GOOD DIPPING VAT FOR SHEEP
Every Farmer With Flock of Twenty five Animals Should Possess
 One-Concrete Is Cheap.

A farmer owning as many as tWen- ty-five sheep should have a good dipping vat These may be made Of wood, metal or concrete. For smaller number of sheep than twenty five. the barrel used to scald the pigs will do If the farmer feels that he cannot afford to purchase or build . vat
 A good galvanized vat ten feet long and four feet deep made purposely for dipping can be purchased for about SIP. There are smaller sizes than this that can be purchased for less money Concrete vats can be built at normal cost. Three or four farmers can club together and pur- chase one of the galvanized tanks and haul it to their respective farms as it is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep shoud be narrow enough to prevent the sheep turning around in it, and deep enough to swim large sheep. The length of the vat should depend upon the number of sheep man keeps on his place, as the longer the vat the greater the number of sheep which can be dipped in day. There is considerable variation as to the

WIN Cure Cotton Stalls for Feed.

Among other things being deeply
considered by the farmers of this inn
mediate section, where the feed crop
is so terribly short this year; is the
problem of feeding their cattle over
the winter. It is well-known that
cotton seed, cotton seed hulls and
meal made of cotton products are eat
en- by cattle very freely and that they
faten and thrive OF the same. The
question is being asked, and with
good reason, why the farmers of this
section do not cut their cotton stalks
and cure the leaves and stalks for
feed. 1t is claimed that cattle will
cured cotton stalks and leaves
with as much relish as they dc the
other products, and there is reason
to believe that there is nourishment
in them. Many Of the farmers will be

Texas annually pays an unnecessary
toll III $8.00G,o00 because Cf bad roads.
That was the statement made the
other day BY Secretary Ellison, of the
Longyiew Chamber Of Commerce, He
said that last year Texas farmers
marketed approximately 100000 tons
bf products. 1t costs 43 cents the
ton the mile to reach the markets in
Texas, ana the average distance
hauled was only i've miles. The aver
age for the whole country is only 23
cents.
tNow let us figure out in dollars
the less Of the Texas farmer, says
MFR. Ellison. IF the Texas farmers
raised 100000 tons of farm products
and it costs them 43 cents the ton
the mile to reach the market, and the
average distance hauled was five
miles, and if it only costs % cents
the ton the mile on an average
throughout the United States, then
the Texas farmers did lose 20 cents
the ton the mile on 100000 tons of
products on every mile they hauled
their goods"
Thus, the total loss on one mile
must be $1,600,000, but the average
haul was five miles, so it must be five
times that amount, which is $8,0O0,000
annually that the Texas farmers lose
on account of bad roads.
The total fire losses in Texas last
year amounted to $4,000,00O, and the
losses from bad roads amounted to
twice that sum-.
Texas needs good roads badly does
it not? Yet we in Virginia are in no
position to throw stones when it
comes to bad roads.-Richmond
