What a Lump of Coal Can Do.

A single pound Of coal is capable OF
producing 236 horsepower and could
do the work Of an express locomotive
for one-ffth Of minute. In other
words, it is enough to haul a train of
eight cars, including the Pullman
sleeping cars and dining cars, at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour one-sixth Of
a mile. In saving wood a man may
work at the rate of about sixty strokes
a minute, and his saw blade may have
progressed five feet minute, but a
circular saw driven by machinery will
cut seventy times as much wood in
the same time. And yet this one little
pound Of coal contains power enough
for 1870 such saws.-Chicago Fuel.

Study Agriculture.

Some very wholesome advice to the young men of this age Is found in the following statement by President Jesse of the Missouri University. In a recent publication he says:
 Unless boy has a deep seated pref erence for some other profession, 1t does not seem to me wise for him to ignore the great opportunities that az rlculture offers, whether he was born in the country or In the city. In my opinion. no other occupation offers so rich rewards, all things considered, as agriculture offers to those who are willing to train themselves for 1t as earnestly and intelligently as they would train themselves for law or med icine. If a boy will put the same amount of time and study into hls training for agriculture that he would put into his training for law and medI- cine. he will in the great majority of cases make more money, enjoy greater freedom, better health, and develop stronger character"
 The youth of America could not be given better or more useful advice. 1t speaks the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth" and no young men will make a mistake if he begins the study of agriculture as the stepping stone to his chosen profession. 4 youth of ordinary ability, who Is pos sessed of an ambitious desire to sue ceed' and will only work, is sure of a future that not only means the earn inss of a satisfactory income, but car rles with 1t an influence and prestige in the community in which he lives that Is gained through no other source. The scientific and practical study of ag- rtculture as offered in the course of an agricultural college may direct one into any number of different lines of pleasant and remunerattve employment more or less closely connected with the farm.
 There never was q better chance for the industrious and Ievel-headed lad, who has been born and reared upon the farm in the midst of vigorous and healthy country environment He may win honor and success among his fel- lows by devoting his energy in life to a conscientious study and practice oi scientific agriculture Let us have more boys and men enrolled as regular stu dents in our educational institutions which have been established, and are sustained both by private and public funds, for the sole purpose of making better farmers of us all. The opportu- nities in these lines are, indeed, many Shall we heed them, or simply allow them to pass unchallenged a[5 con. tinue to seek distinction in tSA moro crowded and desirous professions oi lifee--Exchange

 Despite the bad weather, baseball dope is again being dispensed on the campus. Uniforms were distributed to the candidates yesterday and little preliminary practice was done. It is too early yet to form any kind of idea of the seasons prospects, but under the veteran coaching of Tommie Stouch it is certain that the Univer- sity will have a team of which 1t need not be ashamed. The most apparent deficiency at present seems to be along the catching line, McManon, the re- liable backstop for several years past having graduated last June.

 I have sent you a bulletin on alfalfa. I would strongly advise you against sowing alfalfa with oats. It should be sown alone. on the best land possible and given every possible chance to suc- ceed. for as a young plant alfalfa is quite delicate. Most important of all on your soil will doubtless be the in. oculation of the seed, as described in the bulletin which I send. On appli- cation to Dr. A. F. Woods.

year-old steers on a ration of fifty pounds of silage and four pounds of
 cotton seed meal daily. These steers
 made an average gain of two and a
 half pounds a day for 120 days, cer-
 tainly a satisfactory and profitable re-
 suit. He suggests that an addition of five or six pounds of cotton seed hulls
 or good hay would be beneficial, and | 1t is the opinion of the writer that the efficiency of the ration would be con-
 siderably increased by such an addi- tion, especially If cowpea or alfalfa hay
 be added. It is MT. Wetherford's ex- perience that a moderate quantity of cotton seed meal can be fed to steers
 for an indefinite period if used in com bination with silage. Sorghum for silage is planted at Ter
 rell about April, in rows thirty inches
 apart, using one peck of seed to the
 acre. Frequent shallow cultivations are given and the sorghum Is kept growing rapidly. When 1t is about the right stage to make into pnolasses, that is, when the seed is in the stiff dough, 1t is cut with a corn binder, run through a blow cutter, and put in the
 silo The silos used are of the com
 mon stave type. The cost of producing
 and storing sorghum silage is estimated
 at from 90 cents to $1.25 per ton, ac- cording to the yield secured.--C. W. Warburton, U. s. Department of Az riculture

 makes 1t possible for planters to drop a uniform number of kernels per hill and the importance of this consideration will increase as we in the South make the progress that we should make in the use of labor saving implements.
 While it will not be possible in select ing a large amount of seed corn to ex- anime each ear carefully for each one of these points, yet by studying few dozen ears critically with the help of these suggestions, one should after wards be able to decide almost at a glance the main excellencies or defects of each ear as he rapidly handles it. The point requiring most time for de- cision and one of the inost important Is the shape and vitality of the kernel. and some idea of this can be obtained by a glance at the shape of the kernel left on the ear and thus revealed after removing the tip and butt kernels, as in usually done before smelling seed corn.

Tree Protection Against Rabbits.

AFee FEotecItOn A8aAnst Rt4DbItss
 H. NJ. StringfeIlow in Farm and Ranch.
 As the time for the rabbit to get in It's work on fruit trees will soon be here, l will give your readers a pre- Venttve that several years of experi- ence has proved to be absolutely sure, yet harmless to trees. Professor Att wood of Virginia claims that the com- mon linseed oil and white lead paint Is safe and certain remedy. but for those who are afraid of the oil, If they will paint the bodies with "cold water paint and bitter aloes they will never have have a tree touched. This paint adheres just as we'll as oil paint and is perfect preventive against borers as well as rabbits. The cost is 10 cents q pound and five pounds will make a gallon of paint. Before mixing I find 1t best to run the paint. which is a dry, white powder, through a common sitter. Then add one cup or measure of cold water to two measures of the dry powder; stir thoroughly until the mix ture Is smooth and free from Jumps and looks just like ordinary flour bat ter; then thin down with cold water to about the consistency Of thick cream Don't make it too thin and never pour the powder in the water, as it will not mix Always pour the water on the powder, little by little, stirring well all the time until the batter forms.
 While found the plain paint a safe remedy the first season, to make it ab- solutely sure l pour a little boiling water over a nickers worth of bitter aloes and stir until we'll mixed, after which pour it into the paint and stir thoroughly as high as necessary, and draw the earth around the collar of the tree, paint thoroughly as high as nee- essarv and draw the.earth again around the tree. This will give perfect pro- lection for a year or longer against rabbits and borers. cutting out of course any that may be in the tree, be- fore painting.
 Where rabbits destroy vegetables or melon vines in spring, five pounds of paint and a dimes worth of the aloes prepared as described and added to fifty gallons of water will give perfect protection. One application Is all that is necessary as no amount of rain will wash it off, and, therefore, 1t should not be used on anything near maturity. The paint itself is entirely harmless to man or the tenderest foliage, even when applied thickly with a brush, which I did for experiment. but 1t makes the very best medium for every kind of poisoning spray as well as the Bor- deaux mixture. instead of lime or in ad- dition to it. As an experiment, I sprayed a plum tree in April and though the season has been the warm est for years. the leaves are still well | coated. consequently 1t should not be applied after fruit is half grown. Be- fore that it will scale off as the fruit swells, This cold water paint Is also excellent for all kinds of outhouses, fences and even dwelling houses. Sev- eral painted with 1t here three years ago look just as well as those on which ordinary paint was used,
