UP NORTH.

Spring cometh when it listeth and
goeth ditto-Baltimore Sun.
Kind of a case of "now you see
it and now you don't" isn't it? But,
remember, that is up North. Here,
in the glorious sun-kist Lower Rio
Grande Valley, spring has come to
stay until until summer comes.

of the boil weevil. In Arkansas and
parts of Oklahoma they hunt for their
food among the tangles of the dead
cotton stalks, and they kill out thou
sands of weevils.
Their presence Is never harmful to
crops at any time in the season, as
they are insect eaters, rarely bother
ing with grain. At the season when
the cotton ground Is being broken
they are especially busy among the
dead bolls and stalks Of the cotton
patch.
Purple martins, cliff swallows, bank
and barn swallows, quails and q
score of other birds are tremendous

from smothering the cotton fields out

spring and fall migration, millions of
birds cross the southern states on
their way from and to the north, and
they reduce the weevils by the mil
lion.

quested to cause the same to be erected
to the eastward of new Stoughton and
extending it's front southerly, nearly
east and west, and that the same be
built upon the principles Of the plan
exhibited by L. Baldwin, with single
rooms in the front and two studies in
the rear, and to form the north side
of a quadrangle which, when COM
pleted, may be nearly equilateral."
The money with which to build the
new hall was not derived from the
Holworthy bequest received many
years before, as might be inferred
from the name, but came from the
proceeds Of lottery which had been
authorized by act of the legislature
March IA, 1906. The treasurer's books
show that the lottery produced about
$4,000, Of which sum $24,500 was
spent on Holworthy hall This was
a not unusual way of raising money
for public purposes and no Ill opinion
was attached to 1t at that time.
Stoughton hall had been built in like
manner by a lottery authorized in
1894.
In the corporation records it was
specified that the rent Of rooms in
Holworthy should be $26 year.

Young fat cattle are now in great
demand The trouble with most far
mers who raise yearlings is that they
do not feed them the first year, only
let them run on pasture, and the first
winter carry them over on dry fodder
and hay. The fact is, this is the time
the calves should be fed all they will
eat.
The fact is, from the time they are
weaned from milk they should be
taught to consume all they will eat,
the idea of trying to get them along
on as little as will support them re-
suits only in a stunted scrub. calf
should be taught to eat grain before 1t
is weaned, and the ensuing summer
It should have regular and full al
lowance of grain, corn, oats, bran or
cottonseed meal, SO as to develop the
whole frame, and at all times should
be what is called fat.

of feed, but a good trial would change

COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN
Very Smart Are Those of Crash
Which Have Suddenly Become
So Popular.

Ultra smart are the coat sets In
heavy crash. While few of them are
entirely Of creamy hue, the most ef-
fective are in old rose, delft blue, pas
tel green or khaki, embroidered with
white or black linen floss. This needle
work, which is in a bold design and
done in close, solid stitch, runs from
the inner to the outer edge of both
collar and cuffs, where the hem
stitched border is very coarse and eff
fective. The collars are five pointed
and SO extremely broad that one Van
Dyke terminates at the center of the
back, two Van Dykes fall over the
top of the arm, and the remaining pair
extend almost half way to the waist
line. The cuffs have three sharp Van
Dykes, a deep one running backward
to the elbow, and two shorter ones
pointing. toward the inner side of the
arm. These coat sets are now worn
with plainly tailored serges OF dark
hue, but they will be equally smart
looking with the tailored frocks IN
white, gray or tan.

EXTRA HEADS ON STALKS
Government Becomes Interested In
Grain and Orders an Inspection
of Method.

Chico, Cal-Barley and oat-growing
experiments by G.. w. Overton of Chi
co have developed grains that may
be adopted throughout the United
States.
The experiments are considered SO
remarkable that the government has
ordered an inspection of his process
with a view of establishing his meth
DDS throughout the country.
The feature of the new barley is
that from two to five heads grow on
each stalk, the principal head ripen-
ing first and becoming easily twice as
large as the others, which are OF
normal size The combined heads are
about nine inches long, while the
stalk is tough and about as large as
an ordinary lead pencil, standing
against a heavy wind.

three heads to the stalk

DESTROY BOIL WEEVlL

Dead StaIks-Never Injurious
to Growing Crops.

Birds of the woods and fields can
not be expected to kill out the boil
weevil and prevent its spread, but
they can, and do, help greatly. Any
help that planters and the small cot
ton growers may receive from bird
life will aid in controlling this pest of
the southern agriculturist.
The United States bureau OF bio
logical survey has found that there
are forty-three species of birds tha&
devour millions of boil weevils. Tb#
experts Of this bureau have issued
bulletin announcing that these bird0
are one of the most important checka
upon the spread of the weevil.
During the fall migrations of the
swallows, the orchard and the Balti-
more orioles 1 have watched these
birds, feeding by the hour on the
weevils that are then flying freely,
says writer In the Farm Progress
Some of the birds shot at that time
had as many as thirty-seven weevils
In their crops, and the cliff swallows
that were examined averaged nine

their minds. 1t is the best form OF
utilizing feed. Then after pasturAg
and feeding all summer the calves
should be put in close feed lot and
fattened on clover or alfalfa hay, corn,
cottonseed meal and silage if one has
the silo. In this way yearling can
be made to bring twice what it would
otherwise be worth.
This method is worked out by many
farmers in the. Northwest, where the
summers are short and winters Sc
we're. In the Central West and South,
where the climate is mild, the prob
lem should be easily solved. 1t Is
practicable, and the money and time
spent are well Invested. Instead Of
marketing thin yearlings, weighing 900
or 700 pounds, and bringing 31a cents,
they should be fitted to 1000 pounds
or more, and fetch six to seven cents.
The market for baby beef will never
be overdone. Young cattle always
bring good prices.

Famous Dormitory at Harvard
Was Built in 1912.
Money to Put the Mall Up Was
Raised by Lottery, Which
Made Profit of
$4,000.

Cambridge, Mass-Not only every
Harvard man but every visitor who
has crossed the classic yard of the
old university will be interested in
the fact that Holworthy hall, one OF
the dormitories facing on the elm
shaded quadrangle, celebrates its cen
tenary this year. For full hundred
years it has been occupied by success
siye generations of students.
The history of Hoiworthy is inter
esting. Before it was built the col
lege had faced out over Cambridge
common, turning its back on what is
now the yard. The three oldest build
ings, Harvard (1672-82), the original
Stoughton (1699) and Massachusetts
hall (1720), formed three sides of a
square open to the west. Later (1763)
Hollis was built in line with Slough
ton and with the help of Holden
chapel, three sides of another square
were thus formed, this one also open
ing to the west.
These western faces were the front
of the building. Behind them in what
is the present yard were wood houses,
the brewhouse and other outbuildings.
Stoughton was finally taken down in
1880 and different plan of arrange
ment then became possible. Still the
present Stoughton, built in 1903, was
placed on a line with Hollis and 1t
also faced the west.
In 1911, however, another dormitory
being needed, it was voted in the first
place that the corporation will pro-
coed to erect a new college for the
habitation of students on the site Of
old Stoughton hail." and Mr.. Lowell
and Loammi Baldwin were appointed
q committee to make necessary con-
tracts and superintend the erection of
the building If this plan had been
carried out it would have effectually
blocked the development of the pres
ent college yard.
Fortunately better counsels prevail
ed says the Harvard Graduates Mag
azine On March II, 1911. Mr.. Bald
win presented a plan for the new col
klege, and it was voted that the COM
