TIME TO WAKE UP.

1t is becoming more apparent every day to those who have thought for the future welfare of our varied and extensive horticultural interests that congress should take up at an early date serious consideration of laws which will secure stringent and thorough inspection of fruits and ali kinds of nursery stock brought into the country or shipped from state to state Measures of this kind have been before congress at previous ses- sions, but somehow the nurseryman has seemed to have a bigger pull than the enormous fruit growing interests of the country. It's time this thing was turned about and the large class who suffer from the shipment of dis eased nursery stock were given hear ing. These people have representa- tives at Washington; but, as in good many other instances, it is the ''other fellow" the special interest chap, whose claims are first considered. To show the need of the enactment of law of the character referred to, there may be cited from many instances the importation last year on pear and ap- pie seedlings from France of numer- ous nests of the brown tailed moths, the worst insect pest known, and the scattering of it all over the country. Much the same thing took place in the case of the European scale, resem- bling the San Jose scale, which was likewise scattered broadcast. These are cases in which an ounce of proven tion is worth a pound of cure and costs but an infnitesimal part as much A number of states have strin- gent inspection regulations, but these only effect a partial relief Such laws should be made nation wide.

A REGENERATED COTTON FARM.

During the past four or five years the department of agriculture at Wash ington has issued bulletins giving ac
 count of some of the best managed farms of different types to be found practical object lessons would be bene- ficial to other farmers not meeting with so large a measure of success. The plan has seemed to be decided success, and much interest has been manifested in the published bulletins. The latest to be put out by the depart
 ment is farmers bulletin No. 364. which gives an account of a profitable cotton farm in South Carolina. Seven year ago, when the present owner took possession of this piece of land, it was played out, rundown proposi- tion, a type of scores to be found in the cotton belt, producing but five to eight bushels of corn or 300 pounds of seed cotton per acre. The methods adopted for it's regeneration were a deep and thorough cultivation of the soil, the use of barnyard manure and some commercial fertilizers, the rota

At pres ent the owner gets yield of two and one-quarter bales of cotton. eighty five bushels of corn and eighty bushels Of oats per acre. He keeps twenty
 four head of native cattle, mainly for the manure. though they give him small profit besides. From a discour- aging and bankrupt proposition this farm las been brought to the point where it yields a large income and a handsome profit The bulletin, which may be had by writing ones repre- sentative or senator or to the depart ment at Washington, should be in the hands of every cotton state farmer who is not making the most of his az ricultural opportunities.

OPENINGS FOR -HusTLERs.

Opportunities for securing cheap land that has real value are about gone. Henceforth the energies of those who do not. go to Canada or elsewhere will have to be devoted to a better handling of lands already under cultivation or the restoration of those which have been reduced to bankruptcy through long continued soil robbery. While there would be discouragements at the start, it would seem that along this fine there are many good openings in eastern and southern states for any man who has the grit and intelligence necessary to succeed in pioneer prop osition. The regeneration mentioned can be effected through q more thor ough cultivation of the soil, the use of natural and commercial fertilizers, the adoption of crop rotation which should include one of the legUmes- clever, alfalfa, field peas or beans-and a change from the selling Of the raw products of tic farm to marketing the finished products in tlre shara of boa@. mutton, p@~5-, .,uHIT.

The farmers wives in a section of the small grain belt this year are on a strike in the matter of furnishing sumptuous spreads for from fifteen to twenty thrashing hands and declare that hereafter thrashing crews that come to their places will have to bring along their own mess tent and cook. It's wonder this strike hasn't come sooner, as in good conscience the aver age farmers wife has enough to do in the line of routine duties without being swamped with cooking for thrashers. A feature that has made bad matter worse in the past is the fact that there has been a bit of rivalry between the housewives of some localities to bear the reputation of preparing the most elaborate fare.

