Practical Trial.

All of these different forms of
fertilizing agents are being used on
crops by the Experiment Station
to test their value. These have
been applied to crops Of cotton,
corn, wheat, oats and garden crops.
The soil at the college is unlike
that of many soils in the state,
and we are trying these manures
ats Mckinney for the blacklands
and at Wichita Falls for the Pan
handle upon different crops. With
these manures, cotton seed and the
effects of restorative crops upon
land are being given a trial. Re-
ports of this work will be ready for
free distribution during the coming

How to Kill Red Ants.

The red ant which occurs in gar
dens, orchards and fields, destroy
ing all small vegetables for sever
al yards around a colony is very
annoying. Stock do not care to
Craze close to colony. Their sting
is almost as severe as that of
bee. Children are frequently stung
by them when a colony occurs
near the dwelling house. For
sometime we have been expert
menting with different things to
find a cheap and effective remedy.
We have tried London Purple,
Paris Green, Persian Insect pow
der, Kerosene emulsion, Carbon
Bisulphide, and preparation sold
under the name of Ant killer.
None did much good except
the Carbon Bisulphide. The
best way we have found to apply
it is to pour two or three spoonfuls
into the colony early in the morn
ing while the ants are nearly all in
and wait a minute or two for the
fumes to get down into the ground
thoroughly, then stick lighted
match to the colony and the fumes
will burn with a very hot invisible
flame, killing all the ants and their
eggs. II the wind is blowing the
deadly fumes will kill the grass or
wheat for several yards. Fire
should be kept safe distance
away from a vessel containing the
material as it readily takes fire and
explodes. When treated as above
directed it is seldom necessary to
repeat the application.

This force, however, representing the

Contract Let.

The owners of the Whitaker Iron
Works have let the contract for re-
building the plant recently destroyed
by fire, and it is understood that the
mill will be completed and ready Tor
operation within sixty or ninety days.
The officials of the mill appear determ-

to prevent the REGISTER from
learning anything regarding their
plans. A reporter for this paper heard
q rumor on Wednesday that the contract
had been let, and called the Office Of
plant by phone, preisrring to receive
official information rather than TO pub
lish a street rumor. He inquired II the
report was true. "Wait till see Mr..
Whitaker" was the reply. Then fol-
