The Cotton Boil Weevil.

Encouraging results are announced by the Bureau of Entomology from it's recent careful examination to deter mine the present status of the boil Weevil. The bureau examined some 10 localities in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi. Arkansas and Oklahoma, all infected by the cotton boil weevil. In each locality from two to five representative fields were selected, and in each one of these fields groups of plants were examined. Estimating the number of plants to
 he acre, it was easy then to compute
 he number of weevils to the acre. This plan has been followed for sev- eral years, so that the comparisons can now be made with conditions ex- isting in previous years. The number of weevils is shown to be much small CT at this time throughout the infected area than it was at this time last year, due primarily to the unfavorable weather last fall, especially the very early first killing frost. In Eastern Texas no weevils were found, whereas last year there were 226 per acre. In southern Texas the weevils stand 256 now, as against sos last year; in vest ern Texas, II against 101. In Louis- jana IA of the insects were found as against against 4S5 last lear. In Ok lahoma no weevils were found. The figures are for comparison only and will not, of course, stand for the en- tire season, as the insects may not have emerged from Information ip such numbers as to have been detect ed

Proof Positive.

There is usually some convincing ar gument to a question of doubt, if one is only bright enough to think of it at the time of controversy. The farmer was able to produce the indisputable without delay of circumlocution. A number of people were gathered round the bulletin board of the Read ing Eagle, on which was announced Death of Frank Miller
 Two farmers from the extreme backwoods were gazing at the various items of news, when one of them spied the lugubrious statement and pointing it out to his rustic comrade, remarked innocently:
 Tt says on that board: Death of Frank Miller Is that you?"
 "No," replied the other, in all seri- ousness. My name is John."

Bean Culture.

The raising of white beans fs great industry in many sections and it is profitable, because the output is as much staple as wheat or corn. Like these crops it is a food stuff which has keeping quality.
 The bean growing industry has gravtated to the poorer lands, so that but little of it is found in the corn belt. And yet there are places in the corn belt, and many of them, where beans might be grown to advantage. Sandy knolls or worn out fields which will only make twenty bushels of corn per acre will return a greater cash product if planted to beans.
 Bean culture was once considered very laborious, but it is not neces- sarily so now. By the use of modern machinery it is made easy. They may be planted with a two-horse corn plant CT, cultivated with riding blows and weeders, pulled when ripe, thrashed and even sorted by machinery.
 To make the most of the space the hills mays be only six inches apart, but the rows should be wide enough to permit horse culture. When planted in this way and carefully cultivated if the ground is free from weeds the crop may be carried through by horse power. But if the soil is foul one hand hoeing will be needed. The crop is loaded from the puller into hay racks, and hauled to the barn. Spread upon the barn floor or loft, it will be ready for thrashing after two weeks of dry weather. Before marketing sorting is absolutely necessary.
 The old plan was to get the family together in the evening about the kitchen table and each by handfuls picked out the bad specimens. But the modern bean sorter is a small ma chine and cheap, which you may take into any room. The motion is controll- ed by treadle and a slowly moving canvas carrier brings the beans to .your hand as fast as you can look them over, one spry man doing the work of five by the old system.

CUTIcURA CURED FOUR
Southern Woman Suffered with Itch ing, Burning Rash-Three Little
 Babies Had Skin Troubles.

"My baby had a running sore on his neck and nothing that did for it took effect until I used Cuticura. My face was nearly full of letter or some sim liar skin disease. It would itch and burn so that I could hardly stand it. Two cakes of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment cured me. Two years after 1t broke out on my hands and wrist. Sometimes I would go nearly crazy for it itched so badly. I went back to my old standby, that had never failed me-one set of Cuti- cura Remedies did the work. One set also cured my uncle's baby whose head was cake of sores, and another baby who was in the same fix. Mrs. Lillie Wilcher, TO Eleventh St., Chat tanooga, Tenn, Feb. 16, 1907."

k.ep Trying.

If boys should get discouraged At lessons or at work. And say, There's no use trying" And all the hard tasks shirk. And keep on shirking, shirking, Till the boy becomes a man, l wonder what the wssld would do To carry out it's plan? The coward in the conflict Gives up at first defeat; If once repulsed, his courage Lies shattered at his feet. The brave heart wins a battle Because through thick and thin He'll not give up as conquered He fights, and fights to win. So, boys, don't get disheartened Because at first you fail; If you but keep on trying, At last you will prevail; Be stubborn against failure, Try, try and try again; The boys who keep on trying Have made the worlds best men.

Product of Six Ewes.
Iowa sheen grower saws:

An Iowa sheep grower says:
 One lamb to the eve, and that is certainly low estimate, would mean six lambs at $3 per head, or SIS for the lamb crop. One dollar and fifty cents per head is certainly not too high for an estimate on wool, which would amount to S9 for six ewes. Add ing this to the SIS for lambs gives 6 total of $27, and as proof that 1 have given the sheep the worst of the es- innate, I could cite you many focks that have given double these returns from a merely market standpoint. l will venture the statement that not a fockmaster will agree to contract the income from his flock at these figures"

The Hou That Is AlWeys Staple

All admire a good-looking hog, ana should not go with the highest useful ness, but neither good looks nor fancy breeding should stand for a moment in the way of the hog that combines vigor of constitution, eyewitness, and reasonably early maturity with form pleasing to the eye. When we come to the final test of beauty, pretty is as pretty does" The prettiest hog, after all, is the one that is most profit able; the one that makes the most and best pounds of gain from a hun dred pounds of the most inexpensive dry matter; the one that makes the largest contribution toward providing for the family necessities; toward meeting the interest on the mortgage, and to paying the mortgage itself; for the addition to the house, the new carpet, the piano or organ, the new dresses for the girls, or their educa- tion at school.
 If the breeders of any breed depart from the practical hog they make a mistake, for sooner or later the con- nonsense farmer will demand the common-sense hog, and will waive any preference he may have for particu- lar color of hair, curl of tail or droop of ear. If breeders of any breed de- part from this for any considerable | about it, but they will buy some other breed that more nearly meets their requirements.-F. D. Coburn.)
