Not the rnnlt of the rnrm.

We hear a great deal about "old
rundown farms" Whole sections of
country have been almost ruined ag-
riculturally by the exhaustion of the
fertility of the farms, In the south
west this has occurred-rarely. it Is
true, but We know farms in Texas that
have been abandoned because the own
er could no longer subsist upon the
yield Of the once fairly fertile soil.
This result is not the fault of the
farm but Of the farmer One can not
continue Indefinitely to grow crops
and sell them without depicting the
land. If a farmer don't know this,
he should quit farming and go into
some other business more consistent
with his capacity No man has a right
to bankrupt his farm, and make a bar
rem waste of it, 1t IS a fact that some
men have too little capacity to farm
They might make able hodcarriers or
ditch diggers, but are beyond their
depth when they undertake TO farm.
A competent farmer will so manage
his business that his farm will become
more productive every year, for there
is where the profit lies-Farm and

The SIipsh0d Way.

Those who do not intend to cut their
corn or who have delayed the cutting
until it is too late, will propably slip
chuck it, crib it and let the weevils eat
the best of it. Thon they will be so
short of feed for a few months that
the hogs will be poor, the cows dry
up, and the pillow teams will not be
strong enough to do any good blowing,
and as q result next years crops will
DO short. But why grumble about
short crops when that which is grown
is One-third left in the field, and of the
balance a large portion is eaten by
weeyils? Enough bi-sulphde OF car
bon to protect an entire crib full by
killing geyery insect in 1t might cost
half dollar There will be a better
use for every bushel Of corn saved
than feeding weeyils. Where weevils
prevail, as is the case over half of
Texas at least, a few lunches of rags
the size of a large peach, saturated
with the bi-sulphide and thrust into
the corn a foot or so below the surface,
Will do the work. 1t is more satisfac-
tory than the old way Of wetting the
corn, for while water enough will keep
out the weeyil, it will damage the corn
more or less.-Farm and Ranch.
