sistently followed, Is one of the most
effective ways of destroying rats.
"Guillotine" traps have marked ad-
yantages over the old style traps and
many of them can be used at the same
time. The more simply they are con.
structed the better. Probably those
made entirely of metal are the best,
as they are more durable and are
less likely to absorb and retain odors.
Guillotine traps should be baited with
small pieces of Vienna sausage, fried
bacon, or a small section of an ear
of corn.
The pit trap consists of a stout, mar
row box sunk in the ground so that
the top is level with the rat run 1t
is fitted viii a cover of iight wood or
metal in two sections; the sections
turn on rods to which they are fast.
ened. They are weighted near the
ends of the box and so adjusted that
they swing easily. An animal step
ping upon the cover beyond the rods
is precipitated into the box, while
the cover immediately swings back
to its place. Resides rats, the trap is
we'll adapted to capture larger AMI
mails, as mink, raccoons, opossums,
and cats. 1t is especially useful to
protect poultry yards, game preserves.
and the like. The trap should be
placed along the fence outside the
yard. and behind shelter of boards
or brush that leans against the fence.

rigors Of winter and add many dol
lars worth of value to the appearance
of the farm.
A large number have been unsuc-
cessful in growing these trees, but
with proper care and the right meth
DDS of starting the young trees 1t is
quite easy to start an evergreen tree.
The only condition of success is that
their roots must be kept moist.
Foreign varieties, when imported,
are not so sure to thrive and do as
we'll as the native trees. When trees
of small size are started they should
be set In small beds convenient for
watering in case of drought, and
shaded with brush or cornstalks few
plants-covering the surface with
leaves or straw or old hay-also a Gov
ering of the tops of the young plants
in winter Will insure their wintering
in good condition.
When they are firmly established
with new md fibrous roots they are
ready to be set out for good and it
will be found best to set in rows about
six feet apart and from three to four
feet in the row and give good care and
cultivation as would be given a garden
for two or three years until the trees
shade the ground.
In all cases cultivate well the fore
part of the season and keep down the
weeds and grass. BY close planting
an upright growth is procured, and
as the trees become too thick they
may be thinned out and the best ones
left until they have obtained their
growth
Nut trees are also worthy the at
tention of all farmers and in many
cases they will be found profitable TO
the grower and easy to get started.
Black walnut. chestnut. hickory,
and butternut trees are propagated by
gathering the nuts in the fall before
they have become dry and mixing
them with a layer of dirt OF a depth
so that they will not freeze, and plant
ing in April in nicely prepared ground
as deep as the diameter of the nut
either where they are to grow or in
row in the garden--in the latter
| case they should be taken up the first
winter and buried beyond the power
of the frost
If one-half of the tap roots are
pruned before setting the young trees,
the lateral roots will put forth
more vigorous growth and the trees
are more sure to make a good, healthy
growth.
1t is to be hoped that trees of this
kind will receive more attention in
the future than they have in the past,
as there are few farms that do not
have fence rows or waste lands that
| could be made useful by planting to
some variety of nut bearing trees.

Nothing so softens and beauties a

For front row, plant sweet alys-
sum. The alyssum will fall over the
front of the box and form a pretty
border.

For large porch box, with plenty

managers of the creamery at Bren-
ham, were in the city last Saturday to
confer with the farmers of this vicin-
ity with a view of securing the ship
ment of butter fat from this point to
Brennan, and with the promise that
when the volume of cream has as
sumed such proportions as to warrant
such a move to establish a plant here,
In the meantime, they viii pay 80
cents per pound for butter fat.
While here the gentlemen asserted
that they pay out in cash TO the farm
ers around Brennan from $4,000 ~
$1,000 per month, and their records for
last year show that to one man they
paid $799 This man, of course, is an.
exception to the average, but when it
is reflected that the production Of
cream is a side line on the average
farm and that the separated milk fed
to pigs and calves will pay for the
keep of the COWS. the butter fat money
comes in as almost all profit. II it
can be done an arrangement such as
these gentlemen propose will be bene-
fetal to both Burleson and Washing

MORE HAIR FOR MEN,

E. j. jenkins Has the Secret and
Gives It to the Readers Of
The EAGLE.

TO properly treat the hair so that it
will grow abundantly and luXuriantly,
one should first Danish dandruff and
stop falling hair and itching scalp.
This can easily be done with Partisan
Sage, sold by f. J. jenkins with an
absolute guarantee to cure dandruff,
to stop all falling hair and itching
scalp, or money back
1t cures dandruff by killing the
germs, and it kills them so promptly
that the most skeptical give it praise.
But Partisan Sage is more than a
cure for dandruf it will make hair
grow on any head where the hair bulb
is not altogether dead
And we want every reader of The
Eagle to know that Partisan Sage is
the most delightful hair dressing in
the world It is so pleasant to use,
and its effect is so invigorating that it
causes the hair to become lustrous,
fascinating and full of life.

