 What sort Of foods would best sup- ply the material to enable our horse to build up his worn out muscles? At present prices of food stuffs in most sections of Mississippi. cotton seed meal would be the best concentrate or grain food. Instead of adding four pounds of corn to the ten pounds we
 were already feeding, we ought to have added two pounds of corn and two
 pounds of cotton seed meal That is twelve pounds of corn and two pounds Of cotton seed meal will give us bet ter results. and the grain ration will cost us one-seventh less, than four. teen pounds of corn. This. of course especially applies when the rough for

 one-fourth pounds of pea vine hay are worth as much for feeding as one I pound of wheat bran. If wheat bran ! is worth s25 per ton, this gives a val. l lie of s20 per ton to pea vine hay
 Therefore, since we have said that two the place of four pounds of corn and corn fodder, 1t is apparent that either pea vine hay, or cotton seed meal. oi both. should be used to balance the ra. tion of our hard working animals that

How to Kiii Bermuda srass.

Southern Huraffst.
 I note that w. s. E.. of Austin.
 Texas, makes inquiry through your
 January isue how to kill out Bermuda grass. Having had some experience
 with the grass and having gained more
 by observation. I venture the foliow-
 ing; E. Til, o,, Bermuda grass break your land shallow, very shallow, when it Is dry; the drier the better. Always remember that deep blowing and lots of moisture Is the life of the plant; !; therefore. govern your licks according and strike while the sun shines hot. If you plow deep, using turning blow you will never get rid of 1t. I have effectually annihilated Ber-
 muda grass from well set plots in one season by the method indicated above. This, however. is not often accom- plished in so short time. It usually takes from two to four years and some times longer. see no reason why W. S. E., might not make fair crop of corn or cot ton while he is battling with his grass. We once had a Bermuda grass pasture infested with bitter-weeds bitter-weed will kill out Bermuda grass in time.l We broke up the ground and planted to corn Used scooters, shovels and | turn blows to cultivate; couldn't use anything else (mind you we were not 1 trying to kill the grasso The last blowing 1t got was two furrows In the middle with turn blow. We got | good crop of corn. a~l
 A negro once cultivated twenty-five or thirty acres of Bermuda grass land adjoining me. His crops of corn and cotton, especially, were above an aver age for the negro farmers about | him. He pIowed his land shallow. l just drug through it. but went often. | After a few years you could find but | little Bermuda grass there.
 The lands referred to here were mostly deep sandy lands; some of them were made lands.
 I think if w. s. E.. will try shal- low, frequent blowing during dry
 weather, using the harrow often, he will soon master his grass, If not XIII 1 if altoGether.

are also indications that the weevil will never become so destructive north Of the latitude of Greenville, Winona, and Columbus as south of that line. But that eventually it will adapt itself to the cooler localities and higher lati- tudes until finally it covers the entire cotton growing area. is the opinion Of those that have studied it most care fully and thoroughly.
 Such being the case we cannot be- gin too early to study the problem and prepare to meet 1t. We shall have the advantage of the methods already being tried in Texas and Louisiana; and in future article I shall attempt to discuss these methods as briefly as possible.

It will be noticed that the proposed ration fits the standard" almost ex- actly, except it is deficient in quanti- ty of dry natter" To my mind It is just to that extent q better ration for hard working horse than in the standard" For I believe we feed our horses and mules too much hay. In fact, I believe the ration would be improved by reducing the corn fodder to eight pounds and increasing the corn to eleven pounds.

corn not for theoretical perfection of form of ear but for yield per acre. A high yield makes up for multitude of
 defects in form. Nevertheless. we
 should endeavor to obtain both that and the form that is usually recognized as
 most conducive to high yield and quail
 ity of grain.
 Dear Sir--Your letters of october Ard
 are at hand. The only way to destroy
 weeyil in corn is to place the grain
 in tight crib or bin and treat dt with
 carbon bisulphide. This is liquid
 which poured into vessel placed upon the top of corn heap, and the whole covered with cloth. rapidly turns to va
 DOT, which vapor is very poisonous to
 insect life and also highly infiammabie l It is heavier than air and hence needs to be placed near the top of the pile. We store our corn in the ear, but hnd that even in that condition, treatment with this material helps greatly How ever it pcnetrates to the weevii much better when the corn is shucked For shelled. It Is desirable to repeat the treatment several times after warm weather begins. as we'll as to make one application soon after storing. Prob ably five pounds of the liquid would be
 sufficient for one application for 800
 bushels. A low grade of carbon bisul-
 phide for this use is sold at about $o per fifty pound can. plus s1.50 for the can and plus freight from Ohio or New York. Doubtless your druggist would order 1t or sell you small amounts at a higher figure.
 Answering your inquiry, would say that Mr. Wm. Mumford, Uniontown, Ala, has q small flock of Angora goats.
 To improve the condition of your cattle I can only recommend that you keep down tick infestatien py frequent use of grease. for example, cotton seed oil and that you give some grain food, cotton seed or cotton seed meal to your unthrifty thoroughbreds in addition to their pastures.

Two GIGANTIC ARMIES FIGHTING.
A Million Men Engaged IN the Battle
Of Mukden.


IA Million Men Engaged IN the Battle
Of Mukden.
1t was announced last week that
fully 100000 men were engaged in
the bloody conflict near Mukden. This
estimate is probably rs per cent too
large. The aggregate Of combatants
and noncombatants may have been a
million, but the number Of men
actually engaged in fighting was con
siderably below that figure.
1t was announced several weeks ago.
from a reasonably reliable source that
enough reinforcements had been sent
to General Kuropatkin since the bat
ties of Liaoyang and the Shake to
place the effective strength of the Rus
SLAMS at about $50, 900 men. This agrees
approximately with more recent dis
patches which placed Kuropatkin's ar
my at a little more than 100000 men.
comprising $4,000 cavalry, $4,000 artiI-
lery and $4,000 infantry.
These figures make no allowance
for death, wounds or disability as the
result Of sickness. 1t is d well known
fact that more men in an army die or
are disabled from disease during a
campaign than are killed or disabled
by the IRE of the enemy The list Of
invalids is always large. and If the
dead, wounded, physically unfit and
those engaged in mental capacities
were eliminated from Kuropatkin's to-
tai fighting force it would probably be
found that he has had not more than
$4,000 effective soldiers.
At the close of the lighting last fall
it was estimated that Field Marshal
Oyama had 275,0OO regular soldiers.
Since then it is believed that he has
been reinforced by $4,000 reserves. BY
the fall Of Port Arthur it is said that
100, 900 men under General Nogi were
released, and that after detaching 30,-
900 for garrison purposes, 10000 were
sent to Oyama. This would give the
Japanese commander 42O,vuO men,
without making allowance for death
wounds or disease. Obviously, such
} an allowance should be made, but
there has been no such mortality
among the Japanese during inactioI
as among the Russians, and it would
be safe to put the Japanese fighting
strength at from $4,000 to $4,000
greater than that Of the Russians dur
Z ing the last terrific conflict.
