Pecan Growing.

Pecans belong to the hickory nut
family and are always in demand on
the city markets The trees are forest
plants growing to the height of Is to
$50 feet, having wide spreading
branches and oval top that make them
ornamental as we'll as profitable. Nuts
are borne much the same as the hick-
ory, and are oblong in general appear
ance They vary in size SO that the
weight ranges from 25 to 100 pounds.
The shells are very thin, making the
nuts easily cracked. The trees are ma
tive to the country south of parallel
40 in the United States, and are rap
idly coming to the front as CONNER
ciaI productions. Texas, Kentucky and
Oklahoma are noted for wild pecan
growth, but the commercial world is
supplied almost entirely from Texas,
Louisiana and California. The soil
best adapted to pecan culture is prob
ably the sandy loan of river and creek
bottoms where there Is plenty Of leaf
mold and the plant food necessary
for hardwood trees. Experienced men
report sandy loan with clay Of swamps
best, while the black lands Of swamps
come next in Importance. The clay
soils give earlier crops, but the nuts
are small and unstable.

Liqht-Weiaht Bauaaue,

In packing a suit case to carry

to remember that lightweight clothes
will make a lighter case. A kimono
of china silk will be feathers weight
and take UP small space, and for dress
occasions all that is needed will be a
gown of soft dark silk that will not
show wrinkles from much folding into
the compass of suit case. Two waists
may be worn with this skirt, one more
elaborate than the other; several
blouses to wear with your walking
suit, and the usual accessories. White

Corn Paws Well.

There are many years when cotton
farmers make no money; but who can
point to year when corn raised by
rational methods did not pay a rea-
sonable profit? There is always a
market for it, and bears do not manip-
ulate the market to the loss Of the
grower. The market is found right
on ones own farm and on the sur
rounding farms. Bears cannot mix up
with it. When the stover is saved
by rational methods-not by pulling
the leaVes-the slower has as much
feed value as the grain; and the south
is slow to realize this. If that idea
is made one Of the working rules Of
farm management, it will not be din.
cult to see how corn crop will yield
more net profit than cotton crop.
More net profit, mind you; we do not
care for the gross profit. II is the
money that farmer can lay away
that he should be interested in. A
cotton crop makes a big income, but
the big outgo is right here beside
the big income. With corn under good
management, there is relatively more
profit left behind; so much profit that
while corn will not replace cotton
as the great southern crop, it ought to
be close second and help to make cot.
ton raising more gainful. At least,
there will be none to dispute that
the raising of more cotton bodies i'll
for the south, while the raising of
more corn gives bright promise of
more prosperous south and more
thrifty farmers. Home-raised corn
will keep money right on the farm
where the corn is raised in the
southwest.

NEATNEss GREAT TIME SAVER.
Also Considerably Lessons Wear and
Tear on the Nerves.

1t is big boon to be born orderly.
It means such saving In wear and
tear on ones nerves.
There are some people who have the
desire for neatness, but lack in it's
execution. They can put to rights, but
not keep it up.
1t is easier to be born sloven than
one with a wish for orderliness allied
to the habit of misplacing.
That place for everything rule is
good one-if you don't forget the
place.
The woman who can find her belong
ings even in the dark is the one to tie
to-provided she doesn't achieve her
neatness by nagging and everlasting
prfmpiness,
That some girls bureau drawers
have cyclone-struck look may not
argue lack of orderliness SO much as
an overpressure of affairs. 1t is not
easy when every minute counts to put
things back in the exact spot where
they should go.
AS the bump of order is the greatest
time saver known, it is well, however,
for the busy girl to make strenuous
efforts to acquire it. 1t may take an
extra minute to put things where they
belong, but time is often reckoned by
hours when it comes to hunting them
where they don't belong.
Orderliness is good business asset:
the girl who can put her fingers on
notebook at an instant's notice, who is
not on a perpetual hunt Tor pencil,
eraser and other daily necessities, who
Las learned to classify her papers for
easy finding, rarely makes failure of
her career.

SOUTHERN
AGRICULTURE
: !: ! 1. ! ! + ! ss4s.**.
What Is Your Cow Worth?