It is frequently stated by those Op- posed to the tuberculin test as a means of ridding dairy herds. of tuberculosis that if the tuberculin is injected into the system of an animal not affected 1t will contract the disease as conse- quence. This misconception seems to overlook the fact that the culture which is used in making the test is thoroughly and completely sterilized before it is used, making a contraction of the disease in this manner by q healthy animal an impossibility. More over, the extensive use of the tubercu- lin in testing hundreds of dairy herds gives practical proof that healthy ami mals do not contract the disease in the manner suggested. s..

For two or three years past sheep men of the southwest have sustained some loss from what is styled by the Mexicans "pingue," an ailment result ing from the eating of the rubber plant or weed. While little system atic study has been given the disease, a ranger on the Carson national forest reserve in New Mexico has tried trenches of hot water and salt with very. good success, the trenches being given every hour until the animals showed improvement. Speedy relief followed the application of the reme- dy, which, to say the least, is cheap and harmless.

Argentina exports more beef to the United Kingdom than does the United States. and no small part of her abil- ity to do this lies in the 5000, ,000 acres of alfalfa which at present furnish much of the forage for her beef cattle. It takes from one to two acres of the legume to carry mature steer through the year. The best steers raised are sold for export and fetch the grower about $50 per head.

According to a London paper, the grouse moors of Scotland yield rev enue in rentals of from $1, 900 to $2,500 annually, The practice of letting the moors seems to have started in 1895, when $25 was received for one near Pitlochry, but for twenty or more years after this the revenues amounted to little or nothing.

If the young pigs are weak boned and break down on the way to market or before, it is pretty good evidence that the ration given them has not had enough bone forming material in it. This is just as necessary as the fat and flesh forming clements and may be provided by feeding the pigs wood or cob charcoal and ashes during the growing period.

The safest as well as most effective method for the disposal of the car casses of animals that have died of disease is to burn them completely. This may take q bit more time, but it will keep dogs or other scavengers from uncovering and scattering the re- mains about as a fruitful source of contagiOn.

Not all real estate agents are liars, but enough are so given to exaggerat- ing that it is pretty good idea for the land seeker before tying up his hard earned money in a proposition to in- spect very thoroughly the piece he con- templates buying. This should include digging down several feet with a spade to ascertain exactly what the subsoil is, whether soil at all or only gravel and stone, and whether the water comes too near to the surface. This proce- dure may be deemed ''fussy" by some, but it is likely to save good deal of fruitless "fussing' later on. If the land in question were gift such mi mute examination of what lies beneath the surface would doubtless be in poor taste, but not so if it is received in ex- change for good hard money.

Tn Forest park, Brooklyn, alone 1G,O0G trees have succumbed to the pest. The department of agriculture has made a study of the disease and suggests as means of prevention that all nursery stock shipped be inspected and that all affected trees be cut down and com pletely burned in the shape of fuel and brush. It is thought that this disease came from Japan in shipments of nurs- cry stock, though the fact has not bee1i fully established.

Some private and cooperative cream cries in Illinois and other dairy states are following a plan which does much to encourage patrons to increase the size of their dairy herds. The plan consists in helping the patron to select good cows and in lending him money with which to buy other cows. One half of the amount of his subsequent milk checks is withheld until the cows bought are paid for. This plan not only gives the farmer of small means a lift, but is a direct benefit to the creamery whose volume of business is thereby increased. Within 'reasona- ble limits this plan would seem to be most excellent.

WANTS TO CROSS TEXAS.
Standard Oil Co. Tries to Evade Com
mon Carrier Restrictions.

Washington, May 11.-What may
result in the Standard Oil Company
building a pipe line from Oklahoma
through Texas to the gulf is being
considered today by the interior de-
partment. Commissioner ]. G. Wright
of Muskogee is here today comforting
with Secretary Ballinger relative to
changes in the pipe line regulations
vitality affecting Texas and Gulf line
companies. The companies want re-
lief from regulations which force
them to admit themselves common
carriers, as it prohibits their owning
producing wells and gives the secre-
tary of the interior the right to take
charge of the companies in case of
violation of these regulations. If this
relief is secured, it is believed the
Standard will undertake the building
of the pipe line.-Houston Chronicle.
