should be fought as follows:
Under the head of Prevention" Mr..
Cooley says:
Since the moths are out and laying
their eggs In the latter part of August
and in September 1t is Of much impor-
lance that fallow grain lands be kept
as free of weeds and volunteer grain
as possible In order that the moths
may be induced to lay their eggs else
where. for they will not deposit eggs
in the soil Of clearly kept field. Like
wise 1t is desirable to keep the borders
Of the fields free Of inviting vegetation.
Suspected fields intended for planting
In sugar beets. cabbages and similar
crops should be tested 10 the spring
before planting by the use Of few
bait plants or some fresh vegetation
scattered about over the bare soil to
discover whether or not it is safe to
plant out the crop. After day or two
IL the worms are present they will be
found to have eaten the bait plants or
will be in hiding near the scattered
fresh vegetation.
II the worms are found to be pres
ent and abundant enough to threaten
the proposed crop 1t is well to scatter
poisoned vegetation on the field. Al
falfa or other fresh vegetation may be
selected for this purpose 1t should be
cut and dipped into barrel contain

portion of one pound to fifty gallons or

Real Reform In Farm Life.

There can be no real reform in farm
life unless the farmer grows as well
as his crop. He can grow only by
achievement-by accomplishing some
thing Of which he may be justly proud.
AS soon as he begins to achieve and to
grow be will become watchfully dis
contented with his unnecessary hard
ships and limitations. He Will want
a better house in which TO live. bet

A Word To The Old Guard.
Hillsboro, Tex. July 8, 1910.

I1lllSDOfO. lcA.. July Q, loIo.
To the News:
AS the time is near at hand for
the reunion, I desire to call the
attention of the old soldiers to
this event.
When look back to the past
and remember so many of the
old comrades who have since
passed over the river" and
then look forward only a few
years-and only few at the out
side, when the remaining ones
must go, this thought comes to
me: We, the old soldiers, should
do our very best to accept the
great hospitality that is being
offered us by the big-hearted
people of Randall County and
those adjoining, and, all that can,
should be on hand at the reunion
to show them our appreciation
of their kindness. Also, to meet
each other in person; to keep as
far as possible, those principles
for which we fought and sacri-
feed, fresh in the minds and
hearts of the rising generations.
The Confederate line is rapid
ly growing thinner and thinner.
The hand of time is steadily clos
ing in around. 1t is only ques-
tion of a few years when an old
Comrade will be hard to find. So
let us once more rally to the call
of the good people of Randall
County, and make this years
reunion the best ever. -
Years ago when Canyon City
was yeS in her infancy, she in
vited the old soldiers to meet
with her. | want to say right
here, that the people of that city
did everything they promised,
and a great deal more Each
year they do more, and now that
she has become one of the best
cities of the West, we may antic-
ipate, if possible, a greater time.
So far as | know, no town or
city in Texas does as much for
her visitors, and especially the
old soldiers as does Canyon City.
Therefore, | urge that every
member of Stonewall Jackson
Camp be present.
| am growing somewhat feeble
myself, and as many of you know
| live a considerable distance
from you. Also, my wife is very
feeble being confined to her bed
most of the time, but | am going
to be on hand if possible. If
nothing further happens, | shall
be there.
Now, trusting that we may
have the best time on record,
urging each and every one to
come, and hoping to meet you
all, | am,
Very truly yours,
J. Il. BOBBITT, Capt.
Com. Stonewall Jackson Camp,
U. c.. V. 1440.

THE HORSEMAN
Don't Whip or Jerk the Horse.

