The greatest present drawback to
the sheep on the farm is the NANCY

Tests have shown that common
field peas are an excellent egg pro-

that bee keeping would be a nice avo-

profitable enough. One of the largest

The question often arises: What can
a farmer afford to pay for farm: All
over the southwest, for forty years or
mere it, has been estimated that land
for staple crops is really worth as
much as the crop for one year will
sell Cor. Half bale of cotton is
about the average yield where average
cultivation is given. This, at 6H cents
and seed at IS per tom, is worth $1?.6cs
at 8 cents, the value would DE 81. For
ty bushels of corn at 35 cents would
bring Sa4. BY feeding the corn to
hogs, on other stock, it can be made TO
fetch sl7.50 at least. Similar estimates
may be made for other staple crops.
Under this rule there are millions Of
acres of land in Texas and the south
west the crops from which will easily
sell for money enough to pay for it in
one year. With reasonably good man
agement, the profits should pay for the
land in two years. With a judicions
diversificaticn, one may do much bet
ter than this. Admitting that UNI
favorable seasons may cause the land
to produce less than the above esti-
mate, we fail to see any justification
that any man of family, or expecting
to have a faulty, can plead for not
owning a home.-Farm and Ranch.

and II rome people will only stop win

ON the squares which they can easily
gather at very small cost, we'll all be
happy this fall in the possession Of
profitable cotton crop. Last week while
in Fort Pend county, l saw one plant
er give his forman IL negroes for the
I urpcse of picking up the squares from
his cotton. They began at "A. IN. and
finished at $50 p. m. His estimate was
that about ninety acres had been
cleared at a cost not to exceed S.
less than ten cents an acre.
Right here l wish to suggest that
farmers and merchanics set them
selves the task of devising an appara-
tus which will gather up these squares
from the ground by suction process. I
sent out a circular some time ago on
the pan and shaking process and urged
that apparatus be designed which
would shake the cotton and catch the
wee,ils as they dropped AS result,
some fifteen or twenty designs were
submitted to me. l have suggested
many changes and returned them
COPY. These machines are now being
perfected and in few days l will
make an official test of several of the
designs and hope that they will meet
our expectations. l have encouraged
every one as much as possible to test
and experiment, and in response to
their inquiries have added suggestions
and further co-operated with them in
every way possible. Let's hear from
others
