in the ground where 1t is needed.
If not stirred in due season after
rain, the ground bakes, the soil tubes
form connection through the baked
surface with the air, and the moisture
escapes with damaging rapidity. On
the other hand, by making the soil
mulch at the proper time, the farmer
who begins to study its effect is as
tonished at how long he may, by stir

proper manner, hold the moisture

RATIONS FOR PIGS.

A reader wishes to know If mix
ture of seventy pounds of corn meal
twenty-three pounds of wheat mid
dlings and seven pounds of digester
tankage will make a good ration for
young hogs"
This will make most excellent ra
ton for pigs. Possibly for pigs under
five or six months of age, the corn
meal might be reduced to sixty
pounds, and the middling and tankage
increased to thirty pounds and ten
pounds, respectively. And for pigs
over seven or eight months of age
possibly the corn meal might be in
creased and the tankage decreased
slightly. Wheat middlings form a
well.balanced ration for pigs and II
requires one part of tankage to bal
ance six to ten parts OF corn. accord

Probably no enterprise has been

urban does to the city of Bryan and
to the territory that 1t serves. At the
same time the gentlemen building the
line have had an unprecedented sea
son of difficulties to overcome In order
to provide this much desired service
to the public. A trip made over the
line recently was revelation In re-
suits of courage and determination.
The marks of the December floods
were almost entirely wiped out. Traf-
fic is above the average for new
roadbed The management put forth
extra effort to resume traffic after the
December food in order to provide
the planters transportation facilities
to secure building material stock
feed and planting seed. This afford
ed opportunity to use all work stock
in blowing, an advantage fully appre-
ciated by the planters.
The territory served by this line
is one of the richest agricultural val
leys in the world, about 10000 acres
in extent, producing near $4,000 bales
of cotton and 10000 tons of cotton
seed besides corn and other products
At present the service is only one
train each way per day, except Satur-
day and Sunday. when two trains
each way are run. There is a car
load of groceries and supplies goes
out of Bryan into this territory now
being served daily, and some days
more.
The planter is now able to secure
his supplies of every kind at his head
quarters at an infinistesimal advance
over Bryan prices, instead of being
obliged to maintain stock to haul sup
plies from town. To Bryan it means
a largely increased trade territory,
as much of the Lyons, Caldwell and
Somerville trade is now supplied from
Bryan, and when the line is completed
much more will be added.

THE SOIL MULCH.

Moisture escapes from the soil
through capillaries or tubes connect
ing with the surface. Anything which
breaks these up at the surface has
the effect to hold the moisture in.
The reason there are fish worms
under the old, rotten log in a dry
time, is because there is moisture un
der it. The moisture is there because
1t cannot get out, the log obstructine
the soil tubes at the surface, holding
it in.
BY breaking up these tubes at the
surface, by means of the soil mulch
created by more or less shallow stir
ring OF the surface soil, performs the
same office as the old log. The moist
ure from below rises by capillary at
traction till It reaches the soil mulch

Texas needs more road builders.

PAPERS CALL FOR VERA CRUZ.

Washington, May l3.--The new
dreadnaught Texas Is to see her first
actual service in Mexican waters. The
greatest of Uncle Sans battleships
was yesterday afternoon ordered from
the New York Navy Yard to Hampton
Roads to take on supplies and then
her papers will call for direct steam
ing to Vera Cruz. These are the
ships first sailing orders, hence be-
coming an integral part of the navy.
Secretary Daniels said yesterday he
did not know when the Texas would
be able to make Galveston to receive
the silver service being purchased for
the great vessel by the patriotic peo
pie of Texas. 1t was made clear that
this will all depend upon the outcome
of the Mexican situation. II the
mediators succeed In avoiding war
1t may be but a short time before the
Texas is enabled to spend several
DAYS In port at Galveston. II hostili-
ties are resumed II may be many
weeks or months before the presenta
ton exercises can be held.
1t was said that conditions might
be such that the Texas could touch
at Galveston for very brief stop
within comparatively few days, and
that word has been sent to the com
mittee in charge of the States gilt
that owing to the uncertainty II would
be advisable to be prepared to take
quick action on short notice, so that
the presentation could be made with
out greatly delaying the movements
of the battleship. Secretary Daniels
added that he had agreed to give the
committee all the notice possible UNI
der these circumstances Just as soon
as he could ascertain few days In
advance what would be required Of

leave Hampton Roads Friday.
