Letter From Texas.

DALLAS, Tex, June A, 1907.
Dear Register Friends This land
of sunshine and roses is just now
in the threes of a rainy season,
and mud! Not nice clean clay
mud, that leaves a pretty (?) red
brown stain on your garments, but
sticky, black wax, that is as hard
to get off as glue. However, the
sun comes out a few minutes every
day to let us know that he still
shines behind the clouds. This
morning, having occasion to go
down town we took a street that
was new to me, and driving along
on the cement pavement we could
forget for a little while that there
was mud everywhere else. Many
of the streets are being paved now
with cement.
Dallas is always in stir about
something. Last week it was a
city election. A mayor and four
commissioners were elected. They
have done away with aldermen
and chosen commissioners instead.
I do not know just why, but it is
in the interest Of better govern
ment. Instead of there being the
two parties, Republican and Demo
cratic, as in the State election, il
was the Citizens Association, the
old mayor, and independent can
didate. The Citizens Association
won, electing mayor who bears
a good reputation; at least to oul
way of thinking.
The public schools closed to-
day, and the children are glad to
be free until the middle of Sep
tember. Every opening for boys
in store and factory is filled with
applicants, for even the boys who
do not need the money are anxious
to be in the business world.
Any lover of mission work has
enough to satisfy her here. Rev
t A. F. Hardie, from Campinas,
Brazil, is to give an address in oul
Colonial Hill church this after
noon, and the City Mission Union
meets in the Central Presbyterian
church at the same time. One has
to choose between the two. The
court has just built a chapel or
the county farm for the use of the
| county poor. The mission work
ers of the different churches have
furnished it and provide preaching
every Sunday. The chapel was
dedicated last Sunday, and many
of the ladies, who have been active
in securing it's erection, took 9
picnic lunch and they had an all
day service. 1t was indeed a red.
letter day to the poor.
We we're greatly shocked il
reading the REGISTER that week il
which 1t recorded the death of siz
residents lin the Valley. There
have been SO many deaths this
last year, it scarcely seems like
the same placeI left nine months
ago.
| How widely scattered are the
pupils who attended Arcadia Col.

MAIDEN BLUSH APPLE.
1.-THE fruit shows effects of apple blotch.l
vaded Ire being dwarfed by the ac-
the apple results In a cracking Of the
fruit similar to that produced by the
apple scab fungus. The cracks range
from one-fourth to one inch in length
and frequently extend almost to the
center Of the apple. 20
In extreme cases a crack may almost
encircle the apple, practically dividing
1t in half. and n crack may intersect
another, forming a cross. Fruits only
slightly affected with the disease may
go through the season without devel-
Oping cracks. These are more COM
monty developed shortly before the
fruit natures, though a few may occur
earlier In the season. The skin being
thus broken, the fruit becomes an easy
prey to other fungi and soon goes
down in decay. AS a rule. the affected
fruit drops prematurely. and the un-
sprayed Ben Davis trees left as checks
in the demonstration blocks at Benton
vile, Ark. shed 80 per cen of their
crop some days before picking time.
Infection does not begin to take place
until the fruit is nearly half grown.
The blotch was first observed on the
check trees June 26, and only a few
affected fruits could be found on that
date. On July 16 a large percentage of
the Ben Davis apples was affected. and
by the middle Of August it was clearly
seen that the crop was practically lost.
1t developed first on fruit on the lower
branches and within the shaded por-
tons of the tree, but finally spread to
almost the entire crop.-W. NJ. Scott.

Farmer Vincent's Chick Talk.

Keep the dishes neat and clean that
the little chicks eat and drink out of.
You may save their lives that way.
Little chicks love milk as we'll as the
older ones. And how it makes them
grow! Ever try it?
1t is poor policy to keep the little
chicks all the time on one kind Of food.
You would not like that yourself. Set
a shallow vessel near the coops and
into it put some sour milk. See how
they will run for it and notice how
much faster they will grow too.
Take pains when feeding the little
chicks to keep the older fowls away.
They will rob the little ones if they
possibly can. 1t is a good plan to have
a hole, near the top of the coop through
which one may drop the food for the
chicks. Then, if one cannot stay to
keep the hens away, a board may be
set up in front Of the coop so that
they cannot get in behind i~t.-Philadel-
phia Farm Journal.

Best Cows Are Cheapest.

The high priced COW is not so eX-
pensive as she seems in view Of what
she produces. The average cow pro-
duces milk or butter to the value of
$3.50, and she costs SOL a year, reck-
oning that the manure she produces
offsets the care given her. This shows
that the cow does not do a great deal
toward raising the mortgage on the
farm. Assuming that it costs no more
to keep a good COW than a poor one.
the figures will show that the good
COW is relatively cheaper. The aver
age COW will produce 5000 pounds Of
milk a year. while a choice COW will
produce as high as 10000, meaning a
profit of 1926 against the almost even
balance sheet of the average cow.
while Pieterje H., a Holstein. has a
record of 10000 pounds of milk a
year. which would make a profit Of
$1.O5O.-Professor Cooley in American
CultivatOr.

RICE FOR POULTRY.
An Exceptionally Valuable Food Which
Is Too Often Overlooked.

Boiled rice is a good summer food
for growing bantams, says the Fea,l-
er. Wheat and oats, so profusely rec
commended as a feed for bantams, con
tain too much protein and make them
grow too fast, while rice. which is less
nutritious, as to bone and flesh form
ing elements is better fo- them. In
raising Cochin bantams we have used
large amounts of boiled rice during the
summer months. In fact, often for
days they received no other food than
this. Wheat contains more than 10
per cent of protein, rice AZ per cent,
wheat SO per cent carbohydrates, rice
y per cent. Rice is good for bantams,
good for fattening fowls if you wish
white meat, but it is of but little adj
vantage as a food for large sized poul-
try, that you wish to develop quickly.
Cracked rice may be fed to a limited
extent to young chicks under three
weeks old. \ little of it may be used
with profit for squad growing, but it
cannot be depended upon as a thor
oughly good food for poultry.

LARGE EIocks Of Fowls.

So many who have excellent success
with a few fowls meet with failure
when they increase their numbers. and
they are at a loss to know the reason,
remarks a writer in Iowa Homestead.
Generally they fail to increase their
accommodations in proportion to the
increase in the flock. They fail to rec
ognize the fact that large flocks are
difficult to feed, SO that each individ-
ual may secure its allotted share: that
various ailments have to be guarded
against where large focks are kept
that are comparatively unknown among
moderate sized 1ocks; that large focks
require much attention.

A FALSE idea is abroad that
there is q two.cent railroad rate
in force in this state. This is
not So. The reduced rate does
not apply to travel within the
state. On interstate travel how
ever q two cent rate is given on
the distance travelled in Mime
sofa. The new rates are figured
by charging three cents to the
state line and two cents for the
balance of the distance travelled
In Minnesota. To allpoints with

Great Tb;no For Fruit Growers.

It would be a great thing for fruit

guish sharply between apples for diff

recommendable for dessert may still

poses. 1t is not SO much a question

The effect Of this neglect was generally

there being no crop. whereas in well
cared for orchards the yield has in

Diseases and Insects.
AS a rule sufficient attention has not
been given to the control of diseases
and insects, and under such conditions
these have become quite abundant and
destructive. While numerous orchard
lists have supplied themselves with
spraying outfits and have sprayed their
trees. many very soon abandoned the
practice. not having secured satisfac-

appears to have bcen lack of informa-
