WORMS AND WEEvILS
Special Agent Proctor Reports Them
Numerous About EHRiS.

The Ennis Weekly Local, of today
has the following concerning the
work of the boil worms and boil
weevils on the farms near Ennis:
1.-The cotton prospects has seemed
exceedingly fiatteriug heretofore
| and the casual observer has been led
to believe that the crop is not suf-
fering serious ravage, but upon
more careful observation it is being
found that the worms are doing vast
damage to the crop.
"Mr w. r. Proctor special govern
ment agent in charge of the farm
ers cooperative Cotton Demonstra-
tion work under Col. Knapp spent
last Thursday in aud about Ennis,
and bis discoveries are calculated to
bring disappointment to a hopeful
people. He went out to the Story
experimental farm and carefully
examined the cotton. There he
found nlmbers OF boil weevil on
high sandy land which has hereto
fore been considered immune from
weevil. From there he visited Col.
Allison's demonstration farm and
TO Mr. Aliison's S surprise found the
boil worms working utter destruc-
tiun TO the cotton
The general appearance OF the
cotton indicates it is ia fine condi-
ti0n, but when the boil is examined
it is found that the worm has bored
in under the shack and the large
boIls weighing more than an ounce
are ruined.
"IIere are no weeyiis in Mr., ALI
sons cotton. Mr.. Proctor visited
this farm eight days ago, and now
upon this visit he finds that crop
has lost At least % per cent from its
condition as noted then.
"This is a depressing and discour-
aging report and as farmers come
in from various sections of the
country similar reports are being
received.
w. n Rose of near Bard we'll,
was here Friday morning and said
cotton was going to be mighty short
out his way. He said the worms
v ere working on the high lands and
the weevils on the low lands Some
of it he said wouldn't make more
than a tenth of a bale per acre, uu-
less il is Tut on in The future. Other
crops he said would make from
quarter TO half bale Ter acre. ."

BULKY FOOD FOR POULTRY
There Is No Good Reason Why the
Hens Should Be Confined to
Concentrated Rations.

A leading poultryman who met with
success states that he made 1t a rule
to feed his hens the same as he did
his cows-that is, he fed grain, hay,
ensilage, cooked roots, and added to
the rations of the hens ground meat
and bone, good, clean bone-neal also
being given to the COWS. There is no
reason why poultry should be fed al
most exclusively with concentrated
food. Such practice is not economical,
is not the best mode, and is sometimes
Injurious. II horses and cows were
kept on corn or ground grain to the
exclusion of that which is bulky, they
would soon fail to give satisfaction to
their owners, and this is SO well
known to farmers that none of them
attempt to keep stock without supply
ing them grass in summer and hay
in winter. The hens will eat grass.
and they will also eat hay in winter,
provided it is cropped for them, and
especially if it is STEPPED in water and
softened. They prefer coarse food to
grain exclusively, and they lay Cftener
with such food, and keep in health.
The hens on farms where food ia
given but three or four times a week
can derive all they wish by consuming
the heritage OF the fields. Some farm
ers SOW rye in the fall and oats in the
spring for the hens, and find that 1t
pays them to do S The gizzard works
in it's grinding capacity to its best adj
vantage when the hens are provided
with a variety of food, and better d.
gestion is thereby secured. 1t is
cheaper to use bulky food with grain
than to confine the hens to concen-
trated materials, and they will pro-
duce more eggs by such treatment

RIPENESS OF HONEY.
How One Beekeeper Determines
Whether Honey Is Ready for
the Extractor.

In discussing the r~ipeness Of honey
taken for the extractor, Mr.. Dickinson,
at the Ontario Bee Keepers conven-
ton, said:
Il do not take any than ordi-
nary pains to have ripe honey. l work
on a method that seems very simple. !
always take my extracted honey from
the third story, counting the brood
story as one, the next two, and then
take it from the top. / agreed with Mr..
Mcintyre, of California, when l read
his paper, that two-thirds or one-half
capped is all that is necessary if that
principle is adopted. But do not ex-
tract honey from bombs that the bees
have had access to to put in the pres
ent days gather, where you can shake
some of it out like water. We do not
want that in the extractor at all There
is no secret about getting good, ripe
honey. l follow that principle. / am
rot particular about having every cell
capped if l work on that principle, but
: want every cell capped if l take it
from the second story, because l know
there is no room for the present days

Market Chickens While Young.

If you want to make money from
chicks the best thing is to know when
to market them. An early two and
on.-half-pound bird at Is ceuts per
pound brings As cents. Keep him In
til he weighs five pounds, feed a lot Of
grain and sell for seven cents, and you
have IS cents. This is what many
farmers do. The best way to market
chickens is to make arrangements
With some hotel and boarding house.
You often can If you try to furnish
than a certain number of chickens on
a given day. l drive seven miles with
IL chickens every Saturday. l cleared
the past summer $500 from my poul-
try. Pretty good for a farmers wife,
isn't it? q sold some to merchants,
who appreciate a fresh young chicken
for Sunday dinner and will be on the
watch for you as soon as they know
you come regular with good stock

BEES ON THE FARM.
But a Small Portion Of the Farmers
Are Engaged in the Rails
ing Of Honey.

