Is Acres of Onions L L.
Texas Gulf Coast

q w. A. Mcneil planted twenty-eight
acres in onions at Santa Maria, Tex,
in the Gulf Coast Country. The yield
averaged 400 crates per acre, for which
he received $I.2o per crate, $3.50 an
acre. His total receipts from the
twenty-eight acres was $I3,44o. Pretty
good results from four months work.
GMr. Mcneil is no exception. Profits of
from $500 to 81 900 an acre are of common
occurrence in the Gulf Coast Country.
GAre you doing as well2 Why shouldn't
your Raising fruit and vegetables in the Gulf
Coast Country is simple anyone can do il.
few acres will be all you need. You can
buy it on easy terms and the first crop, il
properly cared for, should more than pay for
the land.
GThe Gulf Coast Country is a delightful
place in which to live. Mild, sunny winters;
gulf breeze cooled summers.
GInvestigate this proposition while the land
is within your reach-next year it will cost
more.

Three irons, one and one-half inches
thick and one inch wide are passed
under the tank and used to support
the bottom. They are shown at AAA.
These should come up at least four
inches at the side.
A trench eight feet long, twenty
inches wide, fifteen inches deep,
should be dug and the vat placed over
1t. The trench should be dug so that
the wind has straight draugnt under
the vat. Fill the vat two-thirds full
OF water. The scraping bench should
be set against the side of the vat.
Light chains, each about eight feet
long, are used to lower and raise the
hog into the water. These chains
should be fastened at the edge of the
scraping bench and should be placed
about two feet six inches apart. By
placing these chains above the vat,
says Prairie Farmer, the hog can be
lowered into the water, and wheu
scalded, can be readily removed.

The chickens destroy insect enc

Vat For scalding Hogs.

A very good vat for heating water
for scalding hogs can be made IN the
following manner: Take two two by
twelve planks and cut them SO they
are six feet on one edge and five feet
two inches on the other, edge. These
form the sides of the vat. the
ends take two pieces two by 'elve,
each plank three feet long. About
three inches from each end OF the two
sides cut a groove across two inches
wide and three-quarters of an inch
deep for the end of the sides to fit.
Holes should be bored at top and
bottom for half-inch bolts across the
ends to hold the sides in position.
The bottom of the vat Is made OF
sheet iron nailed to the bottom and
on to the vat. The vat should be
long enough to come around both
ends and fasten at top. and, also,
should be wide enough to come up
the sides for two or three inches.

Live Stock Notes.

Ever remember that good feed is
as important as good breeding. 1t
takes the two for the production OF
the best animals.
Men who do not like animals are
unlikely to make successfur breed
ers. They do not get interested
enough in their work or give it sui.
ficiert attention and study.
No matter what kind of females
are used for breeders use pure bred
sires always. A herd can be graded
up quickly by the use Of pure bred
sires If they are good individually.
Pure air and pure water are tive
inexpensive things, yet are tnyalua-
Bile to the live stock grower. Money
cannot be spent to so good purpose
for any kind of feed or pasture as II
can be to get pure air and pure water.

Breed For a Definite Purpose.

Breed For DehmCe purpose.
The advice to breed to beef sire
for beef and to a~dairy-bred sire for
dairy cows, is perfectly right. All
over the country. we read of men ad-
vocaelng that mythical animal, the
adual purpose" cow a jack-of-all-
trades, and never the best at either.
II man IS interest is in dairy pro-
ducts, ne should keep the breed that
has been for many generations bred
for dairy production, and avoid all
the heef breeds, for the Characters
tics that make an animal the best for
the dairy will always forbid its being
good beef animal. You may fatten
dairy-bred steer, and he may gain
in gross weight as fast as the best
beef bred one, but when he is slaugh-
tered you will find that instead Of
broad loins he will give you big lot
Of internal tallow, for there !s where
he has been bred to put his fat, just
as the cow of that breed has been
bred to put her fat into her milk.
Some lay great stress on the fact that
the 'arf-an'arf animal will bring good
veal calves, but fail to understand
that the veal has been more than
paid for in the loss Of dairy products.
On the other hand, If your interest
lies in beef, avoid dairy-bred ami
NAL, no matter if it is big Holstein.
for it is not mere size that makes the
beef animal, but the cara ,ity for
making the most valuable beef in
broad loins and heavy hind quarters,
both of which the dairy animal must
lack. The dairy type and the beef
type are totally distinct.-Professor
Massey.

II.

and a shed open front. to the south in
which to raise winter chicks?

r Have you learned that 1t is more
profitable to feed hens for eggs than han
for merely fat?
$50 w.
Why do you feed corn exclusively,
when variety of grain and an acre
of rye or alfalfa for green food will
fill your egg basket. even in winter?
".
s Why do you market the bulk OF
your eggs in summer at ten to fifteen
cents per dozen when you could with
best pure bred poultry and little
care sell them fresh in winter at
twenty-five to thirty-five cents?
VI.
why do you sell your Spring fry
ers," from June to August, at ten to
fifteen cents per pound. when you
might sell them In March and April
at thirty to forty cents per pound?
/ VII.
Why do you sell your surplus hens
and pullets at twenty-five to forty
cents each. when you could just as
readily sell pure breds at from 81 to
SO, and get much more for very choi
specimens?
VIII.
Why do you sell your male bteeu-
ers OF past season for TWENTY-FIVE
cents, when you could sell pure bred
ones for many times that amount?
!. IX.
Why don't you sell all your mon
grels this month, except about doz-
en- for mothers in spring, and invest
that money in pure bred stock, or
eggs for Matching at best season next
spring?
Why don't you act at once, before
price of market poultry declines and
price of pure bred poultry advances?
XI.
When you write to poultry breed
ers, why don't you state whether you
want to buy good utility fowls or the
very best exhibition fowls?
XII.
Do you know that no breed pro-
duces very large per cent. quite
we'll up to the standard in every way,
so why do you expect to secure these
at prices good utility fowls are worth?
XIII.
Do you know 1t is much more pleas
ure to care for flock Of beauties
than one of mongrels?
XIV.
Why don't sou interest your boys
and girls in poultry raising?
XIV.
Why don't you encourage item by
h giving them the poultry to care for,
and give them something worth their
care, have them keep strict account
of all expenses and all profits, and
give them a good poultry Journal to
read? !?
XVI.
you know this would he to
them a business education, a profit

pleasure than toiling in fields all day
long in summers heat?
XVII.
Do you know that encoura ging
