In a year, evidence is overwhelming
that the COWS should be managed so
as to calve during the autumn months.
For like reasons, September is the
best month in most parts of the coun-
try, for heifer to drop her first calf
In order to best develop as a COW.
This almost regardless of the animal
at the first calving.
Calves born in the fall are made
easily reared and make better cows
than those born in the spring and
summer. 1t seems needless to rehearse
the stock argument on the subject,
based on long experience of successful
dairymen, but brief recapitulation
may be useful.
The COW or heifer calving in the fall
needs the most healthy and nutritious
pasturage just following the strain
while coming into full flow. Just at
this time, when some falling off is
likely to occur, the animal is brought
to the stable and receives good care;
the winter feeding and the returns
from it may be depended upon to ex-
coed the midsummer results for any
like period.
At the stage OF milking and gesta-
ton, when another dropping off of the
milk yield may be looked for, the fresh
pastures induce a fresh COW, lengthen
The milking season and increase the
years total product.
December and January are good
months in which to control and super
wise the service of bull Midsummer
and the dog days are a good time
for the COW to be dry and preparing to
calve again.
With fall-fresh cows, the greatest
and richest product comes at the sea-
son when milk and butter are always
comparatively high in price.
In actual practice four fall-fresh
cows have been found equal to five
which calved in the spring in -
months product and at about four
fifths the cost.

Form Notes

Cut the silago into one-haif inch
pieces.
Distribute thoroughly in clio and
pack well.
Corn cut too early makes sour, wa
terry silcge.
Cut corn for silage when kernels
begin to glaze.
Good farming is impossible with
out good teams.
A little wet straw with oats sown on
it seals the silo effectively.
The improvement and utilization of
muck land is increasing rapidly .
When blowing in the fall is one of
the best times for deepening the
soil.
If corn is dry when put into the
silo, wet it by running water into the
blower.
Watch your machinery for loose
bolts and nuts, and don't forget the
oil can.
Barbed wire fences are not worth
while If you can't keep them well
stretched and stapled.
There Is a tendency on the part Of
some seedsmen to introduce old va
rieties under new names.
Muck is an abnormal soil consisting
largely of the remains of plants in
an advanced stage Of decay. :.

back to c" IL inches, making the cut
just in the direction in which the
limb should grow.
All trees should be kept low headed
Be careful not to cut off the lower
limbs when it is not necessary, as they
are usually the very ones to be left
Lowest limbs should be from 10 to "a
inches from the ground. If the tree
has been pruned so that the top is
much higher than this, it is usually
best to cut the entire top off about
three feet from the ground and de-
pend upon forming the top from limbs
which come out below this point.
Peach trees can stand more severe
pruning than either cherry or apple.
Peach trees should generally be cut
off about Is inches from the ground,
and if there are any branches below
that point they should be cut back to
the first or second bud. Cherries CT
plums need practically no pruning ex-
cept to cut the branches off foot or
so from the trunk.

MAKE THE SKINNER SECURE
Scheme for Fastening Cream Separa-
tor to Cement Floor Tried and
Found Very Satisfactory.

Here is scheme for fastening a
cream separator down on cement
floor which we have tried and found
very satisfactory. Before putting in
the cement floor, a three-fourths inch
bolt was threaded to the middle, then
put through hole in a small piece of
scrap iron, writes Dan Belt of La
Crosse, Kan, in the Farmers Mail and
Breeze. The bolt and iron were firm
Iy imbedded in the fresh cement, leav-
ing the threaded end sticking out. The
base of the separator was then firmly
bolted to two pieces of two by four,

KILLING SURPLUS OF DRoNES
califsrnia Bee Keeper Gives pescrip-
ton Of Sieve He Has Used and
Found to Be Satisfactory.

w. A. Seeding of Monterey, Cal,
gives in Gleanings the following
quick way of killing a surplus Of
drones:
II have read in the bee journals a
description of queen-sieve and its
uses, but never saw drone-sieve de-
scribed, although the occasion for its
use may arise in every apiary some
times. Here is one that have been
using with good results: / nail a
queen-excluder to the bottom of an
empty hive body and set it on top
Of another hive body close to the
hive to be operated on, and shake
into this sieve bees and drones from
every comb except the queen, and
cover it as quickly as possible. After
replacing the combs l put Porter
bee escape on top, and on this the
sieve with the drones, after having
brushed of the bees that have clus-
tered on the under side of the sieve.
Next morning you find all the bees
that remained with the drones have
passed down the escape, and the
drones on their backs kicking the
bucket. To shorten the agony of
death, put the sieve over a teaspoon
full of burning sulphur, and in minute
it's all over"

VINE CUTTINGS FOR SPRING
Should BE Kept Moist Until Rooted,
and Then Given Frequent Guilt
Vaton-Hoe Often.

