We have often urged on our readers
various lines Of their work. That
many of them have followed this sug-
gestion we have not the slightest
doubt. Some of them have been test
ing varieties of fruits and vegetables
for several successive years Others
have only recently begun such expert
ments. And many who have not chosen
these specialties have been testing diff
ferent kinds of fertlizing material,
different breeds of live stock, various
methods of feeding, or have been
working eXperimentally in some of the
other divisions or subdivisions of farm
business Efforts of this kind, whether
Immediately successful or not, are al
ways useful to the man by whom they
are made. To the young farmer they
are especially valuable. This not only
on account of what is learned directly
from their results, but also because
the tendency Of such work is to make
the worker more thoughtful and care
fui than he otherwise would be.
We eel impelled to give this note
Of encouragement, because in some
sections of considerable area the sea-
son that is now nearing its close has
been very unfavorable for crops, and
consequently the results of many of
the tests made in these localities will
be Of no positive value, though indi-
rectly they may have some significance.
Such is the case with some of the eX-
| periinents undertaken by tie writer of
this paragraph. Though disappointing
the failures of this kind should not
lead 20 encouragement. There are
other seasons coming, and it is prob
able that more satisfactory results
may then be obtained. 1t is certain
that the persistent and faithful inves-
tigator viii not wholly fail of his re-
ward for the time spent.-Practical
Farmer.

on opposite side to wire on first post;
fasten these wires to the post at or
near the ground. Now place Il rail be-
tween wires and post, drawing wire
up tightly over rail and staplng just
above rail with long staple. doing
same at both ends; put Oh another
rail as before, and continue till top Of
posts is reached, which completes the
first panel. The other panels are made
in the same way, taking care not to
have both ends Of panel on same side
of posts, but run alternately as started.
The illustration shows the way rails
are stapled to posts and the manner
of running panels. AS the rails when
put on pests in this way do not touch
each other they will last longer than
when put OH in any other way, and
like this method of making use of old
rails very well, for by setting posts
and using q little wire Il coed fence
can he made from very poor one.
Build six to eight rails high. should
a post rot OFF any time set another
near it and fasten rails as before.-J.

Early I:conomizine with Feed.

Early in the fall it becomes neces-
Sary to take stock of the food for the
cattle, dairy cows, swine or sheep.
No man can go ahead and feed reck-
lessly even thus early in the season.
| we'll remember one farmer who fed
literally and recklessly right through
the fall months, who gave as his eX-
cuse that he wanted to keep his stock
growing just the same as in summer.
Well, that was all right r he had food
enough on hand to carry him along,
but by the time winter arrived he was
faced by problem of selling off his
stock or buying food ut high prices.
There was no other alternative. He
had far more stock to begin with than
he SHOULD have had for the amount of
feed on hand, and then his reckless
waste in feeding had made matters
worse
That sort of mismanagement is Of
ten carried on in a lesser degree, and
animals are forced on the market at a
loss in order to save the food or the
necessity Of buying more. 1t is not
such a difficult matter for Il man to
figure out early in the fall how much
stock he can winter on a given amount
Of food. If he has sufficient of the
latter TO carry his stock along he is
justified in going ahead and feeding
literally, but il he cannot winter them
on wha- he has it is better to weed out
the flocks now. Let this be the first
economy practiced. Before the stock
is taken from the pastures sell the
poorest, O" those the least likely to
make profitable returns. Beyond this
l would advise no one to sell at all.
Simply reduce the stock to the limits
necessary for wintering them on the
food at hand. The amount of food
should be sufficient for good liberal
feedin- and varied enough to satisfy
the appeti,es of the animals. They do
so much better on varied diet that il
pays to have this ready for them at
all times. Especially do we want to
look out for the winter food of all
farm stock because we are coming
more to realize that ii is winter farm
ing that pays the best. Only intelli-
gent progressive and active farmers
can engage successfully IN winter
dalrying, poultry raising and the pro
ductlon Of winter iambs The great
mass OF farmers viii stick to summer
farming at the season of The year
when difficulties arc the greatest. 1t

ties that he makes ! is larger profits

come from. how they go and how to
determine the good from the bad. The
man who has the best knowledge
along that line is the man who is best
fitted to carry on dairyfng scientifi-
cally and exactly, and to guarantee
that his product viii be always uni
form, providing his milk, or the raw
product, has been delivered TO him in
the proper shape.
Marketing dairy products has been
almost entirely revoutionized within
the last twenty-five years. The meth
DDS Of transportation have improved,
methods Of packing. packages and
handling in every way have been so
radically changed that the handler of
butter of twenty-five years ago would
hardly be able to understand or appre-
ciate what has been accomplished I'M
less he had grown up, as it were, with
the improved methods.
We must have the dairy type. con-
formation of the COW to the business
for which she is designed We look
upon the COW now as simply II machine
through which the products of the
farm are passed, and from which we
receive the milk in its perfect condi-
ton. The COW that would produce 100
or 200 pounds of butter per year fifty
years ago was considered a fairly good
COW, but the COW that does not pro,
duce 300 pounds of butter per year
now is hardly considered up to date.
This has been brought about by organ
ization, by breeding, by studying the
problem and finding out how the milk
ing ability Of the machine could be de-
veloped-D. w. Wilson, in American

