BIG SHOPS AT FORDYCE
Believed to Mean important Changes
And Developments I'm Railroad
Business In SoNthern
Illinois.
(Repuhlican.Eral.


1t is announced that the Iron Noun
| tain Railroad Co. has decided to
double sleir track. or parallel. from
the Thebes bridge terminal 10 East
ST. Louis, and thus establish a trunk
line leading north to the metropolis.
Work of construction of the same
was commenced at Thehes Monday
and will be pushed 10 completion dur
ing the coming summer.
Heretofore the heavy traffic from
the south on the Iron Mountain, Mis-
souri, Pacific and Cotton Belt sys,
TENS has conyerged south of the Mis-.
sissippi river near the Thebes bridge
approach and extensive delay has
been caused for the reason that the
single main of the Iron Mountain
north, afforded the only outlet to
East st, Louis and was not sufficient
to prevent the congestion of freight
at Thebes, owing TO the time allowed
on the schedule of south-bound trains
When the track is doubled this will
mean an open right-of-way for all
trains, north or south and aside from
increasing the freight capacity will
make fast and through passeuge:
schedule possible.
This move on the part Of the Iron
Mountain railway is attracting gen
eral attention from the officials of
the several railroads which touch up
on southern Illinois, and it is the
opinion that when the Iron Mountain
has completed its present move that
The directors of several other railroa
systems which make heavy shipments
from the south with right-of-ways
and near the Mississippi
valley country will open negotiations
for the privilege of right-of-way over
what will be the direct lead north |
to East St Louis and the freight dis |
rributing point at st. Louis. Anoth- |
er reason which will tend to make |
the double lead from Thebes look
good to heavy shippers is the fact

MANAGEMENT OF
YOUNG SHOTES
Unique Az Well As Useful Idea
Concerning Little Pigs.

The following is rather unique as
we'll as useful idea concerning the
weaving of pigs without apparent dan
ger of injuring either the litter or the
mother. AS quoted in the last report
of the Nebraska state board Of agri-
culture, the author says:
It is best to wean pigs when they
are two months old, but wean them
slowly. BY this time they have been
or should have been running four
weeks on alfalfa pasture with their
mothers. Some morning when they
start for the pasture let the sows find
the gate closed, but with a creep un-
der it to permit the pigs to go out.
outside let the little pigs find a
trough full Of nourishing, appetizing
food and they will fill themselves up
on It and then start, as usual. for the
Alfalfa pasture. The sows are re-
tained in dry lot and their ration
suddenly changed to an exclusive dry
corn and water diet, which has ten
denoy to check the flow Of milk.
After while you will hear that Pc

ture. Now the money they save in
fence, they more than lose by worms
In their sheep. There Is no disease
to-day that SO threatens the future of
the sheep industry as do worms. Our
hocks must be purged OF worms or We
must quit the business. 1t was esti-
mated that in one state alone. $1,000
sheep succumbed to the ravages OF
worms In the year 1908. II Is impos-
sible even to hope to have your sheep
free from worms II the same land is
used for pasture continuously. Worms
and their eggs that are passed from
the sheep. cling to the grass and arc
ready to be again taken into the sys.
TEN. How can we be rid OF them II
sheep are left to eat this infested
crop? Change of pasture from season
to season. and from year to year is abb
solutely imperative to successful
sheep growing and one OF the chief
advantages of such n system OF pas
turage as the one outlined lies in the
fact that sheep are kept upon n single
piece of land but few days or a few
months at time.
II would pay to have every field in
the farm fenced. as there is scarcely
crop grown that at some time or
other does not furnish feed for sheep.
Most farmers. however. do not find
themselves in a position to do this.
but they can. every one Of them, do
the next best thing and that is fence,
say. three, five or ten acre fields. and
practice upon these three year ro-
tation which will give pasture crop
each year. or If they prefer. SOW them
all to pasture. and alternate them be-
tween hogs. sheep and cattle, or just
sheep and hogs.
The alleged cost of fencing is the
hedge behind which many seek to
hide in excusing themselves for not
using pastures. Yet as a matter Of
fact, figures show that practically any
where In the northwest, a five acre
field can be fenced at an annual cost
of $3.50 or $1.70 an acre, allowing ten
years as the life of the fence. Ger
tainly this sum cannot be regarded as
prohibitive. AS compared with the
cheap and excellent feeds it makes it
possible to use, 1t is not worthy of
consideration.
The man who is attempting to grow
sheep without pasture is making a big
mistake. He is not growing his sheep
as economically and as well as he
might, nor is he realizing the maxi
mum benefits to his soil as result
of his sheep industry.

