Fighting the Boil WeeviI.

The following is an extract from
a circular issued by S. A. Knapp
on the boil weevill.
You can gain confidence in your
ability to win out by simple illus
tration. Drop a few weevils into
the finely pulverized. hot dry soil
and in less than ten seconds they
will be dead. This emphasizes
the importance of the dust mulch.
Dry hot weather is the greatest
enemy of the; weevil, and at the
same time is the condition best
suited to the most rapid develop
mcnt of the plant provided a dust
mulch is maintained so as to pre-
vent the escape of moisture.
That this method will win has
been proven thousands of times.
We give Que instance from last
years experience. A field of Is
acres, plowed eight times and
hand-picked, produced II bales of
cotton at $50, equal to $500.
Another of 90 acres, plowed three
times, produced Is bales, equal to
$50. The first produced S46.15
worth of cotton per acre, while
the latter netted only 1888. The
man who plowed eight times re-
ceived compensation at the rate of
$50 per blowing. The other re-
ceived only S2.77, per blowing.
You can make cotton. As said
it remains with the in
dividual. If the people will make
the fight they will win.

PrOsp.ctOr in Death Valley.

With her hair bleached white by
desert heat and alkaIi and almost
reduced to wreck by suffering
through lack of food and water,
the most courageous woman pros
pector developed by the present
mining excitement reached San
Bernardino. She is Mrs. Helen c.
Ouigley and comes from Utah.
Nearly three months ago she left
Bullfrog, and has since been seek
ing treasure where few men have
dared to go, making hazardous
trip from the head of Death Valley.
For six weeks she saw no living
person, the only evidence of former
0rospectors who had braved the
waste being found in occasional
human skeletons. For two days
she urged her horse and pack mule
through the heat with but half a
canteen of water to drink and little
TO eat, and one day she passed in
4 lonely cave, fearing to go on
vwhile the sun beat down. In the
Funeral Range she was stricken
Nth fever. found by miners in the
nick of time and nursed through
weeks of delirium.
Mrs. Quigley prospected thor
oughly and located a ledge which
abe believes will make her fortune,
bringing rich samples. Undaunted,
she will at once retrace her steps.
Some of her ore shows fabulous
values, and she believes the entire
ledge will go $3.50 ton.

Spraying Potatoes.

e. ]. Butler, in the India Agricul-
tural Journal, gives an account of ex-
periments made in spraying potatoes.
Three plats were sprayed in dupli-
cate with Bordeaux mixture. One
plat was sprayed with plain Bordeaux
mixture, the second with Bordeaux
mixture to which n small quantity of
resln-soda solution was added, and
the third with Bordeaux mixture con-
tanning unrehned sugar Sixty gall
Ions per acre were applied at the first
spraying, and 12O gallons at each of
two other sprayings. 1t was shown
that the spraying resulted in a sub
stantial profit. The largest returns
were from the plats sprayed with the
Bordeaux mixture to which resin and
soda had been added, followed by the
Bordeaux mixture with sugar and the
ain Bordeaux.

Feeding Poultry.

A little study along this line will
go great way toward bringing suc-
cess. By combining in your bill of
fare for the hens green rye, clover,
or vegetables of some sort, with a
little beef scrap or animal meal, as
these will take the place of the grass
and bugs that the fowls would OBJ
tain when at liberty in the natural
laying season, the desired results
will usually be obtained. This diet
should be fed in the proper form,
have to scratch and work for the
most of their food. The soft food
should you desire to feed mash
should be mixed in crumbly state
and fed in troughs, but the birds
should not be given enough to sat
isfy their appetites. Grain should
be well scattered in their litter, so
as to induce exercise. Here hang
the results in cold weather, as the
nutrlment that is extracted from the
food must first be taken up by the
blood before it can be distributed to
the different parts of the body, and
surplus must be obtained to draw
on before satisfactory egg yield
can be expected. 1t makes quite
difference whether you are feeding
for market eggs or are wanting eggs
for incubation. Lack of fertility In
the eggs and chicks dead in the shell
are more often due to overlooking
of hens than to the male bird, which
is usually considered at fault.
In handling the breeds that have
tendency to take on fat at the ap-
proach of warm weather, excellent
results have been obtained by feed
ing light breakfast followed by as
much green food as can be eaten at
noon. For this prefer green rye or
alfalfa. The latter is one of the best
egg producing foods available to
poultry. A small patch of ground
sown to alfalfa, will make big saw

Start Young Farmers Right.

Many young men will begin farm
ing operation on their 'own hook"
this year, says Indiana Farmer. Their
success or failure depends upon how
well they put into practice the lessons
which science and practice both have
demonstrated during the past decade.
The tendency often is to turn ones
attention to the biggest money crop,
without planning for the maximum
profit of the ground for years to
come. One of the first things to learn
is that live stock will keep up the
fertility of farms. If lands are fertile
now, by proper management and by
rearing and feeding live stock, we
may be sure that our land is not
going back; for it will be kept in fit
condition to grow profitable crops for
many years. The kind of stock to
keep and their management must be
worked out by each individual, but
generally one does best with the kind
of stock he likes best. Then grow
good crops. Land we'll cultivated and
enriched year after year by all the
manure made upon the farm, supple
mented with legume crops, will give
maximum yields, under skillful til.
lage. In other words, be a first-rate
farmer. There are enough of the
second-rate kind.

