! A certain lawyer in Waxahachie
is on the warpath. He is out cunning
for the party who made bold a few
! days ago to demonstrate his artistic
slate which hangs just outside the
lawyers Office He declares that he
put the slate there for his own eXclu-
sive use. When he has occasion to
leave his Office he makes a notation
On the slate as to the hour of return.
This is for the sepcial information
of his clients and is not to be re-
garded by bill collectors. A few
days since he was called away from
his office on business. Alter closing
the office door he wrote on the slate
in bold letters this inscription, Will
return in a few minutes.
A wag came along before the
few minutes expired and added
the interrogation, What for?"
Those were the first words the
lawyer saw when he returned His
anger began to boil. He heaped all
sorts of excavations upon the head of
the miscreant. He said it was a
beastly trick of some contempt
rary who wanted to make the i'm
preston that he had no law practice
and that there was no real reason
why he should ever return to the
Office

At the Empire.

The Passion Play was on the can
vass last night at the Empire and 1t
is beyond doubt the most wonderful
reproduction presented in motion
pictures.
The pictures are the best to be
had and the film has been especially
hand-painted at an enormous ex-
pense which makes it far superior
to the productions Of this famous
historical event that have been pre-
scented here in the past.
The lecture by DR.. Van explaining
every minute detail of the Passion
Play and the little village of Ober-
amagau was very interesting and
we'll worth the price of admission.
Every one leaving the Empire last
night pronounced this production in
class to itself. Everyone should see
this beautiful production. 1t is be-
yond doubt the best lesson for the
children and they should not miss

On Time.

On I1mC-
ION time Is an inscription that
is printed on all advertising matter
and official literature used by the
Houston and Texas Central railroad.
The reputation made by the com
pany for running trains on time in
duce it to adopt these two little
words as its motto. So regularly
do the Central trains run on time
that farmers along the line regulate
their working hours by them Espe-
cially is this true of the farmers who
live near the road between Waxa-
hachie and Carrot. They set their
watches and clocks by the Waxaha-
chie-Garrett train, which makes
four trips a day in charge of Con-
ductor Clint Winkler. The women
folks start the midday meal by this
train. The farmers who do not car
ry chronometers to the field with
them know that it is just one hour
until IL O'Clock when the train make
| its return trip from Garrett to Waxa-
hachie They have figured out to a
mathematical precision just how
much work may be accomplished
| from the time the train makes this
/ trip until the hour for dinner But
this adjustment of affairs was knock
ed into cocked-hat the other day.
An accident occurred on the main
line that delayed the northbound
train more than one hour. There was
a corresponding delay for the
| 'jerk-water" train and it was near
| ly l O'Clock when it left Garrett. All
along the road farmers were still
blowing. They thought it was the
longest morning they had ever seen,
and when they reached home more
than one farmer found an irate wife
and a cold dinner.

To Make Vinegar.

Query-I desire information con-
corning the best method of making
cider vinegar.
Ans. After removing the juice
from the apples, it should be''carefully
drained, either through a clean cotton
muslin cloth, or some wire strainer
that removes the pulp. 1t is then
placed in barrels or kegs, and kept in
a cool cellar during the winter, and
in a shady, outside situation during
the winter time. A little. frost will
not hurt it, and you may keep it out
side the year through. Some sort of
a vent must be provided for the key,
so we generally bore two inch hole
in the top, or side, and insert long
necked bottle in this hole. This makes
it possible for the air to circulate back
and forth, and prevents the entrance
of insects. Cider kept in an ordinary
cellar requires from six months to
three years to come to good vinegar
condition; while if it is kept in
warm place, it requires from three to
six months. The barrels or sacks used
for it must be clean and free from
foreign substance, or you will have
peculiar flavor, and bad bodied vine
gar.

% for Spencer Seedless.

Query-What is the real value of
the Spencer Seedless apple?
Ans. Personally l have not had a
chance to taste a matured specimen of
this fruit, but judging from informa-
ton that l place above error, I do not
think it is very valuable. 1t seems
that good many of the prominent
horticulturists of the United States
have taken an adverse shot at it.
do not think that it can ever become
valuable for commercial purposes, and
am inclined to think that its only val
lie lies in its novelty, and the fact of
its being seedless.

Ans.-This plant is frequently
served the same as common lettuce.
Some people seem to like it, though
personally I would not care for it. Its
peculiar, yet pleasant favor seems to
attract many people. Before it is
ready for use it requires a little
bleaching, and this is done by loosely
tying the leaves together, as you
would a caulihower head, and letting
them bleach in the open ground. Use
the inner leaves, of course. This
plant may be stored in the winter
time and can be handled much the same
as celery. However, it cannot be
packed as closely together as the cell
cry plants, and must be kept moist,
but not wet. There are numerous
ways of serving this delicate plant,
and it is often true that after person
has tasted it few times, the flavor
becomes quite pleasing.

Try Arsenate of Lead.

Query Last season my cabbages
were ruined by green worms. Unless
l can discover way to check their

cabbage. Can you help me with your
advice?
Ans. Early in the season, spray
your plants with arsenate of lead or
Paris green, Just the same as you
would your fruit trees. Do this before
the worms get into the cabbages, else
YOU will be unable to reach them.

A Good Hedge.

Query-Please advise me relative
to the value of the California privet
as a hedge plant. What other hedges
would you suggest for me to try?
Ans. In our work at the Expert
ment Station, we have found the Cali
fornia privet quite satisfactory. 1t
succeeds remarkably WELL and where
it can be given fairly good care, we
are able to produce very acceptable
and attractive hedge in from two to
five years. There are number of
other ornamental plants that make
beautiful hedges, such as the Bush
Honeysuckle, the Golden Willow. The
Box, japanese Rose, and if you care
to put ur a trellis, the common Vir-
ginia Creeper is very valuable.

Almost Uncomfortable.


Query-How may control blossom
end rot' of tomatoes?
Ans. Blossom end rot, or "black
rot, as it is sometimes called, is an
almost uncomfortable disease of the
tomato. Pick off the diseased fruit
early in the season, as fast as it ap-
peares, and you will improve matters
somewhat. Any fruit that is at all
affected with this disease is entirely
unfit for use, and may as we'll be de-
stroyed at once. 1t is not advisable to
grow tomatoes on ground that grew
diseased tomatoes the preceding year,
as the disease is transmitted by the
fruit being left on the ground.
Shot Hole Fungus.
Query-What varieties of fruit does
shot hole fungus" attack? How can
it be checked?
Ans. This disease affects prunes
and gives trouble to some varieties of
/ N'ASAAAS9' SNNaSlOlldlly IL lTOuDlSS
peach trees. A good, thorough spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture given dur
ing the early part of June, or before
the disease shows itself in the fall
will control it. This disease occurs
both in the east and the west, and may
be treated the same way in either
place
Cause Of Potato Scab.
Query-What is the real cause OF
potato scab?
Ans.-The cause of potato scab i:
a small, fungus disease whose spores
remain in the ground year after year,
attacking the young tubers at variou:
stages of their growth. In fact, the
disease is a small plant itself which
grows as parasite upon the tubers
In most soils it can be treated with {
formaline solution.
Endive Is Good.
Query-Please tell me something
about "winter lettuce" or Endive
How is it generally served?

method. after planting you should har-
row quite frequently for few weeks.
/ usually harrow until the potatoes are
from four to six inches high. Then,
after the tops are too high to go over,
| follow with careful cultivation. You
should have no difficulty in growing
successful crops of potatoes on your
land.
