OF GENERAL FARM INTEREST,

A neat farm home is of value to the children because it will instill in them an admiration for the farm.
 If you expect the hired mans con- fidence you must put confidence in him. You will find that it pays to talk matters over with him.
 The best bank Is the soil. In it on, may deposit his energy and his seed and be sure to have both returned with more than compound interest.
 For the first time in its history of forty-eight years the Kansas State Agricultural college has created a de- partment of instruction which will be devoted entirely to farm mechanics.
 Ever figure ont what percentage of profit you are receiving from the money and labor invested in the farm? The business man of the city knows this about his business, and the busi- ness man on the farm should do so.

MAKING WAR o% T.. RAT.
Government Advises Farmers to Use
 Concrete In Building Construction.

Government Advises Farmers to Use
 Concrete In Building Construction.
 The United States department of agriculture, discussing the extermina- ton of rats, strongly advocates the using of concrete for the construction of every class of building. The i'm portance of this precaution cannot be overestimated. When the immense loss caused annually by these vermin Is considered the need of stopping their depredations is more clearly realized. It has been repeatedly stated on good authority that every rat in the coun- try causes an annual property loss of over $1. The total cost of this pest to the country will never be known, as their number cannot be even roughly estimated. The department of agri- culture says:
 "The best way to keep rats from buildings, whether in the city or in the country, is by the use of cement construction. In constructing dwell Ing houses the additional cost of mak- Ing the foundations rat proof is slight as compared with the advantages. The cellar walls should have concrete foot ings, and the walls themselves should be laid in cement mortar. The cellar floor should be of medium rather than lean concrete, and all water and drain pipes should be surrounded with con- crete.
 Rat holes may be permanently closed with a mixture of cement, sand and broken glass or sharp bits of crockery or stone. The space between the sheathing and lath to the height of about a foot should be filled with concrete
 "Granaries, eorncribs and poultry houses may be made rat proof by liberal use of concrete in the founda- tions and floors For a ratproof crib a well drained site should be chosen. The outer walls, laid in cement, should be sunk about twenty inches into the ground. The space within the walls should be thoroughly grouted~with ce- ment and broken stone and finished with rich concrete for a floor. Upon this the structure may be built. Even the walls of the crib may be of con- crete. Corn will not mold in contact with them provided there is good ven tilation and the roof is water tight"

AN IcELEss REERIeERAToR.

Where one is so located that ice can not be had for refrigerator a very good substitute may be arranged by making a cooler of the size desired with board top and bottom and screen frames for the sides. one side serving as door. On the top of the Cooler a small tank should be placed contain ing water, a galvanized tank being most durable. Pieces of duck cloth or other material of about the same weight should be fixed so as to hang over the screen sides of the cooler. the upper ends extending into the tank of water. AS a result of the law of cap Hilary attraction. that operative in a common idmp wick. the water is slow ly absorbed from the tank and spreads through the cloths and as fast as evap- orated is renewed from above. It Is this process of evaporation that keeps the lnc1oe re cool. The water should be renewed as frequently as necessary. The cooler will give the best results if placed ir she shade. where there are currents of air moving, which will in- crease the process of evanuration.

THE ABANDONED FARM.

With about all of the free govern ment land taken up and the hunger of folks for land increasing rather than diminishing. a good dea, of interest is being shown by home seekers in some sections in what are known as the abandoned farms found in the New England states, but in larger number in the state of New York. These farms are usually found in hilly sections and comprise tracts which in the begin from the forest areas of which they were a part or are tracts which orig inally possessed an agricultural value which has been reduced and depleted as a result of a skinning and robbing system of handling. In some fewer in- stances these farms, possessing consid- erable agricultural value, are to be found in localities which are particu' larly remote and lonesome or at too great q distance from market. Often the neighborhoods in which these farms are found are peopled by folks of an ultra conservative and nonpro- gressive class. the remnant following long period in which there has been progressive members of the commu- nifty to sections farther west, where az ricultural conditions were more invit- ing. The farms in question still pos sessing possibility of regeneration and agricultural usefulness have become unproductive as a result of improper handling, which has brought about a poor physical condition of the soil. lack in humus and soil Soufness or acidity
 A good deal of thought has been de voted to the possibility of retaining these abandoned farms. and as a result of these investigations some practical suggestions have been made. One of these investigators is Dean Bailey of the New York experiment. station at Cornell, N. Y. He believes that these farms may be used for one of three purposes-the growing of fruit. the re- vival of animal industries and exten- sion of dairying and for the growing of forests. Properly handled. including the raising of stock and dairying and the application of fertilizers and lime. there is little question that many of these farms could be brought to a sat isfactory profit giving basis. A point in their favor is nearness to large mar ket centers, which will continue to im- prove as the years go by. Many of these farms will never be reclaimed. Others, however, will be, and are de- serving of the careful investigation Of the land seeker who may not have a considerable amount to invest.

