A THOUGHT Worth Considering.

Parents when selecting school for
their son or daughter to attend, or young
men and women depending upon their
own judgment, should take into careful
consideration the moral surroundings In
which they will be placed when attend
ing school. Our large cities are full OF
saloons and their accompanying evils.
The business colleges located in these
cities cannot control their students when
out of the school rooms, therefore they
are left to roam the streets at will and
get into all kinds of company. The
TYLER Commercial College is located in
the beautiful and healthy city OF Tyler,
Texas, town of $4,000 inhabitants, with
no saloons or their accompanying evils.
Our large crowd of 1900 students annu-
ally are controlled with perfect ease,
both while in and out of school. The
school is opened each morning with ex-
ercises that strengthen the moral charac-
ter of every student within its walls.
Lectures by prominent business men
from various parts of the United States
upon the necessity of truthfulness and
honesty in true business education;
|. lectures by some of Americas greatest
orators. men of extensive travel and
careful study. These morning exercises
are made interesting, inspiring and en-
couraging. They cause our student

BEE CULTURE NOT DIFFICULT
No More Skill and Intelligence Re-
CURED Than to Keep Poultry
Do Not lnjure Fruit.

It requires no more intelligence and
skill to raise bees than to keep poul
try. 1t requires certain amount Of
work and at the right time, yet this
in no sense equals the attention given
poultry. But for some reason few
farmers have bees. If 1t is lack of
knowledge that keeps them from 1t,
then the excuse is easily overcome.
for there are many bee journals and
books that would give the desired in
formation. If it be fear of bee stings,
these may be prevented by certain ap-
pliances. Surely no one should be kept
from the enjoyment Of honey because
of cost The bees and the necessary
equipment need not cost much. Per
haps some have been led to believe
through foolish newspaper reports
that bees are injurious to fruit. This
is not So Bees cannot break the skin
of any fruit. Because they are seen
sucking the juice of punctured grapes
they have been falsely accused Of do
ing the puncturing.

GOOD FERTILIZER FOR CORN
Growth Which Continues
Through the Season.

The value of a good corn fertilizer
consists in giving the corn a uniform
vigorous early growth. The stalks are
stout, roots many and spreading,
foliage dark green and healthy. This
strong, vigorous growth continues
throughout the growing period. The
crop natures early. the grain and fOd-
der ripening fully 10 to 16 days earlier
than corn planted the same day on
the same quality of land and given
exactly the same careful cultivation.
To obtain a profitable yield select
sound grain taken from the middle of
the ear; plant when soil Is warm and
mellow. Corn, like wheat and rye.
must have a fertilizer having a full
supply of phosphoric acid The stalk,
leaves and grain require considerable
potash. For these reasons an animal
cent. Of available phosphoric acid, two
per cent. of nitrogen and three per
cent. of actual potash should be
bought. A fertilizer of this quality ap-
piled at the rate of 800 pounds to the
acre in the corn hills. the ground being
rolled sod. will under careful culture
give profitable yield of grain. On
the other hand, when a cheap acid
phosphate is used the strength of the
fertilizer is used up in stalk and
leaves. and, unless there is sufficient
plant food in the sod to make the
grain, the yield of corn is small. When
cav or long yard manure is spread
broadcast and plowed under, or a
heavy sod plowed down in the spring.
it is most profitable to put the corn
In with ESQ to 800 pounds Of some
good standard bone phosphate to the
acre, as the manure and sod will not
be available as plant food until rotted,
which will not be until midsummer.
and not then If the fore part of sum-
Ner should be hot and dry.