1t should be well known to advanced
gardeners by this time that light is as
great an agent in destruction by frost
as frost alone. But little practical adj
vantage has been taken of this knowl-
edge, except by gardening folk gener-
ally. of what the advanced gardeners
know. The latter shades his green
house when he finds the plants frozen,
and he plants rhOdodendrons and sim
liar plants where the sun does not
strike them in frosty weather, if he
should h; We any choice in the selection
of site. In the extra cold region OF
the Northwest the advanced gardener
shades the trunks of his trees by plac-
ing boards fastened together like tree
boxes, up against them And thus the
trees escape sunscald arising from
being under the sunlight, and similar
troubles.
Surely orange. growers in Florida
might profit by this experience OF their
Northern brethren. 1t would not be
a very expensive thing to make an ar
Dor or lath over an orange GROVE, the
lath being an inch or so apart. With
such partial shade the plants would
probably endure ten or twelve spas
mode degrees of frost without injury,
and the shade in summer would doubt
less be all the better for the trees, at
least the trunks Of the trees might be
boxed, and even filed with earth. if
the weight could be supported. If the
tops should suffer from frost, the
strong trunks would sooner recover
than when the whole tree was killed
to the ground. -Meehans' Monthly.

Window Gardening.

Nine-tenths of the windows used for
window gardening are too crowded for
the plants to look well or do WELL Turn
a new leaf right now by throwing
AWAY every poor or insignificant
growth. Better to buy new stock in
the spring than to turn your precious
window space into hospital ward for
siclSly plants.
Keep the foliage immediately clean.
Wash the leaves once or twice every
week. a plants lungs are its leaves.
Showering the foliage washes the dust
out of the pores, refreshes the plant
and imparts yigor Beside this. clean
plants do not harbor insects, the great
est fee of the indoor garden, and the
hardest to fight.
Loosen the crushed earth at the top
of the pots. The roots need air, and
in soft, pliable earth they get it by
capillary transmission. A hard top
crust seals the soil up as though in a
jug. Neither air nor water find free
entrance through it. Plants in hard
soil often suffer from lack of moisture
aat the roots, though water has been
given every day.
Slide the shades up to top of the
upper sash; take down the curtains at
tho plant windows, and let the invigor
ating sun shine in. Sunshine to a
plant is what gold is to Klondike
miner.
In extremely cold weather stay the
Watering pot. Plants need little water
sss4ing severe weather, and they chill

fresh drenching. If watering becomes
absolutely necessary, have it the tenn
Z perature cf the room, and give only in

At the last session of the leaisla-
ture resolution was passed by both
houses, after a close vote in the sen
ate, permitting cities, towns and VII
lagos to grant exemption from nun c.
ipal taxation to all manufacturing
enterprises hereafter established
within their borders, said exemption
not to be for Il longer period than ten
years.
The act was approved on the 9th of
March, or about ten months ago, but
as yet Jackson and Meridian are the
only two towns in the state that have
taken advantage of its provisions,
The object of the legislature in
passing the measure was to encour-
age the establishment of manufactur-

MISSISSIPPI NEWS.
a Great Conflagration Visits Biloxi.

a Great Conflagration Visits Biloxi.
Biloxi, situated in the Mississippi
Sound, eighty miles from New Or
leans, was swept by a terrific fire
Friday morning, which destroyed up
ward of one hundred buildings and
rendered hundreds of people home
less.
Biloxi is town of 1000 people and
q well known summer resort for Mis-
sssippians and Louisianians and
winter resort for northern people, 1t
has a small fire department and con-
tains many frame buildings, and the
fire simply burned until it had Moth
ing further to feed on.
1t broke out shortly after midnight
in a saloon near the Louisville and
Nashville depot, where a gang of ne
groes were playing craps, and after
destroying the depot swept through
to the beach, distance of several
squares. Fortunately no lives were
lost, but many of the poor people lost
their possessions.
The Holy church, school and con-
vent, two newspaper offices and sew
eral fine brick stores were in the
track of the fire and were destroyed.
The total loss is estimated at $780,
600, with 1925, 900 of insurance.