Irrigation Experiments With Onions.
 Comparative tests of the furrow and flooding methods of irrigation at the Texas experiment station resulted in estimated gains in yields per acre by the flooding method of 4,200 to 1000 pounds of onions. The increased yields secured from irrigation as compared with dry culture indicate that irriga- ton is profitable even in seasons when the rainfall is sufficient to produce a good crop.-American Agriculturist.

AN EASY WAY TO SAVE MONEY

PAlN EAST WAY IO SAVE mONE '.
 Bankers should be-and the vast ma- jority of them are-conservators of business integrity and financial stabil ity. In serving their patrons they make it business of inquiring into the financial rating of business houses, investment companies and other cor porations which seek loans of the pub lies money. Occupying the position they do, they are in an especially fa- vorable position for knowing of or as- certaining the reliability of individuals or firms that seek such investment. Millions upon millions of hard earned money belonging to small investors might be saved from dissipation an- nually were they to exercise the simple precaution of stepping into their local bank and inquiring the financial stand ing of such and such company that they may think of intrusting with their money. If the banker should not be able to give the required information offhand it is safe to say that he can set inquiries afoot which will result in securing the desired Information. The next time you have in mind investing your hard won coin. in some invest ment scheme promising more than legitimate returns refer the matter to your banker. It is quite likely he can be useful to you.

Boil Weevil at Henning

HENNING.-There has been an eXhi-
bition here today of a specimen OF the
insect kingdom which is claimed to be.
by those who have seen and are ia
miliar with the variety, cotton Doll
weeviI. Large bolls of cotton are being
DESTROYED by some insect, and Squire
Joe Landlord, a cotton planter of much
experience, saw so much of his cotton
being destroyed in that manner that he
decided to investigate and see if he could
find any cause for this condition. AS a
result he found the insect, and it was
pronounced by those who have lived in
the districts where the boil weevils have
wrought so much destruction to be a
genuine boil weevil. But whether 1t is
the so-called boil weevil or not, it is de-
stroying the cotton bolls just the same.
What is known as the top crop is being
greatly damaged, in fact, the insect has
attacked the top crop only to any extent.
1t is hoped by the citizens of this sec
ton that the boil weevil has not gotten
here, and the insect found will prove to
be only a temporary injurious agent to
the cotton and not one that will make
the growing of cotton in this section a
thing of the past. for several years at
least, if not for always
The complaint of the grown bolls fall
ing off comes from farmers on some of
the finest cotton land In Lauderdale coun-
ty, and it is feared the crop in this sec
ton will be cut very short if the ravages
of the insect continue.

cared to have them.
I'VE will be glad to cooperate in every
way with the fair management" said
Mr.. Becker. I'VE have only one thing
to sell and that is transportation. If the
people of any point along our line wish
to engage a special train for the fair we
will be glad to make them special rates
and other concessions. The passenger
department of the company will be glad
to assist in every manner possible in
making the state fair success. l be-
lieve from what has been told me and
from what l have observed that the ex-
hibition this fall will be interesting and
intend to come down during the fair
myself"

Farmers Order Wheat Seed

WESSON.-Several members OF the
Farmers union and others met at Sand
Hill school house, six miles east of here,
and made up their orders for wheat seed.
Considerable wheat was planted here this
year and it was a success, many OF the
farmers having been eating new wheat
flour from their own fields since May.
They intend to plant on a larger scale
for another crop, and thought 1t best to
order their seed than to plant their own
homegrown seed, as they feel that seed
selected by one who understands the Sc
lection of wheat seed is sbetter than Sc
lected by an inexperienced person, and
Furthermore. they believe seed sown In
other soil will do better than seed plant
ed in the same soil it was grown in and
the ordering of their seed will insure less
SCOT in their wheat crop.
Already a flour mill has. been estab-
Iished near here which grinds wheat
twice a week, and by next season the
owner, Mr.. Spencer, will have put in
bleaching machine.
Those who have the new bread say
they like it better than any flour they
can buy at the stores. The wheat crop
here will be a large one next year
