Rape for Hogs.

If you have hogs, have rape. Set
aside a patch of your best land for
il and order the seed now. Expert
ment stations and farmers have found
this crop to be one of the best pork
producers of the fall and winter graz
ing crops. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture states that rape
should have a place in almost every
grazing system for hogs in the South.
1t may be planted by itself either
broadcast or in drills, or seeded in a
mixture with oats and rye. 1t can b."
planted in September in the upper
tier of Southern states and later in
the season in the lower South. Cool,
moist weather is favorable to it.
Three pounds of seed to the acre is
sufficient if drilled in, with five
pounds if seeded broadcast. Rape
should be planted on fertile land and
allowed to make a good growth be-
fore being pastured. An acre of good
rape should furnish grazing for three
months for from twelve to fifteen
hogs weighing from seventy-five to
one hundred pounds each.-The Pro-
gresSive Farmre.

LAND WAITS ON RECLAMATION
Water and Modern Methods Will Make the Desert of Turkestan Bloom
 Like a Garden.

Turkestan is, of course, primarily agricultural country, and cotton, the major crop. The other industries still await development There is tre- mendous field for the cultivation of vineyards and rice and other cereals At the same time, the development of agriculture will greatly stimulate the sheep-raising industry, which is now in the hands of primitive natives, uninstructed in modern methods. The fruit industry awaits the guiding hand of modern science. With the help or California specialists, Turkestan could be transformed into an enormous fruit garden. There is at present only one factory for fruit preserving. Similar ly, the fish teeming in the lakes and rivers need only the introduction of modern industry to place them upon the food markets of the world. The silk industry, if properly organized would easily become one of the most important in the world. The mountains of Turkestan are rich in unexploiteC minerals. Gold, iron, copper, coal anc many rare and precious stones anc metals await the pioneer.
 There is an old legend in Turkestan that the Eden of the first man was
 placed in the valley of Ferghana aho that for his sin Allah laid curse upon the country and transformed 1t into desert. The quickening touch of water restores the desert to richness and fer tility surpassing all legends Who VII build Eden anew?

Measuring Colors.

An English scientist has, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine, worked out method of taking exact measurement of color. Black, white and gray are photometricalfy com pared with standard white, and their composition expressed in percentage of black or white. A color, such as red, is compared with a white surface in a pure red light. If the red ap- pears darker, 1t is matched with a gray surface under a red light, the percentage of black then being the same in both. Assigning the number 25 to red, such a composition as cin
 nabar would be signified by the fig
 ures 25 .O4 IS, meaning red with pel cent of white and IS per cent of black

Where Life Is Longest.

Which is the healthiest place In the world?
 If the index is the death rate, as 1t presumably must be, we have to go to the unlikely neighborhood of the antarctic to find it. In the last colonial report from the Falkland islands the death rate for 1917 and 1918 was 5.3l per 1000. During ten years the death rate in England and Wales did not drop below 13.3, and was as high as 17.6.
 Yet the climate of the Falkland is- lands is vigorous and the country is more bleak and barren than the Shet- lands. High winds blow almost con- stuntly, but there is no scarcity of sunshine. To these, Natures two great disinfectants, is probably due the longevity of the sparse population London Tit-Bits.

To Destroy Grasshoppers.

Poisoned bran bait is simple, re- liable and cheap method of destroy ing grasshoppers. The formula is: Wheat bran, 25 pounds; Paris green, one pound or white arsenic, one pound; lemons or oranges, six finely chopped fruits; low-grade molasses, two quarts. The mixture is scattered over the fields. Beneficial results have been obtained from the poison, but in whatever process is followed, commun- ication must unite, for if one farm is rid of the insects, new invasion will come in from the adjoining farm.
 An interesting incident of all poison baits is that lemon juice is added, thus 1t seems that 1t Is necessary to hand the hopper lemon in order to get rid of him.

THE FINAL TEST

The final test of every wise buyer IS quality not quantity service not saving perfection not price. In the purchasing of those things upon which the success of business is dependent, the aim is to se- cure that which will certainly pass the test of every emergency rather than find something that may meet the require ments. This rule applies equally to the purchase of merchandise, machinery or insurance.