We wish we could get every farmer
and every farmers son to take a day
off and figure out what his cow is
worth. That, of course, depends on
what you have in view in keeping her,
what work you expect her to do.
If you are milking her and she gives
lao pounds or less of butter fat, it is
very easy to determine what she is
worth for that purpose. On lands in
the corn belt it will cost from $28 to
$35 to keep COW during the year. If
she does not give more than that value
in butter fat, then for dairy purposes
she Is not worth a nickel. We give
the cost as above, because we notice
that in the COW censuses that have
been taken that is the estimated price
given by their keepers.
A COW not worth a nickel for dairy
purposes had best be allowed to raise
her calf; and then the question is
whether that calf at weaving time
will be worth $50. Ordinarily it will
be worth from $40 to SIS. Therefore
the question whether it pays to keep
an average cow for the chance Of an
average calf on lands in the corn
belt is easily determined.
Suppose, however, she gives 200
pounds of butter fat and say it is
worth one year with another 20 cents
a pound Then your cow is making
you profit in butter fat of about $40
year and giving you a calf, which,
after deducting the cost of feeding it
until it is six months old, is worth
SO to $12. Then you have the skim
milk, say 1000 pounds, worth from
Is to 20 cents per 100 pounds, de-
pending on the price of corn, or from
Sc to SO. You still have the manure,
which if properly cared for is worth
Sc a year. If your COW gives still
larger amount of butter fat than this
you can very easily estimate the pro-
ft
What We are aiming at now is to
get farmers to thinking about this
question: What is your cow worth?
How are you to find out? Why, there
is only one way; and that is to take
time to weigh the milk often enough
to determine how much each cow gives
durig the year, and then test it often
enough to determine the actual amount
of butter fat each gives. If We can
only get you to do this the rest will
be easy, but until farmers who are
pretending to dairy at all take this
matter up and determine what the
cow Is worth it is useless to expect
any great improvement in the dairy
business.

Dairy Dots.

Don't ask an under fed cow to yield
a full flow Of milk.
Begin spraying the cows as soon as
the flies begin to come.
Never mix fresh warm cream with
that which has been cooled.
It takes a little time to spray milk
COWS with fly dope, but it pays.
Dairy farming is one of the most
profitable branches of husbandry.
Treat the hand raised calf like a
baby. That is the sum and substance
of success.
A man who will not clean a separa,
tor properly should be separated from
it at once.
A scrub cow never died from milk
fever. Don't be afraid to feed because
Of that trouble.

Spies Hired by Both of the Goulds

1t win be alleged, according to re.
port, that Mr.. Gould has for several
years been training this woman's
voice for the grand opera stage under
the best masters in Europe, and that
she accompanied him on long cruises
on his yacht. A specific act Of mis-
conduct with the young woman will
be alleged to have taken place three
or four years ago at Sidney, N. s.
There will be much testimony from
former members of the Helenita crew.
This, it is said, was only one of a
number of acts of misconduct to be
charged by Mrs. Gould against her
husband.
Mr.. Gould has had his wife shad-
owed for a long time, though it was
not until her old butler, Paul, found
one of the jealous husbands paid
agents peeking through a keyhole that
even the servants suspected the house
was filed with private detectives.

Of the Goulds say, Mrs. Gould has
spies in her husbands establishment
and the husband has spies in his
wife's.

How to Drive Out Your Rats and Mice.

How to Drive Out Your Rats and Mice.
Get a 10-cent can of concentrated 1ye
and sprinkle it literally in every rat
or mouse run possible. Do this about
twice q year.
Rats, as is well known, frequent
moist places beneath floors, and their
feet are always moist. AS soon as they
step on the lye it causes their feet to
burn: then they lick their feet, and
there is more burn; If they smell of it
there is still more burn; and they i'm
mediately emigrate. This have
found far more effective than traps,
dogs, cats or poisons, and it does as
well for mice as rats.
Here is another idea. which, while
not original, is much value, as little
bit of prevention is worth lots of cure
If the farmers will have on hand a
few pounds of pulverized sulphur, and
sprinkle some over their corn as they
are putting it in the cribs they will
have few or no mice or rats in the
corn. The sulphur does not affect the
corn In the least, even for meal
