easily be accomplished by raising the

boards will keep their position against
the blocks. Also incline the table to-
ward C. The crossbars, which have
been sawed 40 inches long, are now
nailed one across each end and one in
the middle, as shown in the cut. These
are to be six inches wide and only
on one side Of the panel, and nailed
with Sd. wire nails, which should be
clinched. The two end crossbars can
rest against the ends of blocks f, e,

from the upper edge Of each end of
the lower board outside of the cross
bar. This will make fence that is
40 inches high when the lower boards
rest on the ground. By following the
method outlined above the panels will
all be of the same dimension and will
thus fit the triangles without difficulty.

KILL PECAN TREE GIRDLERS
Gather Up and Burn All Twigs That
Fall to Ground-Do Not Allow to
Breed Unchecked.

In answer to the many inquiries
from all parts of the state In regard
to tree girdling insect which does a
great deal Of damage to pecan trees,
r. w. Harmed Of the chronological de-
partme1k, Mississippi A. and M. COL
lege, offers the following advice and
suggestions as to the best means of
combating the pest:
The pecan tree girdler is very easy
to control, as the eggs Of the insect
are laid in holes punctured by the fe-
male beetle Just below the buds on
the twig that Is cut off, The larvae,
If allowed to hatch. will crawl into
the ground to pupate, therefore it is
necessary to gather up and burn all
twigs that fall to the ground or that
break and hang from the trees. If this
system Is carefully followed each fall
the pecan tree girdler will do very
little damage, but IL allowed to breed
unchecked 1t is likely to cause con-
siderable loss"

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery of Scheele in
ITS that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that Rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms a. head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
It was DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel.
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that il taken before meals will carry Oh
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladies dis.
appear. You can easily prove this your
sell, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce lOc. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than Ethia and eliminates uric acid a. hot

Oil From Fruit Stone Kernels.

Germany is preparing to take steps
toward relieving her shortage of oils
and fats by extracting an oil from the
kernels Of fruit stones, such as the
pits Of the plumb and the cherry, both
of which grow freely there. The pits
ar boiled In a calcium chloride solu-
ton, which separates the kernel from
its shell. The Oil is expressed from
the kernel. The chief difficulty lies in
the fact that the kernels of such fruits,
especially the peach, contain minute
quantities of hydrocyanic acid, some
times called Oil Of bitter almonds.
This is extremely poisonous, but spe-
cial methods have resulted in its pres
ence being reduced to a mere negli-
gible trace, according to the reports.

SECURING PURE c0TT0NsEED
Best Results Obtained by Ginning
Early In Season or Waiting Until
Rush 10 Over.

Cotton growers who wish to main
tain the purity of their seed can OBJ
tain best results either by ginning very
early In the season or after the rush
Of the season is over, when the ginner
can take greater care.
It is practically impossible to main
tain the purity Of seed without the CO.
operation Of the ginner, and it is I'M
reasonable to ask him to delay his
regular ginning work and keep other
patrons waiting.

c0WPEAS FINE FOR POULTRY
Make Most Desirable Feed for Laying
Hens-6e Cautious az They Are
Rich In Protein.

Cowpeas are a very desirable feed
for laying hens. Sometimes they will
not eat them very readily, in which
case the peas may be fed ground in a
dry mash. However, after while they
will begin to eat peas greedily, in
which case care must be exercised not
to feed them too freely.
Never feed more than Is per cent of
the ration in cowpeas, as they are very
rich In protein.

HARD TO C0NFINE LEGHoRNs
Fowls Are Light and Fly Hieh-Where
Chickens Are Confined Heavier
Fowls Are Best.

Leghorns are light birds and fly high.
On this account it is difficult to keep
them confined.
On places where the chickens are to
be confined heavier birds will be more
satisfactory. besides when a fowl Is
wanted for the table the heavier birds
supply the most meat.
