any other part of the body. When
once stuck fast-and they commence
business very early in. life they stay
there until pulled off, or, until they get
their growth (about half as large as
dog fieas). Then they drop off and
burrow in the sand or dust to deposit
their eggs. When hennery is once
seeded down with feas, you cannot
raise chickens, as they will put out the
eyes, get into the cars, and kill little
chicks. They have killed kittens and
puppies that were not looked after
properly.
Their habitat is Florida and Central
America. and were not known here in
Southwest Texas, until railroad con-

The Farmer as a Mechanic.

Every we'll regulated farm ought to
have a supply of tools and place in
which to use them. They are useful
dnring the growing season, saving
many q trip to town when the farmer
is SO busy that he cannot well spare
the time, and they are equally useful
during the winter, when any farmer
having only a moderate mechanical
turn can make for himself at small
cost very large number of useful ar
ticles that will facilitate his work, and
that would be quite expensive If he
was obliged to buy them. He can east
ly make his own gates, hay racks, feed
and water troughs, wagon beds, feed
ing hangers, breeding boxes, tanks,
stone boat, stock racks, chicken coops,
shipping crates and many other Con-
veniences, besides keeping purchased
tools and implements and fences and
buildings in good repair. The farmer
who buys everything of this kind is
very likely to feel good deal of anx-
iety aud lose sleep when pay day
comes, unless he is well-to-do beyond
the average. With tools, he can sur
round himself with many conveuiences
that he would in most cases have to do
without. Tools on the place and a
workshop to use them in are also a
very great advantage where there are
DO on the farm. 1t not only interests
them in their work, but deyelopes the
constructive faculty to very useful

Speaking of improving the quality of

pertinent Station, says: 81 have tested
several feeds for the purpose. and
among them sorghum, which first
grew in 1852. Sorghum will produce
as much grain as a good corn crop, and
rs better adapted to hot and dry eli
mate than corn. Many experiments
have been conducted to determine what
the effect of sorghum is upon the ami
NAL. Notwithstanding that many

Said to be a Valuable Paint
and Cheap.

A method of painting farm buildings
and country houses, while by no means
new, is yet so little known and SO de-
serving of wider application as to war
rant description, says an exchange.
The paint has but two parts, both
cheap material, being water lime or n.y.
draulic cement and skim milk.
The cement is placed in bucket,
and the skim milk, sweet. is gradually
added, stirring constantly until just
about the consistency of good cream.
The stirring must be thoroughly done
to have al overflow, and If too thin the
mixtcre will run on the building ana
look strraked. The proportions can
not be exactly stated, but a gallon of
milk requires full quart of cement
and sometimes little more. This is
a convenient quantity to mix at time
for one persen to ase. II too much is
prepared, the cement will settle and
harden before all is used,
A fiat paint brush about three inch
es wide is the best implement TO use
with this mixture Lay 1t on exactly
as with oil paint. 1t can be applied to
wood work, old or new, and to brick or
stone When dry, the color is a light,
creamy brown, or what some would
call yellowish stone cnlor. This
skim milk cement paint. well mixed,
without adding color, has good body,
gives smooth. satisfactory finish on
either wood or stone. and wears admir-
ably. You can do this warm days in
winter. and Il viii add 100 per cent in
appearance to your buildings -Soufh-

Farm Notes.

We have been feeding 20 head of hogs
now for some time on corn cut in full
roas,ing-ear, which they eat stalk, ear,
shuek. cob and ali. This certainly
utilities the whole plant when if left un
til fall, only tn. grain would be eaten.
AS it takes u given amount OF food to
produce given quantity of meat, it IS
certainly reasonable aud eco envy to
use the food stuff at time when 1t
will furnish the greatest supply OF ma
terra. and profit.
We shall plant this week, the ground
from which we have cut corn, in corn
again preferably a northern variety
for feeding green again late in the fall.
We will break the ground broadcast,
harrow, open in checks and plant with
out ridging up, cultivate fiat with har-
rows. and when laid by, SOW barley
and barrow in, not later than Sept. LIST
for winter grazing after the corn is re-
moved. We plant fiat in checks SO as

Don't fail to plant sweet potatoe

Don't forget to pillow and fertilize the
turnip patch, and plant main crop last

If YOU want fall Irish potatoes. pillow
and thoroughly prepare the ground
now and plant the little potatoes whole
SO they will have plenty OF time to
sprout and come up during the rainy
summer season, before the fall drouth
sets in.
If you want good meat at profitable
