Fighting the Weeds.

We often have inquiries how to kill
this particular weed, and that other
particular weed, and read of many
unique ways of doing this thing. One
man is troubled with the yellow toad
flax, and he hauls load of manure or
some other such rubbish, and buries
the plants several feet deep. The plant
tries to push through to the light, but
rots, root and branch, before it sue
ceeds. Another tells us by giving the
plants twist in the neck during q cer-
tain period of the moons signs, the cur
rent of the sap is dislocated, and death
ensues. Again, we are told to cut the
plant little below the ground, and put
a little salt on the exposed part. If
there be pretty good crop of weeds,
a boy may reasonably expect to catch
his bird by putting salt on its tail in as
soon time as one would destroy field
of weeds by this salt plan.
The fact is, the only good weapon in
the war against weeds is an early and
persistent use of the hoe, fork and culti-
vator. Few plants can stand the use of
these long. A field may be full of the
most noxious weeds = even Canada
thistle or horse nettle-but put in corn,
and kept worried by the cultivator and
they will be found to have hard time
of it. The larger pieces torn up can be
gathered or raked together and burned,
and the few smaller pieces as they
sprout-as sprout they will after the
most careful collecting of all that can
be seen-may be lifted with hand
trowel and taken out. 1t takes some
labor of course to do this; but it is much
less than one would suppose, and really
much less than the patent plans already
referred to, which will exemplify the
old maxim that lazy people generally
take the most trouble. - Germantown

Take Care OF the Mixers.

THE care of COWS during the hot
season is one of prime Importance to
the dairyman. This is the season when
they necessarily shrink in the quantity
of milk given unless properly fed and
looked after. The results attained by
those who take pains to keep up the
flow of milk in their herds show that it
pays to supplement the food taken in
pastures by regular feeding in the
stables. You cannot get milk unless
the animal has food to make it from.
When pasturage is short and scarce,
and it takes about all the animal can
crop to sustain life, extra food is a ne
cessity if respectable yield OF milk is
expected. Nutritious soiling with what
ever the farmer happens to have,
whether corn or oats or rye, will do
much toward sustaining the flow. 1t is
even more profitable to feed grain or
shorts or meal-cake when pasturage is
thin than to allow the cows to dry up.
Drink should be given at regular times.
Twice q day, when the cows are
brought up to be MIXED morning and
evening, is often enough even in the
hottest weather, and frequently they
will drink only once. The food upon
which they live contains from sixty to
eighty per cent. of water, and this sue
culence supplies large portion of the
moisture needed. Ifcattle are watered in
this way at trough or brook of clear
running water, they will not need water
in the pasture where it is often swamp
water or otherwise impure and filthy.
Extra feeding also allows cattle to lie
down in the shade during the hottest
part of the day, which is desirable
thing. 1t has been said that excessive
heat is more injurious to milch COW
than short feed. Shade in the pasture
is therefore almost a necessity during
the hottest part of the summer Flies
also are extremely irritating to cattle at
this season, and there seems to be no
means of avoiding them. If the farmer
is lucky enough to own land bordering
upon large creek or stream, the cows
can 90 into the water and stand for a
time, switching the water up to their
backs with their tails and thus keeping
themselves comparatively free from an
noyance of insects. But as this is not
often the case, the giving of extra feed
will permit the stock to rest portion
of the time, and the eXerton is not 50
great in driving off the flies as when
they are obliged to crop the pasture and
whisk their tails at the same time. In
fact too good care of cattle is impossi-
BILE at this time of year, and the man
who makes the most out of his herd is
the one who treats them with the great,
est generosity. Utica IN. T. Herald.

Summer Pasture for Swine.

Summer feeding of swine needs to be
better considered by no inconsiderable
number of those who make this branch
Of live stock husbandry prominent
feature of their farm economy. 1t is
more than probable, however, that the
subject is receiving more attention now
than at any time previously, for, by in
quiry and otherwise, we are satisfied
that more swine are being CRASHED
than heretofore, in the +" corn-belt,"
which, it is scarcely necessary to say, is
also great porls-producing section of
the Western States. The almost con-
slant use of corn the year round and in
considerable quantities during the sum-
mer, has been pursued possibly not be-
cause it was thought to be the best
course, but mainly because it was looked
upon as advisable to utilize the corn.
There is every reason to believe that
the use of less corn and larger use of
grass in swine-feeding will materially
lessen the chances of and the tendency
to disease among swine. We need not
stop to discuss this question now; it is
an opinion held by the best authorities
and verified by experience and we pre-
sumo no intelligent man doubts it.
The forage plants especially desirable
for hog pasture are timothy, red clover,
blue grass and orchard grass. A MKT
ure, (not of these particularly but of
other sorts), is desirable and when we
have learned by suitable tests what are
especially adapted to climate, soil and
to each other, we shall have made an
important advance in this direction.
Timothy is the main reliance at present
and blue grass is exceedingly valuable.
The objection to orchard grass is it's
habit of forming tussocks at the base of
the stalk. 1t is very valuable grass
however, with very marked habit of
rapid growth when cut or eaten off.
Red clover is indispensable to nearly
every farm and makes capital hog past
ure. In woodland pasture it may be
supplemented with the white variety,
which is better adapted to shade

Laughing Off a Duel.

