lowing remarks wore made by (1. W. Kuduly

"Th. farmer haa bean told that ha I. the moat Inde-

not know anything about a balanced ration for a bog or

"Th. farm.r hellerse that auoceaa 1. a matter of work-

"Head th. book on agriculture. I know bora who

''We must tnach Industrial education. There are lot.

The speaker urfred home economies for the
pirls which will mean much more to the na-
tion than to hnvo the fanner's (hiiiishti-r
tliumpinjr; a typewriter. lt us have dniiiestic
hcienoe and home economics and while they
are tniininir their heads they also will train
their hands.
.Mr. Kndaly advised the boyB to ?ct an edu-
cation before BlartinK fnnninK and said they
should (to to the A(rric.ultiiral and Mechanical
College even though they had to borrow the
money. They will then soon bo able to pay it
back and make good livings in place of a
bare existence.
Th.y aay you can't tegoh an old dog n.w trlcka."
he continued. 'Yet many men of to and 10 yeaia are
learning new trick. They are finding out and winning

The apeaker mad. an appeal to "atay dear of bad
habile" and to o. "clean manly boya eo that th.y might
bcom clean manly men."
Canning Clubs Entertained.
The Marion County (iirls Canning Club
short ramrse demonstration from Wednesday
May 11! to Saturday May 15 inclusive was
a great suct-ens.
Fifty-nine members of the Canning Club
were in attendance in bluo uniforms white
niironu and caps. The mascot littlo Jose-
phine Crnte wore a dress bedecked in bluo
and red ribbons which were worn at the Dal-
las State Fair and Waco Oitton Palace. Tho
Chamber of Commerce tendered liie girls an
nutomobile ride to Marshall Thursday May
l.'t where they were guests of the Harrison
County Canning Club.
The Cunning Oub will hold its annual ex-
hibit in September. Tho citizens have of-
fered $(f0 in cash prizes. The exhibits will
then be shipped to the Dallas State Fair.
Texas Fruit Undamaged.
College Station. That the fruit crop of
Fjtst Texas will be a boomer one unless pres
cut indications go wrung is the belief of W.
F. Proctor of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical ( 'ollcge state agent in charge of demon-
stration work. Proctor returned recently
from a tour of F.ast Texas. All the trees
nre healthy and thrifty according to Proctor
lie nn the indications are that this season's
fruit crop will be equal to if not above the
nonnnl crop in that section.
Contracted Wheat at $1.25.
(leorge V. Knssell has contracted 2000
bushels of wheat to the MeUrcgor Milling &
(train Company for $1.25 per bushel says the
McOregor Mirror. This is for No. 2 wheat
delivered in McOregor. Mr. Itnssell says he
expects to make more than 2000 bushels but
figured he would not like to sell this much at
$1-25 just to make sure of getting a good
strong price for at least part of his crop.
Bank Deposits Increase.
The bank statement of the three local
banks of Kallinger show the largest deposits
for any previous statement in the last six
years ' The heary increase in deposits is cred-
ited to diversified farming in that county
and to the rapid development of the ponltry
industry. The receipts from poultry and
eggs alone has averaged $1 2500 for the past
four months.
. 8ttn for Conr.holsjifl
erection this fall Several years ago there
was not a silo in this part of West Texas.
Work of On OlrL
And now comes Miss fiernice Carter Btate
agent in charge of home demonstration work
at the Agricultural and Mechanical college
nnd present figures sworn to by disinter-
ested parties to show that Texas farmers are
fur from wise when they fail to plant toma-
toes. One girl Lois Robertson of Comanohe
county produced and sold off of one-tenth of
an acre of tomatoes last year 4868 pounds of
tomatoes in addition to ther vegetables and
fruit s her total net profits from that one-
teiilh acre being dross receipts from
her patch were $2W.22 but the preparation
of tho soil and other expenditures reduced
her net profit to $193.
Knrolled in the girls' ennning and poultry
clubs of Texas are 0KK) of the state's bright-
est country girls. The work was started in
Texas in 1H12. Last year there were 3010
members but this yenr the membership baa
already jumped to 5000 and before the fiscal
year is ended will be much higher. Miss Car-
lei' is iisHistcd by Miss Cornelia Simpson.
An Era of Silo Building.