RASPBERRY PEST

(By c. p. Gillette. Colorado State
EntomologisLJ
The raspberry worm. or slug. as IL
Is more commonly called. is beginning
ats depreciation again upon the rasp.
berry foliage. Several inquiries have
been received ut the experimental sta.
ton concerning IL.
This insect has occasloncd severe
losses TO owners OF raspberry patches
in the eastern portion OF Colorado dur
ing the past two or three years. This
Is one OF our easiest pests to controi
II properly managed. The insect In
question is Il small worm. covered
with short hairs or spines and Is so
near the color OF the Leaf that II is
often overlooked when quite abundant.
Its injuries are first noticed by the
appearance or numerous small holes
In the raspberry leaves. These holes
gradually Increase in size and number
until often times the leaves are com
pletely deyourcd
As this insect eats away the tissue
OF the leaves 1t may be killed by the
use OF one OF the food poisons such as

Paris green. II the fruit is still upon
the bushes. hellebore Is the poison to
use. as 1t may be applied in sufficient
quantity to destroy the worms without
any danger whatever OF injury to
those who eat the fruit. Heilebore is
applied wet by mixing one ounce with
each three gallons OF water and then
applying as spray. II may be used
dry by mixing It with about five times
Its bulk OF common baking flour and
sitting 1t over the leaves through a
cheesecloth sack or applying 1t by
means OF a bellows until the leaves
are lightly busted with the powder.
Hsllebore is most effectual when used
towards evening as the slugs feed free

Ing.
II the bushes are not bearing fruit,
arsenate OF lead may be used as Il
spray in the proprtion OF one pound
to each twenty-five gallons OF water.
II one prefers to use Paris green IL
may be applied also as a spray. using
one pound to each 100 gallons OF wa
ter. A thorough use of any of the
above remedies will be very effectual
in keeping this insect in check.

Crops for Hiqh Attitudes.

At the Farmers Institute recently
held at Steamboat Springs f. r. Ben
nett of the Colorado Agricultural Col
lege discussed the smaller vegetables,
pointing out that cabbages grow to
best advantage on mesa land and that
cauliflower has its natural home there.
He believed these would produce $50
to $75 an acre profit and that there is
. demand for more than 1000 carloads
which could be placed to advantage,
now that transportation is assured
He said river bottoms and valleys are
admirably adapted to the growing OF
celery and that Colorado could not
supply its own demand. which is grow
ing year by yeaf. He said celery
at this altitude would be crisp and ten
der and a ready market could be found
for 1t at a profit from $500 to $500 an
acre. He also said the Steamboat
Springs region is specially good
strawberry country and berry growing
would be profitable because at this al
titude they would be produced when all
others are off the market, coming in
August and September. when, with
their exceptional flavor end quality,
there would be an unlimited market
for them.
In his talk on potatoes. Mr.. Bennett
said that there are more than 1000
varieties, perhaps that number in Col
orado, some of which are worthless
and some valuable. He drew particular
attention to the fact that some varie-
ties are especially adapted to North
west Colorado, and urged ranchers to
investigate and raise the better grades
Of potatoes on their mesa lands with
out irrigation. because these potatoes
are much in demand for seed through
out the irrigated regions OF the state.

They are productive and cost nothing
but the price OF the seed. and the In.
Dor OF producing them. All the labor
OF harvesting and storing and feeding
these crops Is saved: the sheep get

It In the field where 1t grows. For

to be outdone.
Not alone are they cheap. but they
furnish the most desirable sort Of feed
for sheep. Succulent. palatable. bulky
enough. yet possessed OF all the nutri-

readily digested than these pasture
crops for the cell walls surrounding
the nutrients are thin and tender and

for them not alone the ideal feed but
likewise the ideal conditions. Never
