TAKE CARE OF YOUR ROPE
Use Plenty Of Soap Where There n
Much Friction, and Prevent It
from Twisting.

Discussing the subject OF how to pre-
vent O hay rope from twisting, MT.
George Benbow in q recent issue OF
Wallace's Farmer says:
what you want to do 10 to compel
the hemp fiber to conform itself to the
new position In the rope. The hemp.
as 1t comes to the rope walk to be man
ufactured is straight. The fibers are
Joined and twisted to form thread;
the threads are doubled and twisted
to form a strand, and the strands
are twisted together to form q rope.
With all this twisting is It q wonder
the original fiber resists? Now to boil
your rope. or soak It In water. or to
lay It In the dew, deadens the twist,
and this will be done at the expense
of your rope. A rope maker Will tell
you never to wet rope. After being
wet 1t will never again be as strong as
it was before. A good rope always
twists more or less with damp or very
dry weather.
Now as to your new hay rope. lam
supposing It is hung ready for work.
AS you look up the rope is twisted
from right to left most likely In a
new rope. Now use little patience.
Take the end where the horses are
hitched and take two or three turns
out OF the rope. Then run 1t back
and forth, and II you have not taken
enough turns take two or three more
until you get 1t right. Most likely
when the rope gets older the twist
will be from left to right as you LOOK
up. In this case put few twists in
1t and 1t will be all right. Beware OF
rope so old that II hangs dead In
all kinds OF weather. II is nearly gone
for work and Is dangerous.
Instead Of robb!ng your rope OF Its
strength by boiling and wetting, feed
It. Take bar Of good soap and run
It along as the rope runs back and
forth. The soap will soon find its way
all over the rope and 1t will add to
its strength and make It work more
smoothly. know this is work, but II
you will take patience ana soap you
will be we'll repaid for the time spent.
Use plenty Of soap where there Is
much friction. Take care ofyour rope!"

INTRODUCTION OF A QUEEN
How to Perform Task Which Is Con-
sidered One of the Hardest
ia Beekeeping.

Colonies having only young bees &C.
cept queens readily, SO that when q
swarm has issued and the parent stock
has been removed to new stand the
time for queen introduction is propiti-
Gus. During great honey flow queens
are accepted without much question, II
any at all. They may at such times
nearly always be safely run in just
at dark by lifting one corner of the
cover or quilt of queenless hive and
driving the bees back with smoke. The
new queen, having been kept without
food and away from all other bees for
a half hour previously, is then slipped
in and the have left undisturbed for
several days. AS queens mate only
once and workers and drones live but
a few weeks or at most only a few
months =, II an Italian. a Carniolan or
other choice queen mated to drone Of
her own race is introduced into col
ony the bees of this colony will soon
be replaced by others of the same race
as the queen. All of the colonies OF an
apiary may thus be changed. From
q single breeding queen the apiary
may be supplied with young queens
pure in blood. and since these-even
though mated to drones of another
race-will produce drones of their own
blood, the apiary will soon be stocked
with males Of the desired race.-Field

sEAsoNABLE FARM NOTES.

Any kind OF land that Is undertake
with a quicksand subsoil is not to be
relied on for the raising OF crops
About 20 pounds is the amount Of
alfalfa seed required per acre to give
the best Of results on fairly good
land.
AS a rule, a soil that is loamy on
top and clayey underneath is good
farming land, provided that the drain
age is good.
Cross-breeding animals does not
generally yield satisfactory results,
nor will cross-breeding seed plants DO
likely to give us any better results In
the main.
Corn that has been permitted to
fully mature on the stalks gives the
best results when used for seed. We
might expect this, as it is in accord
ance with natures plan.
Do not select the ears Of corn in
tended for seed too early this fall.
The corn is increasing in substance
now, and this should be allowed to go
on as long as possible. Until the SUBJ
stance is all in the kernels they will
not have attained full vitality.

THE cUATEMALAN TURKEY.
Enemy Of Boil Weevil Which Is to
Be Given a Trial by Agricul-
tural Department.

Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson an
nounces that he has discovered new foe
to the cotton boil weeyil. It is an espe-
cially interesting foe, since after It has
eaten the weevil the cotton planters can
eat the foe. Mr.. Wilson's discovery Is
a species Of turkey from Guatemala.
While not willing to commit himself
to the statement that the new foe will
make the boil weevils scarce in Texas,
Secretary Wilson has hopes the turkey
will not necessarily supersede the
weevil-eating ant, but will be his ally.
"Our agents in Guatemala" says the
secretary. 'in their study OF the life
habits of the ants, and the boil we.vil,
have recently discovered that the turkey
is a great enemy Of the weevil and pro-
pose to give It trial in the United
States. The turkey Of Guatemala is
somewhat smaller than dur own variety
and 1t is very tame. It is also very good
for food. In fighting the weevil the de-
partment will srsre no expense and II
the turkeys can be- obtained and will do
the work they will be distributed among
all the plantations Of the infested sec
ton. The study ef the Guatemalen ant
will. at the same time, be continued.
"Those which have been imported are
doing well and sre meeting our ex-
pectatlons. Rerorts that we have been
losing them are without foundation"

Wise Selection Of Crops.

There is much time and money lost
by farmers because they do not know
those varieties Of grains and grasses
adapted to the climate. Plants with
thick leaves are best suited to a dry
climate, while those with thin leaves
are most desirable for a damp air. For
this reason those living in a dry eli
mate should grow corn, grass, etc.,
with thick leaves. Seed corn should
be selected carefully. Nibs one and
one-half inches long on an ear OF corn
result from bad selection. On such IN
ear the silks from the kernels on the
tip OF the ear are so slow in maturing
that there is no pollen to fertilizc
them. Select ears that show, by being
well filed at the tip, that the silks
mature close together, not more than
three or four days apart.

Keep the Farm Tools Clean.

In no other way can good. thorough
work be done 20 quickly and easily as
with tools kept IN nice working order.
And after you are through with them,
store them away in dry place. Have
a place for every tool, and put 1t in its
place. When you lay them away coat
all steel parts with oil mixed with
white lead or lard and kerosene; the
latter to prevent the rats from eating
on the grease. Then in the spring,
when you draw out the tools, you
will have no trouble in getting them
to do good service.-E. l. Morris, in

wise to have them roost with other pou!-
try. II found necessary to confine them,
all that Is needed is shed or house that
will protect them from the elements and
marauders OF all kinds, and at the same
time not be too combining for them.
Place the roosts well up from the floor
and keep the interior perfectly clean and
free from vermin. In localities where It
is not too cold during the winter months,
II is better to allow the breeding stock
to roost in the open. either in trees or
upon roosts prepared for them by plant
ing posts that project about eight feet
above the ground. Upon these place
long poles about two or 2la inches in d.
ameter for roosts. Roasting places OF
this kind are better sheltered when To-

Skim-Milk for the Fowls.

The more skimmilk the fowls use
the better. In spite CT all that has beer
said in favor OF this kind of food a
good many farmers give all the skim
milk they have to the pigs and lie: the
fowls subsist on grain alone. Often
the pigs have more than they can eat,
and in such case a large part Of the
milk Is wasted. Fowls make such good
use OF milk as partial ration that its
feeding should not be neglected.
