Houston Fire Fighters Lead In Step To-

Houston's IRE department has been
accredited with being the most efficient
fire lighting force in the State Of Texas
and the claim IS founded on fact
The department Of this city has another
distinction that is attracting a vast deal
Of attention from the paid departments
Of all the cities Of the United States.
HoustoRs hremen were the nrst in all the
country to band themselves together as q
duly organized body, chartered rs labor
organization and affiliated with the Ameri

are also affiliated with the local organiza
tons
As the only paid fire department that Is
thus stamped az a distinct labor orgariza
ton, labor journals and trnde papers have
devoted much space to the Houston depart
/ ment. The hremen's union received III
charter on the 25th day Of February, 1907
and Is designated as No. $500.

Rye q Quick / eed.

The farmer who sowed rye la :
August has been enjoyin pasture
from it early this spring. 1t has
the advantage over grass seed
that you can bring it into use so
quickly from time of seeding.
Even seeding early this spring
furnishes, in a short time, an ex-
cellent pasture of great value to
the swine man this season, es-
specially with the price of grain so
high. 1t is of. vigorous growth,
furnishes an abundance of filling
and is relished by swine. If clo-
YER, timothy or other grasses
were sown this spring it would
be months before they would furn-
ish pasture or it would be safe to
pasture them; but with rye it will
stand almost any kind of hard
pasture, and is therefore of great
advantage in supplying a pasture
when needed.
Every farmer and breeder of
swine sh ouldgive lots of thought
to the situation this year to enable
hin to make the most profit out
OF his operations. Too many 90

of what is best for them to do.

SONS which are frequently used
for the growth of ieguminous
plants should receive a dressing
of lime, preferably in the fall,
and IS bushels OF stone lime per
acre, once in four or five years,
is sufficient amount for medium
soils.
A steady purpose with the
farmer should be to make the
most of everything he grows.
How can this be done in the case
of the cowpea-in the base of all
such plants?
1t is further observed that
whilst the fertilizing value of the
roots and stubble of the cowpea
are very considerable, yet they
are not as as great as that os the
hav which can De removed from
the field,
What should the grower of the
cowpea do about this! The best
and most economical use of the
cowpea is to cut it for hay feed to
stock and return all the barn or
stable manure so produced to the
soil. Flowing the whole crop
under is less remunerative, be-
cause there is by this course
much needless waste of the mus
dle-making and fat-forming con-
stituentsof the plant which would
bring more profit. if turned into

Until the manner and Charac-

Now we know that every farmer
rich and poor, has oyer S,OOOtons

A point regarding the need

in the observation that by it's use