TO COVER UP TEDDYs TRACKS,
Cabinet House Party Plans to Neu-
tralize RooseVelt's Influence in
the Central West

Washington, Sept. 24,-There is a
unique presidential house party to be-
gin probably Sunday and last for days.
1t is expected that the president and
the cabinet officers will have what
might be termed a continuous cabinet
meeting, all of his official family in
the United States with the exception
of Secretary of State Knox, will live
at the White House. Secretary Knox,
it is understood. will resume house
keeping on his own account and re-
main here after his arrival this week.
The presence of the president and
his cabinet in Washington is bound to
cause a general movement of polti-
clans here who have remedies for the
admittedly doubtful congressional sit
uation
1t is already known that the Ohio
people will make strong plea for the
despatch 10 Ohio of several cabinet
spellbinders.
The cabinet, they say, will agree
also upon orators to be sent over the
ground recently traversed by Colonel
Roosevelt These orators will supply
what was omitted by Colonel ROose-
welt. namely, some real convincing
eulogy of the administration up to
date. The fact that the colonel
damned the administration with faint
praise out West in one of his speeches
makes it all the more important that
some substantial statements be made
by friends of the president
Secretary Ballinger is apparently
not regarded as difficulty He will
be at all the cabinet meetings and it
seems that If he were conscious of an
ak swinging near his neck he would
not have accented an invitation to the
party. SlHsttx7
Everybody is on the tiptoe of ex-
pectation as to the first thing to be
taken up by the cabinet. All the emer-
gencles are purely domestic, however.

AN APPEAL FROM THE HEART.

AN APPEAL FROM THE HEART.

following letter from one of Bryans
noblest and best women. It goes
straight to the heart of the matter
and if it doesn't stir the people OF
BRYAN to action nothing will.-Editorl
Dear Mr. Editor-After seyerai
months visit TO the cleanest and most
sanitary city in Texas. I've returned
TO dear old Bryan and have been
struck as never before by the general
untidiness and really filthy condition
of her streets and alleys. and even the
parks and courthouse square. In the
library park the spring trimmings of
the shrubbery are still lying just
where they fell and the piles of paper,
boxes and other trash make what
should really be "a thing of beauty
a disgrace 10 our town Teams are
hitched in front and fed there. and
street and walk are Uttered with cobs
and shucks All this within block
of the International & Great Northern
station. in front of some of our largest
stores. our handsomest hotel. and on
the main street of our city. And the
great unsightly stacks Of boilers,
buckets, dish pans and kettles on
Washington street, one of the most
beautiful and public of our thorough
fares. are not only a reflection on
our civic pride, but are a menace to
health. as after every shower they
are filled with offensive water and
breed myriads of flies and mosquitoes
daily. And now. though court is in
session and there are lawyers wit
nesses and visitors from many other
towns. no one has been sufficiently
interested in the appearance of the
courthouse grounds to have even the
debris from recent repairs, waste pa.
pers. etc, removed.

COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES.

The sidewalk is completed on Rail-
road avenue. This street now boasts
of having the longest stretch of con-
crete sidewalk in the city. OF course,
this will not be for long time, as
other streets are now working up
plans for longer stretches. yet Rail-
road avenue can always claim the dis
tinction of being the pioneer in the
work.
The grading and filling of the yards
on Railroad avenue is well under
way. and would be pushed more vigor-
ously if labor could be secured. Prop
erty on Railroad avenue is worth 20
per cent more than it was before the
improvements were started. If you
don't believe it, go down there and
try to buy.
The street commissioner is handi-
capped in doing the work on Railroad
avenue that has to be done by the city
on account of labor. AS soon as the
laborers begin TO come in from the
cotton fields the work will be done.
Some driver struck a concrete walk
with a heavy load yesterday and broke
out a chunk There is heavy penalty
attached to carelessness of this kind,
and we wish to say right here that if
a driver is caught with his horse or
wagon on a walk he will be punished
to the full extent of the law.

lest business this month up to the