Silos iiro being erected all over Texa and
this means cheaper feeding. Succulent footl
is almost a necessity when pastures are brown
nnd scar. Animnls will not make satisfactory
Rains on tin' feed even though a balanced
rut ion be fed.
The coming of the silo means conservation
of feed. It is conservatively estimated that
when com is bunked in the field and tho
stiilks left to blench 40 percent of the feeding
vnlue of tho plant is wasted. F.ven a greater
loss perhaps is sustained when kaffir milo
nnd saccharine sorghums nre grown for grain
nnd the bends only saved leaving the stalks
lo tlccay in the field.
Koughnge is indispensable to economical
feeding and what crop will produce more per
acre than corn or ono of the sorghums when
converted into silage! Feeding from the silo
is also much more convenient thnn feeding
from tho hay loft where bulky roughage must
be bundled. Animals consume the entire
plant when silage is fed whereas much of the
htalks are wasted when fodder is fed instead.
The silo gives a better opportunity for rais-
ing livestock on a smnll fnrm as a few acres
of good land will be sufficient to fill one or
two silos whereas a great denl mny be needed
when the land must ne sown in pnstnre. The
advent of the silo meanB more than would Bt
first appear. It means that those who have
made this advance in conserving their feed-
ing resonrces will take advance ground in
other progressive practices of farm manage-
Farm Dairy and Ranch Notes.
A trip into the country from San Saba re-
cently disclosed that nearly every farm team
mot had from one to several cans of milk
in the wagon. Inquiry at the town crenmery
developed that these farmers were getting
eome ir-VK) a week for their milk and cream.
Fiftv fanners in the Milford trade terri-
tory planted 5rt!)5 acres in cotton Inst year;
this year they will plant 3882 acres in cotton.
Karl Morrison of Colorado recently sold a
registered Hereford bull calf two months old
to Thomas I-Jirgent of Merkel for $750.
Tho Agricultural anil Mechanical College
will send a good roads expert to Grayson
county to pass on tho durability of the mate-
rial available for tho constniction of the coun-
ty 's good roads.
' Wood county reports the strawberry crop
as better than for two years and prices sat-
isfactory to a strong demand. .
It is expected that wheat cutting will be
general' all ovor the Panhandle about tho
middle of June. The crop is heading out in
good shatie.
The district agricultural agent for Wichita
county says that the cotton acreage there has
been cut 50 per cent.
Tho first Texas tomatoes of the season were
sent from Ingleside on the 4th of May.
Some fannerB in tho neighborhood of New
Praunfels keep as many as 1000 hives of bees
nnd will average about 35000 pounds of
honey in a season.
Ten thousand boys of Texas are engaged
this year in growing corn the grain sor-
ghum's peanuts cotton and in raising pigs
nnd calves. Agricultural boys' clubs in
ltrnwis nnd Orange counties have organized
co-operative savings nnd investments move-
ments. .1. B. Miisten of Valley View has ."iOO acres

One firm of merchants at I.ueders paid the
farmers trading at that plnce $723 for butter
nnd eggs in one week. Maybe there wero
others.
( Iwners of overflow lands on the North Sul-
phur river in Delta county arc organizing a
drainage district in order to build a levee.
More than a million pounds of spring wool
is expected to he stored in the wool ware-
house at San Angelo within the next two
months. The clip has lieen late in arriving
owing to the scarcity of shearers the heavy
rains and the bad roads. It is now beginning
to come in fast
The Poultry Association and Marketing
end IHversification Association of Mineral
Wells has put a buyer in the field who will
visit farmers and instruct them how to pro-
duce eggs that will bring 25 cents a dozen
in the summer time.

You can buy the machines to manufacture these

home labor when it would otherwise be idle you can
build a first-class Cement Silo Water Trough Cirain
Miti or Hop House at less than the cost of the same
building erected of lumber because of the fact that the
greater poriiun of the raw material that is the sand and gravel can
be gotten in your own neighborhood and in many instances on your

We furnish with the machines full instructions so that any