Currant and grape cuttings, planted
in beds in early spring, are mulched
in late summer preferably with saw
dust or tan bark, and kept moist until
the cuttings are rooted. Later on the
propagating bed is given frequent

plants, which are IS inches apart.
This keeps fresh soil around them,
keeps down the weeds and water is
given when the sell is very dry.
A propagating bed for strawberry
plants also needs some attention. The
weeds must be kept out 1t is best
to cut off the late runners, as the early
ones make the strongest plants. If
several varieties are in the bed set
up boards between each to prevent
them running together, and be sure to
label each division with the name of
the variety.

the boarding. Space up the same on
the other end and with chalk line
strike lines from end to end.
Then set the dividers at " inches,
and commencing u inch from the in
side of the post space lengthwise on
top and bottom of boarding. With a
straightedge or chalk line make per-
pendicular lines. With 11-64 bit or
drill bore a hole at each intersection,
and drive god spikes from both ways
as illustrated. This will give a 3-inch
circle for each ear of corn.
If you cannot get 1x12-inch hard
wood boards for this purpose, get 2x
IL plank and use sod spikes. A
space 21s feet square, using both
sides of the rack, will hold bushel
of corn. The rows at the bottom CT
the cut show the heads of the spikes.
This rack is mouse-proof and as each
ear is kept from coming in contact
with the others, the corn will quickly
dry out.

FALL FRESH cows ARE BEST
II Bull Is Confined and Service Con-
trolIed, Animals May Be Managed
to Suit Owners Wish.
(By W. n. UNDERwooD.)

It is a we'll known fact that by far
a greater number of dairy cows are
allowed to follow the most natural
course, and either by indifference or
intention, they freshen in the spring.
The producer of milk for sale, if he
has an even trade, may want to have
an even number of fresh COWS in
every month of the year.
If the bull is kept confined and serv-
ice controlled, this can be regulated
as a rule, although unpleasant irregu-
larities in breeding will sometimes &C.
cur and stubbornly resist correction.
But, if the prime object is to pro-
duce the greatest quantity of milk of
the best quality and the greatest profit

REPOSITORY. FOR SEED CORN
Details of Rack That Is Mouse
Proof and as Each Ear Is Separate
They Dry Out Quickly.

Here is very useful rack for say
ing and drying seed corn. To make
it, take two pieces of 2x6, feet long,
for the bed pieces, and two pieces of
SKA, 6 feet long, for the upright posts.
Gain the posts on to the bed pieces
and bolt and nail them securely, says
the Farm and Home. Then take two
six-quart milk pans and place the end
of the post in the center of the pan
and mark it.
Cut two Sits cornerwise across the
place marked on the pan, turn up the
points and slide the pan down over
the post to point 20 inches from the
bottom and nail it to the posts. Now
take 1x12-inch hardwood boards of
whatever length you wish to make
the rack and nail them to the posts
Ia inches apart.

and the machine set directly over the
bolt in the floor. Then an old disk
from a disk harrow was slipped over
the bolt so the edge extended out over
the two by four on each side. A nut
was screwed down tightly over the
disk. In case the cement floor has al
ready been laid, chisel out a hole
about six inches square, making it
faring at the bottom. Then set in your
bolt and fill the hole with a mixture
Of equal parts cement and sand.

WOODMAN EXCURSION
To SYLVAN BEACH

One OF the jolliest crowds which
ever came together in Bryan gathered
at the depot yesterday morning for
the Woodmen of the World excursion
to its Sylvan Beach picnic.
A special train of ten coaches was
provided, which stopped at Navasota
and other points down the line, ard
the crowd when it arrived at the
grounds numbered at least 900. The
train left Bryan at yesterday morn
ing and arrived at Sylvan Beach at
1O:45. II left last night at Z. reaching
Bryan at 11:45.
On the program for the day were
addresses by Rev. NJ. e. Weaver asd
l.. NJ. Hewitt, which were received with
interest and appreciation. Innumcr-
able amusements were at hand for the
pleasure seekers, who enjoyed bath
ing, good fishing, dancing, boating and
the bountiful dinner served to all by
the w. o. w. who demonstrated that
as host, they leave nothing undone
which contributes to the satisfaction
of their guests.
A baseball game between Bryan and
Caldwell proved very exciting, and
until the last of the ninth the score
stood four and four when Yardley
Knocked a three-bagger which brought
in man and won the game for Bryan
by to score.
All who went on the trip spent a
delightful day, and express the great.

