The present year goes on record as
one in which white clover has grown
luxuriantly and abundantly. Whether
this fact is due entirely to favorable
winter conditions or to these coupled
with abundant moisture cannot be
stated. In any event, there is lots of
it, which is cause Of rejoicing on the
part of live stock and bees and will
mean extra dollars in the farmers and

THE LEAK IN WEEDS.

A great benefit resulting from early
stacking OF TIE grain Is that if sheep
are OH the place and it Is properly
fenced they can be turned on to the
stubble and will devoyr and destroy no
end OF weeds. thus keeping them from
maturing a big crop of seed. Where
there are no sheep the same result
can be attained by an early plowing of
the stubble. This will kill weeds about
to seed as well as mature other weed
seed in the soil. Not the least of the
leaks on the average farm is the an
nual loss sustained in the work OF
fighting weeds and in the toll which
they take on the fertility of the soil
Hence any method by which the weed
nuisance can be abated should be
pushed vigorously and persistently.

that, while this years crop is 1876 pc

nevertheless far enough below th

A recent report published by the
Dominion dairy commissioner contains
interesting figures touching the growth
of the dairy business in Canada. The
country has at present 4,315 creamer-
les and cheese factories, there being
1884 in the province Of Ontario, 2,S06
in Quebec and 2S6 in the seven other
provinces. The first cheese exported
from Canada was sent to Great Brit
ain in 1864, while the maximum value
Of Canadian cheese and butter exports
reached the highest point in 1908,
when their aggregate value was $751;
667,561. About 10000 people are di-
rectly engaged in the manufacture Of
cheese and butter, while 100000 pa
irons furnish milk and cream to cheese
factories and creameries. Figuring
100 acres to each farm, there are ap-
proximately 100000 acres Of land
upon which this milk is produced.

A farmer residing in the community
in which the writer lives has a reputa-
ton for miles around for the uniform
~ good crops which he raises. This is
especially true of his corn crops. We
learned the other day one Of the secrets
of his success. At time when other
good farmers in the neighborhood had
cultivated their fields of corn three or
four times, he had gone over his seven
times. He deemed this necessary this
year. because Of frequent driving, heavy
rains which packed the ground and
caused It to bake in the sun. The ex-
ira tending given this field Of corn has
already put it ahead from ten days to
two weeks, which insures sound! and
mature crop Of corn even in case of an
early killing frost. A general charac-
terfstfc of this mans management of
his farm work is that he is, as rule,
forehanded with his work rather than
behind with it and having it drive him.
This way Of doing makes work more
profitable in dollars and cents as well
as more satisfactory

People often wonder, particularly
those who have Travelled for hundreds
of miles through the corn belt, what
becomes of the enormous amount of
corn which is grown every year. The
Crop Reporter for June seeks to an
swer this query. Some Of the statis-
tics presented are of interest In the
year 1899, when the total crop was
1885, 100000 bushels, 241 100000 bush,
els were consumed in -four and grist-
mill products, 100000 bushels in the
manufacture of starch, 100000 for
malt liquors, 100000 bushels in the
production of distilled liquors, 100000
600 for glucose, 19O,0OO,000 for export
and 100000 for seed, making total
of 519,O00,000 bushels, or 1913 per cent
of the entire crop. The remaining SO.7
per cent, or 2, ,14S 100000 bushels, seems
to have been used almost entirely for
feeding purposes 1t is an interesting
| fact that about so per cent of the
corn crop grown, roughly the above
amount. was shipped out Of the coun,
ties in which it was grown.

Science has recently dispatched an ex-
pedition into, district in northern ST.
IBERIA for the purpose Of excavating
the remains of mammoth which has
been discovered 200 miles from the vii
lage of Kasachia. The head and a
part Of one leg were exposed through

had begun to eat the flesh found adj

the mammoth are to be transported
over the first stages of the journey by

Careful Investigations by the depart

growing states show considerable
and very satisfactory decrease in the
numbers of the cotton boil weevil,
which is by all odds the worst pest
that the growers Of this great staple
have to contend with. While the de-
crease in number Of the insects may
be due in part to causes not known. a
considerable portion Of the change is
thought to be due to the unfavorable
weather last fall, especially to the first
early killing frost

In a recent installment of these

sugar box, feeding on the sugar by day
and roosting on the tansy at night.

of w. J. Bryan is to be made by Will
liam H. Taft This decision was an
nounced by the republican candi-

item from the south to the effect
that Mr.. Taft had bought horse, it
was learned that while riding with
General Corbin last week, when a
sixteen-mile ride was accomplished,
the big saddle horse which Mr.. Taft
has ridden for some time in Wash
ington, and which he brought here
suddenly developed ankle weakness
and Mr. Taft was thrown. He sus-
tained no injury and made no men

day he admitted that he believed he
would be more comfortable hereaf-
ter on ahorse of sturdier build Gen
eral Clarence R. Edwards, chief of
the insular bureau of the war de-
partment, is on the lookout for such
a horse, with authority to make a
purchase when found.

A Modern Structure VIII Be Erected
Here by the katy.

1t will be gratifying news to the
people of Waxahachie to learn that
active work has at last been COM
menced on the Katy's new passen-

some time that the building was to
be erected this fall. but the exact
date for the work to begin could not
be learned.
Last night two foremen with a
large force of men arrived in the city
to begin the work of moving the old
building out of the way. Another
force of men, the chief engineer and
the boarding cars arrived on the
southhound local today at II o'clock.
The work of moving the old build
ing was commenced this afternoon.
The structure will probably be NOV
ed across the street toward the
freight depot where it will be used
until the new building is ready for
occupancy.
The new building will be con-
structed of brick and will be larger
than the Trinity and Brazos Valley
passenger station. The cost will be
about 5000. 1t will contain sever
al waiting rooms, a room for train
men, separate rooms for baggage
and express and ticket office.

Valley route only few months, the
business offered it by the Rock Is
land, Frisco and Fort Woth and
Denver Much of the outbound ton
mage brought into Fort Worth by
these lines were turned over to the
International and Great Northern
and the Houston and Texas Central
for movement on to Galveston, and
the Yoakum interests lost the haul
for this distance. But Colonel Green
figured that it would be better to
defer the handling of all this busi-
ness than to give poor service and
give the new line a bad name. So
he handled only that which could
be cared for ON good time and de-
clined the remainder, leaving it for
other roads. But this year things are
different. The Valley Route claims
to be fully equal to the situation ex-
pected next fall and winter The

good service and fair speed are be-
ing accomplished And good service
is pledged on all the vast tonnage
that the three Yoakum lines will
bring into Fort Worth and turn over
to the Valley route.

ready feeling the effects of a rapid
ly growing traffic and only yesterday
called for the return of ten huge To-
comotives loaned to the Denver
road and Rock Island during the re-

With this motive power back of the
line the Valley route will be the
master of the situation.
