VALUABLE FARM BOOKS.

Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
L. II. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 800 pages,
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1926 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount TO US for a copy of Prof. L.
81. Bailey's principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the "whys and wherefores"-the
principles-of the business" of
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who ecure a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 800
pages. Send US 81. 25 and get a copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.
A SPECIAL PRICE.
We have now decided to senda
copy of this valuable work and a
years subscription to The Progress
i've Farmer to any address for only
50. This offer is made at a sacrifice
in the hope of placing the work in
the hands of more of the thousands
who need it.

Farm Miscellany.
CURING GULLIEs.

On many Virginia farms there are
deep gullies, and little gullies which
in a few years will wash out into
deep one In the lower Mississippi,
Eads discovered how, by sunken
j~etties, to use the same WATERFORD
which created shadows and bars in
destroying them. So in gullies the
same force which creates them can
be turned to account to fill them up.
To accomplish this engineering feat
it is only necessary to have cedar or
pine boughs Or brush. The brush
should be laid in the gullies ''against
the current )" that is, with the butts
pointing toward the lower end of the
gully. Freshets of water will not
wash them away, as would be the
case did their limbs trend with the
flow of the water, but on the CON
trary earth will be washed and
lodged wherever there is an acute
angle formed by a crotch, and the
gullies will gradually fill up, until in
a couple or three years only a gentle
depression will remain, which can
easily be leveled, if desired, with a
pillow. Brushing gullies is good win
ter work. A few loads of fre-wood
trimmings can be distributed about
on most farms to good advantage

SHEEP RAISING.

I enjoy reading The Progressive
Farmer very much, as it is alwaysi in
the interest of the farmer and is one
of the most reliable papers published
in the State. 1 have been particu-
larly interested in Mr. Aroher's let
tiers on sheep raising. 1 have thought
for several years that sheep raising
in the South could be made profitable
for both mutton and wool. I have
kept a few sheep, a o between
Merinos and the common sheep. My
experience led me to believe as just
stated, though I eve gave them
the attention that they should have
had. am now too old to undertake
the business on an extensive scale,
but would like TO see the business
tried by some persons capable ofman-
aging it. If any person wishes to
engage in the stock raising business,
and especially sheep, in this section,
1 would be glad to correspond with
him. M. W. Alexander, Harris

AS to wool, there was for three

plenty of room above it for the am
bilious shepherd.
I must modify this by saying it
would be better so for n who has a
good knowledge of the business and
practice in handling it, but for the
amateur who will without expert
ence put the sheep and plantation in

out of four, it would be better for
him to buy the low grades and breed

DESTROYING wEEvIL IN GRAIN.

To prevent insects from getting
into newly threshed wheat care
should be taken that the bins are
perfectly clean. IF bins or store
houses are thoroughly cleaned and
whitewashed before the grain is
placed in them, many cracks and
crevices filed with insects will be
stopped up. The granary should be
made as tight as possible and thor
Oughly disinfected each season. Be-
fore the adoption of bisulphide of
carbon, one remedy practioed was
heating the infested grain to 40 de-
grees. 1t was left in this tempera-
ture for 8 to 10 hours. The remedy
was difficult to adopt and was not
extensively used. Tobacco, sulphur
and many other substances have
been recommended, but have not
been used with satisfactory results
where large large quantities of grain
are stored.
The simplest, most effective and
least expensive of all remedies for
stored grain insects is the use of
bisulphide of carbon. To insure
grain from the attack of insects it
should be treated with b%isulphide
thoroughly after being placed in the
bin. 1t is a foul smelling liquid
which evaporates very readily. The
fumes r heavier than air and pene-
trate the grain, producing an atmo-
sphere in which no insect can live.
Although explosive, this material
can be handled without danger if
care Is taken not to have lights of
any kind around during the fumiga-
ton. The material can be thrown
directly upon the grain without in
juring it either for seed or edible
purposes. About one pound, equiva-
lent to a pint, is necessary for one
ton of grain in store. 1t should be
poured in soup plates or tin pans, set
about on the surface Of the grain.
The price of bisulphide Of carbon
varies from Is to 80 cents per pound.
depending on purity and quantity
purchased. There is a grade known
as fuma bisulphide of carbon, espe-
cially manufactured for the disinfec-
ton of grain and seeds.-American

THE USE AND VALUE OF FRESH CUT
GREEN BONE AS POULTRY FOOD.
III.

IL.
Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
tt takes time and labor to grind
green bones or even to pound shells
up for the poultry, and a great many
who start in nobly soon give out.
Probably they look at it in this way {:
the time anf labor spent in grinding
the bones, if paid for at regular rates,
would represent much more than the
actual profits of the eggs. 1t is
hardly economy, therefore, or good
sense to do a work that is irksome
and not very profitable. But how
else will you spend your time to
make up for the difference? There
is no other way on the farm in win
ter to put the idle moments to actual
profitable use. Consequently it will
more than pay to grind the bones or
pound the shells as religiously as you
feed your chickens every night.

PEACHES.

ence enabled him to reach the follow
ing conclusions:
1. 1t paid us we'll to build up a
local market.
2. After a local market was built
up it paid us best to ship to one com
mission house.
3. Careful packing paid about Is
per cent. more than ordinary pack
ing.
4. Peaches just ripe enough to eat
here we're too ripe to ship TO Houston,
a distance of ninety, five miles.
5. 1t paid us best to place fruit of
even size throughout the package,
and the red cheek of the top layer
uppermost.
G.. The one third bushel basket was
the best paying package that we
tried.
The station is also experimenting
in canning fruit, with a view to en-
aiding producers to Va their surplus
fruits profitably. 1t has been found
that one bushel of Mamie Ross
peaches will fill twenty-five 8 pound
cans, which, at 20 cents per can,
gives a value of 81. 40 per bushel, less
the cost of cans, labor and sugar,
But even after deducting these items
the work will still be found profit.

Carbon bisulphide is a c~olorless
liquid with a strong odor, which
evaporates freely in an ordinary
temperature. It is heavier than air,
highly infammable and a poison, al
though a small amount is not injur-
ious. 1t is exceedingly useful in
treating stored grains for killing in
scots. Make the bin as nearly air
tight as possible, then place the bisul-
phide in small dishes on top of the
grain, close up the bin and allow to
remain for "a hours. This will even
tually rid the bin of all insects, rats
and mice. Warehouses, mills, eleva,
tors, stores and the like may be
treated in this manner.-Exchange
