The Slipshod 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. Then 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 a result next years crops will
be 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
weevils? Enough bi-sulphide' Of car
bon to protect an entire crib full by
killing gevery insect in it might cost
a half dollar. There will be a better
use for every bushel of corn saved
than feeding weevils. Where weevils
prevail, as is the case over half OF
Texas at least, a few punches of rags
the size of a large peach, saturated
with the b~i-sulphide and thrust into
the corr 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 weevil, it will damage the corn
more or l~ess.-Farm and Ranch.

STOCK FEEDING INDUSTRY.
Converting Forage Crops and Grain
Into Butchers stock a Profit
able Business.

The branch of the great agricultural
industry known as stock feeding is
growing rapidly in popularity all over
the west and southwest. This is the
outgrowth of the well-developed fact
that converting forage crops and grain
into butchers stock is a profitable bust
ness, even when the animals and the
feed are both purchased in open mar
ket. The stock raisers and the feed
growers make a profit On their goods,
and then the feeder makes a larger
profit than either. OF course this con-
dition of affairs has stimulated crop
growers to become stock growers and
feeders, thus saving to themselves and
adding to the profits possible in grow
ing forage and grain, the additional
profit of the stock growers and the
feeder. Would it not be wise for every
grow hay and grain to keep cattle, or
hogs, or sheep, or horses, or all of
these combined, to the extent of the
capacity of the farmer to feed them?
Many are doing this, and as all who
do find the business profitable they
should be looked upon by other farm
ers as examples worthy of imitation.
This problem is reducible to "stock
farming" which we have been trying
for many years to popularize, because
it is the only system of farming GER
tainly profitable while enriching the
farm. We were familiar with a case
where two intelligent farmers with
lands adjoining opened up business
about the same time. One gradually
accumulated some COWS, a few brood
mares, some good brood sows and a
small flock OF sheep, and while his
neighbor vas busy growing only corn,
cotton and sweet potatoes, he grew
feed for his stock, whose numbers
gradually increased, until his farm
was too small. He then bought out
his neighbor, paying him cash in full,
and he soon made the enlarged farm
average so to 60 bushels of corn per
acre, and other feed crops in proper
ton. This stock farmer prospered as
long as he lived, and finally died, leav-
ing to his children the most productive
farm within a redaius of ten miles or
more.-Texas Farm and Ranch.