HOW Weeds Gct scnttercd.

The importance of the invasion of
new weed pests into Iowa with seeds
brought from other States is fully
explained in bulletin No SO pub
lished by the Iowa station. During
the year 1906 about four hundred
samples of clover, alfalfa and timothy
seed were sent in to the station by
farmers from all parts of the State
to be tested for adulteration, impuri-
ties and vitality. Seeds of dodder,
Canada thistle, fox-tail, sheep sorrel,
dock and plantain were some of the
impurities revealed. The average ger
mination Of the alfalfa samples was
fifty-seyen per cent. Timothy seed
on the market shows that the status
of this seed is very low also, the per-
centage of plump-appearing seed
being close to sixty-four per cent.
OF 80 samples of clover examined
only two per cent. were found to be
pure, the average impurity being
about two per cent.-Weekly Wit

HOW TO CATCH FISH.

Now now are you to increase the
sport of the catching? OF course you
want the largest fish, and these are
usually the oldest and most wary.
This wariness you do not expect to
change, but you hope to defeat it.
Study the habits of the fish, where
and when and upon what it feeds or
what 1t seeks Let your fishing be
governed by your discoveries. And
while you are offering him what he
wants and when and where he wants
it, remember these old fellows are
fussy about their table-service. They
do not feel hungry If boy throws
ais shadow across their table, or
shakes it by rushing up to It, Stalk
your FISH then as quietly as you are
able, and if you have alarmed 1t in
any way stay out of sight and remain
as quiet as possible for a long time
until your ciumsiness is forgotten.
and let your lure, whether bait or fly,
drift into the fish's sight as If you
had nothing to do with 1t. And re-
member that the finer your tackle
the more likely this pretence will be
to succeed.
You want alse as good a fight as
you can get. Remember that the
fghting qualities OF fish are. rs a
rule, best developed in those which
live in rapid and turbulent water, and
in those which pursue their prey and
catch 1t by their own nimbleness.
But any fish will fgh. better II you
make the struggle more even by
using delicate tackle. You win then
only by dexterity OF handling, which
is one OF the great charms OF angling
and about the only one. as regards
the mere catching OF fish, on which
the experienced angler sets much
value. The secret Of success with
delicate tackle may be told in two
words--care and coolness. Care In
the preparation or the tackle. cool
ness In handling it."--From "Har.
per's Outdoor Books for Boys"

Rejoicing AIwavs.

The Rev. John f. Cowan says that
"One way to rejoice always is to pray
always; to give thanks for little
things. l defy anyone to begin the
day by thanking God for the light
that breaks into the bed-chamber,
and for the fresh morning air, and
for eight hours of rest, and for wa
ter to wash in, and keep that up, and
go down to breakfast doleful and dis

Farming by Book.

A. L. Baldwin of Richmond, Ind,
has demonstrated that it is possible
to farm by book" thereby proving
erroneous some of the most stubborn
contentious of veteran tillers of the
soil. Baldwin is principal of the
schools at Webster. He owns a farm
of eighty acres which, at the time of
his purchase, was considered ''indif-
ferent' land and not capable of good
results. Baldwin began farming
scientifically, according to rules down
by agricultural scientists. He worked
when he was not teaching and he
saw to it that everything done was
done at the proper time, and that no
duty to the soil was neglected.
Baldwin says his farm ledger
shows that his farm profits off eighty
acres amount to S1053.59 since jan
uary /, and by the time the year is
up he says the profits will be $4,000.
His neighbors admit that the little
farm is wonderful producer. Bald
wins general idea of farming is to
utilize every foot of a small farm,
rather than to own a big farm much
OF which is in idleness year after
year. Baldwin also believes in using
plenty OF fertilizer. It is an invest
ment, he says. which always pays

Reports on Rats.

The Department of Agriculture is
now bending its energies on the rats.
That is, they are telling us some won
derful tales about rats and the way
they increase. The experts of the
Department tell us that a single pair
OF rats. breeding without restraint or
losses by death, would in three years
be represented by ten generations
numbering 20,155,292. They are
very exact as to the figures. When
we reflect that uncounted millions Of
pairs are breeding In the country, all
the pests Of the farm sink into insig-
nificance as compared with rats. But
there Is no evidence that any one pair
ever did increase in this way In
three years, or the country could not
hold the crop which the whole army
would have produced. Farmers all
over the country know that rats are
a plague. and they are all the time
having TO hight the increase. There
must be a lull In the Department If

better than figuring up estimates of
the rat increase. II they know OF any
