HOW TO KILL HAWKS.
LETTER From One Who Knows.

Wilmington, S. c., April %, 1915.
Dear Sirs:-I read an article in
your paper on how to protect chick
ems from hawks. I know this is a
very interesting question to a great
many people, and I will give a solu-
ton to the problem that is effective.
Wire netting is impracticable and
scare crows are not worth the time
it takes to put them up. The RENE
dy is strychnine. When the first
brood of chickens hatch, take a
small quantity of strychnine and
enough molasses to make a soft
paste mixed with the strychnine,
raise up the feathers on the back of
the head, and paste a small bit of
the mixture to the skin, and press
the feathers back so it will not be
exposed to sight, else the other
chickens will pick it, and get killed
themselves, and you are ready for
Mr.. Hawk. The first chicken he
catches spells death to him. When
a hawk catches a chicken he usually
unless he has a nest, stops at the
first thicket he comes to and pro-
ceeds to make a meal. I have fol-
lowed them frequently to the piece
woods and brought them back to the
house. I have found them dead
beside the chick. They begin with
the head that has been treated, and
die before they can finish. Hawks
are migratory, and you will have to
do this ~strychnine business every
spring. You car kill every hawk
in the neighborhood this way, but
they will come back by the next
spring.
You can recommend this cure as
certain, only be careful not to leave
any strychnine exposed for the little
chicks to pick at. When a hawk be-
gins to raid your broods you have
got to kill him or he will destroy
large numbers of the chicks. This
remedy is simple and easy to apply,
and certainly will give satisfaction.
1 forgot to say there is not a par
ticle of danger in treating the chick,
and it will be necessary to make a
second application a it will wear
off. r. F. Morris.

PINK BOIL WEEV|L -.
IN FOREIGN COTTON
Manufacturers and Importers Con-
fer With Government Official
to Prevent Introduction of
Pest Here.

Washington, April 20.-Cotton
manufacturers and importers today
conferred with department Of agri-
culture officials on tentative regula-
lions for importation and use of for
eign cotton, designed to prevent in
PRODUCTION in the United States of
the pink boil weevil. Some manu-
facturers declared they felt the pro-
posed measures were too drastic and
recommended modification.
Department officials desired to
learn the attitude of the trade be-
fore making the regulations perma-
nent.
A.. j. Woodbury., of Boston, secre-
tary of an association of cotton
manufacturers, proposed mending or
patching all the coverings of the
Egyptian cotton before it is removed
from the piers. He said foreign cot
ton crops will be removed toward
the United States before the disin-
lection regulations are imposed on
January 1, 1916, and that the gov
eminent should take immediate
steps to safeguard manufacturing
interests.
Representatives of manufacturing
interests cautioned the horticultural
board to test the effect of fumiga-
ton on cotton before taking action,
pointing out that slight deteriora-
ton from chemical treatment might
cause a Encouragement Of the whole
system for fabrics.
Representatives of cotton associ-
atoms agreed to supply the board
with sufficient bales of cotton for
comparative tests and promised to
cooperate with the government.
The regulations tentatively pro-
pose control of entry of foreign cot
ton by permit. Prior to January LIST,
no material restriction is contempla-
ted, but after then the regulations
propose disinfection under a depart
ment Inspector as a condition of en-
try that would not apply to coun-
tries able to certify cotton to be
free of diseases and pests. Control
over the imported cotton at mills is
reserved, under a system of screen
ing and licenses.

How to Produce Hogs In the South.
(The Progressive Farmer.)

(The Progressive Farmer.)
The first duty of the farmers Of
the South is to produce the hogs and
pork products consumed in the
South. To do less than this is to
give up to that extent, at least, the
profs resulting from the growing of
our so-called money crops, like cot
ton, tobacco, truck, peanuts, etc.
The soundness of the above can
only be questioned on the ground
that we cannot produce hogs in the
South as cheaply as can be done in
other sections, and that the differ
ence in the cost of production
against US is at least equal to the
freight and other handling charges
for bringing these pork products to.
Us from distant sections.
If we can even produce hogs as:
cheaply as can be done in other Sec.
tons it will certainly pay US to pro-
duce sufficient for home consump-
ton; for the freight and other hand
ling charges alone, are equal to a
liberal profit to the producer.
The Progressive Farmer is not
ready to endorse all the extravagant
statements made regarding the ease
and cheapness with which hogs can
be produced in the South. It requires
care, intelligence, and considerable
cost to produce hogs anywhere; but
in view of our longer growing sea-
sons, our numerous legume crops es-
pecially fitted for hog feeding, and
the cheapness of the lands, we have
no hesitation in stating that the;
South al produce hogs at as low or
a lower cost than can the Corn Belt,
where the most of the pork products
consumed in the South are now pro-
duced.

The Rslixiou. Card Player.

The account of it was thus given in
the English journals:
A sergeant commanded the SOL
diers at the church, when the parson
had read the prayers he took the
text. Those who had Bibles took
them out; but this soldier had mel
Their Bible nor common prayer book,
and pulling cut a pack of cards, ne
spread them before him. He first
looked at one card and then at an
other. The sergeant of the Com
pany saw him and said: Richard. put
up the cards, this is no place for
them.
Never mind that, said Richard.
When the services were over the
constable took Richard a prisoner
and brought him before the Mayor.
Well, said the Mayor, what have
you brought this soldier here for?
For playing cards in church.
Well, soldier, what have you to
say for yourself?
Much, sir, I hope.
Very good, if not l. will punish
you severely.
I have been, said the soldier,
about six weeks on the march. l
have neither Bible nor COMMON
prayer book. I have nothing but
a pack of cards, and I hope to salts
fy your honor of the purity of my
intention.
Then spreading the cards before
the Mayor, he began with the ace:
The ACE reminds me that there is
but n God. The DUCE reminds
me of the Father and Son. The
TRAY reminds me Of the Fathe-.
Son and Holy Ghost.
The FOUR reminds me of the
four Evangelists that preached,
Matthews, Mark, Luke and John.
The FIVE reminds me of the five
wise virgins who trimmed their
lamps there were ten, five we're
wise and five were foolish and were
shut out. The SIX reminds me that
in six days the Lord made Heaven
and Earth. The SEVEN reminds
me that on the seventh day God
rested from his great work and hal
lowed it. The EIGHT reminds me
of the eight righteous persons who
were saved when God destroyed the
earth, viz: Noah and his wife and
three sons and their wives. The
NINE reminds me of the nine lepers
that were cleansed by u Saviour.
There nine out of the ten that never
returned thanks. The TEN re-
minds me of the ten commandments
which God handed down to Moses
on the table of stone. The KING
reminds me of the Great King of
Heaven, which is God Almighty.
The QUEEN reminds me of the
Queen of Sheba who visited Solo
mon, for she was a woman as he
was a man. She brought with her
fifty boys and fifty girls, ell dressed
in boys apparel, for King Solomon
to tell which were boys and which
were girls. The King serit for wa
ter for them to wash. The girls
washed to the elbows and the boys
to the wrist, so King Solomon told
by that.
Well, said the Mayor, "you have
described every card in the pack ex-
cept one.
"What is that"
"The KNAVE," said the, Mayor.
l will give Your Honor a de-
scription of that, too, if you will not
be angry"
II will not" said the Mayor, eff
you do not term me to be a knave."
"The Greatest Knave I know Of.
is the constable who brought me
here"

eff he is the greatest Knave, but he
is the greatest fool"
When l count now many spots
there are or a pack of cards, 1 find
three hundred and sixty five. AS
many as there are days in the year.
