BOIL WEEVIL MAY RUIN
 MORE THAN HALF A CROP.

From the Southern Farm Magazine
 Mr. W. D. Hunter. special agent of the division of entomology of the national de- partment of agriculture. who has been in charge of the boil weevil Investigations. in a review of his operations in Texas in 1903 reports that up to January, 1904 the boil weevil has been found outside of Texas in only three instances One of these was the sugar experiment station near New Orleans where prompt action was taken for the eradication of the pest, and the other two are at Sabine parish. Louisiana. directly opposite Shell by county. Texas In both these cases there are indication that the pest was brought from Texas in cotton seed or other cotton products. Louisiana author ities are endeavoring to exterminate these colonies as they did the one at Audubon Park
 Mr Hunter in order to reach a basis for an estimate of the damage wrought bv the weevil. compared ten typical Texas counties where the weeyil had prevailed with ten where 1t was not present. In the former 371 .349 bales were produced in 1s99 when there was no weevil there, and but 174174 bales in 1902 a decrease of 53 per cent. In the latter the production was sSS S71 bales in 1899 and 37S612 bales in 1902 an increase of Il per cent. The investigator says that there seems to be no reason why the production of the first ten counties would not have increased at about the same rate as that in the second ten had it not been for the weevil and he calculates that the approximate damage caused by the insect was about 64 per cent. He suggests, though. that therA

 Southern states are beginning to take steps to prevent the spread of the pest. Alabama prohibits the i importation of seed from cotton affected with the Texas weevil. No cotton seed grown in Texas or Louisiana were consigned or bought in those states without a certificate that the seed had been fumigated in such man ner as to kill any weevil pest North Carolina has a crop pest law which may be applied to the weevil. and Mississippi and Louisiana are expected to meet the situation with speedy legislation.

TdlSeu Il lOI or kdIIlf corn anu SuH- flowers the last summer and find the former one of the best foods to be raised for poultry in this section. During the summer months I fed my hens hardly any corn.
 Green Stuff Required.
 l generally keep some yards sowed to oats or rye so I can turn the hens in for a change. as they require lot of green stuff when confined; and nearly every day at noon I feed them fresh cut clover or other green food in some way, unless they have 1t in their yards Every yard is planted with peach, plum or mulberry trees for shade, and the mulberries af- ford a good per cent of food for several months in the summer. Besides, 1 have a small orchard, Into which I can turn the fowls for exercise, bugs and worms at the right time. During the winter months, when bugs and worms are scarce l feed the hens regularly about F per cent beef meal in their mashes, and, in fact. the year round we give them 10 10 per cent beef meal as our hens are confined to some extent nearly all the time, and in doing so 1t increases the egg supply. A tin can nailed in each pen is kept filled with crushed oyster shell where the fowls can help them selves at all times, to serve them as grit Once week regularly we clean all our poultry houses and whitewash them In the summer to keep them fresh and free from lice etc. The droppings are all stored away and mixed with dry dirt and make one of the best fertilizers for any purpose wanted.
 Attention Brings Results.
 By giving our poultry the attention due them we get eggs, and lots of them while our neghbors are complaining of scarol- ty of eggs of course we don't allow any fowls to roost in trees, etc, but have good warm quarters for them with plenty of ventilation and sunshine.
 l consider the Leghorns the best lay ers but for all round purposes I think that the barred Plymouth Rocks are un- excelled as I have raised these for the past four years and have over 200 of this breed now.
 At the beginning of the breeding sea son I have generally ordered three or four high scoring cockerels from re- liable breeders and the result is that our stock is healthy, vigorous and of the best type (which is most desired by fan ciers).
 Although 1t costs extra money to get new blood each year, I find that I can sell surplus roosters at good prices to other breeders, and I know that inbreed- ing Is not desirable Besides this, what is nicer to look at than a flock of fowls all alike in shade and color. l get orders | for eggs to hatch from towns hundreds of miles away. for parties seeing fancy poultry generally admire them and are willing to pay fancy prices for eggs they know to come from good thoroughbred stock than to buy mongrels' eggs to hatch from.
 Besides raising Barred Rocks and White Leghorns of the best strains have a few flocks of Mammoth Pekin ducks (ffty in alb which commenced lay ing December 21, and at this writing are giving us from eighteen to twenty-five eggs every day We have three incuba- tors filled with duck eggs and have lot of little ducklings from one to twenty days old