Against the Amendment.

The Dallas Times Herald is against
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution whereby it is sought to give
the legislature power TO issue bonds
! in unlimited amounts and referring
to recent pamphlet by superintend-
ent Bradley on the subject, says:
"F. NJ. Bradley, state superintendent
of public instruction, is sending out
very interesting pamphlet in which he
has written down his arguments in
favor of the adoption of the proposed
constitutional amendment which pro-
vides, among many other things, that
the legislature be empowered to issue
in unlimited quantities bonds against
1.-THE credit of the taxpayers of the
Estate.
Mr.. Bradley is interested primarily
in the welfare of the schools. He has
a greater right to advance the educa-
tional argument as the first reason for
adopting the constitutional amend
ments than some others who have
only an incidental interest in the
schools and deep interest in some
of the other projects in this Texas
omnibus measure
"Mr. Bradley. however. does not
touch upon the most vital question of
the proposed constitutional amend
ments in forcing the people to take all
or none.
The schools are strong enough to
stand alone in their appeal to the tax
payers for more money. But they are
not strong enough to support unlimit-
ed bond issues for all kinds of legisla-
tive schemes.
"The legislature, out of an abund-
ant caution, has decided in the home
rule act, that citizens shall not vote
for each proposition separately when
changing their charters. Why should
the solons at Austin arrogate to them
selves the rights they would deny the
of any community,
THE schools are not the main issue
at the coming election. They are side
tracked by the legislative joker.
THE educational institutions will
have their day before the court of the
people at later time. Then the citi-
zen won't have so much of that ct
cetera to look into when he casts his
ballot abilene Reporter.

The Proposed Amendments.

On last Saturday, standing on the
east side of the court house, Senator
McNealus spoke to a large and very
attentive crowd of Rockwell citizens.
His subject was the pending consti-
tutional amendments, to be voted on
on July 18th. The senator is op-
posed to the adoption of the amend
ments; and, judging from the demon
stration and applause received by
the speaker we would say the crowd
was in sympathy with him.
We are of the opinion that the SEN
ator is correct in his opposition to
the amendments; and they should, we
think, be buried, so that the legisla-
ture will never have the temerity to
thrust such an unreasonable PROPOSE
ton upon the people any more. The
senator has made a study of the uues-
tons involved and puts the seal of
his disapproval on same Being an
honest, patriotic man, his words of
warning should be needed.
By all manner of means, let US all
vote against these ubiquitous mea-
sures.-Rockwall Tribune.

Bryan, Texas. June 20, 1913.
To the Tax Payers and People of the
State of Texas:
! On July 10Th you are called on to
decide a very important question;
that is, you have to vote on Resolu-
ton IS, and if same is carried it will
give our legislature the right and
power to issue for any purpose they
see fit any amount of bonds they wish
to have for the improvement of state
institutions, and if any future legisla-
ture should issue fifty million dollars
of bonds, you all will agree to pay the
same by voting for the amendment
No. IS, and all your property is Sc
curity for those bonds, and every tax
payer and property holder will be
taxed certain amount every year I'M
til the bonds are paid of We have
now good and safe bond law. The
same gives the taxpayers of every
county or city the privilege to petit
ton our county commissioners courts
to order an election for the amount
of the bonds needed, and all our tax
payers have the right to vote for or
against the bond issue. But if you
vote for the amendment No. IS you
will give our future legislatures the
power and you have no say at all, but
all your property stands mortgaged to
those bond holders until these bonds
are paid of. | think it would be a
far better plan for our people of
Texas to levy small amount of taxes
on their property every year for the
and the upbuilding of all
our state institutions and colleges.
The same would put those institu-
tons on a cash basis and it would
not run our state into debt and we
would certainly save the amount OF
we would have to pay to
those bondholders annually, and the
said measure, if adopted, would also
make all of our public institutions
more independent, and take them al
together and forever out OF politics.
and on the other hand if we should
adopt the bond measure amendment
No. IS, the same would place all of
our public state institutions more
