gathering information in
reference to the worlds fair arrived
here this morning.
A POST-FACTo SUGGESTION.
SAN Francisco, June 12.-The follow
ing telegram was sent this afternoon to
Director-General Davis of the worlds
faii commission, Chicago, by the Cali
fornia State Floral society:
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the movement now on foot to separate
the wine, brandy and horticultural in
dustries at the worlds fair into two de-
partments instead of one."
The effect of this suggestion, if
adopted, would be to do away with all
previous nominations for the position of
horticultural commissioner, and allow
the whole matter to be reconsidered
from the beginning.

lature adjourned tonight sine die, having

conference, by referring to the prince
OF. Wales in connection with the
baccarat scandal, which he de-
nounced in most vigorous manner.
He said in part: ''England's widowed
queen, England's noble, seIf-sacrificing
queen, mourns as a mother today over
the ghastly spectre of George w. ris-
ing up beneath the shadow of the great
throne, and the heir of the
proudest empire this world ever
witnessed bowling to the degrada-
tion of the gambling house. The
awful spectacle of the heir to the throne
publicly acknowledging completely in a
gambling transaction, will do more to
weaken the power of the throne than
anything which happened for years."

similar vein, and both speakers were
