Col. Charles J. Jones. popularly known
as Buffalo Jones, exhibited the NOV
ing pictures Of his exploits with the lasso
in capturing African wild animals at the
Belasco Theater last evening. Accom-
ranied by two expert cowboys. whose
ability in handling the rope was the by
word Of the far West. this veteran OF
the plains went into British East Africa
and accomplished the most marvellous
feats known to the world Of huntsmen-
Mounted on their speedy. well-trained
American bronchos. these three intrepid
Americans pursued and lassoed nearly
every species Of African wild beast. The
moving picture camera caught most Of
their exploits, which, as shown upon the
screen at the Belasco and described
eloquently and with characteristic West
ern breeziness by Buffalo Jones, COM
prise one Of the most interesting enter
tainments seen here this season.
Among the most dangerous as well as
spectacular feats were the capture of a
great bull rhinoceros and a full-grown
Iioness Both animals charged the
mounted men Of the American plains
time after time, but were finally roped

Estimate About 400 Bales

While the cotton crop in Texas
county this summer will not be
very heavy, still the crop is esti-
mated at about 400 or 400 bales.
Many of the farmers who have
grown the crop this summer. re-
port unusual success with it and
are much elated oyer their first
experience with it. Many feel
they have a crop which is going
to make them a half y bale or even
three-quarters of a bale to the
acre. These yields are considered
very good, even in an old cotton
section, and it might be we'll to
mention in passing, that most of
the old cotton sections have failed
this summer, and Texas county
stands in a class by herself. The
cotton experience of the farmers
of the county up to now, appears
to be highly satisfactory and we
hope it continues in a like manne".

cows AND OTHER THINGS

The American Jersey Cattle club
held a dinner in New York recently
and Joseph Smith of Lowell, spoke
thus:
"The four most important agricul-
tural products of this republic said
Mr.. Smith, "are the hog, the hen, the
farmer and the COW, and the greatest
OF these, is the cow. There are a lot
of fussy purists who insist that these
are neither agricultural, nor products
but that is a mere detail Inasmuch
as the gentlemen of this club are far
mers I will give the farmer proceed
ence. There are two definitions of
farmer: First, man who cultivates
the soil; and second any American
who visits New York and gets separ-
ated from his money We are not in
the second class
There are three classes of farm
ers: The scientific farmer who makes
money, the plain farmer who makes
trouble, and the gentleman farmer
who makes a bluff.
Having defined and classified the
farmer / will now proceed to the cow

ment and intensive culture the COW

NOTES ON POTATOES

The average yield of potatoes in
Minnesota for the ten years, 1899 to
1909, was sc bushels per acre. The
average yield Of potatoes in the state
of Maine for the same time was I'll
bushels per acre.
There are about 10000 hills in an
acre OF potatoes planted in rows 311a
feet apart and Ia inches apart in the
row. One eight-ounce potato in
each hill will produce a yield Of
a1out SO bushels per acre. Many
times one hill will produce six eight
ounce potatoes, which is at the rate
of $40 bushels per acre.
The low yields secured on an av-
,erage must be due to failure of
large number of hills to produce.
some Of the things that cause the
failure of hills are, poor soil, improper
preparation, poor seed, irregular
planting, poor cultivation, bugs, dis
ease, and poor weather. Many Of
these conditions are cOntrOllable; all
of them may be influenced by proper
methods of culture.
A hill of potatoes stripped by bugs
Tor on which the leaves are injured by
|blight can not give a satisfactory
yield. Paris green or some other
poison should be used to destroy bugs
t.'efare they have a chance to serious
ily injure the vines. A few days de-
lay means the loss of Ia great many
hills. The most successful growers
spray from two to sir times each
year with a Bordeaux mixture to pre-
vent injury from blight. Paris
green may be mixed with the Bor-
deaux, thus spraying for bugs and
blight at the same time.
