This thing of doing in Rome as the
Romans do is not always the best
plan, says the Popular Magazine. II
you don't believe 1t Miss Jane Adams,
the famous sociological worker Of Chi
cago, will tell you a story to prove It.
Miss Adams knew a wealthy WON
an who delighted in doing works OF
charity, such as sending missionaries
to foreign fields and on one occasion
she put up the money to send a mis-
sionary to the Caroline Islands. Soon
after his arrival OF the scene OF his
activities the religious man sent his
benefactress a photograph of himself
and his wife.
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man of God a letter, suggesting
that his wife, In order to win the con
fdence of the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume of the islands. Two months
later she received this answer
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting It,"
The native dress consisted Of
piece of woven straw, two inches wide
and eight inches long.

You may breed the other to a first

which always exists: the cost Of look

purchase Of all food stuffs at market
prices for liberal feeding from birth
until three years Of age. 1t is safe to
say that the cost of growing the
inferior colt and bringing him to as
full development as can be obtained
at three years Of age, will be no less
than 1920, counting in S. service fee
This means, gentlemen, that you will
have a difference CT not more than $50
in the cost of rearing a first-class colt
| and a decidedly inferior colt, to three
years of age, even taking into con
sideration the difference in service
fee. These figures are extremely con
sentative.
The colt from a first, class draft sire
will weigh around LOO to 1,75t
pounds and will (unless the cross
proves a violent one) be Of such type
and soundness as to be worth at least
SIS more than the colt from the in
ferior, understood grade sire. II
many cases the difference would be Al
least $3.50.

DRAFT HORSES NEEDED
Majority Of Southern Animals Of
Inferior Type.
Farmer Must Secure Pure Bred slrss
TO Build Up Present Underslzed
Stock-Grsat Work Of Expert
ment Stations.
(By WAYNE


It 10 necessary that you should have
. good supply of good pure bred draft
horses, II you are to produce grade
draft mares Of suitable size and con
formation for farm work and mule pro-
duction. You cannot 60 into the north
and west and buy such grade draft
mares as cheaply as you can rear them,
for the farmers Of the north and west
are not uficiently supplied them
selves with mares of the right weight
and type.
Grade draft mares have been sell
ing on the open market at from $3.50
to 5000 per head and have been taken
up with avidity by buyers who have
been distributing them to farmers who
cannot buy such animals in their own
communities.
You must have pure bred draft
sires If you are to build up your pres
emit understood stock of mares into
good sized we'll built grade Of draft
mares. From what l have been able
to learn of the conditions of the south,
! am sure that the majority Of your
mares are Of inferior type and lacking
In size.
Two or three successive crosses with
good pure bred draft sires, will build
this understood, inferior stock, up in

ing from 1900 to 1,700 pounds and
of fairly good type, but you must have
good pure bred draft sires If you are
to make such progress within two OF
three generations.
Our experiment stations established
in 1888 have done great work IN
studying the efficiency Of production
in our draft and meat producing ami
mails and 1t has been found that II
costs just as much to produce an in
ferior animal as 1t does to produce 6
good one, as 1t does from the initia
cost of the better sire.
In other words, you may take two
mares of Identical size and and confor

NEVER ENTIRELY WIPED OUT
The Bachelor Survives In Great Num-
bers, Despite Attacks Of Most
skillful Foes.

Bachelors, like the poor, we have
always with US. They never become
extinct The rising army each year is
attacked by an opposing army OF te-
males, and each individual is, OF
course, defeated and led away to the
slaughter, yet, in spite Of this fact
the bachelor still persists.
Many things conspire to keep him
going; for one, there are the cities.
Bachelors who live In cities learn to
be very comfortable. They can ar
range their home decorations TO suit
themselves, and can at any time bring
home a friend to dinner without any
criticism from the management.
Bachelors who live In cities a also
eat and drink what they please with
out interference, and so far as all the
material comforts are concerned. they
can regulate their lives to suit them.
selves.
On the other hand, the thing that
depletes the ranks of the bachelors
more than anything else is lonesome
ness. Many bachelors are willing to
put up with almost any kind OF a hard
life so long as they can get someone
to share 1t with. Ease and luxury
are, after all, among the minor con
Germs; after a bachelor has expe'
rienced them for q sufficient length Of

BURN OUT THE BOIL WEEvIL
Chief Object Of Destruction Of Cotton
Stalks In Fall 10 to Deprive
insects Of Feed.

In the fight against the boil weevil
It should always be remembered that
comparatively few of the boil weevils
that are present in the fall live
through the winter and attack the
cotton in the spring. The earlier the
food of the weevils, which Is cotton
and only cotton, is destroyed In the
fall, the smaller the number Of vice.

From the fact that the weevlls mi
CRATE chiefly in the fall when food
becomes scarce, and the further fact
that the earlier their food is de-
stroyed that and the only thing in
that that will perish during the winter,
says Progressive Farmer, 1t becomes
apparent that the chief object in the
destruction of the cotton stalks in
the fall is to deprive the boil weevils
Of their food.
1t has been stated that burning the
stalks has in some cases destroyed
81 per cent. Of the boil weevils. This
can. at best. be nothing more than a
random guess, but II 1t were true, 1t
makes little difference whether the
weevils are burned or starve to
death, Just SO long as they die. The
important fact to be kept IN mind
is the early destruction of the food
Of the weevils. There is no late or
top crop, for the weevils have de
stroyed that, and only n thing IN
the way of an early destruction OF
the Gotten stalks is the picking OF
the crop made early in the season.
There is no need Of destroying the
cotton stalks unless 1t Is done early