In proportion to the population, the
number of persons who keep bees is very
small, says the Philadelphia Record.
yet there is no branch of farming Corit
should be connected with farming) more
profitable at certain seasons THAI the
keeping of bees. A good, strong colony
in the midst of the busy season Will COL
lect and store four or five pounds or more
of honey daily, the amount OF YORK done
by the bees depending upon the forage,
and the strength of the colony. AS soon
as a colony become weak n 1ncapaDle
of defense it will be attacked by the
stronger ones and robbed. Hence, In or
der to keep each hive up to It's fullest
capacity, the beekeeper must provide
plenty of comb foundation, in order TO
lessen the work to be performed, ano
sow such crops as will afford honey later
in the season, when the lowers have
finished poisoning.
The swarming process Is nothing
more than the departure Of the old queen
and her working bees, in order TO aDan-
don the hive to the younger queen ano
bees. By being on the alert, and hlvlng
the swarms as they alight, the number
of colonies may be largely increased
but the weak colonies seldom swarm
Moths usually attack the veal olonles
and only the stronger colonies are able
to pass safely through the winter. The
common bees may be gradually replaced
with the Italian or Cyprian varieties, by
removing the old queen and substituting
a new fortified queen Of either KIND
preferred. If she is carefully guarded
in a small cage for a few days the bees
soon recognize her, and in the course OF
afew months the old bees will all be dead
and the new mes will be of the desired
kind. The queen is compelled to lay
numbers of eggs daily in order to supply
the great loss constantly occurring BY
the destruction from birds, storms and
other difficulties. They should be left
plenty of honey for a winter supply, ant
the hives should be well protected from
storms.
What the beekeeper should aim to de
is to SOW such crops as will enable tn
bees to lay in a large supply Of hoaey
and he can we'll afford to Go so If he 'ha:
a number Of hives. At this season the
/ bees find plenty to do in working on thu
flowers, Blu. later the crop of buckwhea
affords ample forage while it is in bios
som. Enterprising beekeepers combin'
beekeeping and poultry raising, finding
that a small piece of ground may in tina
manner return large profits. How tt
manage bees well cannot be explained IL
a single article. All who are interested
should first make themselves familia'
with the details before beginning b!
consulting authorities on the subject
That beekeeping is a profitable occupa
ton, however, has been demonstrates
satisfactorily to all engaged.

True Heroisrn.

A remarkable incident of n of the
Port Arthur fights is the following
During an attack a Japanese officer was
shot and lay a whole night in a trench
In the morning a Russian soldier en-
tered the earthwork and began to ex'
anime the dead. The soldier himself
was bleeding freely, one of his ears hav'
ing been severed. He speedily fount
the wounded Japanese, examined hi!
injuries, took him il his arms and car
ried him to the japanese trenches
where both received a joyful welcome
and the wounds of beth were cared for
The story is vouched for by Mr.. Villiers
the English artist with the japanese
army, who made the drawing here repro
duced.

the tufts is that favored by the great
majority of market poultry men. They
are constant layers, especially in cold
weather. The plumage of the fowls
is radically different from any other.
It resembles wool or fine hair as much
as anything. An advantage derived
directly from this difference in plu-
mage is the inability Of the fowls to
fly. The web of the wing feathers be-
ing incomplete and merely a fringe,
as is also the case with the tail feath-
ers. they will not support the bird in
the air for even a short flight, and a
three-foot fence will confine them.
Roosts and nests have to be placed
near the floor on this account, or
steps provided. The legs Of the fluffs
are clean and of a rich yellow hue.

TOO GREAT A RESEMBLANCE

Tt Lacked Charitable Ex-
preston.

Bishop Olmsted, of Denver, is interest

many generous contributions on their be-
half from rich Episcopalians, says the New
York Tribune.
There is in Denver, however, a million
sirc who will rarely consent to help
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is a
generous man, and in his own way, he
assists the poor, but to organized char
ity, for some reason, he heartily OBJ
jects. The bishop often asks him for
subscriptions, but these requests are al
most invariably refused.
Recently the millionaire had his por-
trait painted. Bishop Olmsted met him
the other day and said:

Wintering the Bees.

1t is none too soon to be making
preparations for the wintering of bees.
Bees are not hard or difficult to win
ter, if given proper attention in the
fall. Given abundant stores, and time
TO fix things to their liking, a good col
cny will winter under all manne of
conditions. Be sure that you have
enough bees in each colony the first
thing you do; If you have not, unite
until every colony is strong. Good
apiarists never feel safe, unless each
colony contains a peck of bees-Mid-

Reads Like a Miracle.

4. Moravia, N. Y, Dec. l2th.-(Special)-
Bordering on the miraculous is the case
of Mrs. BENZ. Wilson, of this place. Suf-
fering from Sugar Diabetes, she wasted
away till from weighing 200 lbs: she
barely tipped the scales at 100 lbs. Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her
cure her husband says:
MY wife suffered everything from
Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years
and doctored with two doctors, but re-
ceived no benefit. She had so much pain
all over her that she could not rest day
or night. The doctor said that she could
not live.
Then an advertisement led me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills and they helped her
right from the first. Five boxes of them
cured her. Dodd's Kidney Pills were a
God-Sent remedy to us and we recon-
mend them to all suffering from Kidney
Disease"
Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney
Diseases, including Bright's Disease, and
all kidney aches, including Rheumatism.
