Last of Noted Twins
Dies in Massachusetts

The last of two brothers, called
the most remarkable twins in Amer
lea, died recently at the age OF
81 in Newton, Mass. He was Darius
Cobb, and he and Nyrus Cobb never
were separated for any length of
time until the death of Cyrus Cobb
in 1903 Working together, both
gained fame as artists and sculp-
tors.
So striking was the likeness be-
tween the two brothers they We're
frequently, almost generally, :. mis-
taken for each other. No ordinary
person could tell the difference be-
tween their photographs and very
few between their persons.
Not long after the death of his
brother, Darius told of the remark

the other half on earth. My broth

Suggestions for Preparing Fleece
For Market

Suggestions for Preparing Fleece
For Market ..
Shear the sheep when the wool
is absolutely dry, never when
there is any moisture in the
fleece.
The sheep should be shorn only
on a smooth. dry surface, pref
erably a planned board flooring,
never on the dirt.
Care should be taken to keep
the fleece intact. Avoid second
cuts. which reduce the average
length of the staple.
Clip all locks from each fleece
and pack separately. Never per-
nit them to remain in the fleece.
Fleeces should be prepared with
the flesh side out. never the
weather side.
Fold. roll. or use fleece box for
preparing the fleece.
Tie each fleece separately. New
er tie two fieeces together, nor
pack and market united wool.
Use only enough Irvine to tie
fleece securely.
PAPER or hard glazed surface
Irvine should be used. Never use
sisal nor binder Irvine.
Never permit the fleece to come
into contact with chaff, hay,
dust, nor any other foreign ma
terial.
Place the tied feeces in regula-
ton wool sacks or cover them
with canvas or new burlap.
Select clean, dry place for
storing the wool until sold. Never
permit the wool to lie upon the
ground nor store it in a base
ment.
Keep the white and black wool
separate. Never permit any por-
ton of black wool to be mixed
through the white.
Divide the bury, seedy, cotted,
dead. black. and gray fieeces from
the clean. white, well-grown wool,
and pack separately. Never pack
all grades together indiscrim1-
nately.

POISONING THE BOIL wEEyIL
L. b., Brentwood, Ga, writes: Please
advise if control of boil weevil by poison
can be successfully applied to field acre
age, and If so, give full instructions
for same.
Below you will find a summarized
statement setting forth about allthere
is of practical value to present at
this time relative to tae method of
controlling the boil weevil through
the agency of poisonous sprays
A stomach poison is busted on the
plants in such manner and in such
plants. 1t has been determined that
boil Weevils con be poisoned through
the water they drink to better advan-
tage than through the food that they
eat because they do not feed to any
extent on the outer tissues of the
plant. The poison in a finely-pow-
dered form is busted on the plants
early in the morning or late in the
afternoon SO that it becomes sus-
pended in the dewdrops which are
the source Of the weevils' water sup
ply. Calcium arsenate has proven
cheapest as well as most effective IN
these experiments, and we expect to
use this substance in our demonstra-
tons, using about five pounds per
acre at each application and making
about five applications at intervals OF
approximately two weeks and begin
ming at the first sign of serious in
festation. We may find that it is not

| ties and in some cases it probably
will not be necessary to make as
many applications.

of inquiries we receive relative to the
use of, poisonous sprays in fighting

that the method of practice which has
been found to be of some success in
the past should again be outlined for