"Speaking of the Cash-Shannon
duel" said the exchange tiend, putting
his feet in the waste basket, " we need
a few men like Judge Dooly. He
laughed out of duels with an audacious
wit that compelled even the admiration
of his enemies. You remember lie said,
when they threatened that if he didn't
fight his name would fill the columns of
newspaper, that he had rather fill
ten newspapers than one coffin. Once
he went on the field with man who
had st. Vitus' dance. His opponent
was standing at his post, his whole frame
jerking nervously from his malady.
Dooly, in the soberest manner, left his
post and cutting forked stick stuck it
in the ground in front of his opponent.
What does this meanP asked his
opponent.
"'Why,' says Dooly, want you to
rest your pistol in that fork, so that you
can steady your aim. If you shoot at
me with that hand shaking so you'll
pepper me full of holes at the first fire?
"Then there was laugh all around
and the duel was put off withouta day."

TIE DAIRY.

STRUCTURES often exist in the pas
sage OF the cows teat In such case
whale bone probe, or knitting
needle, as large rs the structure will
bear, and gradually increasing il
size, should be frequently passed, Sc
as to distend and keep the passage
open.
BLOODY MLK.-The Rural Neu
Yorker says; "Cows coming in are moi
generally over-fed by dairymen, but a.
soon as calved, grave error is often
mode in the sudden change to q rich
food, which in many instances will give
rise to some disease of the mammary
gland by over-stimulatiou. Cows with
large udders are liable to bruise the
gland by lying on stones and setting up
inflammation of the part injured hence
bloody milk. Treatment-Place the
animal in poor pasture and feed on
laxative food. Battle the udder with
cold water and give one to one and one
half pounds of epson salts"
IT does not follow that because a COW
is of pure breed and fine symmetry it is
the most profitable to the farmer or
dairyman. A mixed breed is generally
more satisfactory and advantageous
taking into account the outlay. A cor.
respondent of the DeL1Wdre County Rec
ord says that he bought an old COW of a
dealer for $26.50, including calf, the
latter being Immediately sold for 1926.
The mother was turned into a small
field and fed about three quarts of
wheat bran. In little over the five
succeeding months she made 139 pounds
of butter, and before the expiration of
six months she was sold for S75. 1t
would have been difficult to have
picked out an animal of an elaborate
pedigree that would have proved SO
profitable in the same time.
DESPITE the very high butter produce
of some cows reported from time to
time, the average butter produce of the
United States is much below what might
be expected. Prof. Atwood, in referr-
ing to the eXaggerations abroad in ref
erence to the production of butter in
the country, says in q communication to
the Country Gentleman: "The average
of Orange County, N. Y, is only 1856
pounds per COW. For the whole coun-
try, deplorable as the fact is, the aver
age butter product cannot be over l2j
pounds year for each COW, and is
more likely to be as low as 120 pounds.
Seven millions of COWS would then pro-
duce 100000 900 pounds of butter an
nually." Does not Canada, as well as
the States, need more careful selection
of dairy stockP
BITTER cream, says the Rural NeW
Yorker, may be caused by the COW eat
ing bitter weeds, as rag weed, boneset,
willow leaves and twigs, etc. Or it
may be caused by the COW being iniuri-
ously affected by the hot weather, or by
impure water. Or it may be caused by
a fungus growth in the cream when kept
in cellar that is not we'll aired or has
anything moldy in it. Or the cream
may be kept too long, or the churning
may be too long continued. If the bit
terness is supposed to be from any cause
without the cow,a good pinch ofsaltpeter
in each pan of milk may change it. If it
is within the COW give her half an ounce
of saltpeter once day, for two or three
days; this will help to carry off the i'm
purities through the kidneys. Other
causes NAV be removed or prevented.

The Home Market for Cheese.

WHAT "A Western Farmer" has to
say on this subject in recent number
of the Rural is excellent advice to
dairymen, and is the true method to
extend the consumption of this, one of
their greatest products. But in order
TO suit small families, a sufficient num-
Der of cheeses should be made, not to
exceed a weight of over three to five
pounds. OF such sizes they could be
consumed after cutting, before drying
up or molding. The best shape for
them is like that of the common round,
fiat form. If in balls, or pineapple
shape, the rind is so thick as to make
too great u percentage OF loss in cut
ting up for the table. These cheeses
should vary from middling to best
quality, so as to be sold at different
prices, and the manufacturer name
be stamped upon them, so that the pur-
chasers could be sure of their quality.
A fancy shape is not requisite to obtain
good price. Customers would only
look to the quality.
My family being small, / am obliged
now to purchase two or three pounds
of cheese at time of the grocer,
which are cut from large, common
shaped cheese. If / buy more at a
time, and keep it in quite a dry place,
before my family can consume the
whole the last part becomes so hard as
to be uneatable. If put in a damper
place, it then gets moldy Small
cheeses conld be easily kept till con-
sumed, without danger of getting
either too dry and hard, or moldy as
the rind would protect them from both
of these for reasonable length of
time. Cor. Rural Nel0 Yorker.