Don't Whip or Jerk the 1orse'
1t is a shame to whip or jerk skit-
fish horse that has SHE'D or been
frightened by an unusual obstacle.
Soothe him rather than try to unnerve
him.
Wash For Horse Lice.
For lice on horses take half pint
of kerosene in two gallons OF water
and wash the horse with this twice.
with an interval of two or three days
between the applications.
Running a Spirited Animal.
A spirited horse will in the end be
made slow and spiritless by constant
nagging, twitching of lines. peevish
urging and other wearing processes
that fretful drivers practice.
Excellence of Hay.
A colt or horse will live and develop
on good hay alone. but he will thrive
better upon a two-thirds ration OF hay
and the rest straw. A ration Of oats
given with these will be all the better.
Rolling Scratching Horses
After a hard days work in the held
the horses will enjoy few moments
to roll In the yard about the stra"
pile. Your horses will scratch them
selves more In Eve minutes by rolling
than You can do With currycomb IN
thirty minutes.

MOTH WHICH PRODUCES THE ARMY CUT
WORM.
From Montana Agricultural College EI-
pertinent Station BulletinI
the same strength of solution may be
sprayed ON the standing vegetation,
which after it is dry may be cut and
taken directly to the infested field. In
the absence Of other vegetation on the
field the worms will gather In the
scattered piles of poisoned vegetation
and get fatal dose Of arsenic.
This treatment is. of course. advis-
able only where the value of the pro-
posed crop warrants the necessary e1-
pense.
Under the head Of Remedies" Mr..
Cooley says:
To protect plants grown from seeds
as well as transplanted crops q poi
soned bran mash bait may be used
Thoroughly mix dry bran with enough
paris green to give it distinct though
not deep greenish color, or four ounces
to ten pounds of bran, then add water
enough to make it wet, but not sloppy.
A little cheap molasses is often added
because Of the belief that the bait is
thereby made more palatable. A small
quantity of this bait is then placed in
little pile at the base of each plant
or hill of plants to be protected. This
remedy often works very satisfacto'
rily. but is applicable only on a small
scale. Such plants as cabbages and
tomatoes before setting may be wrap
ped with a piece of paper at the point
where they are most liable to be snaw-
ed by the cutworms.
When the caterpillars are feeding in
fairly dense vegetation they may be
killed by spraying. One pound of paris
green to fifty gallons Of water should
be used. In large fields Of young grain
little can be done except to employ
such measures as are intended TO pre-
vent the migration Of the caterpilars.

Gates, Painted and Imprinted.
The question as to whether gate
shall be painted or left rough is mat
ter which must be decided by the in
diyidual. but it is to be feared that in
nine cases out of ten the only time a
great many Of the gates on the farm
have a coat of paint is before they are
hung. and gate that has been I'M
painted for years is quite as unsightly.
II not more so. as well made rough

remembering that rough gate is

A lengthy petition was presented asking for the pardon Of Stamps and as his prison rec. Ords has been excellent and he nad but two months more to serve, Gov. Donaghey decided to turn him loose.

ulNTS TO ENLARGE
 CAPITOL GROUNDS

r..4,o Rock, May 13. -Attor- ,sy General Hal L. N0rwood rvt is D'' favor of charging the new u.,te lr Capitol grounds to take in .r Jr the property between the snilding and the new union de: 's 'at He will urge the next leg
 is1ature to make an approprla- .;,r to purchase this ground in .' '.1it;on to the 12 blocks desired sv the Capitol Commission, and have it laid off in terraces with q gradual slope to the depot, making, the finest state house mark in the United States. Alt toruey General Norwood is of tbp opinion nothing would so ad' vertise the state as this beautiful mark. which would be in plain sight of everyone pas sin g through or stopping in Little Rock. The property could be purchased for little more, at the present time, than the other blocks which are wanted by the Capitol Commission. It is sta ted that within the next two years the Rock Island railroad will enter into an agreement with the Iron Mountain by which all of its trains will come into the union depot, and then the state would have some very valuable ground, that making the city grow in that direction.

All Kinds of a Freak Calf.

Hope, May 12.-Leon Williams, a farmer, who resides a few miles south of here, is the owner of freak calf. It is said to have four well developed legs, but only three feet, having a stub on one leg instead of foot. An other remarkable thing about the calf is that it's tail, which meas ures four feet in length, has no bones in it and has to be kept tied up to keep it from drag ging on the ground.
